Find Apex at 53, 67 (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=19940), drop Crystal, then go back and use orb.

Kommentar von 15241

Coordinates above (53, 67) are confirmed.

He is a large rock demon with approximately 22.7k health. Screenshot submitted.

Soloable as a 70 combat rogue.

Kommentar von 1701

Moves faster than normal running speed, but can be fireblast / blink trained.

Kommentar von 13914

coords confirmed. soloed as 70 frost mage

Kommentar von erol

Easy to kite as a 68 fire mage (the running speed on boots can be a plus)

Kommentar von javada

69 hunter kited successfully. Didnt need pet. I used the follwing kiting path: starting from where you find him, then follow the path to eco-dome midrealm (dont enter eco-dome), follow path around ot the left over towards area 52 and if you haven't killed him by the time you reach Area52, follow the path to your left before actually entering Area52. Very little adds along this route to give you any bother. Stay out of his reach and use aspect of cheetah all the way. Seems to be immune to concuss and freeze traps did not work on him for me. Used acrane and serpent sting to grind him down.

Kommentar von Cailaris

Soloed as 70 warlock, he is immune to fear and snares, just Drain Tanked him down, at like 50% he summons little rock minions that hurt, just AOE'd fear and kept my eye on the prize, Had to use HS and a super healing pot though! GL!

Kommentar von 19634

Solo'd as a 70 feral druid. I ended up going bear form and slowly backing him up down the road closest to him all the while dpsing with maul and mangle. When I kept moving, the adds he spawned did not aggro on me, they just sat in the middle of the road. (might have just been bugged though)

A couple of side notes:
Apex hit me (with 11k armor (53% mitigation) in bear) for around 200 so it was very managable and could heal through it.

He was not immune to Bash nor Cyclone. I did not try roots as I only needed Cyclone to get heal off.

He does a Thunder Clap type move that slows your movement speed (might have done something else as well, but i can't recall). So if you are trying to simply kite him around, try not to get to close.

Lastly, I cannot confirm this as I did not engage his adds, but other druids have told me that his adds are rootable.

Kommentar von selece

Soloed as a 70 hunter. Kited down from Duro to Sunfury Hold, then down around past Coruu.

Easily done with Cheetah, no really hard mobs to path around.

Kommentar von Laccery

Easy with the Fetish of the Sand reaver. 70 Lock. Incinerate/Destro. Had VW tank with festish up and then poped soul shatter. VW was able to tank the whole fight with those two de-agros till he was dead. :)

Kommentar von katn

70 feral druid soloable
just keep kite it slowly beyond the road
and leave the small apex alone.

Kommentar von PrimEviL

did it as retri pala, tho had to use both bubbles and LoH.
somebody said above that he's a demon. wrong. a giant.

Kommentar von Keelin

Can be solo as Demo Warlock. Dont need to kite, just tank and spank Apex.

Coordinate is correct, note however he does roam about a little so you can wait for him to get nearer to the road so you can pull him safely.

(Pull him to the road, inside there have stealth mobs) Dots him up ... heal Felguard... renew Dots as needed. When spawn adds ... get your Felguard to hit each of them at least once (he spawn 3 adds, they have about 1k plus hp each, Felguard does cleave so if the adds lose about 1mm hp from the cleave you are fine .. switch back to Apex, kill him first).

Note: Apex does not hit hard on your Felguard, you can Drain Life him if you see you Felguard HP is enuf (3K plus). Dmg increase when the adds spawn.

Kommentar von 19740

soloed as a 70 shadow priest. just fear adds and dps.

Kommentar von satriani

This quest now gives 11gold 48 silver at level 70.

Kommentar von 14004

Can also be solo'd by a mage, like most stuff.

Sick your ele on him, put shield on, crack trinket, smack him with some 3k frostbolts, blink, more frostbolts untill he's in your face, hit cooldown, shield, pull out ele, frostnova adds, blink, more frostbolts, fireblast ,cone of cold, should be done with him, finish adds, sit, drink, /yawn.

No fear, no kite, no dots, just power.

