You can get the Power Source from killing the Obsidian Sentinel right at the Uldaman Backdoor(67,44)

Comment by durenas

The obsidian sentinel is a level 42 elite. He summons, at 75%, 50%, 25%, obsidian shardlings. This does 2 things, first, his damage goes down by 60 for each shard, he grows smaller, and both he and the shard have reflect magic up for as long as the shard is up. AOE down the shard, then focus dps on the sentinel. Soloing this is a royal bitch, i kid you not. At level 38 I'm still figuring out how to deal with him. I'm going to try wanding him down to the quarter marks(to conserve mana). His damage debuff stacks to 4 and persists even after you reset the encounter(by zoning out).

And yes, i'm insane. I enjoy a challenge :)

Comment by neo2k

He reflects fire and frost spells sometimes, the same goes for the adds.

Anyone been able to solo one of these yett ?

After each shrink he does remarkable less dmg, when he's a his smallest he does 1 dmg which makes your mana regen higher than the 2 mana drainer by your shield.

Only use aoe spells like CoC, Arcane Explosion, frost nova, blast wave and flamestrike.

Comment by 33102

Did this as a 39 fire mage. I firstly made him grow smaller, reducing his damage by using AoE spells and wanding, then when he summons a shardling, run out of the instance, back in, wait for the shardling to despawn, and repeat. When he's at his smallest (detect magic, he should have 4 debuffs), wand him with mana shield active and when he summons an add, simply frost nova, use aoe spells (Flamestrike in my case, AE, CoC, Blast Wave) and repeat wanding him with mana shield, and use some mana pots/jades and/or evocation if you really need to. Just takes some patience

Comment by Thottbot

As soon as you enter the back instance of Uldaman, he is behind the closed doors. The back of Uldaman is at 67,44 in Badlands.

Comment by Thottbot

I did this when I was only 42, with a 47 Shaman (who didnt purge unfort. but did heal some) and I found a way that made it easy. If I relied on the Mage's abilities to regain Mana + Used Powerful Mana Potions I probably could have done it without the Shaman (Though even for just piece of mind I recomend one.)

Things I used:
Gnomish Universal Remote (If you cant make one, find someone who can!)

First, go in and fight the Darn guy until he spits out the Mini-Me's.
I suggest using Fireshield and then Only Fire based attack spells. Once he has spit out a few Mini-Me's retreat from the instance.
Head back in and use your remote on the boss, then use him to attack the Mini-Me's He will kill them all and they will weaken him down quite a bit. Once the remote wears off, fight him again using Fire Shield + Fire attacks. Once he gets down and has Mini-Me's out (if you can't yet beat him) retreat and repeat. After 3 or 4 tries at this He is so small and weak that it actually does not take long or much effort to take him out, only time and smooth rythem. The key is doing enough damage to hurt him without doing so much that you blow your fire shield away before you can be ready to recast it. Mana Shield does help a lot here but you will burn through mana fast so if you use mana shield have potions and any other means you can for mana regen.

Comment by Thottbot

This quest is as simple as Blizzard implies, (green quest). The trick is to realise that you can't use magic. I solo'd this at lvl 45. This is how:

Apply mana shield
Use frost nova
attack MainGuy with wand
rinse repeat

When MainGuy splits - leave instance and recover health/mana. Reenter instance and use the same tactics but on NewGuy, (he will die very quickly). Now go back to plan A.

This will take a while but I didn't come close to dying.

Comment by Thottbot

yeah and they doesnt reclect aoe things. just use mana shield and wand. if add spawn just use nova and flamestrike/ae and leave instance. drink/eat and re enter until hes very small. then just use mana shield and wand :) very easy if you know how to do

Comment by Thottbot

just enter instance from behind and here it is.
dont need bandages/pots or something like this

Comment by Thottbot

Just got through reading everybody's comments above, and wish someone had summarized it all. So here's my shot at it. Did I miss anything?

The Obsidian Power Source drops from the Obsidian Sentinel inside Uldaman.

The back entrance to Uldaman is at 67,44 in the Badlands in some island of rocks next to some ravine with elite dragons. Or if you don't use Cosmos, like me, then it's about 2/3 of the way across the map and a bit north of the equator. (Or if you're OCD, it's 67/100ths of the way across from the left edge of the map and 44/100ths of the way down from the top edge.)

1. He reflects all "targeted" spells.

This means:
* Use ONLY melee, wand and AoE spells (and, duh, Frost Nova and Mana Shields)
* If you use fire attacks, make sure to use a fire ward (dunno if you need one otherwise...)

