What I did (once I recovered from the shock of realizing that the event starts as soon as you accept the quest) was start at the center mortar (the one pointing out into the bay). As soon as the mortars became usable (which takes a couple of moments after Tethyr is in position), I hit the one I was standing at and immediately started running between all three, stopping only long enough to fire each one. The major says to keep moving for a reason -- as soon as each shot lands, Tethyr hits you with a water bolt that knocks you back a good 10-15 yards (I wasn't paying enough attention to see if it also did damage, though). Particularly as you're heading out to either of the side cannons, you'll want to be aware of where you're getting knocked to so you don't lose too much time getting back on course.

I cleared this on my first try with 4/12 marksmen remaining. Good luck!

Just a couple extra points:

The knockback actually is a bit farther than 10-15 yrds; It's more like 30. If you're lucky, you'll hit something in the way, and not go too far.

The marksmen can also be healed, which made it extremely easy as a Priest. I just ran to a canon, fired it, and tossed a renew at every marksman as I passed them. Only lost 1 by the end of it (mainly because I never stopped to heal them, only used renews).

A couple of things nobody has pointed out yet:

This is a level 36 quest that can be done solo.

If you get blown off the dock, you fail.

Commentaire de mommyclz

I was doing this quest in a group with one other, and I fell in to the water was blown off the dock, and it failed. When we tried again, I died and it failed. Then I couldnt pick it up again, the other person in my group couldnt share it, she dropped it, and neither of us could pick it up. Everyone remained in position, it kept raining, we waited several minutes and gave up . .. .bugged maybe?

Commentaire de 54527

The easiest way to do this is just to go to one of the cannons on the side, wait for him to be targetable and then just right-click the cannon, run to the middle, use it, run to the far side, use it, and then reverse. You need to hit about 10-11 mortar hits on him, but all mortars hit and have no casting time so can be used on the run. As long as you keep running you'll be fine.

Commentaire de Vlad

Level 70 can solo him melee :P I just used healing gear as enhancement, wrath of air, searing and mana totem. He hits 120 melee and 400 waterbolts so it's not a problem to solo him, only 150k health too. ;D

But I would like to point out that when you don't use the cannons it seems to bug. :P

Commentaire de clarkkers

It is easy to avoid getting knocked off the pier!

The knockback move happens when a large, blue beam comes from tethyr's mouth, that beam knock you back.

When you're doing this quest, always watch Tethyr, when the beam appears, make sure you get knocked back into Theramore, then you won't fail the quest.

Commentaire de 101911

I have to say this quest was the most fun ive ever played :)

Commentaire de 30064

I found the best way to keep from getting knocked back is stay in front of the cannons not on the warf when you shot the middle cannon and you wont get damaged or knocked back at all. When after you shot the sides hurry and drop down to the front of the warf towards the center cannon. Hope this helps you, I did it on the first try. with many help from the other posts.

Commentaire de Jutsu

Tethyr never even hit me with his spray/knockback move. Shamans in Ghost Wolf form or Hunters with Aspect of the Cheeetah just need to run from one to the next. I started at the cannon on the left facing the bay and started running as soon as the cog appeared. Never stopped moving and thus as each mortar hit tethyr and he turned to attack a marksman in that direction i was almost to the next one. The key is to not stop at all, you can hit the mortar as you pass by.

Commentaire de 58421

Druids can speed between the cannons in travel form - 'using' a cannon does not shift you back to caster form.

Commentaire de 30263

Tethyr is the same model as The Lurker Below in SSC. His water bolt is similar to Lurker's spout...except the water bolt does no damage.

Commentaire de fitey

All you have to do is just click the cannon and than run to the one beside it and click it until he is dead, very ez quest didn't even lose a hp and had 11/12 marksmen at the end just don't jump when his blue shit hits you

Commentaire de Slushie

I did it as a 33 mage with ease, what I did was once he hit me with the water bolt I quickly used blink and it would pretty much put me right back on course, i was never knocked off the dock!

Commentaire de 42051

Easily done as a shaman. Clicking the mortars does not cancel ghost wolf, basically all you have to do is run back and forth clicking mortars as you go by.

Commentaire de Kinta

Word to the wise - If you don't use any skills on him, he won't have you on his "target" list. He'll still water blast you and all that good stuff, but he won't use a water ball on you unless you've tried to, or have hit him once or twice. At least that's what I've seen.

