Revelosh

Revelosh is a trogg caster of the Stonevault tribe and one of the first bosses in Uldaman. He is a short fight, but he matters more than his loot suggests: he carries the Shaft of Tsol, one of the two pieces of the staff that opens Ironaya's sealed chamber, so any group that wants the lower half of the dungeon has to kill him.

Background

The troggs were failed creations of the Titans, creatures of earth that the titans' servants sealed away in stasis inside Uldaman. When dwarves of the Explorers' League dug into the vault, the troggs woke up, killed most of the diggers and spread through the halls. The Stonevault tribe now holds much of the dungeon, and it hoards the titan relics it finds there.

Revelosh is one of the tribe's few spellcasters. The game's Adventure Guide, written long after Classic, describes him as something like a trogg archaeologist: some scholars in Ironforge's Explorers' League think troggs and dwarves are distantly related, and point to the way troggs collect titan artifacts as proof. Anyone who meets Revelosh, the guide adds, is more likely to call him a thief.

His most important possession is the Shaft of Tsol, the body of an ancient staff. Its head, the [Gni'kiv Medallion], lies in a chest at the camp of the Lost Dwarves (Baelog, Eric "The Swift" and Olaf). Joined together they form the [Staff of Prehistoria].

Abilities

Revelosh fights like a trogg shaman, mostly with lightning:

• Lightning Bolt: a single bolt at his current target.
• Chain Lightning: a bolt that jumps to two more nearby players, so it hits harder the more tightly the group stands.

Both spells can be interrupted.

Strategy

Revelosh has only about 3,700 health and no special mechanics. The main advice is to interrupt his casts (warriors' Pummel or Shield Bash, rogues' Kick, shamans' Earth Shock) and to spread out a little so Chain Lightning doesn't jump through the whole party. Clear the troggs near him first so the fight doesn't pull extra packs.

After he dies, someone must loot the Shaft of Tsol. It drops every time, and the group needs it, together with the medallion from the Lost Dwarves' chest, to make the Staff of Prehistoria. The staff is then used in the Map Chamber to open the way to Ironaya.

Loot

From our database (patch 1.12):

His four uncommon armor pieces cover each armor type: plate boots, mail armguards, leather spaulders and cloth gloves. Each one rolls a random enchantment, such as "of the Bear" or "of the Owl", so their stats differ from drop to drop.

Later history

The Shaft of Tsol left his loot in Cataclysm, and patch 4.1.0 removed the need for the Staff of Prehistoria altogether. Patch 7.3.0 gave him a new model.
