The Branch of Cenarius

Kill Geltharis and return the Branch of Cenarius to Illiyana at Forest Song.
Branch of Cenarius

Description

Anilia puts her hands on your shoulders and draws you close. Gasping, she points towards the arch to the north, before her eyes close and her last wheezing breath leaves her body. "He has taken it... Geltharis..." You know in your heart that Anilia's dying wish is to see the Branch of Cenarius back in dryad hands.

&nbsp Ok......... It is easy as 1,2,3.

After you get the quest for "The Branch of Cenarius" look north you should be at the location of&nbsp 78,45 for those of you that have locations.

If you look north there is an archway (its the only one!), go under and you should see a 32 named Prince Raze he is a unique mob not an elite as some have mentioned.

Also I have read that some people have killed him and not received the item, that might be because it�s the wrong guy!

The easy way to tackle this is to stay close to the left and pass Prince Raze jump down to fight Geltharis and his friend. Remember to stay to the left so as not to disrupt the Prince.

This was quiet easy for me as a 34 druid in bear form.

Needless to say I then turned and killed Prince Raze and his friend just for fun. Hit him with a DOT before clawing him to death. Make sure you kill him before his friend or you could be in some trouble!&nbsp

Once done, head back to the "Shrine of Aessina" at the location given 22,53 which is correct and hand your quest in. The next part will then be given.

--------
Enjoy....

He's located at 78,42. Approach from the South through camp, then through archway.

another easy quest made by blizzard. kinda fun though the xavian creatures have a fast spawn rate, if your a high level 20 or low level 30 watch out, i had a few spawn on top of me while casting healing spells and using mana drinks. other then that it was pretty easy..

Mage: use your dampen magic buff, along with your mage armor buff, right before you go into battle buff yourself with mana shield to absorb all physical damage. and cast away =D

current coords this push (Ashenvale: 77, 42)

Geltharis is through that arch behind Anilia's body. You have to fight a few satyrs before getting him, he's right at the back.

I'm a 32 hunter, and it was a piece of cake. I didn't even aggro the other satyr standing next to him. I guess that was a bit of luck :)

Apparently, since patch 2.0, Illiyana has been moved to Forest Song, far to the east in Ashenvale.&nbsp It's the same spot where Kayneth Stillwind is.

The place has been built up and is populated by others now as well.

got the branch from prince raze. i guess if he's around, geltharis gave it to him. normally the prince is a longer than normal spawn, according to other info here on this site.

I'm a rogue who went from level 27 to 28 on this quest.&nbsp

I stealthed over to Anilia's body and clicked for the quest.&nbsp After accepting it quickly, I promptly vanished after drawing aggro from every enemy around.&nbsp

Geltharis is through the arch to the north, as directed in the quest.&nbsp Stealth through the arch into the L-shaped area.&nbsp There are three satyrs in addition to Geltharis.&nbsp If you're careful, you can kill the first two separately.&nbsp The next satyr is next to Geltharis.&nbsp You can actually pull Geltharis and not draw the other satyr with a well-placed throwing knife.&nbsp Kill him, take the branch, and rejoice.

I have submitted a few screenshots for visual refference.

If you can stealth this becomes a 2 kill quest...not counting the kills needed to talk to quest giver. Stealth along the right hand side of the arch hugging the wall...cross over to the little hill on Geltharis' left hand side and take out the rogue in the little area to the left of the small tree stump....you will pull both but this prevents others from coming at you.

If you cannot stealth just clear everything around him before going after him.

Heres a good tactic for those of us who dont like playing rough. Sneak past them by climbing over the arch at the back of the gully where Geltharis is. When you get to the other side of the arch, look left and jump up behind the tree.

From here you can pick them off one at a time and it takes them a while to get to you. If you can stop them in their tracks somehow it works a treat. I used tangling roots.

Those are the correct coords, rounded down, but the reality is that those map into the mountains. The little camp where you find Anilia has an archway sort of thing at the back. You go through the archway, slowly if you are not way out of proportion for this sort of thing, and there is no trouble single pulling. Geltharis is a L31 that hits harder than the bears or spiders. I had to use the same strategy (as a L31 priest) that I did if I aggroed two of the mobs in the camp, redotting, and reshielding partway through, finished low mana and mid health. The coordinates are about +0.5 or +0.8 in both directions.

As the quest text says, he's just north of where you found the poor dying dryad, almost within bowshot in fact. He had 1 rogue with him that I was able to pull off with a bow and then my bear and I took him easily.

You can carfully sneak hugging the mountains till you go through the gate, then you can carefully pull the demons 1 by one until all thats left is him and one other demon next to him. If you wait till they are farthest apart, pull him out and engage. He's nothing to tough, no tricks up his sleave really. I did with a lv 28 druid. When your done sneak out and enjoy.

As of patch 2.3.3 Geltharis is Level 32. Solo'd as a level 30 druid w/ no problems though. He's actually a pretty easy kill.
