Tout le monde sait que pêcher, c'est long et pas forcément amusant (du moins en jeu), mais n'abandonnez pas ! au bout de mon 13e lancé, je me suis dit "c'est bon, un dernier et je me tire".
Le boss a pop au 14e lancé :)

Me and some guild mates got our Serpent Shrine attunement completed today, so a few of us went into coilfang reservoir in a small group to explore.

Ended up finding a very huge pool in the lake area called "A Strange Pool.", so being the vigilant fisherman, I started casting. Apparently, the pool reacts as a perminant pool of Greater Sagefish, that is... until you fish up... "The Lurker Below."

Very fun. I <3 Fishing Boss's.

Commentaire de 22279

A couple points of clarification:

1) You DO NOT have to kill all the bosses in SSC in order to summon the lurker below. There is a large pool in the middle of the pumping bridges. Fishing in there, whether or not the other bosses in SSC are defeated has a chance to summon The Lurker Below. Whether or not the water is scaulding does not effect whether The Lurker Below will be summoned. It seems the scaulding water only kills the fish that will aggro you while you are fighting him.

2) I fished him up on my third attempt, so it could be fast or slow. Make sure before you do this that everyone is ready and your tank is in position to pick him up as soon as he's spawned.

I wiped my SSC raid by doing this because I was under the impression you needed scaulding water and it would take more than an hour to fish him up. I was wrong and there were quite a few annoyed people :<

As of patch 2.1, seems that this boss got bugged with the update of may 22. Lurker whirlwinds while casting Spout and oneshots every raid member.
We tried 3 times and wiped for this reason.
Any confirms ?

EDIT: Found this on the US Forums "To avoid this, do not kill the last Naga while the Lurker is casting Spout. Kill it either before or after the Spout."

They're still trying to fix this. No ETA available.

On crushridge at 18/06/07 looks without bugs, whrilwid and sprout never together, The boss is pretty easy... Be carefull only for sprut ability or u'll be oneshotoed for the else you can evade whirlwind standing near the water at max possible range, the same for the melee or anyway it do about 2k on a plate. For the add nuke down all them and continue to sheep one utill the boss comes back and sprout, then kill the last one and again on boss till he die.

We ahve done him after 1 try. NEED the mace :°°°

As of patch 2.1.3, on July 10, 2007, the Lurker Below's "Spout" ability no longer effects pets.

This will make the encounter much more enjoyable and convenient for hunters and warlocks :)

Handy fishing macro for this event:

/targetenemy
/equipslot 16 Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole
/cast Fishing
/stopmacro
/equipslot 16 The Decapitator
/equipslot 17 Terokk's Gavel of the Soldier
/script PickupAction(20);PlaceAction(1);PlaceAction(20)

If you wanna use it, you need to change names of fishing pole, your regular weapon names,
and the slot of the macro where you place it, and the original spell that is supposed to be on that slot.

/targetenemy
/equipslot 16 <fishing pole name here>
/cast Fishing
/stopmacro
/equipslot 16 <MH weapon>
/equipslot 17 <OH weapon>
/script PickupAction(<slot number for original spell>);PlaceAction(<slot number where to place your original spell>);PlaceAction(<slot number to place the macro.. usually at same slot as where the original spell was>)

For example if you originally have mortal strike at slot #1, and the fish macro in slot #2 you will use:
/script PickupAction(1);PlaceAction(2);PlaceAction(1)
You must then have the fish macro on Button 1, and put mortal strike on button 2.
When you use the macro it will equip fishing pole and start fishing, once you target any enemy
(closest is boss ofc) it will then move the macro to slot #2 and mortal strike back to slot #1 like
it was before. So you are ready to do dps right away! ;)

Gives the fishers a chance to be more lazy when it comes to equipping and all! ;)

(Also sorry if I couldn't be clearer, not a easy macro to use. But if you are able to, it will be chiller! :D)

Phase 1
When The Lurker spawns the MT must be in position and grab aggro on him right away. You need to have the Off Tank 2nd on aggro, or when the Lurker does his Whirl and knocks back the MT out of melee range, he will attack the next target on his aggro list.

45 seconds into the fight he will start his first Spout. Drop into the water and then get out again and continue DPS. As soon as he's done with the Spout, he will do a Whirl so you must be on the edge of the platform when it's about to end. He will stay up for about 10-15 more seconds and then dive underwater. Then phase 2 begins.

