Whew! I just soloed this as a 31 shaman and I had to do more graveyard runs than I'd like to admit. The warlocks do run around a lot, so the challenge is to pull them away from other enemies, or else they'll pick up adds. Of course, they're casters, and it's in tight quarters, so while you try to pull them away, chances are they'll be tossing shadowbolts at the back of your head.

I suspect ranged characters (nukers and hunters) will have better luck with this place. They can CC the voidwalker pets if need be, and then just out-DPS the warlocks. The warlocks don't run around, I assume, if you're not getting up into melee range.

Oh, and the boss guy is just a plain ol' warrior type; no specials that I saw. Easy as pie.

Just soloed as a 29 druid, the trick well the thing i do lol was kill one of the two warlock closer to him, and well then you die, but when you return you can pull without any adds and loot his head. ;)

Just soloed as 29 hunter.

the trick for me was to kill the 2 warlocks at the bottom floor, always send pet in first. After that i had no trouble walking in withouth aggro, use eyes of the beast to control your pet, walk him up to the first warlock then let him run down far enough for you to be in line of sight. Do this all the way up, i had no trouble doing this, not even with the top level, i could easily get the 2 at the stairs, regain health and mana.
Last thing, send your pet to one of the warlocks next to Athrikus, this will also aggro him, but that's allright as long as you remember to slow down the warlock so it doesn't run !
Kill the warlock, then Athrikus and last the voidwalker, and voila you've got the head. No harm done :)

Easy to solo as a Mage. Be sure to use Counterspell on the warlocks to reduce damage. They'll then run towards you to melee, so frost nova them and their minion, then DPS. Repeat for each. Just be careful of the threat from counterspell, although I didn't have any problems.

I tried this several times and finally soloed it at level 35, as a priest. It was still yellow. At L30, the two warlocks at the base of the tower were still able to combine and kill me. Tonight the right warlock would just evade, but I think that I could have taken the pair.

The warlocks will always attack before their minions. Routine was shield, dot, dot, manaburn, manaburn, wand if needed. re-shield, dot, wand the minion. Only one warlock would attack at a time. I was able to single pull all warlock/minion pairs, just walking around the tower. If I could not easily target the warlock, I would let them attack to establish a target, as the warlock would always attack before sending their pet. If you attack from a distance with a spell or probably an arrow, attacking the warlocks adjacent to Athrikus did not aggro him, although that might have been a level thing - a lower level might have a higher aggro radius. In any case I never want to go into that silly tower again, at least with this toon.

There were respawns before I started down the tower. I could go down one stair while they were on the other without aggroing and kill the ones I had to. I would not do that on the way up because I was worried about him calling his minions for help but there had already been repops on the lower levels that did not interfere.

Yep, not too hard. Just solo'd him 3 times as a level 33 warrior while waiting for a party member to come along.

It's possible to pull a voidwalker and warlock on their own each time and work your way around to the main dude.

Just solo'd this as a 31 feral Druid. I was able to stealth up to the top lvl, just have to watch the patterns of the locks. Then it took me 2 "death trips", to get a clear space where i could pull the lock to the left of Athrikus. Then was able to solo pull him and kill him. Then stealthed back down. GL!!

With a shaman level 30 solo him had hard time take 1 voidstalker and 1 warlock at a time easyer to aggro at this level but he died...

Anyone as an idea if the "journal page" is a trash item ?

Комментарий от mrdummy

Before you're near the boss, you can pull 1 on 1 to lower floor level. They shall follow you to the trap, then nuke them. Soloable at l33 shaman. When done, fight with boss is easy.
It's indeed pretty thight with many warlocks and adds. and they respawn pretty fast.

I died in the begin, rezz at floor below boss (1 lower floor) - that saves you long time fight and you can start with pulling mobs from top floor.

Towers are really frustrating.

I see my pet and who he's fighting, but since its on a curve it says target is not in line of sight, but I can see him.

Hard quest at 29.

Feel like I could do it if I could navigate the tower better.

Easy as pie....soloed this quest as a L32 shaman didn't die once... the quarters are tight but earthshock is for the win... stoneclaw every other voidwalker and it was just a matter of killing the target.
earthshock stops them from running away from you to cast and makes them run to you to melee. Once you earthshock them move away from other npcs and its done.

