In a sunken night elf temple, the Twilight's Hammer and the naga serve the Old God beast Aku'mai.

Entrance Sunken temple on the Zoram Strand, Ashenvale (16.5, 11.0)

A sunken night elf temple. After Twilight Lord Kelris you must deal with the braziers around the central statue to open the door to Aku'mai.

Before you go

  • There are underwater stretches, so bring water breathing and watch the breath bar.
  • Old Serra'kis is fought in the water; surface for air and dive back in if you need to.
  • Aku'mai leaves poison clouds and frenzies at low health. Dispel poison and step out of the clouds.
  • Lorgus Jett has no fixed spot and spawns in one of several places.
