First go to the little point of land just east of the Lost City of the Tol'vir. There you'll find a cat man being held prisoner on a little hill. Kill the 83 elite guarding him and then he'll run off and disappear. However, this doesn't complete the quest. You'll find him on the west side of the river delta at the Pit of Scales. It's at the end of the river, just southwest of the Lost City and east of Neferset. There's a square pool of water and the prisoner is lying in it, tied up and asleep. Clear the area of hostiles before you try to talk to him, because as soon as you do another 83 elite appears and sends 3 crocodiles one at a time to kill you. They go down pretty easily, but then he jumps into the pool to take you on himself. At the same time, some bunches of purple eggs will spawn in and around the pool. Kite him over these without stepping on them yourself and they will slow him down almost to a stop, allowing plenty of time for you to wail on him before you have to run behind another bunch of eggs to slow him again. If you're successful in kiting him while avoiding stepping on the eggs, eventually you'll get him down. I did this on my hunter and can see it's probably much easier for ranged classes. Maybe someone else can post here with better advice for melee classes. It's unbelievable how weak the rewards for this quest are considering the difficulty. Sorry I don't have coordinates but I hope this helps.

You're supposed to kite him through the purple eggs on the ground. That will put a DoT on him and slow him by a significant amount. Be careful so you dont step in the purple eggs yourself.

Commentaire de Cromulon

Just an FYI, if someone else is already killing him give them a hand, you'll get credit for it too. In my case an orc from the opposite faction had him down to 30% when I arrived, we both got credit :)

Commentaire de Verbe

This quest is kind of a pain as a melee class. The main mob has 600k health and hits pretty hard even on plate. If you run over the eggs rapidly jump to get the crocs off you, the last thing you want is them hurting you AND him beating on you which he will as the crocs slow you too.

The DoT from the eggs isn't great, if you're melee and soloing this expect it to take a while. Feral druids and paladins will have no problem as the snare will allow them to fire a heal or two off to keep themselves out of danger but he'll take a while to go down if you play it safe.

Commentaire de Drunkion

Just so you know, as of today there were 3 alliance (I'm Horde) already engaged... i dropped a moonfire and I still got credit. I am not sure if you have to be there or just hit the guy once. Worked.

Commentaire de 724640

this quest was bugged for me, i couldn t activate the "roleplay" at the first stp when u have to talk to the enslaved guy. So i went back to the pool and noticed that there was a duid guy killing him, so i started attacking him and we killed him (without being in the same group, the boss was grey to me) and i got the credit as well, hope this helps :-)

Commentaire de Ringthane

I guess that poor sob will just have to stay locked up forever, because I'm not even gonna bother with this quest again. It's a ridiculous mechanic and a stupid fight.

Commentaire de Turof

As a rogue what i found worked for me was to use kite him to the eggs at the begining using a thrown weapon and when i got 5 combo points us Kidney Shot, then beat him down until i got 5 more and ran away to kite him to next egg area. When i got low on health i would use my 5 on Recuperate. After dying a couple of times that what i found to work for my toon.

Commentaire de 728408

I tried doing this as a level 83 hunter. I tried it the way you're supposed to do it, kiting him through the eggs and all, but that failed several times. Eventually I just decided to do it the old fashioned way and let my pet loose on him. I spammed heals on my pet and threw in the occasional hit myself and finally killed him. This was much simpler in my opinion and I didn't lose a single HP.

Commentaire de falxfalx

This quest bugged on me, so I abandoned it to get it back, but couldn't find the npc to get the quest back from. Found him by coincidence later.

Commentaire de 88542

I am a Rogue and it's a pain to get it done...

I did it by waiting for a Horder hunter (i am alliance) to start putting him down to 100k...
and then i start hitting the lvl 83 elite. Once he's down, i ran straight to Tahet and got it done! =)

Commentaire de Sureshocks

So... does anyone know when this quest will be un-bugged. i am starting to get really mad, b/c is the last quest i need to finish out the quest chain, to carry on to the next area.

Commentaire de 731347

Because of the crocs, i found it much easier to just kite him around and avoid the crocs all together.

It seems like him getting the crocs can put invisible ones on you to Ive noticed

Commentaire de 734131

I tried this quest today on my 84 shaman using the eggs and the crocs and died twice. I then stood in one place and just fought him - no crocs to shake off meant less heals so I brought him down pretty easily.

Probably easier for melee classes to do it this way.

Commentaire de 700546

im a furry warrior and i found using the eggs a headache failed every tyme itz easier if u jus went toes wit him and kill him the regular way wit the weapons in yo hands and the armor on yo back guarantee success.

Commentaire de Vaeku

I tried this quest as an 84 frost DK, and it's a pain in the ass. Since they nerfed our self-healing a lot, Death Strikes don't give that much health, and I died twice doing this quest. Even Blood Presence doesn't help. And I also suffered the bug with the invisible baby crocolisks.

Best thing to do as melee is get someone to help you.

Commentaire de desnaketo

I dident knew about those eggs, so i just killed him as a retri paladin. took about 15min tho long fight. (dident die any times either)

Commentaire de grlygeek

The OP is correct... however, as a hunter I just misdirected the crocs and finally, the boss to my pet... kept him healed and refreshed the misdirect every now and then... and he killed everything for me. No need to kite anything. Turtle pets rock!

Commentaire de 315588

It may be a temporary bug:
I was hanging out in the area waiting for my turn (busy server) and took a few potshots at the big guy from my safe and cozy rooftop and once he was down I got credit for completing the quest. Didn't have to get hit or tag anything.

Commentaire de Royi

Just to let fellow hunters out there know, this quest will spawn "Gorebite" the crocolisk in the beginning. He is a purple skined Cataclysm Crocolisk. I believe he's the only current tameable crocolisk of the purple variety.

i did this with my lvl 83 blood dk, i got tired of dieing so i switched from my unholy spec to my blood spec but forgot to put on my tank gear, after i switched my spec i relized somone was already fighting him (hunter) so i decided to help i used dark command to get the guy of the hunters pet then did chains of ice and repeated while kiting him into the eggs i would every now and then run close and do heart strike and rune strike, thanks to outbreak i was able to keep my diseases on him he almost never hit me, the pet or the hunter and we kited him down fast. the hunter was not in my group and i still got credit. hope this helps :)

Commentaire de 742129

Quest worked fine for me. As an arcane mage using the spell Slow also worked great to get the NPC's speed down.

Commentaire de 742129

As an arcane mage, slow worked great to get the speed of the NPC down.

Commentaire de Wezzy

Don't bother even trying to fight him in melee range while solo; he hit my DK (Frost Spec) for 10K critical hits (43% damage reduction). Just use something to slow him or outrun him and simply kite him over the eggs and use ranged abilities on him.

Don't use AoE on him either as it will kill the baby crocolisks, too.

Commentaire de 110718

easy kill with druid tank spec

Commentaire de 736146

Easily soloed as 84 blood DK in tank gear and blood presence, without using the baby crocks.

Just keep your DS spamming up and u dont get belove 90% hp (Atleast I didnt).

Side note: I too got the invisible baby crocks of doom, i just ran away until I was out of combat and relogged (not sure if relogg is nescessary though) and the last encounter of the quest was just standing there and waiting for me to return, without the invisible baby crocks of doom.

Commentaire de 736712

Quest worked fine for me on 24 December 2010- no invisible crocs.

