Fangs of the Devourer (quest)

Obtain the Fangs of the Devourer from Akaari Shadowgore.

• Use the Twisted Gateway
• Fangs of the Devourer

If you spare me I can use the rune of portals you provided to open a gateway to Akaari's citadel in the Twisting Nether.

Of course, killing the Legion's master assassin in her own domain will be no simple feat, but surely the Fangs of the Devourer are worth the risk, no?

<Val'zuun smiles.>

I will guide you through the citadel once you arrive, but you will have to defeat Akaari on your own.

• 1,480 XP

Any luck?

I knew you'd succeed,. I'm glad you're on our side.

Shadowgore Bloodmaidens and Shadowgore Stalkers are patrolling the citadel, while Shadowgore Darkcasters are channeling spells. Two Eyes of Xirus are patrolling the center ring. Their ability, "Sight Beyond Sight", allows them to detect stealthed characters. If they fixate their gaze upon you for long enough, they will force you out of Stealth and inevitably cause several nearby mobs to aggro to you. It is therefore best to crowd control them (e.g. Sap) or avoid them altogether.
