Es todo estrategia. Como bien dice solos2 en la versión inglesa, consiste en:

1º. Coger uno de los gusanos en 27,36. Leerse las skills es interesante :P
2º. Para matar al coloso tienes que conseguir que se acumule las DoT de ácido 5 veces lo antes posible. Además, para poner las pegatinas hay que estar mirando al coloso de frente. Intenta no perder la acumulación del DoT porque si no es imposible matarle.
3º. Cuando el Coloso va a golpear el suelo tienes que enterrarte y moverte detrás suyo. No vayas muy lejos porque se reseteará. Una vez que lo haya lanzado, sal y encarate a él.
4º. Las habilidades no tienen CD general por lo que puedes usar las dos a la vez, sólo la DoT tiene un CD a tener en cuenta.
5º. Si en algún momento tienes que huir, métete bajo tierra y aléjate del Coloso.

Comentario de 362231

La explicación sera buena pero yo no la entendí, ¿como se acumula la dot? ¿que es cd? Para matarlo se le ataca de frente dándole a dos tres sin parar, en cuanto te amenaza con el pisotón le das a uno y te pones debajo de el, ni esperes a que se entierre el gusano le das a 1 y avanzar lo más rápido que puedas, en cuanto te entierras y te pones bajo ël sales y continuas hasta matarlo, yo al final lo deje en 12000 de vida y lo mate a mano, que vale igual.

Comentario de donjo

Keep the acid spit stacks up and make sure you go underground and run away when he ground slams and it is a pretty easy fight.

Comentario de magette

27,36 for tamed worm thing,

Comentario de solos2

Done this quest about 20 times today, finally killed it, here're some tips:

1. The Colossus has 350k HP not 160k listed above.
2. To kill the Colossus there's only 1 way, keep the acid DoT stacked up to 5 stacks as soon as possible, if you interrupted the 5 stacks at any point, your worm will get killed, so just run away, leave pet and restart.
3. You must face the Colossus when you fire the acid DoT, it is a rather narrow cone so if you don't face the Colossus when you fire it, you may miss and the stacks will be interrupted.
4. When the Colossus is about to slam the ground, submerge and run underneath it to go to his back. This is because if you run too far ahead of him, he will reset. The best way is to run to his back then emerge after the slam.
5. As soon as you emerge, the first thing to do is realign yourself to aim at him, and the second thing to do is fire the acid DoT. Do not stay underground for too long or your 5 stacks will be interrupted.
6. Once the acid DoT is on cooldown, keep spamming the second skill.
7. Rince and repeat.

Good luck!

Comentario de digitaldragon

Actually, it's rather easy. Spam your melee and spit attacks continuously, when the colossus starts slamming the ground (a 7 second cast) just tap 1 (burrow) while holding forward so you're underneath or slightly behind the colossus, then tap 1 again to unburrow and start attacking again - you can come up from the ground even if the colossus hasn't finished casting yet, since it only affects his front. If you just keep doing this you'll quickly start dealing more damage to the colossus. I did this on my first try with about 20% HP to spare

Comentario de 56604

If your worm dies, you go back to you real body. You can kite him back to the worm area and get another one.

Comentario de tarbell

If you're on a laggy server don't try this the mount doesn't borrow in time and you will be extremely !@#$ed.

Comentario de blupache

This really rather $%^&ed me off. The controls are sluggish.. you're not meant to be able to move when you're above ground, but sometimes you still show as being above ground when you're actually under, whereas if you tap the button twice you're back above and can't move... and he evade bugs.. and.. it's just clunky.

But..

Solos2 & digitaldragon's instructions worked perfectly.

You *always* want to be in melee range of him, either just infront spamming melee+spit, or as soon as he starts to slam you *TAP* submerge *ONCE* and go the absolute minimum distance past his target circle possible, then start spamming melee+spit again... repeat constantly.. if your 5 stack drops off more than once, you're stuffed... if - like an ex-guildie of mine - you're playing at 1000ms latency from a satellite connection somewhere in outback SE asia, you're stuffed... if you get lag spikes, you're stuffed... other than that.. their advice will work once you get the feel for it.

Comentario de 249630

Used this tactic, worked absolutely perfect. Had 50% of my HP left when the colossus was dead, seemed so much easier after trying this out. Recommended for people that don't feel like wasting much time, for sure.

Comentario de 166987

This quest is phased and will despawn most of the mobs in the area. Abandon it if you don't plan to complete it right away.

Comentario de Abrin

Just tried using solos2's instructions and got it on my 2nd try. One thing to note is that you can't unburrow when moving. Make sure you get just behind him, stop, unburrow and then continue maintaining the acid stacks while attacking. If you move quick enough you can get a few attacks in before he turns around.

Comentario de Gent

I was killed a few times before I realized the trick.
Spam your strike as much as you can, every time the acid spit is on cooldown use it.
The ground slam is what kills you, you have to move to survive this fight. However don't make it more complicated than need be. The collosus only slams the ground in front of him.
Simply a matter of when you see the "emote" go underground and move forward enough to where your under his feet (or slightly more) turn around and repeat. This way you don't have to move as much.

Comentario de 163020

most irritating thing about this quest is the controls having major latency, 1 sec to submerge, appear, etc. can't know what happens if you try to submerge if you move, and the animation does not go exactly with action.

Comentario de 163020

TIP: 1980s PC gaming time: just click 2 and 3 all the time with 2 of your fingers. The cooldown of basic attack does NOT coincide with the cooldown of the 2nd so you can just spam them both.

Comentario de frotty

A few extra tips:

1. Spam 2 + 3.
2. When you see the emote, do one last poison and THEN hit 1 only once.
3. As soon as you burrow, move forward. I found that holding down up made the freakin' worm turn around sometimes.
4. As soon as you pass the small targeting circle (assuming default). Stop, turn around, press 1.
5. Resume spamming 2+3.

@step2... It's good to save a poison for right when the emote happens because of the bad lag sometimes with getting behind and popping up, you need to never have the stack refresh. You will win just barely with the worm when you do.

Comentario de 187112

I'm not sure about how it would work out for other classes, but I was doing this quest on my prot warrior and my worm got killed with about 60k health left on the Colossus, and I just tanked/killed him the rest of the way down with my character. When he did the ground-pound I'd run away and bandage, and then charge back in keep sunders up, TC and DS up. Didn't even need to blow shield wall.

Comentario de peacedude

Just keep poison stacks up and watch out for ground slam and this is very easy.

Comentario de Manestone

I just wanna say make sure you don't pull him too far or he will reset and you'll have to start all over.

Comentario de 248117

What really ticked me off about this quest, was everytime I tried to submerge or emerge, while moving foward, the mount would occasionally do an about face on me and go the wrong way....if i submerged under to go behind him for the ground slam, then my mount would spin around and (with the foward key) go further in front of him.

I hate this quest as I'm still trying to finish it.

Comentario de 250871

Got him one the second try. Just spammed 2+3, and burrowed behind him when he did his slam. My worm died when he had 18k hp, and i just killed him that way. For all frost mages/other classes that can do a good ammount of SLOW: He is immune to snare, but CAN be slowed, i just kep my frostbolt up. got hit once, but he didn't break my Ice Barrier.

So dont give up when your worm dies - fight till the end, like a real HORDE!

Comentario de 10269

Kite him to the worm pickup spot after your first worm dies. Then just keep getting new worms if they keep dying.

I had to use 3 total with this tactic. -_-

Comentario de d2thomas

My tip for hunters.

Before you mount the wurm thing, make sure you change to Aspect of the Wild. The ground stomp is nature damage and as long as it's active prior to mounting, it will also be on the wurm. Of course this is a last resort option as you are attempting to dodge the ground stomps. In the event you can't get away or don't get far enough away this can be your one chance at survival.

GL!

Comentario de rusek

could some 80 confirm that, that q gave him 42g? becouse i did it few minutes ago and i was awarded only 22g. Overall gold from quests seem kinda low to me, like 13g for normal q ;/

Comentario de 253672

got him down to 6% first try. Trick is when he slams the ground in front of him root into the earth then move behind him and continue to attack.

Comentario de 253672

Over all this is a pretty even battle. If you duck underground and go behind him and continue to attack at the right times and everything youll get him down. I was left with 1% HP on my jormungar and i downed him. It's possible but like i said you have to duck underground and evade his ground smash otherwise its a lost cause. Good luck to all!

Comentario de 253833

1.Go to 27,36 (Directly north of the word "Snow" in Snowdrift) on the map

2. Take control of the worm.
(Worm Vehicule has different abillities if you're underground or overground.)
to move around as a worm, you need to be underground.
to go underground or overground hit the key 1

3. go over to the "Iron Colossus" and engage a fight.

4. hit him with both your abilities. 2 is a "heroic strike" type of abillity and 3 is a DoT that stacksup to 5 times. you want to use both of them as much as possible.( Try and not let the DoT fall )

5. Whenever you see an Emote in the middle of your screen, that he starts casting something, you have 5 seconds to get away from his face. At that point, you want to submerge (the 1 key when over ground) and go behind him.

repeat 4-5 as needed and collect your pants !

