Quick guide to killing the Shan-To-Kor boss:
This is really easy, even though they took away the last shrine, there is still a shrine buy the giant boss that summons the undead. If you look where the kobolds spawn near him is the cave, go inside, and pull the first few Mephits to the stairs. Once they are killed you can go left if your careful and rest without aggroing the room full of Mino's and trolls.
Once your rested (and you have all the 4 shards) go to the boss portal, and hop in. Have 1 character run to boss ( have cleric put fire protection on him) and run him around the pillars while the rest of the party proceeds to go inside each of the elemental rooms and kill the mobs inside. For every room you clear, you take away one of the Fire giants buffs. Once each room is cleared, still have a runner runing the giant around in circles, while you range/Magic missile/web/or command if your wis is high enough. If a someone else besides the runner aggro's him, have the runner hit him a few times to get agro back/or taunt. This works best when coordinating the team with voice. With a good runner, and cleric, he'll be dead in seconds.
When fighting him on hard, or elite, make sure you bring lots and lots of fire protection potions, as rebuffing everyone tends to deplete spellpoints really fast.
I hope this can be of some use.
If anyone wants, I can write an in depth guide from start to finish and post some screenshots. :)

why go through all that trouble just bring a sorc or wizzie and use the meta magic feats maximize and niac him. have done the run numerous times and after you kill the guards i have never even had to swing at the boss. course this will only work till the nerf niac

there are two short cuts. the first one is at the begining. instead of crossing the fallen pillar bridge at the start. go to the right and fight the kobals. the next one is at the barrier. when it drop cross the bridge and turn left. you will avoid the fight with the shaman pas the bridge.

The boss of Shan-to-kor is not the one in Stormcleave oO

Shan-to-Kor: Get a wiz/sorc with magic missile and a shield tank. Left right at the wall are
niches. Get the wizz into that niche and letz the tank stand in front of him and shield stance.
Cast the boss dead.

Stormcleave: Run in kill earth elementals, kill boss. Another possibility...just dispell him :P
