The fire is at the end of the dungeon, after you go down the stairs. Drakuru gets promoted by the Lich King during a small event.

Comment by neotalon

Requires level 73 not 74. I currently have it as a 73. And this quest takes you into the instance Drak'Tharon Keep.

Comment by sensenmann

So I figured I would comment, since this one confused me for a bit.

This one is for the instance, Drak'Tharon's Keep.

You can get the Mojo inside.

Comment by DeadMAX

Brazier is behind the skeleton boss. Just summon him up, turn on music and see how epic this quest is.
It really suprised me...a lot.

Comment by Totoro

There is quest chain in Zul'Drak that leads you to kill Drakuru. To start it, you need to loot Unliving Choker from Withered Troll near of Zeramas.

Comment by 13843

Solo'd as a 75 druid, feral.

A few spots it gets a little too close for comfort, but easy enough in the end.

When you need to turn in the quest at the end, talk, grab reward and run for the exit of the instance by jumping down the holes. Eventually, the boss will reset, and you'll drop combat. No deaths, and some nice rewards.

Remember that you must have Enduring Mojo before starting.

Comment by kaze950

If you abandon this, how do you get it back? Do you have to summon the guy at one of the alters or can you get it from regular him? (I ask because I'm not doing any dungeons while leveling to 80)

Comment by 143531

You can go back to Drakaru in the cage at Granite Springs (16, 47) and he will give you a new elixir.

Comment by dakkoth

For Kaze950 i did the same thing, just go back to drakaru in Granite springs get the elixer back if you don't have it then go back to Drakil'Jin ruins and just collect the sacred mojo then go to the brazier and there you go.

Comment by 178121

Is the brazier outside the instance or inside.?

Comment by 244350

Confirmed it's possible to solo as a rogue/druid if you picked up the mojo on an earlier run and got the quest later.

Tightest bit was at the last boss where you have to accept the reward with the guy standing right where the boss is. I actually agro'd the boss but you can accept it quick enough for it not to be a problem. Just vanish out of there.

Comment by 245270

These are quest strings that open up and lead to quests inside the instance:

strings start at 73

Good Troll Hunting opens up after completing My Enemy's Friend
In order to open that quest up you have to complete "The Thane of Voldrune" - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12259
(which is the end of the Voldrune three part line)

start with Good Troll Hunting (from Sergeant Thurkin, Conquest Hold, Grizzly Hills)
which leads to Filling the Cages (from Samir in Granite Springs, Grizzly Hills)
which opens Truce?
that leads to Vial of Visions
that leads to Subject to Interpretation
leads to Sacrifices Must be Made
which leads to Heart of the Ancients
which leads to My Heart is in Your Hands
which leads to Voices From the Dust
leads (finally) to Cleansing Drak'Tharon (which is a quest for inside Drak'Tharon Keep)

after doing up to Subject to Interpretation and Scourgekabob
(a single quest from Prigmon in Granite Springs, Grizzly Hills)
Seared Scourge opens,
which leads to Search and Rescue (another inside the Instance Quest)
after you do that quest (completed in the instance) Head Games opens and is doable
(use the quest item on the corpse of the second boss).

Comment by seitori

Can be completed on Heroic difficulty.

Comment by 257603

I wanted to point out that the mojo dropped by mobs is lootable by ALL party members. I had 11 by the time we hit the last boss. Only one person in the party needs to use the mojo to summon in the troll for the 'event' and subsequent complete quest.

Comment by 117973

Completed this as 75 mage. Just use invisible and run to safe spots all the time ;)

Comment by 259773

As stated above, as long as you have the mojo this quest is soloable by any stealthing class.

As a 79 Moonkin I was even able to get the 5 Enduring Mojo solo :

Prowl to the Spiders room
Hibernate 1 elite Spider, root the other and crush the underlings
Kill the rooted spider
Chain hibernate the 2nd if you need time to regen mana
Kill the 2nd

Now you have plenty of room to free the cocooned Drakkaris and slaughter them (remaining spiders won't link with the trolls).

Elite Spider :

Will use ranged poison attack, be fast to dispel it cause it hurts.
Will run away to its lair at low life to summon underlings (not elite but still annoying) so don't let it flee.
Will slow/root you with some kind of net but you can morph/demorph through it.

Cocoons : Will spawn a shaman or a war-type troll (or a npc for another quest).

Shaman troll : just nuke him to death, he will just spamm weak lightning bolts and won't try to melee you (unless you get too close i guess)

War-type troll : root & nuke him, beware of the shield bash (8sec interrupt on nature spells can hurt ^^)

Be sure to let them die far enough from the remaining Spiders so you can loot them :)

I guess a restau druid should be able to achieve that too ( I actually used resto stuff for the mana regen, since the fight against the spiders was a bit long and i had to heal myself alot)

(french moonkin here so please forgive my limited knowledge in the Shakespeare's Tongue)

Comment by 131549

If need be, you can buy the mojo at the AH and save yourself the effort of pulling mobs if you are trying to solo this quest.

