Pour ouvrir le portail menant à l'event de votre quête, il faudra au préalable récupérer 4 Focalisateurs chargés sur les boss suivant : Rhyolite, Alysrazor, Shannox et Beth'ilac.

Voici comment obtenir chacuns des focalisateurs chargés :

Pour Ryolith les fragments se trouvent sur l’extérieur de la plateforme. Quand ceux-ci sont rassemblés, il suffit de poser le catalyseur déchargé sous son piétinement.

Pour Beth'tilac. Les fragments se récupèrent sur les drones (en bas). Une fois combinés en un catalyseur déchargé, placez le en haut et redescendez. Après son aoe vous pourrez le récupérer.

Pour Shannox les fragments se récupèrent après avoir cassé un piège de givre. Une fois les 3 fragments ramassés, combinez les et posez le catalyseur déchargé sur la marque rouge de l'endroit où tomber la lance. Voila c'est chargé.

Pour Alysrazor, les fragments se récupèrent près des oeufs. Une fois combinés, attendez qu'elle soit bloquée au sol pour poser le catalyseur déchargé. Quand Alysrazor s'envole, hop c'est chargé.

Une fois vos 4 Focalisateur chargés, il ne vous restera plus qu'à aller au portail.

Note : L'event ne fonctionne que pour une personne à la fois (testé et approuvé). Alors si vous êtes deux sur la quête, il vous faudra chacuns recueillir vos catalyseurs et faire l'event 2 fois.

Pour les Fragments

Beth'tilac :
- Les fragments sont loot par 3 à chaque fois qu'une ouvrière braisetoile meurt.
- Il faut ramasser les 3, les assembler pour créer le focalisateur chitineux déchargé.
- Monter en haut (là où est Beth'tilac), déposer le focalisateur chitineux déchargé sur le sol (n'importe où).
- Ramasser le focalisateur chitineux chargé au milieu du sol, d'en bas.
- Tuer le boss.

Seigneur Rhyolith:
- Les fragments de rhyolite apparaissent dans la zone du boss.
- Il faut en ramasser 3, créer le focalisateur en rhyolite déchargé
- Utiliser le focalisateur déchargé.
- Ramasser le focalisateur en rhyolite chargé
- Tuer le boss.

Shannox:
- Les fragment de pierrebraise apparaisent quand un piège de la prison de cristal est détruit.
- Ramasser en 3 et créer le focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé.
- Utiliser le focalisateur déchargé.
- Ramasser le focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé
- Tuer le boss.

Alysrazor:
- Les fragments de pyrocoque apparaissent par un quand un oeuf de jeune vorace est détruit.
- Ramasser en 3 et créer le focalisateur en pyrocoque déchargé.
- Utiliser le focalisateur déchargé.
- Ramasser le focalisateur en pyrocoque chargé.
- Tuer le boss.

( Il n'est pas obligatoire de tuer les boss après avoir ramasser les focalisateurs, ils resteront dans votre sac une fois ramassé, même si le boss est réinitialiser)

Commentaire de dexter74

Alysrazor:
- Attendre que le Boss est à terre
- Utiliser le focalisateur avant le sort Pleine Puissance
- Voilà votre focalisateur es charge .

Shannox:
- Utiliser le focalisateur lorsque shannox lance "jet de lance" sur croquepatte.
- Le mieux es d'être deux pour séparer Croquepatte et Shannox et permettre une réaction plus facile. Le sort "Jet de lance" es facilement visible , on voit la lance se jeter sur Croquepatte.

Commentaire de orboreale

Seul Shannox m'a posé beaucoup de pb lors du solotage quand on est haut niv. Voici ma stratégie en tant que démoniste. Cela peut marcher aussi pour les classes qui ont des familiers, élémentaires etc...

Plusieurs choses à faire :

- mettez en mode "passif" votre familier
- maintenir Shannox vivant (avec le niv 110 on risque de le OS)
- tuer seulement le collant Ragegueule.
- cibler shannox puis dîtes à votre familier de le blesser légèrement un ou deux coup
- remettez votre familier tout de suite en mode passif
- le fait d'être blessé par le familier et non par moi (j'ai tenté cela et ça ne fonctionnait) pousse Shannox à lancer les fameux pièges
- mettez le 2ème chien survivant Croquepatte ou vous même dans les pièges. Ordonnez votre familier de détruire le piège actuel pour vous libérer.
- ramassez enfin votre braise.
- répétez l'opération 3 fois
- combinez les 3 braises pour en créer une chargée
- et enfin quand Shannox lance une rune lumineuse (lance) sur le sol, utilisez vite fait la braise chargée dessus. Ne vous inquiétez pas la rune est vraiment visible, il faut patienter jusqu'à ce qu'elle se manifeste.

Voilà c'est fait

Commentaire de Beetonio

Un soucis qui peut arriver aussi c'est qu'étant 110 les mobs se font os donc faites bien attention sur les boss à vos trinkets enchantements comme les collier qui peuvent faire un proc de dégats involontaire ou dégats d'épine ect ect, soyez vigilant de ce coté là.
J'ai réussi à tout valider et au moment d'aller tuer Volcanus, je l'ai os (dégats volontaire mais pas le os) et je l'ai tué trop vite donc quête non validé et je suis bloqué. Jviens de requête mj mais je pense que je vais me faire bouler ^^ Donc soyez très attentif à ce moment là, quitte à finir cette quête en solo pour éviter que qq'un rush comme un nobrain et vous fasse tout foiré ci près du but ! Du coup je dois tout recommencer la semaine prochaine en redoublant d'attention...

Commentaire de 315614

~~I doubt any of this is correct. The "wreath" of thorns near the entrance just ports you to Majordomo. Nothing special there.~~ (This was a response to a comment that has since been deleted).
What you will probably end up doing is after charging all the Foci from the first four bosses, you take them to the portal just past Beth'tilac. You get there by going up a road called "Path of Corruption". Atm, the portal at the end is inactive, so this is very likely the one you use for the quest. Also the floating island above said portal contains various NPCs which you can see with something like a hunter's Eagle Eye.
So to recap, based on the clue blizzard provided and the information from the PTR, the likely order of events is:

- Collect an uncharged focus during each of the first four boss encounters
- Charge them via one of the boss abilities (Beth'tilac's Devastation) and collect them again
- Combine the foci near the portal at the top of Path of Corruption
- Port up to the floating island, and "stop the ritual" that is going on up there

Ouverture du portail de feu There are 4 listings of these on wowhead, one for each of the Foci:

Uncharged: Focalisateur en rhyolite déchargé Charged: Focalisateur en rhyolite chargé
Uncharged: Focalisateur chitineux déchargé Charged: Focalisateur chitineux chargé
Uncharged: Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé Charged: Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé
Uncharged: Focalisateur en pyrocoque déchargé Charged: Focalisateur en pyrocoque chargé

There are also wowhead listings for fragments of each of these Foci (for example: Fragment de rhyolite). If this is implemented on live, you will likely have to collect 3 fragments during the fight, combine them into the Uncharged focus, and then charge it with a boss mechanic.

Edit: Editing to confirm all this info turned out to be correct. It was certainly an interesting way of opening that portal. The only issue I had was with Shannox's crystal, he just would not charge it due to the terrain I think. Took a few tries.

Commentaire de Freedomsaver

Sounds very very likely.

The spell Open Fire Portal that you mentioned has the effects:

Complete Quest (29432)
Apply Aura: Stun
Send Script Event (28888)

The quest with the number 29432 is Delegation Tracker which is part of the Delegation quest.

Commentaire de 441130

For Alysrazor, 1 Pyreshell Fragment drops from both eggs that hatch the Voracious Hatchlings. You keep them if you die, and you charge them by dropping it under her while shes on the ground before she hits 100 power and flies back up.

For Beth'tilac's Charged Chitinous Focus you get the 3 fragments from under the drone when it dies, combine them, and then put the combined focus on the web before she does her big explosion. Then you go back up and pick it up with a loot icon.

For Rhyolith, you get the fragments around the edges. Didn't notice what caused them to spawn, and they were sort of random locations but always near the edge of the platform. Then just drop it as he stomps and loot it.

For Shannox, the post under me has good info. FYI, it worked for me when I ran over to the trap and stood in it immediately and dropped it right when he threw. I had tried waiting longer to time with when it landed and that didn't charge it.

Commentaire de speakeasy

Special notes:

- There are 3 stages to each item: FRAGMENT, DULL, and CHARGED.
- You keep the FRAGMENTS when you die. They have no duration.
- It takes 3 FRAGMENTS to make a DULL.
- You keep DULL items when you die. The DULL items have a 2 minute duration.
- When you use a DULL item it drops the item at your feet. From then on, it is untargetable and unlootable. If you mess up, you have to get 3 more fragments.
- The CHARGED item spawns after the event happens. You simply loot it like you do a fragment

For Rhyo, the fragments spawn from small dirt mounds around his platform. Generally, they are on the outer most edge. Collect 3, combine them, then stand directly under him when he stomps. The item will be lootable.

For Shannox, the fragments spawn from when the crystal trap is broken. Stand in the spear toss and drop the Dull item. Loot it when done.

For Alysrazor, the fragments spawn from the shells of the young birds. Stand in the center when Alys lands and drop the item. To clarify, you do this when Alysrazor is gaining energy NOT DURING THE TORNADO PHASE! I dropped the item at around 90 Energy and it was fine. Loot when done.

For Beth, the fragments spawn under the drone. You have to go up, place the item, when you go BACK up after the explosion, the charged item will be there. I made this easy by putting a raid marker on top of the item. Made it easy to find it once I went back up.

Good luck, enjoy your stage 1 staff.

Editing for clarity.

Commentaire de Xpariah

For the Shannox portion, Spacechicken of MMO-Champion posted this useful information:

1. Watch for the Crystal Prison Trap and after it goes up, run over and click on the Emberstone that will be sparkling for the person on the quest.
2. After 3 you need to combine them by clicking on the stack in your bags. It creates Dull Emberstone Focus.
3. You have to pretty much eat his Hurl Spear ability and run over to the glowing red graphic right before it lands and click on the Dull Emberstone Focus.

This week, I collected my final 3 embers from Rhyolith, and Beth'tilac. I then proceeded to Nexus during our break, and followed questline until Delegation. I hopped back in the raid in time to pull Alysrazor, and was able to loot the fragments.

On Alysrazor, collect 3 fragments. These spawn from the eggs of the Hatchlings. After collecting three, combine them, and drop the Dull fragment before Alysrazor flies up after being stunned, as her energy reaches 100. The fragment will be charged. Loot, win.

Looting the Branch of Nordrassil grants a temporary 2 hour title, <Name>, Blessed Defender of Nordrassil along with a debuff Blessed Defender of Nordrassil. The debuff gives a Path of Cenarius effect to the player for 2 hours.

what happens if you drop the focus and die? can it still charge and can you grab it afterwards?
can you grab it as soon as it's energized, or just after the boss dies?

Commentaire de 859104

do you need to kill the boss or can u loot the quest item wipe and keep it or dose the completed one despawn when u die.

Commentaire de Wolsten

There seems to be a lot of info about the fragments and not on the Volcanus encounter.

It is a 3 phase fight.

Phase 1: Multiple adds, the same as the ones from Alysrazor, are up. The cast fieroblast for heavy damage but can be easily interrupted. Just assign interrupts and mow them down one at a time.

Phase 2: A corrupted treant spawns. He casts root on the entire raid, which does slow damage and can be dispelled. He casts a stomp with a huge knockback directly after the root spell is cast. It is imperative that the roots on the players are NOT dispelled UNTIL the stomp ability is cast. Priest mass dispel works best for this, as the raid should be stacked. The corrupted treant will also spawn adds that move slowly and deal aoe pulse damage. They can easily be taken down by range when up.

Phase 3: Volcanus spawns. He deals a stacking raid AOE damage. He also summons small fire walls. Do not stand in these. This is a good time to blow lust and use raid cooldowns (raidwall, rally, etc) and burn it down. It is notable that the player on the quest will be transformed into a treant for this phase and will do massive damage.

Overall, very easy encounter for a guild that has gotten this far into the quest.

Commentaire de Malvenue

Can anyone tell where or to whom this quest is turned in? Does anyone know if it's an auto-accept for the next step?

No guesses, please. I'd like to hear from someone who actually knows for sure.

Commentaire de cerdia

Since I posted this under Volcanus, I figured this area would be wise to post it in as well:

I just got done doing this myself on 10 man and this is what I found (adding to what nickgreyden already posted):

Phase 1: Harbingers of Flame are caster mobs (there are 4 of them). The have two spells. One is a single target spell (fieroblast) which can be healed through. The other is fieroblast barrage which must be interrupted. Assign one interrupter per mob (two tanks and two melee in our case) and just keep the barrage interrupted. Other than that, just burn them down one at a time. Healers, just make sure the interrupters are getting topped off. Of course it is not like you don't already know to make the empty bars full again. ;)

Phase 2: Basically, during this phase there is a big, evil tree (about 9 million hp if I remember) that you dps. It summons adds (which have about 50k or so hp and do a pulsing AE). Just assign 2 ranged to AE nuke the adds. As nickgreyden already said, there is a "roots" ability that keeps you from being knocked off the ledge. Basically, don't dispel/trinket/racial out of the roots unttil the tree boss casts stomp. The roots do damage to the raid, but it is easily healable (we had a holy pally, holy priest, and resto druid). Once stomp is cast, it is safe to cleanse. Once the tree gets down to like 20% or so, it will turn green and trigger the final phase.

Phase 3: This is a "burn phase", but is it pretty easy if your dps is decent. The quest holder (me as an arcane mage in this case) gets a buff that turns them into "tree form". In this case, you do more damage, can't run out of mana (basically your typical scary God-mode buff). I basically tanked the entire final phase without any problems and it was over pretty quickly.

After that, just wait for the branch to be clickable, get it and go on to the next part of the quest (and grats on getting your step 1 staff).

This is exactly how to do the quest, from start to finish...

While fighting Seigneur Rhyolith you loot the Fragment de rhyolites from Fragment de rhyolites which randomly spawn around the edge of the area (note: possible link to the volcano spawns, but those are random as well). Gather three of these and create a Focalisateur en rhyolite déchargé, which is then used just before he uses Piétinement commotionnant. He has to stand on it almost directly so make sure you're pretty close before using it. Loot the Focalisateur en rhyolite chargé afterwards.

While fighting Beth'tilac you loot the Fragment de chitine tachetée d'obsidiennes from Chitine tachetée d’obsidienne, three of which spawn when a Ouvrière braisetoile is killed. Gather them and create a Focalisateur chitineux déchargé, which is then used on top of the web just before she uses Dévastation ardente. Go back up once it's safe and loot your Focalisateur chitineux chargé.

While fighting Shannox you loot the Fragment de pierrebraises from Fragment de pierrebraises, one of which spawns when a Piège prison de cristal is destroyed. Gather three of them and create a Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé, which is then used just before he uses Jeter la lance. The spear has to hit the focus so make sure you're close. Once the fire has died down loot the Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé.

While fighting Alysrazor you loot the Fragment de pyrocoques from Fragment de pyrocoques, one of which spawns when a Jeune vorace egg hatches. Gather three and create a Focalisateur en pyrocoque déchargé, which is then used just before she reaches Pleine puissance (100 energy). It doesn't matter how close you are so just drop it where you're standing at around 90 energy and then loot your Focalisateur en pyrocoque chargé. Note that only two of the fragments spawn at a time, and that if you are usually flying around you will have to switch roles (or just have no-one flying at the start) to do this.

A very important note if you want to get Dragonwrath as soon as possible: do NOT kill any of these bosses. You can loot your charged focus then just wipe and move on to the next boss. Also note that if your raid is willing to let you do this, it only takes a few minutes to do the quests in between this one and Le temps manque as there is no fighting or anything involved, it's just travelling and cutscenes. To make this as quick as possible I'd advise setting your hearthstone to somewhere near Amber Ledge, like Williamson for Horde or « Charlie » Boudunord for Alliance.

Once you have all four of the charged foci go to the portal near Beth'tilac and use them. After entering the portal you begin the encounter with Volcanus, which is a three phase fight.

Phase 1 - just interrupt and kill all of the Messager de la Flamme. You can burn mana and cooldowns to make this easier as phase two starts only when the player on the quest tries to loot the branch.

Phase 2 - Protecteur tourmenté will need to be tanked at the entrance portal. He casts entangling roots which does damage, but only dispel them AFTER he does his stomp. If you dispel them beforehand you will get knocked back an enormous distance and die. Once he does his stomp dispel them as soon as possible. Small treants will spawn periodically and act identically do the transition phase adds on Ragnaros: they must be killed before they reach the treant. Ranged should deal with them. At the end of this phase he becomes friendly and casts Défenseur béni de Nordrassil on the player on the quest.

