pour le dernier après plusieurs tentatives j ai trouver une astuce. Il suffit de l attirer vers l escalier et quand il lance son sort on descend l escalier. Elle va vous suivre mais les boules restent en haut ...

Commentaire de Alkony

Had a problem on my demon hunter of not being able to interrupt Shadow Barrage when fighting the final apprentice. Managed to get him down on the 5th try because stuns started working for some reason, but still died, however when I rezzed at the top of the tower, I did get credit for completing the quest.

The only thing I did differently when stuns worked was rez at the bottom of the tower and redo the interactions with Xylem. The students I had defeated remained friendly, though some of the constructs had respawned.

Commentaire de Mizeera

Just kill all the Apprentices in the building

Commentaire de Reignac

Sanath Lim-yo has an attack that really hurts. I died once, and the second time had to burst him down before he could cast it.

Commentaire de Ukuli

Right order: Arcane - Frost - Fire - Shadow

Commentaire de terrymcd4

Had trouble at first with Lim-yo's Shadow Barrage. What I finally did was right after He teleports, head to the side of the room opposite the portal, that gives more time to dodge the barrage. Had to do this twice before finishing him off.

Commentaire de Randjolaf

I abandoned the quest because I wanted to hear the voice-overs. I didn't hear them, but all the apprentices became non-hostile, so I just walked upstairs and beat the final mage. Easy peasy! I guess you can use this, if anyone is having trouble with other mages, or just wants to skip them.

Commentaire de mercy

so after about 4 attempts on my ilvl 868 Havoc DH, I was getting irritated. So I switched to vengence, and used the much better interrupts and healing ability and had no problems. Problem solved, Havoc DHs.

Commentaire de alpanhell

the instructions for this are real misleading, it's really just about killing all the apprentices.

Commentaire de Doloria

Archimage Xylem's taunt is talk. Mocking, funny and looped. You can't attack him. You can't interact with the neutral apprentices, so you take down one freeing the apprentice. The free apprentices won't assist, they just remain where they are. Like the others say, the Blood Elf mage Sanath Lim-Yo at the portal hits hard.

Archimage Xylem escapes with the Iris. You step through the portal and go to Dal. On turn in, you get your weapon level upgraded/downgraded to level 35/1 (:0). So if your main or alts have completed artifacts AND unused artifact power on your bar that entitles you to add one or more traits, don't upgrade your artifact weapon until after the weapon transformation.
Go to Archimage Xylem's page for his back story.

Commentaire de cgilm2526

Had trouble with Sanath Lim-yo on my DK. Couldn’t burn her down before the Barrage. End up running to the other side of the floor while the barrage was going off. Barrage seemed to be cast on a specific spot and not me. Once it was over, went back and killed her. Barrage wasn’t cast a second time.

Commentaire de Alizara

My Frost Death Knight got killed repeatedly in the last step. I switched to Blood and that helped me survive longer. I finally completed it by using the deep recess in the wall that is counterclockwise from the portal. I started by yanking the mage over to in front of that recess, and I tried to stay as deep as I could in the recess while fighting, to avoid the balls of shadow.

Commentaire de alpanhell

Another buggy quest, shocker...

I died just as I conquered the last mage, the quest bugged (wouldn't list as finished) so I had to abandon the quest and do it all over again.

Also, saw several other problems. When you first enter the tower Xylem is supposed to stop you, show your true self, etc and then run off. Sometimes this doesn't happen which is very confusing.

Also, saw mobs (voids) spells attacking you yet you seem to have no aggro from one (can't see where it's coming from). So makes it impossible to stop and heal/eat. So even though in theory you don't have to kill everything before getting to the top, probably a good idea. Make sure you're at full hp for the last mob, he hits hard (spells can hit for over 1 mill each).

Commentaire de Connelle

Did they make it a lot easier? I just did it on my new 110 DH,she's only at 798 ilvl.
Did my burst just do a lot more than I thought it would?

Commentaire de kidistight

HATE this quest, did it 4 if not 5 times and burned him down and he didn't die. Played a more cat and mouse game and didn't even burn him all the way and completed the quest.

Commentaire de JohnPWest

Havoc DH. Died multiple times.. Tried vengeance, but I don't have the weapon or armor, so that wasn't going to work. Hiding in the alcove worked. Beat on him until he starts to cast, run to alcove. Once he came out in front of the alcove it was easier to beat on him. He cast barrage and I backed up into a corner and expected to die. Nope, the barrage went left to right in front of me. Final beat down was easy.