This also means you only need to bring along one friend if you choose the right class:
* A shaman or priest can remove any of those reflected magical effects if needed (and, duh, heal you...)
* A tank can melee without worrying about all that reflection crud
* If you pick someone who is at least level 45 (preferrably higher), then you probably won't wipe at all.

2. He spawns "mini-me" adds, but gets weaker each time he does it.

This means you'll have an easier time of it if you:
* Kill each new (lower level) add before returning to the boss.
* Kill the boss after he has weakened himself by spawning a handful of adds. (Didn't see a specific number, but it sounds like you should wait til he spawns at least 3 or 4...)

3. He's sitting at the back instance entrance, behind the closed doors.

This means:
* You can run out of the instance screaming like a little girl, heal up and run back in again as often as you like. ;p

I'm about to do this quest. Being the wimpy little girl that I am, I intend to take advantage of ALL this info!

Comment by Thottbot

i did the run in and out tactic eventually Obsidian become so tiny! almost too adorable to kill.
when he got to the final tiny stage a lot of the time he just did 1 damage to me; with mana shield and mana regen it's doing absolutely nothing to me at that point. then he splits and spawn something twice his size heh.

woot! yea not too hard just take awhile.

Comment by Thottbot

1) Ask a highlevel for assistance (preferably 60)
2) Go to Uldaman Back Entrance - 67,44 in Badlands.
3) Get inside the instance.
4) Kill the golem.
5) Thank the highlevel.

Comment by Thottbot

I have always run into problems with finding Uldaman groups in general. When I did find a group that wanted to do it, they never wanted to swing by the area with the obsidian sentinel so I had pretty much given up on this quest.

I am now a level 49 frost mage, and decided to try to solo it. I followed the comments on this page and mixed some of the suggestions. Here's how I did it. (you can get all of this from above - I'm just being very specific.)

1. Make sure you have your mana gem ready to go.
2. Start off by putting up mana shield. (I also used ice barrier to save mana; it worked very well for me)
3. Drink up to full mana.
4. Frost nova the sentinel.
5. Start wanding him. Continue until your shield breaks from his damage. Cast mana shield again and keep wanding.
6. Continue to frost nova whenever the cooldown is ready.
7. When he splinters and gets a guardian, leave the instance.
8. Food and drink up outside.
9. Go back in - the sentinel and his buddy will be standing in the original place.
10. Repeat the same process, but wand the buddy first.
11. Once the buddy is dead, you can leave the instance again if necesssary to heal, but I never had to.
12. Keep repeating this, and you'll eventually end up with a dead sentinel. :)

I only used one superior healing potion, and I didn't really even have to; I was just doing it to be safe. Good luck.

Comment by Thottbot

A couple of points that I don't think were very clear from everything above. But great information from everyone...

1. AoE spells will not be reflected back at you, but the EFFECTS (stuns, slows) that proc off those spells might be reflected. So if I hit him with a Flamestrike, I won't take any damage because I'm not in the AoE, but I MIGHT be stunned if I have that Talent and it procs. Same with Blizzard and slowing. That being said, I've never seen him reflect Frost Nova.

2. Reflection happens about 50% of the time, but only on aimed spells. CoC can't be reflected, however the damage from Blastwave CAN. These are just my observations, feel free to contradict me, but I have combat logs to back this up.

3. The Guardians that splinter from the Sentinel ALSO have the spell reflection property. They are level 35, non-elite, and go down pretty quickly. The Obsidian Sentinel is lvl 42 Elite.

4. Sometimes when you leave the instance and return, the Sentinel and his splinter will not have gone back, they will be right there. Make sure you go in with Mana shield up, and Frost Nova ready.

5. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
After he splinters about 4 times, and you have done the run in, run out to heal and mana up, you will now have the long fight in front of you. If you have to leave at this point of the fight, you will be resetting all the damage you have done.
With him splintered so many times, he is very small, and does very little damage.

You can stand there with mana shield up, have him hitting you constantly, and your mana regen will be greater than the damage he does to your shield. You can sit there and just regen mana if you don't want to produce a new splinter, and just refresh your mana shield every 60 seconds.

Otherwise, you want to be wanding him the whole time until he produces a new splinter. At which time, Frost Nova, back off, Flamestrike, CoC, then either Blastwave or Blizzard or wand until the splinter dies.

