Good luck. Comment by Here's my strategy for a Holy Priest to solo. I was level 71 in mostly quest gear. The fight for you will have two phases- the first phase is when Thassarian has aggro, and the second phase starts when you get aggro. First phase is quick, with the second phase being the majority of the fight. How well you can manage your mana is what will win or lose you this fight. Phase 1: Let Thassarian get initial aggro. He will do the vast majority of the damage throughout both phases, and you won't really need to keep an eye on his health, as after about the first seconds you will generate enough hate to get aggro.
How much you heal him determines how long this phase lasts. Phase 2: LOS Kiting When you get aggro, the boss mob will stay at range and pelt you with lifedrain bolts, an occasional instant shadow attack, and a channeled damage reflect.
Your main tool in this fight is the two ramps. When the boss is in the middle platform you only have to nudge yourself a little below the top of the ramp in order to break the line of sight.
When he is casting his only spell with a cast time, quickly break los with a few steps backward. The instant he stops casting, nudge yourself back in to los. Repeat as necessary. If he channels the reflect, just stay in los until he starts casting a bolt, then nudge yourself back down. Eventually he will get too close to the ramp for you to do this anymore, so cast Power Word: Shield and run across to the other ramp. Cast the shield because his life drain bolts won't drain life from your shield.
When you get to the other ramp, just repeat the whole process. Heal Tanking A priest and his friends lives on his mana pool, and in this fight you need to buy enough time for Thassarian to kill the boss mob. Renew was my main heal, and the occasional Gheal, as well as PW: Shield when travelling between ramps. My best advice is to maximize both the damage you heal with renew and your time outside the Five Second Rule.
Throw the occasional SW:P mana permitting. Comment by Just a little side-note after you succeed, stay off the ramps on the sides of the top floor where you battle Valanar.
They LOOK walkable, but you'll just A LOT! Comment by it's realy easy quest! Comment by just did this on 74 blood dk, tanked in frost presence, didnt run around, fought him with melee and held aggro over thassarian, all i did was make sure had my ghoul out ready for sacrifice , mark of blood on valanar, vampiric blood, and and used rune tap and anti magic shell whenever not on cd, easy.
Comment by Psychowolf Should be an easy solo for any warlock. Comment by I soloed this guy as 70 ret paladin en epic gear having all the aggro. Comment by Rankkor kinda unfair how the horde version of this quest is much much harder, not only we gotta kill 3 elites instead of 1, but we also lack the support of an elite DK Npc. Comment by Armonis Move along holy pallies. No reward here for you.
Comment by Soloed with a resto druid lv Surprisingly no matter how hard I heal Thassarian, he can always keep the aggro. Basically I just keep healing Thassarian while he does all the damage. His dps is really low, so you'll probably need a mana pot, innervate and good mp5 in order to not run oom before Thassarian finishes off the prince. However there's no feral weapon reward and the caster staves are no better than my heirloom hammer Also, why hasn't anyone talked about the plot I know it's kinda obvious and all, but quotes like "It is clear I'm not welcome among my comrades anymore.
I will have to find my own way, fighting no wars but my own and following no orders but my heart's" are still well written. Comment by LOL lack of feral staff. Comment by s20mike I thought this was a brilliantly written set piece - great dialogue, great drama. Really hoping to see more of the same throughout Northrend :D.
Comment by Horde quest equivalent is to walk to Taunka'le village. Alliance version is a 3 man boss fight. Comment by Credit to all the posters above for giving great tactics and tips. Used most of my cooldowns to keep alive, but was wearing quest greens and a couple of blues, no enchants, pots, flasks etc. Just judged light with SoC and spammed flash heals.
Let Thassarian do most of the killing. Comment by RedHazeKiwi Soloed it on my 69 gnome death knight, I died once but had time to run back and continue the fight before the human died.
DS to heal back up fast, had to use a pot also, used AMS, I managed to survive the end by 'avoiding' the vampiric bolts through going down the stairs to los them. You can still do it at 69 but it's harder and somewhat luck based. Comment by Just solo'd this on my hunter. Here is a tip for those who bought the Cold Weather Flying heirloom.
