[47D] Divino-matic Rod

Given by Chief Engineer Bilgewhizzle in Tanaris. You have to take the Divino-matic Rod from Sergeant Bly inside the dungeon. For this quest you have to go through the "temple event". This event takes place at the large pyramid temple. When you get there be sure to clear entire space below the pyramid. Rest up before you head up and make sure everybody is buffed. A boss Sandfury Executioner is waiting on the top. This isn't a big fight. Kill him and loot the Executioner's Key he has. Behind him are NPC prisoners in cages. You can open those cages with the key, BUT before that be sure everyone knows what is about to happen. Be sure to have your team buffed and ready!!!!
A lot of trouble will be comming up the strairs of the pyramid once you released the prisoners. Position yourself with the tank in front and the casters behind on top the temple. Be sure to keep the fight on the top of the stairs to avoid “not in line of sight” problems with healing.
Open the cages. The humans will come out and tell you that you are being attacked. A swarm of non-elite and elite troops will run up the stairs and try to kill you. This will be a long fight and you will be oom in a matter of seconds if you try and AoE through this. So only use AoE when there are a lot of mobs and you might be a bit under pressure. Other than that try and kill the elite units first. The alliance guys are all elite and will help you fight.
Survived the first attack? Great! Hurry up and drink/eat before the 2nd round starts. Same as before just keep killing. After the second wave is defeated, The NPCs will begin walking down the stairs towards the bosses at the ground (Shadowpriest Sezz'ziz and Nekrum Gutchewer). Drink fast and follow them so you don’t loose the quest. You can sheep 1 of the bosses and then help the humans clear the remaining forces before taking him out.
Now drink and eat again. Be fast here. Talk to the little guy at the farmost left and ask him to blow open the door. He will run away and open a door. When there team is ready, talk to the commander Sergeant Bly and tell him that bilgewhizzle wants his Divino-matic Rod back. He will turn red and you then need to slay them. You can sheep 1 of them again.
If you survived then be sure everyone loots the Divino-matic Rod from the commander. Also if you are alliance you need to loot the medallion here from Nekrum Gutchewer.
Reward items:

• Masons Fraternity Ring or
• Engineer's Guild Headpiece

[50D] Gahz'rilla

Given by Wizzle Brassbolts in Thousand Needles. He is at the racing track in the Shimmering Flats. This is the end boss killing quest. You need to get Gahz'rilla's Electrified Scale from Gahz'rilla. The fight itself is not so hard. BUT you have to summon Gahz'rilla with the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, so one in your party should have it. The instructions for making the Mallet can be found on an Ancient Tablet, dropped randomly by anything inside Zul'Farrak. But you don't need the instructions to create it.
To get it you need to go to the Hinterlands. In the Hinterlands, you will be going to two troll temples. First, there's the Pyramid of Zul. One of the priestesses, Qiaga the Keeper, on top of the pyramid will have an item you need: the Sacred Mallet. Take the Sacred Mallet to the very top of Jintha'Alor, a terraced troll complex at the southeastern end of Hinterlands. The place is huge, full of elites, and is in many ways a lot like Zul'Farrak itself. Trolls inside it range up to the low 50s in level. The altar you need for enchanting the Sacred Mallet is near Vile Priestess Hexx. Use the Sacred Mallet at the altar to enchant it, yielding the Mallet of Zul'Farrak.
Reward items:

• Carrot on a Stick

Map

This is the map with important spots of the dungeon:

1. Gahz'rilla
2. Hydromancer Velratha
3. Ruuzlu
4. Chief Ukorz Sandscalp
5. Sandfury Executioner
6. Shadowpriest Sezz'ziz

11. Zerillis (rare spawn)

(E = Entrance)

Bosses, tactics and drops

[45-46E] Theka the Martyr

His fight is a simple one, same as fighting a standard trash mob, but with a twist. At about 25% HP he becomes immune to physical and shadow damage. However, if you stunlock him from 25-0% he will NOT become immune. The immunity buff wears off after 30 seconds. AoE damage must be avoided as the numerous scarabs surrounding him can overwhelm a party.
Get the First Mosh'aru Tablet from his body for [47D] The Prophecy of Mosh'aru.