Then go back to mana shield and wanding the Obsidian Sentinel while your mana regens. If you need health, next time your Frost Nova is ready nova the Obsidian Sentinel, back off and bandage.

During this fight, his new splinters will NOT reduce the Obsidian Sentinels health any more. Once he gets to a certain size he just won't get any smaller or weaker.

GREAT BUFFS TO HAVE
Mighty Trolls' Blood potion, regens health.
Scroll of Spirit to increase your mana regen.
Any stamina buff, any armour buff.
Keep Ice armour up.

NOTES:
When he is splintered down as far as he will go (after about 4 splinters) he has about 8500hp.

If you have a wand that is doing on average 50 per hit (he does resist a fair number of hits), and let's say a 2.0 speed, it will take you about 6 minutes of uninterrupted wanding to take him down. However, it IS interrupted each time there is a splinter, so you have closer to 10-15 minutes of just you and the Sentinel to look forward to.

And if you run low on health and have to leave the instance, he will heal up, and you will have to do it ALL over again. Once you know he's not getting any smaller, you HAVE to stay the whole fight, dealing with the splinters as they appear.

As mages we're used to very quick, high-DPS-burst- damage kinds of fights. Break that habit quickly, it will get you killed in this fight...and it's a long run from the GY.

Oh, and the last part of the quest where you fight the mana surges is a piece of cake. Just stand on the pier and pull them one by one. They're ranged, but don't do too much damage. Just have Dampen Magic up, and if you need to, stop and drink and eat. You've got plenty of time.

Comment by Thottbot

This guy is soooo easy, either bring your higher level melee friends with you (which solves alot of problems) or attack the Obsidian with attacks like Fire Blast and Cone of Cold, or your wand if you'd so like until he breaks off a little piece...leave the instance and go right back in, he'll be back in his original position with the little chunk of him standing next to him...kill the little helper first due to the damage he can deal, then attack the obsidian again until he breaks off another piece and repeat...he eventually breaks off so much that he deals 1 damage to you every hit, just be sure not to use reflectable spells and kill the pieces of him asap. You can do this at 40 no prob, it might take 30 minutes or so and you might want a potion or 2 just encase you take more damage then you hoped. Reward is nice.

Comment by Thottbot

Having done this at level 50 due to a lack of Uldaman-interested parties, I can broadly confirm the tactics recommended by previous posters.

Initially, even though I had ten levels on him, Mr Golem does a fair amount of damage. If solo at 50 or below you'll likely need a superior healing potion for the initial fight, before he spawns any guardians. I used a few small mana potions/gems in later stages.

The advice regarding leaving the instance each time he spawns a friend is spot on. Eat and drink outside, roll yourself a new mana gem, and get back in there. I didn't stay outside longer than about 2 minutes.

When you return, I recommend chaining him and his guardian with Arcane Explosion. He doesn't reflect them, it'll only take a few to take down his guardian, and it damages him too.

As soon as he shrinks to being veery small, and the guardian he spawns is much bigger than him, then you have to stick it out. At this point he does indeed do a teensy amount of damage. AoE his guardians when they show up and keep wanding. I had about 4 more guardian spawns during this last phase before he went down.

It's an interesting quest this. /congrats to those who figured out this approach originally - well found! I'm a little vexed that it isn't soloable when yellow (or, I suspect, when green), but hum ho.

Comment by Thottbot

I am a level 36 mage and I did this quest with a level 42 Warrior and even though it was close....I don't see how people thought it was that hard.

Comment by Thottbot

Just soloed at lvl 42... wish i had done sooner, tought uit was going to be harder. this is what i did

walked in buffed and mana'ed up, cast fireball it hit, (for some reson the next couple of spells did) used wand when he started reflecting, hew spawned little dude i left instance..
came back in, killed little guy, left instance... came back did teh first section again till he spawned anotehr little guy... left instance... came back, killed litte guy, after teh third time i was able to just stayin there and was able to kill him, didnt ahve to use a single potion, or gem, and use one evocation....

Pissed i wasted over a G in potions...

overall very easy...

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone know where to get the "Horde" version of this quest. Alliance one is called Return to the Marsh, but its the only one listed on this site that opens these chain of quests.

Help?

Comment by Allakhazam

Entrance was not on 67,44...

It was 56,60 Dustwind Gulch, cave (marked on map) guarded by some elite troglodytes.

Comment by Allakhazam

I can't seem to find the 2nd entrance. Is it near the fortress?

Comment by Allakhazam

There are 2 entrances to Uldaman in The Badlands. The first is up by Loch Modan and has numerous elite dwarves mining it. This takes you into the front entrance of the instance.