Phase 3 - Volcanus will fixate on the player on the quest (who is transformed into a huge tree of life) so tanking will not be an issue. Use ALL DPS cooldowns and burn him down quickly. There are a few spells to avoid, so as always do NOT stand in the fire. Healers have to compete with constant raid damage.

After that just loot the branch. Simple!

For Beth'tilac's Charged Chitinous Focus you get the 3 fragments from under the drone when it dies, combine them, and then put the combined focus on the web before she does her big explosion. Then you go back up and pick it up with a loot icon.

How this can be done without wiping? Last time I got 3 focuses and went up to lay dull focus on the ground but it was already 3rd smoldering and I couldnt get back up to loot it :/

edit: Solution: Each Drone drops 3 focuses..

Commentaire de 521273

So. A couple tips. Contrary to what earlier posters said you DO NOT keep the three items you have to combine to form a dull focus if you die. Guaranteed on Rhyolith, not sure about the others. Due to basically 9 manning that raid boss we learned that painfully. Also, if you make the charged item but do not loot it and wipe, it despawns. Hooray for 1 hour on Rhyolith. The others were rather easy but that one kinda sucks. And if you go into the quest after thinking it's going to be ez mode, think again. Actually reading strats would have served us much better with that. To the person who said the roots don't do much damage, you must have better healers. Because undispelled they will kill you in four ticks or so. Comparable raid damage to domo, which when your doing this after a raid night and one of your healers had to log makes it not very fun. Lastly, DIAF blizz for making the entire f$cking questline pointless on 10 man since from what I read 4.3 is going to come out before it'd be possible for someone to finish this on 10 man. Die in Fire.

Commentaire de Railander

can this quest be done by 2 people at the same time? or the volcanus part at least.
this seems incredibly boring to do since some bosses have to be changed back to normal difficulty and dragging 9 of your friends 2 weeks in a row for this is frustrating.

Commentaire de tainted93

If you open the portal and then fail the event, do u lose the 4 charged crystals?

Commentaire de Kamikaze28

Some additional informations which I could not find anywhere:

Shannox: Pulling any dog into a crystal prison trap (which auto-destructs in a matter of seconds) also yields a fragment.
Combining Fragments: Combining the fragments into a dull focus is a short cast which is susceptible to pushback and requires you to be standing still - even with feathers on the Alysrazor encounter.
Using the Dull Foci: Upon using them, they are immediately placed at the feet of your character. You can not throw them or place them in your vicinity.
Looting the Charged Foci: Once the focus has been charged, it will have a light orange circle around it. Looting it will not show up like usual looting (there is no loot window for instance) - look in your backpack to confirm its presence. Also note, that the fragments and the dull/charged focus are rather small and can be easy to miss in a flurry of effects and/or volcanos. Mind those things when placing one.

Commentaire de 785391

Just finished this part of the quest with my guild last night, even had everyone cooperate to wiping each boss so that we could also gather cinders this week.

I found the first two, Shannox and Beth'Tilac the toughest to do, don't be surprised if these take a few attempts to get one charged. (charged focus seems to despawn after about one minute btw)

You have literally a second, maybe two, to get into the red beam before Shannox casts hurl spear, and drop your focus. Seems best to just hang around the tank on riplimb and hope it'll fall close to you.

With beth she seems to LOVE to throw pools of fire on top of your focus, it really is just luck if she doesn't. And of course you can't get close enough to loot this without falling through. It's also quite confusing to find your charged focus amongst all the effects so make sure you remember the location you dropped it on the minimap before dropping down.

Rhyolith is a slightly easier one, although the fragments around the edge seem scarce. I was on adds so to make sure the healers didn't get pwned by them I had to also focus on killing adds, then do a circle around the island looking for the fragments when they were under control, come back and kill more adds. after you make your focus, run right into the middle of rhyoliths hit box and drop it as he's about to stomp. Try to make sure the ground area isn't cluttered so you wont lose it in a volcano or something.

Alysrazor was straight forward. since each egg only dropped one fragment it takes at least two phases to create your focus. Just have your group run through the fight as usual to accomplish this.

Mostly everyone except you just has to run through the encounters as normal, so if you emphasize this to your group it'll go much smoother. It seems people get upset/confused if there's any deviation to their set routine they've been doing week after week but it's really much simpler than you think.

Oh, and for the last encounter, it's fairly easy so expect to one-shot that. For Volcanus you basically become immortal, I ended up solo tanking/dpsing it anyhow since everyone died to pillars of fire. xD ROFL.

Commentaire de EmberDione

More info on the crystals:

Shannox: As said above. We just killed Rageface first then goofed off while I collected the crystals.

Beth: The crystals for this look like flat little piles of rock, not floaty crystals like the ones from Shannox.

Lord R: This was the one that had the least info. The crystals spawn at the edge of the lava, when he does a stomp. Only one crystal per stomp. You can watch for it, and see which direction it flies off. These crystals are dull and little flat piles like the ones from Beth.

Aly: You have to make 2 full sets of phases of this fight, which can be difficult if you have a good flyer. Just drop it right before she does her knock back that drops the new round of feathers, when she flies back into the air. Just remember, one air phase to get 2 crystals, one ground phase, one air phase to get your last crystal and one more full ground phase to get your charged crystal. She can be killed while in the air on her third cycle. (Our flyer just stayed on the ground for the first phase.)

Volcanus:
He's a one finger pushover for anyone who can do Baleroc or Staghelm. Also, when he has you targetted at the end, you cannot run out of mana and I would be willing to bet can't die.

Commentaire de 448060

I don't know what Blizzard was thinking when they decided not to tell players what they need to do in the quest text. It's not like it's a secret to be discovered or something. Anyone who can get this far into the questline is a competent raider and knows all about wowhead. Zero quest description just seems like an annoying waste of time. Just imagine if they did it for the entire chain.

Commentaire de 893297

Does anyone know if the crystals despawn if you don't use it on the portal?

Woundering cuz we do heroic modes first raid day and normal the next raid day, and I don't really got time to get all the crystals and kill volcanus before the raid.

Commentaire de Wevah

Don't be an idiot like me and assume that the Drones on Beth'tilac only drop one fragment.

Commentaire de Bowserkills7

This was extremly frustrating for me.

Ryolith: I steer him, so it was very difficult to collect the fragments. I lost one of them to a volcano spawning directly underneath him after the stomp (and where I placed the dull fragments), and we killed him so I didn't have another shot at it.

Aly: This was the easiest of them all. I fly and DPS, so I just came down when they hatched, got 3 then used it at 85 energy.

Beth: This was extremly frustrating. We had to wipe the first time because drones don't spawn often enough in 10 player normal for you to have time to create the dull one before phase 2-3 occurs. We had to wipe, and fortunatly on the second one she didn't create a firey patch where I placed it, so I managed to get it then.

Shannox: Pretty much triggered the traps myself, got the crystals and stood with the tank on Riplimb until he threw the spear. I Ice Blocked to live through it and looted it.

Commentaire de 346361

The Strategy for 10M Volcanus is quite simple from our group comp
We had:
Shaman, Paladin, Druid - Healers
2 Warriors - Tanks
Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Paladin - Dps
Shadow Priest - Me (Staff Reciever)

Phase 1 - There will be 4 Adds that are in a circle around the branch. They cast 2 spells, a firebolt, and a barrage, Save your interrupts for the barrages. The firebolts do minimal damage and the heals can easily outheal them. After all 4 adds are dead, your group can rest and buff, rez the dead.

Phase 2 - The person on the quest needs to run through the lava to touch the staff to begin phase 2. Stack up, then once you have, a big treant with 10M hp comes out with a few abilities
Stomp - Knocks back all players almost, if not, off the edge of the platform
Roots - Does 10k dps on you and should be dispelled (Mass Dispel if you have a priest) AFTER the stomp
Adds - Mini treants with an AoE effect that have 50k hp come charging at the 10M treant, ranged should kill them, if they get to close, have melee go in and assist with it.

Once you reach the treant to 2M, he will be freed of flame and give you a buff that is Godmode and makes you the tank for Volcanus

Phase 3 - You turn into a Druids Tree of Life form as Volcanus comes out, at this point, you dont need to worry about being healed much, because you get 95% reduced damage. Not to mention 100% increase in damage and healing. You should have aggro on Volcanus the entire time. Once your group kills Volcanus, you will be given the title 'Blessed Guardian of Nordrassil' for 2H. and your brand new staff will be awaiting in the center.

Commentaire de Trolderik

There are a lot of comments on how to get the fragments (which is also definitely the lion share of what the quest is about) but here's a few updates on killing the boss through the fire portal with standard gear for most players at this point in time (370-373ish).

I've done him a few times and it's really very simple, there are very few things you need to remember and they are as follows:

- Kill off the 4 harbingers (they are weak and can be nuked down without any problems, interrupting them makes it even easier but there's no need to pop any cooldowns despite the fact that the next part doesn't start until you want it to)
- The next part starts once the person on the quest touches the branch of Nordrassil in the middle of the room. Everyone else should be stacked in a pile close to the fire portal
- The boss will use entangling roots and unless your raid is very heavy on melee there's no need to dispel it, it only makes things harder. (as you can wipe if you are NOT entangled when the boss stomps)
- Treants will spawn which ranged players will just nuke down before they hit the boss (like the sons of flame on Ragna but slower)
- Once the boss hits 20% he goes friendly and the next part starts. The person on the quest turns into a big tree and the final boss appears. At this point pop hero and nuke him down. With the current average gearlevel of most groups there wont be much of a need to follow complicated tacs, it's pretty much a tank and spank.

Summary
- Kill the Harbingers -> Touch the staff -> stack at portal, ranged on treants when they spawn, DONT dispel entangle (unless you are very heavy on melee and ranged can't handle the treants alone), -> last boss appears, pop hero and nuke.

Two people are NOT able to do this quest at the same time. The portal remains open for whomever opened it until the next soft/hard reset. I made the mistake of using my foci after my guildie killed Volcanus, and it did not reset the portal to be in sync with my toon. We did a hard reset, and the portal was closed. Upon opening a ticket(and receiving the fastest response from a GM that I have EVER seen, about 30 seconds), I was informed that I have to re-obtain the foci and possibly wait another week since Volcanus can only be summoned once per raid ID. Upon asking whether or not they knew for sure a reset and re-obtainment of all the foci would work this week, the GM told me he wasn't sure as he was getting conflicted reports from other Blizz GM's.

We ended up calling the raid without downing any of the actual bosses, and will be trying again tomorrow night to see if I can get my completion in for this quest. I will update after we are finished.

Edit:
We went back in, re-gathered my foci, and proceeded to head toward the portal. Before I even got to use the foci to reopen the portal, the portal opened itself. My guess is that it still registered my use of the foci the night before. Needless to say... the entire raid was rather miffed about wasting all that time gathering foci when they apparently weren't needed. We were able to down Volcanus and get my staff, though.

You can kill Volcanus for the staff, reset the instance do the boss as many times as you want (as long as you have the 4 charged foci to open the portal).Only 1 staff can be looted per kill.

Commentaire de fhait

A word of warning.

Having thought I screwed up the placement of my dull foci on Shannox, I did not loot the charged focus during the fight.

As I was about to gallop away to the next boss, I noticed that the crystal was indeed charged and lootable and attempted to loot it WHILE MOUNTED.

This ended up being a bad thing.

I got a message saying 'You cannot do that while mounted' and then THE CRYSTAL FOCUS VANISHED !

It may have been an incredible co-incidence. (ie. the crystal despawning after a timer) I opened a ticket with Blizzard but only got the obligatory "We're sorry you had difficulty looting the item. Try it again next week while not mounted and it 'should' work" I found it amusing that the GM even covered his behind by including the word 'should' in the canned response. :P

Thank you so much for the information on how to achieve the 4 pieces to open the portal. When we opened the portal every thing went exactly as explained, made everything so much easier.

Commentaire de Spicywiener

If you're having touble finding the Dull Chitinus Focus on beth tilac you can do what i did and use an elder's moonstone to summon a beam of light on top of your focus. After you drop down and come up when its safe the beam of light will be clearly visible pointing exactly where u left your focus to be charged. Loot your focus and ride off into the sunset. Happy days one down three to go.

Commentaire de Garmheim

I have had a tremendously frustrating time with getting the Charged Focus from Beth'tilac. Here is what I have learned so far and the strategy I've developed for dealing with the problem.

1. On Beth'tilac kill 2 drones before even attempting to get a charged focus. This will mean that you will miss the first opportunity to go up to Beth'tilac's web and probably the second too. You can collect the three fragments, make a dull focus and then collect three more fragments which you keep in your bags in case you fail for some reason to retrieve the first once it's charged. Killing 2 drones means that you cannot retrieve a Charged Focus during that attempt. Purposely wipe once you have a Dull Focus and three extra fragments. You now have 2 chances to get your Charged Focus.

2. Both the Dull and Charged Focii seem to have a timer from the time the Dull Focus is dropped to the time it is charged and from the time the Charged Focus receives its charge to the time it's picked up. Either can despawn if left out of your bags too long. Others (sas148 & mnevis in replies to posts above) have noted this. The timer seems to be 2 minutes.

3. For the renewed fight make sure that your raid is focused on getting three spinners down quickly so that the tank, healer and then you can go up to the web above. Also get the cooperation of the tank and healer who will be up on the web above with you to spot the Charged Focus and help direct you to it. Yes, your raid marker helps but having help is never a bad thing.

4. After creating the Dull Focus and looting the three extra fragments and wiping the initial fight return and restart the Beth'tilac encounter. Go up to the web and place a raid marker (This requires that you have assist if you're not the raid leader; I've found that green or blue provide the best contrast and can be seen most easily against the predominantly red background) move away from the marker enough so that it doesn't end up in a molten pool and a meteor strike then dps Beth avoiding those meteor strikes. When you get the warning from Deadly Boss Mods (if you don't have that you shouldn't be in the fight) get as close to your marker as possible and drop the Dull Focus on the wide circle of web material around the centre of the web. Then jump down. Dropping the Dull Focus just before Smouldering Devastation will give you the maximum amount of time to retrieve it.

5. When you return to the web above and Beth'tilac during the second time that Spinners drop from above the Charged Focus should be near the raid marker but let the tank and/or the healer direct you since you are not likely to be up at the exact point where the Charged Focus lies. If you retrieve the focus all is well, dps Beth and then stay down for the rest of the fight or wipe it if that's your choice.

6. If you cannot retrieve the Charged Focus for some reason on the second return to the web above you now have a choice. There are only 3 rounds of Spinners that come down. You have used 2 of those already. Only 1 more opportunity to return to the web above remains before Beth'tilac comes down to finish the fight. You can either make a new Dull Focus from the fragments in your bags and leave it on the web to charge or you can call for a wipe and start over. It is important to understand that there is absolutely no chance that the first Focus you dropped will remain on the web above by the time that you get up there the third time. It will have despawned. You should choose based on the performance of your raid on the adds below. If they are having no trouble with the Spinners, Drones and Spiderlings then drop your second Dull Focus before you drop down the second time and retrieve the Charged Focus on the last trip to the web above. If your raid is having problems, call for a wipe and give yourself a better chance. I say this because the raid may be taking a lot of damage from the adds and it would be a true heartbreaker if you placed the second Dull Focus and the raid wiped before you could get up to the top to retrieve it.

Without question the Beth'tilac Focus is the most difficult to obtain. As others above have already explained the Shannox Charged Focus comes to you easily if you just position yourself with the Riplimb tank. The Alysrazor Charged Focus is the easiest of all. Rhyolith's presents its own difficulties. The Rhyolith fragments spawn one at a time and are hard to see. My suggestion for Rhyolith is that you collect the fragments, make your Dull Focus and then wipe. Once you're ready to start the fight go in with the group that will be steering Rhyolith and place the Dull Focus under his foot for his first stomp.

Commentaire de Terrassen

Every guild- less player's nightmare; quests which require you to engage bosses for a specific object, which no "pug" wants to do.

Commentaire de Iroared

It is possible to do the Alysrazor part of the quest solo as a priest, though it is definitely possible with any hybrid class. If you know how to solo the boss itself, this should come naturally.

All the trash outside the ring can be skipped if you're careful enough. Alysrazor's trash can be easily done with a tanking class, but quite a few others can do it as well (you can relog on your quest char afterwards, as long as they are in the same raid). Simply run in, survive the casts with cooldowns or interrupts/stuns, then the birds should kill the casters in a few seconds. Then keep running in front of their attack so everything chasing you is killed quickly. Use them to kill the eggs and each other.

