Prevent spirits from healing at all cost, Zanzil doesn't really heal much just get rid of him when he's nearby and stay with Venoxis to dps him down.

when you get strangled at the end keep clicking on the rope ladder to escape and you will be teleported back to the quest giver to turn in the quest.

If you die at the end because you didn't click the rope in time, you will loose 10% durability and a get ported to a graveyard but the quest is will still complete.

check out the video on how to complete the event for Jeklik and Venoxis below.

Comment by Emanuel556

I didn't stop the spirits from healing Venoxis just to see what happens and the only difference was that Zanzil said he succeded instead of saying he was a failure. Other than that, the quest got completed anyway and the event with The Hexxer and the ladder was the same

Comment by Jazzygecko

This quest is completely bugged for me at the moment. Zanzil never summons Venoxis, he just runs around the room summoning Spirits of Venoxis which despawn after a few seconds. You can get Zanzil down to 1hp, then he vanishes, teleports back and starts all over again. I can't complete it because the boss is never summoned. I've dropped quest several times and still get the same thing every time. Anyone else having this issue?

The quest was bugged for me however in a different way: everything went fine, then when I clicked on the ladder nothing happened, so I died.

Edit: Typo.

Comment by Guybad

ok, it bugged on me I dropped quest and went to Chabal and pick it back up. Then I just attacked the body of venoxis the spirits spawn and the spirits started to res him......I then killed them all and was able to take the ladder when it came by...quest complete

Comment by GraysonCarlyle

"Only one word suffices to explain such a rash and foolhardy endeavor:

Heroism."

He obviously meant Bloodlust.

Comment by Annalisse

I was unable to click on the ladder in a feral form and wound up getting insta killed when Jindo finished his cast.

Comment by 362539

Is there a way to do this w/out dieing?

I released and turned in.

Comment by Ufologist

I wanted to see what happened when you clicked on the ladder so I abandoned the quest to redo it...

Clicking it just ports you to the entrance of Hardwrench. Nothing special other than that.

Comment by Necomuris

If you dont click the ladder you'll die and be insta-rezzed at a GY outside of ZG, just use the totem Chabal gave you to port back to the town.

Comment by ludekcortex

One question... How do I redo the quest after abadoning it? I can't find NPC with exclamation mark or something like that...

Comment by 493920

I was unable to click on the ladder

Note that the cursor doesn't change to a cogwheel when you mouse over the ladder, which could easily lead you to believe it wasn't clickable. I clicked the ladder anyway, and it worked. Of course, it might still bug for some other reason.

Comment by 493920

Completed the quest with no problems, but then got ported back to town and found all the NPCs gone. This is a phasing issue; to solve it, simply run a little way out of town and back in.

Comment by 609015

Vanilla was merely a setback!

Comment by Kalthar

Just did this quest and found it bugged, but in a rather funny way. I was stunned up until the second that I died, so I'm not sure if that prevented me from clicking the ladder, but it didn't seem to work at all. Digging back through the combat log, I found that that after the ladder appeared... it began to attack Jin'do! I clicked it as many times as I could before I died, but it never bothered trying to rescue me. It was too absorbed in its ladder-y bloodlust.

00:08:28> attack misses .
00:08:30> attack misses .
00:08:30> fades from .
00:08:30> dissipates from .
00:08:30> hits for 1574 Shadow.(694162 Overkill)

Rope Ladder is a "?" Unknown. :-P

Comment by Dramfiolz

I was trying to do this quest on my warlock and was not able to click the ladder, instead Jin'do would just kill me. When I tried it with my pet dismissed, it worked for me. So that may be a reason some people are unable to get on the rope ladder.

Comment by 61695

I had a problem with High Priest Venoxis not appering
when I accepted the quest and entering the room..

What seem to work if you get this problem is simply
log out and back in again:)

Comment by counsel

Ok so what's interesting about this quest is there's no obvious strategy to deal with Zanzil, the adds, and Venoxis. It doesn't really matter anyways, the quest is set up as a kind of no-win situation, so you're not required to attack Venoxis at all. Still it is possible if you have enough dps—I took a few attempts* to get Venoxis down to minimum health (1 hp), which then directly triggers the role-play segment.

*On my 33 blood elf rogue, using kick and arcane torrent; I found that you have to drive the health bar down fairly quickly for it to work or you get overwhelmed.

Comment by N0083rP00F

I was bugged in another way - there was just nothing there - ran around for a bit and when I re-entered via the gate to the area, there he was at the top of the stairs completing the ritual.
Nothing was there 10 seconds earlier.
I ran in put up a Consecration and dropped an exorcism and commenced to blast away. He ports off, sacriffice sits at 1 for a few hits and then I find myself in the smokey necklace of doom - Bad guy gives usual bad guy speach then URK instadead - ladder floating just out of reach during the speach and auto-unbreakable-stun
85 Holy Paladin - yes I lost durability >_<

Tottaly anoying conclusion - writters need a good slap and a sit in the corner.

Comment by jtbalogh

You can keep the quest and use Chabal's Fetish as another way to hearth to town. Later, you can turn in the quest after done with all the other quests in the zone since it is the last quest in the chain anyway.

Note that it is only used while in the zone, and unfortunately not a teleport from Orgrimmar for example.

Comment by Lorrain

I focused on Venoxis alone, ignoring all else even though he kept gaining health instead of loosing it. Upon Venixis gaining full health, Shade of Hexxer says: You may have slain Jeklik, but you will not leave here alive. Then I got the clue to mount the rope ladder and before he could kill me I did and was teleported to Hardwrench Hideaway, quest completed.

Comment by icemistress

having done this quest successfully numerous times including my first, in which i didnt know about the ladder and therefore let myself be blown up. Today i finally encountered a bug and am wondering if anyone else has seen it.

In short, the ladder never came. I was on my lvl 32 panda shammy. I just stood back and let the npc be healed up while dancing around. Once the shadowy guy appeared i turned into ghost wolf and was promptly stunned and the event began. The guy did his speech, started his cast i had my camera sweeping the sky around me but alas no ladder/blimp/balloon ever made an appearance. I died shortly there after and ran to the closest fp to fly back to turn in lol

High Priest Venoxis http://youtu.be/325qpa5Ulzg

Comment by JezebelJay

As previous posters have commented, just concentrate on Venoxis. After he'd regained full health though, I never saw a rope ladder or anything to click on, I was just told I had completed the quest, then promptly died. Resurrected in N. Stranglethorn, used the JuJu to get back to questgiver. Lots easier than I'd expected so it seems Blizz have made some adjustments to this one.

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by ildon

I just did this quest after patch 7.3.5. When Shade of Jindo appeared, I saw the yell text of Sassy Hardwrench, but never saw any kind of rope ladder or model to click on or anything. I don't even know what was supposed to happen. So I died. But I still got credit for completion and when I released I was alive in a graveyard in Northern Stranglethorn.

Comment by tooltip

If you don't see Zanzil and High Priest Venoxis, be patient. They'll respawn after a few minutes.

Comment by juliaz

I was not able to see them when I fly over to that area. There is a gate/door thing so I exit the area and walked from path, entering by the gate and they spawned.