As 83 Hunter with Ferocity pet (not tank pet) I just kited the boss through the purple eggs while keeping Serpent Sting up on him and throwing in the occasional Arcane Shot. Did NOT send pet, thereby saving myself the trouble of spamming heals on him- this boss hits HARD on a non-tank pet (died once finding this out).

One of the times around the circuit, I got jumped by a guard, apparently not an add but just a random encounter. It wasn't an issue because boss was so slowed by the eggs/baby crocs that I had time to deal with the guard without the boss getting to me. I Frost Trapped the guard until our little procession could get a little distance past him, then sent pet back to tank him with an occasonal shot from me while I continued to kite & shoot the boss. The guard went down LONG before the boss did- this fight takes a while as others have noted.

Meanwhile, 3 other players stood around and watched me, and I couldn't take time out from kiting/managing guard/managing pet to type/yell at them "JUST SHOOT HIM AND YOU'LL GET CREDIT TOO!"

Commentaire de Massacher

a hunter was doing the quest and it was taking a while for him to dps the 83 elite down. so i figured i'd help so i wouldn't have to wait long for it to respawn. i didn't have to wait at all. it gave me credit even though the hunter had flagged it. gg.

Commentaire de 717942

Did this taking absolutely no damage as an arcane mage.
Used arcane blast on the first croc., then sheeped the second croc., and then used a.b. on the third.
Then blasted the sheeped crock.
Arcane blast is perfect for it's slowing ability.
For the elite, just did the same as everyone else. kiting him to the eggs (with arcane blast).
When he got close enough to hit, I'd blink to the other side of him and run.

Commentaire de 623321

Solo'd as an 83 blood DK, very easy, didn't bother with the egg kiting just used cds, though could have done it without them, thanks to death strike I never went below 80% health. Did bug when I killed his croc pets though, was nowhere near eggs and still got the invis crocs biting me down til I died, rezzed and they were gone however.

Commentaire de PCFerret

I just ran this a few minutes ago on a lv 83 Arcane Mage and did not encounter problems with invisible baby crocs at all.

When the battle with the 83E started I got a yellow message in the center of my screen advising me to kite him through the eggs.

I kited the 83 elite around and around the pit, having him run through every batch of eggs I could find while being VERY careful to avoid running close to any myself. My Slow spell on him helped a lot. Just had to keep applying it to him.

Commentaire de Corvak

This quest is aggravating as a frost DK.

- howling blast will knock the baby crocs off of him
- sometimes you will glitch and suddenly take 10,000 damage from baby crocs that you never stepped in.
- it's needed to further the main chains in Uldum. And the atmosphere on my server is that nobody ever groups for stuff outside of instances.

Commentaire de Twyliteskye

This was a fun quest! Solo'd as a lvl 83 shadow priest. Just keep your dots up, don't forget SW:D and make a plan what order eggs you're going to run the big guy through, that way you're not spazzing looking for the next bunch. Don't run too close to the eggs, or the young crocks will jump you. Also, very important to clear the mob from around the pit before engaging the boss. Not doing that very nearly killed me the first time, but the on the second try I had full health at the end.

Commentaire de 31987

Tried it today, seemed bugged. I couldn't talk to the sleeping NPC at all...

Commentaire de 726630

What an awful quest, and I say this on behalf of all melee classes. I kept clearing the area around, when some respawned and I had about three of them - including the elite chasing me. Advice; if your out of your depth.. run to the sea. Last chance of survival, pretty much. Did about three times, when on the fourth run some warlock and shaman landed. Then we nearly killed him and he bugged, dissapeared and respawned again straight after..? We weren't even in a group, you just need to contribute to the fight and wa-la.. job done! I reccomend getting your gear repaired before unless you'd already fixed it recently. Your most likely gong to wipe atleast once if your melee and even as ranged, it's quite difficult. The reward isn't good enough, if you ask me. I'd expect a half-decent blue. Atleast enough to cover the 30g repair fee.

Commentaire de relaxok

Frost mage - Lots of invisible crocs for me as of Jan 2nd -- i was playing without sound not really paying that close attention and i'd look up and be 1/3 health.. i ended up just pulling him to the water's edge and kiting in a circle.. only one set of invis crocs.. seems like it would be a big pain for melee.

Commentaire de 466035

I died once before i figure it out how to work with him as a hunter..

I dissmissed my pet and just spammed Concussion Shot to kite him around over the eggs, and an occasional Chimera / arcane shot to speed things up just a little bit. Snake trap worked good aswell to slow him down.

Commentaire de november

Just to point it out once more. You don't have to get in range at all as a melee DD. Simply stay out of his reach and hide behind the eggs to let the baby crocs get him. It is a pain, and it will take ages, but it will work. Eventually.

Commentaire de 495965

Level 85 Destro 'Lock.

Drop Immolate and Conflag. Kite around the eggs. Keep Immolate up with Fel Flame and hit Conflag when CD is up. Easy as pie.

Edit: If you have VW out put him on Passive.

Commentaire de 757589

If you are a mage, use your slow and frost nova. If you're a frost mage, anchor your minion and then run all over the place, continuously slowing him down. I died (with my 83 arcane mage) like 3 times. It is true that if someone else is fighting this guy, and you join in, you will both get credit.

Commentaire de Nutzy

BM hunters FTW!

Commentaire de Mandemz

Just finished this quest. It was, by far the most tedious thing I've done lately.
The glitch is still there, unfortunately.
However, after dying 3 times in prot spec on my pally, I decided to try another tactic, and I went holy spec. As the young crocs were hitting me, i'd run while healing myself. Ran south into the ocean, until I "left combat" and then reapproached the boss. While kiting him around the eggs, spammed judgement, exorcism, and holy shock.
Refrained from any AoE spells, as I believe that may be what triggered it, because as I was killing the bigger crocs that he summoned at first, i started noticing the 1.5k-1.8k ticks going off.

Commentaire de CharlzO

As silly as this sounds... the first mistake I made with this quest, was NOT paying attention to my surroundings. After reaching this on my priest, I was nervous as to my survivability. My strategy was as follows:

Kill surrounding mobs before starting the quest. I didn't realize until literally my 3rd toon on this quest, that you aren't limited to the pit. As dumb as that sounds, I completely didn't pay attention to realize that I had a lot more eggs to kite him over OUTSIDE the pit. But make sure you clear the other mobs, or else you'll be fighting them too.

After that, I just DoT him up, lure him over the eggs, and while slowed, cast a couple regular spells on him. It easily let me keep mana up throughout the encounter, and while it took a little longer than if I could've just gone to town on him, I was never in danger of dying while doing it this way.

Commentaire de Kootenai

Did this during a slow time on my server (Perenolde) with an 85 Nelf SV hunter with Spirit Bond and Improved Mend Pet from BM talent tree. Used a cat pet, and am geared around 315 ilevel. Started encounter with no clue whatsoever of what to expect.

I think I came in not long after someone else had finished this encounter. (No adds, no crocs, just Caimas on the ledge over the NPC to rescue.) Hung around for a bit, didn't see anything that indicated my next move and so started on the boss. (Didn't think I could get close to the NPC without getting aggro.)

Parked on ground at other end of pool; set Hunter's Mark, Misdirect to pet, sent pet to attack and opened SS > Widow's Venom > ES > Cobra Shot > BA. Caimas appears to be immune to Freezing Trap (no easy Lock'n'Load procs) and Wyvern Sting stun. Kept up this rotation with occasional launched Explosive / Snake Traps and Arcane shots. FD when needed, spammed Mend Pet a LOT. Got no adds at all during entire fight.