Phase 2
When he dives, he spawns a total of 9 adds: 6 ranged Coilfang Ambushers (2 on each platform), and 3 melee Coilfang Guardians. All these adds can be Sheeped/Stunned/Disoriented/Snared.

Have about one group on each Ambusher pack and one group for the 3 Guardians.

Have the Guardian group kill the Guardians one by one, keeping one sheeped until the 2nd Guardian is almost dead. As soon as an Ambusher group is done with their pack, they must help out on the Guardians.

Coilfang Ambushers - 26k Health. They should be tanked by your DPS warriors/feral druids or even Rogues and High-HP mages if you don't have enough people. They have nasty burst damage and can Multishot for about 2.5k on leather.

They are currently very buggy and can sometimes despawn for no reason. Sometimes a healer will get aggro on them from the Lurker platform and they will start evading until the healer jumps over onto the Amusher's platform. Sometimes, if the Lurker emerges while an Ambusher is evading someone, the Lurker will despawn, so be careful.

Coilfang Guardians - 60k Health. The first two should be tanked by the Main Tank and Off Tank and the last one should be tanked by one of the DPS warriors/feral druids who's platform adds are dead. They need to be sheeped and killed one by one. When one pack of Ambushers dies, the group that's killing them has to switch to the Guardians. Guardians must be killed before The Lurker emerges, or he will probably bug.

You must kill all mobs before the Lurker emerges. If there's a mob left when he emerges, either kill it really fast while keeping away from the Whirl the Lurker does after emerging, or sheep it and kill it after the Spout.

The Lurker emerges back up 1 minute after he has submerged.

He will Whirl as soon as he emerges and then he will start Spouting. The Main Tank must be in his usual tanking position and grab aggro on the Lurker immediately so that the Spout will start from the MT's position and not from a random person in the raid (which invariably causes a wipe).

After he's done with the Spout he'll Whirl again, and the fight continues like in Phase 1.

Repeat Phases 1 and 2 until he's dead.

Class Assignments

Main Tank
Tank the Lurker at the designated spot and dive under the platform when you see him about to start doing the Spout to avoid it.

Off Tank
Keep 2nd on the aggro list so that the Lurker will target you if the Main Tank gets knocked back out of melee range.

Rogues
In Phase 1, DPS the Lurker and stay on the innermost part of the platform. If you can time it right you can run out of melee range just before he Whirls, as I've seen some rogues do successfully. In general it doesn't do much damage and it's healable so don't bother much if you can't. In phase 2, go for the Ambushers. You can Evasion-tank them if anything happens to the DPS warriors or feral druids assigned to tank on your platform.

Hunters
DPS the boss and keep your pets away.

Mages
DPS the Lurker. When he starts doing his Spout you can run a bit and then Blink back through the Spout into your position and keep DPS-ing while he rotates. You can also use Iceblock if your Blink is on cooldown, or if you've been knocked into the water and are on low health from the fishes while you get healed back up.

When Phase 2 hits, you need to keep 2 or all 3 of the Guardians s

Commentaire de 77553

As a healer be aware of your surroundings dont get agro from the adds when he submerges, as a shaman put down stoneclaw gives a second or two for a mage to sheep that add on you, nevertheless, watch out for spout, go underwater 1 second before it happens to 100% avoid it and go back on the surface when it passed you, remember when he comes back up from submerge its an instant spout so go in the water immediately when he comes back up for complete safety. Thats All I can say as a healers job for this boss. Raid healer that is.

Commentaire de 15038

My guild was having a hard time with the adds due to a possible bug. If we didn't kill all the naga before Lurker emerged, the remaining Guardians would port all over the area one-shotting everyone. All attempts to CC/Tank/Misdirect it would immediately break and he'd port to another spot at random. Because of this DPS couldn't catch him no matter what and those that did would be immediately one shotted and resulted in a wipe. We found a way around it by killing the guardians off first while keeping the Ambushers CC'd and then moved on to them afterward. (Aug 21, 2007)

Commentaire de 27620

Do we have to go under the water when he does his spout, or as long as we are in the water we will not get dmg?

Commentaire de 88821

A few tips for this fight:

Ranged DPS: You can start all out dps as soon as he emerges. I have yet to ever pull agro on this fight starting dps as soon as he is targetable, this is as a shadow priest with vampric embrace up at all times. Strafe off the platform/island while still facing the lurker and just fall into the water, by doing this you can still maintain dps and its much easier to get back onto the island.