If you die in the middle of the fight- quickly release your spirit and fly back up to the top and port up- Thassarian will still be fighting Prince Valanar and you can still get credit if you kill him before Thassarian dies. I did it and it worked! Comment by Soloed as 69 enha shaman Comment by Soloed as an average geared lvl 70 prot pala. Comment by friedchicken17 Failed to solo as a 72 balance druid when my antivirus program decided to take over all CPU usage.
Comment by rottenzombie Well either blizzard chagned this quest or I did something wrong. I remember Thassarian used to be able to take quite a lot of hits when I did it on my main back when WLK launched. Now when I just tried it with my alt, he dies much quicker than I remembered. Comment by Cheri Soloed this as a 72 combat rogue in heirlooms but I had the cold weather flying tome. Pop evasion and damage him as much as possible until you get low on health. The longer you last a healing potion works great but I didn't have one , the better.
When you get low on health, vanish and heal up with a bandage. At this point you want to keep feint permanently on cooldown while you let Thassarian tank the rest of the encounter. If you have the cold weather flying tome, you're not totally out of luck if you die. I died, release, and flew back and the fight was still going. I managed to down the guy about 5 seconds after Thassarian died. You won't see the ending but you'll still get credit.
Fly down to the ziggurat you got the quest from and turn it in. Comment by Ridiculously easy to solo has a Death Knight. Stop attacking, then continue. I only used Rune Tap a few times. I couldn't find the second portal at first and cleared the room before I finally figured out where the second portal was I should have known! I thought it was going to be hard, but clearing the first unnecessary zone without Thassarian was harder than the little fight upstairs.
If you can heal Thass, it will surely make a difference. He went low on health a few times and I feared he would die. Comment by soloed on first try with my 72 demo lock.
Comment by SolarSoda Realizing this is several patches after the fact, here's my two cents: I'm a level 70 demonology warlock. I will admit I held my breath for a minute there when my pet's health got down to below , so I just focused on keeping him alive and it worked. I accomplished this solo.
I will say I think Fel Armor played a role in my survivability, however small. The health regen rate may be small but it adds up, not to mention the added spell power you get from it. Comment by Just soloed this with a 71 Blood Death Knight. Let Thassarian dps a little but make sure u make some runic power then u start dpsing with Dancing Rune Weapon. When u get the aggro just spam death strike and rune tap.
If u get on low life - vampiric blood death strike Raise dead and death pact. When he does the spell that reflects ur spells continue spamming death strike and heart strike but dont do you diseases.
U could first aid while he's channeling that spell too. Try to time some of his 2k hitting spell with Anti-Magic Shell. Comment by A Draenie Hunter lvl 71, and my Draenie Shaman lvl 71, did this easily with the aid of a pet. No problem :.
Comment by WTH, when i go up there the guy isnt there im standing next to Thassarian and there is no guy wat do i have to do? Comment by just soloed this as an arcane mage, I dont recommend you try it because its hard as hell. Comment by Breakfirst Hehe Thass heals himself from it, but takes HUGE ammounts of dam all of a sudden.. Watched him die 3 times, and decided to try tanking him myself..
To remember: Try avoid melee range, espc. Put on Righteous fury, so Thass will hammer away, without killing himself : Doing it like this, you should easily could take him down : Retri Pala's don't really need mana.. Comment by What's the Horde version of this quest called? Comment by It is pretty comfortable solo for a Draenei Prot Pala when you know the tactics.
Did it throughout with Shadow Resistance Aura for Valanar's magic attacks ; Seal of Wisdom for mana regen and with Blessing of Sanctuary on myself and Thassarian I spanked Valanar with a JoL as soon the green light went off, exactly where he stands, and that, and auto-attack were the only offensive abilities i used throughout which felt like being level 10 again.