Comentario de nfw73

This is yet another "control something to fight for you" quest that is much more straightforward if you do not use the pet, in this case a worm. I had a lot of trouble with the sluggish controls, but easily duo'ed it with a ret paladin who was on the same quest.

If you insist on doing it as intended, the acid attack seems to be a front cone with a short range, and the Colossus' hit box is so large you basically need to get right underneath its groin.

Comentario de 254983

Tbh I killed the collosus first try, nothing hard about it. go under the ground when he does groundslam, keep 5 posions stakced and spam 2, peace of a cake

Comentario de 71891

The only thing that makes this quest difficult is indeed the clunky interface. The tactics are very simple and straightforward, the control feedback is NOT. There is no cast bar to show you if you're actually casting submerge/emerge, nor does the button give a GCD feedback. After a good 8 tries I finally got lucky with the acid cooldown/slam timing and took him down. Don't rely on the animation of the worm to know if you're actually submerged, just watch the bar to see when it changes. I use my mouse to move, so I didn't have a problem with accidentally turning around when submerging.

On a side note, the first one I took control of did turn around, and as I was at the edge of the cliff (north side of the sphere) I took a dive off the end a la Tremors. No falling damage, but I had to dismount and fly back up. Somehow a worm that burrows underground can't burrow up the side of a cliff...

Comentario de 174754

Get the Worm outside of where the questgiver is, go west till you see worms. ride one, go south on the map till you see the giant robot ( cant miss it takes up you're whole screen) then keep hitting 3(acid spray stacks up to 5 times, lasts 14 seconds, does more damege per stack on him) when he slams hit 1 ( tunnel) go through him, and pop up behind him, keep you're 5 stacks of acid on and spam #2 the whole time and you will get it. I did it first try with 45% hp to spare

Comentario de 254138

The controls will be sluggish if you are using a mouse to click the controls. DO NOT.

There are only 3 controls to worry about so use your number keys to input the commands.

When you are close enough, start spamming your attacks. Make sure to use an acid attack right before you submerge so when you pop up behind him and use the acid attack again it continues to stack rather then starting all over. When you've put up 3 or so acid attacks on him submerge right before you think you'll see the Slam message to get a head start and avoid as little damage as possible, after doing that once or twice you will be able to call it with ease. Just rinse and repeat.

Once again the key to winning this is to use your number keys not your mouse. Also you do not have to stack the acid up to 5 times. 2-3 times works fine, but the key IS to keep it stacked, he will die much faster.

Comentario de 74836

If you are having trouble completing this, follow the instructions given above, but do not be affraid to go all out melee when you leave the worm, he goes down suprisingly fast to a fury warrior and his attacks are slow so there is a good chance you will outlive him at the final stage

On a side note, when you hit the button to go underground, begin moving forward instantly, you will start moving before the worm has gone underground and also know wether it has worked or not, this will make the difference between avoiding his effect and taking a hit, which indeed will make the difference between fail and profit.

Comentario de Voodoochild

Craptastic controls and horrible implementation.

Comentario de 78320

Killed him on my own feet as a level 79 2/63/5 demo warlock. Flaathun could easily tank his melee and ground slam with the occasional lifeline heal, the only real problem was that due to his enormous size, Flaathun would reposition himself during the ground slam cast. This led to my demise at the first try, since I found myself in front of him after the first ground slam, getting killed by the second one.

Simple solution: movement. Keep close to his target circle (not very big) and pay attention always to be on the other side than Flaathun. Dot him up, heal Flaathun, shatter soul at ~70% then go all out (don't forget to heal) and he will bite the dust.

My gear is mostly tbc stuff, badge gear, 2xt5, void star talisman with the wotlk arena quest staff and everything enchanted (tbc stuff - tbc enchants), so I guess everyone could do it at 80.

Comentario de 105432

The problem of the worm turning around still exists - what I did to avoid it was to not move until a sec or so after I submerged - you don't need to be fighting to get the timing right for this - practice submerge and move - and if you turn the wrong way just keep going - you do not have the time to turn and move again and you will not be able to beat him unless you do not get hit even once, bar nature protection.

If you take that hit just run to leave combat - I was sometimes able to run if my worm died, sometimes not. And spamming 23 at the same time did not work for me - what worked for me was 3 2 2 3 etc and watching for his cast bar so that I knew to duck - in my case no time to cast that last spit.

Managed to get spits stacked to 5 and hold - and that dragged him down fast.

Comentario de Nekrotik

The biggest problem for me was the 1 button. For some reason when I hit it, it spun me around facing the wrong direction (with my back to the giant). By the time I would get turned around and move behind him it was too late, he already slammed. After about 10-11 tries I finally got him down to 4% before my worm died and I finished him off myself.

Comentario de 260497

Did this on 2nd try. And i saw a comment that said if u didnt had acid stacked 5 ur screwed thats a lie. I had the 5th stack in the last bit of the fight. Just spam 2 and 3, and when he does groundslam just press 1 one time. My did a wierd turn all but 1 time, but it wasnt a problem. Just turned around and continued. Downed him with the worm on 25% health left

Comentario de 152011

I let the acid stack slip once and died when the Colossus remained at 19k HP. I finished him off using my standard spells. :]

Comentario de 266375

Easy? My ASS! The camera is awful, I can't tell if I'm in range, I can't tell if I'm being hit by the ground pound, and the rewards are no good for me.

Abandoned it...

Will try again with some guild mates later...

Comentario de fnuffer

That is because going underground provides no immunity to attacks. It only allows you to move. So take the hits, and when he starts to cast slam, submerge and move behind him.

Comentario de Silvorath

80 lev rogue. My worm died when Iron Colossus was on 150 k hp, I casted evasion, then preparation when my first evasion was off, then evasion again. Slayed him easily without being hitted even once. So rogues, don't give up if your worm dies.

Comentario de 256700

you have to use the tamed jormungar located at 26, 36.

Comentario de Xrystal

This was pretty intense for me -

(Holy Pally) I pulled him on the worm about half way in the snow field. My worm died when he was on about 60k health left. I started to run sideways using holy shock, hammer and Consecration to keep aggro and to avoid him resetting, healing myself when he stopped to smash the ground. Eventually I made it back to where to the worms were and got the last bit easily!

Comentario de ShellyBelly

You will receive credit for the kill if you manage to kill him even if your worm is dead.

Comentario de Tantou

Did this today, survived with 10k health, simply evaded his slams.. Simple enough.

Comentario de 156249

I tried the instructions and my worm either spins on me or I am stuck underground too long. 5 deaths later and I gave up. What a disappointment.

Comentario de 273376

I got really lucky. I died twice, and on the third time, he killed my worm before I could take him out...but his health was so low that I was able to finish him off with my spells before he could smash me (and got credit). I did the suggestions that everyone else here recommended as far as stacking the poisons and spamming the melee attack. When I got the raid warning about him smashing the ground, I burrowed and went between his legs and popped out on the other side.

Another Alliance character was just starting the quest. It wouldn't let me take control of another worm now that I had finished it, but I stood next to it and riddled it full of DoTs after he tagged it. So maybe that's the key? Get a friend or two to help you? If you look at the tooltip for the worm's melee attack, it says it causes a lot of threat. Why would it unless you're supposed to do it with other people?

Granted, cause of the phasing they'd have to be on the same stage of the quest chain, but you get credit for finishing the quest even when not controlling the worm.

Fantastic and creative quest IDEA, Blizz...but really poorly implemented. At the VERY least, fix the camera on some of these vehicle quests so you can see more than just your vehicle's back taking up the whole screen.

Comentario de 11466

accidently just completed this quest without using the tamed jormungar.

Pretty trivial as a tank with more than 1k block value since he hits like a wimp, it just took about 10 minutes of running through him to avoid ground slam.

Read the quest half-way through killing him to realize my mistake but at that point it didn't matter. I still got credit when he died, anyway.

Comentario de xiron

There's a cooldown on the skills, but no GLOBAL cooldown on the skills, you can hit both damaging skills at the same time.

Comentario de tarkin12

Make sure to only hit tunnel and submerge once. Spamming that button can really mess up how the worm moves. Just spam 2+3 until you see him start to cast, hit 1 once, move foward (behind him), worm shouldn't ever drop below 50%

Comentario de netza

This quest is not worth it.

Comentario de Spectrezh

This really rather $%^&ed me off. The controls are sluggish...

Ya you are right. the controls are abit sluggish. I was spamming 1 for the worm to come up and it took a few seconds for it to do so and same thing for going underground. I know it takes abit for the worm to come up but what I mean is that I am spamming 1 for it to come up and seems that the whole thing isnt responsive. the action bar is still the single spell for the worm to come up and the worm is still underground. 5 secs later it starts to come up. I'm not sure if this happens to everyone and I was sure not lagging so I don't know what the issue is there.

