The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
Now that the demon has been removed, we must gain a power source. Unfortunately, the best power sources are usually the oldest and the hardest to get. It's neat how fate likes to take a bite out of you sometimes, isn't it?
So you're going to need to go to Uldaman and defeat the obsidian sentinel there. He's big, he's tough, and his power source packs a punch!
I wish you the best of luck, <name>. And if you don't get lucky then, well... it was nice knowing you.
Progress
Have you been to Uldaman, <name>? Did you defeat the obsidian sentinel?
Completion
You did it? Well done!
I was chatting with some of my colleagues and when your name came up they said, "You know that <name> sure works well under stress!"
But when I told them I sent you to Uldaman against the obsidian sentinel, they said I was crazy! They said, " Tabetha, you're crazy! There's no way <name> could take on that sentinel!"
And I said, "We'll see," and then they said "Yeah, we'll see..."
Well we sure showed them, didn't we!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Dustwallow Marsh), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