Spouts: you do not need to dive underwater to avoid the spout, so long as you are swimming you will avoid the spout. Also, swimming in the opposite direction of the spout will minimize the time in the water (IE, spout is going clockwise, jump in and swim counter clockwise as it gets close), and do NOT repeatedly jump, it's not lava. Jumping repeatedly will often just refresh the damage the water deals and cause you to lose much more life than you would by just staying in the water, so in essence its actually the opposite of lava.

Priests and Shaman that survive the initial spout CAN survive and make it back to the fight by quickly popping water walking or levitate, this can save you from a death or being out of combat rez range, although considering the time allowed to get in the water, you should never get hit with spout if you are paying attention.

Useful tactic: Island CC~ with a few warlocks/hunters/Shadow Priests/Mages; you can easily CC the ranged adds in this fight by placing W/H/SP/M's on the 3 islands. The ranged adds will always swim onto the islands, and for a second they will not attack. this gives you time to select targets, drop traps and ready fears/poly. Repeated low rank fears by warlocks/Poly on one target and/or hunter traps can keep the ranged mobs out of the fight for the entire encounter, having shadow priests on the islands also helps the hunter if their trap gets resisted, plus keeps the mana flowing via Vampiric Touch. The islands are also in range to shaman totems (might require Totemic Mastery if they are on the back of the island, not 100% sure), allowing them to be in range of both the island group as well as the MT and the majority of the raid.

The best part of this tactic is you will not get new ranged adds every submerge, meaning only 3 melee adds between submerges to fight on the main island, once you get this strat down the fight is very trivial.

Commentaire de 17624

this boss is one of many good reasons to level your fishing skill, although you can fish him with a fairly low skill. I had about 338 and a +25 fishing rod and he comes up easy enough, I imagine you could do it at 300 fishing but don't know for sure.

Have since levelled fishing to 352 just waiting on raid at this boss, as we're still working on him. 3 weeks now, and 8%, so levelling the rest of my fishing may just have to wait;)

Commentaire de Vanel

did anyone notice a larger hit box since last patch? our melees got it even by standing on the outer edge in some position, it was pretty odd since ranged/healer were standing there as well...

Commentaire de Darkicon

If you have multiple Shadow Priests in your raid, and your healers have plenty of mana regen, it is a good idea to have them all in 1 group and stay in the water almost all of the fight (Except during submerge). VE will handle all of the healing for them from the Scalding Water damage. This way, shadow priests are able to constantly do damage and not need to worry about getting in the water when he Spouts or Whirls.

Commentaire de Avalonia

This is just a very annoying fight. The key is to keep everyone alive. Timing the spouts is VERY important.

Honestly, this is the fight that I cheer when I get put on the stand by list. I hate doing this fight. There is nothing that Blizzard can possibly reward me with that is going to make me like this fight. I am more than willing to pass up any gear that he drops.

Take 2: We tried him again today and I have to say this fight just sucks. The key is NOT DIEING TO SPOUTS. Get in the water. Normally everyone just dies to spout. Other than that the fight isn't that incredibly horrible.

On another note, for feral druids, all you get if you do kill him is some stupid ring that is barely better than other rings you can get. I would have to say that its just a pointless fight for the actual loot for all classes. He is like the fish boss in ZG that you only did if your mage wanted a turtle. Cept that boss wasn't nearly as annoying as this one.

Commentaire de gardai

this boss is easy. just get the raid to jump before the spout and promote the mages for marks on the adds that they pollymorph. keep 3 adds pollyed all the time so you just get 3 adds at the next submerge.

If you are melee, jump forward instead of backwards during spout.
You can still dps while in water and take no damage from spout.

Important tip: People who are standing on platforms must not heal or use pots when the adds spawn until tanks have aggro on them. I used a potion when the adds initially spawned, caught full aggro on all adds, and died immediately when they all ported to me.

After 2.4 Lurker will no longer be required to kill Lady V. Most of his gear is going to be able to be replaced by badges, and there will be very little reason to actually worry about killing him except to keep his trash from respawning.

Once the pain in the arse children's toy gone wrong boss is optional it will be intersting to see which guilds actually bother killing him.

Commentaire de 25795

have tanks build a little bit of threat on the guardians before sheeping them

With a mouseover macro, a tank can apply sunders to the already sheeped mob without auto-attacking and breaking the poly. That saves the tank from the initial damage and conserves a bit of the healers' mana.

Commentaire de tlanwarrior

This fight is apparently broken with 2.4

My guild's tank was getting randomly knocked out of the water and into the spout, along with melee dps (and myself as an encha shaman) were getting random kick backs without him doing whirl.

