Tough quest if you don't know how to approach it. The Hexed Trolls are easy to kill as they only use Immolate on you. Make sure to use any kind of slowing or rooting spell just before you kill them as all of these NPC's will run away at low health.

The Voodoo Troll's will use one of two spells during the fight, lightning shield and healing wave. They may use both depending on how long the fight goes. If you have some kind of interrupt spell at level eight'ish, use it when they try to heal. The fight and drag out for very long if it's not used.

Zalazane is pretty easy. He doesn't do much damage, but will heal. Make sure to interrupt that. Additionally, he may use a shrink curse on you that reduces strength and stamina. It's not much to be worried about as he is still killable even after cursed.

For this quest, you must go south of Sen Jin Village, to Echo Islands. You will find both kinds of trolls, including Zalazane. Very easy, good grind, and good xp.

Comment by Vexikuri

Yes, as stated above can be hard if isn't approached correctly.

I'm thinking most of the time when you go to tackle this quest you'll be 2 or 3 levels lower than Zalazane. The key is to watch his walking path. He will do a small walk around the camp, then walk up a small ledge where he will stop, turn around then go back down & continue his walking.

If you get inbetween the camp and the water you'll be able to pull him alone without any problems from adds. Either make sure you fight on top of the small ledge or get him down to the beach.

A shortcut to doing this quest:

1. Zalazane walks back and forth. His path leads him to the top of the hill where Minshina's skull is.
2. Important: there is another ramp (I'll call the "Back door") opposite to the one he walks up. This one is less conspicuous and is the one you should walk up to fight him.
3. At the bottom of the Back door is a Hexed Troll and a Raptor.
4. They are separated far enough for you to take down individually.
5. After taking them out, walk up the Back door and patiently wait for him to return to the top.
6. Confront him isolated from his henchman.

I recommend you to be on level 8 or higher to maximise your chances of winning if you solo. He casts a nasty 2 minute curse which reduces your strength and stamina by 3. Here would be a good opportunity to blow your cooldowns and potions if the going gets tough.

After this quest you can speak with the Witch Doc' and get alot of diffrent kinda stuff, like get really drunk, hexed, bigger, "ghostly" and get blown up into the air ;) its really fun, btw, they're random!

I soloed Zalazane as a lvl 6 rogue, just gauge him when he starts to cast his healing spells

Comment by Oktex

Zalazane is stands at a hill in cords 68,88 in Echo Isles. He's a level 10 non elite.
You need to kill him to get his head. Around him you can find Hexed Troll's and Voodoo Troll's.

Did it with my level 8 Troll Rogue, good luck!

Location: Their all found at island in echo isles in the back

Mobs: Zalazane is in the middle of the town hes level 10 and he patrols from on the mountain (67,87) where you can find Minisha's skull https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=808 then he patrols north into the camp
The troll dudes are found all around zalazane, they are 8-9 mobs. Also be carefull the voodoo trolls can heal themselves
The agro radius was huge for me, i was level 8

Comment by 34720

i found this to be rather impossible as a level 7 hunter. there's no way to stop the heals, or to kill them before they heal.

Comment by traktorbob

If you find yourself really struggeling with Zalazane, a last option is to just run straight for the ramp and die there. When you get back to your corpse, just ress when he walks down from the ramp, and wait for him to return. This way you can fight him without pulling adds, and also easily pick up Minshina's skull.

Comment by Thottbot

Zalazane is tough, level 10 that heals a lot during the fight, be sure to have potions, bandages, anything that can help.

Comment by Thottbot

soloed it easy with lvl 8 priest..
just crowd control dont aggro more then 1 take em out one by one i came from the right take the guy out in the hut.. wait until zalazane goes up the hill so u dont aggro him 2. if u need to use some of that sticky stuff and have healing potions

Comment by Thottbot

Level 9 Troll Warrior, Soloed in easy. Just picked off the other trolls around him until it was him and another one left. I focused him, looted then ran. Healed and came back, finished up looting/killing the remaining ones i needed to complete the quest and then handed in. Not too hard. Cheers!

Comment by Thottbot

difficult to solo as a lvl 8 mage

Comment by Thottbot

I got cocky and tried it at lvl 7 as a warrior, no chance in hell of me beating him as yet, i can handle him ok by himself, but cant aviod all his buddies in the process.

Comment by Thottbot

First of all; the trolls are all found at the largest island. So dont bother to go to the other islands where you just will find raptors and tigers.

Zalazane spawns around 67,88 and he is patroling in a small area around these coords. So wait until you can do a clean pull without aggroing any other trolls.

PS. When you are doin this quest you should finish Minshina's Skull too.

Comment by Thottbot

did this at lvl 7 as a shaman, no problem it's all about using your head. sneak in the back and grab the skull for the quest before this, and turn it in, your reward is a one time use weapon that is really nice. then sneak in the back again, pop an earthbind and lightning, when he gets to you, as casts his curse, earth shock, that'll delay the curse. then just fight and heal, remember to use earthshock each time heal heals as it will break the heal and make it so he can't try to heal for 2 seconds. when he's low on health use the glowing skull and he's gone.

Comment by Thottbot

I did it with lvl 7 Orc Warrior!

Sneaked up behind (southern part) and took him off solo.