Quest deleted. I hope the person who designed this wets their bed every night for the rest of their life.

Commentaire de Beramus

Well, I died several times on my Surv spec, it's kinda too hard to avoid the balls in melee range since they are random. Switched to BM and burned him fast instead, much easier.

Commentaire de Ethereality

This quest was a pain in ass. I tried the alcove thing but didnt work for me as havoc DH. Switched to vengeance and that helped a little as i could survice 1 shadow blast but he was still killing me. Finally got him by interupting spells and backing up to top of stairs. Then everytime he does the shadow bursts, i just go down stairs a little so they all fly above me, then back up stairs, burst him a bit then down again.. he got 3 casts off of the shadow before i got him down low enough, but was pretty easy using the stairs. I did clear all the guys on the level below him also first.

Commentaire de Taus

Rather than trying to dodge the orbs back and forth, I had a much easier time doing it as follows. Now, I don't remember the exact directions, so let's make the mob's starting position 12:00. I pulled them (Death Grip) to around 4:00 and fought there until he started channeling the one-hit spell. As soon as the orbs started flying, I ran around the room clockwise, ending up roughly where I started when the orbs stopped. To do it this way you definitely have to clear the floor below, as those mobs will attack you at various points in the run.

Commentaire de NinjaFlibble

frost DKs, just go Unholy. Doesn't matter if the weapon has no runes or power. Tried this four or five times on an 809 frost DK and died every time. Only reason it took two tries for the unholy was cause one shadow barrage came from behind me. And the trick to go down the ramp during shadow barrage really works. I gripped him to there and the rest was easy. Except for the second shadow barrage, was fortunately able to get behind it.
(yes, I know my gear's crap. DK isn't my main)

Commentaire de ChivalrysGhost

Best way i've found on some of my undergeared alts, is when he starts with shadow barrage, i jump down onto the ramp, just far enough down that they can't hit me, then running back up when it ends.

Commentaire de rameymj

It's possible to do as Frost DK. At the top of the ramp, face Sanath Lim-yo. Death grip him to platform at top of stairs. Fight for a bit, when he starts to cast Shadow Barrage, go downstairs just a bit, so balls fly over your head. At the end of the cast, wait until the balls clear, and kill him. -- not sure if this will work for lower equipment levels, as he will teleport around a bit. You might need to count the number of other casts to time your retreat. Interrupts don't seem to help; they seem to accelerate the casting of barrage.

Commentaire de Boxofbeer

Get into the tower, there Xylem inside. He'll spot you arent just visitor and run up to the top.
You have to follow him, move up to the top, killing mages and arcane elementals.
When you reach the top floor, defeat Sanath Lim-yo. The only problem is Shadow Barrage, that may kill you with a single hit.
Keep cds and any cc, use it when Sanath Lim-yo has around 40% hp. Otherwise you have to dodge barrage as a monkey.

Commentaire de wowheadrhino7

After MANY attempts (yelling and tearing of hair included), here is how my Arms Warrior FINALLY finished this quest. Use Heroic Throw & Charge to start/continue the fight, Rend, Mortal Strike (2), Colossus Smash, Whirlwind and Ravager. Use the stairs to avoid Shadow Barrage and 2nd Wind will heal you while you wait for them to stop. Took 3 trips down the stairs and waiting for Shadow Barrage to finish to do enough damage to finish Lim-Yo. Patience FTW.

Commentaire de mad010

why no one tried to go down the stair during the barrage?
done at first try, just go down the first curl then go back up ang finish him off

Commentaire de andrea22uk

Just jump down the stairs a little.. he doesn't reset and doesn't follow you.

Commentaire de mageranger13

Had trouble triggering the Xylem event when the portal dropped, second character ive had this happen on, had to run out of the tower, relog and run back in.

Commentaire de Alizara

My subtlety rogue was having a lot of trouble with this. She was newly 110, upped to Artifact Knowledge 40 by a book purchased by one of my longtime 110 chars. The rogue's iLvl was still under 800 and she had crappy relics in her weapon. She died about a dozen times trying to kill the apprentice up top, using my trick of causing the apprentice to come to a nook/dip in the wall counterclockwise from the portal, and fighting from the inner corner closest to the portal. The second round of shadow blasts would always come around the corner and get her.