Our hunters have also reported his spout hitting them while under water.

Not to mention the bug with Draenei Females and not being able to jump up on the platforms.

Don't jump into the water to avoid spout it will hit you if you are in the air.
Instead back up into the water so you are swimming, it's much quicker.

Commentaire de Lukrid

If your guild is looking for a quick way to skip the trash before lurker and jump to this boss immediately, you can easily swim to the platforms that you need to clear to get rid of the fishies. Simply have AoE classes cast AoEs on the surface of the water while other people swim across, the fish will take initial damage from the AoE, target the AoEer who is on land, and begin to evade. Using this method you can skip a good deal of Hydross trash and get to Lurker quickly if your group doesn't have tanks with the necessary resist gear for Hydross.

Commentaire de 130458

The agro in this battle is established by proximity. Lurker will agro the closest player to him. thats why you can all out dps from start to finish. Your tank should just stand on the inner ring while everyone else not on an island should be on the outer side of the ring.

Commentaire de 164471

An easy way to get back up on the ledge is to first not dive under water. When spout passes over run into the ledge then jump while still pressing forward/backward.

A particularly fun way to do this is on the very bottom of the floor, way underwater. Makes it MUCH more challenging, especially because of the "out of range and hes tossing frostbolts" thing.

Commentaire de jameinel

Duo'd as a Feral Druid and a Holy Paladin (roughly T10/T9 gear).

The fight was fairly long (15-20min), and the lurker went below 3 times (last time was at something like 2%).

We chose to just fight under the water the whole time. Now that you can hold your breath for 3 min, you don't have to worry about dying (you have to come up to fight the adds anyway). The 500 damage / 3s is nothing for 2 people and one healer.

The adds are annoying, mostly because they are so spread out. We decided to kill the 3 melee on the main isle, and then kill one or 2 of the outer groups. It means they keep multi-shotting you. However, it is easily healed through. We usually got 1 outer group, occasionally 2 down, and then went back under the water when Lurker came back.

You do need to be careful about the melee adds. The holy paly can take a bit of a beating, but they could probably kill him if you left them attacking.

Lurker is (not easily) soloable by a Sub Rogue at 85.

It requires you to use your abilities at the right time, I haven't done this with assassination, but I would say it would be much harder considering how mobility is really required here else you will get gibbed by the fact that you need to gap close sometimes, else he will hit you with his ice bolt shizzle which does more damage than anything.

Commentaire de Manae

He's a pretty easy solo for a hunter, but you just have to be ready to put up with a lot of bull due to poor AI. Once you fish him up, hop to the ranged platform by the pillar and start firing away using misdirect to keep him on your pet. Keep to the front of the platform and any geyser that hits you should land you very close if not on the platform yet, and you can avoid any fish spawns. if you do get some and they keep hitting you while on the platform, just hit FD and they will despawn. Avoid the spout by hopping in the water as it passes (you're almost sure to get some fish at this point). If you do get hit and are on the right side of the platform, there's a chance you'll just smack the pillar instead of flying out 100 yards, so that's why you're on that one.

When he submerges, use disengage to get to the middle ring, sick you pet on the melee, and take out the six ranged. They die in two to three shots, so it's more running than shooting. Finish off the melee, disengage back to your ranged platform, and just rinse and repeat. Just beware that he'll spout again as soon as he emerges, so watch if he faces you for it.

As for dealing with bull... well, there's pathing issues. When your pet gets knocked off the platform, it'll often end up doing weird things like staying under it or get stuck in it and be considered out of line of sight. And since you and it are both in combat, telling it to stop attacking will not fix it. It's just stuck. Probably until the end of the fight, though it will still tank and sometimes after getting knocked around it'll path properly. On the plus side, this introduces a bug during the add phase: hit a melee add and FD. All three melee adds will go to your pet, and most of the time all six ranged adds just despawn. From there, it's just easy pickings to concussive shot an add and kite it to death. If you get them all down before Lurker emerges, it's possible to recall your pet and break the dumb LoS bugs, at least until the next knockback.

Spout also tends to go further than 360 degrees, so beware of that if you think it'll stop right before it gets to you. It can also knock you within a disengage of your platform, or some fifty yards or more away. If you're MM, this is a good time to use Readiness. Disengaging and then deterrence will get you most of the way back and prevent a lot of damage, and Readiness lets you double the effectiveness if you have it. If you get knocked so far your pet despawns, though, just FD on the spot and start over. Sucks if he's low, yes, but a lot safer than hoping to get back to him before the combined water bolts and a dozen fish nibbling at your ass finish you off.