Did it as a lvl 30 feral druid, was pretty easy. Killed the warlock/voidwalker pairs on my way up (being careful to watch for pats), killed the pair at the top of the stairs (on the opposite side of the room from Athrikus), then pulled the pair close to him. He aggroed as well, but I tossed up some HoTs, used a health pot for good measure, and went back to kitty to kill them all.

Easy soloable as 32 combat rogue.

The tower is filled by warlocks with Void Walkers. These warlocks are dangerous only for a reason: they always try to escape from melee range to nuke you with shadowbolts. For that reason is important to not challenge them in tight spaces, otherwise they will bring adds.
One simple trick: sap warlocks, killing their pet in the meanwhile, then finish them easily, kicking when they shadow bolt. If you kick them they will escape anyway, but they will come back a short after to hit you in melee (they cannot cast for 5 seconds).
On the last floor there are 4 warlocks + Void Walkers with Athrikus: you can pull each of them without aggroing Athrikus. Sap each warlock, as usual, pulling her pet and killing it in a safe place; then climb down one ramp breaking line of sight and wait for the sapped warlock to follow you down: you have plenty of space to kill each of them without aggroing anyone else.
Once every warlock is dead, Athrikus is a piece of cake.

Soloable as a 31 hunter although I did die a couple times, its no easier after patch 2.4 then it was a year ago on my Pally

Комментарий от 27642

Just soloed as a lv28 Rogue...not too hard if you're willing to die a couple of times. Stealth in, watch for the movement patterns of the warlocks and their minions and slip past them, then at the top of the tower sneak up behind the target and focus on killing him. Die...run back and loot the body. Die...run back and rez...turn in quest. Voila.

Комментарий от 82001

I did it as 32 Rouge and died a couple of times due mistakes, but may be there's a bug after patch 2.4. I killed Athrikus but I died with him. When I returned for my body (2 minutes after), Athrikus was respawned altough his corpse was in front of him! I had to sap him again to loot his corpse an get his head for complete the quest. Crazy if you ask me... lol.

Unsoloable as a Lvl 29 hunter. Unsoloable at Lvl 30 & 31. And, erm, unsoloable at Lvl 32. Ditto Lvl 33.
I FINALLY completed this quest at Lvl 34. At the enterance to the tower, there is a patrolling warlock and pet that crosses over the warlock that is in view. I suggest waiting a few seconds (6 secs works ^^) until they pass. Sent in pet first, set Freezing Trap infront of me for Voidwalker, Scorpid Sting & Arcane Shot the warlock. Pet & I finished Voidwalker off together. Waited for patrolling mob and killed them. Same with the 2nd & 3rd floor. Waited for the warlock that comes down the spirally (O.o lol) stairs. Killed them. Ran up the stairs, aggroed the mob on my right, ran down the stairs (Pet on Passive) and killed them on the 3rd floor. Ran up again, did the same with the mob on left. (The upside of being a high lvl compared to the mobs is that you don't aggro that much :)) Killed the warlock next to Athrikus. Didn't run down the stairs. Finished Athrikus next. Had enough time to open the chest there before he respawned :O Beware! They all spawn that fast! Had to fight my way out!

So had some trouble, but was ECTATIC when I finished. Mind you, my friend's Lvl 70 main & his friends was getting OWNED by a Lvl 60 Elite, so I guess that made me pretty patient and happy! ^^

Good Luck! :)

I had to register just to add this comment, since nobody appears to have mentioned it yet. Provided that you're either a rogue or a druid, you can solo this quest as long as you've done a little preparation.

Get food buffed before you go in to the tower. Stealth your way up to the 2nd level from the top and clear the one patrol that walks up and down the staircase between that level and the top floor, then stealth up behind Athrikus (it helps tremendously to have a talented stealth ability as a rogue, or feral instinct as a druid).

The way I finished this with my 28 druid was by opening up with rake, faerie fire, claw to 5 cp, then rip and refreshed rake. This is where you pop your Light of Elune that you received as a quest reward from: Mage Summoner because you should be very nearly dead at this point. The important thing is to not use the item too soon - you want to use it when you're close to dying so that it's still active with enough time to loot. The combination of your bleed effects and continued melee should be more than enough to burn him down with time to spare on your bubble.

