I strongly recommend practicing this method on some of the trash nearby before attempting it on a quest mob. If you fail mid-fight, it is possible to make a "straight" jump from the edge of the railing onto the top of the railing, but it is chancy and more difficult, especially when you're getting hit (and possibly dazed). You're aiming right for the middle of the flat portion. I found a good measure was to jump from the second stair on the upper portion of the staircase, with a healthy angle towards the railing. ![]() It does not have a cast time, but makes a distinguishable sound.įor Theras, Alandien, and Varedis, what you want to do is jump from the upper portion of the staircase onto the flat portion of the railing between the far right brazier and the middle brazier. Also take note of the fact that Theras has a spell reflect ability that he uses every 30-45 second - it lasts for approximately 10 seconds, and resembles a blue mana shield. I imagine it would be very difficult if not impossible for any class except hunters and warlocks to use this strategy effectively. I was not able to successfully avoid this by moving out of LoS. It somewhat resembles the masses of rocks and eggs in the spider boss portion of ZG.Īll of the quest mobs have a mana burn ability. This is the area that the quest mobs will path through to bridge the gap between the "floor" and the railing. It is distinguishable by a large mass of rocks on the southern end. It is the first railing above Alandien, to the east. To clarify the above post a bit, you want to use the railing that runs north-south. Died twice learning the method and mastering the jump. Soloed by a 70 lock, 41/5/15, 1150 spell damage, ~8k hp, ~6.5k mana, used imp pet, no buffs. All four of these mobs are soloable using the strategy of exploiting the stair pathing mechanism. Handy video that details the basic strategy: Įdit(Patch 2.3.3) : Visited the location and seems that blizzard changed the terrain, as now both sides of the Railing are path-able by mobs, it is still possible to execute the kite, but it is MUCH harder and complicated.Ĭomment by CarsoI can verify the above post. After that its a straight forward kite back and forth By the time he reached me I was just barely able to pull it off. ![]() To over come this I almost let him catch up to me on the bottom, jumped up onto the ledge and used the book. Varedis and Theras can be reached by clearing a path towards the railing you use and kiting them to it.įor Varedis it was really tricky as near 50% he becomes invulnerable until the book is used on him, which has like an 10 second cast. Netharel is out of reach of this and I happened to luck out when there was a bunch of farmers to the point where I could simply just kite him out the front of the ruins. ![]() ![]() When you get the demon hunter near the railing with that feature it is possible to kite them back and forth by jumping onto the rail and then down, making the demon hunter run all the way around to reach you.īasicly, the stairs that lead towards Varedis from Alandien has a railing that holds three braziers, has an end where mobs can walk onto it and another, downward stair case where you can jump up onto it and thanks to pathing limitations mobs must run around.Īlandien is the easiest as the railing I used is right above her, just shoot her and shes basicly in position. The key feature of it is the rocky formations at one end of it that allows mobs to run up onto the railing structure and the downward stairs at the opposite end of the rocky part. You must take advantage of the railing on the stairs that is between Alandien and Varedis. Comment by 41366Possible to solo this entire quest as a hunter.
