Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Defeat the Sha of Fear in the Terrace of Endless Spring and acquire the Chimera of Fear.

Objective by objective

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

I've picked up a few motes of pandaren wisdom during my time here. I particularly enjoy this one:

"The timid feel fear before trouble starts; the cowards feel fear as trouble happens. The bravest among us feel fear only after the troubles have been taken care of."

Is that true? Let's find out.

The Sha of Fear has fled into the Terrace of Endless Spring. Pursue it there, defeat it, and rip out its spirit - presuming it has one.

Your bravery will be handsomely rewarded.

Progress

Another bit of pandaren wisdom: "Fear is not a criminal we must lock away. It is a teacher we must seek to understand." In facing our fears, we gain great strength.

Have you faced your fears, <name>?

Completion

You have done it!

Some put their faith in magic or steel. But in my experience, fear is the most powerful weapon one can wield. Use it properly, and your enemies cannot bring themselves to fight you.

What you need

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

The reward

No item reward.

The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.

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 Veiled Stair), 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.
