Kill Eranikus.
Objective by objective
- Kill or interact with Shade of Eranikus NPC #5709
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
The Hakkar blood the Atal'ai have been injecting into the green dragons has had devastating effects on the dragons themselves. It appears that these dragons, former jailors of the Atal'ai, have been corrupted by its presence in their bodies and have become creatures of Nightmare.
Eranikus, Ysera's primary consort and lead watcher over the temple, was infused with the largest quantities of blood and has become twisted beyond imagination. After Jammal'an is dead, find Eranikus and end him.
Completion
You only defeated Eranikus' Shade? This is most troubling...
Let us hope that his full form does not still exist outside the Temple. Only Ysera herself is stronger than him in our flight.

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 (The Temple of Atal'Hakkar), 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.
