To complete this quest you just have to run up to the altar. The hard part is there are level 50 elite trolls on that altar. Use whatever speed increase, or evasion tatic you have and rush up to the altar and hop down and run off. If you can't stealth you will probably die trying to run away afterward but at least you will have the quest completed.

Uber-easy if your the right class.

Druid/Rogue = Just cloak because you reach the top and avoid the elites and such.

Hunters/Locks = Just send your pet to attack and quickly hit the top then run away!

Location: The Hinterlands Aerie Peak 9.44 (To recieve and complete the quest). The Altar of Zul 49.68

Description: Although you could mount up and run up the altar to touch the platform and complete the quest, it would be smart to find a group and kill the mobs. The reason being that you can also obtain the "Sacred Mallet" which is used to create the "Mallet of Zul'Farrak" which is used to summon Gahz'rilla in the Zul'Farrak instance. The trolls and wolves around the altar are levels 46-47. However, once you reach the top, you will find two level 50 elites. I brought a level 60 hunter with me to do things the easy way. I sheeped the front elite and from there we successfully cleared the altar. Everyone in the party will be able to loot the mallet from the elites.

I haven't seen anyone mention this, so I will. While you can indeed just run up to the top of the temple to complete this quest, if you later want to summon Gahz'rilla in ZF to complete that quest, you need to actually kill the level 50 elite Qiaga the Keeper. She drops the Sacred Mallet, which can be transformed into the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, which is used at the gong inside ZF to summon Gahz'rilla.

I highly recommend bringing a high level with you, just so you can get the mallet. It's frustrating to be in the middle of ZF and realize no one in your group can summon Gahz'rilla.

as a warrior, i followed the path that leads to the stairs of the targeted building (THE ALTAR OF ZUL 48,68)

it's pretty easy since most of the guards there are magic user. just use shield bash or pummel on them to interrupt their magic and your good to go. they have pretty weak armor and attack power.

at the top, pull the non elites down the stairs and take care of them.

all you need to do after that is run towards the altar at the top and you'll get a "quest complete" kinda message. then,,,just get your @$$ outta there.

*i suggest grinding on the mages if you know how to use your warriors. pretty good xp with drops of magecloth and coins*

goodluck!

At around (48,67) is the Altar of Zul.

At the top of the pyramid like structure is
Qiaga the Keeper (52)
Morta'gya the Keeper (50)
and 3 Vilebranch Soothsayers (47)

All you have to do for this quest is run to the very top and into the middle where these mobs are at until you get a quest advance. This is more or less a suicide run, I sent my pet in and then ran around until I got complete msg then ran out. My pet ended up dead of course because they are all casters.

The Altar of Zul is marked on the map if you have cleared the fog at that location. Otherwise, bottom center.

This is simply a positional update. Getting to the top is all you need.

Even a level 1 could do it with the services of the graveyard =) [Read: Corpse-flopping works]

If you happen to be a gnomish engineer, the Gnomish Cloaking Device makes this quest easy to solo. Just use it near the top of the stairs, run in until the quest is complete, then run back to the stairs. Nothing on the top will aggro on you while you're invisible.

Well, for those of us who stay in human form-Pally, warrior, mage... if you have this quest and it's yellow-like it was for me, and likewise are stunned that 2 lvl 50 Elites are waiting for you at the top-don't frett, You only have to let the altar "Pop"-like when you discover new territory.&nbsp I would recommend killing the two on your way up the stairs, then run to get to the altar, you practically have to stand on it-you don't have to pick anything up, or open anything, so the onslaught of lightening and shadowbolts won't stop you from completing this quest, you might die, or you might be able to jump off the side-I recommend the left side, and run like crazy-if you do die, your repair bill on mid 40 lvl gear shouldn't be too bad.&nbsp Good Luck!

How ever can a lvl 48 face 2 lvl 50 elites is beyond me. But it's still easy to get to and easy to complete. Like most others have been doing...run up the steps, touch the altar, and run away. You will mostly likely die, but it's ok. Quest complete and lots of exp.