Comentario de 121790

Do NOT wait for the Burrow animation to finish before moving. Just tap your Burrow ability once and start moving forward under him while the animation plays out. Once I figured this out, the fight was cake.

1. Spam 2+3
2. When Ground Slam warning comes, tap 1 and move forward immediately, running under him. Do not wait for the worm to go underground to start moving forward.
3. Repeat.

Comentario de 242097

The most idiotic quest in WotLK because of its sucking UI.

Comentario de 263561

did it with 118 hp worm lol

BTW idc if u rate this down just wan5ted people to know

Comentario de 253278

This worked for me:

1. Stack poison and do meleeattacks whenever he is not charging a slam.

2. When he is charging the slam (You'll notice an emote stating this) burrow instantly and move to left or right (i moved just outside his foot)

3. Emerge after his slam, he'll come right at you again, so you won't have to worry about moving into range, keep doing poison and meleeattacks

4. Repeat 1-3

Comentario de 281732

So damn long chain and no reward for melee-leather.

Comentario de 273117

I tought this was easy, my worm survived with 21k hp left. what i did was:

1. Took worm
2. Found giant
3. kept that acid thingy up while spamming melee
4. kept acid on 5 stacks renewed when it needed to be
5. finished off and 22g and new legs for me :P

Comentario de 140351

This quest is more difficult then you might think. He has a ton of health and while the strategies mentioned previously in green posts are good, the controls are quirky and executing the moves can be tricky. I found there was a substantial delay when trying to go underground.

Anyway, an alternative strategy is to wait and watch someone else get him to half health or less (the usual amount on the first try), then when they die, he will be taggable and does not instantly go back to full health. I watched a hunter get him to 80k health, his worm died, he fought him down to 55k, then died, and I was able to finish him off for the easy finish.

Comentario de Ilin

If you're a competent tank, or even DPSer, It is easier and faster to just kill him with out the worm.

On my Frost DK in reg instance and quest blues he hits for around 700 and the stomp hits for around 4k-ish. I was doing at least quadruple the damage my worm was doing to him. On my feral druid it was the same story. It may have been bugged, I don't really know. I dropped him like a rock and only went down to 60% Health. No IBF, Lichborn, or Death strike.

Guess the old "Beat it with a sword till it stops moving" is more effective against his "Super armor" than using your leet worms leet acid.

The worm is extremely sluggish, especially the the Burrow/pup up ability. The acid spit has a very very narrow range of fire and if you miss once that's it for your worm. Get your Worm, find the giant, do what you can. If your worm dies just finish him off yourself. Not Nearly as hard to kill as one would think.

Also, Is this the biggest NPC in the game?

Comentario de wolfmusic

Really weird to go over the cliff with that thing!

Comentario de 287078

It killed my worm when it had 2k hp left, I fell out and finished it with a Hammer of Wrath^^
It bugged a little in the beginning and reseted a few times, but teh epic feeling I had after finishing off a gigant teh size of Orgrimmar with my hammer made up for the trouble.

Comentario de 84183

Thanks to incredibly sluggish controls despite no latency or lag whatsoever, I finally got this on my fourth try. I kept spamming the melee attack while the acid spit was on cooldown, then tapped 1 as soon as I saw the slam warning. Got immediately behind the melee circle then tapped 1 again and started my acid+melee spam again.

Won the fight with 3k health left so it was a close one.

Comentario de 57823

This is not a good fight if you suffer from high latency. I abandoned it. Not worth the time and effort to complete.

Comentario de clavarnway

If you don't want to deal with the worms buggy controls, just solo it if you can. Solo'd as a Prot Warrior. Pretty darn easy, just stand up real close to him, almost inside him. When he does the Ground Slam just run through him. Just like Anub'arak's Pound ability in Azjol'nerub.

Comentario de kalvin

Pretty easy to do as everyone said, spam 2+3 , use 1 when he's about to do ground slam and thats it, your worm will die eventually so after that u just finish him off. Don't give up after your worm dies.
He's fairly soloable. Im elemental.

Btw anyone knows if there's any more quests after this?

Comentario de 249738

This quest is bugged *terribly*.

He resets randomly even if you've not moved far at all, and the area of his ground slam is entirely inconsistent. Sometimes you start moving ASAP and it still hits you, and other times you move a few inches and you're safe.

I seriously found it easier to find another player and just fight him myself (prot paladin). He doesn't hit all that hard, and FFS I can heal myself, unlike the dumb worm. Still got credit for the kill, and if I had known it was possible at all, I would have saved myself enough dead worms.

tl;dr: get a real group and do your own dirty work. Leave the Jormungar wrangling to the Earthen.

Comentario de Synrithh

Took my 2 try's to do it, just used the tactic posted above.

Use 2 and 3 and when he starts to ground slam, 1 and go away then repeat!

Comentario de Darkmeat

This guy was a piece of cake! my worm died because it was bugged and sluggish so i just tanked him myself on my 80 DK and i killed him without the worm.

Comentario de Ferdinado

As a prot pala with 26k unbuffed and crit immune i soloed this guy from 100% and he hitted for about 329 every hit.
But this dippends on what ur curently using. Cloth user would take more dmg from his melee attacks

Comentario de 78589

This guy hits like a girl but my worm kept glitching and I couldn't burrow or Resurface. So my worm died half way through the fight I said to hell with this... I am a 79 Frost Spec Tank with 540 def this guy never hit me for more then 1k usually between 700-1000 i just wailed on him and id get behind him turn around he'd blast the ground and id put up dots and spam death strike... another good method would be the kiting method Chains of ice >> icy touch>> icy touch >> blood boil >> death coil. not sure if he is immune to chains of ice though.. also ud have to take some dmg cuz you can only kite him so far. But if your a dk and your worm sucks might just be easier to get out half to 1/3 of his hp left and just dps him.

Comentario de 168407

Be careful when submerging and running away as I found he can easily reset. I was submerging and running away from him whenever he did the ground slam, and I got too close to a mountain and he reset halfway through the fight. So try to keep him out in the open. Running behind him was a much better strategy.

Comentario de Califree

I must have been lagging, although it didn't show on my meter (32ms latency). The Colossus did 10x damage to me that I did to him, no matter what. The controls were nearly unresponsive; backward or forward, there was no getting away from that ground slam, since the Colossus moved twice as fast as that damned worm!

Abandoned after 8th try; more stress than it's worth. I'll grab a guildmate later and do it the usual way.

Comentario de 295349

my worm got killed but the acid killed him xD

Comentario de karaelrond

Completely soloed it as a lv79 retri pala (WITH NO JORMUNGAR) with holy gear equipped (mostly lv70 epics). Tip to other retri palas: If you have a complete set of holy gear, just with retribution aura, blessing of might and seal of vengeance/corruption you can easily solo anything that hits you for less than 1500 or maybe 1800. Judgement keeps your mana topped up and shield of righteousness does some nice cheaply-mana-cost damage (580 normal for me). It took me 20 minutes though but it's fun it was quite the challenge without a worm.

where can i find the worm?

Comentario de 287932

Seems like an obvious reference to the move The Iron Giant.

Comentario de 297344

ive tried all teh stuff its givin instructions to do everytime i go underground to avoid the slam he turns around n nails me WTF am i supposed to do? u say go underground n go behind him to avoid being hit n he turns around n gets u anyway how do I avoid it?

Comentario de 162743

I didn't know u need a worm to killed him so as a human warrior prot, epic gear i just solo him . took me like 10 min but very easy fight u just need to run under him when he prepare to slam the biggest hit i get was his swing around 800-1100, i use 3 times Enraged Regeneration ability to heal my self

Comentario de 161527

Not only is it phased so that most of the mobs are despawned, it ALSO keeps you from partying up to do it together. I was in party with a healer and thought I would be slick and just tank him (Level 80 Feral Druid - Tank spec & gear) and have a healer just heal me through the last little bit of the Iron Colussus' health.

WRONG.

Nobody in my party could see me, and I couldn't see them, even if they were on the same quest.

Talk about retarded.

Comentario de 111827

Do NOT, I repeat do NOT do this fight at peak hours.
The latency will kill you.

I attempted this at high pop hours and failed every time. Try early in the morning or night, depending on where you live and the server population.

Nice tips Solos2....took twice to practice, but worked like a champ.

Comentario de 133768

Finishe it off without a worm :p was doin like the above guys said, was goin well untill he killed off the worm in the end, had a very small amount of hp, (almost none actually), just ran up to him and used obliterate twice and one rune-strike, worked pretty fine. So if your worm dies off in the very end - dont think twice on attacking without it

Comentario de Drudatz

retardest quest ever...
very bad worm control...

Comentario de 292327

It took me a couple of attempts but I finally beat him. The acid spit will stack up to 5 times and really does good damage if you can get 5 up. The trick is when he does the ground slam, go underground and move to his back and then put up another acid spit. You have to be quick and do this before the DoT goes away. Spam the strike attack inbetween the acid spit. Also, watch to make sure you are facing the target when you come up from underground. It can be a little hard to tell and you can lose some valuable seconds. I got him down to around 10-15%. My worm died but I was able to finish him off myself.