Never kited boss -- didn't know about the eggs, so didn't use. Eventually, boss goes down just as I was wondering "*Why* is this taking soooooooo long?" Completely forgot to look at his HP, and corpse despawned almost instantly on death. Talked to quest NPC which completed the quest.

Commentaire de 618242

As a warrior, though it took a while, I found it easiest to just kite him through the eggs, stand back, run to the next pile and do it again until his health was low enough to finish him off.

Commentaire de 142762

Put me in an anger management course but that bug is just ^&*!ing annoying. Fix it already Blizz.

Commentaire de 243011

Let me put it this way, allready the twin level 83 crocolisks are hard for my level 84 rogue to solo. Not impossible, but I couldn't shake the small crocs when the first big one was down to a few percent and so i died.

Yes, it was a bug when two identical crocs with the same name appeared but I managed to kill once before using vanish and then the other one was easy.

The kiting of the boss mob however was just boring, as soon as I realised I was not going to hurt him directly in any way.

Commentaire de healingenzo

Not worth the effort.

Crocs are glitched. I kept seeing one and 2 others were invisible killing me untargetable.

The boss doesn't straight line in any predictable way. I kept getting intterupted & died 8 times. 75g repairs when the drops are no good for me.

I don't think it's worth the effort.

Commentaire de R1NN1

What is weird that you get stuck to this quest. I can't find / get any other quests. Just this one from four NPS.. I have completed 43 of 108. Tried to search quest givers in Uldum with no luck.

Commentaire de 768503

I thought this quest was broken; I saw an opposite-faction player character getting whooped by the elite and struggling to escape, so I helped him. Then I couldn't interact with Tahet, and hung around for ages waiting for SOMETHING. Then I realized I had supposedly completed the rescue, so I flew off for my reward. Strange.

Obviously the pally I saved didn't know the trick with the croc eggs (which strikes me as silly, since they're EVERYWHERE and if you step on them yourself, a big yellow message pops up...). Can't wait to get my alt to this point so I can try the quest properly. :p

Editing to say: I experienced no glitches associated with the baby crocs. I should have seen SOMETHING wrong, since I ran around bursting the eggs for a good five minutes. XD

Commentaire de 773747

No problem as lvl 84 Unholy DK. Just send pet in, plant diseases. Then just kite him through the eggs and spam Icy Touch and Death Coil. Did'nt loose any HP at all. First time I used Army of the Dead also. Got the invisible crocs on me and died. Skipped that one the second time and no problems...

Commentaire de RicardoZ

This is absolutely impossible to solo on a Rogue. Get a guildy.

Commentaire de RicardoZ

Ok, just polished this one off courtesy of some DK tank that I found walking around the area and a healer from my guild. We just dps'ed him down and said to hell with the egg part. Took a couple minutes but between both of us stunning the hell out of him it was a surprisingly easy encounter. If your'e a rogue then kidney shot is a MUST for this fight.

Commentaire de 43516

Any rogues that think this is hard as hell, and it is and was, then just take a seat and wait for a mage or something to start in on him. Someone will show. then help. Worked for me.

Commentaire de Freedomstone

So i tried doing this quest today, and it started by bugging and not starting, nothing i could do to start him, tried doing what other people did and assist other people, still didn't give me credit for it, i wrote a GM ticket and went up to do the other quests..

I ran across the questgiver, also known as his dad, and according to him my quest was done, it wasn't in my questlog nor the questlist to the right, so i spent 30 min trying to figgure out how i was going to do it..

So if your stuck on this quest and you assist people and you still aren't getting the reward, just take a 2 min break and go check the quest giver, just to see if you actually completed it.

Commentaire de Furydeath

I like all the mobs hitting me for 2-4k and i can do NOTHING about it.

Commentaire de blamlock

Warlocks:

Land your flying mount on top of the pillar near the pit. I used the one behind him and to his right.

Set up your demonic circle on top of the pillar, on the edge of the pillar close to Tahet.

Mount up and land near the bottom of the pillar.

Summon your Voidwalker (Felguard probably works too), set him on passive, and get him to stand nearby, just outside the edge of the pit.

Talk to the guy to start the event, and then run towards the pillar and teleport back to the top.

Send the Voidwalker in to attack - try and let him maintain as much aggro as much as possible, use taunts whenever they're off CD. Keep him alive by healing him and don't let him get out of range. Dot up the mob from time to time. Worked for me.

Commentaire de 561934

Lv83 Affliction Warlock
Use your Felhunter for added damage.

Get your Corruption, Bane of Doom and Unstable Affliction up on him quick, along with Haunt and Curse of Elements for added damage.
Kite him over the eggs and rotate between Haunt and Felflame to keep UA and Corruption ticking, recast BoD when needed.

I had a Lv83 DK join in the fight, so he went down faster. However the DK ended up pulling aggro off me, and he dropped like a stone in water. Luckily the boss didn't reset, so finishing him off was a breeze.

Commentaire de Vesper

Another grand quest design, yes let's make it easier for ranged.
Should be a big warning on the retail boxes of Warcraft: "Melee classes not supported"

Has anyone ever done this quest on a reasonable time ie. not 3 am and not gotten ganked?

Commentaire de 764148

84 arcane mage....kited him across the eggs, no problems, but aggroed a mob near the area and had to deal with him, his pet AND the boss....got it done, but should've dropped the mob first! Since the croc eggs are scattered around and not just inside that little square area, prob. be an excellent idea to clear any other mobs around first. Didn't consider that, just ran straight in!

Commentaire de 800433

Just did as my 85 shadow priest. Had no trouble at all. Just kept the 83elite running thru the croc eggs. Kept SWP, Devouring plauge and vampiric touch DOT's and it did the work for me! Thanks for the advice

Commentaire de 681040

if u cant kill him, just kite him into crocks eggs

Commentaire de Califree

I just attempted this on my unholy DK alt, and all three crocs came at me at once. Double-death knight, now.

Commentaire de 733706

When I did this I had no problems with invisible baby crocs but it was still a real pain. I really had to practice (and got killed a few times) kiting the mob to the eggs and staying away from them myself. I found that if I got anywhere near them, I got jumped.

I also found, as was previously mentioned, that you need to clear of the area of mobs that you might agro as you drag this guy around the area. I did this one at night and the area was dark-the only way I could locate them all was to use the "V" key so that the red bars above them were visible.

As a paladin I couldn't use ranged but found that judgement, which can be cast quite aways out, worked great. I healed while the guy was sloshing trough the baby crocs and hammered him down after awhile.

Commentaire de 638613

as of March 17th, 2011, the quest is still bugged where you end up with invisible baby croc's biting you to death, and jumping up and down does not remove them. Putting in a GM ticket on this.

GM response:

We have received your petition in regards to "the pit of scales" not working properly. I wanted to let you know that we are aware of this happening, and have forwarded detailed information on this to our quality team for investigation.