[46-48E] Antu'sul

After you cleared the area without pulling him, have your group stay together on the same spot, then let the tank pull the boss. Six non-elite adds will spawn and run to your group which is on the same place, so area-effect spells will kill them in several seconds. As Antu'sul loses health, he will spawn more elite-basilisk adds. It is important to completely stop damage on Antu'sul and focus on the add until it is dead before you reengage Antu'sul, or you will end up fighting 3-4 adds at the same time.
Another thing to look out for is that Antu'sul drops totems frequently. Someone with a fast attack, such as a rogue, should be on totem duty.
Item drops:

• Vice Grips 33,2%
• Lifeblood Amulet 30,7%
• The Hand of Antu'sul 15,5%
• Sang'thraze the Deflector 7,3%

[46E] Which Doctor Zum'rah

Zum'rah is friendly at first, but when you move near him he will turn hostile. The key to victory is to kill him fast as he will spawn more and more adds during the fight. There are graves all around this guy that can spawn Zombies, so watch out. Don't stand near them after engaging Zum'rah.
Best thing you can do, is open all the graves first and get rid of the Zombies. It will take some time, but it's the safest way. The first 5 or 6 graves will not spawn many Zul'Farrak Zombies, 1 or 2 max. However, if the group doesn't have time to do this, keep in mind that the zombies are fearable.
Item drops:

• Jumanza Grips 34,0%
• Zum'rah's Vexing Cane 14,8%

[46E] Sandfury Executioner

The executioner has a potent cleave attack but otherwise is not particularly dangerous. He drops the key needed for unlocking the cages behind him. When you open the cages, the "temple event" starts.

[45-46E] Nekrum Gutchewer

This guy spawns as part of the "temple event", once you release the prisoners and begin the long fight sequence, he will eventually spawn. Note that Nekrum is an undead target and can be hit with spells such as Exorcism.

[46-47E] Shadowpriest Sezz'ziz

the priest also spawns as part of the "temple event". When he spawns you should kill him fast, shadow preists always do a lot of dammage. When he's down the "temple event" will be completed or nearly completed. Keep in mind you have to do a couple of things fast when the event is finished: Talk to the little guy at the farmost left of the group of prisoners and ask him to blow open the door. He will run away and open a door. When there team is ready, talk to the commander Sergeant Bly and tell him that Bilgewhizzle wants his Divino-matic Rod back. He will turn red and you then need to slay them.
Item drops:

• Jinxed Hoodoo Kilt 22,4%
• Jinxed Hoodoo Skin 22,0%
• Diabolic Skiver 20,8%
• Bad Mojo Mask 20,1%

[46-48E] Chief Ukorz Sandscalp

The Chief is a simple boss, but you have to fight Ruuzlu in the same fight. To get to them you have to open the door to the area they are in. You can do this by talking to the little guy at the farmost left of the group of prisoners after the "temple event" and ask him to blow open the door.
First take out the two basilisks behind the wall, and take out the 4 snakes on the sides. Now have your tank hold aggro on the Chief while the rest of the group kill Ruuzlu (use your off-tank if posible). Once he's down, concentrate on the Chief.
Item drops:

• Big Bad Pauldrons 30,3%
• The Chief's Enforcer 19,2%
• Ripsaw 18,4%
• Embrace of the Lycan 13,6%
• Jang'thraze the Protector 9,0%

[45-46E] Ruuzlu

You have to fight Ruuzlu together with Chief Ukorz Sandscalp. See the tactics above.

[46E] Hydromancer Velratha

Nothing special about this one. You will kill it while clearing the area around the pool.
Get the Seccond Mosh'aru Tablet from his body for [47D] The Prophecy of Mosh'aru. And the Tiara of the Deep for [46D] Tiara of the Deep.

[45-46E] Gahz'rilla

You need to summon this boss with the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, so one in your party should have it. If you don't know where to get it, see the description at the [50D] Gahz'rilla quest.
Before summoning it you should clear the area around the pool, as Gahz'rilla likes to toss things in the air. Other then that it's a straight forward fight.
Item drops:

• Gahz'rilla Fang 44,4%
• Gahz'rilla Scale Armor 43,9%
