Bringing Down Heb’Jin

Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 77 • Zim'Torga
Kill Heb'Jin at the Heb'Drakkar bat rookery.
Element-Tamer Dagoda at Zim'Torga [59, 57] sends you to Heb'Drakkar [64, 52] to kill the troll leader Heb'Jin. Click the drum at the base of the rookery ramp to summon him. He flies down with his bat, use the provided Bat Net on the bat to immobilize it, then focus Heb'Jin. Neither is elite. Pair with Scalps! in the same area.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Vikstone banged the drum and Heb'Jin came screaming down from the rookery. The net caught his bat, the Destroyer caught everything else, and Dagoda's relief when it was over said more than the kill itself.

“You want to really deal with Heb’Drakkar? Collecting scalps isn’t going to get the job done. You have to take out their leader, Heb’Jin. The problem is, he’s up on the bat rookery goading his forces on. Bang his drum and I guarantee that he’ll fly down. That’s when you kill him. You can take this net we got from one of his headhunters.

Use it to trap his bat when he lands. That way you won’t have to fight both of them.”

Quest Giver: Element-Tamer Dagoda — Zim’Torga, Zul’Drak [59.5, 56.5]

Objective: Kill Heb’Jin.

 

Quick Facts

  • Level: 77
  • Location: Heb’Drakkar, northeast of Zim’Torga [64, 52]
  • Prerequisite: Sealing the Rifts
  • Pairs With: Scalps! (same area)

 

Walkthrough

Find the Drum

  • Head to Heb’Drakkar at [64, 52], northeast of Zim’Torga. Look for Heb’Jin’s Drum at the base of the ramp leading up to the bat rookery building.
  • Clear any nearby Heb’Drakkar trolls before using the drum so you don’t get adds mid-fight.

 

Summon and Kill Heb’Jin

  • Click the drum. Heb’Jin will yell a taunt (e.g., “I’m gonna come down there and kill you good!”) and fly down from the rookery on his bat.
  • When he lands, he dismounts and his bat becomes a separate mob. You’ll be fighting both.
  • Use the provided Bat Net on the bat to immobilize it so you can focus on Heb’Jin. The net is optional (neither Heb’Jin nor the bat is elite), but it makes the fight cleaner, especially for casters.
  • Caster warning: Heb’Jin chains a stun with a spell interrupt, which can lock you out of casting. Rely on DoTs and fast-cast spells (under 2 seconds) to work around it.
  • Kill Heb’Jin for quest credit. The bat is optional.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Do this alongside Scalps! Both quests are at Heb’Drakkar. Kill and scalp trolls on the way to the drum, then finish with the Heb’Jin fight.
  • Bug history: This quest had widespread spawning/drum issues during original WotLK (2008-2009). These were largely server-side problems fixed by GMs. If the drum doesn’t work in WotLK Classic, try logging out and back in. If that fails, submit a ticket.

Warrior IconVikstone's War Journal

Dagoda looked at Ahunae and sighed. “Collecting scalps isn’t going to get the job done. You have to take out their leader, Heb’Jin.”

Ahunae said nothing. The tension was old.

Heb’Jin perched atop the bat rookery, screaming orders at his forces. Dagoda gave me a net and a plan: bang the drum, trap the bat, kill the troll.

The drum’s boom echoed across the ruins. Heb’Jin swooped down, the net tangling his mount before it could rejoin the fight. After that, it was just him and the Destroyer.

Dagoda kissed my cheek when I returned. “You have no idea how much of a relief that is! Not to mention his incessant yelling.”

 

Heb’Jin’s rookery went quiet, and with Dagoda’s gratitude still warm, Vikstone turned south toward Har’koa’s altar in Relics of the Snow Leopard Goddess
