Giant bone dragon is spawned, similar to Sapphiron. We brought 3 dps, and he was easy. He was nova/dragon's breathable, and was easy. Could probably solo in light of this, but we brought more than was necessary in case he wasn't.

Comment by 17237

When you summon him it takes all of the doomskulls so be sure you are ready or else you will have to farm them again. Also a lot of people dont know what these skulls are, and you don't have to have the quest to get them to drop. Usually you can ask around and get 20.

I soloed this as a LvL 65 Warlock with Warlords. I am Affliction with imp HS and imp Fel Armor. I sacced the void and and dotted him up then just cast shadow bolts. I had to pot once, use a healstone that healed for something around 1700 and also Death Coil for the healing. It was a VERY close fight, but I didn't get a lot of nightfall procs so I would imagine a buffed up hunter / mage could do this.

A word of warning - there are guys around the summoning portal, if you kill them then wait too long (1 minute) and summon the dragon, they will spawn before the dragon lands and cause problems. As a warlock I just shadow warded through all their damage when they did because all they do is cast Shadow Bolts. Also Teribus goes nutso is you don't get aggro on him. I have seen him wonder from the mound and go pretty far south.

Comment by 12844

Easily duo-ed by lvl 64 mage and lvl 65 priest.

A trick for collecting skulls - each party member loots one, but they are not soulbound and are tradeable. Make sure everyone loots every single mob, you will gather summoning materials much faster.

Comment by Mittens

It might take some time for him to appear. It took atleast a minutte for him to spawn when I did this quest.

Comment by Vlad

A movie clip of the kill at the location 48,66
http://media.putfile.com/Teribus-the-Cursed-kill
Solo able (for sure)! :P

Comment by 29008

The Doom Skulls I'd say were about a 50% drop rate. I only looted them off of the Doomsayers and Death Speakers though. The initiates I never got one from.

Comment by 29008

Easily soloed a 65 Feral Druid

Heres how I did it:
All I did was start his little summoning sequence, then when he landed, switched into bear and played it from there. Switched out and healed when I needed to (one time) and also a frenzied regeneration. Ended up with about 90% hp left and 60% mana. I dont't know about other classes but a druid can easy solo this. Let me add in that this mob is snarable and stunable.

Comment by memoryjar

Yes, this quest is certainly solo-able. This is how:

Before summoning it, clear the western mound and 2 vultures that leads to the eastern entrance of Auchindoun. This is the place where there's a flight of stairs that you jump down when you wiped in any of the instances. After he summons, kite it over to the top of the stairs. When he gets close to you, jump down (away from the instances) and run toward the other side and repeat until he dies. A word of caution is to becareful of him despawning because it has done it to me about half a dozen times for not hitting him within about 6 seconds so keep hitting him.

Comment by 36838

We (64 Mage + 66 Priest) summoned him the first time, he took forever to land and by the time he did mobs started respawning - so we wiped. The second time we summoned him we had a 70 druid to tank and he kept running away. Very annoying, but he never attacked once - just kept running and getting blasted by the mage.

Comment by 49145

Soloed as 70 holy paladin. Blessing of Wisdom, Judgement of Wisdom and used Seal of Vengeance for damage. Keep yourself healed and it's no problem.

Comment by 3946

I got almost a 75% drop rate for skulls from doomsayers

Comment by 31633

done this fairly easily, with 68 lock and 65 warrior(me). Just nuke.

Comment by Uoyredrum

Easily solo'd as an epic 70 arms warrior (31/30 arena pvp spec). He got me to 51% health before he died with me using retaliation and trinket. Very easy.

Comment by 26858

Dont know when changed, but the doom skulls are no longer tradeable.... :(

Comment by eDGe87

Got the dragon to below 20% hp with another Paladin before hordes ganked us. (Including lvl 70 hordes). Second try same thing happend.. I guess the 9 year olds lack pvp skills for their own league. Gonna do this tomorrow again, but it didnt seem hard at all. Hp and mana was steady all the way untill the hordes ganked us.

Comment by 74649

Solo'd as 66 enhancement Shaman...just let the earth elemental tank it while I killed it...healed Elemental twice and myself once. Life was steady whole fight
the dragon doesn't dish out that much damage.

Comment by drooddude

the drop rate on this quest sucks end of story

Comment by adamb10

Drop rate sucks for the skulls(1-5% drop rate).

