Total boss health (including phases, more or less):
The Burning Crusade 57 068 * 1.9 ~ 108 429
Wrath of the Lich King 126 000 * 1.9 ~ 239 400
Cataclysm 968 625 * 1.9 ~ 1 840 388
Mists of Pandaria 7 588 656 * 1.9 ~ 14 418 446

An explanation on how this works; phase 1 starts and you fight him from 100-60%, then he heals too 100% and you now fight his head (head health not taken in calculation). Phase 2 starts and you fight him 100-30%, then his head once more and he again heals back to 100%. Phase 3 starts and you fight him 100-0% (assuming you do it quick enough and don't let him heal back up) and that is his "total health" -but it varies depending on the outcome of your fight. The result you see here is the minimum amount of damage you have to deal to get him down.

Headless Horseman is a lvl 70 Elite. He can be summoned during the Hallow's End event in Scarlet Monestery - Graveyard.
Every character can summon him once a day. So my group did this boss 5 times in a row.

For us dropped:

Swift Magic Broom: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=33184/schneller-zauberbesen
Magic Broom : https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=33183/alter-zauberbesen
Witching Band : https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34074/gespenstisches-band
Pumpkin Head and some other stuff not shown on the page.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This boss is summonable 1 time at day for each character. no quests needed for summ him...just click on the pumkin in front of his tomb...and then on the ground behind that pumpkin....

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is easy, but only once you figure the fight out. Killing him does not end the fight. When he dies, his head leaves his body, and you then have a few seconds to dps the head.

The fight ends when his head dies. If you take too long on the head, after two rounds of deaths, he starts summoning adds. These can pile up.

So... burst dps the head when it shows up and this is an easy fight. Good loot too, for such a short fight.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just to ease everyone's confusion, I'll post what I've learned from the past hour of experience.

There are 2 quests involving the Headless Horseman: one where he comes to Razor Hill (in Durotar) every 4 hours (Noon, 4 PM, 8 PM, etc) and one where he can be summoned and fought by a 5-man group in the Scarlet Monastery.

Quest 1 (Razor Hill):When he comes to Razor Hill, he flies around above the village for a few minutes while people are ostensibly supposed to be putting out fires with the water buckets in a quest called "Stop the Fires!". The problem with this is unless you formed a fire chain (the buckets can be passed from person to person) or you had a great many people in the village, you can't put out the fires faster than the Horseman can start them. It is my opinion therefore that you just need to get the quest when the Horseman comes, wait around until he leaves, help put out the fires and then turn the quest in. The reward is 3 x Hallow's End Pumpkin Treat.

Quest 2 (Scarlet Monestary): The quest to summon the Headless Horseman is a daily just like any other. It is called "Call the Headless Horseman" and is received by clicking on the pumpkin in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard instance (the farthest left of the four entrances). This is the only quest you need, so don't worry about having to go anywhere else or get anything else. After each person in the party clicks the pumpkin and gets the quest, they will receive a "Dreary Candle" in their inventory. Once they have this candle they can each summon the Horseman once by clicking on the pile of dirt just behind the pumpkin.

Each member of a group can summon the Horseman once per day, so it is possible to do the quest 5 times per day within 1 group of 5. I believe the instance must be reset after each kill.

Info on the actual fight can be found in the wowwiki article about the Headless Horseman (found at: http://www.wowwiki.com/Headless_Horseman).

I can confirm that I have seen the healing ring and the helm drop off the same kill, so it would appear that multiple epics can drop per kill.

One word of advice: be careful who you group with and be very clear about whose turn it is to summon, I feel fairly certain that one member of our group did not summon the Horseman even though he claimed otherwise. The rationale behind this is that it would enable him to get another group of 5 kills later on in the day with a different set of people. Yes, I'm talking about you Nerfcos.

Small SS but this is the helm. Dropped after about the 8th run.
Our paladin healer got this. No other plate wearers were there.

Good Luck.

The fight goes something like this. First stage is pretty much a tank and spank. Once he get's to 1%, his head will fall off and both the body and the head will wander aimlessly. Once you get the head down to 66% it returns to his body, which is restored to 100%. Repeat the process and knock his head off again. This time the body will Whirlwind while the head is knocked off. Knock the head down another 3rd of the way and it will rejoin with the body again. This time he summons adds that help him fight. Knock off the head a final time and kick it down to 0. That ends the fight and the adds despawn. Enjoy your loot and flying brooms.

Kommentar von Thottbot

One thing you all may want to know, you can fight him more than 5 times in a day. You dont need to have the quest to fight him or to loot him only to summon him. Even if you have already summoned him you can fight him as many times as you can find a group with people who can still summon him. Just remember you can only enter a new instance 5 times in a row before u have to wait a while to enter another one again. Thats the only restriction. I have fought him 10 times today already and I'm going to do some more later.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Getting a candle from the pumpkin is NOT ON A DAILY TIMER!
I've got 2 today, they are definetly on some sort of timer but exactly how long i dont know. No more than about 5 hours thats for sure.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i know that the brooms will disappear in 14 days, but the question is if other epics wouldn't do the same ? these epics are UNDISENCHANTABLE !

