Heart of the Swarm

Fly with Taoshi on the Shado-Pan Kite.

• Ride the Shado-Pan Kite
• Scout the Heart of Fear
• Escape the Dread Wastes

We need to know what we're up against. Before we return to the Serpent's Spine, we should take the opportunity to scout the swarm.

I will fly us over the Heart of Fear. We should be able to survey Empress Shek'zara's forces from above. Then we can determine the extent to which N'Zoth has bolstered their ranks with his own.

You will receive:

• 22,300 XP

A close call. Thank you,.

You can spam the vehicle action button to instantly kill any groups of swarmlings that you're aiming at all around the kite. Finally around the area of the Writhingwood, the mantid are left behind and Taoshi parachutes you onto the Serpent's Spine.