Bug fix incomming as per above. I guess we all just hurry up and wait :)

Commentaire de 805553

To get rid of the invisible crocks you can attack one of the guards.
As a warrior tank I joined another warrior who was on the boss. Easy going:)

Commentaire de 445226

As a balance druid, kited him over eggs, and let crocs do the work. Occassionally hit him with insect swarm or moonfire to put dot on him and just stayed away from him, healing myself as needed. Try to stay around pool area to keep from aggroing hostiles around area...good luck

Commentaire de 45335

to avoid the invis crocs i've found u really have to make sure YOU dont go over the eggs.

anyways... best way i have found as a warrior after a few fail attempts and then looking here... is to kite him over the eggs and the crocs will attack hi for you!... if u really get bored you can attack him if u want... he is STUNNABLE, SNARABLE and probably any other movement slowing moves u got... USE EM!

i have also done this as a spriest... i remember that was the biggest joke... dots and mind flay and kiting...

easy quest if you DONT go over eggs....... hopes this helps someone

Commentaire de Kareemkorn

Just did this quest for the 4th time, this time on my frost mage alt. Every single previous time that I've done this quest I've died several times before completing it. On my melee class toons (rogue and DK) I died many more times, to the point of spastic frustration...

But Foogas, my level 83 frost mage handled this quest without dying and without going below half health even.

Hooray for Mages. Frost rules.

Commentaire de 812113

Just finished this quest as a 83 Mut Rogue. There is an really easy way to do this: open with Cheap Shot followed by a Rupture and get Recup up, then lure him to the eggs while spamming Fan of Knives :)

Commentaire de 821167

this quest is not worth doing, too hard and the rewards are poor. the cost for poitions and repairs is way too much for what you get. I would not have done this if it wasn't the last part of a chain.
to kill him, kill all the adds around the area first then just kite him over the eggs. takes a long time but at least you can do it solo this way. I am a rouge

Commentaire de 325207

I don't understand why everyone keeps saying this quest is hard. Only thing you have to do is run around past the eggs so he will run over them and the baby crocs will do the work for you. That's it, not hard at all, just kite him around. He won't even be able to touch you cause the little crocs will slow him down all the time.

Commentaire de DarkShade

WARLOCKS

Very easy fight for a warlock. Just go up the wall, put a demonic circle and start casting. The boss will go around all the wall to attack you. When he is close to you, just jump down and he will walk around to go down, continue attacking him and when is close, use the teleport to the circle, ... start again. Jump down. Teleport up. Jump down. Teleport up ...

You can kill him as a warlock letting you at 100% life :)

Commentaire de Psylo

As a lvl 84 rogue I just used Rupture and Recuperate every other time, after getting 5 combo points. Took 3-4 minutes.

Commentaire de Desertcobra

The cat man is not on the mountain, as I first thought. He is at ground level, but on terrace of a building at , 71.1, 74.0. I didn't figure out how to trigger the mob attack, as someone was there and had already aggro'd them. I joined in and got credit also.

As a blood DK, I just stood my ground and duked it out with the Elite mob. heart strike, rune strike, and death strike (to heal), plus odds and ends waiting for regen, killed him with no loss of HP.

Commentaire de sainter

A helpful hint for DK's and possibly other classes with self heals..

I found that tanking him straight up was much easier and less buggy than trying to run him over the eggs

Probably quicker too!

Eggs were bugging out hard, I died maybe 5 times without being near anyone, so I tried this way and it worked

Hope this helps

Commentaire de Chetti

I accidently abandoned the quest, went back to the cat in the chains where I got the quest.. but he didn't have it for me anymore. So I went to where the big dragon in the pool was, killed it and freed the guy.. but of course I had no quest for it to complete. So, out of curiosity, I went to the guy that gave the quest to find the map, and he had the quest. When I got back, there were 2 human pallys (I'm a tauren) killing him. So I joined in the fight, and got credit. So glad I didn't have to take him down again myself, I did it, but it took a while. Now, when I did it the first time (killed the guy just to see if the quest would pop) I don't recall seeing any croc adds. While I was killing him there was that yellow text that popped up about taking him to the croc eggs, so I did that.. and some other text that if you get crocs on you to jump to shake them off. Now, I missed the beginning of the fight that the human pallys were having against him, not sure if the croc adds were there or not. My guess is that if you abandon the quest and get it again from the guy near the delta, the adds aren't there, its just the big ol dragon.. which, I soloed as an 83 tauren pally.. but I won't say it was easy, it took a bit of time to knock him out.

I'd agree. I didn't notice any buggy croc eggs, just a pain to get him near the eggs without accidently stepping on them. I did try, but was tired of letting him beat on me while we walked over some eggs.. If at all possible, straight out smack him with all the power ya got.. might take some time, but doable as a tanking class (though i'm a holy paladin).

Commentaire de FuryWar

While doing this quest on my Dwarf Hunter just now, a Troll Warrior began attacking Caimas, so I thought I'd be a nice guy and help out by unloading my gun into him. Even though the Troll hit him first, once he died, I got credit for rescuing Tahat and flew back to the Vizier to turn it in! Moral of the story is: Help each other out, even if it's someone you'd normally be trying to kill on the Battlegrounds! :-)

Commentaire de Pypode

Now, jumping shakes off the biting crocs. Takes a while? Oh, my word, yes. But follow excellent advice. Run around pool... do not go away from pool or edge of pool, to avoid mobs. You will see there are plenty of eggs. They spawn fast. I just did what Hoggydog said. Worked a treat!

Commentaire de 834748

Just finished this..took me a good 3 or 4 minutes to down him as an 83 blood DK because I didn't catch the part about kiting him over the eggs..just tanked him down lol. Really doesn't do a whole lot of dmg, if you're a DK just pop army of dead and keep self healing and he'll go down pretty easily.

Commentaire de JuliaHB

Just kept popping heals on my pet and let the Elite stand on a pile of eggs.

Worked like a charm for my hunter as well. After the 3 crocs were killed, I commanded my pet to stand right in front of a pile of the lil croc eggs. As soon as the elite jumped into the pool, my pet started attacking (as I put him on aggressive, then defensive...lest he run off to start attacking something else). I stood on the edge to the pool, spammed heal on my pet, popped my agility trinkets, and started wailing on the boss. Lil baby crocs hatched every so often and that slowed the boss from wailing on my pet too hard. My aggro never went over 50%, so I took no hits. Took a little while to take him down (600k hp, after all), but it worked! ^_^

Commentaire de Ergates

Fair warning!

Before engaging and kiting the elite mob, be sure to kill every guard, and serpant in the immediate vicinity.

You'll be kept mobile in this fight, and the last thing you want, while trying to avoid the elite (who hits like a truck) is a bunch of adds chewing on your ass.

Commentaire de Immortalsoul

I swear, this quest is more annoying than a noob spamming "pls gold". >:@

Commentaire de 672019

For rogues:

Make him run over the eggs. (Optionally) fight him when your defensive CDs are ready (then do 5CP recuperate), then continue making him run over the eggs. Sprint when you need to gain distance. Use throw (with a poisoned throwing weapon) to keep him poisoned and for extra dps. This is particularly good for assassination rogues, as you can keep a stack of 5 DP on him most of the fight.

If you really struggle you can use bandages when you're far enough away. Avoid aggroing nearby mobs! It's a fairly easy fight, but it takes some time.

Commentaire de Alfador

Invisible crocs still kicking fire mage butt as of 4.1. Fortunately, grouped up with a healy priest, I was able to finish anyway after two deaths. On the second death, the crocs put me in combat WHILE STILL A GHOST. O_o

Commentaire de 734042

I find it slightly annoying that abandoning this quest and retaking it does not reset it. I charged straight to quest location, in my usual style, got confused as to what was going on, killed a couple of the crocs, then died. I wanted to start again from the beginning, but as I say, the quest won't reset, and the I just had to continue with fighting the surviving croc and the elite.