Kommentar von kjeksomanen

unfearable.

Kommentar von 24542

He can't be kited very far since he'll evade and run back. Also, he spawns various adds at roughly 80% and 50%, maybe more later (I couldn't solo him). The spawns can be feared, the the mob himself not.

It's also impossible to kite him across the bridge, since he'll evade in the middle of it and run back. Perhaps there's a trick, but I had him dotted and did heal myself, so aggro was definitely there.

Kommentar von shockwaver

Soloed as a 70 shadowpriest. Just blasted him with everything I had. He is immune to fear, but his adds are not. So I managed to fear them 3 times, while nuking. After he was dead I just went out of aggro range and adds dissapeared. Returned and looted. Piece of cake.
Good location is near the bridge and road at 51,70.

Respawn timer is rather fast. He respawned while I wrote this. :)

Kommentar von 1114

Level 68 shadow priest solo'd. Was a very challenging kill at my level. No potions or anything like that. Did drop shadowform to heal for the first time in the Outlands though. He hits for ~500 damage on cloth.

Kommentar von 27769

Soloed as Destro Lock, had a fun time kiting him around Area 52, all the way from 52,68
pulled with shadow bolt, ran like hell while i constantly threw CoA on him, and when Shadowfury CD was done i stunned him with it
The Thunderclap made it even easier to solo because he had to stop while using it, more time for me :D
quite simple AND fun :P

Kommentar von 27828

Soloed this as a 70 fury warrior, but I did die at the end.

Popped most of my cooldowns (Recklessness, Death Wish, Bladefist's Breadth), and brought him down fast, because I read somewhere up that he becomes weaker the more his health goes down. So I tried to get him to low HP asap.

Near the end I used Last Stand (got my last points in prot, very handy). When his adds came I feared those and spam-executed Apex, then looted him fast.
Then I used a pot but my Last stand ran out, so I died because of the adds. I think if I had waited till Last Stand ran out and popped the pot right after that, I could've survived.

Hope it helps :)

Kommentar von 25095

If you use the orb right after another player has used it(not in your group) the quest wont complete. You will have to go back and kill Apex..

Kommentar von 28014

Soloable as 70 shaman using Fire elemental totem. u need some smooth luck too tho he will kill ur fire elemental fast. recomended with a partner

Kommentar von 21087

I soloed this as a 70 Enhancement Shaman. Dropped an Earth Elemental totem to do the tanking. Proceeded to DPS Apex, throwing the occasional heal on the Earth Elemental. I needed a mana pot but otherwise it was pretty easy.

Kommentar von Fahiel

I soloed it as a 70 holy priest, but it wasn't easy =P Main thing is to keep the little spawns feared as much as possible and make sure you have a dot on him at all times. DPS potions might have helped too.

Kommentar von 29877

Soloed as a 70 shadow priest. Had to use two +dmg trinkets and feared his crumblers off twice. Just throw on all DoTs and focus fire the crap out of him.

Kommentar von 16133

really easy to solo as 70 druid. Use cat form to do initial DPS, switch to bear and start mangle/maul/swipe/ demo shout. DONT use frenzied rejuv until you are at around 1/3 health. If you get really low, switch to caster, barkskin and use a regrowth or max rank HT.

Kommentar von perunaion

I was able to kite him all the way back to Eco-Dome Midrealm, he is immune to roots. Just dot and run, dot and run. He moves pretty quickly given his size, so if you don't have (ghost/travel/cheetah/persuit of justice/etc) he might be more difficult to take this way.

Kommentar von Telasero

Solod as a 31/0/30 Paladin

Walk backwards holy shock and judge, and he goes down pretty well, bubbled once healed and used a heal potion at the end

Kommentar von 23478

It CAN be solo'ed by prot warr, used 1 pot, breadth trink and last stand , did die in the end , was left with 400 hp , but able 2 loot...

