The Avatar of Hakkar
The Avatar of Hakkar is the mortal presence of the god Hakkar. Its spirit still haunts the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, waiting for the right time to regain its power.
Legend state that there is an egg that is the only item that can contain the essence of Hakkar and prevent him from rising again. The stories say that the location of the egg is somewhere near the Hinterlands.
The Avatar of Hakkar is one of the final bosses in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar. You must summon him to complete the quest The God Hakkar.
Strategy
Taking down the Avatar of Hakkar is deceptively easy, although the event looks complicated. Someone with the egg must start the event; then the entire group should huddle up in the corner by one of the flames.
There will be an elite serpent that spawns between each flame you put out; killing that serpent will drop a Blood of Hakkar for someone to loot. Meanwhile non-elite snakes will also spawn and meander around the central circle where Hakkar is waiting to be freed. They will not attack unless aggroed, or the elite serpent is near them when pulled. It's critical to stay in the corners, so you only have to fight the elite mobs, and the occasional snake that aggros with it. As you put out each flame, run along the walls to the next flame. Periodically an elite dragonkin will path in, and begin casting something on Hakkar. Pull them over to the group just like the serpents, though nothing will assist them.
Your group can take their time like this, putting out each flame and resting/drinking as needed. Once there is only one flame left to put out and you have the blood, then kill any remaining elites and spawn Hakkar. The snakes beneath him will aggro, but a quick burst of any form of Area Effect damage should quickly kill them. Then all that's left to do is kill Hakkar, who actually looks much deadlier than he is. He will mind control someone in the group periodically, but the duration is short, and he really doesn't have much health. Once he dies, those with the quest can collect his essence!