Comment by Shivacode

Duo'd with a 64 frostmage and 66 shadow priest (me). Kept dots + VE up, used shadowfiend for mana restore + extra DPS, frost mage used elemental. Used a Super Healing Pot but in retrospect probably didn't have to.

Sword vendors for a cool 8G 24s. :)

Comment by Soundfx4

Gayest quest ever, collecting the stupid skulls is the biggest part of the BS here. WTF is wrong with blizzard?

Comment by 45921

It's taking about one minut untill he spawns. Make sure that you clear the area before you spawn him. The position is right, on top of the hill.

Comment by 72822

soloed hi as 64 warlock, just dot him and send your pet on him, keep healing your pet and dont yuse other spells than your dots caus if you do it will agro too moutch and if hi tries to take you, you can kiss your ass godby

Comment by 92435

took him down easily with my 66 hunter. sent my pet in with a heal on himself, then just kept my distance poisoning him, until he was half dead, then piled on arcane shots til he dropped:)

Comment by Sutter

Solo'ed as a 65 prot pala, pulled him abit towards Auchindoun, away from the hill with respawns. Cost me some pots, put JoW on him and SoL on myself and went to town with Consecration and Holy Shield. Had to bubble to bandage about mid-fight. Towards the end I popped BoP but ofc one of those worms came and started spitting poison on me so I couldn't bandage.
Luckily I had one major health pot left and Teribus had like 2-3k hp so I just barely grinded him down with 1h-melee(was oom). Wasn't easiest fight but managable

Comment by 101435

definetely an easy solo:

69 feral (49 points so far) druid, around 17k armor, 10k hp. Started in bear with tanking gear, didn't have to heal once, not even Frenzied Regeneration. Had about 35% hp left when he hit the ground. Much easier than e.g. Terokkarantula, which is quite doable as well.

Comment by 70680

Tried to solo as a 64 shadow priest with pots. Only managed to bring him down to 40%~. Don't attempt to solo shadow priests!

Comment by 104817

Just Solo'd him as a lv 66 BM hunter, wasn't hard at all. Just keep your pet healed and shoot him dead.

Comment by 106886

Easily soloed by a 66 Beast Mastery Hunter.

Laid down an immolation trap where he lands, sent the pet and hit bestial wrath and quick shots and just went to town. Made sure to keep Mend Pet up at all times.

No pots or consumables used.

Evil Draws Near

Im a lvl 66 BM hunter

The first part of the quest where you need to collect the 20 skulls is the parts which takes the longest time.
The skulls have around 50% drop chance, so you need to kill around 40 mobs, and if you dont have anything stop healing, which i didnt have, then the healing ones takes ages to kill.

In the middle - where you need to summon him, there are 4 mobs. Kill them as the last mobs before you summon him. Due to the short respawn time its important that they are killed right before you summon him, otherwise they come during the fight - happened to me the first time.
AND YOU DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN!
If you loose the fight, the 20 skulls are gone, and he flies away again. So avoid that!

About the actual figth with him:
He hit my lvl 66(50% dmg reduction from armor) pet for around 275-300 dmg each hit, didnt do any spells just normal hit.
The nice part about him is that he is CC-able which is rare for an elite in his size. So i was able to trap him a few times so my pet could heal fully up.
Nothing hard in the fight, and seems most classes are able to solo him with a potion thought it says suggested 3 players

the rewards though are a bit shitty =/
normaly when you kill an elite this size you get rare rewards, all you get here is a silly green.

Comment by 81807

If, like me, you skipped these quests first time round - rest assured, it's soloable at 70. As an arcane mage I just slowed him and nuked away with AM.. took like 40 seconds.

Comment by 114875

Solod him as a 64 BM hunter with ravager. fairly easy the trick to fighting him is to kite him a little bit ways from the middle so the 4 guys dont spawn and ruin the fight. the trick for hunters to solo him is that mend pet probally wont keep your pet up so when its getting low run up to the boss and lay a freeze trap and bandage your pet while the dragon is frozen

Comment by 115183

Soloed as 68 shadow priest easily, had even one caster as a add (spawned in front of me) shadowfiend is my beast friend =D

Comment by Doomgrip

Teribus the Cursed has a melee attack that hits rather hard. That is why the quest to kill him suggest three players. However, he seems to be susceptible to all the various forms of crowd control measures that can be used against undead. Priest can shackle, paladins can turn undead, druids can use entangling roots or cyclone, mages can use freezing effects, other classes can stun or kite him using whatever methods they have at their disposal.