Comentario de Rockettman

Only one remark, when you press 1 to go underground don't wait until the worm is actually underground. Just press one and you can allready move. This gives some extra time to evade the ground slam attack.

Comentario de 161867

When he does his ground slam, just burrow and go right behind him, its not far. Even if he hits you once you can still beat him with some skill.

Comentario de whatyouare

HORRIBLE QUEST...yet again.

The worm controls suck. I'd hit the burrow command and immediately press forward, yet when the worm goes under and you're pressing forward, he actually starts to move the opposite direction once underground.

Then, once you want to emerge again, a simple click of the emerge button won't do the trick. You'd think it would, but don't kid yourself. I'd click it... nothing.. click it again, ok it emerges.. and once it emerges, your attack skills are not immediately available to you, it takes a couple seconds for them to appear, while in the meantime you're taking hits.

This quest is simply bad design, as are many of these types of quests in wotlk. They're trying to implement new quests in this expansion, but many of them are just fail.

Comentario de 299156

donno why blizzard had maked the worm to auto turn-around and bug at submerge and emerge, really bad and boring Q! u need to click at submerge 100 times and when u submerge it turns-around!

Comentario de yarko

Just did the quest. Killed him first time with little problem. Did NOT get a quest completion. Why? I have no idea. Had to drop and redo it.

What a clunky quest. The worm pops back up when you are still supposed to be underground, the mob breaks aggro way too easily for such a big mob, it isn't clear you actually pressed the action buttons, etc. Does anyone at Blizzard actually test this stuff? Just take a little more time to make sure that this stuff is implemented cleanly. Please.

Other than that, fun quest.

Comentario de 18651

found out the dirty way:
someone else was doin this and not makin it.
the moment his worm died, i started while the colossus was at 50%
needless to say it was a bit easier :)

Comentario de 303753

After failing multiple times, i went after him in the worm vehicle, got him about halfway down before my worm died, then i just solo'd him the rest of the since he hits like a baby kitten. i ran between his legs when he was about to slam the ground and he never hit me with one of those. i am an 80 prot warrior in heroic and naxx gear. i killed him with about 40% of my health left.

Comentario de 298647

managed to get him in my second attempt and it was definitely easier using your simple advise...was a bit nervous when I got to 7k hp but the acid was stacked and did the job

Comentario de 126025

As Bm hunters : Easiest way was to just ditch the whole worm thing and kill him normal, just dont forget pull back your pet to avoid his slam.

Comentario de 114717

I found it useful to not mouse-look; just use the keyboard to spin around after moving behind him.

Comentario de 305814

I died like, really fast, only got him to about 50%

But i managed to take him down as an unholy dk tank in my ^&*!ty offspec gear. So yeah, you don't need a snake.

Comentario de 34002

Few pointers.

1. Dont mindlessy spam your acid dot.Let it tick for while and keep it refreshed rather in the end side of timer.That way I had full 5 stacks running almost whole fight.When you spam it on every cooldown you wont get full stacks running.

2.This may be personal preference, but I had bad results when I tried to go on his backside during his ground stomp.That way giant always got few extra hits on me. I got better result when I just stayed at his front side.When giant casted his stomp I turned around and went a bit backwards, popped back on surface and started pounding him again.You have plenty of time to do that and you wont get extra hits from giant that way.Dont go too far or else he resets. You get familiar with the right range fast. It is not very huge.

3.You cant turn and start moving during the animation when your worm dives to the ground.

These were key factors for me in this fight.

Comentario de Ballongballe

Hmm . weird thing ^^ I was in a party and did this just 1 minute ago x) so it works, might just have bugged for you :P

Comentario de Eleftheria

If you feel compelled you can drive the worm off the side of the cliff to see it's underground form, it looks flat and terribly deformed, I refused to hit the water as I was afraid of what bugs I might find =/

Note this can only be done before or directly after you kill the Colossus as you won't be able to get a new worm once you kill it and leave the vehicle.

Comentario de Aillen

I just completed this quest at 80 and only got 22g 20s. I didnt get the extra 19g 86s at level 80 as it says.

Comentario de Neferium

my pet died so I had to take off 50k hp off him myself. Same tatics about the stomp still apply if your in a situation as mine.

Comentario de 133027

Solo'd in a full set of tank gear. His very slow melee hits were less than 1k damage and the slam was 13k nature damage, a little more than half of an average heroic level tank's health. The fight took 3mins 26secs.

If your having trouble with the worms, I'd say either be a tank that can heal yourself a bit or bring a healer and your fine. I personalyl didn't even try using the worms though, maybe that way is easier... who knows. ^_^

Comentario de 303379

everytime i try it goes like this

he turns towards me when casting
the casting delays alot, giving me maybe 4 seconds to submerge and move ( laggy darkspear )
ill end up taking 5 hits before my guy reemerges.

screw this quest

Comentario de 83915

Generally I applaud the implementation of vehicle's in World of Warcraft. This quest demonstrates everything that's wrong with the vehicle system. Sluggish controls, specific positioning, and no matter what some other nerd has suggested; the controls ARE sluggish with keyboard usage.

It's the absence of any kind of cast bar and the apparent delay when submerging that probably gets most; but I found that while you're in the mode to spam 2 and 3 you find yourself spamming 1 to dig, which will likely drop you under and pop you right back up again. Once submerge is cast it should have an increased cooldown a second or two to prevent it being re-cast. That would help immensely in design imho.

Comentario de 71059

I just completed this quest and it was quite funny, my worm died pretty quick because I didnt know his slam ability did so much damage, about 15k to be exact and the controls on the worm kinda were buggy. I got him down to 35% and I lost my worm, but I just went bear and tanked him to the end. It was really buggy because he was so big, but really good fun to tank it. Just make sure you avoid his slam or you'll probably be dead in one or two hits. Look for the 'The Iron Collosus prepares to slam the ground in front of him' raid warning message. You don't have to move too far out of range to avoid it. His melee attack just tickles in bear form (for about 700). Be fun to tank it from 100% I bet. (I was level 80 with 425 def and 32k armor for reference)

Comentario de 93437

Okay, this helped me out:

As soon as you press 1) (Submerge), you are able to move, do not wait for the animation just move forward and only press it once or you'll end up becoming stationary and squished. Hoped this helps.

Comentario de Missrihanna

with patch 3.0.8 the controls are still bad so impossible for me to compleet. Even when when i go under the floor and try to go behind him he still keeps hitting me and turning around too.

Comentario de 225126

Strange, I dont know how anyone kites this guy. I throw on aspect of cheetah and he still catches me. I dont know if there is something wrong or what, but the lag while using the worm is awful. I hit the two button, and wait 2 seconds before it attacks. The boss is killing the worm faster then the worm is killing him even before he does his ground stomp. The vehicle stuff is getting really really irritating.

Comentario de 312132

After having died 5 times in this ever neferd game - trying to kill - following the above - i doomed the Q as WoT = Waste of Time.

you have to consider the time u spend - the money u pay to play - the amusement u get
the eventual rewards.

paying 11g in repair when u could have farmed leather and get money same time - doesnt add in favor of doing the q - neither does the phase system.

Quest dumped.

Comentario de kemikalkadet

You can start moving almost as soon as you hit submerge, no need to wait for the animation. This should give you an extra second or two to get in position.

Comentario de 313348

I was having problems with the sluggish controls too and had my worm killed. I was not happy, so took a few swings myself at the colossus before taking off to get the next worm to try again. Imagine my surprise, after reading the comments here, the big lug follows me all the way back to the worm handler, letting me mount a new worm and proceed killing him! I'm a level 80 palladin and you probably do need to be able to heal yourself to get away with this trick.

Comentario de Empia

I solod this without the worm thing as a retripala. Pretty easy.

Comentario de 314490

after trying to solo this about 7 times, i actually had to group with someone to complete this... the latency and general lag of the worms blows, especially if you aren't a tank and have to dismount, you probably have little chance of surviving. i (hunter) used aspect of the wild and grouped with a paladin... problem solved, he went down easy.

Comentario de witherwax

Wrong, it does 14.5k damage. Avoid it.

Comentario de BMHunter

Its another quests thats bugged to hell, its impossible to do because even if you go under the ground the dam thing can still slam/stomp on you while you are under the ground, its impossible to avoid.

Comentario de 111685

One quick thing... you don't need to be on the worm for the quest to complete.

I just did it on my druid, when I finally completed it I missed one of the ground slams because the worm was facing the opposite direction when it submerged (until then I had a small lead on him on health %). When my worm died he was very low on health so I went bear form and started attacking him. He took about 40% of my HP before the next ground slam, I ran behind him, healed myself, back to bear and he died before the next ground slam.