Kommentar von Thottbot

You can get the quest and summon the horseman once every two hours. I just summoned him for the second time just before this post.

HOWEVER, the quest is daily and you can only do 10 daily quests, you can do this quest 10 times in 20 hours. Thats if you haven't done any other daily quests.

You summon the horseman in Scarlet Monastary: Graveyard which is located in Trisfal Glades. Hard to miss the giant jack-o-latern in the middle of the instance and a very fun quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy boss, lots of fun, great drops...good job blizzard

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok just a little help and info I have learned about this. Toons lower then level 70 can summons him. We had a level 64 Paly with us last night. And now I know your all asking why we had a level 64 with us... Well the answer is simple. She was bored and felt left out so we invited her to our RAID group. Yes that right I said RAID. You can still do the summonsing quest and loot him while in a raid group. It makes the fight so much easier when you have 10 people compaired to 5. and you can each do it once. I hope this helps every one.

Did him with 70 feral druid, 70 fire mage, 68 BM hunter, 40 protection paladin and 40 shadow priest.

Feral druid has kara/gruul/pvp epics
Fire mage has blue level 70 gear and 2x spellfire epics
68 BM hunter has crappy green/blue gear from quest rewards

40 protection pally and 40 shadow priest had crappy healing gear ofc but they were still able to keep the druid up all the time. The only problem we had with him was during Phase 3 because we lacked dps and he was able to summon 8 Pumpkin fiends who basically slaughtered our lowbie healers, but they all despawned when the headless horseman died so it was ok.

We killed him 3 times with this group even when only 2 of us were 70.

The level 40s could roll on the epics that dropped and our level 40 paladin got the +31 stamina +60 AP ring because it dropped every time (killed him 3 times).

68 BM hunter was able to summon the boss too so you don't have to be 70 to summon him. The level 40s were however not able to summon him.

We're going to let lowbies in our guild get free epics every day until the event ends, maybe it will make them want to level to 70 so they can use it.

In short, Headless Horseman is a easy boss and you don't need a full group of 70s to kill him. 1 Good tank + 2 mediocre dps + super low levels with healing abilities is enough to kill him.

Kommentar von Thottbot

We Farm the Horseman using a Raid group for our guild, mostly just to let everyone wheel in their alts for a bit of fun. Our guild is more social than hardcore and we found the boss quite tough 5 man, so 10 man is much easier.

There are several points to note.

1. Each char has a 2hr timer to summon the horseman.
2. You can 10 man raid him.
3. The meeting stone level limit applies.
4. The 5 instance per hour limit applies. With a raid you must be careful to ensure you only do him 4 times in any 60 minute period, so you can farm him all day. If you reset the instance 5 times you are locked out of all instances for 1hr.
5. You MUST have a tank. Without an effective tank you will struggle - as with all end game bosses. The boss does significant damage that needs high armor protection.
6. The horseman can be taken down slowly in stage 1 and 2 (so save mana in these phases) but the head must be DPS'ed fairly quickly when it detaches. Stage 3 requires maximum DPS to bring on final head detach and then to kill the head and end the sequence. If you run short of DPS in this stage then the head will re-attach and more adds will spawn - you can AOE the adds but this isn't needed if you spank the horseman / head quickly enough (the adds "grow" on a timer before they attack).

Hope this helps.

Got this Helm after 88 kills and six failed rolls, #7 was a charm!

Kommentar von Thottbot

my friend got it, and he likes the laughing thing alot. REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY kool!

Kommentar von Thottbot

you could summon him from lvl 65+ but i believe the event is no longer availble as it was part of the halloween skin bliz had in place, i might be wrong tho i havent checked

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ring of Ghoulish Delight is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Eye of the Stalker.

The Horseman's Signet Ring is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Cobalt Band of Tyrigosa.

Witches Band is identical in every way bar the name and icon to the Band of Halos.

So, theoretically, you could have two of the "same" ring, despite it being Unique.

The Helm is just uber kewl! Use: Laugh MAniclly.

Blizz hide that effect : /

Why is his name Headless Horseman if he has a head?

Kommentar von Thottbot

which part of SM dose he spawn in?is it GY?

Kommentar von Thottbot

You can't summon him, he was from the 2007 halloween event. You'll have to wait till Hallows eve comes back around, and even then there's no guarantee he'll drop the same stuff. Mighta missed the boat on this one

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The key is to have a decently geared tank and healer, a well geared dps wouldn't hurt either. the other 2 in the group can be filler. As long as you know what you're doing and focus on the head when it pops off you should have absolutely no problems.

My first run we weren't too sure how it went, so we wiped.
Second time did it easily, he dropped the signet ring and a broom.
Third he dropped the healer ring and the hollowed helm and a broom.
Fourth time he dropped healer ring again, the signet ring and a broom again I think.