I completed this today as a 77 rogue, based upon all the helpful tips entered above (tyvm). I did pop a couple of improved stealth potions just to be safe, carefully watched my mini-map...and the pats...(remember to bear right past the 2d boss...don't go up the stairs), found the last boss (skeletal dragon), found the brazier down a short set of steps past the boss, used the Elixir, waited for the script to end, and claimed my reward. In my case, I let myself be killed, recovered corpse just inside the instance, flew to the nearest fp, repaired and continued to quest.

As a rogue, you do have to be quick in accepting the reward, as I died in three hits with about 12K health and all leather equipped. Probably could have popped Evasion + Vanish, but I took the easy way out.

Good luck, and I hope this works for you.

Summoning Drakuru ....

Drakuru says: Ahh, Back in Drak'Tharon at last!

Drakuru casts his gaze down on Drak'Tharon Keep.

Drakuru says: Ya done well, mon....
Drakuru says: Ya surpassed my greatest hopes.
Drakuru says: For your efforts, you be gettin' da greatest of rewards....
Drakuru says: Revelation!
Drakuru says: Be still, friend, and behold da truth of things!
Drakuru says: Master, my mission be complete.
Drakuru says: With da help of these mortals, dis region been cleansed of all who oppose us.

The Lich King says: You have done well, Drakuru.
The Lich King says: Your betrayal of the Drakkari Empire has borne me a new army.
The Lich King says: Your army....
The Lich King says: Arise, and accept my gift.
The Lich King says: I charge you now with the cleansing of Zul'Drak, Drakuru.

Drakuru says: As you wish, master.

The Lich King says: Fail me and it shall be your undoing...
The Lich King says: Succeed, and even greater power shall be yours!

Drakuru says: Forgive my deception, mon. It all been for your own good.
Drakuru says: Ya needed ta prove yer worthiness....
Drakuru says: I be needin' worthy underlings in Zul'Drak, mon. Ones ready to wield real power.
Drakuru says: You see for yourself now. Da Lich King be generous to dem who obey.
Drakuru says: Follow dis path, mon, and soon you be tastin' immortality!

... and accept your new shiny blue items!

Comment by kerluna

Wish they used phasing on this one to make Drakuru not be in the cage at Granite Springs after completion.

Comment by 265611

Quest is in Dungeon. Mojo drops from mobs inside.

Comment by 16215

Soloed as an 80 arcane/fire mage.

Took some patience, and some luck. I would run through, with mana shield, and get as far as possible with all of the mobs on me and I would go invisible, and run as far as I could and hide behind a crevice or corner where I was sure no mobs would be to wait for the cooldown to finish.

I had Glyph of Invisiblity, and used my mirror images almost every fight. When you get to the skeleton boss, just summon your mirror images, run through him, and invisi by the brazier. Do NOT de-toggle invisibility IF YOU ARE IN COMBAT---if you do the mobs WILL come after you and you will die. You have to wait until your mirror images die (which shouldn't take long) before you exit invisi. When Drakuru starts talking to The Lich King, just stay by the stairs at the brazier you summoned him at until you can finally turn in the quest. By this time all of your cooldowns will be up and just pop your mirror image, run in--accept quest, and pop invisi, and go back to the brazier. Port out.

Didn't die once.

Also, I bought my mojos from the AH before I went to the instance.

Comment by 17534

Yes, if you have abandoned this quest (and the destroyed the elixir with it), you can get a new elixir from Drakuru in his cage at Granite Springs, then you get 5 Sacred Mojo from the trolls at Drakil'jin Ruins and then you can summon him by using the elixir with the 5 Sacred Mojo near the brazier. Then he will just allow you to accept the quest like any other quest giver.

Just did this myself 7/december/2008

Wow, now I feel bad for having done Zul'Drak before Grizzly Hills.

Comment by 281536

Ok i am having the same problem ive gotten a new elixer and farmed the Sacred Mojo's...used the elixer at the one in Drakil'jin Ruins, hes appeared but he's not giving me the quest!

any advice?

Comment by D3MORIEL

So yeah, im a tard, I just realized after completing Cleansing Drak Theron(I did Betrayal first) wow exactly Drakuru was. Yeah Im dumb.

Comment by sacrificeson

i bought them AH. very cheap and easy way.

Comment by 267512

Can this be completed in both heroic and normal?

Wondering because This can't be done in Heroic mode.

Comment by 294030

Solo'd "Cleansing Drak Tharon" as a lvl 78 rogue. Got the Mojo at AH. Got in close for one screen shot of Drakuru's betrayal - elite zapped me so I had to vanish. First time I tried completing quest I got killed but when I got back Drakuru was still there waiting to complete. Grabbed loot and vanished. 5 mojo is all you need.

