Kill Warlocks in the area, not neccessarily the ones fighting Azaloth, until you get a http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30811 (Scroll of Demonic Unbanishing). Use the scroll on Azaloth.

Want to add that Azaloth will not be kind with you and begin smash your face with 1000dmg hits on leather.

So be sure some locks around him are alive when he's freed.

Comment by 18906

I attacked a warlock and got all of em on me (the ones fihgting Azaloth =(

Comment by Dianora

The scroll drops off both warlock and summoner. You DO NOT have to kill any of the warlock next to Azaloth. Hell, I just landed from the air and activate the scroll, and walk away. fly out and look at the firework.

Comment by Desacrasa

To those people having trouble getting the scroll to free him to drop, be aware that a large number of people somehow bugged doing this quest and the drop will not drop. I farmed the mobs for over 1 hour and finally petitioned a GM who told me that they are aware of issues with this quest. So I'm fully 100% for sure that it was bugged since I had been there so long and got nothing. At least I got a decent number of drops out of the whole deal.

Now thats to say no one can do it.. a paladin came by and did it within 3 kills and freed him.

Comment by Amethyst

Just did this quest. The scroll dropped from the warlock at 72.2, 50.3

Comment by 22991

got it first kill

Comment by 20276

This quest is for both Aldor and Scryers. 250 rep with whatever you are.

Comment by 28883

Fun note- after Azaloth kills the warlocks, he'll fight one of the 70 elite Demon Hunters.

Comment by 9160

The scroll dropped on the 1st kill for me, then I got in azaloth's range and used it, and he started fighting the warlocks, and then it said azaloth freed, and then he died..I didnt see him fight no hunter.

Comment by 19170

After you free him using the scroll, he will kill the locks in the area. After that, Alandien, an elite demon hunter, will come and kill him. None of the mobs turned "grey" for me, so they may be taggable to loot later. Did not try since I was solo. His health was the lowest while fighting the demon hunter, so you may want to try tagging him then. Alandien is part of another quest, and easily killable in a group.

Comment by 46003

There is a wondering warlock killable at 70,51 without interaction with any others. Two kills and it dropped. A little patience but if soloing; its an option

Comment by Sniff

Got my scroll on the first summoner that i killed :)

And i killed that big demon after the warlocks were killed, he had about 45%.

Comment by Kryogen

Received after my 3rd warlock, holding him back.

Comment by Drelf

Killled a single Sunfury Summoner. They drop the scroll too.
I stood near Azaloth and clicked scroll. Very easy quest.

I have uploaded screenshot of the attack.

Comment by 55493

I got the Scroll of Demonic Unbanishing on the 3rd warlock i killed. I flew to the rear of Azaloth as far back as i could with out falling off the ledge, dismounted, Use the scroll on Azaloth, and flew off.

Comment by 58016

Followed the instructions from the folks above regarding the obtaining of the scroll and so forth, got on second of the row of summoners 1 tier down from the big guy.

Activated scroll at max range, let him kill about 3 warlocks and then went flat-out dps on him, he actually drops really easily. No good loot though (40s)

Comment by 20719

i shot him a few time and let the locks get him below 20%, then killed him, got some cash and a white item. nothing important

Comment by FroRev

It can take a minute for the demon hunter to run up and fight him after he kills the warlocks.

Comment by 61749

Two things to add:

The Warlocks that are summoning Azaloth DO drop the scroll. (i actually found killing the 6 or so Warlocks in this area and then waiting for them to respawn the easiest way to get the scroll).

Second, I found out the hard way that if you have killed all the Warlocks summoning him, he will not have anything to attack, except you. I died before the elite demon hunter could show up. If you've killed them all it might be worth waiting for some of the warlocks to respawn in order to see the whole show and avoid death.

Comment by 92055

You can also lvl ranged weps on him when hes banished

Comment by 4336

He is agressive towards everybody so be sure to have an escape route planned when you release him. You can't solo him so jump down from a ledge to remove his aggro, and be sure there isn't any other mobs down there or you are surely going to die .