Defensive abilities used were the Draenei Racial "Gift of the Naruu" with a 3 min cooldown and Devine Protection, talented down to 2mins. I just rotated the two of these through out the fight. I did use a mana-pot at some point, toward the end, but it was pretty comfortable, and Thassarian was at pretty much full health at the end. Just keep up JoL, auto-attack between reflects and spam heal yourself with FoL ftw. Happy hunting! Comment by Tacgnolol This quest is now super easy to solo for any class, provided you have cold weather flying available at 68 with the tome Just give Thassarian a wee bit of aggro time then go to town, when you die, fly back up.
Thassarian Will still have plenty of health, took me two death as a 72 elemental shaman. Comment by Solo'd this as a level 70 Paladin, just let Thassarian tank him at first, then use Avenging wrath and trinkets you have dps him down, use Gift of the Naruu if your a dreanei Then every time Art of the War pops up, use it to do a flash of light!
Heal yourself when he is soul channeling.. Use bubble when needed.. I did it without LoH! Comment by Did it with a 69 Arcane Mage and 70 Destruction Lock, both of us in mostly greens with a few outlands blues mixed in. We started out by having Thassarian tank him, with my voidwalker out taunts off and I was soulstoned. He the mage just blew everything in his arsenal and beat on Valanar, while I threw Curse of Doom on Valanar and let Thassarian pick up some threat lead before I launched into my rotation.
When I pulled aggro off of Thassarian, I simply popped Sacrifice to soak a good chunk of the damage and continued blasting him until I died, then I SS popped and continued dpsing on him.
It took 2 tries, but it worked. Hope this helps someone else. Comment by Caoso Just solo'd as a 72 shadow priest. Keep your bubble and all dots up, watch for the damage reflect and use your shadowfiend and dispersion well and its really not so bad. Comment by Aros After activating this event by talking to Thassarian an image of the Lich King and Counselor Talbot walk towards each other. When they meet Talbot transformes into Prince Valanar. Thassarian yells: Leryssa!
Thassarian yells: What have you done to my sister, you motherless elf scum! Image of the Lich King says: Now this is a surprise, Thassarian.
I hadn't heard from Mograine or the other deathknights for months. You've come to rejoin the Scourge, I take it? Thassarian says: I would sooner slit my own throat. You will pay for what you did to your own men, Arthas I swear it.
Prince Valanar says: Allow me to take care of the intruders, lord. I will feed their entrails to the maggots. Image of the Lich King says: Do not fail me, San'layn.
Return to Icecrown with this fool's head or do not bother to return. Prince Valanar says: Yes, my lord! The fight begins. General Arlos says: Ugh! My head won't stop spinning Leryssa yells: Thassarian! You're alive! Thassarian says: Leryssa Leryssa says: I thought I thought you were Thassarian says: I cannot return home with you just yet, Leryssa.
I am not quite done with the Scourge. Leryssa says: Don't leave me again! You want to fight for your country, but they don't even want you!
They sent you here to die! Thassarian says: You might be right, sister. My obligations to my land and King have been fulfilled. Leryssa says: I know that look in your eye I'm not going to be able to talk you out of this. If you die on me again Thassarian says: Do not worry, Leryssa. I will come back to you when I am done. Nothing in the world will stop me from coming home to the only family that I have left.
Comment by As of patch 3. It's still soloable, but don't let Thassarian tank or he'll die and the boss will disappear. Comment by Even if you die, you can still solo this if you have cold weather flying.
I quickly flew back and the encounter was still going on because thassarian was still alive. Then it was easy to finish him off the rest of the way. Comment by i just solo this quest with my level 72 elemental shaman. Comment by Solo'd as a 71 affliction lock in outland dungeon blues, and nr quest greens. Started with voidwalker out, to play hot potato at the beginning with Thass for threat.
Casted haunt, then corruption, CoA, and Unstable Afflic. During the first spell deflect casted Shadow ward to absorb dmg form my curses. Have ss on you, and a healthstone and health pot handy, as you will need all three. Death coil also helps ya last a bit longer. Now odds are, you are going to die.
