Objectives

Collect 10 Silithid Brains.

•  [Silithid Brain] (10)

Description

Although the silithid disappeared for a time immediately following the destruction of Silithus, they have recently returned from beneath the ground.

These new silithid seem stronger than before!

My hypothesis is that the silithid are feeding on some kind of power source beneath the blade of Sargeras.

I've been tasked with studying the effects that this mysterious power is having on the silithid hives.

Bring me as many intact silithid brains as you can carry and I'll begin the research!

Rewards

You will receive:

• 19 40
• 16,450 XP

Progress

Do you have the brains?

Completion

Oh! Look at these big, beautiful brains! I can't wait to dig in... thanks for your help, <name>! You can stay and watch if you want, but it may get a bit messy!

Notes

Head to the remnants of Hive'Ashi, Hive'Zora, and Hive'Regal on the edges of Silithus: The Wound. Kill the big silithid and loot the broodlings.

There are three rare-elite silithid in this phase, one in each hive: Qroshekx at Hive'Ashi, Xaarshej at Hive'Zora, and Ssinkrix at Hive'Regal. Consider taking them on as a group.