Commentaire de 850698

83 Shadow Priest....dotted him first then started kiting around eggs, when he was slowed down I used Mind Sear and then kept dotting him in between. I went about 5 rounds around the pool and building and he died chasing me from the dots.

Commentaire de Forsakengirl13

Did this as a lv.84 rogue. Gave me some trouble at last guy til I found out how to do it then it was pretty simple. Some pointers:

1.(for rogues, everyone else ignore) coat your weapons with Crippling Poison if you're really having trouble. This will give you some immediate added distance as he is slowed down. Thrown weapon coated in the same works well with Fan of Knives if he gets too close later on and you feel him creeping up. This should be all be unnecessary though provided you've got the hang of it.

2. DO NOT AGGRO THE GUARDS off to the sides. The areas they are in are off the sides of the stone pool area, enclosed in fences wherein there is bloody meat and bones on the ground. They will mess up all your progress and you'll have to die/vanish/run away and start over. It should be easy to avoid them if you stay close to the pool and stone paved areas.

3. As you line him up with a pile of crocodile eggs, put enough distance from your toon and the eggs. The space they occupy is a bit wider than expected, as someone else said, a bit like they are sitting on a square area.

4.He will always run at you in a linear, straight forward line. Use this to your advantage when putting a pile of eggs between you and him.

Good luck.

Commentaire de 853140

Just solo'd the boss as a Ret/Holy paladin. I was confused as to whether the health preservation was better than the damage output, and tried. It isn't. I went Ret and tried again, still couldn't get it right (100 HP away though) and even worse, when I tried the third time and kited him around, I ended up getting aggro on the guards nearby.

What I did was what everyone suggested--kite the boss around the eggs and slow him down. Fighting the guards actually helped getting my mana back, as I also advise using Seal of Insight and not Truth for preservation purposes. Divine Light if you get too low, and remember that you do have Divine Shield and Lay On Hands if things get TOO toasty (though I didn't need it I can see the applications).

It should be gravy from there if you can outheal his harassment.

Commentaire de 855517

I did this as a 84 Feral Druid in Bear form without breaking a sweat. He had very little damage output and was just a slow kill. I even stepped on eggs by mistake a few times. Ended up finishing with 98% HP. I imagine it would be very easy for a pally or DK tank with a bit of self healing.

Commentaire de Rominiust

Be very VERY careful not to jump down into the pit from the area behind Tahet's body. I made the mistake of doing this when he was at 10k health and he evaded back up to 300k. Easily done but watch out for the sentries as they will attack you, I got down to 2k HP from 65k by accidentally walking past a couple of sentries.

Commentaire de 237746

Question is, can the quest complete without him actually being rescued. When I tried to talk to him, he died. And then here came the crocs, then the boss, and first thing you know it was complete, but he was dead. Ergo, I didn't get to speak to him.

Commentaire de 749141

this quest is bugged i keep getting nto combat when i am not even when i am dead i am combat wtf i cant eat

Commentaire de 749141

i am no where near the eggs the guy does not come close for a ranged attack there are no debuffs on there is nothing the battle log i do not even see the damage numbers all i see is my health going down and down and down wtf is it

EDIT: ok this is officially weirdest quest ever i just finished this quest without getting so much as a scratch which wouldn't so amazing if i didn't get raped by an unknown invisible dot every other time as far i can tell i did everything exactly the same as every other time i failed miserably so what the hell

Commentaire de 882041

Pretty much what others have said, kill the mobs, then kite the guy all over the place into eggs, as a arms warrior if he manages to shake them off before you are in position, throw a hamstring on him to slow him down a bit, eventually he dies.

Commentaire de sphinkx

my melee strategy:
taunt or hit from far to pull him into the eggs immediately.
i am a warrior so i can shoot him with my gun and throw my sword.
do all ranged attacks while he's slowed then kite to next eggs.
about ever 2-3 times he runs over an egg... go in for a few melee hits. if you do not do this... eventually he will evade and reset, he needs to hit you min once.
rinse and repeat... the little crocs will kill him eventually

Commentaire de FixManTx

I've done this as a frost DK and while it's not as easy as on a ranged class, you need a bit more patience to get him down without dying. It works better if you put points into Chillblains which slows your target.
As several others have said, go around the area and kill the various mobs so you don't have them to deal with once you start the event. Don't forget the snakes.
Once I had killed the 3 crocs he sent at me, ran behind the egg pile near the corner opposite where he comes from and hit him with Icy Touch to put Frost Fever on him and slowing him via Chillblains. I have the glyph of Howling Blast so I could alternate between IT or HB to keep him slowed and FF on him. Whenever Death Coil was up I used it. Be careful using HB while the baby crocs are on him since it damages them too and you want them alive as long as possible. If the baby crocs fall off before the next egg pile then you can HB all you want if IT isn't up. I just kept this up running mostly in a circle as the egg piles respawn quickly so you don't need to get too far away from the "main" area. If you get too far away he'll reset and you have to start all over again. Once he was down to around 30% I popped Army and once they had aggro I ran in and nuked him down normally.
Have fun and good luck!

Commentaire de 893892

As a rogue I first died a couple times trying then just ran around the pool until his health finally ran out. I was surprised at the result but just circling the pool and avoiding the eggs worked for me. I was at about 50 percent health when I tried this and finished at about 25.

Commentaire de Etreum

Very easy to do, just kite him, he wont even touch you.

Problem is, I finished the quest (killed him), Tahet was freed from his chains, thanked me and went away, but I did not get credit.

Wait! Under objectives on the screen, it shows as not completed (question mark and quest objectives), but if I open the quest log, it shows it did complete. Totally weird!

Commentaire de conark

this was my fourth time completing this quest. the first two times, i used a prot pally and blood dk and ended up just soloing the guy without using the crocs/eggs. when i tried as a bm hunter, i kept dying because my pet would interfere too much and i couldn't heal him fast enough. last night, i tried it on an enhancement shammy. totally easy and actually i fell on the floor laughing (because it reminded me of that This is the WoW You Play youtube video/song). all you really need to do is just kite him through the eggs and keep frost shock up. i cleared the area as much as i could just so that i could run around the pit while i kept frost shocking him. around 25% health or so, i decided just to melee him down. by that point, you should just burn through your cooldowns and it should be no problem.

Commentaire de 895588

i have encountered all the bad stuff of this quest. invisible baby crocs yes, but to start with, just after the cat collapses, one big croc and then the last two come together. died. Rez and the quest did hold rather than starting. killed the two this time. then big guy came. died. ran him across eggs. died. again and so on. if the baby crocs did not land on me they kept following. died. then the random snake got me. died. -sigh- the problem is, as stated above, no other quests are appearing if this one is not completed. reported to support and restarted this area for another dead end. is this place full of that many errors? Or my deepest fear, i suck at finesse?

Commentaire de 761515

On my druid bear, I tried my best to do it the way they told me to. In the end I just tanked and spanked him away from the eggs, at level 83. Took a while but it was MUCH easier than kiting him(curse those stubby legs)

Commentaire de Funtimedehya

I continue to die from an apparently invisible mob. Combat log says "Young Crocolisk", but there's nothing there. Not stepping in eggs or anything...

EDIT: Still don't know what was hitting me, but I just decided to kill him in Blood spec.

Commentaire de 916233

As a hunter, it's really simple to complete this quest. All you do is have your pet on Neutral, mark the boss and and start with arcane shot. Keep spamming this untill your focus runs out. Refill with Cobra Shot or Steady Shot (Cobra Shot refills more though). If your pet's health is low, just click Mend Pet. You don't need to kite (at the time I didn't know). It also helps if you are BM and that you have a tank pet.