Commentaire de Skorpion9x

Easily soloed on my Feral Druid in ilvl 366 dps gear, tank spec.

Used bear form for most of the fight. Most of the time, I would anticipate a knockback and step into the water so it wouldn't throw me out of his range. When I did get knocked off the platform, I would feral charge back into him. During spouts, I went cat form for some extra dps.

For add phases, I went immediately to an island with ranged adds. This caused the melee adds to all teleport right to me for easy aoeing. After the ranged adds died, I'd make my way to the next platform while still swiping the melee guys. Lurker usually reemerged just as I was killing the last adds. Repeated until he died and collected gold/purples.

Commentaire de 808135

Very easy for a blood dk in dps gear, I clicked on the wrong equipment set after fishing him up but in the end it worked out good. All damage was very easy to cover with deathstrike spam.

If you don't have a target it's totally worth jumping into the water to get some fishes for your deathstrike.

Looong fight for 250g, in the end it's not really worth it.

Commentaire de Dragon007

Soloed the fishing quest for this on my 85 Shammy last night. His gear is pretty crappy (239 item score), so really just about anyone level 85 should be able to do this.

If you get lost easily or have never been in there before, here's what you do:

First, get a water walking potion or 5. (I find water walking to be a little buggy and if you get hit just once your potion will dispel and you'll need another).

Enter through the waterfall entrance in Coilfang Reservoir to get into the instance. (That's the underwater instances in Zangamarsh...) The waterfall is a little buggy. You need to be in raid and I found that I had to click the summoning stone for the waterfall to part.

Once in, take the elevator down. Get off at the bottom and head up the little spiral ramp off to the right and you'll find another little elevator going up. Take that.

Once up top, run down the path until you come up to a set of trash mobs. Edge past them (they didn't aggro for me). You'll find a big brown guy patrolling right after the trash. (Forget his name.). You can't get past him without fighting. Kill him.

This next set of trash is a little more twitchy, you have to be very careful to stay at max range to avoid aggroing them. Continue on the path past the next set of trash. Just past them is another brown guy. Kill him.

Now you can go left toward platforms or right toward what looks like a dead end. (Directly in front of you are watery looking mobs). However, it is not a dead end. You'll find that on the right side of the dead end is a pipe that leads down to the water. Follow it down and take your water walking potion. Enter the water here. If the potion bugs, the fish will kill you fast, so stay close until you know that it worked. Get back up on the pipe if the potion fails and try again.

Once walking on the water, head in the direction of the platforms you just avoided. You'll find a pipe heading up. Follow it up. You'll find yourself between two platforms filled with trash. Continue straight ahead and find the pipe heading down. Still with water walking on, head down and walk on the water.

Just a little off to the right ahead of you will be what looks like a huge fishing pool surrounded by a brown ledge. Walk up on the brown ledge and fish. Took me 4 tries before the boss appeared. As soon as he appears you get the achievement. You don't need to fight him.

If you are fast enough you might hearth out of there, but I didn't manage it and died. Rezzed at the spirit healer.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Vaugn

I just solo'ed the Lurker Below as a discipline priest in (aveage) ilevel 371 gear. Great if you're like me and want to get the "loot 100,000 gold" achievement but don't have duo'ing partners.

A few notes.

1 - Ignore the nagas with the bows. A single power word: shield will absorb all of their damage over 15 seconds. It's not worth the mana output to kill them.

2 - Kill the nagas with the swords fast. They hurt more than anything else in the fight, and all three beating on you at once will knock your health down fast. Someone suggested jumping on an island and AoEing down all 3 swordsmen along with 2 archers, but I found it wasn't necessary.

3 - The Lurker's knockbacks are extremely annoying. DOTs are key to damaging him, including holy fire. Smite when you can, but his knockbacks make it difficult. A well-timed shadowfiend can do wonders for getting some nice power infused-smite spam on him.

4 - The lurker needs to have someone in melee range at all times, else he starts chaining Water Bolt (a spell he only casts when no one is next to him). I also noticed his spout ability would sometimes "lock onto" me if I was too far back. So avoid spout at all costs. If you get knocked wwwaaaayyy back with spout, you're in serious trouble.