Personally I have soloed him with a warlock, a protection warrior and a mage (all level 70). I havn't tested all the abilities mentioned in the previous paragraph, but I'm pretty confident that they will all be usable against him.

Comment by 105816

Did it with a level 64 Retri Paladin (me) and a 67 Hunter.
Getting the skulls is really easy. All the guys around the circle have a ~70% droprate. They are also easy kills (warlocks and mages).

The hunters pet tanked at Teribus, and had around 50% HP at det end of the fight. Very easy. :)

Comment by 123753

Super easy to solo as a 70 Balance druid (I'm around 900 spell damage and in PVP gear- 10600 health). Can root it, send in your treants, just blast it down. Stayed in Moonkin the whole time, no need to heal. Much easier than when I tried it at 67!

Oh, make sure to clear the area first and drag it off the mound.

Comment by 125133

The dragon itself was shamefully easy on my Feral Druid (lvl 66 at the time I completed the quest). Bashable and rootable.

What that means tactic wise is that you use bash whenever you feel like it basically, then chain root him til bash is off CD. So you can heal to full, wait on mana, and wait on bash CD and pick the time you want to reengage the mob.

Only difficult part is obtaining the 20 Doom Skull, and making sure you clear the area of all mobs and pull the dragon AWAY from the mound. Very quick respawn.

Comment by 126032

Quick Note: If one skull drops off of a mob, everyone in the party will get a skull if they choose to loot it.

An easy quest, and most people will be willing to do it with you if you already have all the skulls.
Also, the Dread Relic used to summon the boss might stay in your bag after you turn in the quest, so check afterwards and get rid of it if necessary.

Comment by elrenifico

It would be wise to clear the area around him.....and as soon as you kill those 4 guys in the middle start summoning him.....you can have your mana break in his summon animation time.
Yes....easily soloable as a 64 feral drood....bear form....heal once or twice...doesn't hit hard....just make sure not to move around so much to aggro smth else.

Comment by 132362

Easily solo'd on my 68 holy pally, didn't even need to bubble

Comment by Retrouve

Tried to solo as a 64 frost mage, took about 30 mins to get the skulls, with about 20% drop rate, got him to about 30% without barely getting touched, lag spike and died, biggest waste of time ever.

Comment by 140123

Also, if you don't want to get all those skulls, you can get him off from the sky (he circles around Auchindoun) and fight him where you land (but you can only do this if you have something that def you from dieing by the fall)

Comment by Keepertje8

Make sure to doublescout for Hordes/Alliance before doing this quest. We had a hard time obtaining 20 skulls, when all of a sudden 4 7'0 rogues came out of nowhere, grabbing our dragon... Frustrating

Comment by 121748

i did this at lv70, flew up with my mount, unmounted in air, icelanced him, iceblocked to avoid dying, and then killed him easily.

so 70 mages who forgot to do this quest at 65, you don't need the 20 skulls :)

Comment by 145105

It appears that you can no longer tag him in the air. Just tried and kept getting "invalid target". Looks as though you must summon now.

Comment by 181287

Just soloed as a 67 Enhance shaman. He doesn't hit so hard that you can't heal through it, and I got him down to about 50-60% before I needed to heal at all.

Just make sure you clear out all the Doomsayers and Deathspeakers in the area before you summon.. If you pull one by accident it'll make things annoying.

Comment by arkov

Surprisingly he's not immune to snares. Made for a much easier fight than I expected as a 70 mage.

Comment by 87548

Pretty easy solo as a 69 feral druid. I had a doomsayer add mid-fight so I had to waste all my rage on swipes. I used barkskin to heal when he was at about 30% and finished him off. I ended the fight at about 25% health and 75% mana, but I could have bashed and healed again if necessary.

Comment by chinmi

soloed as a 66 feral druid. i use the summoning item, and wait for him north from the summoning area, near a big rock with no mob around it, so i don't have to worried about any patrol. when he's down on land he immidietly attack me at my location and i just constantly used mangle whenever it's cooldown is down, lacerateting so it always fully stacked 5x, and use maul whenever mangle is on cooldown.

and also always use demo roar to lower his AP and damage. i also constantly use both of my trinket a Bladefist's Breadth and Ancient Draenei War Talisman to boost my AP by 200 - 400. whenever their ready to be used i'll use them asap.

when teribus hp hits 50%, i stop using any skill that use rage, and fill my rage up to 100, when it does reach 100 i use frenzied regeneration to heal my self. when his health hits around 20 - 25%, i bash him and immidietly used barkskin - healing touch - regrowth - super healing potion to fill my hp, and quicky go back to bear form and continue hitting him.

he's down with me still at 50% hp left.

