Champion of the Naaru Guide

Adrenis, Champion of the Naaru

That has a pretty nice ring, doesn’t it? :) The CotN title is awarded to people who have completed the (now-unnecessary) attunement quests for Serpentshrine Cavern and The Eye. Both of those raids are Tier 5 raid dungeons, so they are the next step after Karazhan, Magtheridon and Gruul’s Lair. I’ve mentioned before that I am working towards this title on my warlock (roughly about 75% done), and I plan to present getting this title as a challenge to my Alliance guild as well, as we are currently preparing to do 25-mans.

Achieving the title requires the completion of several somewhat lengthy quest lines. At a glance, the quest lines include several quests in Shadowmoon Valley (both solo and group), several Heroic dungeons - Slave Pens, Arcatraz, Shattered Halls, Shadow Labs, and Steamvault - as well as kills of Nightbane, Gruul, and Magtheridon. I’ve broken the quest lines into the different legs below, showing where each leg starts and what quests are required. I’ll also comment as needed, giving hints and advice on the quests.

It should also be noted at the CotN title will most likely not be available after WotLK is released, so if you want to get it, make sure to do so while you have the chance. Furthermore, the majority of the group/raid quests are PUG-able on most servers, so even if you aren’t in a raiding guild you could probably still obtain the title.

Shadowmoon Valley - Killing Elementals

Quest leg starts with: The Hand of Gul’dan (Alliance, Horde)

Quest giver: Alliance, Horde

The first leg starts in Shadowmoon Valley. One of the druids near the Hand of Gul’dan asks you to kill several elementals around the zone. When you’ve completed those three quests, he sends you to find Oronok Torn-heart, in the north part of SMV. When you get to Oronok, he sends you to do a couple of quests, including I Was A Lot Of Things…, which may be the most fun you ever have in the World of Warcraft (and I’ll let you decide if I’m being sarcastic or not there =D ).

Once you have completed the two quests for Oronok, he asks you to find his three sons, who were each trying to recover a fragment of the Cipher of Damnation. At this point, the quest line splits into three separate chains as you go searching for the three sons. These chains can be done in any order, but I’ll list them in the order the game refers to them. Also, everything up to this point is completely soloable. A group would probably speed things up in places, but it’s definitely not required.

The First Son, Grom’tor (NPC Location)

Quest Line starts with: Grom’tor, Son of Oronok

Quest giver: Oronok Torn-heart

The first son’s quest chain is short and fairly easy. It can also be completed solo without any trouble. When you find Grom’tor, he sends you to Coilskar Point to find the Fragment in a chest, which you open with a key from the naga in the area. When you have the Fragment, return to Grom’tor and he will pack it up for you to take back to Oronok. If you want to minimize travel time, just hold onto the lockbox he gave you while you do the other two sons’ quest lines, and take all three back to Oronok at the same time.

The Second Son, Artor (NPC Location)

Quest Line starts with: Artor, Son of Oronok

Quest giver: Oronok Torn-heart

Continues with: Lohn’goron, Bow of the Torn-heart

Quest giver: Spirit of Artor

The second son is found in Illidari Point in southern SMV. He has been killed by the demons and your first quest is to free his body from their enslavement. Once you’ve done that, his spirit spawns and asks you to find his bow by killing some of the demons around the Point. He then gives you a spirit companion to summons a special demon called Veneratus the Many, who drops the Fragment when he is killed.

Once again, Ar’tor will give you the Fragment to take back to Oronok, but you can hold on to it until you’ve completed all three sons’ quests. This quest line is also soloable, but it should be noted that having a flying mount will help tremendously with getting in and out of Illidari Point.

The Third Son, Borak (NPC Location)

Quest line starts with: Borak, Son of Oronok

Quest giver: Oronok Torn-heart

The longest and most difficult quest line of the three sons, Borak’s leg involves completing a couple of quests in SMV, heading to Shattrath briefly, and then coming back to SMV for more quests. The first quests in the chain can be soloed, but the last quest requires a group, as you are to kill Ruul the Darkener, a 71 elite. If you have already completed the quests for the other two sons, then keep your group together because the next step in the main quest line also requires a group.

The Firelord

Quest line starts with: The Cipher of Damnation

Quest giver: Quest giver: Oronok Torn-heart

Once you have completed all three sons’ quest lines, head back to Oronok with the three Fragments. He will bind them together and give you the restored Cipher of Damnation. Head to Gul’dan’s altar, where you got the first few quests to kill elementals, and use the Cipher to summon Cyrukh the Firelord. He is a 72 elite, and a fairly tough kill, but you should have no trouble with a full group of 5. Once you’ve killed him, turn the quest in to the Druid at the altar.

At this point feel free to pat yourself on the back (or get a friend to do it). You’ve completed roughly half of the requirements for the CotN title. As soon as you complete the last quest involving Cyrukh, you’ll get a letter in the mail from Khadgar, asking you to come to see him in Shattrath. I’ll cover the remainder of the quests in the next part of my guide.

  1. It actually *will* be available after the expansion, but not to anyone above level 70. That’s the statement Eyonix made about it.

    I’ve only got to down Mag, and with a little luck, that happens tonight.

    Good luck with yours as well, in case you haven’t already achieved it.
