I took ur advice but still wanted to be on the safe side so i got together a group of 4 (no healer) and ventured into hive regal.
Your right, we had no real problems until we got to the night elf priestess. in anwer to you question she's in the tunnel in the South West area of the hive, but shes a long way down. The tunnel shes in is the biggest one there.
I dont know what the other guy was taliking about when he said the preistess can be pulled cos she attackes via magic and will fear you right into other mobs.
She is a 62 elite and is very hard to conquer. Her damage is huge and she heals herself. Dont get your hopes up if your looking forward to doing this with 2 cos with 4 of us we killed her with all of us on low heath and and 1 death at the end of the battle.
You NEED to clear the room cos as said B4 she will fear u right into other mobs. Id say a Solid Party of 4 (like ours) will be able to do it but if u want to do it comfortably I would reccommend 5.
I hope this clears up yours and every1 elses queries about Hive Regal.

I recall Nathalie to sit in a circular cave room: approx 53,100 (bottom of map)
She's in the middle of the room together with the Hive'regal rubbing. Remember to get Glyph Chasing so that you can get rubbing at same time.
Room is populated with some elites that can be pulled sep. There are also 2(?) swarms with non elites at her back. Dunno if they add if you try to kill her. She's easily sap'ed and you can get rubbing without pulling any of the elites/swarms
Edit: Did her yesterday. No swarms but 2 of the elite wasps seemed to be linked. Watch out for Slavemakers Mind Control. As a rogue I used lots of DoT's, hemo and a fair share of stunning. Nathalie spams fear/MC too.
NB! In a comment for the quest "The calling"/Emissary Roman'khan somebody wrongly claims this quest is a part of that chain.

Warning, if you die in the regal hive trying to do this quest, you will likely be sent to the Sentinel Hill Grave Yard. Happened to me 3 times, and my partner 2 times.
According to a GM it's a known problem they are working on.
If you don't die, no problem. If you do, it's gonna take you a while to get back.
Just in case it's server specific, I was on Alleria.

Be careful when getting to her because the tunnel is filled with bugs.
Flying Bugs
+Melee attacks
+Nature dammage spells
Cloaked Walking Bugs
+Melee attacks
+DOT poison (nature dammage) that deals a lot of dammage in a little amount of time
Uncloaked Walking Bugs:
+Melee attacks
+2 minute poison that inflicts nature dammage every 5 seconds to all nearby party members (including infected one)
+'Poisoned Mind' ability makes a party member attack their teammates for 15 sec (bug continues to attack other teammates during this time)
It's nice to have a skinner there to make some gold. (Need 305+ skinning because these are level 61 elites to be skinned, though 300 is fine for the half that are only level 60 elites.) When your skinning produces a grey item, keep it and sell a stack of 20 to vendor for 1G.
Once you reach her in the circular chamber at the end, clear the room before fighting. Watch out for bugs' knockback abilities. You have to go fast or they will respawn; a 2-person group was enough to clear it in time. Natalia uses 90% of her mana to heal herself later in the fight (she casts several short heals that combined bring her back to full health). Since she only heals when she is low on health it is easy to silence / stun / fear her at the end. Even if she gets one of her heals off you'll be fine as long as you don't allow her to get off the 4 or 5 that she requires to reach full health again.
Natalia
+Melee attacks
+Power Word: Pain

*Note that in 2 runs to kill Natalia, the Charmed Mind ability was used twice on a 3-member party but never used on the 2-member party. Also during 2 trips all the way in and out of the hive, the Poisoned Mind ability was only used once on the 3-member party.

