After killing a few mobs around 66,43 (I killed 10 or so) Nexus-Prince Razaan spawns and after you kill him the Collection of Souls appears over his body, simply loot that and the quest is done

If you want to sell the reward don't pick the Razaani legs, they are not sellable.

Comment by Rawrthas

This was THE most annoying quest I have EVER done for me.

I had to kill about a thousand trash mobs to get the guy spawned, and then he starts patrolling around areas with a million extra adds. I said screw the adds I just went for him and didn't care if I died.

So I killed him and died and ran back to my corpse. The collection of souls was sooo close. I had to kill a few trash mobs.. I do that and by the time I kill them the collection of souls despawns.

So I just abandoned this quest and got it off my quest log as fast as possible.

Very frustrating.

Comment by uberchu

Pretty easy quest if there are people around. If someone kills Nexus-Prince Razaan anyone can loot the collection of souls.

66 lock and my god im glad this is part of the last quests at toshleys station...

Comment by murakaz

He is summoned via a portal in the middle of the southern part of the camp. Just stay in that area, kill all the enemies around it and he will spawn. If you are not in the area when he is summoned, you can still tell when by the yell he lets out.

Comment by runin

took me 4 mintues :] and he is eeeasy! no trash around either 69 shadow priest though :]

Comment by Henrik

Very easy quest, had it done in two minutes (some other player was already killing him when I arrived).

Comment by 25749

I've done this quest twice before, on my two other characters, and as stated above, he spawns frequently at 66.43. If someone else kills him, you can get the box over his dead body.

However, I can't find him. He isn't spawning. Is there a bug? I've been killing mobs around the portal for about 45 minutes, and he hasn't spawned. Just wanted to report this here to see if anyone is having the same trouble.

Comment by Jezalov

Anyone who had problems opening the box? ;(

Comment by savagy

it's been now what feels a gagillion kills T_T

Comment by 50592

Theres actually a tube behind the "circle" to gauge how many more you need to kill before he is summoned. The tube will "suck" the souls of the dead energy-men, and what looks like electricity will fill the tube from bottom to the brim, then the prince will be summoned.

Comment by Bawlss

i cant seem to find him. he isnt getting summoned no matter what i do.

Comment by 67196

In fact, if you wander in on someone fighting the prince already you can help (or not, if you're a jerk) and both of you can loot the box ... doesn't matter if you're in their party or not. Just did it that way, easiest 5 minute quest of my life.

Comment by 70588

word of warning, when you summon the prince he does patrol. try to catch him while he's still in his opening spawn area as you don't want to attract a bunch of adds, even though he's a non-elite and all, it'll make this much more difficult. not to mention, when you die, you end up having to respawn and run from a bunch of adds. The only reason i'm mentioning this is because this is what some genius i was working with did, and we ended up having to redo the quest because the Collection of Souls disappeared...great fun. Sure it was more xp, but i was pretty angry lol

Comment by Rituido

Just to elaborate a bit more on the summoning process here... The tube near the transporter in the middle of this area needs to fill up with (5-6, can't remember) yellow balls, which appear when you kill any of the Ethereals in the area.You need to kill two Ethereals to get one of the yellow balls to pop up. The large yellow blobs that hover from the corpse of the Ethereal toward the tube have some travel time: so don't get frustrated if the tube isn't filling up at a rate you're happy with.

Alliance and Horde both have a quest to summon the Nexus-Prince, so if run you into a Orc/Night Elf and you're a Human/Forsaken(depending on the situation, many combinations of inter-racial meetings could happen here, let's have fun naming them all!), you might want to consider not killing each other, because both of your kills add toward filling the tube, and in the end you both get to grab your Collection of Souls.

Comment by Soundfx4

omg, this quest is a freaking headache. BRING MORE THEN ONE PERSON! It's definitly soloable, and the guy is easy enough to kill, the problems are killing the guys fast enough to summon him, those stupid mother $%#&ing Flesh Beast, and respawns. 1 on 1 the guys a piece of cake and falls fast, but if you agro something else (it's very very very very very very very possible) then you can become screwed very easily

Comment by 17626

Just for the record, its not "just a simple loot". A box apears near his body, with a "use-symbol" on - You need to "use" it to loot collection of souls.

Comment by 48664

Make sure u start clearing from 1 part, becouse if u dont the patroling mobs Will kill u + if u ress they doo it again, and again ,,and again...enz.

Triva to "show them no mercy"

Comment by 128071

After kill Nexus-Prince Razaan (66,43) the Collection of Souls appears over his body, simply loot that and the quest is done

Comment by 18741

This quest is a refrence to Slayers Album "Show No Mercy". Second part of the chain is refrence to a Metallica song.

Comment by 143305

I did this quest with A pound of flesh or something, actually it wasn't very hard, 20 minutes, and i was done
:D

Comment by 154518

has anyone noticed that the box that the prince drops looks similar to the one from the Hellraiser films?

Comment by 128231

I'm not sure if this quest was changed recently, but it took me about 20 kills to fill the tube and summon Razaan to kill him. I always remembered it as four or five kills, never this many.

Comment by Ladno

Ethereals truly are the new murlocs.

Comment by Jerodast

This quest reminds me of that Sin City quote, "It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes that means killing a whole lot of people." Because by the time I was done with this, I had killed a whole lot of ethereals, and almost died. I basically stood at the portal and just killed anything within casting range, but it wasn't until after a round of respawns it finally filled up.