Comment by 97336

As someone above said, this is a GREAT opportunity to increase weapon skills.

I killed the 6 summoners, then increased skills, rinse, repeat.

Comment by Velo

Whoops. I killed the 6 Warlock around Azaloth, got the scroll, unbanished him, then proceeded to kill Azaloth. I thought it must have been part of the quest. I guess I should read the quest better next time!

Oh well, scratch down 1 hard quest mob to a resto shammy with 900 spell damage and an earth elemental ;)

Comment by ShamanKalii

Alandien comes and slaughters him if you ignore him after Unbanishing him. Slightly entertaining. She absolutely OWNS him. He doesn't stand a chance.

Comment by BruutalHunter666

Killed one of the summoners below Azaloth, got the drop on the first kill.

Flew up to the ledge behind Azaloth, one of the Warlocks aggro'd on me but, you can kill them on the ledge(ranged only) without them bugging and evading all your attacks.

Afterwards, you can watch Azaloth sluggishly eradicate all the mobs around him and then Alandien comes to wreck the day, Azaloth being bigger, also has less health( whodathunkit? ) and eventually gets slaughtered by said Demon Hunter. I had my money on Azaloth but, he is a poose compared to Alandien.

For the Horde!

Comment by Bedeni

i killed 3 of the warlocks banishing him and the 2nd one droped the scroll and he attacked me first but i managed to escape(70 warrior) jumping down(there were no mobs there us there was a hunter killing them).....i gues i was lucky =)

Comment by ThyFlame

He is soloable, but you have to have good gear. I did it as a Fury War in mostly T5/S3. You don't actually have to kill him, though. The only requirement is to use the scroll on him.

Comment by 153616

well i kinda was lucky here
went there with flying mount,killed the warlock closest to me,the item dropped
and then i used it from the longest range,waited for the q to complete,(as a mage) used invisibility in case i got aggro, then went back to give the q.

Comment by 219253

This quest increases you scryer and not you aldor rep do not be fooled.

Comment by 97021

Soloed him with my hunter good gear ? no just use the scroll without killing any of the warlocks Azaloth will kill them had to keep pet on Azaloth.

You may need to run thru Azaloth once to get the warlocks off you after that all good no heals nothing, warlocks and Azaloth died at the same time for me lol good luck.

Comment by Shiva20

I just did the quest and had the hardest time finding it.

Turns out, it is in the place said here, but it was invisible
for me. there where locks casting to something invisible. so i killed
them. I was still invisible :S but i targetted it by accident.

so completed it. but just so you knwo, it can be invisible!

Comment by 715936

Stood on the wall nearby. One warlock started shooting, but took care of her easy. Then read the scroll. He wails on the warlocks and other misc mobs that happen by. But there's no Alandien, no other elites - he just kills his captors, stands there looking smug for awhile, and then eventually disappears.

Comment by 830086

After hunting for the scroll for a while...took foreva to drop, used it on the demon and funny thing happened...i watched him beat on the warlocks around him but as most above me who watched the show said he would kill all his captors and then a demon hunter would appear to kill him...the warlocks who held him captive actually did the killing. he got half of them dead but he was also getting beat on and the last 3 'locks just ripped him apart like paper :) so i guess sometimes he wins and sometimes he doesn't.

Comment by Alaticia2012

Don't Die doing this quest as you can't run back and along with similar quests in the area as there is no through route back, this needs a definite sort out :S

A Necessary Distraction

Exarch Onaala wants you to return to the Ruins of Karabor and find a way to unleash Azaloth on his captors.

Completing quests for the Aldor will cause your Scryers reputation level to decrease.

	Azaloth Freed (1)
	Scroll of Demonic Unbanishing (1)

Description

The weapons are authentic, as we feared. Illidan is training demon hunters at the Ruins of Karabor and we must put an end to it.

Do not be fooled by their name, <name>, their power will be used against us as often as against any demon.

Their warlocks summon and subdue demons to be used as part of the initiates' training. A pit lord named Azaloth has proven too strong to be used in training and is kept banished. Find a way to let him loose on his captors. That should buy us the time we need.
