Wushoolay is a troll ghost, previously seen/spawned at the Edge of Madness event in the old . He has various items named after him ( like these ) as well. Here's his old NPC page with his drops and strats for his old encounter: Wushoolay.

Comment by Eldente

Got him today. Nothing special, stay out of the lightning clouds - they look like Hurricanes, and run away when he casts .

Worth noting, that any Edge of Madness boss seems to only be able to be summoned by a full-skill Archaeologist.

Comment by Dreadmight

This is one of the possible four bosses in the Cache of Madness event in Zul'Gurub. The bosses in the event can only be summoned if you have an archaeologist in your group with a minimum of 425 skill. You activate the event by having the archaeologist examine the artifacts scattered throughout the room and locating four 'false' artifacts. When found, the artifact will begin to float in a circle around the room. The boss will become active shortly after the final artifact is found.

Wushoolay has several abilities to be aware of. He will cast Hurricane at random players that must move out of. He will also randomly target a player and charge them after a brief cast time- players must move out of the targeted area. He will also cast Lightning Rod- this will kill any player near him, all players (including tank) must move away.

Incorrect. I was able to do this at 348 archeology.

Comment by Vonara

Actually, according to the text, the four artifacts are true artifacts, while the others are a combination of worthless, damaged, or badly aged.

Comment by Liukus

The Archaeology skill required to summon the boss is only 225. Confirmed by being 224 and not being able to, solved an artifact and was 229 and able to. Blizzard likes to use increments of no less than 5 for their requirements. Enjoy getting the 225 archaeology to get some easy loot.

lightning rod =RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

Comment by Kathucka

This guys' wipe move is a charge that kills anyone near his destination. He locks on to a position where a player is standing, and charges to that spot a couple seconds later. You have to run away before he gets there.

The easiest way is just to stay at long range and move continuously in a circle around him. You'll be out of the danger zone before you see that he's lining up a charge.

I never noticed him charging at melee, but they would be well-advised to run away from his abilities as well.

Comment by 499913

I noticed something about the artifacts, I think the one you activate first causes the boss that is being summoned.

Genjuros, troll shaman. Needs his kilt.
Got as only one enough archa so no one disrupted the summoning.
My summonning went like this: Dwarf, Fossil, Nelf, Troll.
I did this on three seperate runs, and always this exact boss spawned. So, if you need loot of this boss, feel free to try.

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: As of 14 may this works for the troll rogue.

Comment by eclavdra

I wish my shaman had his abilities :(

Comment by 798034

easy fight run from his attacks and you'll be ok. he yells about some storm stuff but i jus kept running away and we killed him.

Comment by rowey88

im around my 30th run and he still hasn't spawned :(

Comment by ladyofthemasque

Some have speculated that which artifact you start with affects the boss you get. I started with troll, nelf, fossil, dwarf, and got Wushoolay, this guy here. Will be testing others, since I'm after a drop from Renataki.

Comment by Hinahina

When summoned it begins to rain in ZG.

Comment by KeithKorg

As an elemental shaman farming the Purple Amani Mail Set, getting to the archaeology event is relatively simple. Here are the problem pulls at lower ilvl (under 480):

Tiki Lord Mu'Loa hits quite hard. I am not sure if he is skippable by going through the water. I recommend taking Ancestral Guidance as your level 75 talent. Burn the mob down until your health gets to about 30%, pop AG and finish burning him down.

Witch Doctor Qu'in and her trash pack is skippable - just hug the wall to the right when turning the corner towards the archaeology event.

Pack of Ritual Tiki Masks right before the event. Take Conductivity as your level 75 talent and spam Chain Lightning while standing in a Healing Rain.

Above ilvl 480 all of this becomes trivial, but you should still watch your health with the Ritual Tiki Masks and throw out a heal or defensive cooldown if you get low.

Wushulay himself is easy - burn him down with your Earth Elemental Totem up and you shouldn't have a problem.

Also note that after the event is complete and the boss spawns, leaving the instance will not reset the event.

Comment by mootrone

So can anyone confirm a sequence to summon Wushu or is it really random?

Comment by Chrysaetos

Summoned him today (5.4.7) with 225 Archaelogy, order used was Troll -> Night Elf -> Fossil -> Dwarf.

I'll do him again tomorrow and check if the order consistently summons him as well.

Comment by mootrone

4/14 troll elf fossil dwarf - Renataki -- 4/15 troll elf dwarf fossil - Renataki
4/16 fossil troll elf dwarf - Renataki -- 4/17 elf dwarf fossil troll - Hazza'Rah
4/18 elf fossil troll dwarf - Gri'Lek -- 4/19 dwarf fossil troll elf - Hazza'Rah
4/20 dwarf elf troll fossil - Hazza'Rah -- 4/21 elf fossil dwarf troll - Hazza'Rah
4/22 dwarf fossil elf troll - Hazza'Rah
4/23 *2nd* troll elf fossil dwarf - waited for each one to start - Gri'Lek
4/24 *3rd* troll elf fossil dwarf - Hazza'Rah -- 4/25 - *4th* troll elf fossil dwarf - Renataki
4/26 - troll fossil dwarf elf - Wushoolay -- 4/27 *2nd of previous combo* - troll fossil dwarf elf - Wushoolay

So perhaps it doesn't matter what combination you use, the boss that spawns is random?

Comment by Jalaji

Was trying to get Wushoolay today for a transmog chest and I made a discovery. If after you do the archaeology event the boss you want doesn't spawn, DO NOT kill him anyway. Zone out, and wait 30 minutes. When you zone back in the trash will have respawned, and when you go back to the cache of madness area there will be a new random cache boss there.

I repeated this 3 times today until I got Wushoolay. Still kind of a pain to have to wait 30 minutes each time, but it definitely beats only getting one shot at the right boss each day. Note that you don't have to click the artifacts again, the new boss will already be summoned. Also remember that it's possible and not entirely unlikely that you'll sometimes get the same boss multiple times in a row.

Hope this helps!

Comment by PunterHunter

as long as you kill no bosses or mobs you can reset the instance once to reset what spawns but after the 2nd summon you'll be locked to which ever is summoned

Comment by Shubi

Back into 1.12.1 patch, this boss was dropping one of the most unique looking bows in the game: Hoodoo Hunting Bow.
This boss was one of the rotating bosses in the Edge of Madness. In order to spawn him, the group was need a Gurubashi Mojo Madness... The bosses was rotated every two weeks..Eh.. MEMORIES! :)

Comment by Taoma

The Archaeology boss Edge of Madness Hazza'rah is currently bugged and the door does not open after you kill it, leaving you trapped inside. Do it as your last boss and hearthstone out when you are finished with the dungeon.

Comment by Apolyptica

From the Patch Notes of March 27th 2023 : The Archaeology skill requirement for the Cache of Madness event has been reduced to 1 (was 225).
