Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom Instance Guide

           Ahn'kahet is located in Dragonblight, just west of Agmar's Hammer and Star's Rest. The "sister" instance of this one is Azjol-Nerub. Ahn'kahet is more commonly known as Old Kingdom and is abbreviated OK. It has 5 bosses in the instance one of which is only spawned on Heroic Difficulty. Ahn'kahet is known for having some of the most difficulty Instance achievements to get and also a tough final boss.

Elder Nadox: 180,795 - 431,392

Normal Strategy: This boss is rather simplistic. Kill the swarmer's he summons, you'll know he summoned them when he yells. Also when you get a raid warning on your screen, and the boss goes immune to damage, pick up an kill the Ahn'kahar Guardian. Once the Guardian dies, the boss will be able to take damage again. Rinse and repeat.

Heroic Strategy: Same as normal.

Normal Loot Table:
Blade of Nadox
Crawler-Emblem Belt
Ahn'kahar Handwraps

Heroic Loot Table:
Nerubian Shield Ring
Sprinting Shoulderpads
Brood Plague Helmet
Elder Headpiece

Prince Taldaram: 212,700 - 458,354

In order to "Activate" this boss you must clear the two platforms right off the large room (Where the two giants where walking) and right click the Nerubian object on them.

Normal Strategy: This boss has several Abilities, one being a Flame Sphere which will float around over top of you and deal damage to anyone who gets close... Similar to Kael'thas. He will also Vanish occasionally and use Embrace of the Vampyr on a party member which drains 1500hp every 2sec for 20sec or until Taldaram takes 20k damage.

Heroic Strategy: Only difference is everything does more damage, embrace of the Vampyr does 2500, every 2sec and takes 40k to break it.

Normal Loot Table:
Slasher's Amulet
Gloves of the Blood Prince
Talisman of Scourge Command

Heroic Loot Table:
Gauntlets of the Plundering Geist
Flame Sphere Bindings
Bonegrinder Breastplate
Necklace of Taldaram

Jedoga Shadowseeker: 212,700 - 431,392

Normal Strategy: At a certain percentage this boss will rise into the air and call forth a Twilight Volunteer. You MUST kill this before it reaches her or she will become more powerful. If you miss one its ok, 3 or more, and she'll start hitting so hard you won't be able to heal it.

Heroic Strategy: Same as normal.

Normal Loot Table:
Cloak of the Darkcaster
Battlechest of the Twilight Cult
Jedoga's Greatring

Heroic Loot Table:
Faceguard of the Hammer Clan
Shadowseeker's Pendant
Edge of Oblivion
Subterranean Waterfall Shroud

Herald Volazj: 265,875 - 431,392

Normal Strategy: At a certain percentage of Health the boss will cause your party to change into shades. Each shade has a relatively low amount of health, and the only ungodly annoying one will be the healer. Once a certain amount of time goes by, or you kill all of your shades, you'll be able to see your party again. Finish off any remaining shades then rinse and repeat on the boss.

Heroic Strategy: Same as normal.

Normal Loot Table:
Pyramid Embossed Belt
Volazj's Sabatons
Mantle of Echoing Bats

Heroic Loot Table:
Fiery Obelisk Handguards
Kilt of the Forgotten One
Staff of Sinister Claws
Greaves of Ancient Evil

(Heroic Only) Amanitar: 431,392

He's found in the "Zangarmarsh" portion of this instance.

Heroic Strategy: People call this boss the "Super Mario" boss. When he turns everyone small you kill a Good Mushroom, and avoid the poisonous mushrooms.

Heroic Loot Table:
Legguards of Swarming Attacks
Amanitar Skullbow
Amulet of the Spell Flinger
Silken Bridge Handwraps