Now, you need to collect three fragments. Start the boss, pick up three feathers, and follow the boss in the air until it comes down to drop more feathers. At this point, move away so the encounter resets (you will lose your wings, make sure you're not too high or have a parachute handy). Now simply pick up the two fragments in the middle of the room. Do it again to get the third fragment, and combine them.

For the next part you will also need to make sure Rhyolith's trash is out of the way. If he is still alive, simply run up the ramp, aggro Kar and die - fireballs will keep falling from the sky, but elementals will no longer spawn.
Activating the focus can easily be done in a healing spec, though spriest/moonkin and the likes are also possible (but harder). Start the boss as before, and go through the hoops as you would normally do. Don't fly too far away from the boss to avoid resetting. When the tornado phase starts, fly outside of the room and spam heal yourself, using cooldowns as necessary. Go halfway up rhyolith's ramp and wait for the boss to reach 50 energy. At this point, drop the focus and run slightly further up. When the boss reaches 100 energy, it will charge the focus and fly up again, leaving you free to loot it.

Commentaire de Tielyn

For those of you on the feral druid tank path on this fight (since only druids can be on this quest out of the tank classes): yes, you can tank your way to the staff. Mostly.

(For those of you who are wondering: why are you doing this as a tank?
I'm our guild's GM and primary raid lead, and my offspec is resto. Which means that I wound up going to Firelands (aka "Flan") over and over as we got bits and pieces for our mage and boomkin who are working on their full version of the stave. Eventually we had enough people get their Braise éternelles that I was the only one on the quest chain often enough to get the embers I needed -- and I figured, 'eh, why the heck not just as a personal challenge?')

Compared to doing À travers le miroir as a feral, this is cake.

For Shannox, be the Riplimb tank. Hang out next to a crystal trap until he emotes that he's throwing his spear, and then trap Riplimb. Wait for the trap to pop, pick up crystals, combine them while Riplimb is headed to Shannox. Move the 'use crystal focus' to your hotbar, and when you hear him emote the spear throw, move to the target area and use the focus. As soon as Riplimb takes the spear, pick up the focus. (Difficulty: trivial. Shannox will always throw the spear near you.)

For Rhyolith, your safest bet is to not tank it -- let the other tank do the adds. The ash piles you need are all over the platform, and if you spend time searching for them, your healers and ranged will probably get eaten by the adds. You could, I suppose, have them follow you around while you look for stuff, but it was easier for me to just have the other tank do it. Once you're done, go help out on the feet. Rhyolith always emotes when he's about to stomp, and you usually have plenty of time to drop the crystal. Again, I advise moving the crystal focus to your hotbar so you're not clicking it out of your inventory. (Difficulty: didn't try. :) )

For Alysrasor, this is a bit of a challenge. Since picking up the crystals is a channel, any time the hatchling hits you, it interrupts you, and the Pyreshell fragments despawn before the birds die. There are two window types of opportunity: one, as the bird is spawning, it takes it a couple of seconds to fixate on you, and sometimes you can snag the shell (it's right under the bird) if you are quick enough to click on it before the first attack. Otherwise, your best bet is to drag it next to a lava worm and then Dash/Stampeding Roar to the shell fragment. The lava worm nearest to the entrance is the better of the two to use, since the bird has to travel farther to get back to you. Once you get your shell fragments, combine them, put the focus on your hotbar, and as usual, when she hits 90 energy, drop the focus. That part, at least, is simple. (Difficulty: hardest.)

For Beth'tilac, be the top tank, and communication is key. Have the OT on the drone near a raid marker so you know where the corpse will be. The first drone drops three fragments, but they sometimes pile on top of each other, so you will need to let your healer know not to go up until you're done collecting all three fragments (and the other healers know to expect a longer heal phase). You will have to combine and drop your focus while you're up there the second time, which is eminently doable while tanking Beth -- provided you can tank while having your inventory and a raid marker flyout open.

It is vitally important for this maneuver that you wait until after she drops a meteor before dropping the focus, because the meteor 'holes' are persistent through the fight, and you can't pick it up if it's sitting on a hole (happened to our mage). Drop the focus, then raid mark it, then move away from the raid marker so she doesn't drop the next meteor on you. (Difficulty: medium.)

Once you get all four fragments, the Volcanus part is easy (assuming your group has done this boss before for one of your 'actual' caster DPS mains). Turns out that the buff you get for phase 3 (Défenseur béni de Nordrassil) also gives you unlimited rage generation, and despite the fact you look like a tree, you still have your bear abilities as if you were in bear form.

Thanks for reading,
-Tielyn

Does anyone know if you can just kill Volcanus and loot the staff if someone else is already on the quest and they already have the 4 charged items in their inventory? I know this quest seems to have changed from the past since the items stay in your inventory regardless, from one raid to the next. But I'm not sure about this and I can't seem to find any answers about it anywhere. Just want to know more because I am on the quest now and I have tried for 5 weeks to finish it. Strongly considering just getting some help from another player that is ready to just portal directly to the boss.

Commentaire de Dblbaconator

So I just finished this tonight with a friend, and I can confirm that you can do it with two people. We probably had more trouble than we should have considering he was 87, but we managed to make it work. I'm a level 90 enhance shaman, he was an 87 resto/balance druid. We died a lot, but if you want to do it without bothering trade for a few extras, here's how to do it two-man.

Trash: For us, we could handle most any trash pack in the instance, but we steered clear of the roaming flamewaker packs. Cauterizers are kind of a pain if you don't manage to burn them down before they outheal you, so we just ignored them. The elemental packs are somewhat annoying, but focus on the smaller guys first; they'll nuke you if they ignite. Everything else was fairly easy to handle.

Beth'tilac: I'd say it was the second-hardest boss, mostly from a healing standpoint, but it only took a couple of attempts to down. I had him go balance for the first attempt so he could handle the Spiderlings, while I tanked the Drone when it spawned. First priority should be getting enough Spinners down so that their constant damage won't blow you up. By the time we'd gotten about half down, we were pretty much in the clear. When the Drone spawns, you just have to do whatever you can to burst him down before he eats too many Spiderlings, just in case any get close enough. I blew Ascendance and wolves, and that was pretty much enough, even though he did eat a couple Spiderlings. Once he's down, loot the fragments, combine them, and then wait for another round of Spinners. Kill one, hop up top, use damage reductions and drop your focus, then jump down again. It'll last through the next Smoldering Devastation without a problem. Handle adds down below and wait for Beth to cast it, then use another Spinner web to get back up and loot the charged focus. We had to die once because we just couldn't kill stuff before it killed us, but the same rules apply. Regardless, you're going to have to die at least once if you're not planning on killing Beth (and if you only have two, you won't be).

Rhyolith: Fairly easy from every perspective; the easiest boss to do I'd say. The trash before him is somewhat more difficult what with Kar's silence and physical damage reduction; I got around that with Ascendance before he silenced me. Upon pulling, a fragment spawned right where you enter his arena, and it did the same thing after a wipe and another pull. If you're a class that can leave combat somehow, you can get your fragments easily just by pulling, grabbing that fragment, and vanishing. Otherwise, it's a simple matter of avoiding adds; I had my friend DPSing one leg to try and keep him running in circles while I handled any adds that got close to me, but I think his DPS too low for him to really turn him much; thus, he'll just run straight at the wall and burn you. By the time he does that, another fragment should have spawned, so run to the corners of the room and look for it. Get three through whatever method you can, combine, and then wait for the boss timers to tell you a Concussive Stomp is coming. Stand under him right before he does, drop the focus, then pick it up afterwards. Got it in two pulls.

Alysrazor: The trash at the start is honestly somewhat fun; my friend died and I handled it solo. Start by defeating the Harbingers, interrupting them as necessary. Dodge out of the rings of fire from the giant hawks as you start running towards an egg pile. DPS the pile and use any sort of AOE to kill the hatchlings. The giant hawks' fire rings will help blow up the egg piles much quicker. Repeat on the other side, then go kill the hawks; again, they'll do most of the work for you. For Alysrazor, you're mostly just dodging everything and avoiding as much damage as possible. At the start, pick up two feathers (I think you could do three and just click off your wings, but we just did two). Handle Initiates as they spawn, then when the eggs come in, stand near to the eggs before they hatch. When the Hatchlings fixate on you, kill them quickly and keep yourself healed; don't bother with the worms, just dodge around them. Once the Hatchlings are dead, loot the fragments from where their shells were, and kill Initiates to pass the time. In phase 2, just dodge tornadoes and worms. When phase 3 starts, don't interrupt the adds, let them get Alysrazor back up as quickly as possible. Phase 4 is just a simple matter of tanking Alysrazor for a few seconds until she takes off again. Pick up two more feathers and repeat the process; the second time eggs spawn, you'll be able to pick up another shell fragment. Combine them and wait until phase 4 again, drop the focus anywhere (since you're tanking, it's probably going to be near her anyway), then when she takes off, pick up your charged focus. It took us a couple of deaths, but it was pretty easy.

Shannox: By far the hardest mechanically, and the healing required was much more than two people could handle. Be prepared to die a lot on this one. The main difficulty is in looting the fragments from broken crystal prisons without being interrupted long enough to grab them. One thing we did find is that the fragments do persist after death, but only for about a minute. I was able to grab fragments after using my glider to sail down from the entrance after a wipe and by running to them quickly, but the timing was very close sometimes. Otherwise, just spam-click them after a dog triggers them (or sometimes your partner by accident) and you've destroyed the crystal prison itself. The fragment is somewhat difficult to see, but just keep spamming and you should luck out. When you've got the focus, your best bet is to wipe the run and drop the focus at the start of a fresh attempt, as one of you might be dead already. You don't have to drop it right on top of the spear; I was in the second ring I believe and I still got it to charge. The charged focus also remains for a time after a wipe, but I wasn't about to test it and see how long.

Volcanus: It took us a couple attempts, but we managed it without much trouble. Phase 1, burn the Harbingers one at a time, and only interrupt them if they're casting Fieroclast Barrage and if they're not almost dead. If one of you dies, the other can rez if you get all four down, for phase 2 doesn't start until you click on the branch. In phase 2, just blow all your cooldowns and focus on the Tormented Protector. I had my friend swap to resto so he could clear roots from himself; as for me, I didn't really worry about it, since I had glyphed Shamanistic Rage. NEVER clear roots until after he stomps. One of you should focus on the boss, the other should handle adds, for they will blow you up if too many get next to you too quickly. Once you get him to about 25%, he goes friendly and you can start phase 3. At this point, you can pretty much solo the fight at 90, thanks to the amazing buff and severe lack of damage. Burn Volcanus down and collect the branch after the little event ends.

It's probably easier just to get a group of three or four DPS to handle everything more easily, but for those without a whole lot of friends on at any given time, it's doable with two. Soloing might be possible later in the expansion (hell, it might be possible now; my gear isn't that amazing), but if you can, just get a couple friends and avoid the repair bills.

Now time to start gat

Commentaire de Grizlor

I managed to solo this entire quest as an elemental shaman, 530ish item level. It might be doable lower than that, but your flame shock ticks might not do enough damage on Shannox. Here are some tips:

Shannox: Unleash a flame shock on Rageface so the crit ticks do enough damage to instantly breaks you out. In theory, lightning shield can do it as well, but it actually needs to trigger on rageface. Spend the rest of the time trying to survive and trapping the dogs, then make the crystal and drop it during a spear toss.

Beth'Tilac: You pretty much have to burn down the drone and heal yourself a lot on the bottom. Might actually be easier to do as resto by using fire ele/heroism to kill the drone in time, but I don't know if that would cause spinners to web you. I just killed them ASAP. Then I just went upstairs and hit shamanistic rage/stone bulwark to survive the devastation. DPS her upstairs and use clearcasts to heal yourself.

Rhyolith: I pretty much just pulled, grabbed the crystal, died/used sal'yin war banner to reset the fight until I had 3 crystals. Drop it before a stomp, done.

Alysrazor: Very easy. Stay downstairs. Use the glyph that makes flame shock heal you and flame shock both the birds. Focus more on killing the caster adds when they spawn, because the birds won't actually be doing much damage to you with the ridiculous flame shock glyph healing Seriously it was ticking for like 100k :V Collect three eggshell things then drop it before the boss reaches full power.

Volcanus event:

In the 1st phase, kill the 4 caster dudes at the start. I recommend using glyph of shamanistic rage so you can clean off the pyroblast DoTs. You can also ground pyroblast. Try to interrupt and just run around killing them.

For the 2nd phase (the hardest part) use your cooldowns here, because the actual fire elemental is a joke. Save guidance for when the adds come and pop it and chain lightning them down to pretty much get fully healed. I was down to about 30% mana when I killed him. You can cleanse the roots off yourself with the shamanistic rage glyph but make sure you do it after the stomp.

3rd Phase, you're a giant ass tree. Just blast the dude. Pretty much impossible to lose.

Hope this helps!

Commentaire de bluudbath

The Shannox part of this quest can be soloed as a Guardian Druid useing Crate of Kidnapped Puppies or Terracotta Fragment. As Shannox approaches stand in the path of the boss, activate your trinket to summon minion(s) then stealth. When your minion(s) agro the boss exit stealth and the boss will drop a crystal trap on you. Move off the trap before it arms. With the trap between you and Rageface, taunt the dog into the trap and collect the Emberstone Fragment.

Commentaire de erafune

It takes more than two seconds to loot the Fragment de pierrebraise during Shannox encounter.
If you solo it you'll have a hard time looting it without getting interrupted.
Dieing or suiciding or resetting the boss by going through the portal took too long to get back before it despawns.

If you happen to be a druid like me, your best bet is to use Transfert bestial followed by Célérité to distance yourself from both Shannox and his dogs, just like you would do to reset the DoT stacks if you were killing him.
As soon as you see one of the dogs getting trapped in red crystal, use Ruée rugissante and run in a mob-free direction (probably the entrance). The crystal prison will break by itself if one of the dogs are caught instead of a player. Run for 20-25 sec with the bosses hacking at you to gain distance from the crystal, wait for the crystallized dog to catch up to you, then pop Transfert bestial and 4 seconds later Célérité and run for the crystal. You can get a 3 second loot window by doing this. Auto-loot it.

If you also happen to be a Night Elf druid like me, you'll probably be using Camouflage dans l'ombre to reset boss fights. This will be way better than the above solution. You get a bigger time window before it despawns.

I found that using it with the bosses on top of me wasn't a guaranteed reset. The DoT might be the culprit, since the bleed will destealth you. It may be possible to time your Camouflage dans l'ombre right after a bleed tick to successfully reset, since the bleed only ticks every 3 seconds. But watching the bleed tick with 3 bosses hacking on you is hard.
For a better success rate just use Transfert bestial and Célérité to gain distance from the bosses. The only damage you'll see will be the ticking bleed, so you can easily Camouflage dans l'ombre at the right time. If this screws up for some reason and doesn't reset, you probably won't get that loot though, since your distancing spells are now on cooldown. Reset the fight by going through the portal, and wait 1 hour for your pet-trinket to cool down.

Commentaire de Ajester

Just thought i would post for anyone who is wondering: Volcanus can be solod at ease with a lvl 90 mage. None of the damage is anything that evocation's heal cant cut through. For phase 2 I used mirror image along with icy veins and the standard alter time opener and he went to phase 3 fairly quick. Phase 3 was a joke. GL to all on their legendaries :)

Commentaire de clarkeyboy

Word of note, if you low man this with 3-5 people, be prepared to spend around 2 hours wiping and resetting if you don't want to get saved before moving onto the next quest.

We have spent most of this morning doing it, it's not as easy as people are making it out to be and it's very time consuming.

Commentaire de Azunyan

Remember that each Fragment doesn't have a set duration. If you don't have a group and can only rely on 1-2 people while on this quest or if your group is a snob that won't help you with your quest, you can always take it easy and loot 1-2 Fragments at a time and they will be in your inventory until you dispose of them or combine them into a Dull Focus.

REMEMBER THAT THESE ESTIMATIONS ARE ONLY IF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE DPS, SURVIVABILITY, OR THE GROUP DOESN'T WANT TO HELP YOU ON THE QUEST:

Fragment de chitine tachetée d'obsidienne (1 attempt) - Three of these drop after killing one Cinderweb Drone during the Beth'tilac encounter.
Fragment de rhyolite (2-3 attempts) - One of these can spawn near the edge of Lord Rhyolith's platform. If you're lucky, there will be two after the boss goes down quick.
Fragment de pyrocoque (1-2 attempts) - Only two drop from the eggs on the ground during the Alysrazor encounter. You'll need to be on the ground for this.
Fragment de pierrebraise (2-3 attempts) - There will be one every time a Crystal Prison Trap is broken during the Shannox encounter. You can get either Rageface or Riplimb trapped and then wait for it to break.

