The quest giver's words
<The head of Gan'zulah speaks.>
Curse you! And curse your ancestors!!
Only blood and revenge can cool my rage, so if that is your wish, then... do this:
Throw yourself into the heart of the Skullsplitters to the east. Slay the fiercest among them, and if you survive...then break yourself against their chief, Ana'thek the Cruel. Hah! Bring me his shattered armor if you can!
May he tear off your limbs and leave you to rot and be eaten by carrion.
Progress
Although my own flesh boils off my skull, I can still smell your fear.
Hah! You will never complete my task...
Completion
I do not want to believe it, but I cannot deny what you have done. And my rage eases, now that Ana'thek is defeated.
Your might will drive you to great deeds, <name>. But one day...I will see you in the Nether and we will again match strength.
I will be waiting.

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 (Stranglethorn Vale), 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.