Here is a complete walkthrough I just created for my guild detailing the entire quest chain with pictures. Enjoy...
The quest line starts at Cenarion Hold in Silithus:
Talk to Commander Mar'alith and he will give you a quest called “Dearest Natalia”.
Then head south to the Bronzebeard Encampment:
Speak with the 2 dwarves there- Frankal Stonebridge and Rutgar Glyphshaper (also make sure you pet the monkey):
They will tell you a big story about how this lady went crazy, which completes the “Dearest Natalia” quest and unlocks 2 other mini-quests which you must also complete.
The names of these quests are “Breaking the Code” which will be given to you by Frankal and “Glyph Chasing” which will be given to you by Rutgar. *Note: Rutgar also hands you a ‘Geologist's Transcription Kit’ which is needed to complete his quest, so if you accidentally delete it just abandon the quest and talk to him again to get a new one.
Now before you start these quests, return to Commander Mar'alith in Cenarion Hold and turn in the “Dearest Natalia” quest. He will give you a new quest called “Into the Maw of Madness”, which you will complete while doing the other 2.
Basically these quests are going to take you into the 3 hives of Silithus (Hive'Ashi, Hive'Zora and Hive'Regal):
It doesn’t matter which ones you do first, however I recommend a party of 5 to move through it quickly (although you can still do it fairly easy with 2-3 skilled people).
SUMMARY OF "GLYPH CHASING": In the middle of each hive that is a cave that you need to enter and explore until you find the final room. In this room there will be a small white crystal that you use the ‘Geologist's Transcription Kit’ on to obtain the rubbing. This quest is completed once you obtain a rubbing from each Hive.
SUMMARY OF "BREAKING THE CODE": Make sure you check the bodies of each bug you kill on the way to (and from) the final room of each hive. You are looking for a white quest item named “xxx Silithid Brain” (xxx being the name of the hive). It is a random drop so if you haven’t gotten it by the time you finished coming out of the cave then make sure you continue killing bugs until it drops. This quest is completed once you obtain a Silithid Brain from each Hive.
SUMMARY OF "INTO THE MAW OF MADNESS": Inside the final room Hive'Regal you will find a Night Elf priest named Natalia Mar'alithnamed. This quest is completed once you kill her and loot the item from her body. (Don’t forget to obtain the rubbing from the crystal in that room).
Once you complete all 3 quests return to Commander Mar'alith in Cenarion Hold and turn in “Into the Maw of Madness”. Then return to the dwarves in Bronzebeard Encampment and turn in “Breaking the Code” to Frankal and “Glyph Chasing” to Rutgar.
At this point Rutgar will give you another quest named ” Unraveling the Mystery”. This quest is simple, just take the ‘Glyphed Crystal Prism’ that he gives you to Geologist Larksbane in Cenarion Hold:
She will then give you the final quest named “The Calling”!
At this point you will need a group of 25-40 people to kill the Emissary Roman’khan. If your guild is already raiding AQ-40 then it's prolly easiest to just wait until the next raid night and kill him prior to heading inside. Otherwise have fun spamming the LFG channel.
He is summoned at the Bones of Grakkarond:
Once he is dead check his body for loot and then return to Geologist Larksbane in Cenarion Hold. Once you turn in “The Calling” she will give you another quest that you instantly turn in to claim your reward and receive your +25 NR legs!

MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!
First off thise thread is way to long. All I wanted to know is how to complete this quest and you guys are giving a bunch a BS.
You have to kill this gal shes a 62(Non-Elite)
She continually heals herself which makes it a long fight. I did this as a lvl 66 feral druid.
********************************************************
Coords to the cave entrance is 55,87 follow it all the way to the back shes there. Killing her completes the quest.

