The Fall of Shan Bu (Alliance)

The Fall of Shan Bu ends the fifth and final stage of the Isle of Thunder storyline, gaining access to the Foot of Lei Shen and the world boss Nalak. Lady Jaina Proudmoore will only offer this quest from her position on the Violet Rise once enough realm-wide progress has been made, irrespective of the individual player's standing with the Kirin Tor Offensive.

Much like with the previous progression quest, A Bold Idea, this quest mostly takes place in a single-player scenario also called "The Fall of Shan Bu". As the scenario can only be completed once, it is documented here and not in a separate article.

Defeat Shan Bu

• Speak to Lady Jaina Proudmoore
• Capture the Foot of Lei Shen

Lei Shen found a clutch of rare storm dragon eggs early in his campaign. One - known as Nalak - was particularly brutal and killed all of its handlers, so he took it for his own.

Now, Shan Bu, one of Lei Shen's most loyal servants, works to resurrect the dragon.

It is time for us to strike against Shan Bu!

Speak to me when you are ready to launch the assault!

You will receive:

The time to defeat Shan Bu is now!

You've done it, ! Shan Bu is dead once and for all, and we've learned that Lor'themar may not be all that he seems.

Shan Bu is a boss-level mogu with 3,151,000 health and the following abilities: Shan Bu will also summon two Onyx Stormclaws with ~100K health to harry the champion. Additionally, Nalak will rain down an electrical storm:
