Setting the Stage

Quest 8 of 12 in the Dying Loa Finale
Alliance • Zul'Drak • Level 77 • Altar of Quetz'lun (Underworld)
Collect 10 Underworld Power Fragments from floating crystals around the Altar of Quetz'lun [75, 58].
Right-click the hovering crystals scattered around the altar grounds. Still in underworld phase (no elites). Underworld-specific enemies are present but soloable. Stay near the temple. Wandering too far phases you back to the normal world with its elite mobs. Druids can Flight Form to grab fragments without fighting. Mages can Spellsteal serpent buffs from worshippers (+200 damage, +50% casting speed). Quetz'lun gives Foundation for Revenge immediately.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Quetz'lun called Vikstone an insect and sent him to collect fragments she probably didn't need. The whole exercise was partly for her amusement, and divine gratitude in the underworld came with teeth.

“I will give you a chance at continued existence. There are fragments of the power that fueled my curse scattered about the altar grounds. It is my desire that you collect some of them for me. Not so many that the curse will be lifted, but enough that I will be able to eventually make use of them to exact revenge upon my prophet.

Go, insect. Run and do my bidding before I change my mind about letting you live.”

-Quetz’lun’s Spirit

Objective

LEVEL

77

Requires level

74

Quetz’lun’s Spirit has demanded that you collect 10 Underworld Power Fragments. Return to her at the Altar of Quetz’lun only when you have done so.

  • Underworld Power Fragment (10)

 

Locate Shimmering Crystals:
The crystals are scattered around the Temple of Quetz'lun.
Coordinates: 71, 58 and nearby areas.
Crystals are floating slightly above ground level but can be reached by most character models. Shorter races (like Gnomes) may need to jump or use elevated surfaces to reach some crystals.
Defeat Hostile Trolls:
The temple area is populated with hostile trolls, but they are manageable for solo players around level 76. Druids can use Flight Form to collect crystals without engaging enemies.
Stay in Ghost Form:
Ensure you remain within the spirit world to avoid phasing back into the normal world, where hostile elites may spawn. If you accidentally phase out, run back toward the temple to return to ghost form.

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Quetz’lun’s Spirit — Altar of Quetz’lun, Zul’Drak [75, 58]

Objective: Collect 10 Underworld Power Fragments from around the Altar of Quetz’lun.

Chain Position: 16 of 27 in the Dying Loa/Har’koa questline

 

Walkthrough

  • The Underworld Power Fragments are floating crystal objects scattered around the altar grounds. They hover slightly above ground level. Collect 10 by right-clicking them.
  • You’re still in Quetz’lun’s underworld phase. The elite mobs from the normal world are absent, but underworld-specific enemies (dead trolls, worshippers) are present. They’re soloable.
  • Druids: Flight Form lets you swoop in and grab fragments without engaging enemies.
  • Return to Quetz’lun’s Spirit inside the altar building to turn in.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Stay Near the Temple: If you wander too far from the altar perimeter, you can phase back into the normal world and aggro the elites. Running back toward the temple returns you to the spirit world.
  • Mages: You can Spellsteal the serpent form buff from worshippers in the area for a significant damage boost (+200 damage, +50% casting speed).
  • Quetz’lun gives the follow-up Foundation for Revenge immediately. Stay at the altar.

 

Lore Context

Quetz’lun’s personality shines through in this quest. She calls you “insect,” threatens to kill you if you disobey, and upon turn-in admits she probably won’t even need the fragments. The whole exercise was partly for her amusement. Her progress text also reveals tension with Har’koa, blaming her for not sending help sooner.

“I will give you a chance at continued existence,” Quetz’lun said. “There are fragments of my curse scattered about the grounds. Collect some for me. Enough that I can use them to exact revenge upon my prophet. Go, insect. Run and do my bidding before I change my mind about letting you live.”

Insect. I’d been called worse by things I’d killed.

The Underworld Power Fragments glowed throughout the altar grounds, pieces of the goddess’s fury made manifest. I collected them while the damned spirits of her former worshippers howled around me, trapped in her eternal punishment.

When I returned, Quetz’lun’s satisfaction was cold.

“What a shame Har’koa didn’t send you sooner. Then again, she and I never did get along. She probably held back your help just long enough for this to happen.” She examined the fragments. “They’ll do. Likely I won’t even need them. But it was fun watching you run around at my command.”

Divine gratitude. Heartwarming.

 

Quetz’lun admitted she probably didn’t need them. But the next task isn’t for amusement. The foundation of her revenge against the prophet who murdered her requires something far more personal in Foundation for Revenge.