Comment by Symphonica

Soloed him on a 70 T6 geared shadowpriest with just dots and the occasional bubble. Definitely not a 3-man quest, even at 65~.

Comment by 226817

I guess this bone dragon with 29k should be soloable by any lvl65 BM hunter. I did it last night - wearing crafted Felscale armor http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?itemset=611 without the chestpiece and green quest rewards from Hellfire Peninsula. I just ate http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=27659 before fight, activated http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=25296, put Hunter´s Mark on it, send the pet in, cast http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=19574, casted http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=25295 and then just http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=34120. I somehow forgot to heal my pet :) so when the dragon was at 3k, I had to deal with him myself :)
Remember to clean the area before the fight so that you dont aggro other mobs, that could be lethal

Comment by Darxik

Soloable as 67 affliction warlock. Just summon infernal when he lands, dot him and spam shadowbolts. Use soulshatter if you need.

Comment by 189640

Soloed as a 67 BM hunter. just keep mend pet up and let pet get aggro. When getting aggro, feign. Took me about 30 seconds to kill him.

Just make sure you clear the area from Doomsayers and pray they won't spawm during/just after the fight. I didn't have much health left after the fight and got killed by a Doomsayer which spawned just after the fight :S
Had the quest done though.

Comment by 248563

Solo'd as a 66 Blood-spec Death Knight (didn't even use Dancing Rune Weapon). It's pretty simple, just keep your diseases up and Death Strike when you need to top-up.

Comment by 195804

Soloed with a 65lv BM hunter with Cat pet. My pet was at just lv3 Loyalty, Just hunter's mark him, Beastial Wrath, the stun thingy, rapid shooting and Arcane shot spam til he's dead. Remember to keep Mend Pet up all the time. If you run OOM, switch to Aspect of the Viper :)

Comment by 48128

I saw the spiral loop, i saw no boss however
So i wated 30 seconds, no boss apeared, then i wait about a minute longer before i left...

missing 1 quest for achievement :/

Edit: i mount up, who comes there? 2 minutes to late but oh well
Oh i just remember it's that mount circling around Auchidon maybe lv 70 players can attack him from mid air

Comment by 59839

Very easy lvl 63 DK(12/0/42)
Bone Shield, Rune Tap, Death Strike
Frost Presence
and my pet :)

Comment by 81432

Solo'd it on my first try as 63 DK full blood. Just remember to cut a path off the mond in to a clearing. The dragon takes his sweet time to get there but just wait. when you have aggro high tail it of the mound and then take your time with the fight. It was fun.

Comment by Ninjafarmor

It took over 3minutes for the dragon to land for me, so hang on, don't leave the place even if it doesn't come for the first minutes.

Comment by alcapowned123

"Evil Draws Near" is said by Demon Hunters is Warcraft III
Yay!

Comment by 102011

oh yeah and 1 more thing, if u are summoning the mob beware that he takes a while to appear. i summoned it then thought then it was defective so went one killing for more skulls when he suddenly appeared and i nearly died.
overall is easy kill mob.
66 BM hunter

Comment by 390212

I'm a 67 Shadow Priest and this was a close fight for me. Had to vamp embrace and just keep refreshing my DoTs, throwing mind blasts and mind flays in between. I had to disperse to regain some mana, but he died from my DoTs anyway. Vamp embrace heals kept me alive big time.

Comment by 307126

sorry for rating EVERY SINGLE POST with a negative but not one single person has given the information i need:

WHERE THE HECK IS THE WRITHING MOUND summoning circle?

don't assume everyone knows what you are talking about

to edit: The Writhing Mound is due east of auchindown, not to the northeast like the quest log says

Comment by 391807

what a terrible waste of time, summoned him twice but he was never near the ground and I could never hit him, after 5 years we still have to deal with these errors and bugs, get it together wow, im done with this game that new content patch will have so many problems...

Comment by 88677

Coming back at level 70 to a. level my pet, and b. finish the zone that I never got around to finish before, this quest sucks more than I recall it doing when actually doing it while in the zone with other toons at the appropriate level.

Not that it's hard, these guys take 3 shots to kill, but the first 18 skulls dropped in about 30 kills, the remaining 2 however took over 100 more kills... once you got the skulls however, the dragon isn't much of a fight at 70.