When you do, rez with the ss. Start nuking Val as much as you can, and pull out your infernal. Keep your dots up, and if you are afflic, keep haunt on him at all times. Took me a few tries, but once I got it down it was relatively simple. Up until the first Soul Reflection I just let my Ghoul and Thassarian plink away at him after an initial white hit to enter combat. After that I was able to 'kite' him by going down to the lower area and running left-right-left-right switching his shortest path to me between two ramps, preventing him from ever reaching me or even obtaining LoS.
I messed up once or twice and popped AMS to deal with the casts he got off before I could re-situate myself. The first time I did this I had to Sac my pet and I didn't deal enough damage to receive credit for the kill, so your pet is instrumental here. Just make sure you have a decent threat lead on Thassarian before you begin to kite. Comment by Pretty straight forward fight as a Demonology Warlock at level Fel guard held aggro all the time, the death knight and pet dealt all of the damage I threw couple of shadow bolts here and there and I just kept the pet's hp topped.
Not sure if there were any changes to the fight, somehow I recall him summoning some adds or something, though I'm probably wrong. Edit: Had about spell power, if someone finds use for that information. Comment by karakye tried soloing as a fury warrior and no go Comment by geniusdude i 2 manned this with 2 hunters i had quest greens and the other hunter was in mostly outland greens we both put snake, frost, and immo trap as he said the thing about sllitting his own throat also had well fed buffs was HARD took like tries.
Comment by ChairmanKaga A pretty surefire method for any warlock to solo this. It should work with any spec also -- I was full Affliction but this method doesn't involve Affliction spells at all.
Get out your trusty old Voidwalker and send him in as soon as the fight starts. Open with a single direct damage spell on Valanar. This is important, as you not your pet must deal some damage to him or you will not get credit for the kill or the quest! I learned this the hard way, so I got a second chance to practice this method. Once you've locked in your credit, do nothing but keep Health Funnel up on your voidwalker for the entire fight.
Soul Reflection is your friend with this method, as Valanar stops attacking while he channels it, and you should easily be able to top off your pet during that time the damage Voidie takes from SR is pitiful, you will heal right through it. You take no damage at all from SR, as you're not actually hitting Valanar. Have at least two instant heals a Healthstone and a healing potion ready for when you get low on health, so you don't have to break off the Health Funnel for too long.
Even untalented, the voidwalker should easily hold threat for the entire fight, ensuring that Thassarian stays up another requirement of the quest. This method is slow took just under 5 minutes to kill him but it is sure. I suppose once he gets down to 30k HP or so you could just burn him down, but I chose not to risk a mistake and continued with the Health Funnel for the entire fight.
Comment by Solod it on my lvl 72 shadow priest really easy quest you have Thassarian there helping you. Nuff said. Comment by Easiest way to solo this is to go up there expecting to die and get saved by an ungodly lost 80 horde priest. I mean, that's what I did. Comment by melktart I got so frustrated trying to figure out how to do this quest and get to Thassarian! After taking the first portal, I killed everything in the surrounding rooms, and couldn't figure out where he was.
After reading more here, people posted about taking a second portal. I spent a good minutes looking for it and couldn't for the life of me figure out where it was. I finally found it - above the first portal. I figured I'd make a movie of the quest from beginning to end , so that you can see exactly where the portals or "orbs" as the quest calls them are and what to do. Comment by Not exactly sure what happened, but Thassarian died so fast that I had no hope of getting this done alone.
He was dead in about 30 seconds which is several times faster than I ever remember him dying. This was after about 2 of his purple lightning attacks, during which I stayed back. I'll try again if I can find a group, but these days, that just doesn't happen.
Comment by When you finish killing the guy Thassarian is in the top and you can turn in your quest. If he dissapears because you took to long trying to figure out which item to get You can always find him back in the ziggarat where he was before.
Comment by lithi Soloed as an level 72 Enhancement Shaman, wasnt hard really. Feral Spirit for some extra DPS. Tried even using Wind Shear to decrease my aggro level, but no help really. Didnt need any additional help, buffs or potions at all. Comment by hippossa apparently..
Comment by lectrick In case you're wondering why the portal at the bottom won't port you up so you can help your friend finish Last Rites, it's because the portal only effing works if you have the Last Rites quest or have completed it i guess. Perhaps they did that to prevent you from seeing lore ahead of time? I don't know. Been through this lore on a few toons now though so it was just frustrating.