Commentaire de 41445

I can't remember doing a quest that was this much fun! Easy, but still loads of fun, even if someone else is doing the quest and you just happen to be watching. First found out about this when I tried to turn in http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11193) near the docks, next thing I know a blast of water knocks me clear into the middle of Theramore's marketplace! I turn around to see Thetyr swimming in the harbour, blasting people off the peer. Definately worth your time to do this quest, the fun factor alone is reason enough, and the quest rewards are okay.

Commentaire de 82801

Thanks for the tips! As soon as I'd accepted the quest i put my aspect of the cheetah on, went to the left cannon and then clicked it as soon as it was available and just ran round the whole pier again and again clicking the cannons as I passed! Finished with 10 / 12 men alive! Brilliant quest! Very cool!

Commentaire de 75430

Easy as a druid, just use travel form, i got knocked back in the beggingin, and that was the only time. 9 marksmen left when i completed it. Very easy, good xp!

Commentaire de 110767

On a prot Pali what I did was ran back and forth between the one in the middle and the one on the left. I did fall in the water one but didn't fail. I watched his pattern and when I got hit he tossed me into a box or a towards the tower. Mostly if I was getting too anxious going to the next cannon would get hit.

There is one spot (I forget where, sorry) where the beam dips down and you can run over it.

At the end I had some ally helping..or watching in ready stance if they were melee.

I KNOW! Lowbie Ally helping?! Or maybe they figured phat lootz if they got the killing blow.

Commentaire de 11751

Also, one thing that is quite stinky is that,
1. If you fail you have to wait a while for the quest giver to respawn.
2. If you fail tethyr hes still there, and if you dont have anyone over 50 there it gets painfully hard depending on how much health he has left. Since hes a ?? Boss Elite big fish thingy :P.

Commentaire de flygendeteppe

If you fail this quest and pick it up again, the game will bug. I failed the quest, picked it up again and the rain started. Every marksmen got in position, but Tethyr did not show up. I waited for 15 min for Tethyr to appear, but there was no sign of the beast.

Extremely anoying!!
For me; it resulted in abondoning the quest.

Commentaire de 64664

Same here. This quest needs a serious fix.
The problem already starts at the beginning of the quest. Since you don't do direct damage to the mob, it doesn't count as a tag. So even if a low lvl player comes in at the very last point, hitting the mob with a direct spell/attack, he will be tagged by that player. Resulting in you failing the quest, because it wasn't your kill.
Second... being at the docks, where ships come in and out the posibility to get this quest failed by someone tagging it is extremely high.
Third. You can't just fail the quest, and retake it. Like the previous poster already explained. The beast just won't show up.
Meaning you have to abandon it manualy and retake it when the NPC is respawned.
Ofcourse this direclty brings ya back to the first point, the posibility of someone else 'stealing' the kill...

Sure it's a nice quest, the idea with the mortars and making Theramore a bit more exciting is excellent. Too bad it's quite a waste of time on most populated realms, as you never get to finish it, unless ya set ur real life clock to ring you out of bed at 4 Am.

Another interesting thing with this Monster is that when you attack it direcly, it doesn't count as being in Combat. Like with all other mobs. So you can still mount up and run away if you wish to.

Commentaire de 70375

If you are druid, Use your travel form and then just run to cannon to cannon ;-) verry easy to do

Commentaire de 27626

If you fail, Major Mills is not around to pick up the quest again. If you leave the dock area and come back, he'll be back there right away.

Commentaire de mrdummy

Remember: the mob fires waterblast always against the clock rotation along the dock. Start left, then middle, and wait for passing blast, go back to left, middle, wait again...
Right cannon is more risky because i have blasted off there once time.
Running around with Ghost wolf is no problem.

But use only middle cannon is okay because there is wall behind you, so the quest cannot fail.

Commentaire de 133418

Just heal the marksmen and fire with the cannons.That's all.i did it at lvl 34 with my pala

Commentaire de Shiznet

Indeed incredibly easy quest.

Head to the first canon (middle) first, then launch it. Head then to either of the other canons and
repeat this. Notice: Each canon has a cooldown on it. And thats pretty much it. Fun quest overall.

Commentaire de 102269

really easy xp. The helm is nice, but it's not something to drool over. You don't get any XP for Tethyr himself, but it's still a nice chunk at quest turn-in.

Commentaire de DarkRouge

I couldn't stop laughing..there was a horde player in the water when I start this..he got kill 4x times..every time he would try and swim away..dead,dead,dead...dead..HAHAHA
I finish the quest..and some of the other players on the dock..said what quest was that!!
Alot of Fun..

Commentaire de 140025

lol I did this at level 52 just for the hell of it coz i 4got to do it at a lower level :P

I got 440 xp lol, but that was soooo much fun :D

Commentaire de Serieus

Probably one of the most fun quests I've done in the game so far. Not too hard, either. Actually, I didn't find it to be hard at all.