If you are a melee class, you should kite. As a Prot. pally, don't use Seal of Truth, use Seal of Insight so your mana refills on attacks (as a tank and dps, you don't have much mana). As you start the fight, do not use Avengers Shield( or whatever you begin with) . Kite the first time. Then start like a normal fight. When you get about 500k HP, kite again. You might need to heal every so often. When using Seal of Insight, your mana should not get as low to 1000. When the boss is slowed down, keep healing ( or if you have health/mana potions,use them). As prot., use only Shield of the Righteous with three holy power charges (or Templars Verdict). Just keep this up and he should be dead. Worked on me.

P.S. , it's handy if you have a shield and even lots of stamina( mine is over 70k), and for buffs, use Blessing of Might. And use Devotion Aura.

Good luck.

Commentaire de 895227

This is THE hardest quest I have ever done. (so far!)

Without a pet, a Demo lok has nothing. The tactic of leaving the pet on standby and kiting didn't work for me. Not enough mobility. In the end, I sent in the Felguard and tried to keep the aggro on him while funelling health to the pet.
I found him very sensitive to aggro, much more than usual. Even just a couple of DoTs were enough to get him chasing me. In the end it ended in a combo with him chasing me round the pool while the Felguard whaled on him from behind. He continued to ignore the Felguard even though I couldn't get a single shot off. Eventually he died first, leaving me with the barest whisker of health.

Armour in tatters from half a dozen deaths - it's an expensive win.

Commentaire de Amealamin

Confirming that this quest IS bugged.

Invisi crocs killed the s*** out of me and another player.

We solved it by just killing the boss, and avoiding any croc eggs. I pulled him back towards the waters edge and simply killed him.

Protection paladin lvl 84, absolutley no problem. I never had to heal.

Note of warning: When he dies, just get out of there, because the invisi crocs will turn up after he dies, and kill you.

Commentaire de healingenzo

This thing is STILL BUGGED ! ON my 83 DK, I start kiting him just fine. Get him over a few eggs & none on me. Then.........I'm dead. No attacks, no baby crocs, no spear thrown - nada. Recount is working just fine - I did 20K total damage on him - 0 damage taken. Just dead, with 0 damage.

What is INSANELY annoying is that this is a critical quest. I can't go on in Uldum without it. I would have thought, given a year since Cata came out, that they would have fixed it.

Commentaire de 815705

This seems to be bugged as of 12/04/11. I tried this three times. I kited the 83 elite guy through the eggs without going over any of them myself before being hit by something that did about 30k damage per second to me while wearing plate mail and a shield. Something that did not register in the combat log. ( the crocs, invisible or not, only do about 2k per second ) This should never happen. I want my money back.

Commentaire de 919493

Yeah this quest is super messed. Invisible crocs kill me 10 seconds after I attack the boss. I tried the dying in the ocean thing. I even went out as far as i could on my mount and died of fatigue, which made another glitch and my spirit died of fatigue. lol.

Anybody know if this quest is mandatory for the Uldum area? or was it the end or near the end of a thread.

Commentaire de tadelle

I was having same invisible crocodiles problem. Got killed by them 7-8 times. Then i pulled him to the beach. Killed him ( Blood DK) with normal attacks.

Commentaire de ReaverSVK

Guys today with my friend we tested it.Problem is if you go through crocodiles they will hit you even if you shake them down they will Instant kill you I was Instant killed with my tank 178K hp and 375 Item level.

So you need to find tank to tank it if you kill it without going through eggs you wont die.Eggs are bugged so don't take them!

Commentaire de 445376

Terribly buggy quest. Died about 6 times cuz of invisible damage sources. I ended up finishing this quest by NOT EVEN GETTING CLOSE to those nasty eggs. Neither me nor the boss mob. I was playing with my level 83 hunter alt so I just pulled him away from any nearby eggs and tanked him with my little burning turtle pet. I finally killed him on my own without any egg usage. Pet could tank him quiet easily. His damage is not that high. Just spam Mend Pet.

I think This quest might even be easier doable with any melee class.

Commentaire de 919867

The little crocs seem to be broken with the latest patch. If he had crocs on him and I tried attacking with with either melee or using my thrown weapon my combat log would suddenly give me 2 or three "gained dazed, daze faded" and I would be dead.

I asked in general if anyone was having problems like I was and a warrior offered to help kill him. When he tried to drag the guy through eggs, he ended up dead in just a few seconds too and he had something like 150k health.

In the end we just killed him straight up without eggs, so if you are trying to do this quest at the time I suggest getting some help if you can't solo him normally (can't say if spells or hunter shots will cause you to die if he has crocs on him)

Commentaire de 815334

I have done this 4 times on other toons; not that hard. However, trying it today with my 85DK something is not right (BUG?). Right after 4.3 patch. I cannot talk to tahet and when I try to engage the NPC, it starts out fine. Kited him past 2 eggs and all seems well, then, wham, I am dead. Not hit by anything. Tried it 3 times, same result. Tried it teamed with an 85 Pally and we both bit it the same way.
Opened a ticket but its a 6 day wait. Patches can be a pain for a while. Anyone else having this problem?

Commentaire de vgard

This quest seems more bugged than ever. Or perhaps Blizzard tried to fix it. Tried this morning, several times. Both me(horde shaman), an alliance mage and an alliance rogue got instantly killed by invisible crocs.
Gave up on the quest after getting killed three times. One fun thing that happened was that the rogue went afk nearby. The crocs found him even though he used no abilities and did not get aggro when I tried to solo it.

Later tonight i tried to pull him towards the water, he reset just before he hit the shore all the times I tried. Used all my ranged abilities as an enhancement shaman, to no avail.

Lastly I tried nuking him on the spot where he spawn, after I waited a few minutes for the invisible crocs to despawn. That worked, but it took some time to get him down. He also almost killed me, but that may be because of my crappy gear. Just switched from elemental.

Hope this can help someone else. Just nuke him in place, or pull him away from some of the eggs. Went out of combat the very moment he died, so no invisible crocs that time.

Hard to believe, but Blizz seems to have decided this stupid quest was too EASY and modified it. Have done it over a dozen times on various toons and it got kinda mechanical, tried it tonight for first time in couple months and it's freakin' impossible. Ranged DPS used to have it easy, now mysterious and major damage to my mage while doing the kiting over the eggs.

Commentaire de 923198

If you walk over an egg you must jump up and down to get rid of the baby crocs. Also i found it easier if u stand on the outside of the and pull dude out. For some reason every time i tried going into the pit i died instantly. I completed quest with my lvl 84 druid. Just pulled him out and melee'd him

Commentaire de 329098

Well this one was bugged for me today aswell. Getting the first crocodile minions of him then he jumps down, and then I get killed by invisble baby crocs when I'm not even moving yet. They did'nt spawn or my corpse or anything. But it is annoying. Going to try to just kill him without the eggs now.

*edit; gave up, asked a 85 guildie and he killed it for me. :P

Commentaire de 923424

This quest is still bugged. Got killed several times, very frustrating. I find it ridiculous that they have yet to find a fix. I tried abandoning the quest, that did not work. Had to eventually get a friend to help burn it down. Still annoying!

Commentaire de 364810

Just finished this quest as of 16/12/2011, 85 ilvl 382 elemental shaman.