It's also important to remember that you should NOT combine the fragments, even if you have all 3, until you are READY to do the charging phase. Combining the fragments will have a set duration of around 2 minutes, meaning if you combine them, they will disappear in your inventory in 2 minutes.

Just did this as of 6.0.2. After I killed Volcanus, I "looted" the branch, however, it did not show up in my inventory, despite the combat log saying I looted it. I went ahead anyway and was still able to hand in the quest without a problem. So if this happens to you, don't worry about it!

Commentaire de SopieMunky

Hey guys! I wanted to just add this to the comments section. I have been holding onto the Charged Focuses (Foci?) since the beginning of MoP because I haven't been in a guild where people want to help do this quest.

I wasn't sure if the actual Focus quest items get consumed so I didn't want to risk trying to solo it. Also, I had no idea how hard the bosses hit and didn't want to have to start from scratch. I decided to just give it a try today and here are the results:

1. The Charged Focus do get consumed. So don't do it unless you are confident you are going to finish the quest before your raid expires.

2. I'm an ilvl 558 Frost Mage, so I already have some pretty powerful abilities, but I did discover that this boss is easily soloable in all three phases (especially getting the buff in the 3rd phase). I would venture to say that most ilvl 520+ geared characters would be able to accomplish this with no problems.

3. I solo'd this on Firelands 10-man Heroic.

So if you are like me and have been hoarding these because you weren't 100% positive what the results would be, fret not! Now you know! Now go out there and get your legendary!

After much frustration, I found a remarkably easy strat for soloing Shannox for the fragments on my shaman. Hopefully this saves some people a few headaches.

Pre-fight

Remove Lightning Shield and take off your legendary cloak and any other equipment that causes AoE damage. Take Primal Elementalist as your T6 talent and equip Glyph of Flame Shock (seriously, you should have this glyph for any old-content soloing!).

I did this as Enhancement, but this should work for Elemental as well.

Strategy

The pull will be at the part of his path that is closest to the raid entrance. When he gets there, pull Rageface first and burn him. He seems to be bugged at the moment and even a strong pre-applied Flame Shock does not break you out of his stun, so I found it easiest just to kill him quickly using Ascendance.

Once Rageface is dead, book it over to the raid entrance. If you took off Lightning Shield and your cloak, Shannox should still be at 100% health and barely any threat on you. Once you're at the entrance, drop your Earth Elemental totem and have it attack Shannox. As soon as he gets aggro he should throw a crystal trap near you. Draw Riplimb into it, break the trap, run out of the instance, and then run back in. The fragment should be there for you to loot. Repeat two more times and then it's easy from that point on :)

Happy soloing!

Commentaire de VIVIsectVI

Shannox has to be done as frost if you're soloing as a mage. The way I did it was I had my elemental attack Shannox while I attacked Rageface. Lure Rageface into the crystal prison trap and destroy the trap. Rageface will then use his Face Rage ability. Use Ice Block and Invis, then loot a fragment. Repeat this until you have the Dull Emberstone Focus. Repeat the same method as before only kill Rageface this time. Drop the Dull Emberstone Focus when he throws his spear at you, pop Invis and loot the Charged Emberstone Focus. It's not a clean way of doing it, but I had the quest item in 10 minutes.

I collected every fragments as needed, then when I arrive to place where I need to use those four items. I click on one of four, then they consumed, yet portal did not open. :(

Commentaire de AntonisLak

ATTENTION

For solo SHANNOX u have to have an hp body with u, be it an earth elemental or a trinket body in order for him to cast crystal trap.
Spent nearly 1 hour in madness before i checked an us forum thread http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/14995329530.
Shannox will not use crystal trap and u will not be able to loot any fragments, if u are just by yourself.
Simplest solution for me (drud), was to bring a friend which worked perfect.

Just dropping that here for ppl to avoid frustration. :)

Commentaire de Balgair

Shannox was nasty as someone who really didn't know what I was doing, it took several attempts. A few things I learned along the way:

-Shannox does NOT throw the spear, at all, if you kill both dogs to make it easy on yourself.
-Putting Shadow Word: Pain on Rageface does not always break the stun *sigh*
-You cannot loot the fragments with either dog still alive, due to the constant interrupting of the loot cast: you can just about do it while tanking only Shannox, as he stops hitting you every now and then to cast a spell.
-He DOES Hurl Spear with only one dog alive, so killing Rageface to avoid stunlock before charging the crystal is a valid option.

My final successful tactics: bring an alt along on follow (I have 2 accounts) to trigger the traps; it was a non-tanky lowbie however so I did all the tanking myself. I killed both dogs, broke my alt out of the trap each time, looted three fragments, then intentionally wiped.

After ressing I killed Rageface, leaving Riplimb alive, converted the fragments into a dull crystal, then threw it on the ground shortly before DBM said the spear was due and waited for it... which landed outside of where I'd put the crystal, but fortunately, still close enough to work. The crystal is an instant loot so doesn't matter if you've still got dog+boss beating on you!

Commentaire de Farfyffs

Can this quest be completed both in 25 and 10 man?

Commentaire de Yaracklea

For Shannox, solo as disc priest, just use your Mindbender to attack/kill rageface, Shannox will spawn the traps. Did one fragment per pull/shadowmeld/restart and it worked

Commentaire de Vainio

Being the second time around for me this time feels both faster and easier with the knowledge of what I'm doing and what is to come down the line.

First a couple of general tips for all the bosses.

Do this part on 10 man normal.
Don't kill the bosses, this way you can still kill them for the next part of the questline.
Doing these alone can be challenging for some classes, having as little as a single friend helping makes all four parts extremely easy, especially if one of you has heals.
If you have/can get some kind of "leave-combat"-ability or item, you can make good use of them by getting the three fragments, de-combatting, re-combatting then doing the dropping of the focus without debuffs/dmg/adds/whatever.

Alysrazor - Done right, this is arguably the easiest. Basically kill all the druids casting spells. When the eggs are dropped, wait for them to hatch, kill the hatchlings, pick up the fragments that dropped when the eggs popped. Then wait for Alys to do the firestorm, rebirth, and repeat the eggs all the while killing druid-casters. By the second time Alys firestorms you should have the focus. You can drop the focus any time between the fire storm starting and alys lying "dead" on the ground, being revived. Since you get 2 fragments each "cycle", you need only two cycles. If you do NOT for some reason get enough to make the focus after the second egg-laying, just reset (/die) and start over, the third cycle Alys will not reignite fully and you can't do the focus-dropping.

Beth'tilac - Basically stay down and kill everything in sight, drones will spawn after the first cycle of danglers, kill the drones. Repeat this until you have the focus (should only take 2 times), then ascend one of the next cycles dangler-threads, wait until Beth starts channeling Dévastation ardente, then drop the focus. You might need to ascend one more time to actually pick it up if you are shunted to the ground.

Seigneur Rhyolith - Another simple one, just ignore the boss completely and kill adds. Every once in a while the fragments will appear on the edge of the island. Zoom out as far as you can and wait. As for placing the focus, wait until the animation of Piétinement commotionnant starts, then instantly drop the focus. If you're in doubt, the animation is Rhyo leaning back, lifting one leg and visually getting ready to put his whole body behind a stomp.

Shannox - This one is the one most people seem to have trouble with. I took the easy way out this time since I was doing it on a disc priest. I had a DK friend act as an attention-grabber (taunt-machine) basically keeping riplimb and boss on him. This gave me the freedom to place rageface on traps and break the traps to get the fragments. (the rage-stun is interrupted by a taunt by my buddy). With the focus in hand, all you have to do is wait for the marker for the spear-toss (a kind of fiery rune, looks a bit like the holy-priest spell as seen in this screenshot. You dont have to be on target, I was quite far away from the spear and still got it.

Notes for Shannox (not confirmed, 100% my own speculation):

Killing a pet stops the usage of an ability. For Rageface it is traps, for Riplimb it is the speartoss. Thus to get the focus charged you need to keep the pets alive.
Earlier I have been able to break the rage-stun by having a dot on Rageface, this time it did not seem to work, whereas taunt still does.
Some abilities seem to not be used at all (or very infrequently) if you are solo (no pets or other types of companions including other players).
The damage on this fight can ramp up very quickly depending on the stacks of Déchiqueture, thus healing might be necessary.

As for the second part of the quest, it is trivial. You basically go to the arc of thorns north of Beth, use the charged foci, and go through. On the other side you kill a couple of adds, then bash in the head of a tree, wait for it to give its death-monologue and then de-life a fire-elemental. The whole deal took around two minutes to finish.

EDIT: I have been reminded by my friend that on Shannox, taunting does not break the rageface-stun, he dealt direct damage. I misunderstood and mixed it up with my own experience of DoT's not breaking it. So my assumption (since DoTs did not seem to work and taunt does not either) is that you need to deal direct damage, or possibly apply a new dot. An other option is that a certain amount of damage must be applied and my DoT did not achieve that goal.

Commentaire de jd234

Shannox won't throw traps if you are solo. But It seems like he'll throw it at any mob summoned by a trinket, or item or ability that adds another targetable mob. As a druid I respecced and used treants.

Commentaire de foxedAgain

i dont see anything on here about Shannox and solo fighting. i can add if you are a druid you can use the force of nature talent, that summons 3 treants to help you. i did this on 10m normal. i cleared an area for the boss and waited for him. without touching him i waited for him to get in range and cast 1 treant and put a rejuv on it while it kept the boss busy i put a rejuv on me and casted another one to agro the dogs then i waited for the boss to drop a trap and when the dogs targeted me i kited them to the trap, waited for it to break summoned another treant to distract them then looted the fragment. just did that 3 times. to get it charged just go bear form and have them all attack you since Shannox will drop his spear near one of his dogs just drop the crystal when you stand as he is casting hurl spear once he did that loot the charged crystal and kill the boss or leave instance if you dont want to kill him just yet.

Commentaire de Warlock82

So Shannox seems to be slightly changed compared to comments I'm reading here. I was able to burn down Rageface and Shannox was still throwing his spear as long as Riplimb was alive. As a Druid, I summoned Treants to get him to use Crystal Traps, killed 3 to loot the shards (difficult while Shannox and Riplimb are beating on you since a hit interrupts the looting process, but possible), then wait for a spear throw and put down my Dull Fragment to charge it. No sweat and no Rageface stunlock :D

Commentaire de pipilas

For the Shannox part of this quest i might add that you cannot really solo it.You need an extra something (pet,elemental,another player) in order for him to drop the traps.Also killing both dogs will make him to go to the next phase and so he is not going to drop any traps for you either and you will need to have the traps and destroy them for the emberstone fragments to drop.My mistakes-tests :I did it with my mage and switched to frost spec so i triggered myself some traps.Nothing works there,you cannot use blink,ice block,invisibility,greater invisibility,blazing speed or shadowmeld and also you cannot ''re-summon'' your water elemental to get out of the crystal trap but you can look up and target the crystal trap and command it to attack while it is still alive.Tested in 10 man normal and i was ok but in other difficulties you might want to do things a bit faster.

If any of the above you think is wrong please tell me so i can correct it

Commentaire de Wolfenstein3000

Very tricky mechanics will require several attempts - meaning several weeks given raid lockouts. As such, try and avoid killing any boss while you do this.

I am now on the sixth week of trying this solo . I am a lvl 100 warlock geared around 66. My tips are below.

1. Do it on 10M normal. I can solo 25H, but you want this to be as easy as possible. on 10M normal it is also difficult not to kill the boss before the mechanic. Be mindful

2. Study the advice above which is good but also watch some videos on each of the bosses so you get familiar with their "emotes" - this is critical as you only have a very short window to complete the move with each boss.

3. Once you have collected your three shards, combine them ready for your attempt, but also try and get three more shards incase your attempt fails. This is possible on all bosses but tricky with Shannox.

3, Make sure you graphics are optimized so you can see the boss's emotes. The fights are very screen-messy

4. Do Alysrazor and Lord Rhyolith first, these are the easiest

5. If you have a tank pet, remember to set it on passive ASAP. You will need it to aggro boss in most cases, but on 10M if you are geared, your pet will kill the boss too quickly. My Voidwalker killed Shannox on my first attempt.

6. For Beth'tilac, once you are up on the web and throw the crystal down when he is about to do the meteor thing, run someways off (but not down) because the meteor punches a hole in the web and it can be impossible to collect your charged crystal afterwards

7. Warlocks are advised to use teleport spell for the web as it will be problematic to get back up top of the web to get it. This happened to me and I had to wait another week.

8. For Shannox I have had some luck in getting the dogs to trigger the ice traps, then I blast the ice trap and got the crystal. However, Shannox is by far the most tricky of these bosses given the two dogs running everywhere, Shannox aggro and his "spear throw" emote not easy to see. Be sure to clear a wide area round where you want to fight Shannox. The last thing you want is other stupid mobs complicating things. SHannox pats in a circle after you have killed a certain number of trash. You will know he has materialized when you are told a second horn can be heard int he distance.

9. With Shannox, don't be like me and stand stupidly in his ice traps. You will be stuck there unable to do anything until either he or you die....if he dies its another week's wait

10. Good luck, pretty annoying with the week lockout - hopefully i'll get shannox next week...Week 6 of doing this. I never got my legendary cloak with MOP, only to relog in with WOD, get my Timeless Isle rep up and went to buy it only to see they had taken it out of the game. That was my motivation to get this staff, so hopefully next week. I'll let you know how I go :)

Commentaire de Wolfenstein3000

Wow...finally did it...see previous post.... found a healer in trade chat who was also on Delegation. Good idea to ask in trade chat if anyone else needs DELEGATION for the Shannox bit.

The only difficult part of this whole thing (as a cloth caster) is SHANNOX. The reason is that the emote Shannox does for you to drop the crystal "hurl spear" is near impossible to see when you are running around with Shannox and his dogs.

I ended up just dropping the crystral and running in circles...lo! he threw a spear and i could pick it up.

this took 6 weeks.... On my own i solo FL for gold sometimes...my pet alone can kill all the bosses on 25Mh. Im lvl 100 with 638 gear, ....get a buddy to help you out for the shannox fight

Commentaire de 265276

I'm doing this on my SP. Did on 25 man 1 week and 10 man the next. No difference in looting the parts. Good advice on the 4 pre-event bosses. Left all the bosses up and got my charged focuses. Not clear info on the final solo fight since 6.0. On 10 man, you dps down 4 druids, then the branch spawns. Click it and an angry tree spawns dps it down. You then turn into a tree. You are able to dps in this form. Just dps Volcanus down. I then ported to complete the quest. When I came back I switched to 25 man regular. I was able to run it with no problems and got an average of 50-55 cinders then.

Commentaire de Dawnrider

When doing Beth'Tilac. Drop the focus and get the hell away from it. If a meteor is set to drop on it. Youre screwed. She will charge it, but you cant pick it up cause of the hole.

Commentaire de darthstatic

I just soloed this as a i670 enh shaman, and I found out some information regarding this quest that others might find helpful:

1. If you're getting the foci without killing the bosses, you can reset the instance and the portal will still be active (e.g. if you fail on the boss or stuff up a phase). Simply walk up to the Circle of Thorns portal, and you'll get the same gate opening animation that happened when you used the foci (don't do what I did and farm another 4 foci from the bosses, only to get to the portal and it opens without me using them)

2. Don't kill Volcanus too fast. I downed him in about 6 seconds, and the Branch was unlootable after he died, I had to reset the instance in order to fight him again. Wait for at least one fire nova from the staff

Commentaire de Mookosh

Easy on a Warlock for obvious reasons. However on my mage only Shannox was difficult (even at 100)

It requires a bit of pet management. Took a few tries before I figured out the rhythm.