I took the advice about of gearing up. For several days I did world quests, emissary boxes, Broken Shore quests & war supplies boxes to upgrade my gear, got a ton of artifact knowledge and upgraded my weapon relics. I got her to iLvl and Artifact iLvl of 835-840 with 54 levels of points on her non-upgraded Artifact. She lucked out and got a legendary from a 4-world-quest emissary box so that helped her iLvl (and luckily was the trinket that gave her a damage spell).

I went back to this quest, stealthed to the apprentice, hit him with my big damage cooldowns (NO STUNS), kicked him to interrupt his first spell, ran into the close corner of the nearest counterclockwise nook in the wall. He followed. I jammed myself in that corner hoping the first shadow blasts would not curve enough to make it around that corner. I could barely reach the mage but kept hitting him and stunned him to keep him there. When the shadow blasts stopped I moved a bit closer and hit him with whatever i had. He gave up and I was alive (all before the second round of shadow blasts). I then completed the quest by closing the portal and turning it in to an NPC that showed up.

Commentaire de gonville

Everyone whining about "how easy Wow questing has became since vanilla" should roll a rogue and attempt to finish this quest at ilvl 791. Deleted for now. I may consider doing this when I've hit 860.
I sincerely hope that the quest designer spills his last bottle of cold beer on a hot summer night, 2 minutes past the closing time of the only local drugstore.

Commentaire de Atno

Some added tips I haven't seen included to date.
1. If you haven't even figured out how to get in the door the correct crystal order without getting one shotted, it is Top Right, Bottom Right, Top Left, Bottom Left.
2.Once you enter the door Archmage Xylem will freeze you in place and accuse you of not being an apprentice...astute he is.
3. He leaves you to his apprentices to kill them and follow him up the ramps to the top.
4. This is my havoc DH quest but couldn't do it in Havoc. Better heals, stuns, interrupts, taunts etc. with Vengeance.
5. Note if you die, the rez point is just around the corner from the door now. I think it used to be further away, just turn left and you're back in.
6. 2nd note if you die, do not rez outside. It will allow you to. Don't unless you are in serious need of repair, because if you rez outside you'll be starting from scratch once you enter.
7. Instead just run past the last apprentice you killed in ghost form and then rez. Continue to top and he'll turn you over to Sanath Lim-Yo.
8. At this point read prior posts. Shadow Barrage will one shot you. You have to find a way to avoid it.
9. I should mention the first time I did this I had just turned 110 and my iLvL was 756 in Havoc. I had to finally give it up and level gear to about 805 to where I stood a shot at this. Only took half a day to level gear.
10. The prior tips about jumping down the ramp on Lim are good unless you are really good with dodging. The shadow barrage is only going to be on top of the floor level so the ramp is the best / less frustrating way.
11. I think my fave reply to this thread so far has been "I hope the person who designed this wets their bed every night for the rest of their life."
12. Finally after hours of trying to do this on Vengence I finally almost gave up hope and switched back to havoc after bypassing the apprentice mobs. Got him first attempt at 805 iLvL Havoc
...*sighs...

Commentaire de Teebee2010

Frustration extravaganza, be prepared.

Frost dk, died repeatedly. What eventually worked for me:
Corpse run all the way to the top of the tower, release, and nuke the mage as hard as you can.

Commentaire de linda535

What worked for me on two different alts was just dying once and going all the way to the top, then finishing the battle. Prior to this, I tried all the awesome suggestions on this page and died upwards of 6 times on one toon and 3 times on the other. So, once you get "caught", keep running up as far as you can. If you don't die, great, but if you do, res at the top. Good luck.

Commentaire de janicia

I had a lot of trouble doing this on my Havoc Demon Hunter, even with the trick of going down the stairs to dodge the shadow barrage. He was just hitting me too hard, so I finally had to switch to Vengeance and that gave me more survivability.

Commentaire de Jaae

I know this isn't helpful in any way but I wanted to put it up just in case Blizzard looks at it. That being said: This is the most stressful and miserable thing I've done in WoW in a long time. exactly the thing I play WoW to get away from. ( I don't pvp )

Commentaire de maralen

I tried this quest on my shiny new havoc DH alt. I failed to get him. Went out on my Alt with my main Druid Toon and knocked over Silver Dragon mobs and geared up my Alt. I then bought some Fishbrul and had my Tendrils of the void avail on my cast bar. I went back to face Sanath Lim-yo with the fishbrul buff and morphed and jumped on him. I hit him with Fel barrage and Bladedance - fishbrul proc'ed and I set the voidtendrals on him and headed for the cornerspace noted above to wait out the Shadow barrage. I went back and finished him off - void tendrals were still up and he did not get to cast shadow barrage a second time. My Ilevel was 795 with my new belt, boots,cuffs and rings I got from my Main toon killing SiverDragon rares. Hope these suggstions help.