Comment by Naxxanar was merely a setback! Comment by This quest is very easy as an Affliction Warlock. The only tough part would be that Soul Deflection will make your DoTs that are on him damage you! Easy fix: Shadow Ward right before the fight and any time you can after that. Wouldn't stop Immolate, but all other DoTs won't hurt you when that goes up. Comment by Well I solo'd at lvl 71 pally in 1 epic 4 blues and rest greens.
As Holy speck I found that u must attack before Thassarian does or u just wont get enough aggro on him. U can take any spells used against you if u know what your doing. All in a days play. Comment by whitedragon Duoed by a elemental shaman and retadin both level This method can be used to solo him as well. Take the threat of Thassarian, put any damage increasing buffs on him and if you are duoing then this is much easier. Keep the threat on your self and stay by one of the ramps, have Show target's spell casting on.
When you see Vampiric Bolt, jump off the ramp below, it will cause LoS. Wait a second or two before beginnning to run to the adjacent ramp, when Vampiric bolt is being casted again, run up the ramp enough so you cannot see him, this will once again cause LoS. Repeat this, and becareful as it is almost impossible to not get hit by his instant shadow cast spell. If you can heal then use the time while he's casting Soul Reflection to healyour self up. Do not allow Thassarian to get the threat during this fight, if soloing it is entirely possible to hit him with a few instant cast ranged spells if you have them.
Comment by longueiro12 I soloed as a 73 Death Knight, specced blood, with nothing but death strike and rune tap, with some difficulty. Wearing half quest greens and blues. Here's what i did: I let thassarian hit him a bit. Then, i started hitting him with diseases and heart strike. Didn't summon runeblade coz it would eat me up on the reflect.
I kept at this till Thassarian started dying. Then, i pulled his aggro. After the battle, me being the lore freak i am, kept listening to the conversation between Thassarian and his sis. Because of that, i missed the chance to turn in the quest. Thassarian was missing a LOT there.
Comment by Aulisia I completed it with a level 72 balance druid even with out thalassian's help. Comment by iMathias Just solo'd as a 71 resto druid, heirloom geared. At starters it's not easy, I let thassarian do all the work at start, which isn't something you want intentionally cause of the debuff he gets. After a while I gained healing aggro. But that was easier then suspected.
Since the prince only uses his spells it's not hard to outheal them. And since your healing the debuff wont matter just let Thassarian hammer away. From this points it's just easy since the Prince is out of mana he wont be using his spells that often. Comment by Solo'd as a resto shaman with Earth Elemental Totem and heroism. If the earth totem dies, use your fire elemental totem.
Ended up needing a mana pot, but it was easy. Slow, but easy. Comment by Any mage that can give me some tips? I'm a frost lvl 70 mage and I really want to do this quest, any experience that might be of help? Comment by Psychotic Soloed as a level 74 Destruction Warlock first try , though would be a damn sight easier as Affliction or Demonology. I recommend being soulstoned during the fight.
I also was using a cookie-cutter level 80 spec and was not specced into Soul Leech. I used the Voidwalker as opposed to the Imp, made sure to keep Shadow Ward up as well.
Potions and Healthstones help, I also used my Voidwalkers Sacrifice ability. I fully expect Affliction Warlocks to solo it with great ease, Demonology Warlocks shouldn't have any problem if you use the Felguard right and pop Metamorphosis at the right time. Gearwise, I had the heirloom shoulders and chestpiece, heirloom trinkets, a few blues from the Nexus and some quests and the rest were quest greens.
I had roughly 11, health and 11, mana buffed with Fel Armor and Demonic Spellstone. Comment by llangevi My level 70 holy-spec priest did no damage at all, but focused on keeping Thassarian alive. He won't take down the boss very quickly, so be patient, keep your eye on your mana and his health. Treat it like an instance where the 3 DPS all wiped and it's up to you and the tank to finish this guy off, with the exception that at no point did I come to any harm no matter how hard I was healing.