What looked like, and should have been, a walk in the park, turned out to be a serious nightmare. I died a total of 8 times, not by failing and running into eggs, but being nearly one-shotted by invisible crocs. After hitting both my head and my keyboard, and the former with the latter on more than one occasion, I took a step back and gave it some thought. Trying out different strategies and other ways to approach this, even bursting him with a near 35k dps straight flag burst (cd's, bloodlust, etc.), it still wouldn't work.

Finally, I figured that it was my AoE (chain lightning) that actually tossed the crocs off my target, and made them creep up on me in an invisible way. After using a rotation that was limited to single-target damage, he went down like a charm. Even tried it a second time to make sure AoE was the dealbreaker, only to see my theory confirmed.

So, if you don't want invisible crocs, don't AoE ;)

Commentaire de 913751

I am a warrior and trying to do this quest with absolutely no success. I am kiting him into the eggs but like others were saying, invisible crocs are attacking me but i am getting hit for 50k hits. I have 112k health at this point and i just get slaughtered before i can even kite him into 2 bunches of eggs. Good Job Blizzard way to totally screw up a simple quest. Also, I have done all the quests for all the other Cata areas. Now Uldum is the only place left and i need this quest to continue with the quest line in the area. Might as well write a ticket and see if Blizz will just let me beat the quest without actually doing it.

Commentaire de mlawson03

I've run this quest several times with no problems, but I had major issues with it today due to what is apparently a known bug. On my shadow priest, I just kept up DP and SW:P and then hit SW:D on cd while running the mob around the square behind me. It took me a couple of tries, but he finally went down. WARNING: Avoid the croc eggs at all costs. If you even gret close to one, it will slow you down enough for the invisible crocs to kills you.

Commentaire de evooroni

If you experience a bug in the pit and die randomly there is the option of kitting them out and avoiding the eggs all together so that still complete the quest. On the east side of the pit, first kill all the random beast and humaniods on that side. Then you are ready to taint or range hit the pit master to get him to run east out of the pit. At that point you about to avoid the bugged pit and keep kiting him around the group of trees slowing/damage him down without having the baby crocs get on you too. take a little longer but a cheaper repair bill this way.

virtually impossible to do as a prot warrior, maybe it can be done in fury, but it was such a waste of time I abandoned the quest. Probably the worst quest in Cataclysm

Yesterday I was suffering from the "invisible crocodile" bug, and getting nowhere; I also saw the mob resetting for no obvious reason whilst being kited by a hunter close to the pool. This morning, shortly after a rolling realm restart, I was able to kite and DoT the guy to death with my shadow priest with no problems and at the first attempt.

Commentaire de 508201

After attempting this over two days, I abandoned it and re-acquired it yesterday, just after the Dec 20 hotfix.
I (Prot Pally) stood in the pool, battled both crocs that he sends out first, then tanked him on the spot in the pool, didnt drag him across the eggs at all, used AoE attacks without an 'invisible baby crocs' biting my behind.
Quest completed, no troubles now.
* However, I cannot confirm if it has actually been fixed or if I just found a good spot to stand.*

Commentaire de 926923

After trying countless times on my 83 to 84 Blood DK and getting the invisible crocs by the time he hit 150K, I decided to pull him out of his pit towards one of the little rivers in the delta. Worked beautifully. I jumped constantly just in case.

Commentaire de Njiranna

Just did this quest, after dying for the 4th time, I decided to look it up and found all these comments. My boyfriend and I ended up kiting the crocs straight back to the beach along with the big guy. Once we got him stright back to the edge of the beach the little invisible buggers were no more... only problem we had was a bad 85 mage who tried to kill us in the process of us killing the big boss. Silence FTW.

Commentaire de 927081

Best solution I got as an 84 Enhancement Shammy, lure the boss the hell away from the pit with something that is ranged (Do not be in the Pit while luring).
Personally I went down to the river banks. There you can solo/kill him without insta-dying.
I soloed him easily with Feral Spirit and Fire Elemental, if any class has issues I suggest teaming up, but at least you don't die for no reason.

Hope this helped :3

Commentaire de 892035

I did this with my druid, my hunter and now i tried it with my rogue. My hunter got some help and could do it, my druid was 85, can do it alone than. My rogue is 84, and also with some help, we both got killed time after time. It still seems bugged too, cause then there were some crogg eggs, and then there were'nt..... I waited with this quest, because i know it is so difficult. But now i can not finish it and the other quest i got left, is horrible too. The one where you need to take some stuff and the dragon can see you, even with the cloak..... that will take some deaths again...bleh!

Commentaire de 116782

Having just done it and died 4 times due to invisible crocs I figured it out.

Rule # 1 Stay out of the water! Go in the water, you die. When you kite him to the eggs, you can go on the sloops but if you get in the water you WILL die.

I ran around the eggs and never got nailed by a baby croc once. Went in the water and round the eggs (way around) and got jumped by the invisilbe crocs every time.

Rule # 2 Clear ALL the mobs in the area. Even the ones that look like they should be far enough away that they should not be a problem. They will be.

Mobs that I was sure were well out of ag rang moved in once I started kitting him. Then they jumped me so better to make sure everything is dead before you start.

Comment: Be ready to be bored out of your skull. It takes a long time to kit this mob over enough eggs to kill him off. Make sure you make a trip to the head before you start, or cross your legs, your choice.

On my 14th try,i finally killed him, first i left my pet sitting dead, and i cleared all the mobs patrolling the shore south of the pit. after that i started kiting him (do not use traps), all i used were serpent stings, chimera shots, concussives and scatters, and lots of steadies(did this in fox), kited him around and around the center of the south shore(do not go to any ends of the shores cause he will reset.,

Leveling my alt rogue, I opened with cheap shot and got a recoup up. Got my distance before CS ended and he was still hitting me with melee attacks while slowed from the crocs....from something like 20yds. Just adding another aspect to the buggy-ness of this quest.

Commentaire de kalfeer

Was able to solo this today, 12/27/11, with 84 Blood DK, avg ilvl 311, mixture of quest blues and greens. Started the fight with Outbreak, then used more or less standard rotation: Death Strike, Heart Strike, Rune Strike as they came available. Refreshed Outbreak when it was down. Used Blood Tap once, and popped Oremantle's Favor trinket near the end for the increased critical strike chance. Did not use Bone Shield, Vampiric Blood or Army of the Dead. Just fighting him toe-to-toe I never went below 95% health.

Melee fear not!

Yes the quest is bugged but i believe i found a spot that is not. After several wipes from the invisicrocs...croc soup tonight!... are group split up but i noticed our skeletons were in roughly the same spots. So i figured we were picking up the crocs in the same areas so i started looking at where we were when they attacked...

Long story short you see the building off to the right. Kite him around that building into the eggs and never picked up any crocs.

Commentaire de xpuntar

What a garbage quest! I died at least 6+ times as a lvl. 85 goblin fire mage (avg ilevel=377) due to both bugs (instant death and invisible crocs)

Than finally I was able to kite him mostly by using scorch successful by not triggering invisible crocs. And by some very little help from 2 alliance players.

Total waste of my time and gold. Instead of interesting and fun quest players got absolutely screwed, with frustrating, and boring quest due to badly implemented mechanics and just plain horrible coding!

