Ambassador Malcin
Level 36 elite · Outside the instance portal; his spawn spot varies
Optional
Optional outdoor quest kill for An Unholy Alliance: an elite undead caster who curses the tank and casts Shadow Bolt.
Watch for
Curse of BloodRemove curse
Curse that makes the target take more physical damage.
Shadow BoltInterrupt
Casts a bolt of Shadow damage at one target.
Group plan
Tank
Find his spawn spot outside the portal and clear any quilboar near it so he comes alone. Keep him on you; Curse of Blood raises the physical damage you take.
Healer
Heal through his Shadow Bolts on the tank. Ask a mage or druid to remove Curse of Blood, since it raises the physical damage the tank takes.
Damage
Interrupt his Shadow Bolts and burn him once the tank has him. Loot Ambassador Malcin's Head for An Unholy Alliance.
Each class

Curse of Tuten'kashRemove curse
Curse on nearby players that slows casting by 15% and slows attacks.
Gong 1First ring
A swarm of non-elite Tomb Fiends rushes in. Kill every one; the gong will not ring again while one lives, so check the halls for strays.
Gong 2Second ring
Four elite Tomb Reavers attack. Tank them together or crowd-control some and kill them one at a time.
Tuten'kashThird ring
Tuten'kash leaves his cave. Tank him facing away from the group and remove his curse and poison.
Group plan
Tank
Clear the gong room first. Gather the Tomb Fiend swarm, then hold the four Tomb Reavers. Face Tuten'kash away from the group so Web Spray roots only you.
Healer
Heal from behind him, out of the Web Spray cone. Priests cannot remove his curse or poison, so a druid, mage, paladin or shaman cleans them up.

Watch for
FireballInterrupt
Fire damage to one target, 3-sec cast.
Fire NovaStay back
Instant Fire damage to everyone near him.
Group plan
Tank
Pull some skeletons away first if you can; attacking him or the skeletons beside him starts the fight. Grab the rest with area threat, then hold Mordresh.
Healer
Wait until the tank has threat before you heal, or the skeletons run to you. Fire Nova hits everyone close to him, so top up melee after each one.
Damage

Withered TouchCure disease
Melee-range disease that deals Shadow damage and drains mana over time.

PlaguemawAfter the last wave
Plaguemaw arrives. Tank him, cure Withered Touch and Putrid Stench, and keep casters out of Putrid Stench range.
Group plan
Tank
Make sure everyone has turned in Scourge of the Downs before the start. Mark and pick up each wave as it spawns, keeping adds off Belnistrasz and the healer.
Healer
Spawns come fast, so you may not get a drink. Stand out of Putrid Stench range so you can keep casting, and cure Withered Touch on the tank.
Damage
Kill wave adds one at a time and peel any that reach Belnistrasz. When Plaguemaw arrives, burn him; casters stay out of Putrid Stench range.
Each class
Druid · your class
In Bear Form, Growl wave adds off Belnistrasz and Swipe the pack. Balance and Restoration druids stay at range so Putrid Stench cannot stop casts.