1. do this on NORMAL 25 man difficulty.
2. Go Frost spec
3. Use your elemental to aggro and tank both dogs and Shannox then go back into passive so as not to kill them. DO NOT attack Shannox or the dogs yourself! , also best to put the ele off to the side away from where you are standing and dropping traps. This allows you to easily loot fragments without getting interrupted. You may have to resummon your ele when it gets close to dying but you can survive long enough for it to get hits on each target to regain aggro since you never attacked any of them yourself.
4. Either eat crystal prisons yourself and use ele to break them or use them as intended to trap Rageface by standing near them for his pounces.
5. If you do get hit with Rage either Ice Block or just have the Water Ele hit him. Should only take one hit at 100 to stop Rage even in bad gear.
6. Rinse and repeat until you have all three fragments. Combine and then go stand near your ele to ensure the spear lands close enough to get a charge.
7. Move pet away so you can actually see the charged focus on the ground and proceed to the next quest in the line :D

Commentaire de Yurdead12209

As a feral druid with no way to break the crystal prison, I was stuck on this for a while but a little bit ago I got Condensateur d'âmes. So if you have it you can use Force of Nature to get the trap to spawn and then get the proc on the Soul Capacitor, put a Moonfire on Riplimb or Shannox, run into the trap and then explode, destroying the crystal prison. Worked for me, hope this helps some of you stuck on this.

Commentaire de Tekunin

I just did all four steps leading up to the portal solo, as an Arcane Mage using Mirror Image.

For Shannox, on the pull I would kill Rageface to avoid the stun then cast Mirror Image. Nearly immediately afterwards, a crystal prison trap would spawn and trap Riplimb, which I would break out and then loot. Generally Mirror Images lasted long enough to do one crystal prison, loot a shard then use Invisibility to reset Shannox. I reset him a third time and waited for him to throw his spear to drop the crystal, then reset him a final time.

Commentaire de Berrenger

Beware, at level 100 the bosses are very squishy and it is all too easy to accidentally kill them.

Commentaire de 1525707

On Shannox encounter you dont need pets. Just walk into the trap and wait for it to go away. Takes a couple of minutes and then you can loot the fragment on the ground.

Commentaire de Senidru

For Shannox portion as Guardians

Use Force of Nature to aggro the bosses, guide the Riplimb or Rageface into traps via taunt and line of sight. DPS it down collect shard. Repeat. The cooldown on Force of Nature is fast and they do NOT do a lot of damage which is important for this particular encounter.

I managed to do this within 3 mins using this method.

Something to note, if two people have the quest only one can complete it at a time. Went in there with another mage, both of us on the same part of the quest and and completed where i did not.

Commentaire de rabiesarebad

Some useful info for soloing the Shannox portion -- shannox won't throw a trap if you are highest on his threat table. I did it as guardian, pulled the boss with Force of Nature, and didn't touch him at all so that the treant was above me on threat. Once the trap is thrown, pull a dog over it, break it, and spam click it to loot the shard (you'll be getting meleed which makes it annoying to attempt to loot, not sure of a good workaround). If you accidentally build too much threat on shannox you can run out of the instance or die to reset him and try again.

Solo'd this today with my balance druid. Did the four bosses and then moved on to the Circle of Thorns and defeated that boss. I saved the last 3 bosses just in case and continued with the quest line. I have the "debuff" where flowers follow me around and returned to Firelands to kill Baleroc, Majordomo, and Rags and start collecting my 1000 Cinders..... but I couldn't. Everything was an "invalid target".

Turns out, if you do what I did, then you have to restart the game to reset this. Very strange.

Commentaire de Sunac

Aggravation! You get enough embers to finish the "go forth and gather" quest after finishing the last clear. Turn it in, do a couple quests, then find out "HAW HAW! You have to wait another week to progress!", due to needing reagents from the bosses you just killed earlier to get the embers to open the portal to finish.

RRRRRGH! >.<

Commentaire de Angrychickenlady

After accidentally killing Shannox several times to get the shards and create the Dull Emberstone Focus, I was very paranoid about dropping the stone at the wrong point. I had already delayed myself by several weeks because of the accidental kills, and although many people explain about getting the shards there wasn't much about the Hurl Spear logistics.

Now I have completed it I can see it is actually very simple, and that is probably why no-one has mentioned it before, but for those like me who are unsure and fear wasting your precious stone and time, here's how it works.

As long as Riplimb is alive, Shannox will regularly cast Hurl Spear. The location the spear will fall is shown by a brief runed circle on the floor, something I'd never noticed before. The first time he threw it I dropped the stone a little too late and panicked that I'd messed it up, but if you keep him in the same place he will throw it again on or near the same spot. The stones only stay for 2 minutes, but his gap between cast time is less than that so if you make the same mistake as me you don't need to worry. From what I've gathered from the other comments on here he doesn't have to hit the stone dead-on, but it doesn't seem a good idea to drop it too far away either.

Then just loot your lovely Charged Emberstone Focus and DON'T KILL SHANNOX. The follow up quests are as tedious as some of the previous quests in the line, you're going to need him alive for later on.

So I hope that helps, sometimes stating something that may seem obvious can still make life a bit easier for someone! :)

Commentaire de clpeteja

FYI, if you are doing with a friend, you both have to get the charged foci. When opening the portal you each have to use yours separately and NOT in the same raid. It is not shared. You both can't loot the branch. You both can go in, but whoever used theirs first gets the quest item. My suggestion is you both get your 4 foci, then break group.

Commentaire de Rizimma

Commentaire de Aeolynn

As a Night Elf, you can use Camouflage dans l'ombre in order both to loot the Fragment de pierrebraise and reset the Shannox encounter.

Because of the DOT and all of the beating you are taking, the interrupts are quite often, so simply clicking the fragment on the ground and hoping that you will not get interrupted might take you a long time. Killing both of the dogs also did not work for me, because the fragment disappeared. So what I did was stay right next to the fragment, pop Mot de pouvoir : Bouclier on me, hit Camouflage dans l'ombre and loot immediately.

Commentaire de ashamancurtis

As of the current date (6.2.4) The "Dull" foci seem to say in your inventory longer than 2 minutes. I was trying to solo Beth'tilac and noticed that once I created the "Dull" focus, it was still in my inventory after a wipe. So I got 3 more fragments, created it, and started my stopwatch. It's been 5 minutes and it's still there :)

The 2 minute duration appears to apply from when you DROP it.

If you destroy Volcanus the moment he spawns, you will softlock the script for acquiring the Branch of Nordassil and be unable to pick it up.

If this happens to you, leave the raid and come back after some time has passed (an hour, I think?) when you return, approaching the thorned portal will make it spawn again, and you can kill the druids of flame and try again. Make sure Volcanus has at least a couple seconds to talk before you outright vaporize him, and the event should proceed normally.

Commentaire de robbiedehand

blizzard for the love everything for once THINK about your quests when making them that at some point much much higher geared people wil be trying to do them, im lvl 107 (druid) and the only way for me to get trap to spawn is use force of nature but those destroy both dogs leaving me with a trap but nothing to trap......
This was easier on lvl 90 then it is now.....

Commentaire de solidsnakenl

When you opened the portal to kill the boss make sure you don't insta kill Volcanus because he might bug out resulting in you not being able to loot the branch, this happened to me.

NOTE the bug happens because you receive a 100% dmg boost for the last phase so when you wear Legion gear you just rek him in 1 blow.

While doing Beth'tilac, I kept dropping down, and fall damage is percentage based, so even at 110, it was adding up. I dropped the quest item, but I couldn't find the final item to loot it up top. The spider kept crowding me, and I kept falling. I died twice. On the third try, I accidentally one-shotted her, fell down, and couldn't loot the quest item anymore.

Now, I'm saved to the instance and won't be able to get her piece till next week. What a bummer !

Commentaire de JohnHunter

Everything is quite easy now. I've done it with 830 mage on 25N.
Follow this guide https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/dragonwrath-legendary-staff-quest-line, or just follow this simple steps:
Don't kill bosses if you want your legendary sooner.
Beth'tilac:

Pull with weak non dot spell.
Stay on ground untill you've collected 3 shards from Spider Drones.
When she's at >30% energy just go up and place down shard, and you can just tank "Smoldering Devastation".
Pick up charged shard, dodge combat or kill her.

Alysrazor:

Clear trash, pull boss.
She'll spawn 2 eggs,each drop 1 shard.
Sit thought whole phase cycle. After 4th phase she'll spawn 2 more eggs, collect 3rd shard.
Wait untill she lands(3rd Phase) then place your shard.
When she flyes up again(1st Phase) pick your charged shard.

Lord Rhyolith:

Pull with weak non dot spell.
Ignore him. Collect shards after each "Concussive Stomp"(1 stomp = 1 shard)
Run around the edges and look for shards untill you get 3 of them.
Just run under Rhyolith and wait untill next Stomp. Put your shard underneat5)h him just before he casts "Concussive Stomp".
Collect your charged shard.

Shannox:

Spec into frost.
Summor elemental.
Agro Shannox with elemental and put him on passive mode.
Trap yourself into crystal prison trap and free yourself with your elemental.(You can also hit rageface with your elem when he goes "Face Rage", and kill rageface as soon as you see 3 crystal traps on the floor)
Collect shards from shattered prisons untill you get 3 of them. Kill rageface.
Wait untill shannox throws his spear(near riplimb) put the shard right in the big red area before spear lands.
Collect your charged shard.

THIS IS FOR DRUIDS, AND WE'LL ANY OTHERS: Legion 7.2

I managed to solo this with the pull shannox to entrance, kill rageface by using trinket that spwans NPC's to help me. I used this really old Barovs trinket - Dont know if there are better trinkets, as long as they dont kill shannox, and mine didn't. I got the trinkets from scholomance or something. Target shannox, pop the trinket and traps spwans

This brought back memories for me from vanilla...I once used the same trinket to do a crazy run in Naxx40 to pick up some LW recipes, when my guild had stopped raiding, waiting for TBC back then....Ah yes...So was happy to see my little trinket hoarding helped again.

Here's an easy way to do this in Legion as a Mage with no danger at all of accidentally killing the boss:

I did this on 25 man normal.

1. Spec Frost and don't have the Lonely Winter or the Splitting Ice talent.
2. Summon your water elemental and put him on passive and disable all his attacks.
3. Park him in the path Shannox walks around.
4. When he face pulls the boss don't attack Shannox, just let him sit there and tank all three of them.
5. Kill Rageface so you don't have to worry about his face rage ability.
6. Wait for a Crystal Prison Trap to come out.
7. Stand in the Crystal Prison Trap and get yourself trapped.
8. Do /tar Crystal Prison
9. Hit the Waterbolt ability that your elemental has. Your pet will break the prison and you can pick up your Emberstone Fragment.
10. Repeat 6-9 until you have 3 Emberstone Fragments.
11. Move to Shannox and put your Emberstone Fragment on the ground.
12. Wait for the spear to be thrown next to you, pick up your Charged Emberstone Fragment.
13. Dismiss your water elemental and invis.

More than half the time the molten hatchlings don't drop a shard and if you're really unlucky the boss enrages and never fully ignites again which results in no more hatchling spawns and you'll need to HS out to reset the fight. I found that while using 3 feathers to fly, kill the hatchling the moment it spawns from the egg and don't let it get to you. Every single time i let them get to me the shard didn't spawn when killed, only when i killed them the moment they spawned from their egg.

Commentaire de Magikouvre

Am I the only one that has literally never seen an egg spawn during the Alysrazor fight?

Is anyone else having issues looting the empowered Focuses? I was able to loot one from doing the Spider Boss part, but the other three after empower the focus I click on the item and it does not loot and the item disappears. I have put in hours trying to do this and I keep getting the same thing to happen. I have opened a ticket but they keep thinking I am trying to loot the actual Branch, not the focuses. And then I had one GM tell me they think I am killing the boss to fast. But that is not the case as I struggled for 15 minutes on one attempt to get the empowered focus on Lord Rhyolith. Suggestions?

Commentaire de Ghaoithe

Was trying to solo the Alysrazor fight as a Frost Mage. Had accidentally popped her with an Ice Lance, but it wasn't enough to kill her. Anyway, I tried flying to one of the eggs up on the mountain to pick up a fragment, and leaving the main area ended combat and killed Alysrazor immediately, locking me to the instance and dragging the Legendary line out for another week.

Just something to be aware of. I'd never heard of flying out of the area killing the bird, so it might be tied to hitting her accidentally or not. Bug report was placed either way.

The quest text is SEVERELY lacking. There are loads of strategies posted here with info for encounters, but no one else has actually explained what this quest will have you doing. So, here's a comment to explain the basics before you spend 5 minutes reading the wall of text strats.

To get to "The Anvil of Conflagration" (the Firelands map page featured in the quest text) and recover the Branch of Nordrassil, you will first have to collect 4 Charged Foci from (each with a different name depending upon the boss) and combine them*. You will then take the combined focus, and use it at the "Circle of Thorns" (coords 27, 23 east of "Beth'tilac's Lair" on the map). Enter the portal, defeat the fire-druid mobs inside "the Anvil", click the staff, defeat the ancient, then SLOWLY take down the fire elemental boss* (if your character is overpowered otherwise you won't be able to loot**) the branch..

*See the TOP COMMENTS for which bosses you will be tackling, and their respective strategies in developing the foci.
** If you do beat the fire elemental too quickly and aren't able to loot, leave the instance and stay out for 30mins, the instance will do a soft reset and you will be able to have another go.

I hope that this takes the edge off the nonsense.

Is this quest still doable in Legion?

Commentaire de Chakkan

I just did this solo with out killing the bosses as a holy/disc priest on 25N.
Here is some notes from my experience:

When i placed the shard for Lord Rhyolith it despawned instantly, and I had to recollect the drops (luckily his is the easiest, just let him do his thing)
During Alysrazor the eggs were being dropped in the hills behind her, I had to grab feathers then fly over the mountains to find the pieces,
I couldn't find a way to run out or die in Beth'tilac so I had to hearth, but the strat was the same as mentioned in other posts.
Shannox sucks. The other bosses I just did in holy since its my main spec, but for Shannox I needed shadowfiend/mindbender so I went disc, also I needed to swap to a fishing rod and remove any gear with high int so I wouldn't kill him with mindbender. Open the fight with mindbender and a dispell magic(might not be necessary but wanted to make sure it registered 2 people) on Shannox, then I killed Rageface. Then its just kiting Riplimb into the traps and either killing the crystal or waiting for him to break out. I think you can keep sending mindbenders out and get more crystal traps and do it all in one attempt but I didn't want to risk killing him so I only used one mindbender and reset then did it again(note: you can't jump off cliffs during the fight had to run out or get to the pools of lava to die). the other part that was hard was looting the pieces since both Riplimb and Shannox hit fast and you only have so long to grab it, I just kited them away from the piece then waited for a spear and ran to it and clicked til i got the item.

Commentaire de phibbus

Just finished this as a 110 druid after getting three charged foci but stalling out on Shannox in WoD.

Remember that boss aggro must be transferred from the "tank" (i.e., you, if soloing) to another "character" for him to cast the necessary Lancer de piège prison de cristal. For those without class-summonable minions, I found that Signal des bûcherons Barov worked for me, but not consistently. I also tried the good old Cloche des Barov, Caisse de chiots enlevés, Fragment de terre cuite, along with a few others that have been mentioned in other comments, but none of the summons were strong enough to both take boss aggro and stay up long enough for him to drop a trap.

The trouble with all of the trinkets is that they have hour-long cooldowns (some of them shared among one another.) After getting the Signal des bûcherons Barov to work once but waiting out the cooldown to have it fail on two succeeding attempts, I decided to chance killing Shannox using Force de la nature. I stripped most of my gear to drain spell power from the treants, leaving just enough to make sure I wouldn't die if perma-stunned. That worked, and if I cast the treants near one of the dogs without doing any direct damage, myself, Shannox usually cast the crystal prison trap without losing more than half health (this on 25-man heroic.)

I found it easiest to kill Rageface immediately after a trap is on the ground, this since the Fragment de pierrebraise that it spawns has a short despawn time, and you don't want Rageface perma-stunning you as you're trying to pick it up.

I also found that the emberstone fragment will spawn if you trip the trap yourself rather than using one of the dogs. Just wait out the imprisonment (takes about two minutes,) and the focus will be on the ground where you're standing. I usually got in a position between Shannox and the fragment to spam-click it until successfully picking it up. Simple matter to run out and reset for the next attempt.

Commentaire de Mattly99

My friend and I just killed the dogs on Shannox immediately. Traps were still spawning no problem and we didn't have to deal with that annoying stun.

Commentaire de Baneleaf

I had half of this quest complete on my priest from when Cata was current content. Using the comments at the top of the page I figured out what part I still needed and now I am off to collect essence for another leggo.

Commentaire de Ellinorake

I would like to make it clear that Beth'tilac isn't bugged if you are doing this quest. Since some patch (probably 7.3.5 or 8.0 with the leveling changes, which has increased her maximum mana), she does not cast Dévastation ardente until her mana is 0%, it's not what DBM tells you on the timer. It's roughly 2 ½ - 3 minutes until she casts it.

