WoW SoD | How to beat Illari Duskfeather

Illari Duskfeather plays a significant role as an NPC introduced during phase two of WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery. She serves as the final objective of the No Honor Among Thieves quest, which concludes a quest chain crucial for obtaining multiple phase two SoD runes.

The culmination of this quest chain leads to a showdown against Illari, a battle for which you should ideally be at least level 35 to face comfortably, even with a couple of allies. If you undertake the questline promptly at level 30, assembling a capable group of five players is essential. Expect a gathering of solo players in the southeastern corner of the Arathi Highlands, eager to challenge Illari.

It’s advisable to prioritize staying alive and maintaining full HP during the encounter with Illari, especially if you’re below her level. Be prepared to sacrifice DPS for healing or use potions as needed. At level 40, her attacks pack a considerable punch, and with multiple players involved, the battle may be prolonged. Focus on keeping your health topped up throughout the encounter.

Upon defeating Illari, she’ll drop a pouch containing a key. This key can be used to unlock a nearby chest housing the desired WoW rune. However, Night Elf characters receive special treatment from Illari, who grants them access to the chest key without combat. Other races must defeat her and claim the key through force.