Comment by 384964

is it just me or is there a problem with him coming sometimes when summoned

Comment by 402720

I soloed this as a 66 affliction lock. It was pretty hard i think i had like 40 hp left. it does take a minute or two before he comes down after being summoned. but yeah i just used curse of doom and corruption mixed with drain life and used a healthstone. also used soul fire but i dont know if that did anything. overall kinda tough to solo but i did it on my first try.

Comment by 456797

This quest was a cake walk. I am a 70 DK though so that might be a big part of it. Used my minion and death and decay a lot but no problem. The only thing I was a bit puzzled by was where to turn in the quest, LOL...

Comment by Rycul

Has anyone else noticed that Terebus makes exactly the same sound as the Frostwyrm in the login screen? idk if that's the case since WotLK or it was already this way in TBC, but he does so now.

Comment by 568910

just soloed this as a 64 MM hunter. not so scary the 4th time around! the shoulders are worth it,stats are good, and look cool too! just pick up the qwest for the dread relic at sha' tari base camp from oakun. it does take some time for him to land. cool looking dragon, have fun with it!

Comment by reesaroni

He might take some time to come land so be patient

Comment by 101723

Did this quest on my DK alt. First time I tried to summon him I guess I waited like 1 min and $@$% that and lost my 20 skulls. It was after 1am on a work night so I was just fed up after farming all the skulls.

After reading here it says it takes a long time for him to show. Well, That depends it seems. He is normally circling around Auchindoun which is pretty big. Just wait till he is w/i sight then summon him. He came right down and was there in under 10secs this time. And yeah, Right before he lands he seemed to "reset" and I had to retarget again.

Comment by Fleshreaper

It took 2 minutes for the dragon to drop down for me. Stand in the middle of the purple circle. This is the bone dragon that circles over head in the bone wastes.

Comment by 283969

I was getting pissed off because I couldnt see him, and I thought I glitched but here's what happens:
He takes about 30 seconds to get there.... I tabbed out, saw on the comments, quickly tabbed back and he was almost dead... I barely got off the last attack, and luckily didnt have to do it all over again

Comment by omglolboom

as 4.0.1, nothing changed, just have to wait 1-2 min. :\

Comment by 708446

make that literally 5 minutes for him to appear as of 4.0.3

Comment by 706620

Just got him to show up and become attackable on my 3rd try:

Attempt #1- gathered skulls and used the relic. Waited for 9 minutes, then went to make and eat lunch.

Attempt #2- gathered skulls and used relic. Waited 1 minute without moving from circle, then started gathering skulls again, figuring if he showed up I'd see him and profit. This time I had seen him fly overhead at about skull #13, took another 7-8 minutes to get all 20.

Attempt #3- gathered skulls, then decided to fly clockwise around Auchindoun to make sure he was around and to try and time his path with my summon. Found him sitting on the ground about where the 'B' is in Bone Wastes, unattackable. Then he disappeared. I flew back to the spot and found him on the purple circle, unattackable. He disappeared again. I waited about 30 seconds, used relic, and he flew overhead along his path, passing over as if unconcerned. Then he disappeared and reappeared on top of me, at which point I led my felguard to victory.

POS quest. If I had gotten ganked at the end there I would have been very...put out.

The end.

Comment by Naughtypup

First, he can take a while to show up. I used the quest item with 20 skulls and nothing seemed to happen after the skulls disappeared. I tossed in a ticket and went back to farming and he seemed to randomly appear after I was back up to another 16 skulls. My guess is that he flies around the zone at his own pace and gets to you whenever he feels like it.

Second, he's a lot easier than I thought he'd be. As a fresh 64 Hunter with more than half my gear still from Vanilla, I managed to take him down without using any cool downs or potions. Cat was tanking, so I'm not sure how hard he hits and I did have to be careful to keep mend pet up at all times, but the fight was easy- even with an add.

Comment by 718694

Soled as 66 fire mage, normal quest gear. I did have to wait 5 minutes for him to actually come along, but once he did, I clicked on mirror image, and just did my normal rotation. I didn't need any health pots.

Comment by flydian

I've been standing in and around the circle for 10 minutes, gathered another 20 skulls, and have not seen a hint of this stupid dragon. So I used the next 20 skulls and waited 5 more minutes for nothing. This is one of the 5 worst quests ever in this game, and of course, is required to complete the quests achievement for the zone.

