As World of Warcraft Classic celebrates its 20th Anniversary, players have the opportunity to relive iconic quests that helped shape Azeroth's history. One such quest is Destroy the Kolkar Leaders, an essential mission in The Barrens that pits players against the notorious Kolkar centaurs. With tensions rising and new chieftains emerging, the Horde must act swiftly to eliminate these threats and secure their holdings.

In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about completing this quest efficiently, including where to start, how to defeat Barak Kodosbane.

Quest Background and Overview

For years, the Kolkar centaurs have been a thorn in the side of the Horde. These savage nomads have harassed the tauren and disrupted trade routes in The Barrens. Previously unorganized, the Kolkar now pose a greater threat under the leadership of Barak Kodosbane. To prevent further incursions, the Horde has tasked adventurers with a critical mission—eliminate Kodosbane and weaken the Kolkar forces.

This quest is a must-do for Horde players early in the game, offering valuable rewards and experience.

Where to Find Barak Kodosbane

Barak Kodosbane is located north of The Crossroads near the Oblivion Pools. This area is filled with Kolkar centaurs, so be prepared for multiple engagements. Since Barak is an elite-level enemy, bringing a friend or grouping up with other players in the area can make the fight easier.

Best Route to Barak Kodosbane's Camp

Start at The Crossroads in The Barrens.

Travel northwest toward the Oblivion Pools.

Fight through Kolkar enemies as you make your way to Barak's location.

Locate Barak Kodosbane, usually found patrolling near his tent.

How to Defeat Barak Kodosbane

Barak Kodosbane is a formidable opponent, often flanked by Kolkar centaurs. Engaging him recklessly could lead to being overwhelmed by multiple enemies. Here's how to take him down effectively:

Strategy for Different Classes:

Warriors & Rogues: Use stuns and interrupts to prevent his special attacks. Focus on eliminating his guards before engaging him directly.

Hunters & Mages: Use ranged attacks to kite him, making use of freezing traps or slowing spells.

Shamans & Druids: Ensure you have healing potions ready. Using Earthbind Totem or Entangling Roots can help control the battle.

Priests & Warlocks: Utilize DoTs (Damage over Time spells) and fear abilities to minimize incoming damage.

After defeating Barak, loot his head and prepare for the journey back to Regthar Deadbearer.

Returning to Regthar Deadbearer

Once you have Barak Kodosbane's head, return to Regthar Deadbearer, located west of The Crossroads. Turning in the quest rewards you with experience, reputation, and a small amount of silver.

Though the monetary reward may seem modest, every bit counts when working toward accumulating WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold. Efficiently completing quests like this allows you to save money for gear, mounts, and trade materials.