Probably wouldn't have needed to heal if I was wearing tanking gear, though (I was wearing DPS gear), he didn't seem to hit that bad, I'd bet any tanking capable class can finish him off like that as well with some tanking gear and a pot (if you can't heal yourself).

Comentario de 307723

Piece of cake. Go to the northern edge of Snowdrift Plains get your worm. Go to the iron giant attack him and spamm 2 and 3 when the raid warning thingy comes press 1 get behind him wait for him to complete his attack and press 1 to submerge and spamm 2 and 3 again.

Comentario de 238831

That was a good idea, the running to the side, i did this killed him with my worm at 2-3k hp thx alot everybody =)

Comentario de animadafemme

i tried this, it didnt work.. the boss kept resetting.. he wouldnt go all the way over to where the worms are.

Comentario de animadafemme

not so true... there was a guy, not in my party that also was on the quest, we grouped up and kicked his butt :)

Comentario de 236052

When doing this quest, I severely messed up using my worm; it ended up dying about 50k into the Iron Colossus' health. I found, however, that the giant was fairly easy to solo without the worm. I don't intend to self-aggrandize, merely stating that any hybrid DPS class capable of self-heals should be able to tank the Colossus' rather pitiful damage and take him down solo, if they run into trouble.

Comentario de Googla

I have killed this colussus giant 3 times now and havent got the quest completed....

Comentario de sunsmoon

You can begin moving before the submerge animation is complete. After hitting submerge, start moving between his legs to his rear.

Comentario de ntuysliu

Tips, pull him to the north. After your first worm dies, quickly grab another worm. it works for me, lol..

Comentario de 190065

I died the first time I tried this, but got it the second time. The important thing for me was not to rely on the animation for feedback on when you're underground. When he starts to ground slam, hit 1, then hit forward. Don't wait for the animation to show you underground - it's about a second delayed.

Comentario de 24604

You want to lose as little time as possible to moving around, that way you have more time to attack and less chance of losing the 5 poison stacks. Start in front of him, very close to his selection circle (the circle on the ground when you target him). If you do your attacks fast enough you can squeeze in 3 melee attacks between every poison attack. As soon as he starts casting slam, submerge and move forward to his back. If you were close to his center you only have to move a few yards and you can emerge and reapply the poison, 3x melee attack etc. Like someone else said, after you emerge make sure to aim your worm at him before you use poison.

Remember also that emerge/submerge are 1 sec casts, that's why it appears sluggish but 1 tap on the button (without moving) really is enough.

Comentario de 283591

This quest is so bugged it's $%^&ing ridiculous.

A 3 second gap between submerging, leading you to press submerge again... which means you automatically comeup when it does finally fire. Most of the time you're left with "submerged" controls after coming up leading to you being unable to do anything.

If it wasn't part of a major quest chain I'd advise skipping it.

Comentario de Tanis013

Just finished this on my fourth attempt using your instructions with only 1k health left on the worm. Thanks!

Comentario de 177043

WOW that was a epic fight! he was almost dead (3,000 Health) and i died while in control...but i finished him off with a cone of cold lol. took 3 tries.

Comentario de 290071

Well I did this qst in 2 parts on my lvl 80 Heroic geared unholy DK and it was quite funny.
1. First, I got the worm, and engaged the collosus. kept submerging at the right time, but did not know I has still going to get hurt while underground. So I ended up with the worm dead while the boss was still at 65% health...
2. Then I just decided to fight him myself. My ghoul was out so that helped. Changed my rotation to include a few death strikes to keep getting back some health. When he casted his slam, i just ran behind him and there was no damage. Got him within 1 minute.. qst complete.
.
In retrospection, this is not recommended for any squishy class or/and if u don't have at least some self heal ability( i tried it later on my lock and failed, his melee was hitting too hard). A pala probably does not even need to get the worm and do it just as easily. I did not use my army, but that might have been a good move because I had better control over which side he was facing when he started to slam. BTW, I did not even summon my gargoyle... just completely forgot about it :)

Comentario de 248482

I should start reading quests, solo'd him as a level 80 fury warrior in full 25man prot gear. He rarerly managed to hit me and I just had to run away from ground slam. It took its time though and I don't recommend it. Oh and he is the biggest thing I have ever had hitting me, he's huge.

Comentario de 290733

Its impossible to have your DoT acid stack 5 times on him.. u have time to two acid and two mele until u must hide underground and move behind him - when u emerge debuff u made on him has just ended....
I was able to kill him only because im Pala and could heal during the rest of fight - jormungar gets him only half way down.

Comentario de 327847

Piece of Cake with holy pally,

Sacred shield absorb lots hits or reduce to 500-800damage.

I used seal of light with combo: judg, holyshock, shield of righ, consacration keeping this rotation.

Heal each infusion of light.

Comentario de 27993

After the 3rd time I tried to submerge and come back under/behind him, and not being fast enough to turn and face him to cast the acid I just gave up, let the worm die...and pet tanked him (80 Hunter, 2 piece T7, 1 piece T7.5, mostly other 25man/10man gear).

The pet I had at the time was a Crab I was leveling, he was only 78.

So he can be taken down if you have the gear and the worm dies. Do all you can though with the worm, not sure I could have DPSed down 350k, lol. In all honesty if you just keep the pet on him, call the pet back when he does the ground slam, FD when you can and heal the pet often you *might* be able to. Wouldn't suggest it though!

Edit: Just noticed I didn't have any Aspect on, forgot that I had used cheetah to go pick up the worm again ;-(.

delete the quest, not worth the time. it cost me more in repairs than the quest paid

80level hunter - did not need the pants, just tried the quest - you can not kite him with a regular speed toon. his one step will allow him to catch you.

do not submerge and attempt to go under him or behind him, he will take half you life away in one hit.

the worms damage is not sufficient to take hime down fast, and the stack is too slow to damage him. if he hits you twice, game over, thanks for playing.

you can buy way better gear in AH

Comentario de 282235

This worked. To explain it other wise. When the Colossus is slamming. Press 1, and move instantly, so don't wait when you are underground.. Just a small bit behind the Colossus, go above and attack him. Etc...

In this way i did easy more damage. The times before i failed i was to slow because i was waiting when i was under ground.

Comentario de 345948

"Seems like they fit" on the "Iron Colossus Legplates" is probably a reference to how armour in WoW ( as well as a lot of RPGs) fits any size character seing as the colossus is MUCH larger than you.

Comentario de 105402

I tried this quest for about 6 times, and i finally abandoned it becaused the controls are - weird - at least. The pet always faces 180° away from the target when you submerge which ruins any attempt to run through the colossus' legs. Also emerging again has some terrible delay.

Comentario de 129236

Tip for well geared tank classes, you can solo him pretty easily by ditching the lame worm and then just tank and spank, but remember to run between his legs when he does his ground pound.

I did it as 80 unholy DK in frost pressence whitout breaking a sweat, wearing quest blues and 3 crafted epics.

Fun fact, his corpse can be used for corpse explosion

Comentario de Eiskalt

The controls felt really clunky to me. Didn't submerge right away, couldn't move quickly, trouble getting back up to fight..

My worm ended up dying, but as a shadow priest I healed myself a few times and dotted him while he was low and killed it. Easy way to finish it if the worm just isn't quite right for you.

Comentario de 151053

If your Tamed Jormungar happens to die just as he's getting low, don't be afraid to face him head on instead of starting again, just avoid the foot stomp. I was able to face him with 60k left and had no issues.

Comentario de 345271

Hes not big. He is EXTREMELY big. Run behind him when he make hes "slam". He killed me with it because i was busy fighting and forgot to move. I hate that quest...

Comentario de 173516

well of all of the 'heres a vehicle, use it to kill a monster elite' quests in wotlk that i've done so far (and i've done quite a few) this is by far the most challenging. even the drakuru quest chain in ZD wasn't this hard. there's a delay on all the abilities by this jorumgar so take that into account when fighing the collosus.

Comentario de JamieK

Tried it 50 times, failed each time...quest dropped, not worth it.

If the quest gave you 100g bonus for doing it, it would be worth it, but 30g or so is NOT worth the hassle.

nice try blizz, but learn to do better quests.

Comentario de Elessa

Believe it or not, i actually did this without riding the jormoungar or whatever. As a ret paladin, this was pretty easy. Used Seal of Vengence and healed until my mana was low, switched to seal of the wise until mana was full, repeat. And just run behind him when he "smashes the ground infront of him".

it is possible to solo this giant without getting the worm.....i have a lvl 80 warlock well geared i had my felguard out and just let my felguard tank iron colossus and healed my felguard.....its probably a longer fight without the worm but it is possible... just stay underneath him when he does his body slam

Comentario de Valdan

Be advised as of today 5/11/2009 not sure how long this has been in affect but worth mentioning. If a player ahs completed this quest and you ask them to help you, they will not see the Giant to attack and they will not see you as well (so no heals either). In other words your all by yourself even in a party with people who completed the same quest your on.

You've been warned.