I drank one mana pot and sent in Shadowfiend for more mana, and Thassarian won, hands down it would have been easier if he had better DPS and if I had better intellect gear! As a side-note, I also have a horde toon, and I have to say, that the Alliance version of fighting a single boss where you have an NPC tank is way easier than even considering soloing 3 elites as a healer priest! Comment by Soloed it as a lvl 71 resto shammy. Got dual spec and first time tried to do it as a elemental, but Thassarian died just in last seconds of fight.
If you fail the q just port down and then port back up, you don't have to abandon the q. Thass will be there again. Here is how I did it: 1. Enter the portal, you will get ported to Naxxaran or something like that. Do not attack anything, like someone mentioned elites on that floor are for similiar horde's quest.
After porting inside there is another portal just above you, enter it it's like Naxxramas and that portal to saphiron and kel. After entering the second portal you will get ported again and you will be standing next to Thassarian. Get prepared, eat, drink, etc.
After talking to Thassarian you will start mini in game scene but I won't do spoilers. When fight starts do not attack the prince. I've set focus on Thass and started to heal him I use healbot.
After few heals I got the aggro and I started healing myself till the prince went oom. That's the most important part, when he's out of mana he starts to melee attack you.
He doesn't cast vampire bolts that often thus doesn't heal himself that much. That's the moment when you can start dpsing, but watch out to not go oom. I just summoned fire elemental and healed them both elemental and Thassarian, they will need heals. I guess priest can have a problem, he didn't melee hit me that hard, but I got 6,8k armor and I used stoneskin totem as well. Fight lasted about 7 minutes, but wasn't that hard.
My gear is mostly ilvl blue items, 3 ilvl blue items from dungeons and 2 ilvl90 greens from outland. Hope this helps someone. Comment by I was able to solo this as a 72 ret pally - but it did take guru's elixir, kings, a healing potion, lay on hands and a lot of self healing.
I used the seal of wisdom to keep mana regen up because a LOT of mana is used to take this guy down. It was tricky, but doable. Comment by Soloed as a 68 Moonkin. Easiest quest I've ever done in the game! Just go in and kill the guy, nothing to it! Comment by Khord Did it as a 71 retadin with a something warrior and a 69 rogue. I hit him immediately with JoL and got aggro.
We all watched for Soul Reflection, otherwise just kept hammering away. I had to throw a couple of JoW in to get my mana up. It was easier than I thought. I got pretty frustrated trying to do it on my own and was surprised how many people were on general chat looking for help with this.
Ask and ye shall receive I'm just happy to have that damn axe! Comment by xaviergarrak Just solo'd as a lvl 73 Combat Rogue. When my health got low again I used Vanish and then bandaged back to full as Thassarian tanked for a bit. Then came back into the fight and between the two of us we finished him off. Depending on your DPS and health should be doable even earlier.
Comment by Alamandaros Just solo'd it as a 74 Boomchicken. At the start I popped Force of Nature and just nuked him. Immediately after his first Soul Deflection, I popped Starfall. Since I held agro for the entire fight, the rest of the fight was basically just me nuking with Starfire between SD's, and healing myself. I had to pop Innervate once, and had a mana potion for backup never had to use it.
Comment by Nobody else get this quest not working? Comment by Easily soloable as 74 spriest. Just nuke him, and keep shield up.
Comment by skyoverheaven Solo'd by my 71 shadow priest. I can't turn in the quest to Thassarian after the event has ended because he and the other npc's disappeared. While he and Leryssa are talking, their audible speech is not correctly lined up, they overlap through the conversation.
Thassarian is supposed to walk over to Leryssa and kneel in front of her, instead sits down where he stands and does not move. And finally, a few seconds after the event is over and they stop talking, everyone disappears as if there is a phase change and I cannot turn in the quest to Thassarian.
Edit: A few minutes later, Thassarian reappears at his original spawn location sitting down. TC rev. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:.
Sorry, something went wrong. Lines to in d0. Lines 25 to 35 in 0dee He has K health. Note that this event, like many involving the Lich King, has voice accompanying the text. Post away!
