The Pit of Scales (quest)

Rescue at the Pit of Scales in Uldum.

• Tahet Freed

A spot on the southern end of the map was marked with hieroglyphs of crocodiles fighting each other.

That must be where took Akhet.

Go to the Pit of Scales and find a way to rescue the Vizier's son.

You will receive:

I thank you for what you've done,. You can count on my vote when High Council convenes.

Fly west across the mouth of the delta to reach the Pit of Scales at the other end of the delta. There, at is Tahet, in bad shape. Talk to him.

• You release Tahet from his ropes, but he immediately falls to the ground. Caimas the Pit Master appears on the ledge above you and Tahet.

• A croc named Gorebite spawns and enters the pit from the east. Once killed or tamed by a hunter:
• yell
• Two more crocs spawn behind Caimas, named Khamen and Thartep, and both rush down into the pit. Once both are dead:
• yell
• Caimas leaps down to the middle of the pit and attacks you.

Caimas is a level 83 elite with 644,000 health. This is a fight based primarily on kiting. Have him run over Croc Eggs to slow him down and deal some damage over time. Keep running him over croc eggs as the "Tiny Teeth!" debuff does not last forever... Caimas has no other moves outside of basic melee, which hits for ~4-4.5k on plate, upwards of 6k on cloth.

When he is eventually killed, Tahet wakes up: Objective complete, fly back up to the Akhenet Fields to speak with the vizier.

This concludes the vizier' portion of the fork. Complete the High Priest's and the High Commander's quest chains as well to be offered the conclusion, The High Council's Decision.

HUNTER NOTE: Gorebite is one of only two known crocolisks of that color, the other being Lockmaw, and the only one that can be tamed.
