Walkthrough

Step 1: Find Drak’aguul

Drak’aguul spawns at [73.6, 29.7] on a rock near Drakil’jin Ruins and patrols the staircase that winds from the ruins down to the shore. He walks with two level 73 Drakkari guards. His patrol path runs roughly between [73, 29] and [72, 30].

Step 2: Fight

Drak’aguul is a level 73 ice troll with a two-phase combat script:

• Phase 1 (solo): When you engage, Drak’aguul tells his guards to stand down: “Wait for me orders, I handle dis myself!” He fights alone and opens with Berserker Charge, which charges at you and knocks you back. Watch your positioning; the knockback can push you into nearby hostile mobs (Drakkari Oracles in the area hit hard with nature spells).
• Phase 2 (guards join): When his health drops, he calls his guards: “Dey be stronger then I expect mon, attack dem!” Both level 73 guards join the fight.

Best approach: Pull him to an open area away from other mobs before engaging. Focus all damage on Drak’aguul. Once he dies, loot the mallet. You can then either kill the guards for XP or simply run.

Drak’aguul is not elite, so most at-level players can solo him comfortably. The guards are the complication, not Drak’aguul himself. If the guards are overwhelming, loot the mallet and disengage; you don’t need to kill them.

Step 3: Return to Kraz at Harkor’s Camp

Turn in at Kraz [73.8, 34.0]. Not Samir at Granite Springs.

Kraz’s response is ominous: “You have done well thus far, but now comes the true test.” The next quest, See You on the Other Side, requires you to deliberately die.

Respawn Warning: Drak’aguul has an extremely fast respawn timer. He can respawn within 1-2 minutes, sometimes while they’re still in the area fighting his guards. If you’re lingering near his patrol path after looting, be prepared for round two. Loot and leave.

Lore Context

Kraz explains that the canopic jars from the previous quest confirmed the corruption he already sensed. The ancient Drakkari spirits in Drakil’jin Ruins can’t find peace because something is keeping them trapped. The mallet Drak’aguul carries is the key to the ruins’ ceremonial gongs, which will be used in the next quest to enter the spirit realm.

Drak’aguul is a living Drakkari ice troll guarding the ruins’ entrance with his soldiers. He’s not Scourge; he’s one of the surviving Drakkari who still holds the ruins. His possession of the ceremonial mallet suggests he’s a figure of authority at the site, perhaps a gatekeeper or guardian of the crypt.

The mallet’s purpose becomes clear in the next quest: striking the gongs outside the catacombs summons Warlord Jin’arrak‘s spirit, who kills you, allowing you to enter the spirit world as a ghost and communicate with Gan’jo. The mallet is both a key and a death sentence.

Chain Position This is step 2 of 5 in Kraz’s spirit cleansing chain:

1. It Takes Guts…. (collect canopic jars) ✓
2. Drak’aguul’s Mallet ← you are here
3. See You on the Other Side (use mallet on gongs, die, enter spirit world)
4. Chill Out, Mon (use Snow of Eternal Slumber on spirits, collect Spirit Particles)
5. Jin’arrak’s End (destroy Warlord Jin’arrak, free the tormented souls)