The Altar of Zul is located in the middle of the map in the south.

If you have a mount then you can do this from lvl 40+... Might want to bring a healing potion, but that's all you need. Great xp! WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL SPAWN AT THE SPIRIT HEALER OVER BY THE EASTERN SHORE. Don't accidentally resurrect there thinking you're near the quest giver.

Note: This is only if you need to search the altar - not use the hammer with it (which is a completely different quest-chain. By searching the altar - all you must do is be near the altar at the top, no need for clicking anything.

Hope this helps.

All you hafta do is go to the top of the altar and your quest if completed.

When I got to the top, a previous party had already killed off everything at the altar. So I guess I got off lucky. =)

Don't tell us a long ass story about how you did this, just explain what people need to know.

All you need to do to complete this quest is touch the altar at the very top of the "pyramid".

However your class decides to accomplish that is up to you.

49, 69 coords listed above are correct.

Super easy for my lvl 44 warlock.&nbsp Had voidwalker out (didnt even need him), mounted up, ran up the steps, stopped for about 2 seconds by the altar, completed quest, ran off the left, fell off the altar, used a health potion, ran like hell. No need to kill a thing.

Yes, you can solo this, but the elite mobs at the altar drop the Mallet of Zul (or whatever it's called) that's needed to make the mallet for summoning Gahz'rilla in Zul'Farrak, so it could be worth it getting a few friends and take em down instead of a hit-and-run

Actually, there are two named 50's up there, very close together, plus another mob that might be a minion for one of them. I couldn't attempt Quiga without pulling the other 50.

The altar itself is very easy for a druid as long as you are high enough not to aggro the mobs while stealthed. Just kitty stealth; you can walk right up and right back down again, no problem. Also, I got 6300 exp after the 2.3 patch.

Not really any trouble as a 46 paladin. Rode up on mount, completed quest, bubbled, jumped off the altar and ran like hell. Took a few to many shadowbolt's to the back, and fell about to the lake. Went back, ressed, rode back to Aerie Peak and turned in quest.

Did this as a lvl 43 Pally. I worked my way around to the steps then ran as fast as I could up them casted forbearence at the top and jumped off the right side. Didn't aggro anything after I jumped. Health was at about 20% but I managed not to die.

Pulling a few of the casters may help a bit .. But as mentioned above, you need only to walk up to the altar to complete the quest. Most definitely doable solo if you`re willing to do a suicide run.

yes it was quite easy at lvl lvl 49 pally. just killed my way to the top and then i used a shield that lasted 10 seconds which was plenty of time to escape, and also found a mithril ore vein behind there too :).

then i was looking about this quest at this very moment which i had auto-run on, switched back to my screen ran into a mob of lvl 46's hehe. be careful dont do what i did lol. but overall quest was simple.

I did this just now, quite simple actually. Lvl 45 Priest. Run up the stairs, obviously casters have casting time so you may get hit 1-3 times, but not enough to take you out. Run straight through the alter and hang a hard right. Jump off each ledge, which removes you from line of sight from the casters. The jumps take no life at all. I lived through it without even using PW:S :P 4100exp

As other people below me have claimed, it is quite simple.

I did it as a 42 warrior. I rode my mount the entire way up until I could no longer be mounted and just simply jumped onto the altar and ran out of there. Needless to say, I died quickly after.

I res-sicked and spawned exactly where I had to find the Port Wine for someone in Stranglethorn Vale. I spawned on the very easternmost mountains cemetary.

Here are my sugdestions:

1> Invisibility potion works nice.
2> Pet draging all mobs then you just run, complete Q and run out.

And for priest and pallys, shield will work fine I belive. ) Then what about a speed potion? :P

At 48 I just went into defensive stance, ran up and jumped off the right side, I might recommend left instead as soon as the quest says complete.