Basically, once you start the quest, Tethyr will appear after a few seconds and do a circle around the bit of land that's in between the docks you're going to be using. A little after the start of the second circle, you'll be able to fire the mortars at Tethyr. So basically, I just started at the center mortar, fired it, and then took off to the one on the left, then back to the center, then to the right, and so on and so forth.

The mortars don't have a "cast" time to use, so you don't even have to stop -- and you probably won't want to. The knockback is annoying, but if you don't stop at all there's a chance you might be able to avoid it completely. I wasn't able to test that theory, though, because I didn't realize that you didn't have to stop to use the mortars until Tethyr was almost dead.

Awesome quest, though!

Commentaire de 164283

i have done this quest a few times, and as of 2.4 it seems, his knockbacks are no more than 5 yards when previously the have been confirmed to be at least 20 yards, probably more. anybody else notice this?

Commentaire de 162627

Awesome quest!!!!! Fighting a big monster was cool enough, not to mention a pretty good reward... and the quest was actually fun... if all of WOW's quests were like this, i would be a happy player

Commentaire de 152829

I never got to do this on my first 70, skipping most of the Theramore quests. I was sure to go back and do it while leveling my Mage. What fun!!! And having blink made it easier to get to each mortar. Good exp and a very entertaining event.

Note: If you fail and are forced to abandon the quest, Major Mills will respawn in about 10 minutes. Just wait for him at the center mortar.

Commentaire de 143766

one of the most epic boss fights id say for low levels.. reminds me a lot of the popular Banjo Kazooie bosses, running around using other things to kill the boss, while also being vulnerable to being knocked off an area to keep you from killing him.

Commentaire de naano

Done as a 35 druid, stayed in travel form the whole time and just right-clicked the cannons as I ran by. You don't get shifted out and you don't have to stop to shoot the cannons. Just keep running. Easy.

Commentaire de 177380

its the funnest and best quest i ever had trying.
only run from cannon to cannon and fire it.
very fun quest for someone there want to kill something VERY big and deadly. also if you only are lvl 35 :D

Commentaire de 178095

well if u want to avoid getting knocked back, just stand on the sand in front of the middle cannon and simply fire it as soon as it gets possible.. I didnt take any damage AT ALL doing this since the damage comes from being thrown into things, and it works just using the middle cannon coz I had 1 marksman left when i killed him (didnt use any ranged weapon either)

Commentaire de 182757

Very easy, especially as a hunter. His water knockback does no damage and doesnt interrupt Cheetah. I just ran back and forth between the center mortar and the one to the left if facing Thetyr. Dont even have to stop at the mortars, just right click on run by.

Commentaire de 160168

Ive kept this as its well cool, dont hand in i say

Commentaire de 120824

i dont know if they nerfed Tethyr or something but the knock back for me is only 3 feet

Commentaire de 187967

Three person group - 1 on each mortar. You have to wait between each use for just a couple of seconds. We nailed the monster in no time at all and got a big celebration to reward us. One of the best parts of the quest is seeing whoever else is in town come down to the docks to watch your fight.

Commentaire de 201100

Did it with my lvl 35 drood
Get your freaky fast Tiger
and run as a freak from cannon
to cannon!
11 markmans left

Commentaire de 170249

i did this recently on my 50 frost mage, i fell into the water, killed tethyr, but failed the quest. does that make any sense to any of you?

Commentaire de 206395

Practically, this quest is one piece of cake.

When I first started it I was like "OMG! I have to take down a level ? Boss?"
When then I realized that this quest became really easy, due to the help of the cannons.

When the quest is accepted, 12 marksmen will run out of the Tower near Major Mills. They will line up in different posts.
Once Major Mills yells the signal to attack, the marksmen will fire their arrows, and the battle begins.
Marksmens' arrows won't do so much damage, but you will, with the help of the cannons in the area. This is all you need to take down Tethyr. All you have to do is run from cannon to cannon, just right click them and a cannonball will be fired at Tethyr.

Here's so tips, and some dos and donts.

1.If you're a priest, you can heal the marksmen, to prevent their death.If all 12 marksmen die, Tethyr will go straight for you, and hurl a Water Bolt at you, which can possibly kill you.
2.If you're a Rouge, you could Sprint from 1 cannon to the other, speeding the process up.
3. If you're a Druid, use Travel form, activating the cannons will not break your form.
4.If you're none of the above, use your mount, it's the closest thing to sprint.
5.If all 12 marksmen die, RUN. However, your quest will be a failure, and you will have to restart it.
6. Now I've seen some stupid people run away just when they see Tethyr, and everyone ends up suffering, so please, don't run away, cannons will save you.
7. Tethyr can blow a water spout at you, hurling you to about 15 yards. If you get blown away off the dock, the quest fails.