Commentaire de GenericNPC

Shannox is still possible to solo as a Balance Druid in BFA. It requires a bit of patience because Rageface's Face Rage is really annoying.

Preparation
1. Talent into Force of Nature.
2. Make sure you're talented out of Twin Moons.
3. Renewal or Restoration Affinity help keep your health up while Rageface is Face Raging you.

How To
1. Set to 25 Heroic, just to give them large enough health pools that your treants don't solo them.
2. Take off ALL your equipment, again to nerf treant damage.
3. Pull Shannox with Force of Nature. He should toss at least one trap before they expire. With any luck Rageface will walk into it, though for me Riplimb seemed to run faster.
4. Keep a Moonfire on Rageface. It doesn't break his Face Rage, but you want to slowly kill him to just make your life easier. Kill the Crystal Prison (Rageface seems to help kill it while he's Face Raging if you're next to the prison). Spam click the shard. Damage will interrupt the loot, but you shouldn't have much trouble getting an opening to loot it.
5. After acquiring the first shard, take the time to use Moonfire and Solar Wrath to kill Rageface without killing Shannox or Riplimb. This is the most annoying part since you have to sit through so many Face Rages.
6. After Rageface is dead, just continue using Force of Nature on Shannox and wait for him to throw a trap.
7. Kite Riplimb to the trap.
8. Kill the Crystal Prison and loot the shard. Repeat until you have 3 shards.
9. The last part is maybe the hardest. You have to drop the crystal focus in the center circle where his spear lands when he throws it. Since we're solo he's always going to throw it near us, which means an extremely short reaction time; maybe 2 seconds from the moment he starts casting the throw. Just be patient and wait until he throws one basically right on top of you and drop the focus. You can put it on your action bar if it helps you be qiucker.

When you're finished just run out of the instance. Don't kill the boss since you'll need to loot quest items from them later in the questline.

Commentaire de Mookosh

Out of the 4 bosses needed to complete Délégation, Alysrazor is the most annoying to solo. As there are 2 separate spawns for the Jeune vorace.

One set will spawn from outside of the boss area and the other from the actual eggs which create the Fragment de pyrocoques. In my last couple of run-throughs on various toons only 1 egg per phase rotation of the fight spawned, and when solo only 1 fragment dropped per egg. As result I had to sit on the ground through 3 rotations of Alysrazor's 4 phases before I had the required 3 to make the Focalisateur en pyrocoque déchargé.

However, the boss will only perform 4 rotations max before staying in her 4th phase until the fight ends. So you are going to be doing a lot of standing around twiddling your thumbs to complete. If you are extremely unlucky, you may even have to reset the fight in order to get all 3 fragments needed. Granted, you will need to reset the fight anyway even if you do manage to get it all in 1 combat.

This is because the fastest route to getting Courroux du dragon, le Repos de Tarecgosa means that once you are on Delegation you don't kill ANY of the bosses until AFTER you've completed the quest, as you will need 1000 Braise bouillonnantes from the boss kills once you''ve obtained Branche de Nordrassil and finished the next steps in the chain outside of the Firelands.

Commentaire de Kurasu

While doing this quest, once you have the charged focus for the boss, join a 'Custom' group, then immediately leave the group. After 1 minute, you will be teleported out of the dungeon and to the graveyard. You can then reset Firelands and head back into the dungeon to go to the next boss without having to kill any of them *or* without having to find some way to kill yourself if you're too high of level.

Commentaire de Environy

Update strat for 120s.
(I ran a 120 warlock)

Note: after you assemble the 3, dropping on the ground is instant on the new item click.

Shannox: leave both adds up. I did pet tank - stand in crystal prison - use pet to break prison - loot shard - do this until 3 shards. drop in the target graphic that happens before the flame swirls all over the ground. Grab completed shard. No kill: Run out of instance.

Beth'Tilac: Unequip weapon and punch boss to start. Mob to kill is the big one that walks on the ground, he drops all 3 shards. combine, take up top. wait till he makes a hole, drop it away from that. stand far away from shard drop so he doesn't make a hole on top of it. Grab the completed one. If you decide to go the no kill way, after he enrages he was able to kill me slowly, 1% at a time.

Rhyolith: No kill method: jump in the lava around the island.

Alysrazor: kill adds on the ground, gather drops. drop combined shard when he gets tired and takes a nap. No kill: I was able to run out through the firewall and out of the instance. (bug?)

Commentaire de Sarthorius

As of BfA (perhaps even Shadowlands)...

The only annoying part of this quest is getting Shannox Charged item, solo. All other 3 are very easy:

Beth'ilac (auto-attack her to begin) kill all adds, but the 'nerubian-like' one Cinderweb Drone, is the one you need, 1 drops all 3 fragments, create Dull item, click a web string to get on top near the boss, and as soon she begins casting the 8s Devastation (happens right after her energy drops to 0%), drop the Dull Item and grab the Charged Item. Drop on hole, and reset fight (if you can't, use some kind of 'teleport' (I got engineers with 2-3s teleports)).

Rhyolith is the easiest one, just max-out zoom, walk near him to start fight and keep walking near the edges of the island, looking for the 'purplish' rocks near the edges (you can spot it from afar, if you dropped Graphics down). Grab 3 while single targetting down the 2 adds that ocasionally spawn. With 3 fragments, create the Dull Item, get beneath the boss, and as soon you seem him casting the 'Stomp', drop it, then grab the Charged Item. Reset, or just jump into the lava to get killed.

Alysrazor too, is pretty much easy now. The 2 eggs are dropped in the middle of the room after a while, and some seconds after, and then a 3rd time. You only need 3. Begin fight normally, let her fly low then take off, Single target only the casters while waiting for the eggs, kill the hatchlings that come out of them, and grab the shards beneath the area they were dropped. Wait for second wave of eggs, rinse. Create Dull item. Now, wait for the Boss to drop in the middle of the room (you'll notice her energy is depleted), let the casters channel into her, and be ready to drop the Dull item anywhere (preferably on clear floor) when you see the boss with 80+ energy. She will get up but still a bit low untill 100% and when she takes off again, grab the Charged Item from where you dropped it. Reset, teleport, or try to take a feather and fly away (didn't try this last trick).

Shannox, the annoying one, here you'll want to Single target Ragegueule down asap. His raging face stun ability has a 30s duration, but he can reapply it almost undefinitely, maybe only classes that can put instant DoTs might kill him between these annoying stuns:

For Classes that can use a pet undefinitelly (mages can go frost and use the water elemental), just put them in passive, turn off any autocasting ability, especially damaging ones (warlocks' voidwalker has one), and use command to move them, and put them on their path. Stay a bit far from them while they all target your pet. Send it to single target Rageface, and once he's dead, send him a bit away again or move yourself out. Step into the crystal prison traps and send your pet to hit it, single target. Once out, grab the fragment, and rinse 2 more times, untill you got 3 and can create the Dull item. Once you got it, stand near your pet, but this time, avoid the traps, and keep watching where Shannox drops his spear, you'll notice a fiery rune appear on the spot 2-3 seconds before that (usually a bit to his right side, if he's targetting the pet). Get into it and drop the dull item FAST. The spear hits it and then get the final Charged Item. Profit.

For Classes without a permanent pet it is a bit harder to do (Shamans, Priests and Druids). I'd recommend doing the pull the closest to the entrance possible, and move them to the bottom of the path to exit if you can.:

For Shamans, I'd recommend going as elemental. As soon as they are passing near the spot the closest to the exit, Single target down Ragegueule, if you can't kill it fast enough (due to low dps from few equipment), call the earth elemental, put it in passive and send it to attack and kill rageface, then move it closer to the path to exit. It lasts 60s, so make good use of it. While moving it, try stepping in the crystal traps, target it and send your pet to hit it, move it away so you can see the fragment on the ground and grab it. If you can manage a second trap-break with the pet, good, if not, rush to exit, get back in and rinse;

For Priests (I recommend as Shadow), it's almost the same as with the Shammy, position near their path, the closest to exit, target Rageface and call your Shadowfien/Mindbender to attack it, ONLY. After that, send it to attack Shannox if possible, but ONLY attack rageface, yourself, do nothing on the 2 others (only your pet, and only on Shannox). For priest, if you don't manage to kill rageface fast, try targetting it and spam the instant DoT, sometimes after he finishes casting its stun, you got time to do that, and it will kill it sometime. Since your pet lasts so fewer time, you'll have to CAREFULLY make Croquepatte walk into them, it'll get stunned, you can target the prison and insta-kill it (it will drop in time, but time is of the essence), move them away and spam click the fragment untill you grabbed it. For next fragment you can send your pet again, this time to Shannox or, for safety, rush to exit then rinse;

For Druids, talent to Force de la nature and do the same as for the 2 previous cases. Wait for them at the spot, keep kiting them to the path to exit, while killing RageFace in SINGLE TARGET. The talent is placed in a targeted area, try, at first, to hit Rageface alone, and after it is dead, Shannox. Meanwhile Shannox, as with previous cases, will be dropping the traps, they last a bit, so make sure to come back to the reddish crystal prison ones if you must use riplimb on them. A good time to make it walk into them is after Shannox throws his spear at a fiery rune, Riplimb walks to it to grab it and give to Shannox. Position yourself in a way that when Riplimb walks back to you, he is hit by trap

My best advice is that you take almost all your gear, if you have to leave anything, leave non-damaging-proc trinkets or rings. This way your pets wont kill shannox accidentally.
Once you got all 3 fragments and the Dull item next, Do the same as with classes with permanent pets. After killing Rageface, stand near your pet, dodge the traps but keep an eye on his spear cast and spot to drop the Dull item. Grab your Charged Item and you're done.;

For the last part, use all 4 items at the circle, port to the next area, kill the casters normally, and once you click the branch in the middle, run to the portal, and wait for the tree to come to you, auto-attack it. Once he gets friendly he turns you into a tree, you can't move for some seconds, and once you can, kill Vulcanus and a bit after grab the Branch. Gratz on the hardest part of this questline.

PS: It is for the best, as high leveled character, to unequip most (if not all) your equipment, so you don't accidentally kill the bosses during this quest (specially on the druid), as you'll need them alive to speed one of the next quests in the line. Also, since these old raids were turned into a flex mode, you are able to kill the bosses twice per week, once in heroic, once in normal. So after you finish this quest, remember to kill them twice, before next week reset. This works for the previous collecting part of the questline.

Commentaire de Detka21

I struggled a lot while trying to get Emberstones from Shannox as a 120 druid, so I finally figured out how I can solo this without involving treants or any other pets. I decided to try out a technique with making a group with my alt (hunter with a pet in this case). I had my characters completely naked, without a weapon equipped.
1. Make a group with a character you have a quest on (I will call it the main char). Stay in front of the instance.
2. Move your alt to the entrance of the instance.
3. Log on your alt, then queue for the created group.
4. Log on your main char, invite your alt.
5. Log on your alt, accept the invite.
6. Enter the instance with your main, clear trash to summon Shannox.
7. Log on your alt, enter the instance, move to the area where you want to fight Shannox (preferably a small area and not far away from Shannox), attack some trash nearby to keep your alt logged in.
8. Now quickly log on your main, pull Shannox (I attacked Rageface), run to the alt (can't be far away) and stay near it. Now, your alt should be immobilized by the Crystal Prison, so destroy it and try to loot the fragment (might take a few attempts). At this point your alt might disconnect and disappear, so now just focus on picking up the fragment, killing Rageface, and leave the instance, so that the boss resets. Repeat this until you get all 3 pieces.

When soloing these bosses, make sure anything you have that deals passive damage to nearby targets is unequipped or turned off.

For example, don't do a me and have an Infinite Stars proc kill Alystrazor when clearing her adds...

Commentaire de splash4ttack

For frost mages and other classes with pets, BOTH you and your pet have to hit Shannox once to be on his threat table. Kill Rageface, bonk Shannox once with your pet, and bonk him once with your melee attack. He will then start casting the crystal prison traps.

So, I'm having trouble getting Shannox to throw out traps! I'm soloing it with a priest. I just stand there until he enrages or I run out to reset. Am I doing something wrong?

Commentaire de Lemonade

I completed this solo as a druid in 9.0.1 at level 50 (current max). Thanks to the many helpful comments here Shannox was quite simple. First make sure you do the following:

1. Clear all trash to spawn Shannox (duh).
2. Make sure you're balance and take Force de la nature and Célérité du tigre.
3. Get naked. Unequip ALL gear.

Engage Shannox by casting Force de la nature right on top of him (they will leave the boss at about 50% health). While your treants are fighting the boss kill Ragegueule. The boss should throw at least one trap at you within 5-10 seconds of engaging him. Either kite Croquepatte over the trap (ideal) or step on the trap yourself. If you step on the trap it just wastes time because you can only twiddle your thumbs for the 60+ seconds it takes for the trap debuff to fade.

Now the trickiest part for me was to actually loot the Fragment de pierrebraise once they spawned. Both Shannox and Croquepatte seemed to never miss and would interrupt me from looting the item. What I found worked was to kill Croquepatte and then run maybe 40-60 yards from the fragment (so the boss follows you away). Then Célérité du tigre back to the fragment and loot it. Zone out of the raid and rinse and repeat 2-3 more times.

Perhaps there's a more simple way but this worked for me. I saw suggestions about fighting him near the exit so maybe you can simply run out after a fragment spawns. I didn't test if the fragments persist after zoning out and in.

Commentaire de jobo98

Im having some troubles with Beth'tilac, She casts her third Smoldering Devastation about 10 seconds after the first drone spawns. I have managed to create the item required for the quest, but since her third devastation causes her to go to phase 2 (which throws you down, and doesnt let you get back up). This seems to be a bug caused by pre-patch as all comments i see say that she should be casting the devastation every ~2.5 minutes. But when i fight her she does it every 20 seconds.

Commentaire de j33p4x4

I saw that a patch in early 8.something made the Beth'tilac portion really tough; she automatically drops to the ground after casting Dévastation ardente three times. In the time it takes to kill the first drone and collect the three fragments, she's likely about to drop and stay on the ground. Since you can't run out of the room and probably not able to get killed (even without armor on), disconnecting for a few minutes was the only way I found to reset the fight. I found it was possible to go in, gather the fragments and make the uncharged shard, then disconnect my internet so I got disconnected. After 5-10 mins, log back in, you should be dead, but return to body and run back to Beth'tilac. Kill the first hanging spider and use the click-y green arrow to go up. Drop your dull shard near the edge of the Dévastation ardente and be sure to avoid stepping in it so you don't fall down. I may have placed it a bit late, but it seemed to take three strikes for it to charge and me be able to pick it up. Your miles may vary, but I had to do it four times before I could pick it up in time, the first three it became charged just as we all fell down. Just be careful how you stack the second and third fires, you'll need to be able to reach your shard once it's charged.

If you mess up and don't get all the shards, or don't get up to the top before Beth'tilac starts casting, don't worry, disconnect, watch a short video and come back. Drop your dull shard and it doesn't get charged before she drops, don't kill her, just DC and come back in and try it again. It took me a few days to get this worked out and thought she was bugged. But it is possible still, just have to gather the shards, DC, reset and start on top as soon as you can.

Commentaire de RenFeraal

For druids like me who have problem with high damage of treants (force of nature) I recommend to consider resurrection sickness as an option.

Commentaire de Beace

One tip for druids attemping all of these challenges: If you go Feral and pick Incarnation you can always reset the fight by stealthing mid-through. I found this mostly useful for the Beth'tilac fight, which has become very challenging to get right now.

Commentaire de devd

Shadowlands: DO NOT use the Force de la nature as some have suggested on Shannox. It's too strong and it will kill the boss and save your instance, ruining the attempt for 1 week.
edit: I didn't try to with res sickness as suggested below, maybe that would reduce the damage enough but I would be careful

Commentaire de Ralae

Just wanted to put this out there because I didn't find any comments talking about this, but with Firelands now being a flex raid, the collection of Braise éternelle took me two weeks (Clearing both normal and heroic) which had me killing the required bosses for this quest. Since you don't need to kill the bosses or loot anything from them specifically, this CAN be done while loot locked on the week you finish L'œil omniscient! I saved the remaining bosses to later go back an collect the few Braise bouillonnantes I could that week as well.

Hope this helps someone plan things out! Good luck!

Commentaire de Kazbekkah

As of Shadowlands 9.0.5, I was able to complete this as a lvl 60 Night Elf Balance Druid with no gear equipped. Note: you don't need to kill the bosses to get this done - leave them alive as you'll need them for the next part of this quest chain!