There is another entrance however, farther to the east guarded by a handful of critters. Right inside that entrance is a second entrance to the instance. The sentinal is in the first room you come to, you just can't miss it.

I killed him with a 48 hunter, 45 warrior, and 42 mage(me).

Killing him leads to the quest "Mana Surges"
Mana Surges

Comment by Allakhazam

I tried to solo this guy with a 52 shaman - I succeeded, but I had to run to the zone line every other time he split into more adds. Fortunately you can do this because the Sentinel is very close to the back entrance.

1. The split-off mobs are also 42 elites.
2. The split-off mobs and the original golem both reflect ALL spells back at the caster. This includes shaman Purge, so whenever I cast that at him I lost my buffs.
3. Just pure melee this mob down. Don't waste mana nuking him or trying to strip his spell reflection buff - just beat on him or his split-offs (Thought about this later: if you're a solo mage you have to cast at him - use your fire, frost or mana shields to absorb some of the damage he reflects back on you.)
4. The obsidian sentinel (golem) gets smaller as he splits off more mobs, but he still seemed to hit pretty hard, even after several splits. I saw, and killed, at least 6 rounds of splits, because I was solo. It can be done, especially if you focus on the split-off mobs as soon as they pop up. Change targets and whale away at the split-off guy. I had to zone out after killing one or two because the aggregate damage got pretty high if there were 3 beating on you. The splits can make 1 or 2 adds - never saw a split make more than 2 adds, for a total of 3 with the original mob.
5. I think a group in the low 40's could handle this mob and the split-offs, as long as they focussed melee on the main guy, with off-tanks for the split-off mobs, who died fast even though they were elites.
6. There are other (humanoid) mobs in the back of the room where the golem is, but they don't add as long as you pull the golem out into the hallway by the zone-in.
7. The golem is not classed as a humanoid (I think its a 'mechanical'), so I don't think sheeping will work. I was doing this for a friend's level 40 mage, but I had the mage grouped but outside the instance after he zoned in once to 'set' the instance. Besides, if the golem reflected a sheep spell onto your mage, this would be bad.
8. Although my shaman's Purge spell was reflected back to him, if he kept casting it, eventually the golem's shield was removed and I could land a nuke or two. Trouble was, the first reflected Purge took off so many buffs that I quit doing it to save mana. If you're in a group and had one guy tanking and others that needed to nuke for DPS, you could assign a shaman to strip the spell reflecting buff off the golem - that shaman just wouldn't have any buffs for the whole fight. The golem recasts the spell-reflect back on himself every so often.
9. A priest should be able to remove the spell reflector from the golem, I think, using Dispel Magic, but remember, the first one or two casts will be reflected back, stripping your priest's buffs too.

Good luck with this obnoxious mob.

Comment by Allakhazam

I entered through back instance, had to kill three troggs to get to the portal.

Use your wand (and be careful to restore your mana shield/Ice Barrier) until he starts to split, then use Arcane explosion to take out the shards. It takes 3 or 4 blasts to kill a shard. Exit through the portal after killing each shard to regain mana and health until the sentinel is in his smallest form.

When he's in his smallest form you'll need to use your wand to damage him. Don't leave through the portal again, because he'll regain all of his health. When he splits into a shard either use your wand to take out the shards before returning your attention to the sentinel (at this point the shards do a lot more damage per hit than the sentinel which hardly does any). As long as you keep your mana shield up you shouldn't have any problem.

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed as a 39 Frost mage. He seems to reflect frost spells less often than fire and doesnt reflect aoe at all. Just keep aoeing and wanding until he splinters off an add and then zone out drink and eat and zone back in kill the add, get him to splinter again and so forth. Once he gets to his smallest size he will barely do any damage at all. Just mana shield and wand him down, when he spawns an add use frost nova and cone of cold followed by an arcane explosion or 2 to kill the add.

Comment by Allakhazam

I'm horde, got mine from Tabetha in Dusthollow marsh. It's Mage quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

Using a Level 58 Fire mage and i still cant kill this guy. Reflect is a major weapon which usually destroys any shields i use. I guess soloing this quest isnt the best way.
Any tips would be appreciated

Comment by Allakhazam

65.43 im a warrior lvl 48 helped my bro lvl 46 mage did it twice and got it. he died thoe both times lol but it works

Comment by Allakhazam

Solo-ed this as a 39 mage. Being an engineer, i used the universal gnomish remote, and controled the golem into the dwarves infront of him. Once he was at low health i released my control over him. (If they kill the golem you can't loot it).