Comment by Hageeb

The quest says "5 Enduring Mojo". Please don't provide wrong information, if you're not sure then just don't bother.

Thanks to all those who gave tips for this quest.

Comment by 93332

Actually, he is correct. What you described is exactly what he described. You even quoted him:

then you get 5 Sacred Mojo from the trolls at Drakil'jin Ruins and then you can summon him by using the elixir with the 5 Sacred Mojo near the brazier. Then he will just allow you to accept the quest like any other quest giver.

Notice he says the trolls at Drakil'jin Ruins, and the Sacred mojo. This is so you can accept the quest. Then you need 5 enduring mojo to complete the quest and summon him inside the instance.

Comment by thearmo

how am i supposed to do this quest when im a dk. i cant even pass the mobs.

Comment by 218746

I thought it'd be easier to try to kill Warlord Zim'bo at Zeb'Halak and use that mojo and brazier to accept the quest, but I can confirm that this does not work.

EDIT: However, while still under the debuff of "Visions of Drakuru," I was able to fly to Drakil'jin Ruins and take the quest there without using the Sacred Mojo.

You could also buy the Sacred Mojo off the AH.

Comment by Lamboyster

Was anyone really surprised? "Oh hey, Mr. Troll-locked-in-a-cage, I'd love to make a blood pact with your using this dull knife. Instead of my own ax or sword, both of which probably won't give me tetanus. Then I'll run around killing buttloads of trolls for their 'mojo' and then give myself spirit visions using some kooky elixir you just mixed up, as that sounds completely safe as well."

Oh how could that possibly have gone wrong?

Comment by 319288

mon, why he always have to ask mojo?

you gotta have mojo, babeh.

Comment by 9388

Soloed as 80 Endurance DK (Imp Rune Tap, MoG, Crypt Fever, Glyph of DS). Just need to have 24k hp so that DS heals for over 3.5k each time. All quest/craft/rep blues.

Only need to kill Trollgore and The Prophet Tharon'ja and some trash.

Comment by 348030

Think i shouldant post it to this thread but can i kill Lich King somewhere? xD

Comment by Sardoche

I tried a lot of braziers with mojos but when Drakuru gets summoned, he doesnt have quest to give me. I don't know where the hell is quest now, or you dont get the quest from him ? I wish i hadnt canceled it before !

Comment by Dragoniel

Soloed this quest as a level 77 rogue.

I've been given 5 enduring mojo's from my brother, who did this quest before and had some of mojo left over.
Then I simply stealthed through all the instance, lit up the brazier behind the last boss and waited for the dialog to end. Once Drakuru got question mark above his head, I simply used evasion, chose the reward quickly, completed the quest and sprinted to the backdoor exit (vanish didn't work on this boss, I still had agro).

So, fellow rogues and druids, all you need to solo this in like 10 minutes is 5 enduring mojo's, everything else is very easy.

Comment by Donmc

I must say, the quest rewards are very appropriately named.

Comment by 421914

If you have dropped the quest before, you can pick it up again from the brazier at 71.8, 26.1. You have to kill the trolls around the area to get the mojo again but it took about 5 minutes tops with an 80 druid. You can only get this quest at the brazier coords stated as I tried getting it at other braziers but it is not available.

Comment by muticere

Looking at the screenshots, that troll hair color needs to be available for PCs!

Comment by 24066

Does this quest count towards the Grizzly Hills achievement?

Comment by 388845

I found this in my quest log it sez completed but wherer do i hand in?

Comment by krilz

I find it a bit surprising that no one has mentioned this but...:

A lot of people have done this quest so if you do Drak'Tharon often you will be the only one to pick up Enduring Mojo which you can sell to a vendor for 5g a stack which is a nice way to earn some extra cash every run. So if you don't need the quest reward don't turn it in just yet! :)

Comment by dJe781

Be extra-careful about which Image you're talking to.
This page tells that you have to talk to Image of Drakuru to pick the quest. That's untrue.
This NPC has 4 different summon locations, and there's obviously a mismatch with Image of Drakuru who is actually giving the last step of this quest chain.

Comment by quang9494

I have done this quest (Cleansing Drak'Tharon) but I dont know where to hand in this quest and take my reward. I just collected 5 Sacred Mojo and go back to the shrine and summoned the image but nothing happened...

Comment by taifeng

Soloed as a 80 BM Hunter. Even looted my 5 Enduring Mojos off mobs towards the end.

Cleared Hall of Departure one or two mobs at a time. Useful if you get killed and need to run back through. There were usually 3 mobs in a group, so I'd just freeze one mob, send in pet, hammer one of the other mobs down. Then when pet dies and you get aggro, Feign Death, revive and repeat. Gets easier as the group shrinks. Just sent in my pet and ran through mobs at the stairs at the end of the hall. Head right.