Shannox
I started with Shannox with Focus of Nature talented. I killed Rageface immediately and then kited Riplimb and the boss up to the platform right by the instance entrance. I dropped my Treants on the boss to pull aggro and he threw out a trap immediately. I kited Riplimb over the trap, which caught him, then Moonfired the trap til he was free, which spawns the Emberstone fragment you need to loot. Don't loot it right away - you can run out of the instance and back in (don't reset the instance, just walk out then in again. This also works if you're worried you'll accidentally kill the boss as it'll reset the boss entirely). When you re-enter, the fragment will still be right there. Loot it and repeat 2 more times to then combine all 3 into the Dull focus. Pull boss again, kill Rageface, then wait for his Spear ability. Place the focus within the circle area on the ground where the spear will land and it becomes a lootable Charged Emberstone Focus. Hop out of the instance and back in again and go to your next boss.

Beth'tilac
I initially was having issues with a recent patch update where Beth comes down after casting 3 Smoldering Devastations which means that you can't get back up to retrieve the Charged crystal after dropping it at the top of the web, and some of the comments recommending some solutions still weren't working for me, so I came up with my own.

My solution: Auto-attack boss and kill adds until the Drone comes up. Kill the Drone, loot the 3 fragments under its corpse and combine them into the Dull focus. As a NE, I then Shadowmelded (If you're specced into Feral, you can also use Incarn to stealth and drop combat) and the fight resets. The Dull crystal was still in my bags and has a 2min timer, so I waited for boss to respawn, then pulled her again and took the first Spinner web up to the top with boss. I dropped the dull crystal, waited for her first Smoldering Devastation to go out, and went Deer form to kite in a circle so I wouldn't fall into the hole that was going to spawn under me. Once that hole opened up, I avoided it as I ran back over to the focus, which is now the Charged focus, looted it and hopped down. You can wait to Shadowmeld again or stealth if possible to move on.

Lord Rhyolith
This took me one reset of the fight, but that's because I had a looting issue with one of the fragments. Overall, wasn't too hard. I stayed in Deer form for most of the fight for easy mobility to get to the edges of the platform to loot the Fragments that spawned randomly. If the boss started to get too close to the lava, I'd go auto-attack the opposite leg just once or twice to get him to turn, and then would run around looking for and looting the fragments. I only got 2 and had to reset by running off the platform, but you should be able to get all 3 in one go and combine them into the Dull focus. Throw it down during his cast of Concussive Stomp before it goes out, then loot the Charged focus after he's done and you're good to go. Reset the boss by going back towards the ramp you came up and he should reset.

Alysrazor
I didn't take any feathers at the start, I just waited and killed any druids that popped up and waited for 2 rounds of Molten Eggs to come down. The fragments drop after each Hatchling dies and there's 2 Hatchlings per round of Molten Eggs, so just wait for the 2nd round of eggs to drop so you can get your 3rd fragment, then combine them into your Dull focus. Just to be safe to make sure she phased, I grabbed 3 feathers from the stack of feathers she dropped, went up and got her to 85ish% and dropped down to the ground again. I put down my Dull focus in the middle of the room and killed druid adds again until she went through the rest of her phases, Rebirthed and then went up for Phase 1 again. By that point, I could loot the Charged focus and had my final crystal! I Shadowmelded to drop combat and headed over to Circle of Thorns for the next step.

Once you have all 4 Focuses
Go to the Circle of Thorns and combine them to make the portal. You'll enter an encounter, which is just a burn for the adds and "bosses" that come up. I re-equipped all of my gear, spam Moonfired the druids in P1, then clicked the branch in the middle of the room. You'll have a boss that you can burn in P2, you'll turn into a big tree, have another boss to kill as P3, and then can loot your Branch of Nordrassil once it's all said and done :) Have fun continuing your questline, and hope this helps others!

Commentaire de climber

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with the Beth'tilac fight. I've killed the drone, got the three fragments and combined them into a dull focus.

Other posts say that I should now climb to the top of the web, but how do I do that? If I kill a dangling spider it drops to the ground, but the thread it was dangling from immediately disappears before I can use it.

Commentaire de Moin

The quest has to be done in the Firelands raid instance of Cataclysm.
Normal or heroic does not matter.
You can use both difficulties to get two tries per week.

You have to do special things at four of the bosses to collect four charged foci.
The other comments give good hints how to do it.

Some summary and additions that worked for me:

Beth'tilac solo with level 60:

Do not charge the focus in the same try you have collected the fragments.
Benth'tilac will already have done two casts of Dévastation ardente.
After the third you will not be able to go back to the upper level and pick up the charged focus.
Your focus will be lost, and you will have to do it all again.
To abort the try, get killed. You can use ALT-F4 to close the game and play
a while with another champion.
You can do it all naked to have no repair costs.

Shannox solo with level 60 druid:

switch to balance
pick the talent Force de la nature
set difficulty to heroic
kill trash mobs until Shannox appears
go naked
wait for Shannox near the entrance
pull with a cast of Force of Nature right behind Ragegueule
do nothing else to not get any aggro
be careful to not damage Shannox ever. He will die easily
let the treants damage Rageface and build up some aggro on Shannox
wait for Shannox to throw a trap
kill Rageface to not get stunned always
lure the other dog into the trap
pick up the Fragment de pierrebraise from the ground.
run to the entrance
leave the raid instance
repeat two more times
use the three fragments to create Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé
pull Shannox but do no damage
kill Rageface to not get stunned always
do not move
wait until Shannox starts to cast the spear
use the dull focus to place it on the ground
wait for the flames to charge the focus
pick up the Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé from the ground

Another hint that is not related in any way to the quest line:

If one of the mobs drops Bâton bancal de Rouble, you might want to keep it.

Commentaire de WeeElune

Tip that I discovered on Beth'ilac

Get naked (most have mentioned)

Let boss enrage if you need another go at it

Guys, I have troubles with Shannox, he doesn't trow traps at me at all. Any ideas? I am not druid btw, but a mage.

Commentaire de vanzilar

For Priests,

Use Barov Peasant Caller or similar trinket for a low level "pet" and you can solo. read comments and follow the same instructions. Worked like a charm. I am going to test more trinkets and list them as I find good ones.

Commentaire de SargerasWasRight

If you're on this quest and have already killed the bosses for the week on both difficulties you can still get all the fragments required by joining a group hosted by another player. You wont get loot from the bosses but all the fragments will still show up. This means if you accidentally mess up and kill one of them early you quite literally can have infinite numbers of attempts per week.

Commentaire de Bagheera

Just completed this today as a level 60 druid.

One thing I found helpful with Shannox - Make sure you do him on Heroic. On Normal the Treants seem to eat through them far too fast.
I tried the Res sickness tip in Heroic and found it worse. Here is what I did incase it helps anyone in future - It is similar to most info here.

Firstly make sure you are in Moonkin form with Treants and remove all gear.

I did not run to the entrance. I ran up to Shannox wherever he was. I started the fight by dropping the Treants closer to Rageface but still landing them between Rageface and Shannox, then hit Rageface with a moonfire. They should focus Rageface and Shannox should start attacking them. If they don't slightly hit Shannox it seems he will not throw a trap at all. With them mostly focusing Rageface Shannox shouldn't drop lower than 60% hp. Shannox will then throw a trap. If it doesn't already land on you, just run into it yourself. Moonfire by this time will finish off Rageface or leave him extremely low. Chill in the trap for abit and when you pop out you can either spam loot the fragment between being interrupted or dash away and dash back. Then Shadowmeld and repeat 2 more times.

If you are not a Nightelf, like other comments here. Run to the entrance and make sure if needed you can reset fast. Make sure your Treants are not directly on Shannox, else they will kill him. Always land them on a doggo or be ready to cancel them or run out if they switch. If he doesn't throw a trap, reset and try again.

Hope this helps anyone struggling in this current patch.

Commentaire de gogatorsfwb

For those who are just completing this quest...several things: take off all your gear so you don't accidentally one-shot the bosses.
If you're doing this in a group with multiple people on the quest, note that only ONE person can loot the Branche de Nordrassil at a time. This can be repeated on a different difficulty for the other person (ex. one loots on Normal, exit, the other does on Heroic).

Commentaire de Shutty5

Warlock Tip for Beth'tilac:

If you are struggling with getting the charged focus before she goes down and ports you down with her or if you are looking for a failsafe way of doing this... You can set your portal up on the web. Make sure you set it down and then run away from it so you don't spawn lava on it. Once she ports you down, summon your Voidwalker and let him taunt and get aggro (assuming you have all your gear off). Now you can port up top and your Voidwalker will stay down with her. You will then have all the time you want to hang out up there and get your focus. Periodically your Voidwalker will port up top with you, but she will just port him back down every time and leave you up there.

Commentaire de buugar

Are there any tips for doing this on an Evoker? specifically for the Shannox part, Dracthyr dont get any pets or minion summons so shannox doesnt throw traps down.

Commentaire de CeriseAviaire

ATTENTION EVOKERS: If you are on the step to get the Charged Emberstone Focus from Shannox then I figured out how to do it.
No need to get trinkets to summon friendly targets.
It all revolves around this talent in the Preservation tree: Time of Need

Step 1: Kill Rageface
Step 2: Go to the pools of lava outside of Baleroc and dip yourself in making sure not to die but to lower yourself below 20%, Shannox and Riplimb should get distracted by your clone healing and start placing down traps.
Step 3: Run riplimb into the crystal trap, break the crystal and loot your Emberstone fragment.
Step 4: Die, seemed to be needed to get more crystal traps and it's faster than waiting the 90s for the cd.

Repeat these steps until you have enough to make the Dull Emberstone Focus and then wait to place it where he throws his spear.

Commentaire de Tnax

For anyone struggling with Shanox solo as a druid at least. What I did was:
Disable all addons
Set Raid Difficulty to Normal 10 man
Get your DUDU and an ALT next to firelands entrance
Form a public custom group on DUDU.
Press Play in Bnet launcher and log onto the ALT, request to join group, log DUDU, accept, log ALT, accept.
Now go in with DUDU, than with ALT, clear trash till Shanox spawns.
Start as guardian DUDU, log onto ALT, move closer to Shanox, log onto DUDU with all agro on you. Clear the crystal 3 times from ALT and throw it down before the next spear.
Grats on your crystal

Commentaire de CSomnium

I've been doing Délégation on my Évocateur and I highly recommend bringing a friend or making a new one for Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé unless you are anti-social as I am. The rest of Délégation is pretty easily accomplished, even for an Évocateur . Luckily, for my fellow loners, you can do this on your own. However, there is a certain degree of likelihood that this will take you multiple weeks if you make a mistake. You will either need patience or you will have to get help.
Before you can begin, you will need an item that spawns a combat pet, such as Statuette de quilen. I will not compile a list for you here, but you can find what you need here on Wowhead.
Once you have an item that can spawn a combat pet, equip it and head to Terres de Feu.
Do NOT spawn your combat pet until after you have spawned Shannox and killed both Ragegueule and Croquepatte.
Next spawn your pet, which will allow Shannox to spawn a Piège prison de cristal.
Set off the trap. You will be stuck for a moment but don't panic. It will eventually break and you can attempt to loot the Fragment de pierrebraise on the ground.
Time your attempt to loot with a cast of Rupture de magma as best you can whilst being extremely careful not to attack and kill Shannox. If you do, better luck next week.
Jump into lava to reset. Rinse and repeat until you have enough Fragment de pierrebraise to make Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé. Reset one more time.
This time do not kill Croquepatte but do kill Ragegueule.
Drop your Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé at the indicated Jeter la lance location. Once you have your Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé you should be free to finally vent your frustration out on Shannox.
Congratulations! You'd rather suffer a migraine than ask for help, but you are one step closer to your Courroux du dragon, le Repos de Tarecgosa.
Note: My attempts to kite Shannox away and then Survoler back in time to loot the Fragment de pierrebraise did not work. Timing and repetition, however, did. But I also made the mistake of accidentally killing Shannox as a result. You may have better luck (or skill), but I can't make any promises.
EDIT: I forgot to add that if you want to complete Le temps manque as quickly as possible you will want to reset after obtaining Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé. This way you can complete Le temps manque before leaving to do La branche de Nordrassil, Extraction d’urgence, and Une requête solennelle which will leave Shannox alive to give you as many Braise bouillonnante as possible for Le temps manque

Here is a little something I made for the community with regards to this quest. Hope it helps.

By the blood of a lord of flaming earth the wings of bronze shall be unfurled.
A Wrinkle in time hidden and an all-seeing eye from eternal embers and sands of time created.
A ritual of flame must be thwarted and thus begins a journey to be remembered.
But a portal within the realm of fire must first be opened.
The dull as fragments must be gathered and shall be charged by ways four. But always when cast down to dust. In the face of power overwhelming shall clarity of vision crystalise.
Smite the hunter to his wrath obtain and into his snare fall. By shattering of blood the fragments to thrice obtain.
From the slave of cinder Chitinous fragments are all three collected.
The offspring of flame Pyreshell fragments shall leave if life does not cease.
The fragments of Rhyolite around the elemental lord, one by one they shall appear.
The stone of ember by the Hunters Spear must be smitten.
The stone of Chitin by smouldering devastation a fitting consummation.
The Pyreshell in raging flames of vengeance in the final phase must burn.
The stone of Rhyolith under the foot of an elemental lord must be suppressed.
Tetra-focus when united to the path of corruption the soul is taken.
To claim the staff of power immortal and to extinguish apocalyptic flames eternal.
The bow of a world tree must thou uncover if the vision of fire is to be averted.
Betwixt web and Mortal's Demise to the Anvil of Conflagration the path shall open.
Smoldering roots shall your ally be until the protector’s wrath be seen. Then kill the trees and smite its head for then very soon a blessing you get.
Upon its death shall appear the keeper of the coveted treasure.
There once arrived destroy swiftly but not too quickly, Volcanus the branch shall relinquish.

Commentaire de Joxapox

I was pretty anxious doing this part while reading all the comments, but now that I've done it, it really isn't too bad.

Being a mage made things SO much easier as dropping combat at the drop of a hat is a great buffer in case you mess up (like when I was working on the Alysrazor part, didn't realize she was close to the group dropping off feathers and I nearly 1shot her with arcane explosion lmao) or to skedaddle after collecting the items without wasting a boss kill. Another thing: having the Interact key enabled will save you a nice bit of time especially if the corpses are piling up around you.

Anyway, there are already tons of detailed answers here so I just wanted to add a TL;DR version for when you only need the sparknotes. Also I didn't bother unequipping anything + was ilvl 333 and never had a problem accidentally doing too much damage. Just make sure you're careful about not doing any splash damage or unintended AOE.

(also sry I forgot all the specific names but basically each encounter requires you to collect 3 fragments > combine into a dull crystal > empower it through some other condition within 2 minutes > loot it and done)

Beth'ilac: Stall until a drone spawns, kill it, and loot the fragments (one drone will drop all 3). Try to have a few webs available so you can get to the top asap and drop the fragment as she's doing her big cast. An orange swirl will appear under your feet, move or else risk falling through. Loot the charged fragment and get outta there. I was able to do this in one go.

Rhyolith: Fragments will spawn intermittently along the edge of the room. Ignore Rhyolith, kill the adds as they spawn (can add up pretty quick and get annoying, they don't affect the fight at all) and approach the boss once you've combined your 3 fragments. He casts his concussive stomp pretty often but the cast time can be pretty quick. Stand under him and place the fragment as soon as he lifts his foot and you should get it ez pz. Also don't worry about him reaching the lava - I was 100% unbothered by anything and took like 3 damage at any given time lol

Alysrazor: Hang out and feel free to kill adds as they spawn. You're looking for the eggs that get dropped off since they drop fragments once they hatch. They drop two at a time so you'll need to do this twice, but you can kill time by killing adds! Anyway, once you got your fragment ready to go, she will eventually phase (I smacked her w/ auto attack when she'd come down to drop off more feathers, melee range and tiny damage was easy to get to like 80-85% w/o heartache) by launching fire tornadoes. Ignore those! We want phase 3 where she comes down as a skeleton. I dropped my fragment right next to her at this point, but you won't get credit until she takes full form again and gains 100% power, spitting out a bunch of feathers, and empowering your fragment. Done!

Shannox: Bring a buddy if you can! Even a nice rando, honestly, it makes this so much easier. Either way, feel free to kill Rageface asap (annoying, pins you down endlessly, no need to suffer tbh) and be careful not to hit the other dog or the boss. You or your buddy will run into the traps, triggering a crystal prison, which can then be destroyed and will drop a fragment. Once you have all 3 and make the crystal, place it in the orage circle thingy where he's gonna throw his spear. That's it!

These two videos helped me to visualize, super useful.