5 - Whenever he spouts, drop into the water next to him, pop a shield to absorb some damage from the fish (it won't absorb many of their hits -- they hit surprisingly hard) and start going to town on the boss. Once your shield is down hop back up and move around the platform. His spout is more than 360 degrees, so you will have to strafe a bit.

6 - The best place to tank the boss is not in front of a torch (to stop you from being knocked back), as you'll often go flying off to one side or the other. Rather, stand on the "rivulet" of water across the board with the large stone block in back. His knockbacks will happen a lot, and you'll often hit the wall. (He often chains two knockbacks in a row, so the wall comes in handy).

7 - Mana is an issue, so use shadowfiend when it's up, pop archangel frequently, and hymn of hope when the 3 swordsmen nagas are down (as you'll have about 10 seconds of downtime.)

8 - You'll do a ton of insta-casting in this fight because of the knockbacks, but you'll need the extra armor because you get hit a lot by the fish / nagas. I found it easier to stay with inner fire for the extra armor, but I could see a player swapping between inner fire/will depending on whether they're tanking nagas or not.

9 - Expect to take about 30 minutes to solo him.

When fishing up this Baddy, you need keep in mind that he is not small. NOT SMALL AT ALL. The first time The Lurker makes a jump out of the water I had a mini freak out when he took up a little more than half of my screen. Just keep that in mind if you have yet to see him.

Commentaire de 91661

Soloed as a DK tank today. My advice is that you keep in the water all the time very close to him to avoid being knocked back. The fishes won't hit you hard. When he disappears, just kill the melee Naga, they'll come to you.

Solo'd today as an Enhance Shammy in full Ruthless. The battle is really, really easy (unless he figures he'll glitch on you, more on that later). Stand on the circle near the platform that has a hole in the middle, as it's the thickest section, and you won't get knocked off the ring and Waterbolt spammed a few times. His knockback'll hit you once or twice but just run back in. When he takes a 'deep breath', instant-cast Ghost Wolf and circle him, keeping close to the center of the ring to avoid getting hit by it (or drop in the water, but hey, I didn't know about that until now!). When he dives, the adds that spawn will drop quickly, and if you're bored, you can run around shooting the archers with lightning bolts. He'll resurface, and just continue the fight as usual.

However, my first two attempts he seemed to enjoy glitching on me. I would be well ahead of Spout (his 'deep breath'), like almost no the opposite side, so I'd smack him. He'd turn around instantly, knock me back, and just start at me as I tried to swim back in, knocking me back over and over as his fish beat on me and he spammed Waterbolts on me. :( Not fun stuff, and my puppies either wouldn't, or couldn't, get close to him to stop the Waterbolt spam.

It's really easy to solo this as a balance druid, just turn on the scalding water to kill all frenzies and you can just swim inside the ring for the whole fight (Scalding water ticks for only 500 damage every 3 seconds and doesn't cause spell pushback).
After fishing him up jump straight into the pool and Dot him up. Every time he knocks you back try to melee attack him so that he registers that you are in melee range (Sometimes he just started spamming Water Bolt on me even though I was casting spells from inside him.) when he casts spout you can safely heal yourself to full health and also get some free uninterrupted casts in. When the boss submerges you should just cast one of your DoTs to all the adds that spawn and heal yourself if needed.
Remember to jump back into the inner pool before the boss comes back to surface because the first thing he does is Spout, and if you get knocked back you will most likely die!

Commentaire de Liri

The waters of Serpentshrine are filled with the Frenzies. You kill them by clearing Coilfang of the Lurker Below’s trash. When these trash packs are dead, the waters of SSC will boil killing all of them. When the Lurker dies the boilign stops so you can swim around.

Commentaire de RagingNerd

Tried soloing this boss on my tank paladin the other day after getting the fishing achievement. Knockbacks were annoying but everything was going well until he de-spawned on me with about 30% of his health left. I was underwater in melee range when it happened. Not sure what the issue could have been but I will try again this week.

Sp solo

Commentaire de Residentangel

Easily soloed by an 85 BM hunter. I used a shale spider and sat in front of the pillar-easy to climb out if you get hit by the geyser and knockback is cut off by the pillar.

Take your time and it's easily done.

Commentaire de Bayerino

Pretty simple solo for most 85 classes. Before you even hit the water though, you need to boil the Coilfang Frenzies. That happens when you clear the large circular (octagonal?) platforms of the Naga/Broken packs. (You will know when you have cleared the packs thoroughly when you noticed dead Frenzies float to the surface everywhere.) The damage from Scalding Water will be negligible to you, and goes away when the Lurker dies.

