Death to the Broodmother

Place the Twilight Drake Skull at the feeding grounds south of the Ascendant's Circle and slay Desperiona.

• slain
• Young Twilight Drake Skull (2) (provided)

We've located the matriarch's feeding grounds south of the Ascendant Circle.

She will be extremely angry to have lost one of her drakes. Place the skull there near the carcasses she devours. If she's anywhere in the vicinity, she will come out and attempt to exact revenge.

We will have a surprise waiting for her.

It's good to see you,.

That went... better than expected.

Head southwest past the Ascendant's Circle. At near the lava lake are a few carcasses. Use the skull to both drop it on the ground and summon in Aronus, Desperiona and Aviana! While Aronus is tanking Desperiona, it is possible to melee her. Stand on the cliff above the lava immediately beneath Aronus. Desperiona has 14,038 health and Aviana's freeze lasts for a mere sixty seconds. Move quick! Aronus helps, as his melee swings hit decently hard, but that is not enough to kill her before she starts her counterattack.

This ends Aronus's quests. Pick up Cenarius' and Shadowsong's quests to keep the storyline progressing.