After Tethyr is defeated, Major Mills will yell the victory, and fireworks will be blown over Theramore Isle.
Enjoy and good luck!

Commentaire de 203649

When i found out that i had to use those cannons i did it with 8 marksmen to spare. :)

Commentaire de anoffday

I love this quest. I just did it as a level 36 and it is by far my favorite quest of the game. The rewards rock too. Do not pass this quest up. Don't forget it starts with just collecting thrasher oil to fix the lighthouse.

Commentaire de flymolo21

Very very easy. Don't bother attacking just use the mortars. Just run back and forth. Solo on 36 Warrior. Don't attack him using weapons just use the mortars that's why they are there.

Commentaire de 248101

ok this quest is so simple if done right if u have a pally or priest. i did the almost the whole quest line solo at lvl 30. (i has some help on the part where u have to kill the shark). anyway, all u do is run around activating the cannons, healing the marksmen. i thought it would be way hard and went around asking for help, then said what the heck why not just try it and cleared the quest with 10/12 marksman remaining...very easy and u get a sweet helm (or other items) after u do it, and 4400 xp haha

Commentaire de 261607

okay... okay... i am a 31 nelf hunter... and i just beat Tethyr WITHOUT GETTING HIT OR LOSING ANYONE! the best thing to do is to turn on aspect of the cheetah, then once he is in position, hit him with the middle mortar. then move over to the right mortar, then back to the middle, then left, middle, right, middle, and so on until he is dead... hope this helps!

Commentaire de yzerman

This quest begins Immediately after you hit the accept button. I won't bog down the comments repeating what has already been said. I will point out a few things for the n00b's like me. This one was rather simple although there are a few things you should note:

The 'mortars' are the blue things with yellow rims along the dock (they look almost like frogs from the side). Took me a second to figure that out. If you have any speed enhancing spells or abilities, enable them either before (If its not a spell that wares off like Aspect of the Cheetah) or once he shows up. You can only use a mortar once every 15 seconds or so, so run back and forth from each one. As a hunter your pet will not attack Tethyr, so don't worry about him/her dying. Tethyr's primary targets are going to be the marksman. You should be able to pull this off without a problem even if you don't have speed enhancing capabilities, just don't attack Tethyr with anything but the mortars and keep moving.

On a side note this quest was SO worth it. So far this is the coolest quest I have been on in WoW (This is my first character).

Edit: I loved this quest so much I went back and did it on my Death Knight. Again very simple quest, however this time I decided (since I am a 69 DK now) to fight him melee. If you have good gear you can get the job done. He has > 100k health, so it won't be a short fight. He also packs a hard punch. Blow for blow he did about as much damage to me as I did to him. The Water Bolt hit me anywhere from 381-432 Frost damage each hit, which was about as much as my Icy Touch did to him. His Melee swings hit me for about 200 each. A level 60 should be able to melee him easily. The hardest part of this fight was keeping Tethyr's from attacking the marksmen. I constantly had to use Dark Command and Death Grip to keep his focus on me, and at the end I only had 4 marksmen left. In all the quest line took about 15 minutes to complete. The final fight lasted about 5 minutes, and once again, it was worth it.

Commentaire de 298413

This is a very fun and cool quest. Easy yes... but a wonderful reward after having to fight that shark. I watched another player finish it as I was coming off the boat from Menethil to Theramore. I had no idea what quest it was, but it looked so cool that I had to do it. The entire quest line didn't take that long (maybe an hour) and you get a nice little reward at the end, both in item form, and in cool visual form!

Commentaire de 267839

Commentaire de 175534

As said before, just run from cannon to cannon and never stop moving. As a hunter i used Aspect of the cheetah and his attacks did not daze me. I was also never hit for any damage or knocked back in any way, even though I ran right through the water bolts.

Commentaire de 326348

This was easy i did it with a lvl 34 and had 12/12 marksmen left. He may look hard but he is weak and his attacks are easy to avoid. Watch out thoughthe quest starts as soon as you accept it.

Commentaire de 336432

After reading the comments below, I was terrified of this quest. However, it proved to be a breeze with lvl 35 druid. I simply stayed in my travel form to run between the mortars. I was never blown off of the dock and didn't lose a single marksman. The whole thing was done in 2 minutes. Woot!