Comment by 174981

I had a horrible time with this quest. I had to kill probably one hundred mobs in all. First, I killed about 10 mobs, then died from a patrol showing up when I had 500 hp. This seemed to reset the portal summoning.

Then I went to work killing mobs agian. It took maybe 30 kills, about 20 of those were razaani. The rest were the neutral mobs that patrolled into me. I had a very hard time only fighting only one enemy at once; between the mobs randomly becoming aggressive, and the short respawn time, I was almost always fighting 2 enemies at once. So finally i got the guy to spawn, and what do you know? A patrol runs into me, a mob respawns, a critter turns aggressive, and the boss notices me right away. So of course I had to run out of the area, and by the time I fought my way back, he had despawned.

Then I died again trying to get him to respawn.

FINALLY I got him to spawn again, and a respawn behind me almost ruined it. I killed both of them though (less than 1k hp left) and looted his stuff. Then a critter turned agro and I died.

3 deaths and about an hour... not really worth 10g. I did grind quite a bit of exp though...

Comment by Zazkia

The Collection of Souls has an animation when it is about to despawn. Rather than just fade away, the box will suddenly rise in the air to about 10 feet and then zap into nothingness.

Comment by felixmdx

simply stand 66,43 close to those gates and kil mobs

Comment by 204371

watch out that box dissapears over time and if you die you could have to summon him again (happened to me twice)

Comment by 284169

Yelled at me and spawned at 66.8, 42.0

Comment by 290313

Interesting to note that there's another quest with a similar title called, "Gnomercy".

Comment by 99328

The Collection of Souls is likely a reference to the cube from Hellraiser. I was worried it would sprout fish-hooks at any moment!

Comment by 467314

This is a very easy quest but a bit time consuming. You cannot get in a hurry or be impatient. The yellow globs will eventually make it to the tube but not right away. Just keep fighting and then you will notice the tube appears to be empty. That's ok, he will spawn very quickly thereafter.

Comment by 349490

Does not disappear upon faction transfer.

Comment by Freedomage

Been here for over 2-hours and he has not shown up yet.
I'm staying inside the area surrounded by the 7-platforms and drawing them to me inside, but no luck so far.

added: Is it my immagination, or do the Nexus Stalkers damage themselves with there own Arcane Explosion?

Comment by Quilan

Note the name of the quest: gnome mercy blizz caught on to the gnome jokes...

Comment by link07

I did this at lv 66 dk night elf, it was the easyest quest ever

Comment by 789692

Killed the Prince, died from mob surrounding me. Couldn't get back to the box in time. FML. >.<

Comment by mickezi

I wish some 1 has said it in comments... but when u kill all the mobs around the portal exactly at 66,4 44,2 ull have to go stands right next to the portal for the prince to summon, took me a while to figure out so I thought ill help out others...

Comment by fordahord

Look at the screenshot. Find the place.

Kill the mobs in the area until that pinkish, glowing tube is filled to the top.

Then the Prince appears.

Kill him and loot the box that appears.

Easy kill; easy quest -- ten minutes tops.

Guys you need to kill Nexus Prince to get item ..

Comment by Resented

Collect the Collection of Souls.

Yo dawg, I heard you like collections, so we put a collection in your collection, so you can collect while you collect.

Comment by 1014074

This took me ages. I had killed heaps of the ethereals but he wasn't showing up. Then I found out that I had been in the wrong spot. There is more than one pink tube. The correct one is the one that has a gate-like thing right next to it. After I moved here it took maybe five minutes.

Showing someone gnome mercy means u eat them

Macro to show if you have completed the quest or not for those looking to get the toy.

Comment by 1486325

Might seem obvious, but it's worth mentioning. Since this is an Alliance only quest, you cannot obtain the toy on a Horde character. However, once you have it, Horde can use it.

Is this quest cross faction now?

Comment by Shadowrunner

Took me about 18 kills (with a few fiendling flesh beasts thrown in...don't know if that matters).

Comment by solitha

There is a lot of misunderstanding about this quest. It's just that it's so excruciatingly slow.

When a player kills a Razaani ethereal, its soul appears as a misty yellow orb and drifts upwards, then over to the portal apparatus. It moves at a snail's pace.

Fifteen of those souls fills the apparatus. Then the portal starts a visual power-up sequence that takes another several seconds to complete. When done, the Nexus-Prince appears. He announces himself with a yell.

It doesn't really matter who kills the ethereals, or who kills the Nexus-Prince. Once he's dead, a runed box will appear that anyone can loot for a bit: Collection of Souls. Don't forget it! It's the objective.

The Horde version of this quest is There Can Be Only One Response.

Show Them Gnome Mercy!

Collect the Collection of Souls.

	Collection of Souls (1)

Description

<The blood drains out of Toshley's face.>

These orbs are made up of both nether energy and souls, some of them gnome souls!

How dare they! Were they the ones killing our people that traveled north?!

<name>, you must put a stop to this, and the only way to do that is to finish off their leader, Nexus-Prince Razaan.

You'll have to coax him out of hiding though. I'm guessing that you can do that by killing a lot of his Razaani ethereal.

Bring me the collection of souls that he no doubt has.