The reason the information seems wrong now, is due to the release of patch 2.3 that pretty much nerfed out a lot of harder quests. This was one of the quests that was nerfed. So at one time this quest was harder. The information provided was correct for the time. Please stop calling the information WRONG just because we got on the good end of a patch. TY
The co-ords to the entrance are 56,86...see not that hard to say coords...instead of 1 of 3 South West entrances
Hi...I'm a lv 60 huntress...i found that it's not that hard like u guyz said (or it's just me). it was soloable. i completed the quest by solo just now. here's what i did:
1. kill all the surrounding bugie bugs...
2. then, when all the bugs were killed, make sure ur mana is full. after that, put a freeze trap, for precautious (although it wasn't use after i put the trap.) then order ur pet to tank...use VIPER STING on her. then keep shooting her. by the time her mana's out, it'll b piece of cake. just keep VIPER STING her, dun let her spirit gain her mana, or she'll keep healing herself. try it... hope u can complete the quest...^^
n.b: sory for my bad English, i'm Indonesian...^^;
Good Luck...
The fight was easy i did it with my 59 shaman, the mob is a priestess she hits for 100 dmg/ casts shadow word of pain/ greater heal/psychic scream. Just make sure you cleared the room before attacking, and interrupt her greater healing spells.
I am a lvl 63 hunter
This is with no doubt the most annoying !@$# I have ever had to kill, healed herself while on zero mana, must have been bugged, went back later, used serpent sting to drain all her mana for sure this time, that worked.
First time was the most horrible thing ever though.
I did this solo with a druid at 60. Its true that the mobs in the room are no longer elite and thus is now solo-able but the priestess herself is the real problem so here's the tactic I found when fighting her off for druids:
Fight while in cat form, accumulate combo points, fight till her MANA is damn low (don't worry, she casts tons of spells in a short period of time), in fact, till you think she doesn't have any. When she starts to heal (and furor will greatly help with this next part) switch instantly to bear form and bash her to stun her, then switch back to cat form, wait for your energy bar to fill up as much as possible, or till stun ends, whichever comes first, and then hit her with a ferocious bite and hope her health was low enough for it to have killed her. The problem with the priestess right now that makes her DAMN tough is that when her mana is low, next to nothing, her regen rate gives her JUST about enough to cast a greater heal that fully heals her. Unless you've got DAMN good gear and dps (and a stun or silence), she'll manage to throw one off every time.
Plus, not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but I think the name of this quest is based on John Carpenters 'into the mouth of madness' where by the end of the movie the guy believes he has to do what he must and tries to kill someone.
56,87 is the location of the entrance into the hive she is in. Go all the way in to the last chamber.
Nearly threw laptop out of window - spent my time running from fear, while that was going on she heals even if she has no mana. Didnt get anywhere near killing her, lvl 59 resto druid. Goodluck
I expected her to be near impossible to solo after reading the comments here, but tried as a level 60 balance druid and found her kind of...easy.
The greater arcane elixir I took beforehand might have had something to do with it, but not much.
im level 60 warror tryed for 10 mins to kill her all she did was stun me then heal herself with no mana i got feared into 2 mobs then gave up
soloed with 62 hunter BM, fairly simple for me. i can see how it could get difficult though cause she heals, but i viper stung until she was outa mana, had to mend pet once, beast wraith'd after her first heal, n she ate the dirt. :) other post was very accurate about southwest entrance. walked from the dwarf camp took like 15 minutes for the whle q
So much stuff on here lol :|
Go to 56,87 for the entrance, go all the way thro she's at the back of the cave.
Soloed her: level 58 frost mage, good luck guys ^^
just tonight soloed her at lev 60 sham, she was a huge pain. feared me to put down tremor totem and she kept healing her self to full. I tried to interupt heals with earth shock but it didnt work (shrug). so just kept bangin away till she was low mana and cast a dmg spell instead of heal and finally got her. I had to take a mana pot and heal my self repeatedly but when she was dead I had bout 300 life left and no mana. ported right the heck out of there cause I was done with the fighting for a bit after that very tiring
I soloed it as lvl 59 shadow priest after dying once. The trick is to use mana burn untill she has no mana, and you hopefully still do. Then go all out on a nuke. When she tries to heal use fear or silence.
First time i tried i got her down to 1 % hitpoints but she managed to heal and my mana ran out. Fought for about 4 more minutes with little mana, and then died. When I came back I had to rekill all the mobs.