Kommentar von Ozeeba

Solo'd as a 70 Affliction Warlock. Send in VW, full dots, keep your instants in reserve till you pull aggro (and you will)...nuke away...(soul fire was actually useful)...shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt...pull aggro...Sac the VW, refresh dots...use all your instants, AOE fear the adds...Drain Life till he's dead. Be sure to SS yourself, just in case his adds come back and you can't get away so that you don't have to corpse run.

Kommentar von 2717

Soloed as a 70 Ele Shaman, I am pretty sure that most classes should have a trick in their bag that will allow them to solo this guy.

For myself an Earth Elemental and Lightning Bolt Spam did the trick.

Kommentar von 36646

Soloed him as lvl 70 prot warrior. I have one epic and that's the Violet Signet. Easymode, i just sundered him to 5 stacks, then spammed shield slam and devastate and used trinket + shield block as often as possible. When he had 2 adds, i feared them and just kept hitting him.. had to use Last Stand and i died at adds, but at least i got him. ;) took like 5 min :P

Kommentar von benedice

58,86 is the turn-in location.

Kommentar von 29635

I just tried doing this quest and when i go to turn in the guy pops up and dissappears real fast.. is it bugged or am i missing something here?? 3/30/07

Kommentar von 12909

Easily done as a 43/11/7 Paladin with about 600 Spelldmg. Judging Righteousness/Holy Shock/Consecration whenever they are up, then a Shield/Divine Favor heal when needed and he is no problem at all. The consecration takes care of the small adds.

Kommentar von Xanit

Soloed by level 70 hunter, cake just take em across the bridge pull out pet FD and bam dead.

Kommentar von 16311

Protection paladin can do this no problem. As the little elites spawn, its gets even better due to more Reckoning procs. Just alternate SoL/JoL and you'll be fine.

Kommentar von d4fF

Easy as a hunter... just kite him over the bridge using serpent sting and arcane shot. over the bridge... round some stone circles and back over the bridge...

He's quite fast so use cheetah.

at 50% or so... call pet for some extra damage.

Kommentar von 34116

Solo'd as a 70 Combat fist rogue. Evasion/Blade flurry/AR and one pot. Vanished at the end

Kommentar von Nerisatra

It can easily be kited as a hunter. Run arround in circles so he doesn't get too far away from his spawn and eventually evade.
I did it by the road just north of the bridge everyone is talking about. No mobs there! You can easily keep both Apex and the adds at a distance with aspect of the cheetah.
He's immune to concussive shot

Kommentar von 22318

I had a hard time as a 70 frost mage -- his first hit killed my ice barrier and he was immune to frost nova. Without being able to sheep or freeze down the adds, it was just too much of a beating to survive :(

Kommentar von 42750

Soloed with my 40/0/21pally judgement of the crusader then to seal of vengence with healing weapon and sheild. Sanctity aura w/Blessing of light on me healing through th damage stunning when possible. Took down adds after he was dead. Not hard.

Kommentar von 2851

The pre-requisite for this quest is:
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10176

Kommentar von 38680

41/0/20 arcane - frost mage, soloed. You're basically running the entire time poping everything you;ve got. I killed him with about 200 hp left and used a major health pop as well. As he gets smaller and divides he gets alot slower so it's easier to run and dps.

Kommentar von 20040

Do we really need so many "Solo'd this as..." replies? We get it, he can be solo'd, congratulations. Once you get the crystal you gotta go back down south to the tower and use it near the orb, which is at the top of the tower next to the Archmage. Tower is 58, 86.

Kommentar von gretten

Easily soloed as a 70 affliction-warlock, just draintanked him and feared his adds.

Kommentar von 47072

Soloed paladin holy (45/16/0)

Kommentar von 30345

To the above poster... yes actually some people like seeing that it can be solo'd by their class, let me guess your alliance and have endless offers for groups right? On horde its a little different.

Anyways... Solo'd 69 Demo Warlock, killed adds and didnt even fear... gg

Kommentar von 34517

Kited to death as a mage. Fireblast, run, fireblast, run, blink when you can. Brought him almost all the way to Stormspire before he died.