Comment by Vonriel

After gathering the skulls and using the relic today, I waited 5-10 minutes and then went to find him since he never showed up. I found him sitting in mid-air in what looked to be the animation he'd use if he were about to land, doing nothing. After a few seconds, he disappeared, and I can only assume he spawned at the circle, as I was only level 65 and my normal 150% speed flying mount couldn't get back across in time to see him until he was flying away from it. Abandoning it as I write this in favor of moving on from this zone, stupid bugged quest.

Comment by 83571

yeah...i waited patiently for him, after reading comments on here about long wait time, finally my boredom got the best of me, and i flew off, thinking maybe i'll see where he is at.

So i find him flying around, and suddenly get the bright idea that hey he's killable anywhere, as long as i can aggro him from the sky right? so i get a good shot lined up, dismout mid-air, fire...and fall to my death...3 times (trying to land on rocks to break my fall and trying to land on nearby stuff to get in range..he doesnt fly close enough)

irritated that i couldnt do that, i went and got my parachute cloak, stalked him, did a few test runs, finally lined up my range, dismounted mid air, popped a cap in his dragon behind, hit parachute cloak...floated down and slayed him...win

so i guess sometimes it just takes some engineering and fresh ideas to win the day, and yea i guess i could have farmed more skulls, but was tired of waiting, and this was way cooler strategy

Mirri - 85 Hunter

Comment by forbjok

Easily soloed as 68 feral cat druid.

More a test of patience than skills, as it took him at least 15 minutes to show up after I summoned him.
Long enough for most of the mobs in the area to be killed and respawn several times, and for me to almost collect a full new set of skulls.

So, if he doesn't show up at first, don't worry - the quest is just badly designed - hang around long enough and he will eventually show up. (probably while you are in the middle of fighting something else)

Comment by Kianna

It took 12 minutes for him to spawn for me.

Comment by 786097

Solo'd as 66 Feral druid, very easy, used rejuv and barkskin once. It took longer to gather the skulls needed to summon Teribus.

Comment by MastuuhChief

Don't be afraid of the 29k health dragon. i killed him with my lvl 67 hunter no problem in like 40 seconds maybe. its not a big deal. make sure u look up cuz he just pounces on u randomly. i didnt expect it. very easy no big deal

Comment by badmoons73

I did this as a 63 lvl prot pally. this was my first time doing this quest and it was wham bam thank you mam easy!

Comment by 419121

Teribus now hovers over the eastern edge of Auchindoun so no more long waits while he flies round to you.

Comment by 633509

Soloed as a 63 BM hunter.My pet lost almost 1/4 of its health and never lost aggro.I had cleared the area from the mobs,but i didn't have any problem with 1-2 mobs that spawned during the fight.Pretty easy:-)

You can get the skulls in a number of places around Auchindoun but I recommend going to the Writhing Mound (49,67) which is where the summoning circle is anyway. If you can one-shot the Doomsayers and Death-Speakers there are enough of them here and the respawn is just fast enough that you can farm your 20 with no downtime.

I started to count up the number of times someone posted "soloed him..." without putting any real added information. Finally lost count and gave up counting. Ladies and germs, please don't bother posting that you did a solo on an NPC if that's all you're going to say. If you really must do so, try to give at least one piece of information that nobody else has posted!

I came here looking for information - not to read a couple of dozen "soloed him" comments with zero information!

I can't seem to be able to summon Teribus in the circle, on the mound with the 20 skulls. Skulls do not disappear when I right-click them and nothing moves. Perhaps I just do not know how to summon him ?

Evil Draws Near

Oakun wants you to take the Dread Relic to the Writhing Mound. Once there, kill Auchenai Death-Speakers and Auchenai Doomsayers to collect 20 Doom Skulls. Then find the Writhing Mound Summoning Circle and use the Dread Relic to summon and destroy Teribus the Cursed. Return to Oakun when the deed is done.

	Teribus the Cursed slain (1)
	Dread Relic (Provided) (1)
	Doom Skull (20)

Description

Now you must use the Dread Relic in a foul necromantic ritual if you wish to challenge Teribus the Cursed. To the northeast, beyond Auchindoun, is the Writhing Mound, a place where necromancers gather.

The auchenai death-speakers and doomsayers carry doom skulls that are laced with powerful necro-enchantments. If you collect enough skulls you can use their power along with the power of the Dread Relic to command Teribus to face you.