Commentaire de 337326

The quest is is really easy yes there is a ? boss, however, dont panic. all i did was go to the cannon right next to the guy u get the quest from and any time the little wheel popped up i used it. and oh stay behind the cannon unless u wanna be blown 10-15 yards.

Commentaire de 223389

Absolutely one of the best classic quests. Definitely a prelude to many more interactive quests introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. I wonder if they considered adding an achievement to complete this quest without losing any Marksmen. The achievement would be disqualified If anyone else damaged Tethyr or anyone else healed a Marksman.

Zooming full out gives you the best perspective of all the action going on. This quest got me completely by surprise in leveling my alt Priest and made me happy!

Bravo Blizzard!

--EDIT--

After reading all the comments, I found it interesting that about half of the commenters were running Lich King. Definitely shows the strength of these types of quests.

Commentaire de decrepitbeef

I just completed this quest two minutes ago on my druid. Best. Quest. Ever. Blizz needs to make more quests like this that aren't just "Kill some of such and such" or "Go talk to this guy!". It was great fun, and I'll be sure to do it again on my other characters.

Commentaire de 366678

I've got to agree... this was a short, enjoyable quest, very different from most of the quests you receive. It's a nice break and end to the 7-quest series. Hoewever, it does seem that they have gimped poor Tethyr when I compare the earliest comments compared to my experience.

I finished with 11 marksmen left out of 12, and never even got hit by the water 'ray'. Guess I was just lucky in starting from the left side and moving to middle, then right, and then back. But even once before when I was watching this happen (and took the opportunity to level my newly acquired crossbow skill), I only got hit by the ray once and knocked back maybe 5 feet. It's not necessary to mount between each cannon. I just ran from each once with my lvl 35 warrior.

Commentaire de 362104

There's plenty of time! I didn't realize the quest had started and actually came here, read all the posts went back and did it. Ok, so only 2 marksmen survived, but if I could read all this and still do it then there is more than enough time! Pally's you can heal the marksmen, too! Fire a cannon, heal the marksmen as you go by them, fire the next cannon. Plenty of time.

Commentaire de 423548

ok. i did this with my lvl 34 warrior with no healing. i just simply ran between the mortars and fired. i finished wit 12/12 marksmen. its an easy quest

Also, during the "fish bait test" the fish does not always come. Literally came to wowhead to figure out what 'trick' I needed to do, since I was not able to do anything but watch as tethyr failed me and the quest giver despawned.

If you have not done this quest before 70-80 its pretty fun to kill him without using cannons.

Commentaire de obiwaynekenobi

I don't know if it was nerfed or what but just did this quest and not only did I not have to use any cannons but it's Water Blast attack seemed to go right through me and did absolutely nothing; in fact it didn't seem to do anything except look menacing and spit water, but didn't bother attacking at all and went down very quickly. Awesome fight just because of the "Godzilla" type feel to it.

just killed him without loosing anyone, riding my mount from cannon to cannon, interrupting his attacks, lol, he didn't have a chance.

thx tho, cuz when the cannons didn't work i start to panik)

Tethyr is killable directly now at level 80 with no issues. Even as a resto druid. Naked.

Seems like they have taken out his knock-back effect. Just completed this on my young warrior, and though she got caught in the water spray many times, she was never thrown like my previous alts had been.

Commentaire de dermoons

Just did this quest, seem to work fine, except for the water knockback attack of Tethyr seems to have no effect.

Commentaire de 883217

I just did this quest today - Blizzard may have told you it is obsolete but it is still obtainable - you get a quest to go out to the Lighthouse, she gives you a book, you go see Nat Pagle and do some stuff for him then you go in to the docks and get the quest from Major Mills. And it is very doable with some nice rewards still. Healing the marksmen helps complete the quest & I didn't get knocked off the pier by the water spout.

Commentaire de Reignac

This is still very much in the game, I JUST did it on my Hunter. Why is the red text up there?

Le Major Mills aux Docks de Theramore veut que vous abattiez Tethyr.

	Protéger les docks de Theramore de Tethyr (1)

Monstre marin ou pas, nous n'allons pas risquer notre cargaison. J'ai ordonné à nos meilleurs tireurs de se préparer pour une confrontation avec ce Tethyr. Les artilleurs ont ajouté trois mortiers aux défenses du port.

Je vais donner l'ordre d'allumer la lampe du phare. Si Tethyr attaque effectivement, votre travail sera d'actionner les mortiers pour l'abattre avant qu'il ne tue tous les tireurs. Mais, à votre place, j'éviterais de rester trop longtemps au même endroit. L'utilisation des mortiers attirera sans doute son attention.