Kommentar von 51173

Just soloed this one as lvl 70 frost mage, when adds spawn just frost nova them and run away from them - He is at 53.67

Kommentar von Suhov

He is kiteable. Kited him to nears Echo dome then find some players wich help =)

Kommentar von Antec91

Soloed with elemental shaman, used earth elemental totem. Used only lightning bolt and about every 10 secs i healed my pet. And that was it.

Kommentar von atjoo

Coordinates: 53, 67
Corpse can be mined after he is killed, he summons some small rock dudes they can be feared. Soloed him as a lvl 70 arms/fury pvp specc warrior, pretty easy. :D

Kommentar von 57225

soloed as 70 shadow priest. opened up with PWS->VT...strafe away...SWP->VE....MF, MF, MB....

shielded and feared adds as he broke apart. Had to use a health pot but was able to SWD him at the end, looted and ran away from little guys.

Kommentar von 11342

I find the 'Solo'd as...' comments helpful as finding a group can sometimes be a real pain.
Giving it a go on my 70 Prot Pally.

Kommentar von 61679

he is kiteable indeed so i soloed him (70 hunter)

Kommentar von cece

70 Affliction/Demo Warlock

Siphon Life, Corruption, CoA, Immolate

I used Life Tap often while I kept my void up using Health Funnel (improved). When the small guys spawned, I drew aggro using DoT's and continued to reapply DoT's while Health Funneling the void.

Took a while, used 1 improved HS, but he went down.

Kommentar von 12563

Soloable as a Level 70 Combat Rogue. Had to use all the cooldowns and even vanish to get rid of his adds. It's probably an S-ranked mob =)

Kommentar von 65910

Soloed by 68 ele shammy
had to use earth elemental, but he took agro of adds and Apex himself. I then just spammed lightning, but I went oom after i took him down, forcing me to run from the adds. Fairly easy, but slightly difficult.

Kommentar von rothbart

He is IMMUNE to concussive shot, freezing trap, and wingclip. but, he's easy regardless. as a 70 marks/ survival hunter, i was able to mend pet and keep him near full even with an add on him, atleast one of the adds will surely aggro to you when mend pet ticks, but you just trap him and keep shooting, very easy at 70.

Kommentar von 62369

soloed as a 70 feral druid in bear form - just use frenzied regeneration and go out to normal form and heal sometimes

Kommentar von Agnome

Did it as a Aff/Demo lock:
Dot
Soul shatter
Drain life
HoT the spawns
Sac the vw when low hp
Done

Kommentar von 73436

Cool, i'll try solo'ng as a sm/ruin lock

Kommentar von 50031

Soloed as 68 Affli warlock. 8200 hp. Didnt use immolate, just the other ones, and did soulshatter. Feared the adds.

Escaped with the quest-item and 820 hp left.

Kommentar von 66438

soloed him on my 70 sealed fate rogue. deadly poison on both weapons. i couldn't escape adds and i had no more pots. popped two 200 ap trinkets + SnD and bladeflurry. just got lucky with dodges after evasion faded... but the adds killed me. envenom really does it though, better than eviscerate when set up imo.

Kommentar von 72048

Hmm, i have the quest, i look for him, find him, kill him...BUT didn't get any crystal...?
Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT- Lol, my cousin was in a party with me and she most of switched us to raid, so that's why i didn't get the crystal.
She left while i was making another attempt of getting the crystal and it was only then that i saw the message of raid.

Did it as a lvl 70 prot warrior. I suggest you switch to def stance, when all 3 adds are there. For shieldblock and revenge will be up most of the time. Best thing is to wait, till all 3 adds are there and then pop intim shout. Just had to use a pot and ran after i killed and looted Apex.

Kommentar von madag

Managed to solo as a 41/20/0 affliction lock. Started near the path at 51,67. Sent the void walker in, dot him up with UA, all instant dots, and spam a few shadowbolts. When the vw is about 50% or so health and starts to lsoe agro, run down the hill and tell the vw to follow. Keep the DoTs on him as you run. Whenever an instant DoT is up, recast. When he starts to hit on you, sac the vw for shield. Keep running, use Healthstone as you're soing so. Paused briefly to fast-summon another vw and sac'd again.