Loot him as soon as he dies, then jump over the railing so that you land on the stairway going down to the next level (which should still be clear at this time) and vanish / shadowmeld to reset agro. Then it's just a matter of healing up and stealthing your way out to turn in the quest.

I know, doing it this way requires that you waste the single greatest alliance only item in the game. That said, I've still yet to find 'the perfect use' for the Light of Elune on any of my other characters - it's still rotting in their banks - so if you're one of those people that likes solo challenges, this is a great time to make use of it.

Edit: just to clarify, this is mainly a strat for solo players who want to try to take him down at a relatively low level without having to make use of the 'kill / die / respawn and loot / die again' method. If you've got a use in mind for the Light of Elune, just party up with another player and finish the quest in a normal way.

Soloed this with a level 28 Hunter.
Very easy.

Комментарий от iranou

This quest is similar to Morganth in Redridge - identical towers, lots of dark magic and a boss to kill at the top.. and they're both pretty difficult to solo at the "correct" level.

Counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor.

A pain in the ass for a lvl 29 warrior.... =(

Комментарий от 258919

Don't bother with this quest unless you want Loremaster (By which time you'll be 80 and this'll be cake) or you really need Darnassus rep or you actually want the rewards at the end.

This quest is just a pain. To get to the tower you go through a field of low level but annoying mobs. Inside, you have to battle enemies on every floor that wander around, which means you will often be fighting two warlocks (as well as their minions) at a time. On the top floor, the mobs are so jampacked that it is almost impossible to only pull one (if you can stealth behind one and engage it close to you, you will only have to kill that warlock), but even if you manage to pull one, they will without a doubt attempt to run away and aggro another mob. Then once you get the warlocks down, you fight the boss, who is probably the easiest part of the quest.

Just don't do it. Even as a level 30 (for which this quest is yellow), it's tough and not worth your trouble.

Solo'ed as well-geared 29 Mage. Died 5 times, and the GY is not very close so that's a pain. The mobs inside the tower are lvl 29. Their shadow bolts hit for about 120 and the Voidwalkers melee for about 50 on cloth.

Sheep the casters and frost nova the minions, then take them down. Keep Mana Shield up. Try to Counterspell, but don't rely on it. Keep health pots handy. They have a ton of arcane resistance, so you should expect your Polymorph and Counterspell to fail often. When in doubt, burn down the caster and let the Voidwalker hit you, because one shadow bolt crit can finish you off.

It is possible to pull each pair of mobs separately, though it is also quite easy to pull more than one, which is almost a guaranteed death.

I soloed it like 30 Disciple Priest. Died 3 times, then I used Mind Soothe at the warlocks at the top floor. Worked very well - they didn´t call for help after that, so you can kill them one after another.

Комментарий от 425777

I 've done this quest twice Solo (by mistake) at a lv.32/33 Hunter it can be done, I found the secret is to take as many Warlocks down as you can, by luring them away from the top level. Firstly kill the Warlock's first because they run away in the first few hit's of your attack, and summon more help. When you do get to the top work around clockwise, because the boss tended to join in on the last one or two remaining , But it did a lot of dying to get this far. (PS if you do die recarnate as near the last place you died ,because there is a fast turnover when it comes to the warlocks reviving).

I usually do not moan about difficult quests often, as I hear too much "This game is too easy waaah" so its fun to point out quests that are difficult and challenging to people who say that.

But this is complete and absolute hell. As a 31 Shadow Preist, i died 5 times before completely giving up. The warlocks have high shadow resistance and on the last level i managed to agro THREE of the warlocks who swiftly shadow bolted me into oblivion.

In a word: Hell.

The drop rate on part 4 of this chain is horrible. Its not worth it. There are too many quests with low drop rates to spend time on this kind of thing. my opinion of course, up to you if you wish to spend time on it. But as I try to complete, I can say, never again with any other toon.

Easy soloed as a 30 Feral druid (0/14/7)

My strategy was this:

First, stealth all the tower till you reach the top with Narassin
Second, kill a lock. if she tries to scape or pull another add, simply kill the lock and then use your racial. The lock's vw will dessapear and the add will return to her position.
Repeat this till you have cleared the npc.

Note: i got it in my first try. Only quest-geared.
Note2: sry for my english =(