After this i quickly zoned out and back in. The golem was then in its weakest or smallest form. I waited for the summoned shards to disappear so i could fight him solo. After they had died, i pulled him with frostbolt, if reflected i just zoned in and out and repeated. I got about 3 off before he reached me.

Once the golem is pulled, i mana shielded up frost nova and just shot with my wand. He will eventually spawn single shards throughout the fight which you should focus your attacks on since they die pretty easily. Also, note that the golem does not reflect AoE spells, ie. CoC flamestrike AE. I myself being frost specced used CoC.

Throughout the fight I used 1 greater mana + health pot, along with my mana jade and a few heavy silk bandages(very helpful).

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this at 43 (Frost spec) with a 42 rogue helping. She wailed on the sentinel, while I took on all the adds and just kept freezing everything in place. It did take 3 tries, but we pulled him near the zone exit so we could run out if we got too close. When we did beat him, she had 20% health left and I had full health. Using ice barrier and blizzard and stacking winter's chill took him out pretty quick. I only had spells reflected a couple times, but because they were frost spells they only slowed me down, which didn't do much since I was only blinking into the exit if necessary.

Comment by Allakhazam

I killed the Obsidian Sentinel with a group last night but the quest log does not show "Power in Uldaman" as complete. I think I'm supposed to find the power source per the quest description. Does anyone know how to finish this quest? Thanks.

Comment by Sandbucket

How to solo in WoW classic.

So every comments covers some aspect, I thought I'd specifically explain how you'll solo this at any level. Enter at the back entrance, it's in a small cave in a mountain on the mid-east side of the badlands. He's the first you'll see (once opening the door) and has no adds around him.

Basically the golem will spawn adds every 20% health (aka 4 times). When they spawn they will cause the boss to deal less damage (60 dmg less per hit) but they make him immune to targeted spells.

In order to solo him just keep resetting him at 75% because while he regains his health, he keeps the (stacking) debuff meaning he will after a few resets, do next to no damage anymore. He can't gain more than 4 debuffs but that's 240 less auto attack damage and he basically hits between 5-20 at that point.

After you've reset him 4 times and engage him all you have to do is wand him down with a shield up. ocasionally you can nova / blizzard to kill the add without any reflection shenanigans or wand that down too.

note: He doesn't seem to reflect 100% of the spells either. so you could still fire some at him, but not all will stick.

You can use Detect Magic on him to see how many stacks he currently has to make sure he's dealing less damage.m

Comment by Bagspace

Soloed as a lvl 38 frost mage, as per the vid I did frostbolts with frost ward up, this relies on you getting a lucky string of hits to get an add to pop and then taking it down or running out and coming back in and then taking it down (which is easy to do with a couple of Blizzards). I tried repeatedly to just get enough aoe hits in to get the add to break off but failed. Once you get enough adds killed (run out after each one) and he becomes tiny pop mana shield and wand him down slowly, use CoC as much as possible but it drains your mana and you may not be able to freeze him with frost nova to get off a full evocate.

The shards will carry on breaking off him during this last tiny phase which have to be killed right off. I assume if you run out at this point his health will go back to full even if he wont go back to full size, and you will have to start the last phase again. Bring health pots and bandages, I think I used 3 pots during the 8+ minutes it took to wand and CoC him down.

Comment by Wimbleton

I was thrilled by all of the brilliant comments below, to the point where I thought there might be a book deal here. But first it made some sense to just case the joint with my 42 Frostblaster just to get the lay of the land. The back entrance to the cave is where it is; I had such an exciting time there, I forgot to get the exact coords but it's approximately 67, 44. What didn't occur to me was that there might be an interesting welcoming committee. I've joked about some quests where there are so many hostiles, you need to get a reservation to get within 100 yards just to die rapidly, so I thought i'd be a little more specific.

To get to the entrance to the back of the cave, I had to kill 7 level 37 Starving Buzzards, who broke out of Frost Nova in 2 seconds, 7 level 37 stealthed Ridge Stalkers and something else that jumped in out of nowhere. I think it was a very large gopher. Then came the level 39-41 Elite Troggs guarding the back entrance and they weren't singing "Wild Thing." OK, I had brought lots of stuff with me and set about whacking them, one by one. They're not hard, but they're elites, so it takes about twice as long to kill them of course. Par for the course. I finally arrived at the entrance and started on the first Trogg right inside the entrance. We're having a great time whacking each other and I'm wondering why my Counterspell isn't working (some of them are casters) and along comes another Trogg who had been on a coffee break. OK, finish killing the first one, back up out of the entrance to the cave a bit and start on him. He was immune to Frost Nova too (did my warranty expire?), so I kept moving further out of the cave, backing up and keeping him under attack.