Comentario de 364483

Pretty easy as a ret pally, used the worm, but messed up and it died when the colossus was at 160k hp. Just put on seal of light and beat him down :-P Note: Did at 80 with ulduar gear, so I don;t know if lower levels will have trouble, but it was pretty easy nonetheless.

Comentario de 315568

Got fed up with standard Quest method of combating him and defeated him normal combat. Just kept pumping the damage. Started with night of the dead, each time pet was near death healed myself with Death Pact, then created new pet. 80 DK, unholy spec. Used one Runic heal. When cooldown up Raise Dead again and use pet to heal before it dies. Each time he tried to slam ran out of area. Gear not that great, AH bought and BS made stuff. Not bragging just saying it can be done, probably more easily than I did, since I don't really have that good of stuff. For anyone who gets frustrated with standard Quest method of killing him.

Comentario de 331468

As the skills do not have a Global Cooldown mash the spit and strike keys at the same time for the entire battle, when the warning that he is going to strike the ground in front of him press one to go underground but do not wait for the animation of the worm burrowing, you are already underground and can move behind him while the animation is catching up, remember you dont have any immunity being underground, just if you are behind him.

Comentario de 366287

After reading everything here and dying multiple times, I just recommend doing it with 2 people. It's definitely easy with 2; neither of us even got to half health on the worm. Just grab a friend or yell for someone in the area to help and save yourself a repair bill and a frustrating time.

Comentario de 378802

Submerging and going behind the Iron Colossus when he does his ground smash DOES NOT WORK, he turns to where you are and hits you anyway. What you have to do is submerge and back up, there's enough time to move out of range of his attack and instantly start on him again. Once I found that out, was easy, finished with 30% health left.

Comentario de 334623

Just did this quest. Rather easy actually. He does not turn when you go under him if he's in the middle of casting that great big ground stomp. Maybe folks are going too far past him after going under.

You can build up to 5 acid burns on him (number 3 ability) while hitting him with damage ability (number 2). As soon as he starts casting, submerge and go under him. You'll take about 950 damage from the stomp. Turn and come up and start again, watching for the moment he starts that cast.

Again, easy fight.

When I was fighting with the Worm I got the Iron Colossus down to 40K hp before he killed me once out I just started to hit him with my toon and killed him each one of his hits does about 700-1000 On a plate dps.

Comentario de Warluckey1

u can actually get hit by slam 1 time and still succed

Comentario de 190710

Lol, it is possible to run ur wormy off the cliff ^_^ vehicles take no fall damage, its a waste of time, but kinda fun!

Comentario de monopoman

Yeah I think the best method for level 80s with decent gear is use the worm bring him down some health then just go toe to toe with him after the worm dies.

Comentario de 389245

when he slammed i would go under his foot instead of directly behind him. He didn't turn around on me doing that. i had 32% health left.

Comentario de Ovplain

Just keep the acid on him, pop the number 2 ability if you can and run under him to avoid smash and you'll be fine.

Comentario de 351613

I would suggest stripping your equipment off of yourself before you start. I died several times and it was easier to use the Spirit Healer rather than run back to your body, which still has an 80 elite stomping around it. It ended up costing me 40 gold to repair everything. >_>

Also, I had no success in dodging his Slam attack using the 'get behind' him tactic. Most of my deaths were caused by that. Instead, when the warning came up I picked one of his feet and moved to the side of it.

Comentario de 388122

I just stacked my acid breath and did my other melee attack until he ground slammed. Went underground, behind him, repeat.

I actually killed his last 4K of health with a Shadow Bolt crit. :D

Comentario de 85342

I found that rather than submerging and trying to run underneath him its better to strafe from side to side. Often the colossus would miss entirely and then you can pop right back up and begin again. controls are still way to sluggish imo

Comentario de 302959

Yea, I was finishing up my Northrend quests for gold and fame and this guy was much easier to do as myself (80 Enhance shammy in 25man naxx/10man Ulduar gear), than as the worm.

Comentario de Fwaky

I just tanked and spanked the sucker. can't see a use for the submerge function I had a good 40% hp left :]

Comentario de Thorandal

I just did this quest tonight, I was about to give up but just changed my strategy a bit.

I got the worm and just went up to the crest of the snowdrift plains and let the Iron Colossus come to me.
I started with '3' and then hit '2' a couple of times waiting for the cd on 3, then hit 3 again.
I repeated that till i had 5 stacks of the DoT on him, not once did i go back underground, I died like 5 times before trying to dodge him going back underground, so just ignore 1.
It seemed that if i timed it right, I was able to interrupt the ground slam with both 2 & 3.

So the pattern was just 3, 2, 2, 3, rinse, repeat... he was down in like 3 minutes.
One other thing, not sure if it matters, but I made sure to pivot my view so i could see his head... might have made a difference, might not.

hope this was helpful.

oh, did it with my 80 Lock, so not really an option for soloing him...

Comentario de 251522

Lmao, I actually just did the work thing, and messed up a little bit. Then he was at 20K health when the worm died. So I bear formed, barkskin, and beserk = win. :)

Comentario de ligerman30

Ilin is right!
exept that what I did is I used the "leet acid skills" got his health down to around 275k health and my worm died. during the fight, my army of dead was on cooldown (im blood frost so my army of dead had a 20 min cooldown (at the time a 14 min left, just used it before in a quest to kill chillmaw now back on topic) when he started to cast the shockwave skill i used chains of ice and ran ... 7 seconds later ran back his aoe MISSED and spammed death strike and pestilence (pestilence for disease refreshing purposes when you have the glyph)
Im really low dps but I have great mitigation and defense so melle attacks are practically nothing. So when i got him down to around 50-25k health my army of dead refreshed and after that my minion's did all the work. At the end of the fight i had 23.5k out of 25k (no I was not fully geared at the time I had 4 epics and alot of superiors) health left (due to mitigation) and a ready death strike willing to heal 3k. My reccomendations to similar dks is screw the worm. Attacking it head on will be much easier.
note: i don't reccomend that strategy (not the exact stategy) for any other class except for mabey a non-healer paladin or a prot warrior, druid, Demo warlock (mabey if you are stupid enough to spam fear and lucky enough not to aggro or if you spec with siphon life and use health funnel on you void while keepping up a steady corruption stream and have tons of +damage and +healing), BM hunter mabey, or a fully geared frost mage with gear from raids or arena (if you are lucky when it comes to keeping it away from you), and a fire mage or sublety rogue that can crit 315k (although I doubt that would be able to happen it would b funny to watch though). other than that DO NOT TRY! Although I find it hard to find a clothie that thinks he can solo a mob with 315k health without critting 315k so i trust you... sort of :)

Comentario de 101769

ROFL....not sure what's more funny: me not knowing to use worms for this fight, or me actually soloing him without anything but popping all cd's. Enhance Shaman (80) once again prevails. Dropped my totems including heroism, wolves out, gift of naaru and shamanistic rage half way through. Only got hairy once when i didnt move for first stomp and dropped to about 5% health. Once I understood to move on that move, maelstorm instant heals were enough to outlast him. Found him patting in snowdrift plains. Absolutely huge npc, cant miss him. Good luck, I imagine theres only a couple classes that can solo him outside of the worms.

Comentario de 372776

I was getting extremely frustrated by the sluggish controls. It made it nearly impossible.

So, as a 79 unholy/frost DPS in frost pres. with quest blue tank gear, I just went in there and killed it solo.

Although you can hit him from pretty far away, even with close-range melee, focus on the red target circle, and stay as close to it as possible, spamming Death Strike whenever possible. When he starts casting his big smash, just run through the red target circle (which is much smaller than the actual monster) and stand on the other side. He won't turn around till he's done casting, and with okay armor, you should be able to outheal what he damages, if you don't get smashed.

It took be about 5 minutes, but it was much, much less frustrating.

Comentario de 322636

You were submerging too soon. You have to wait until the ground slam starts and then he won't turn. The biggest problem with the whole quest are the controls for the submerge/re-emerge (they lag). After about 4 tries of getting slammed I was just a little more patient with moving forward until the worm submerged. If I tried to move before the submerge the worm would go in a random direction instead of straight ahead

Comentario de jinxoda

I tried the submerge and 'run behind' approach twice and each time he'd hit me for 14k after I submerged and burrowed under him. When I emerged on the other side, the acid debuff was gone as well. I was successful spamming the attack and acid spit until the warning followed by submerge and a 2-3 second run back toward the control orb (literally counting one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand). With this approach I moved just far enough to avoid his ground slam, the debuff continued to build and I took him down.

Comentario de RedHazeKiwi

Kinda borked the atempt while on the Jormungar and thought I was done for but when I got dismounted the colossus hit me for just around ~2k, placed my totems, called my trusty wolves and went into a bloodlust - needless to say he fell quite easily. I was a level 80 enhancement shaman with mostly heroic equip.

So it's probably easier to just use the orb for one part of the quest objectives then rush the mob down.