If you keep moving, the adds don't follow.

Kommentar von mcbobo

easy solo prot war

Kommentar von 90661

soloed as 70 frost mage

Kommentar von Russius

Spawns 3 "Apex Crumbler" mobs at varying levels of hp. They themselves have approximately 6k hp.

Kommentar von 73474

Solo'd him on the first try as a 70 fury warrior. Used a pot after downing apex then dealt with the adds. Took like 2 minutes or so was all.

Cake.

Kommentar von 40632

easy soloed with lvl 70 combat sword rogue. stunable.

Kommentar von 93981

Just did this with my 70 Frost mage.
I made my Elemental attack Apex while I ran off to the side of him. By the time my Ele hit him I was far enough away to volley Agro between me and my Elemental. I had to eventually pop cold snap due to the little mini apex's spawn and then rinse repeat with the elemental volley. I used my elemental's distance nova to stop the mini Apex spawn.

Frost Nova does not work on Apex. It works on the crumblers he spawns.

Kommentar von 40223

Just solo'd it as a Holy Paladin.

Kommentar von 29865

Just solo'd as a 70 resto Shaman. My fire elemental basically kept the first add off me while I just dps'd him down, which would have been even faster if I were still elemental-spec. I did have to pull out all my good tricks--Mana Tide, Bloodlust, and Earth Shield, but nothing unusual. I had to do a big heal toward the end, but basically he wasn't too much of a problem. Not hard at all for me.

Kommentar von 16904

Kitable with Cheetah as a Hunter.

Kommentar von 71236

Soloed him as a BM Hunter level 69. No special gear and no kiting. Just hit him with all I got. The adds do very little damage and I basically ignored them until Apex was down. Didn't even need a heal potion...

Kommentar von 106426

This guys is very soloable, did as a 70 ele sham, popped fire elemental and burned him down.

Kommentar von davfett

Easy solo as lvl 70 Warlock. I am demonolgy so I sent in Felguard and dropped DoTs on Apex. Just used Health Funnel to keep pet alive and re-dotted as they ran out. Very easy fight.

Kommentar von 108577

I dont know how but i soloed it as a level 68 feral druid. Done the easy stuff, farie fire/charge mangle mangle, maul maul. didnt pay attention to the adds, war stomped to heal then bear again and got him down. Then barkskin to heal again and finished off the adds.

Kommentar von 94857

Soloed with 70 ele shaman, 3 gladiators and blues. lanted earth ele totem, elem mastery, berserkering and healed earth ele 2 times.. Pretty easy

Kommentar von 119338

solod him, a warp chaser, a swiftwing and 3 of his spawns. yeah, 70 prot pally ftw.

Kommentar von anvano

Soloed by Shadow Priest. By taking damage he reduce his size and spawn adds. Adds are fearable. Thunderclap - dispellable.
Just hold all dots on , shield, fear adds.

Kommentar von 105782

Pice of cake for a green geared prot pally, healed once and finished the battle with half of my mana and 2/3 of my hp left which leads me to suspect that this is soloable by any class.

Kommentar von 134522

Hits quite hard, was able to solo quite easily as a 70 rogue, pop evasion and kidney shot. Used blade fury when smaller dudes showed up.

Kommentar von 93128

Soloed as 70 T4-T5 Fire mage. Just popped mana shield, went to max range and Fireballed him down to about 25%, then AOEed to finish him off and take care of the adds... But... He didn't drop the crystal...

Killed him again, still didn't drop...

Dropped quest, picked it back up, kill him AGAIN, no drop...

<edit>
It was in my bank... apparently I'd already killed him before...
/tar Cosmix
/facepalm

Kommentar von 133480

Same thing happened to me, killed him twice and no drop.

Kommentar von 120156

Possible Matrix reference here- In Reloaded, Neo must find the Keymaker. Apex's name may be a play on Apoc, one of Neo's companions in the first movie.

