     Olea Manu is a level 60 NPC. He is a Jiro, or Humanoid who can interact both with the Hordes and the Alliance. Olea Manu is located in Terrace of Formation and then in Zereth Mortis and finding him and getting to interact with him can be tricky. This is how you can do it.

World Of Warcraft – How To Unlock The ,,Secret’’ Vendor Olea Manu

     For starters, you must have researched a fair amount of the Cypher Research Console. To be more precise, you will need to have researched Altonian Understanding. This is the first upgrade in the Aelic upgrades column after the Material Core System.

     After this research, you will have the skill to interact with Olea Manu. Now next step is starting the quest line. When you are in this location in Exile’s Hollow.

     You will need to take a sharp left once you fly out of the cave. On your left you will see Hanoa the Exile. You interact with him in order to take quests, starting with Broken Circle.

     There will be 3 quests in total after Broken Circle. You can take all of them together, and you can finish them together. They are fairly simple – just helping around 3 Jiros in the area.

     Maybe you will have a hard time with the 3rd quest. It is supposed to be a rare drop from the larger Berzerk enemies in the area. More specifically, this big guy. Kill as many of them as possible and you will have the drop in no time.

     Once you have taken Olea Novi to move to the cave to the north, and finished all the quests, you will talk with Olea Novi. You can tell him that everything is one, and now he is able to leave.

     Once that it is all taken care of, on to the next quest. Go back to Hanoa the Exile, give in the returned quest, and take Mawdified Behaviour. This one is really straight forward. Just kill this enemy NPC that is close to your position.

     Now, you will need to return to Hanoa the Exile again to get the story going. You will need to follow him and he will take you to Olea Manu, Olea Novi and Olea Pau. Simply take all of the 3 quests that they offer.

  •      From Olea Manu –  Rift Recon
  •      From Olea Novi   –  Mawsteel Maw Problems
  •      From Olea Pau    –  Pound of Flesh

     You will finish all 3 of these quests which should be simple and easy. Then proceed to go to Hanoa the Exile again to take the questline Jiro to Hero.

     At first, I didn’t realize how to get to the other side, but you will need just to enter this big portal or rift.

     You will find Hanoa again on the other side. Interact with him to start the quest. You will just have a protect mission. Npc’s are gonna come to attack him, you need to make sure that he will stay alive.

     This can be dangerous if you are not prepared.

  • First wave: 3 smaller enemies
  • Second wave : 2 larger enemies
  • Third and last wave : 1 very large – Cosmic Hungerer  -P.S. he is tough

     Tips to defeat him :

  • Interrupt him while casting
  • Move out of his AoE area because he really does a lot of damage

     Once you defeat him, you will follow the Jiro running away and turn in the quest.

     After a little bit of roleplay between the Jiro characters, you mission to have this hidden secret vendor will be successful.

     Once you fly back to Exile’s Hollow you can find Olea Manu. Do not go looking for him inside the cave. He will be standing outside ready to do trading with you.

     This is what he offers.

This is where he is located. Have fun trading!