Then a cousin of one of the Starving Buzzards showed up, followed by some Buzzard friends, being chased (I assume) by a posse of stealthed Ridge Stalkers. Fortunately they weren't immune to Arcane Explosion, Blizzard and Flamestrike. It was an epic battle. Well, it was an extensive battle.With trash mobs. None of them dropped anything but bills. OK, back to the cave entrance. Uh, well now all 5 of the original Troggs have respawned. I looked at my watch but it had stopped.

I could just kill the Troggs again, then the troggs at the back entrance, then the ones just inside the instance door, then... all of a sudden I realized I was in Blizzard's version of The Edge of Tomorrow. I've always liked Emily Blunt but she wasn't available for this version of the film, so I teleported back to SW to have a terse conversation with my agent. This re-run will need to wait awhile.

Comment by terrabit

easy on 40+ mage.
1. go backdoor uldaman, run to entrance.
2. open door, you see your target
3. blizzard, nova, flamestrike, blizzard. shield on you
4. kill peace of Sentinel (respawn on 80% of Sentinel)
5. go out, enter
6. eat to full
7. repeat 3-6 - 4 times

Sentinel will be small, and do 1-20 damage.
1. enter, wand him and COC on CD
2. resp peace - nova, flamestrike, COC
3. wand him
4. resp peace - nova, flamestrike, COC
5. wand him and kill
6. loot.

Comment by Neverdies

I just did this as a level 39 Frost mage and had some level of issue despite the wealth of knowledge here, so my 2c:

As every other comment says, come in through the back door. It's located on the opposite side of the mountain range from Lethlor Ravine, roughly between a pillar-looking mountain and the mountain range itself. Specific co-ords are 65,43. You'll have to fight or run your way past a few level 38-ish Troggs that shouldn't be too hard. Once you've reached the back door, the real fight begins. Enter and open the door to reveal the boss in question. The first 20% are, in my opinion, by far the hardest. I managed it purely through wanding using the Icefury Wand with Cone of Cold and Frost Nova usage on cooldown. I buffed myself with Ice Armor and Arcane Intellect as well as Mana Shield whenever it dropped. I was completely dry on mana by the time I managed to get the first guardian to spawn at 80%. Once it spawns, the hardest part is over. If you're otherwise specced, your goal is to try to get him to 80% hp without dying. Make it happen however you can.

Then, simply kill the guardian and repeat the process until all 4 guardians are down. Once you've done that, the fight is literally as simple as standing there with mana shield up and wanding him. He'll spawn 4 adds, just kill them with Cone of Cold and Arcane Explosion. He deals so little damage at the end that I could evocate with Mana Shield up to make sure I had enough mana for the rest of the adds. After that, a teleport to Theramore puts you real close to the hand-in zone. Best of luck!

Edit to add: This also counts as soft confirmation that this strategy *should* still work despite the changes to dungeons Blizz implemented to combat dungeon farmers. This may change in the future however as the nerf to dungeon farming only occurred a few days ago.

Comment by topherWOW

Did this as level 40 fire mage. Living Flame works great. Do the shuck and jive back and forth on the ledge to keep the mob and mini mob off of you. Cast frost nova and then living flame. LF is enough to kill the mini mob itself.

As was stated earlier, the first 20% to spawn the first mini is the hardest. Once you get in the rhythm of hide and seek, it's pretty easy. Exiting after each mini spawns to eat/drink works great. Once you start fighting with the 4th mini, do not leave the instance or the mob and mini will reheal to 100%. At that point just stay in and wand/AOE.

Power in Uldaman

Retrieve an Obsidian Power Source and bring it to Tabetha in Dustwallow Marsh.

	Obsidian Power Source (1)

Description

Now that the demon has been removed, we must gain a power source. Unfortunately, the best power sources are usually the oldest and the hardest to get. It's neat how fate likes to take a bite out of you sometimes, isn't it?

So you're going to need to go to Uldaman and defeat the obsidian sentinel there. He's big, he's tough, and his power source packs a punch!

I wish you the best of luck, <name>. And if you don't get lucky then, well... it was nice knowing you.