Trying to do this quest again for the mount. And every time I finish charging the stone for any boss, the stones become lootable but nothing shows then eventually despawns.

Commentaire de Mordecai183

Using a pet no longer seems to work (I main as a Lock) for the Shannox fight.

Spent about an hour resetting and trying again and he didn't throw a single crystal prison trap. I tried different demons. I tried starting the fight without a pet and then summoning one. I tried starting the fight with a pet, de-summoning it, and then re-summoning it in the middle of the fight. Nothing worked.

When I brought a friend, he immediately began launching them like they were going out of style.

Commentaire de shadowfel

you can solo the shannox part by using an alt, use it just to taunt him then switch to your main character, the traps will begin to spawn
also if you fail and kill one of the bosses you can reset the instance using an alt lockout

I seem to have misplaced this quest at some point throughout the years (all previous ones have been completed). Not that the new quest is out in Dragon Isles for the new mount appearance, does anyone know how I can get this quest again? Kalecgos does not seem to be in Nordrassil, so I am not sure where to look.

Commentaire de FaultyLogic

did this on my druid just now, took me the better part of 3-4 hours because i am an idiot who quit playing during SL and i hadn't looked at the talent tree since DF launched.

as everyone else says, collecting every foci is relatively simple except for Shannox. when you fight Shannox, MELT DOWN THE DOG THAT CAN INFINITELY CHAIN STUN YOU (Ragegueule). i cannot emphasize this enough. if you have DBM (if you don't, download it, it makes this so much easier), it'll tell you when Shannox is about to throw a crystal trap - if you use your pet/force of nature/whatever before that timer goes down he will throw the trap REGARDLESS of whether Rageface is dead. just remember that after Rageface dies he won't throw any more traps so if you're trying to gather the fragments you'll have to reset. as long as Croquepatte is up he'll still cast Hurl Spear so once you have all 3 fragments combined it's relatively cut and dry.

i hope it takes you much less time than it took me. good luck!

Level 70 Tips

Get naked or you may accidentally one shot bosses. Remove all buffs.
Use nothing but auto-attack on bosses, even naked your abilities will kill.
Do not try res sickness. It only lasts 1 min, isn't enough of a damage reduction, and gives you a massive repair bill.
Druids cannot use Treants on Shannox, there is nothing you can do to reduce their damage enough.
Pet summon trinkets do not seem to work on Shannox, I could not find any that caused traps to spawn at level 70.

For reference, I tried the following pet trinkets, none of them worked (no traps spawned):
Void Stalker's Contract (one shots), Commander's Badge, Barov Servant Caller, Dog Whistle, Defender of the Timbermaw

Shannox Solo with Alt Guide

Move both Main and Alt to outside Firelands raid
On Main, List Custom Group then Alt-F4
Log onto Alt, sign up to group, Alt-F4
Log onto Main, accept sign up, Alt-F4
Log onto Alt, accept group invite
Log onto Main, convert to raid, enter raid, clear enough trash to summon Shannox
Log onto Alt, enter raid, position in Shannox's path
Log onto Main, walk into Shannox and drag him to Alt. Make sure both are in combat.
Wait until Crystal Traps are dropped. It's ok if you are trapped in one for ages. When you get out, collect the crystal on the ground.
Once you have 3 crystals, right click them in your inventory to combine them
Kill Rageface with single target abilities so he stops stunning
Drop the item in the circle Shannox is hurling spear to. It's ok if you miss or are too late, just wait to see if he gets it again. Once it's charged, pick it up and kill Shannox

Circle of Thorns
Once you have the 4 items, you need to take them to the Circle of Thorns.
It's just above Bethilac's Lair. Face the archway, click one of the items and enter the portal.
Kill all the mobs, click the item, then kill the summoned mob. Kill the second summoned mob.
Now you can loot the Branch of Nordrassil!

Commentaire de spazzanator

This is still soloable as a Priest in 10.1
Just takes 3 seperate pulls with a well timed shadowfiend.

Cast the shadowfiend on rageface let it die, then as your combat timer nears 14seconds auto attack shannox and the shadowfiend will also attack it making a crystal trap appear.
Jump in the lava to reset, and do it 2 more times. On the last drop you will be able to combine them all and get it to charge

Commentaire de programmdude

Okay. DF Solo Mage for Shannox on heroic.

I couldn't get an alt in the raid instance, they despawned before I could log on to my main.

Strip naked. I had a 183 ilvl agility weapon just in case, though won't be necessary. No int gear. Should probably remove all buffs too.
Clear trash to get Shannox to spawn.
Kill Rageface. This took me 2 Arcane Barrage's.
Cast mirror image right before Shannox casts Crystal Prison Trap. These will damage the boss, but the most I found they did is take him down to ~25% of his health. This is the reason for being naked. He will also not cast it if the mirror images are not present. You may need to "tag" the boss, I used Spellsteal for this.
Get in the crystal prison trap. Wait ~2 minutes for it to despawn.
Pick up the fragment that drops.
Cast invisibility, and then do it another 2 times.

Commentaire de paciify

For mages, easy way to do Shannox without a partner or killing him.

1) Go frost.
2) Use Icy Veins to summon a water elemental. Be sure to summon once before the fight and set to "Passive" so it doesn't automatically attack and kill Shannox.
3) Use water elemental's frost nova on Shannox. It will do no damage but will instantly trigger the crystal trap on yourself.
4) Wait two minutes to collect the fragment. This also allows the 2 minutes needed for Icy Veins to come off CD.

Commentaire de Kismat

I completed this in 10.1.7 (Sept 2023) on a level 70 Night Elf Druid....almost all solo. Here are some tips:

* This guide is still relevant. They explain this quest starting at the 5 minute mark: https://youtu.be/4HnxzEh1yPw?si=F6-VMlxHX4EDBy5-
* For the Firelands raid, I selected Heroic 25 man to give the bosses as much health as possible.
* The guide says not to kill any of the bosses so be careful not to accidentally auto attack them. (Shortly after you complete this quest, you will need to return to this raid and it will save you time if you haven't killed the bosses yet).
* Go naked! At level 70, you are overpowered so no armor or weapons.
* I did this as a resto druid and I turned off my talents.
* As a druid you can Taunt the bosses to start the encounters without damaging them.
* If your encounter bugs out, you can easily reset it by using Shadowmeld. This was very useful to me especially for the Beth'tilac fight.
* I could complete the quest requirements solo for Beth'tilac, Lord Rhyolith and Alysrazor > However I got a friend to join me to do the Shannox part. Shannox will drop the needed traps if there is more than one person in the raid. I tried to do it solo using Grove Guardians but this was not successful. Adding a friend to the raid for this part was easy enough.
* After you complete the quest requirements for each boss ( Beth'tilac, Lord Rhyolith , Alysrazor and Shannox). the guide says to kill yourself to get out of the encounter. I found that using Shadowmeld was just as effective.

Good luck <3

My arcane mage use mirror image instead of changing specs. Worked great! I also killed the dog that mauls/stuns you (rageface?) with no downsides.

Also I killed beth on accident so I switched it to normal and tried again and it worked fine. The imbued things drop either way and they have the same id so you dont have to worry about them not matching.

Commentaire de Treviathon

Update to solo Shannox as a mage in Dragonflight 10.1.7 as Frost no longer can talent into a permanent pet.

Take off all gear
Spec Frost
Cast Veines glaciales, which now summons Water Elemental for 30 seconds
Pull Shannox with Water Elemental by hard-casting Éclair d'eau, this will not kill him
Set Water Elemental to Passive
Shannox Casts Effet de piège prison de cristal, try to kite Ragegueule over the trap. If this fails, you can also trap yourself. Either way, you need to break the trap itself (which you can do with the water elemental if you are trapped, or just wait it out)
When the trap breaks it spawns the Fragment de pierrebraise
If Ragegueule is still up, kill him before he stuns you (It took me two frost bolt casts Éclair de givre. If Ragegueule stuns you just wait it out and try to kill him again after the stun.
Spam click Fragment de pierrebraise, you will get interrupted, but keep spam clicking it, you should be able to loot Fragment de pierrebraise before Fragment de pierrebraise despawns
Cast Invisibilité after looting Fragment de pierrebraise, or if anything else goes south
Repeat until you have 3 Fragment de pierrebraise
Form the Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé crystal by clicking on Fragment de pierrebraise in your bag
Place the Focalisateur en pierrebraise déchargé on the ground before Shannox casts Jeter la lance
Loot Focalisateur en pierrebraise chargé
Don't kill Shannox, just cast Invisibilité again
Done

Commentaire de Bacchusdrinks

I was able to do Shannox as a resto druid.
Wait till he enrages and then try to summen Grove Guardians every time you get out of the stunlock.
Get yourself in a trap (or one of the hounds) and wait 90 seconds till you break free.

Do this 3 times and collect the quest item after a spear throw.

The hard part is clicking on the item in between the stuns.

Commentaire de Venoctis

Currently trying to solo this on my Druid in DF and I think I've found a breakthrough

Spec resto -> talent into grove guardians -> they DON'T ATTACK and count as a friendly unit to spawn the traps. You can walk into it, wait the 2 minutes for the trap to despawn, pick up fragment, repeat.

I've seen people commenting about having to reset the raid using force of nature, the Grove Guardians in resto DO NOT ATTACK and also grab aggro which makes it easy to pick them up. I got all 3 fragments in less than 5 minutes between them and dragging Riplimb into the traps!

Commentaire de xxivarG

I've been able to get all of the fragments except Fragment de pyrocoque and I'm going crazy! I'm in the Alysrazor fight and the fragments are on the ground and interactable, but when I click on them the loot table is completely empty or just flashes once and disappears. I tried this quest before months ago and was able to loot 1 fragment before the rest became bugged. I've tried on multiple weeks, different difficulties, different characters, disabled addons, reset the instance, abandoned and reaccepted the quest and I cannot get these fragments to work. There are several other posts online about this issue but it seems no one has responded to this issue.

SOLOING SHANNOX AS A FROST MAGE IN DRAGONFLIGHT

I was unable to get Shannox to throw traps when I summoned a water elemental (which is now summoned via Icy Veins, and only lasts half a minute), so ignore advise from previous versions that suggest it.

I engaged Shannox by riding my mount through him, then continued riding away for a few seconds. I hit Mirror Image (which will not attack unless you are attacking) while continuing to run (away from him or simply around him didn't matter), since I could not get Shannox to throw traps if I was standing still. When Shannox threw a Crystal Prison Trap, I manipulated the dogs to run into it. (Note: Shannox will continue throwing traps after the Mirror Images disappear.) Ultimately it doesn't matter which dog runs into it, but it is slightly better if Riplimb runs into it because I was unable to avoid being stunned and Riplimb being trapped meant that Rageface had just a few seconds headstart on stunning me. After the trap breaks, the moment that I was unstunned I hit Greater Invisibility (plain ol' Invisibility probably works, too) because you can't loot Emberstone Fragments while stunned and it will disappear after a while. Theoretically, if Rageface is the one trapped, you could hit (Greater) Invisibility the moment that the trap breaks... but, as I said before, I was unable to avoid being stunned.

Then when it was time to use the Dull Emberstone Focus, I engaged Shannox by killing Rageface and ... IT... FELT... GOOD!

Commentaire de Scarak

For Shannox: The traps only spawn if there are two or more targets. So if you go in Solo the traps won't spawn.

For Mages: with the removal of the water elemental it is a bit harder to do, but still possible. If you pop your mirror image it will cause the traps to start spawning. Then have maneuver your self so the dogs run into the traps. They will eventually break and you can pick up the crystal.

I hit Mirror Image (which will not attack unless you are attacking) while continuing to run (away from him or simply around him didn't matter), since I could not get Shannox to throw traps if I was standing still. When Shannox threw a Crystal Prison Trap, I manipulated the dogs to run into it. (Note: Shannox will continue throwing traps after the Mirror Images disappear.) Ultimately it doesn't matter which dog runs into it, but it is slightly better if Riplimb runs into it because I was unable to avoid being stunned and Riplimb being trapped meant that Rageface had just a few seconds headstart on stunning me. After the trap breaks, the moment that I was unstunned I hit Greater Invisibility (plain ol' Invisibility probably works, too) because you can't loot Emberstone Fragments while stunned and it will disappear after a while. Theoretically, if Rageface is the one trapped, you could hit (Greater) Invisibility the moment that the trap breaks... but, as I said before, I was unable to avoid being stunned.

Then when it was time to use the Dull Emberstone Focus, I engaged Shannox by killing Rageface and ... IT... FELT... GOOD!

This worked beautifully for me, 460 fire mage, accidentally popped blazing barrier and Shannox killed himself on HC, but the stuns from rageface! urgh!

Reset to normal, pulled as per the quoted post, but I insta fireblasted rageface, worked a treat I wouldn't get stunned and could trap riplimb, I did it in two stages though, first I got 2 fragments, greater invis to reset, then got the 3rd and reset, crafted the item. Likely didn't need the reset, but Shannox melees could interrupt the casting to make the dull emberstone.

Then pulled the final time, exactly the same mounted pull get a few yards, pop mirrors and fire blast rageface to avoid the stun, played with the trap, got the boss into position and got the crystalised emberstone!

You can complete this during Cataclysm Timewalking! I was stressing about how to accomplish this solo at level 70 without accidentally killing anything but it was really easy to get all the pieces from the 4 bosses while in a Timewalking raid group. :) Just thought I'd comment in case anyone wondered.

Does anyone know why it will not allow me to pick up the Obsidian-Flecked Chitin Fragments after killing the drones? I have already gotten the charged focus from the other bosses.

Is this another quest/achievement/whatever in the Firelands that requires two people or am I just being a dummy and doing something wrong on my Shadow Priest? I just cleared the entire raid on my own and got no closer to completing this quest. I'm hearing "take off all gear", I'm hearing "summon a Shadowfiend", what's the truth and how can I solo this?

As of 10.2.5. here is how to solo Shannox as a shaman at max lvl in normal, didn't tried in heroic:

1 Start fight with Earthbind Totem on top of them: they will be aggroed to the totem and he will throw the trap at you

2 Wait until totem vanishes and stand right behind the trap facing Shannox. Probably Rageface will stun you, while Ripclimb gets trapped.

3 The trap will break itself and as soon as you get unstunned, kill Rageface.

4 The crystal should be on the floor, spam click it until you get it.

5 Reset the fight by joining a follower dungeon (this is the easiest and fastest way to reset)

Repeat steps 1-5 times until you have 3 crystals and you combine them. Then next all you have to do is drop the crystal on the spear center. And profit.

Killing Rageface is totally fine. Shannox will still throw traps and spears. I was able to get all 3 fragments and charge the focus with her spear in one go without resetting after killing Rageface.

Doing this as an Evoker solo caused some problems and after a bit of research I managed to find a way to complete this.

First head to Darkshore and swap the time back to the good old days and head to the north-eastern part of Darkshore.

In the Ruins of Mathystra you are able to see Cat Figurines cluttered around the area. Looting these has a chance to spawn a Ghost Saber which will drop an item called Figurine de chat luminescente

It might take quite a few figurines before the mob spawns, so be patient with this one.

Head to Firelands and clear the trash until Shannox spawns. Bodypull the boss, use the item and to make your life easier kill Rageface. You now have a saber buddy for 10 minutes and you are free to kite Riplimb to traps to get the quest done.

Hopefully this helps you out!

If you have one of fragments in your bank (obtained perhaps during mounts farm) - you will not be able to loot it from Bosses. You need to go and take it from bank.

Commentaire de Pinetree

Avoid killing the bosses once you get the fragment you need from them. One of the next parts of the quest chain sends you back to the raid to collect an item from bosses in the Firelands, so you'll want to save your loot lockouts for that.

For High Level Druids who want to do this SOLO

Shannox seems to be the boss that is hardest for a Druid to do solo (due to us not having a proper pet).

The best way to do this quest is as a Resto Druid with the Resto talent , with all armor/weapons in your bags. The Grove Guardian pet (as Resto) will NOT do any damage to any creatures but will instead constantly heal you. is currently on the 6th row from the top, second from the left. It is a choice talent between or .

Easy strat is:

1) Aggro boss by targetting and Killing ONLY Rageface from afar, using a single-target spell/ability ( in Resto spec works well)
2) Use talent (You can use it 3 times every 20 seconds)
3) Kite the other dog to a trap and then destroy
4) Collect (x3). Once you have 3, click on them to create .
5) Place on ground, timing it before Shannox does his
6) Collect your .

The good thing is this strat works on any difficulty or raid size as long as you are careful to only use a single-target spell/ability.
