Walkthrough

How the Seeds Work

• You receive one Seeds of Nature’s Wrath item with 3 charges, one per target.
• Use the Seeds on each target before you attack. This converts them from elites to non-elites, making them soloable.
• The target’s name changes to include “Weakened” (e.g., “Weakened Turgid the Vile”). You only get quest credit for killing the weakened version.
• If you kill a target without using the Seeds first, you’ll have to wait for it to respawn and try again.

Target 1: Reanimated Frost Wyrm [55, 34]

• One frost wyrm patrols the skies north of Wyrmrest Temple, near Galakrond’s Rest. They fly a rough north-south circuit between approximately [54, 28] and [54, 44].
• You need to be under or near a wyrm and use the Seeds to bring it to the ground. Don’t try to chase them on foot.
• A targeting macro helps: /tar Reanimated Frost Wyrm
• Hunters can tag the wyrm with an instant shot first, then use the Seeds.
• If you have the On Ruby Wings quest (Wyrmrest daily), you can use the Wyrmrest Vanquisher drake to fly up and aggro the wyrm, dismount (you get a parachute buff), then use the Seeds once you land.

Target 2: Turgid the Vile [86, 47]

• Located inside the ruined barracks in the Carrion Fields, east of Wyrmrest and northeast of Venomspite. The large ruined building sits beneath Naxxramas.
• Enter the broken castle structure and head straight in. Turgid is in a chamber on the ground level.
• If you have Flight of the Wintergarde Defender active, you can use the gryphon to fly directly to the ruins and drop in, skipping the Scourge mobs outside.

Target 3: Overseer Deathgaze [89, 19]

• Located at the northern end of Jintha’kalar, on the western (left) side of the colossal staircase leading up to Zul’Drak.
• He’s on a raised Scourge platform. Clear the surrounding mobs before engaging.
• Stop at Light’s Trust (the Argent Crusade outpost southwest of Jintha’kalar) on your way in and pick up The Cleansing of Jintha’kalar from Crusader Valus. It requires killing 15 Jintha’kalar Scourge, which you’ll knock out naturally while heading to Deathgaze.

Efficiency Tips

• Do the frost wyrm first since it’s closest to Wyrmrest, then head east to Turgid, then northeast to Deathgaze.
• All three targets are straightforward once weakened. No special interrupts or mechanics needed beyond using the Seeds.
• If you’re without a flying mount, the gryphon trick from Flight of the Wintergarde Defender saves significant travel time getting to the Carrion Fields.

Lore Context

This quest completes Lord Itharius’s experiment with the Emerald Dragonshrine’s protective seeds.

The completion text reveals he plans to contact Ysera about the results, “if she can be coaxed from her nightmare.” This is a direct reference to the Emerald Nightmare that was consuming Ysera during this period, a plotline that wouldn’t fully resolve until the Legion expansion.