Second time it went better, I killed her, even though I wasted mana on shadow-form in the middle of the fight. Since I was level 59, I got some resists.
I think this was the hardest solo I've ever done, since she's got so many spells at her disposal - fear, full heal at almost no mana cost, mind flay, etc. But when she's really out of mana she only hits you with her fists, which do very little damage.
I used shield, and see no way of not using shield. The post above me soled it with level 58 (!!) mage. I wonder if mage's longer silence was what made it possible at all, becase after main mage nuke, she'd heal and win.
At any rate, using the variation of above is probably a good way to win. Rogues can kick her, but then again she might fear you... Tough cookie.
u dont really need a group at all, solod it lvl 58 hunter, drained all her mana then killed her easily.
I just did this on my lvl 59 Blood Elf Beast Mastery Hunter. Unfortunately, a friendly Night Elf druid decided to help me, and things kind of went downhill from there.
She'd mind control me, I'd cast "Scare Beast" on the bear-form Night Elf, Night Elf would go fleeing into a group of adjacent mobs, aggroing all of them, boss would heal herself, my pet would attack me. Somehow the word "clusterfuck" seems inadequate.
We managed to win, but the whole thing dragged on for about ten minutes.
Whatever you do, do not try soloing as a 60 healing priest!
I died over and over again.
She's not elite and doesn't have any elite guards anymore. She's level 62 and still heals herself very effectively and fears though. Even if you clear the area first you have to bank on at least one respawn. I soloed her reasonably easily as a level 60 hunter.
Also, for those of you too lazy to get coordinates like me, there's more than one tunnel in hive regal so make sure you go the south west one.
yeah....
I guess i'm thankful that Blizzard made things easier. I cast starfire at her, and 2 wraths, and she was dead in the time it took for 2 global cooldowns.
Perhaps i didn't use the crystal thing she's looking at. I'm gonna wait around for her to respawn and i'll repost if she's any more difficult to kill, but... have fun with her.
Chayel 70 Balance (atm) Druid
she is no longer elite. I did it with a 62 rogue and a 60 mage and didn't die once. just kill all the bugs around her first. if u do it right you wont pull any aggro from her until the bugs are dead.
Her fear is an instant cast, and she likes the fear-heal combo (who wouldn't?) so don't count on interrupting all the heals...
You _can_ clear the whole room so she doesn't fear you into adds... or you can kill the one mob in the doorway to the cavern, and LOS pull her around the corner into the alcove. She'll still fear you up and down the hall, but theres nothing much to add there.
soloable as 58 rogue just need 2 kill the enemies around first so you dont run into when she uses psycic scream
Soloable as 58 hunter (marksman) also. Clear the enemies around her. Send pet, viper sting (mana drain), silencing shot when she tries to heal herself. I didnt even use Aimed Shot to reduce her healing.
this wasnt that hard im a 60 hunter and i did it alone but she did use spell where makes u attack ur own teammate on me and she heals herself alot!
If you have any way of draining mana and reducing healing on target use this on her! But that should be the strategy with most casters anyway. As a hunter (60), I pulled her with viper sting which drains over 1000 mana, then had my boar charge her, then stunned her with boar, applied another viper sting and at that point she was just chasing me around totally out of mana and fucked just like the players who face me in pvp ;)
I just completed this quest lv 59 feral druid. No longer elite as of patch 2.3
However to down her you need to clear the entire room because she fears ALOT and you will aggro them. Then play the waiting game and try to survive. This is easy for classes that can self heal. Basically you need to wait until she goes out of mana because even if u get close to killing her she has a full heal.
When she was oom she still managed to get the odd ability off and usually managed to heal herself. took me 5 minutes to kill her because every time i got her down she healed to full. Eventually i got a lucky crit at the end and killed her before her heal went off.
I wouldn't try to solo this if u can't heal urself but classes who can interupt the heal shouldn't have any problem killing her after she goes oom
Hard to solo for a lvl 59 feral druid. First time i got her i thought she would be easy but then came the blackout and the mind flay and the fear. I aggroed 1 add. eventually i gave up.
Then after healing i pulled her then attack her. She used fear, hell, mind flay, stuns, but eventually i took her down with no adds on. GL on this chick, she is strong.
Boy, they really nerfed this quest. The whole hive used to be elite, she used to be elite and much stronger. Used to need a whole group for this, or be level 70. Now, this should be soloable for any class that can either heal or drain mana.
Killing her wasn't too bad for a Shadow Priest, Mana Burn until she has no Mana, then nuke. Easy.
extremely easy as lvl 60 undead rogue, just will of the forsaken out of the fear and kick her heals. had no problems at all.