He is really a pain in THE ASS!
He heals himself 1 time and uses curse to shrink the enemy.

-2 Strenght
-2 Agility
I think it was those stats on the curse.

Warning -Voodoo trolls are no funny to attack.
They heal and use magic in melee!

Comment by Thottbot

i soloed this as a lvl 7 rogue and its real easy. The trick is simple: wait till he does his little patrol around the place, and while hes doin that, get the skull. Then u have to go bak to the village ad turn the quest in to get the skull. Then go bak and make sure no other trolls are patrolling around and just start fightin normal, usin abilities and what not. The, when hes down to about half health, but not to low so he heals, use the skull. Hopefully u get a good number and he should die instantly. works like a charm

Comment by Thottbot

He spawns near 67,88,hes kinda hard because he pulls other trolls and he can heal himself.

(Make sure u have healing potion (if you are new in the game)).

Comment by Thottbot

Zalazane is easy i was a 8 level warlock with imp and i was on like 25% LIFE and i killed him

Comment by Thottbot

Just kill em 1by1 and then just kill all those of that camp, then kill the boss.. soloed @ lvl7 hunter..

- EASY WHEN U CAN =)

Comment by Thottbot

See Screen Shot. Zalazane usually stands on the little hill to the center/left of the screen shot. SE corner of the largest Echo Island

Comment by Thottbot

Just killed this gy with lvl 8 orc hunter, but haveing problems with npc quest giver not being able to complete quest even though i have the head in my backpack :\

Comment by Thottbot

This ques was super easy. I just did it with a level 6 Orc Warrior. Go to the southermost point of the largest of the islands. Go north up the hill to your right. If he's not there, retrieve the skull. He will show up soon. Use the glue on him if you have it, then I just used heroic strike, followed by thunder clap and rend, then heroic strike 2 more times. Easy as pie.

Comment by Thottbot

Put hunters mark on him, serpent sting + arcane shot, then when he was close to me i did raptor strike after that kited him some way back using arcane shots and keeping serpent sting on him. no pots

Comment by Thottbot

i just soloed it on a lvl 8 rouge i did not need any help or any pots it was so easy just pick off the mob 1 by 1

Comment by Thottbot

Well, I just did the quest with my Level 8 Undead Mage. I climbed up the small hill from the south and waited for him to walk up it (You should start Mashina's Skull while doing this one -- Avoid making 2 trips.) and when he got far enough away from his buddies where he wouldn't pull aggro, I just Frostbolted him twice to make him slow down a lil' bit, then Firebolted away 2 more times before he was dead. If you're a Mage / Shaman / Warlock you can take him down pretty fast. Only problem you could face with this quest is aggro'ing his buddies.

If you're a Warrior / Paladin, then just run up to him and beat the living @#$% out of him. Make sure you do it on the hill though, so you don't aggro anybody.

By the way, he patrols around 66,88. You know, on that big island. Good luck. :)

Comment by Thottbot

i solo'd w lvl 6 mage =]

Comment by Thottbot

Fighting Zalazane himself was actually very easy for my level 9 Troll Shammy. A level 40-something had just come through and killed everything, but I waited a minute or two for Zally to respawn and started Lightning Bolting him at maximum range. Got three or four zaps in before he got to me, no casting from him in the meantime, and I started meleeing him until he tried to heal at about 40% health. Earth Shocked him, meleed him a few more times, he was down. He's not that strong at meleeing himself. I haven't quite finished off all the Hexed and Voodoo Trolls I need to nail, but since they like to cast Immolate, giving me more time to Bolt them, the only problem I've faced so far is keeping my mana up. Easily soloable, I'd say

Comment by Thottbot

This was easy:D. I was a lvl 8 worlock and my imp:D.. ran up the hil behind him.

Comment by Allakhazam

I also advise Picking up Practical Prey and Break A few Eggs, and Minshina's Skull before doing this quests as they are all on Echo Isle. Minshina's Skull is actually in the summoning circle that Zalazane walks around.

Comment by Allakhazam

I got this quest at level 6

Comment by Allakhazam

67,87

minshina's skull is right there too

Comment by Allakhazam

really easy to take down @ lvl 8

Comment by Allakhazam

thanks for the input. spent quite a bit of time wandering echo isle looking for the skull. looks like i have to kill zalazane again.

took him down twice at level 9

Comment by Allakhazam

If you are a mage, go to orgrimmar and get the 'speak with un'thuwa' quest from the mage trainer which leads to 'ju-ju heaps' quest which is at the same place as zalazane.

Comment by Allakhazam

First of all; the trolls are all found at the largest island. So dont bother to go to the other islands where you just will find raptors and tigers.

Zalazane spawns around 67,88 and he is patroling in a small area around these coords. So wait until you can do a clean pull without aggroing any other trolls.

Comment by Wimbleton

Zalazane has a couple of helpers in the camp who will continue to heal him faster than you can kill him (unless you're a much-higher level), so be sure to kill them first.

Comment by Takana

An easy, but slightly more time consuming, way of killing Zalazane is to complete Mishina's Skull first to get the Faintly Glowing Skull. You can safely loot it while Zalazane patrols down in the camp if you approach via the rear of the hill (as mentioned in other comments). Using this on him almost one-shotted him. Perhaps I got very lucky, but it will most certainly help.