Good luck!

Comentario de 47860

After a couple of attempts at using the worm I gave up and just solo'd him.
79 DK using blood tanking spec.

He has a *huge* hit box, and I worked out if you stand at max range of the hit box when he does the slam you don't get hit.

So I presume anyone who is capible of healing themselves and taking a few hits could solo this guy without using the pet.

Comentario de Bmonkey

Very easy fight.

1. Get your worm.

2. Run up from there until you find him.

3. Wait for him to turn around then when he is at range, hit him with your acid ( Try to stack till 5) on its cooldown hit him with 2

4. When he gets ready to slam you, hit 1 and move sidways because he only hits in the center.

Good Luck :D .

Worm died with the colossus having about 25% health left, ended up finishing him off on foot. Was a bit beaten up by the time he went down, but wasn't too bad.

Quite possibly the worst quest in Northrend due to the sluggish control.
Absolute crap quest but at the same time it's quite doable.

No need to submerge , did that and lost time and died. Just keep himp acid spit doted and strike meanwhile . He ll be down in a minute.

But... thanks to the those who posted the tactics...worked like a charm.

instead of going forward, i strafe left or right.. it is much faster and you see the giants foot if hes done stomping.

Comentario de foxcloud

After using this site for an indeterminate amount of time I've finally decided to create a post simply because of how insanely easy this quest was.

You don't even need the worm to beat the giant. Regardless of the fact that I'm lvl 79 doing the quest, the giant never even touched me when I was off the worm.

I completed this my first try. Found the worm and headed out to fight the giant. I followed the previous suggestions just so I wouldn't have to do it again. I spammed the attacks so that I would always cast one of the two as soon as it cooled down. My worm ended up dying so, being the ballsy person I am, I decided to fight on foot. The trick with running between his legs before he smashes the ground is to wait for when it begins the attack. That is when he stops turning to face you and you're clear to get behind him. I simply stayed on the red target circle on the ground attacking. Half of the times he used the ground smash he tried to get some distance between us, but that distance was easily recovered before he even began the attack. The fight may have taken longer but it was the easiest fight I've encountered in the entire game going up against something higher lvl than myself.

Comentario de 415974

Can just solo the damn thing in your own form. :p No need to bother with the worm.

Comentario de 258919

You have three abilities, a submerge ability which makes you unable to attack, but you have to Submerge to move. You also have a castable melee attack which causes a considerable amount of damage. Thirdly, you have a DoT acid spit attack.

Once you engage the enemy (just type /tar Iron while west of the Cradle and you'll find him, he's quite large), put the third ability (DoT) on him and start spamming 2. Whenever 3 is not on cooldown, cast it. When it emotes that he is about to slam the ground, hit 1 and get behind or beside him. Once he's done, emerge from the ground and repeat.

Simple fight.

Comentario de 439776

I didn't pay enough attention to the quest and didn't realize I had to use some tamed pet. I'm an 80 DK with Blood Tank spec, and I killed him. When he hit me with his slam and took 75% of my health I thought I was screwed, but after I recovered with Rune tap and a Pot, when I got the message he was going to slam I jumped and ran backwards and shot him with Death Coil. It was hard and it probably took me 15 mins of jumping around, that and I popped off my Army of the Dead twice, so it was > 10 mins.

I'd go the easy route though and get that worm.

Comentario de kurtiffrig

Super easy quest. I only had one problem with it. When I mounted the Jormunger it wouldn't move. Problem solved, hit the burrow button and roam around til you locate the big guy. It shouldn't take long he's REALLY BIG. There's only one button necessary to take him out, the number three acid spit. When you're ready to re-surface just target the colossus and bang away at acid spit. I completed the whole quest in about 2 minutes.

Comentario de cgrinman

weird happenings on this quest....i got the colossus to around 30% hp in my jormunguar and accidentally got hit with ground slam...predictably this got the jormunguar killed :(

so usually my next best strat is to burn the mob because im a DK and have that option unlike you rogues and mages :D

anyway so i start bashing on him (ran circles around him for the remaining ground smashes) and lo and behold i downed him.....i dont have any idea why it happened, i just know i burned 50k on a mob that is NOT supposed to be able to be killed by little ol me

maybe its just because blizz loves DKs? doubt it though.............

Comentario de 425200

actully i only took him to 250k~ with the worm but i could kill him with my protection pally, i still think you can do that from 315k, but i wasnt sure :P Just keep sacred shield and holy shield up and you should be fine.

Whenever you submerge or emerge you spin around in a random direction and go undnerneath the bosses legs, he slams you for 15k and you cant submerge, when you do acid spit you spit the wrong way and it says that my worm is dead before i can deal 10k dammage.

The controls are NOT laggy, as stated above - they are just as responsive as any other vehicle quest. You need to stop moving to 'un-burrow' which is probably why the posters above experienced delay. When you back up, you need to stop moving, and then hit 1 to unburrow and continue attacking.

Comentario de 168437

77 Blood DK. Pretty much facerolled him with forst presence and tempered saronite set. Avoid ground slam and keep the heals for when you're below 75%. Took a while but no real skill, plain faceroll.

Comentario de 484304

79 retribution paladin.. i couldnt get the hang of using the worm so.. on my 3rd try i didnt bother submerging.. i just let the worm stack on some acid DoT (and used its attack while acid was cooling down) until the ground slam killed him.. it had about 250-280k health left and i fought him like normal on a single target 80 elite.. and just ran under him whenever ground slam cast bar started.. healed with holy light here and there.. used judgments everytime they cooled down to keep my mana up..

except i had to use a runic mana potion early on because at first i was checkin my health bar constantly to see if he was hittin too hard.. i was trying to figure out if i should bother keeping up trying.. and i missed my mana regen from judgments.. but after i used the runic mana potion i realized this could be done easily.. so i focused on my action bar buttons with the occasional glance at my health to know when to heal.. np

I found the worm controls to be too awkward because of the control lag, it was easier to solo it. (T8 shadow priest) Hits for 2K on cloth, slow attack speed. Definetly not hard.

As of Patch 3.3, kiting him doesn't seem to work anymore - he just turns around and heads back where he came from. Go with Roche's tactic.

Comentario de 496908

It occurs to me that this is one of those quests that is easy as hell for regular PVPers and raiders, bur nearly impossible for players who do not raid or PVP. Positioning is everything. If you cannot get yourself in position to avoid the golem's slams, you will not be able to beat him. However, if you can get in position to avoid a slams - a skill that regular raiding and PVP teaches - then you can beat him easily, even without the worm.

My advice, then, is this: If you do not raid or PVP regularly, abandon this quest. Don't waste your time dying, swearing, and wondering why you cannot complete this quest even when you follow the advice on Wowhead as closely as you can. On the other hand, if you happen to raid or PVP regularly, then go for it.

Comentario de 496978

If you're bad with the worm, you can always use it to lower the Colossus' health as much as you can, and attempt to solo yourself.

With my mana regen as a 77 Resto Shaman, my healing and mana easily outpaced its damage, and Fire Elemental Totem and Magma Totems were free to deal the damage. I suspect this would also be soloable as a Blood DK.

Just get your worm up go near him start stacking acid and hit heroic strike kinda thing when your acid is on cooldown. When it says 'Iron Collossus prepares to slam the ground infront of him just get in ground and move to his sides or to his back and get out of ground.

Comentario de 520722

Solo'd as a 79 Demo Lock in quest blues/greens without a wurm.

I read a few of the posts here first and because a) I couldn't find the wurms I needed to tame and b) I was too lazy to look, I decided to try and solo. Another poster mentioned that this guy doesn't hit as hard as he looks like he would so I figured why not. This couldn't have been more true! The fight took roughly 5 minutes but he didn't hit me once and there were no "oh crap!" moments for keeping my pet alive.

I was a bit worried about his slam attack and a few posters mentioned burrowing and walking to the other side with your wurm to avoid it, and well that is what it appears my pet did every time. I don't think my pet got slammed once which allowed me to hang out to the side of the colossus and avoid the slam as well.

Therefore, the fight is pretty basic . . . dots, funnel and snag you a pair of nice blue pants :)

Comentario de 520809

as of right now the colossus has 315k hp. i got the colossus down to about 100k with the worm, then i left the vehicle and attacked him normally.

hit me for around 2.3k per hit as a dest lock. used a pot and a healthstone along with my voidwalker tanking for 2 seconds before i pulled aggro. use vw shield and you'll be good.

I did acid spit and went underground and kept going behind when he did ground pound.

Fun thing you can do with the worm when your with someone else doing the same quest.
DUEL

1 person gets on the worm while the person you're dueling doesn't
the person with the worm targets the other person and types /duel
2nd person accepts and runs to the controller and gets on a worm

now you can duel each other using the worms abilities, you don't lose if your worm dies until you yourself has also been beaten or you can just run to the controller again and get on a worm

I got him on my first attempt. Pretty easy fight, if i had remembered to go behind him when he used Ground Slam.
After my worm died, he only had 100.000 HP left or so, i was able to beat the last life out of him using my normal attacks.