Sent in pet in the feeding ghoul room, then ran to stairs and FD. Wait for Boss to get distracted with intruders, run through Warlord's Terrace to the passage to the spider room. FD. Might be possible at this stage to also solo the spiders and their offspring for the Search and Rescue quest, but I didn't feel like dying at the time so didn't try :)

Use pet again, run through, FD. Run down hall, skirt around Boss, then into the Aviary (bat room) passage. Use pet as distraction again, run through. Same tactic all the way through the Raptor Pens (though personally I cleared most of the raptors to see what they dropped). Go up the stairs to the Overlook.

This is where the Mojos drop. There are a bunch of groups of living Drakkari mobs fighting undead Drakkari mobs up here. The living Drakkari drop the Enduring Mojo, BUT only if you attack them when they are at full health. So the trick is to attack the undead Drakkari when they are at low health and finish them off one at a time using the same pet, FD strategy. This will eventually just leave the living Drakkari for you to pick off at your leisure. Loot them to get your Mojos :)

Clear the entire terrace if you need to, I think there's a max of 11 Mojos to collect. Run up the stairs, either use your pet to distract and run through or clear the mobs up there too. Keep moving up until you see the Boss. Send in your pet, run through, FD. Light up the brazier. Drakuru will appear and walk back up to the Boss. Let him do his thing but stay out of aggro range of the Boss. Once the yellow arrow appears over him, sent in your pet to aggro the Boss, click on Drakuru and hand in the quest.

Just make sure you know which reward you want beforehand. You don't want to be messing around deciding when the Boss finishes stomping your poor little companion :)

Good fun :)

Comment by 384963

mmm not sure what happened. Quest says complete in log - think i've stuffed up somehow. Not sure where to hand it in or was i supposed to click on the image near the gongs?

Too late now i suppose

Comment by 514666

i abandoned this quest and want it back, i dont have the elixer i need to summon him to get it back....how do i get the quest back

Comment by 265042

How the heck do you solo thru this quest? I'm a 78 shammy and can't get past the first two 76 elites. I've tried every trick I can think of and the best I can do is get to the split staircase on the first floor. I can't even beat one of these elites even with all my healing pots and spells. How is anyone else besides rogues and tanks solo'ing this?

Comment by outie87

I guess i lost my elixer along the way somehow. i went back to the troll in the cage but he wont give me another one. any idea what to do now?

Comment by 258919

Don't be dumb like me and forget to grab the mojos. Two runs for one quest is not fun.

Comment by mistadabolina

I so need help with this quest. been running DTK several times but never manages to finish it.

I have 5 Enduring Mojo's, after killing the Prophet, I go down to the brazier but nothing happends, what am I doing wrong?

Is it not the enduring mojos that I need?

Comment by 621609

I was getting weary of going from place to place: kill for mojo, drink the elixer, repeat. But the final sequence at the end of this quest/chain made me feel like it all had been worth it. Very dramatic, quite surprising.

Comment by Allakhazam

First, you have to go to Drak'Tharon Keep in Grizzly Hills. Go to the top of the stairs where the meeting stone is. The entrance to the instance will be on your left. Stealth your way through the instance and go to the area where the last boss is. There will be stairs behind the boss. Go down the stairs and Drakuru's brazier is at the bottom of the stairs. Drink Drakuru's Elixer and stay by the brazier. Drakuru will go up to where the last boss is and talk with Arthas. If you are up there while Drakuru is talking, Arthas will kill you. (I found this out the hard way). When Arthas leaves, go to the area where the last boss is and talk to Drakuru to complete the quest.

I did this on my 76 B'elf Rogue and was able to stealth all the way through the instance. Make sure you have the Enduring Mojo before attempting. I was able to buy it on the AH for around 4g. It also helps to know which item you want for a reward since you only have a couple of seconds to choose your reward and complete the quest before the last boss kills you. If you're quick about it, you can vanish and stealth your way out.

Comment by Allakhazam

Can you get this quest back if you abandoned it at some point?

Comment by Quineloe

How did Drakuru get out of the cage he started out in during the first quest? we never freed him....

Comment by Aisenfaire

1. Loot 5 Enduring Mojo off the trolls that come after the raptor boss.
2. After killing final boss, go down the steps behind him and use Drakuru's Elixir at the brazier there.

If your partymate has summoned Drakuru and you attempt to use the elixir at the brazier while Drakuru is around, your mojos will be consumed without anything happening.

But don't worry! Just stick around and wait for Drakuru to finish his RP scene. Even if you didn't get to follow the "summon Drakuru" part in the quest instructions, you can talk to him and turn in the quest after his 3-minute RP.