Commentaire de Dromboarstag

I recommend, if you die while battling Sanath, rez on that upper most level. I made the mistake of trying a rez on one of the lower ramps and ended up losing my disguise. I haven't figured out how to get it back yet.

Commentaire de thranathiril

What the actual #$%^ is the point of this quest that just has you dieing repeatedly. Not interesting and not helpful in learning your toon's abilities. Just a pointless and frustrating, meaningless bore of a quest. This is on a Frost DK.

Want to know why you are losing subscribers Blizz? It's crap like this quest.

Commentaire de Thedogsbeaulox

Have to say dgnuff has it, on my Rogue a quick sprint to the alcove did it great

Commentaire de Krysteen

After repeated frustration I found a slow but curiously easy way to do this on my Hunter.

1. Use a tanking pet, especially something like a turtle that can protect it self.
2. Set it on the target.
3. Hide in the alcove behind the target, with healing potions, bandages, turtle etc to stay alive. Press yourself right into the nearer corner.
4. As soon as the pet dies, res it. DO NOT heal it or attack the target as it will aggro it to you.
5. stay alive until your pet eventually gets it down low enough to finish the fight.

Worked like a dream.

Commentaire de Babytoes

As soon as you see him start casting barrage. Run behind a corner out of line of sight in one of the nooks around the room.

Commentaire de maccormaic

This is the 7th toon I've leveled to 110, a warrior. I've been on this quest line on shaman, DH, DK, pally, hunter, and mage -- and NONE of them had this kind of miserable experience on a quest you CANNOT avoid. I have been trying to dodge, as suggested, and so far, 8 attempts in, and I cannot avoid them all. One attempt, I did manage to get down the ramp, only to aggro one of the mobs from below, and between those two I got killed again. This is b*llsh*t.

UPDATE: Attempt 10 worked. Managed to jump down all three times to the ramp below, and only had to deal with one aggro'd mob. Thankfully, I had Gift of the Naaru, or I wouldn't have made it this time either. This is a *terrible* quest.

Commentaire de maidendg

7.3---NO MORE BARRAGE? I just finished this on my i824 Arms Warrior, I don't think we even need to do this quest since our Artifact is already empowered with additional trait slots. I did earn Power Unbound and Power Ascended achievements in the end. I walked in, all were yellow friendly, I attacked Sanath and he only threw Shadow Bolts. Easy kill, quest done. Unlike my DK and DH fights.

Commentaire de maralen

7.3 - Confirmed no more Shadow Barrage only Shadow Bolts directed at my Sublety Rogue during the fight. I got the Power Unbound Achievement only upon Raising my weapon. no Power Acended. My third slot and extra four Artifact slots were already present on my weapon.

Commentaire de Elfizm

This quest bugged out on me. I approached Archmage Xylem but he just faded and came back again but I wasn't trapped. I couldn't interact with him and attacking the mage he's standing with didn't initiate anything either. I tried dropping and retaking the quest, I even relogged. Nothing seemed to work.

I decided to just run upstairs and see what happened, I was part way up when the dialogue started and he ran past me continuing upstairs. None of the mages or elementals were agro.

I attacked the mage next to the portal on the top floor and finished the fight. Xylem disappeared through the portal and I was able to complete the quest as normal.

I tried to find a similar experience on here and the forums but I couldn't see anything like it.

Commentaire de Alytheon

For anyone doing this as of 9.1.5 this quest and all quests in this chain across most classes are bugged and scale to level 60. You can get through most of them if you are not level 60 if you bring a friend to help, however this quest is instanced so your friend will not be able to help you. I have raised a ticket and the response said that this is a known issue and the quest is not instanced so a friend should be able to help, this is incorrect.

Commentaire de Shinerkyd

As of June 29, 2022 - Patch 9.2.5

I was able to complete the quest by killing all of the yellow mobs, he will disappear, just keep going up killing mobs.

Commentaire de Ranadicus

Just run upstairs to the top of the tower and fight Sanath. After that the portal next to him will become active. That's all you need to do.