Kommentar von jgilmore8

Solo'd as a 70 combat-swords rogue. Ran up full combo points for S&D, ran up full combo points for Rupture, kept the SS going. Blade flurry when adds showed up. Done.

Kommentar von 40292

Ye this is very nice. I can solo at him also easy. 70 lvl mage S3 geared. But he dont drop Crystal, drop only . Kill him 3-4 times, try to abandon quest and pick up again, but no crystal... :(

Kommentar von 27750

Just solo'd him as a lvl 70 frost mage with crappy gear. He is immune to frost nova but his adds are not. So i started with frostbolts and pet, then i kited him as far as it took to down him, with pet frost nova the adds...

Kommentar von 86590

To all the people who think they are having trouble getting it to drop:

Make sure that you haven't killed Apex on an earlier occasion. The quest status will not change once you loot Apex's Crystal Focus. I forgot that I killed him and couldn't understand why the quest wasn't completed until I thoroughly went through my bags and found the drop.

Kommentar von 69138

Found him.

The name of this quest could possibly be a reference to Ghostbusters.. Who knows?

Kommentar von sgtsolidus

solo'd this as an MM hunter. I can guess it wouldve been much easier as a BM hunter as i finished the fight with only 200 health left. just had pet engage Apex and DPSed im down. when he spawned his adds i just used traps to cc them and feigned death to lose them. Used no pots or bandages.

Kommentar von 158239

Solo'd him as a level 69 BM hunter. Was easy, but I must say, it would be easier, if you could pull him away from those warpstalkers, as they do aggro, and fighting 2 is worse than one. But nonetheless, solo'd him and got the orb.

Jessebelle.
Caelstrasz.

Kommentar von Lorielle

I have to say this is the EASIEST quest i've ever done for killing an elite.

I soled him as a 69 enh shaman with crappy green gear. I have almost 6k hps and was never in danger of dying.

I used my earth elemental and only had to heal him once, altho i think he would of been fine without the heal.
He lasted until the last add was killed and I still had 1/2 my mana. =)

Kommentar von 162928

Solo'd as a 70 frost mage.
Had some problem with him since he's not getting slowed by frostbolts, he is also immun to frost nova and freeze (elementals "frost nova").
Had to pop some cd's, ice block, elemental, Icy veins and cold snap.
Abit hard, but still doable.

Kommentar von itsbth

Soloed as a 70 feral druid. Used mangle and lacerate while moving backwards, two out of three adds aggroed me. Killed him with 50% health left, no healing.

Kommentar von 127854

Really easy for a 69 feral druid :>
Just kill adds when they spawn

Kommentar von 174349

Confirm coordonates, and can be handle by an hunter, but do not lost your time, only 150hp when he died

Kommentar von Allakhazam

51,68

Kommentar von Allakhazam

этот пидор дважды меня убил

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Pretty well geared prot tank (good blues).

Simply outlasted them, didnt have to use anything special or any trinkets.

Just sat back and spammed Heroic strike, shield block, counter strike, and shield slam and he went down before i did.

Had about 2.5k hp left of 10.6k.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Reiterating Liandora's post....51,68 is the perfect spot to wait.

Cannot say if my experience was the norm; but if it was, loot Apex immediately after he goes down.....ignore all else to do so.

First time I just kept figting until all the mobs were dead.....went over to loot and the corpse had vanished....

Had to do it all over again...this time I looted him right after his death and got the crystal and only then took care of the rest.

solo'ed Apex although 3 horde were waiting to do it then helped me with the 3 little respawns...thx some horde are ok. kept using seal of wisdom and healing myself...took about 5min. to down Apex

Kommentar von Allakhazam

pretty ez for demo. lock
solo at 69 undead lock (19/41/0) let the void tank, just dots, and heal the pet, but where is the orb at ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

yeah I know we got it easy.

use track giants, don't need coords

put freeze trap, engage, bestial wrath if you got it. bring him down as fast as possible. trap one breakaway, back up keep firing. trap again when cooldown is up. keep mend pet up.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solod it as a mage. Not that hard, really.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Immune to all immobilizing effects, but still i can debuff with "slow" (top arcane spell). Drinked adepts, used flamecap, pyroblast, pow,ap,trink,pyro again, fireblast. Then kited along road filling up with fireblasts. at 20% just nuked.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

people whining about coords how about you go look for the stuff and come back and post the coords. whining and relying on others to do the work and crying about it is just lame.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Apex is pretty fun to fight.

