The end of our hunt is upon us. We have gathered the strongest the Shado-Pan have to offer, and with your strength to aid us, we will defeat the Sha of Hatred and choke out its influence on the world.
When we enter the tunnel, stay close, and trust in my orders. Defeating a Sha is nearly impossible, but I have a plan that will surely assure our victory.
Whatever happens, it has been an honor traveling beside you, <name>.

Progress
It's difficult to keep the hatred out of my heart when facing the creature that nearly put an end to the Shado-Pan.
Completion
Defeating a Sha... is not an easy thing. And killing one is nearly impossible. It is a miracle that we came out of this unscathed.
Taran still blames himself for letting his hatred get the best of him and setting this beast loose on the land. It may take some time for him to come to terms with this, but it is important that he does, lest he be vulnerable again.
We accomplished a great thing this day, a thing that will not soon be forgotten.
And neither shall you for your hand in this. Thank you.
Gains
- 294000 XP