I'm really looking forward to the helm, I got both rings on me now, and the others in my group really all want the dps ring, but haven't seen that drop yet.

Good luck to everyone on the drops!

This is a Daily Quest, you can only do it once a day.
But... you can loot from other player's summons.

Drops are not denchable or sellable.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just FYI

You CAN start a raid in here. Just get a bunch of people and take turns summoning, killing exit reset. Rinse repeat. Adding summoners as needed. You can go for quite a while doing this.

You of course need at least a good tank to hold agro. After the good tank even a mediocre healer can do this since you should have plenty of DPS to take him down the 3 times fast.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2 epic rings in 20 mins not bad

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is he possible to tank as a 69 Prot Warrior with good Superior gear (not quite pre-kara)?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

HH is an easy tanking task, provided you have AoE to take care of the Adds in the final phase prior to the 3rd head detachment. I've tanked him a number of times; Helm dropped my 17th time.

I'm Arms, no points in Prot, and I easily kept aggro on this guy. I didn't even need my full tanking set, just the Blue Aldor chest, epic helm, epic ring of immpenetrable defenses, Darkmoon Card, epic trinket, blue trinket, blue netherwing Shield, while using epic Aldor sword.

The head's a bit harder, as it's immune to Taunt. HH is immune to disarm

The laugh alone make it a great helm, but any semi-competent tank whould be able to hold aggro on HH. Just be sure to know what your role is when the adds arrive.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It does seem to count as a daily quest, but I summoned him at around 7am server time then just summoned him again at about 11:30pm server time So I think like the ram runs it is on a 12 hour cooldown. It has definitely been less than 24 hours and I have summoned him twice. So my guess is that it's 12 hours. The second time I summoned him it did not seem to decrease my daily quest count though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

took 6 hours and like 20 runs to get the helm for my warr

Kommentar von Allakhazam

yey,got the head on my second kill :p and the ring on the first :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My war is decked out in quest blues and Breastplate of Kings, wielding a Qel'Serar (yes at 70...I have an emotional attachment to it); with only 28 points in prot I was able to tank effectively grouped with peeps decked out in Kara/SSC gear, including an enhancemant shammie.

We killed him 7 times by filtering other toons. He dropped the helm twice, Witching band thrice, signet ring once, ring of ghoulish delight twice and the swift magic broom once. All in all a good haul.

DPS is the key here, the head was always down within seconds and we simply ignored the pumpkin spawns. If you don't have high DPS and you're a caster...conserve mana!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wow it hurt to read that post. My brain couldn't keep up with the bad grammar. This isn't a next messege or a fast type kind of deal. You have time to accuratley write what you are trying to say. Please do us all a favor and use spell check next time?

3 Stages

1 Stage
Headless horseman: On his horse. Does a cleave attack. Hp will go down fast. If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. (In later runs you will know how many mana you need to kill the adds in stage 3. Than adjust you fighting style to it. Longer or shorter nuke at the beginning.)

Healers: Heal tank

2 Stage
Headless horseman: The head goes on the body again. And his hp will return to full. He will start throwing pumpkins at one target that hit for 1k and do a fire based aoe for 6 secs (500 per tick). If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. (in later runs you will know how many mana you need to kill the adds in stage 3. Than adjust you fighting style to it. Longer or shorter nuke at the beginning.

Healers: Heal tank and players hit by the pumpkins.

3 Stage
Headless horseman: The head goes on the body again. And his hp will return to full. He will start summoning adds. Every 30 seconds or so. 4 of them, they drop down from the sky and need some time to activate. They have +/- 3.5k hp and downed easily by an aoe-er. (where you saved you mana for) If hp gets to 0 his head comes lose and you need to nuke it fast. (The hp of the head is the really life-bar of the headless horseman.) When the head is lose, the body will walk around randomly and do a melee aoe, so look out.

Tank: Tank and spank

DPS melee: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS non aoe: Do damage as much you can. Go all out on the head.

DPS with aoe: Wand or nuke till 80% mana then wand. Wait for the adds to come and activate than aoe them down.

Healers: Heal tank and aoe-ers.

If you don’t kill the head at the end of stage 3, than that stage will repeat itself till one of the two parties is dead.

good luck all
Redone it totally, hope you guys can read it better now and its more clear.

aye he is Easy..

Grinded him for about 4 hours, 12 kills.. got everything i wanted on 2 chars..

U can do him 5 times with the same group.. Each member can summon him once every 2 hours. Each summon does count to your daily Q's, but thats only your own summoning of him..

In short hes very farmable.. What u should do is get all ur level 70's there and keep changing group setup with ur other alts, so u can keep on downing him..

Happy hunting! ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What level must you be to summon? I heard people say it's 70.. then again a level 66 said he summoned him. 65 maybe? I know I went with a group of 70s, as a 63, but couldn't get the quest. My husband got one of the brooms and gave it to me. Aw, how schweet.

But HOW do you summon him?