Has about 26K HP.

solo'd as a 70 demo lock

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy , solod him with lv 70 frost mage .

Kommentar von Allakhazam

wait at the bridge at about 51,68. he pats back and forth. if you wait here you can ranged pull without adds.

Decent solo. probably easy with 2

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a 69 Prot Pally, mostly greens, and I solo'd him... barely.

Pulled him with Avenger's Shield. Seal of Light judged and resealed several times. Healed 3 times, bubble/bandage once, one health pot. I had to use Lay on Hands while fighting the spawns. I would've healed more, but I've gone mainly for stamina (for 10k hp) and not intellect so I only have 4k mana.

The fight took a while, and I couldn't mine the kill because Apex had respawned and was heading right for me. LOL!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Killed solo as an affliction lock, drain tank and let the VW aggro the adds... worked wondefully

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd him as a 70 combat rogue, had to use my cooldowns, no pots though, vanished at the end and the little guys disappear.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This guy was easy as a 70 frost mage. 1400+ frost bolts non-crit just so you know what kind of damage I was doing. Popped my WE at the start used cold snap to pop a second. He doesn't seem to have a lot of hit points and he only got 2 adds off before I killed him. I was kiting him so one of them didn't even aggro to me. The other one got on my WE who was behind us. Not a hard guy to take down.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Had a couple of goes at soloing him, level 70 defensive (er...) NE warrior, first time had to lose him by running onto the bridge as he was just smacking me down. Switched gear the second time but that looked like it was going pear shaped too, 'til a passing Undead 'lock sent his voidy in and helped me out. Very civilised. Warriors, unless you're high dps if you can get two, do it with two. ;-)

Don't care if you soloed it or not, a destro lock can solo all 3 man quests. Just give coords...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as a lvl 70. Immune to chills, so I used water elemental at the start to take aggro, then kited him over the bridge with ice lance and fireblast, used cold snap to bring water elemental out again at the end to help finish him.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed him being a warrior. It surely helped to dualwield a pair of Stellaris and some random blues from instances.
Yet I just nuked the giant and waited 3-4 secs after the minions spawned, feared them and kept nuking him.
Useless to say that yes, I got him down, tho the adds gave me the rest afterwards. Just run back asap and loot him - done.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

you need some serious DPS to take this guy down alone. like all giants he spawns adds as his health goes and they get on you and add to his damage. I got to about 50% on a demo lock before his adds became too much for me and caused me to die.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd as shadow priest

do all the standard buffs, and shield, wait for weaken debuff to expire.
starts the fight with blast, pain, flay, blast, shield, blast, repeat.

after 3 adds, psychic scream, focus on apex only, when he dead, instant loot and run till leave combat. xD

I also think you should just give the coords. I like to know where to find him getting something killed is never a problem (lvl69 shammy)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lvl 70 resto shammy...soloed him without using any pots...blue/green equip! used 80% of my mana... at the end of the combat got full life and 20% mana!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd on my 70 pally (prot spec) without a single bubble, heal or pot - Blessing of Sanctuary, judge Seal of Light, keep up Seal of Crusader and Holy Shield all the time and you're gold.

...had to call in additional help on my rogue :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

51.69 big rock guy named Apex he spawns little rock guys as you kill him and then you use the item he drops by the Wizard guy at the Violet Tower at 58.86 on the orb behind him i did it with a mage both of us 70 pretty simple

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried with my 68 combat rogue, no HPots. i got him to about half before i vanished out

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just solo'd as a 70 holy paladin, wore a shield and kept seal of wisdom on him and me all times - use my LoH on the adds and used a mana pot and one health pot (super) and it was.. fun! didn't take 5mins.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Pretty easy to solo as a lvl 69 hunter.