Then you can easily finish this fight by mostly remaining underwater right in front of him. That helps you somewhat avoid certain knock back nuisances. Honestly the hardest part for you will mostly likely be the periods where Lurker dives and leaves you with his adds. Damage from the ranged ones is almost negligible, and killing them would be a waste of time. (Unless you can use them to regenerate health somehow, Leader of the Pack for instance.) Burn the melee adds as quick as you can to buy yourself some time to heal up. Then continue on Lurker when he plops back up.

EDIT: Links. Everyone loves links.

Commentaire de Craz

Boss can be fished up with level 1 fishing. Took around 5 casts to get him to spawn with level 1 fishing. I didn't use a lure and just a plain +0 skill fishing pole. Tried again with level 6 fishing and again he spawned around the 5th cast. Always got Raw Greater Sagefish every time the boss didn't spawn.

Commentaire de Hairband

Cross referenced with The Lurker Above achievement:

I thought the comments here were horrible and need updating for Cataclysm Salty seekers. To this end, I have submitted a nice screenshot with a overview of what you are swimming for (instead of a large 90% filled shot of the mob you are trying to fish up, complete with giant label over his head, which doesn't help tell me where I need to be).

Get into the Serpentshrine Caverns raid. It's really obvious where to go as there is a dead end to a down elevator, then, another dead end to an up elevator. From there, you take a walkway similar to any of the Coifang dungeons to a platform, kill mobs (these are moss guys and naga and rays), then turn left to a platform and kill more mobs. I did not have much trouble soloing sensible pulls on my Fury warrior, but did not aggro the room. I did try some water walking pots but the frenzies kept getting me. I do not recommend this way.

On about the second platform, you see a Strange Pool. See picture.

How are you going to see it? It's surrounded by a little floating raft-looking ring, so obvious that you will know you are supposed to stand on and fish. Assuming you know a thing about fishing. How do you get to it? When you are on that second circular platform, heading right to left, you will use a tube ramp to walk down toward the Strange Pool and you have to swim about 30 yards with Frenzies biting at you. Do not fight them; just keep swimming to the raft ring/wall contraption and get out of combat. I tried fighting them and counted about 5 lvl 70 elite frenzies and couldn't kill or self heal so just swim to safety.

Three casts or so, boom, out comes this huge mob, achievement earned, probably die after like I did but so what.

ETA: That I cross referenced this post, original, with the achievement.

Note:Lurker's Below HP values are innacurrated.Wowhead set its values on 5.3m when in live servers he has like 2.5millons of HP.

Commentaire de 897102

Easily soloed by a 85 combat rogue.

You should basically be facing the boss with your back turned against the southern rock pillar, so that you won't get pushed (too far) into the water with all the biting fishies. When he uses Sprout, run a full circle around the platform trailing it (but save your glyphed sprint for crossing the water), and return to your original position.

When the adds spawn kill the melee nagas and make haste to kill two packs of the naga archers. You can safely leave the third pack alive, since their arrows won't deal that much damage. If the boss happens to return while you're still fighting the nagas, you'll just get knocked back far away into the water, so it's better to be back at your original safe position next to the wall than to be sorry and eaten by the little evil fishies.

Commentaire de 845035

I don't understand why I have to be in a RAID group to get this achievement. The "raid" is not even available in the "raid finder" and I play solo. Not cool to create an achievement that is unattainable. Perhaps this one could be changed somehow to allow those who play solo to get in for the achievement purpose...please?

Commentaire de Znakoma

For all lvl 90 rogues out there who want's to solo The Lurker Below, you should pick the lvl 90 talent Shuriken Toss, as it makes it a lot easier to kill the ranged adds that spawn when the boss goes diving. This should save you some time.

Commentaire de Kahtek

Most of these comments seemed to imply it doesn't take very long to fish him up, leaving me worried I was doing something wrong when after 10 attempts, I still didn't get him.

It took me a total of 21 tries to fish up the Lurker so if you don't get him in a few attempts, don't get discouraged. Apparently it can take a lot longer.

Commentaire de 917920

Killed this boss solo as an ilvl 394 lvl 87 Blood DK. Fishing him up took me about 15 attempts, but the achievement for fishing him up actually pops up before he does, so it's not a surprise (that's if you haven't fished him up before, of course).

