Shrunken Head (20)

Description

We must find if Yenniku is dead.

Slay the Bloodscalp Headhunters and take from them their Shrunken Heads. You must gather many, many heads, and I will inspect them to make sure Yenniku's head is not among them.

And if Yenniku was killed by the Bloodscalps, then may a 600-year curse fall on the spirit of their chief, Gan'zulah!

Go, <name>. You may find many Headhunters at the ruins of Zuuldaia and Zul'Kunda, along the coast to the north.

Ruins of Zul'Kunda 22,9
Zuuldia Ruins 21,11

They drop more than one skull at a time so it isnt as bad as the other quests.

The quest items have a greater than 100% drop rate from the Bloodscalp Headhunters when you have the quest. Each headhunter drops 1-3 of these items.

You mean NW of the little village Zuuldaia Ruins, closest to the coast.&nbsp (20,12 etc)&nbsp And yes, they do drop multiples.

Of the two ruins, Zuuldaia, which is right on the coast in the northwest corner, is the far easier to hunt. The headhunters are scattered around among bersekers and mystics, and you can pick them off without drawing many adds. The skulls drop off every headhunter, at least one, and as many as three. Zul'Kunda is confined and much more dangerous, with chain reaction adds in places.

I checked both the Zul'Kunda and Zuuldaia Ruins and it seems there are barely any of them at Kunda. I went to Zuuldaia and I found about 7 Headhunters. They drop 1-3 heads at the same time, as written above.

The Bloodscalp Headhunters can be found in Zuuldaia Ruins, right behind Zul'Kunda Ruins.

The cords are 19,11.

100% Drop rate, usually drops 1-3 heads.

This quest can be pretty hard... You may pull 3 mobs at a time, wich isn't good if you're only lvl 35 and melee class!
So, casters should be 34+, melee 36+... I think.
(Did it with a 35 Rogue, took a while because I needed to prepare for those "Shoot=>Pull 2=>Killkillkill=>Kill last one" episodes...)

If you enter from 21,10 you will only have to kill the quest mobs, there are a few other kinds of trolls but mostly head hunters.

You need to kill Bloodscalp Headhunters for the Shrunken Heads and they can be found in the Zuuldaia Ruins (19,12).

They drop multiple heads at a go so the drop rate is really good. The only thing you should be looking out for is as that closer to the 'main camp' it is really hard to pull them out solo.

yea it is at (20-12) just they dont always dropd them and when they do they dont always drop 2 they mostly drop 1 so it will take like 45 or an hour to finish good luck =)

I dont know if they changed a lot, but there were hardly any headhunters at all in Zul'Kunda. Don't go looking there, as you'll get multiple pulls every time you get a chance for a headhunter. Look at Zuuldaia instead.

i did this solo as a 34mage, as long as you dont pick the guys within the ruin, and just get the guys patrolling around the outside its not hard at all.

only died when ganked by alliance.

as far NW as possible is where i got all the kills.

Zuuldaia is indeed the easiest way. go al the way to the northeast corner up the hill. There are only a few berserkers and like 8 or 9 headhunters who dropn at least 2 heads a time. Happy hunting )

I think it's just luck because I just finished it, and 5 of them dropped 3 skulls, 2 dropped 2 and 1 dropped 1. So yeah, just a random thing.

The Headhunters themselves won't be a problem - at lvl 33 they didn't even breakt through my PW: Shield. If you're doing the quest at a lower level, you should keep an eye on the berserkers and make sure you stay away from them. They hit hard, and if they resist your spells... Then you're dead.

I went to the western ruin, Zuuldaia. There you could kill them one by one, and there was a lot of the headhunters too.

Some1 mentioned very NE corner of Zuuldaia had the Headhunters, but I only found Hunters. I found my Headhunters on the NW area of the ruins on the coast, and unlike the previous posts, only 2 of the headhunters droped 2 shrunken heads, the rest dropped only 1.....and certainly not 3! However, they do drop Bloody Bone Necklaces too, and I was able to finsish that quest while on this one. So everything works out in the end I guess :->