Comentario de Ramenka

I though this was a very easy fight,didnt even lose the worm,all i did was spam the strike attack,use the acid spit whenever it was off of cd and there is plenty of warning when he gets ready to strike the ground,it is also a cast so even with the warning you have plenty of time to react,when the warning pops up for ground strike simply submerge the worm,you will take some damage but not near as much as if you are above ground.when it was done worm was still just under 1/3 HP and colossus was dead.

Comentario de 616136

Roche is absolutely right... I went down to 40% health, not 78 like someone else said, but it worked on the first try. I was very frustrated like most others by trying to get behind him... I find this works with very few bosses in WoW though I am always surprised to find how often it is suggested here on the forums!

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ok here is a quick and easy explanation.

First get your worm by going to north end of the cliff just west of town.

Your moves are as follows

1 - Submerge
2 - Melee Attack
3 - Poison

Note: Poison stacks so spam it as much as possible.

Since poison is a ranged attack spam it first followed by melee.

Continually spam 2 and 3 until you get a warning that he is going to slam the ground.

Once you get this warning hit 1 to go underground and just move forward so that you go behind him.
Notice that while you are waiting for him to slam the ground the poison continually lowers his HP.
After he slams, come back up and start with poison and melee again.

If you repeat this you should kill him with close to 40% of your hp left.

Remember, don't go side to side, he has an AOE slam, its easier to go behind him.
And always try to keep the poison stacked at 5x to do max damage.

Comentario de Allakhazam

annoying quest
so did a work around
80 hunter, 80 pally - hunter took worm form and pally didn't - pally kept me healed and i did the damage.
- we grew up in the days before Atari, PS, etc (think B&W TV) so these new quests where you 'transform' are not as easy for us.

what the heck, we got it done and that's the point - it is nice gear and 22 gold so the less deaths the more profit.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Keep 5 stacks of Acid on the giant, and keep hitting it whenever the acid spit is on cooldown. When you get the warning that the colossus is going to "...stomp the ground infront..." of it, quickly submerge and move behind it - you'll save yourself about 15k in damage.

Oh, and the colossus paces back and forth infront of Narvir's Cradle.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I tried to do this one, the way that is described on other posts and never even came close. I finally managed to complete it when others showed up to do the same thing (for which i repaid the debt by helping them until I got booted from the mount).

Get your Worm from the Worm guy on the north edge of the zone (click the orb)
press "1" to go underground (only way to move)
move him to the giant, making sure the giant is in the wide part of the gorge as someone said above.
press '1" to come up when he's in range.
Press "2" to hit him, "3" to poison him...repeating as fast as cool downs allow.
if you have your targets cast bar on, you can see when he's preparing to stomp, if not watch for the message.
which is something to the effect of "prepares to stomp the ground in FRONT of him"
when you see that, fire off one or two more hits and poison (takes about 3-4 seconds for him to cast)
Press "1" to go underground and DONT' WAIT until just before he lands the stomp because
you, as the worm, are slow to go underground and need to get moving which brings us to the secret of the fight:

*****CRUCIAL*****
>>>>> MOVE SIDEWAYS <<<<<<<

If you do this, you won't the stomp damage, then the poisons and hits will Kill the dude.
Default is Q left and E right. Alternate these...you'll only need to do it about 4 times max.
repeat the 1, 2, 3 MOVE SIDEWAYS thing and you should be able to kill him solo.
I did and I'm a discipline priest, i.e., we wear kleenex for armor.

Nice guide, to bring him down. My pet died btu i was able to finish him off

Comentario de Allakhazam

All you need to do is attack with 32223 and avoid the stomp. simply attack till he starts his stomp then push 1 to go under and backup with arrow.By doing this he will move at you and couse the stomp attack to be interupted. When he moves pop right back up and 32223 till he starts stomp attack agian and repeat. No need to side step or go under this is much more simple and by backing up this why your facing him the entire fight. Dont take extra shots at him after he starts the attack or you risk getting hit with the stomp and it hits hard. this is my first tune and i did it this way so it must be simple.

Comentario de Allakhazam

1) I did this one in my skivvies. I'm learning not to take equipment damage on quests I know I might die on.

2) I had a lot of luck going backwards and sideways, rather than going under the colossus: Dive, backup, sideways, resurface, etc.

3) The worm control don't lag so much as that there is a certain amount of cast time between hitting the #1 button and the actual dive underground.

4) I found I was able to spam the #2 key three or four times while waiting for the poison cooldown.

5) The "stomp" spell has more than a five second cast time. So, when the "stomp" warning comes, you still have time for several more #2 hits, and maybe even a poison.

6) I finished this one with plenty of health left on my second try.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I finally finished this quest on my sixth attempt. Here's how I did it...

1) When you begin the fight with the colossus, open with Jomungar Strike (#2 key) followed by Acid Breath (assigned to the #3 key)

2) While the Acid Breath is cooling down, you should have enough time to fire off Jomungar Strike two more times. When Acid Breath is ready, pop it off again. It stacks on the target up to five times, and keeping it stacked is critical to winning.

3) Repeat this process to rack up the damage as well as stack up the Acid Breath. In other words, keep going 3-2-2-3-2-2-3-2-2......

4) You will get a warning when the colossus is about to stomp. When this happens, quickly go underground (the #1 key) and scoot to the colossus's left or right. Move far enough away so that he must move to follow you.

5) Resurface and go back to Step 3.

Note that even if you do this correctly (and I'm sure it will take multiple attempts) it's still a very close fight. If your mount is killed, you might be able to finish the colossus off on your own, provided you have done enough damage to it.

Good luck! I hope this helps...

the easiest way to kill it is to simply spam both attacks as fast as possible. you will end up with just a little health, but theres no strategy involved. No need to strafe or submerge. It so easy, a caveman could do it.

This quest took me forever to complete. I tried to move behind the colossus before his stomp, but I often didn't have luck with that. I think my worm was a little retarded.

Anyway. yes. Keep the poison up on this guy. Just as I was going to die and he was going to do a stomp to kill me(for the nth time) the poison got him.

And your hits against this guy using your toon don't work very well at all. :P my spells kept hitting him for 92 or so. Yea. use the worm. xD Goodluck and don't give up if he owns you the first few times. maybe I just sucked at the quest!

To Krago the Mighty -
A most satisfying victory indeed. Big congratulations!

For the Balance Druids out there who will find that he is "Immune" to most of your spells and you must use the Wurm... I tried and died various times and ways, with and without the wurm.

Follow him with the wurm until he's his furthest point away from you into the valley. He'll turn around to come back. Then pop up and attack him, first with '3', then just spam 2 and 3 until he's preparing to "Stomp". Then hit '1' and back up a little until you're out of his stomping range (it isn't far, but if you're taking damage, you aren't far enough). Once you get used to how far to back up, you can pop up immediately (he won't follow you forward while preparing to stomp). As soon as you're up, start spamming 3 and 2 again, although 2 won't do anything until he steps forward. Spam spam spam, burrow, and back up, over and over. You have plenty of backup room since you followed him into the valley. You can't hit him from behind, so diving underneath him, popping up and turning is much more awkward. Plus going forward and under he'll sometimes still hit you with his area-covering Stomp. Back up and pop up worked best for me, I was out of the way for sure and still aimed at him.

After many attempts, this is what worked for me. Even then, it looked like he had me, and may have except when he should've went for his last stomp he didn't. I got in 2 or 3 more hits and survived. Barely.

Total repair bill: 6 Gold 87 Silver or something like that. Even with the repair bill, a financially viable quest.

Omna,

That was BY FAR the BEST quest fight help I've ever seen. Thank you SO much! I'm not a big fan of these possession quests lol...appreciate it immensely /salute

Comentario de Allakhazam

I had alot of trouble with this one because I wasn't able to take advantage of any of the advice because once the worm surfaced, I couldn't see anything but the body of the worm! I tried to him him anyway and of course kept getting the "not target" messages. Of course when the worm was submerged I could see what was around me. But when it came up, even at max pullback, most of the screen was blocked. As with previous comments, the worm was too slow to getout of the way and took damage even when submerged. Dumped the quest.

Comentario de windsing

It's quite funny seeing such a massive iron made from such an elaborate plan killed by a worm lol

Comentario de Kucky

Go to the northern cliff and use the orb right beside a Tamed Jormungar.
Use Submerge to be able to move.
After you used Emerged you can kill the Iron Colossus with your Strike and keep your Acid Breath up.
Be aware sometimes the Interface can be bugged out but you should be able to use the spells anyway even if you don't see it.
IMPORTaNT: If he is about to use slam > submerge again to crawl behind him.

Comentario de Black2u

The quest says use an orb along the northern edge to tame a worm, but where are these orbs? Where are the worms?

Comentario de breaker581

Got him down to about 100k health before my worm died, then finished him off with my 79 SPriest twink.