Standard Blood DK rotation, only note is on positioning. Try to stay underwater next to him. His Spout ability only hits things above the water, so you can totally ignore it. He'll knock you back but it'll only hit you back to the ring of wood (which resets your breath meter too), and it's easy to get back to him.

He submerges after 2 minutes or so, then some adds get summoned - 3 sets of 2 archers on the outside floating pieces, and 3 melee adds directly on you. The adds are really easy to kill (70-80k HP), and I only killed one set of archers each time because i wanted to keep blood shield up while i waited for him to emerge. The archers do about 500 damage when they hit, which isn't very often, and there's never more than 2 per raft, so more won't spawn if you leave the first ones alive.

I killed him just before his third submerge, but I was still at near-full health. Definitely a grindy fight, not a DPS race or anything like that. He does have a berserk timer around 10 minutes, though, so make sure you can kill him before then, not hard as I only averaged 12k DPS and it took about 6 minutes.

Any class with decent self-healing should be able to take him if you remember to stay under the water. Spout hits 7-8 times for 3k each hit (on a tank, no less), so I imagine it might really hurt a squishier player trying it.

Side note: You don't need to activate scalding water, but I found it advantageous. It hits for 500 damage every second (minimal, really), and it was easier than bothering with the fish (which do about the same DPS and add some screen clutter). (activate scalding water by clearing all the platforms around the top.)

Edit: I have learned now that spout can be avoided just by being in the water and not under it, but any knockbacks that knock you up and out of the water leave you vulnerable.

Took me 13 casts from fishing skill 1 to 13.

Commentaire de Bodomi

This boss has been un-summonable since patch 5.2.
I have made a ticket about it and submitted a bug report, still no fix....

Cmon Blizzard... I know there's a lot of glitches in the game, but not fixing a raid boss, fixing it so we can actually kill it? That's low..

Commentaire de Trialzero

I was able to summon him today, though it took an enormous amount of casts. I did it on a character that had never fished before, and I ended up getting the 25 fish achievement, and then fished about a dozen more times, along with a few casts from the buddy who was with me.

I didn't keep count, but it was definitely over 30 casts, and probably more than 40. It seems to just be taking me much longer than usual, but he does still show up, eventually.

Keep Fishing!

Got him on the first cast, with no baubles and with my fishing only at 10.:D

Just had a Noyau contaminé drop for me off of Lurker, when I've only known it to drop off of Hydross the Unstable. Dunno if it's a bug since the BfA pre-patch hit, but it is nice to get an extra pet drop.

Commentaire de sallypantsiscool

Here's how I did it as a level 87 Blood Elf Warrior. It was not difficult for me to do and you can use water walking potion if desired, but if you get hit, which is possible, it'll stop working. Enemies looked to be around level 70 elite, except the Lurker. I received minimal damage using this method, which included some water walking & some swimming. I did not fight the Lurker & didn't kill anything in the cavern to complete this.

Go to Zangarmarsh in the Outlands
Go to Coilfang Reservoir in the central area of the map
Locate the 4 spires in the middle of the lake and swim down in the middle of them to locate a tunnel & swim through it (no water breathing potions needed, this should use left than half your full breath, then you'll be out of the water once in the cavern)
Once in the cavern, go straight through the waterfall wall to enter Serpentshrine Cavern
There is an elevator - wait for it to come to a complete stop at the top before getting on as it will drop extra fast once it starts descending & you will fall to your death if you're not already on it
Continue inside and go up another elevator
You'll see some enemies nearby up ahead - this is not where you need to go, just leave them
Pull up your map and locate "The Lurker Below" marker toward the left of the first enemies & toward the center of the map
You can walk down to the water or jump in - head toward the left and start navigating through the water toward the Lurker. There may be some level 70 (elite?) fish that mess with you, but just keep going. You'll see a large ring of wooden debris on the water.
Stand on the ring and fish. I got the achievement in the first cast. This triggers the Lurker. He'll shoot at you, but won't follow you, although he has a decent range. My health was barely affected.
RUNNNN or swim back to the entrance and get outta there (I just ran back up that ramp and waited until there was nothing attacking me & hearthstoned outta there)

It was nowhere as challenging as I thought it was going to be, but being high level probably helped with that. I was having a heck of a time figuring out where exactly to go & what to do, so I thought I'd include my full experience here. I hope it was helpful to you!

I haven't seen this mentioned yet: how to get back up to the platforms after beating The Lurker Below. Pretend the circle around his spawn point is a clock face. There are 2 pipes that reach into the water and can be seen from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock: you can walk up either side to get out of the water.