He is only a lvl 67 elite so that wasn't realy that difficult.

Just used the usual tactics:

Put up a trap on the spot you want him.
Pull him over the trap.
Prepare for the fight.
Send in pet.
Cast mend pet.
Cast bestial wrath.
Cast rapid fire.
Start normal shot rotation = steady shot + auto shot.

And thats all there is to it. Taking care off the adds is pretty easy. The first one that you aggro, you trap. The second one you can let bash on you and be a small tank. Then, when the third one comes you just feign death. Now the big one should be almost down and just finish the job.

I finish the boss with me at 76% HP and like 35% mana. My pet however was still at 96% HP so killing the adds afterwards was pretty easy aswell.

I had trouble finding him at first though. I looked here on allahazam and it said it was a level 71 humanoid so i was tracking humanoids. Didn't get any in that area so i was like "wtf" but then i saw a big rocky guy running and bingo. :p

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Респект! :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solod him as a 70 hunter very easy, just wait for him to walk near the road en begin to kite him then over the bridge, build up some agro send your pet in en keep kiting, wathc out for sunfury hold tough=P, adds are easly killed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easily solo'd as a feral druid. Didn't die.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solod on my mage, hit trinket, arcane power, pyro, pom pyro, fireblast, cone of cold, then finished him (and adds) with arcane explosion, less than 30 seconds.

Kinda hard solo, immune to fear but not stun.
Spawns adds like all giants do nowadays.
Still killed solo as shadowpriest.

Leads too

Probably it's easy-mode for any class except warriors and rogues.

But I could solo him as lvl 69 combat rogue (green/blue geared), but died from adds at the end.

I used kidney shot almost at begin and bandaged.
Expose armor + Slice n Dice helped here too.
Used Evasion and other CDs only when there were at least 2 adds.
Had to use HP potion too of course.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

70 warrior with blues took him down, not hard at all, just spamm commanding shout and hit him...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just spam CS guys and u are literally immortal^^

Soloed as a demonology lock. Just kept dotting and healing pet, then dealt with the adds once Apex was dead.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hunters: Put on Cheetah and make sure your pet doesn't get aggro. Just keep kiting him over the bridge near where the bloodelves are. If you go fast enough, you'll leave his little "spawns" behind and they won't try and attack you.

When I say kiting I don't mean wingclip/concussion shot. He's immune.

Cord 51, 68 confirmed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Apex is found roaming from 51, 70 to 52, 69. This is in front of the bridge LEADING to Manaforge Coruu.

Not too hard of a fight, even for me, a badly-geared shadow priest - he spawns two small adds which you can easily get away from after the kill by running a little ways onto the bridge. Hits for 300-400 on cloth.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd as a 70 mellee shamane.

and with an additional 3 adds: 1 warp chase, 1 mana snapper and 1 swifting shredder.

and i didnt use any pot

very easy mob

Kommentar von fireboy

For anyone doing this in 2021, I solo'ed this pretty easily on a mostly Kara geared Affliction Warlock. Send in VoidWalker, then DoT and blow him up. I did a Howl of Terror after killing him and moved on over the bridge. Easy peasy.

Beschreibung

Wenn ich zurückblicke, hätte ich eigentlich wissen müssen, dass Kael'thas' Magie so widerstandsfähig ist. Er war schon immer ein talentierter Magier, aber nie zuvor habe ich etwas so Mächtiges gesehen, wie die Magie, die er beim Angriff auf den Turm gewirkt hat.

Der Schutzschild verhindert, dass ich die Macht, die er aufrecht erhält, ausspionieren kann, aber Ihr könnt das trotzdem.

Ihr werdet jedoch einen Fokus brauchen. Apex, ein Riese, der Kristalle mit sich herumträgt, streift auf den Weiten westlich der Manaschmiede Duro umher. Einer seiner Kristalle würde einen ausgezeichneten Fokus abgeben.