Commentaire de 929835

i just completed this quest on 28 Dec 2011. i was using my 85 dwarf Shaman (Enhancement/Restoration). i tried 10 times to complete this quest and kept dying. Then remeber reading from this blog about AOE. So I thrown a lighting bolt at him and ran to the building right behind him set my totems and went toe to toe. i healed three times not really needed to buti was sort of worried about the invisible crocs coming after he died. they didn't. Tip don't go into the water.

Commentaire de geodus

As of 2011-12-29, this quest is still broken, but you can complete it. Here's how I've done it on several different alts:

The problem (that I've encountered each time) is not "invisible crocs" but getting mysteriously killed without any indication why in the combat log. What happens is that when the crocs start attacking Caimas, they slow him down briefly, which is what normally allows you to kite him while you do ranged attacks to bring him down. After a short time period, the baby crocs are supposed to die and despawn. I suspect that what is happening is that instead of the quest script causing the baby crocs to die, it kills his current target -- you -- instead.

The trick to completing the quest (while this bug exists) is to avoid having Caimas or you ever trigger the baby crocs from the eggs. You're probably likely to find Caimas standing around idling in the middle of the pit after someone else gave up on the quest, in which case you have to be careful how you engage him. If you start from the more natural east side, he'll trigger one of the egg clusters as he runs towards you (even though it isn't really that close to him). If you start from the ledge on the west side of the pit, you can drop down and aggro him without either of you triggering the eggs.

Caimas still hits pretty hard, and unless you've got good mitigation and self-healing abilities, you're going to find this hard to solo. Death knights, paladins, feral druids, and even hunters won't have much of a problem, but it will be difficult with other classes, so bring a friend.

Good luck.

Commentaire de Froseth

It appears that this quest is still buggy (posting on December 29, 2011).

My character would simply die - the combat log nor what I saw could explain why. I'd ponder that invisible crocolisks in the ground are responsible for my death, but I can't say for sure. I was able to complete this quest by simply fighting the elite. I had a pretty easy time (I was playing on a Blood Death Knight after all, other classes might have a bit more difficulty) and finished the fight with about 75% HP left after about a minute or so of combat.

My point is that your best bet at this point would be to fight the boss head-on, either solo or with some teammates, and completely forego the buggy mechanics of the quest.

Commentaire de 930099

As an 83 arcane mage, I witnessed an 85 orc hunter die then decided what do I have to lose? I spammed him with Arcane Blast a few times, casted Mirror Image and Frost Nova, then dpsed him until he died.

I got credit for freeing Tahet and turned in the quest with no problem.

Commentaire de iffy

Urrrgh.

I've done this on several characters now, and after figuring out how it works, the quest went fine. On my other characters.

On my hunter, however, even with my pet on passive, if I so much as land near the boss, I get invisible baby crocs. I don't attack, I don't stand in his aggro range, I don't land on croc eggs, I'm not even NEAR croc eggs.

There are just a bunch of skeletons nearby, and some other characters who seem to be having the same trouble I am. Maybe someone else has him aggroed?

My suggestion for those trying the quest: Land somewhere you think is safe. Wait a few seconds. Do you get in combat without doing anything? Run away!

Commentaire de 585306

As of December 29 it's still bugged. Had to come here to find out what the invisible force was that was practically one-shotting my Blood DK. Only using single target attacks didn't seem to work for me, perhaps there were some crocs left from previous attempts. I do have 2/2 Desecration but I'm not sure if that counts as an AOE aggro as it doesn't do damage.

I ended up being able to complete it, though I'm not sure everything I did was necessary. I logged out, back in, went with solo attacks again, and when he was at 30-40% health I saw I was losing health to something invisible (though not nearly as hard as before). Launched my army, went all out and got him down.

Commentaire de Ysosrslawl

This dude was kicking my butt on my DK until i decided to straight up tank him way outside of the area with the eggs, popped army, Rune wep, and let my mastery and deathstrikes do their thing :P

Took me a little while but i got him

Commentaire de Ringkeeper

as of 4.3 this quest is pain in the ass. As some stated already, the invisible crocks (and maybe eggs) are the worst thing.

Doing this on my level 84 Paladin. I´m not near the eggs, i dont attack the crocks , i jump all the time and i drop from 94k life to 0 in 1 second. In combat log nothing is written , just "you died" .

Frustrating :(

*edit*
Ok.. tank and spank worked, with staying away from any egg. But unfortunally, not every class can do this. GM said, they know about the problem and are fixing it... as usual^^

Commentaire de th3pum3

The quest it's still bugged. The only way you can do it, it's avoiding activating any of the eggs. maybe you can find a tank and some healers to do it, or a level 85 to solo it; else you will not complete the quest. Also, if you call a level 85 and touch a single egg, you will all die.

Hope this helps someone.

psdt: the elite doesn't has to activate a single egg, neither you.

Commentaire de Eledhwen

Level 84 Holy Paladin. I did it the old fashioned way. Pulled the elite to me, kept myself alive and spammed Holy Shock and Exorcism. Eventually he died. Biggest problem was keeping my mana up while I healed and DPSed.

Didn't even bother with the croc eggs. The one time I tried to jump out they killed me. It was easier to take on the Elite. Once he was dead the Prince was freed.

Commentaire de kargool

The easiest way to take the boss is to pull him away from the pit and kill him like any other elite mob.

- When fighting away from the pit, the invisicrocs do not attack you. (They might not spawn or just don't pull aggro)
- The boss is vulnerable to slows and is easily kiteable, my problem was running out of mana.
- He doesn't hit very hard so any melee class can just bring a friend and burn him down.

I did this by simply asking for help in general and someone else came and did the quest with me.

Commentaire de Andriassa

I just ran it with my NE..
Was just standing there looking, and just as by the hand of God, boom dead... :/ *sigh* stupid ghost crocks!

And I wasn't even near any eegs, at that point...
Hope they fix it soon...

Commentaire de 930959

Okay i found a way to kill him by yourself. dont let him run over the eggs, just take him head on... then the bug wont kick in

Commentaire de Goggeta

if you pull him to this spot you will not going to have invisible little crocodiles!
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/36/wowscrnshot010112165034.jpg/

PS i took him there with the help of a 85lvl tank DK. if your class can hold the damg from the mob you can take him there alone!

Commentaire de 929580

I'm currently doing this quest, 8:21 Jan 2. 2012, the invisible croc's still destroy you. I tried soloing him w/o kiting, didn't work, I got a buddy and we 2 man'd it, but I would just avoid doing this quest as intended b/c the invisible croc's still exsist, and they WILL kill you after bubble.

Commentaire de 931503

This is incredibly bugged. I went in all guns blazing before reading these comments and just got battered so after reading up I went in and attempted the kite method (lvl83 Belf affi lock).

Just as I alt-tabbed back to WoW I saw a Dranny warrior get pretty much 3 hitted by him so I began to to prep and start clearing the ads around so I could try kiting.

I was still in Dem spec (was going to go into affi for uber dot kiting) and was to the left of the pit. I just finished killing the 1st ad and suddenly my Felguard dropped dead and a few seconds later I shared the same fate!

I was nowhere near the eggs and hadn't opened any. This is so odd. The Felguard and then my toon just dropped dead after killing a standard mob.

Commentaire de 931512

I tried doing this quest last night on my 84th Paladin, had an 83rd Rogue also working on it so we grouped up. Tried taking him down 4 or 5 times before giving up. This morning I dropped it and picked it back up, went down there, saw a 83rd Horde working on him, so I started helping him out, the Horde died, I kept kiting him around the pool through the eggs, the Horde came back and helped finish him off. I got credit even though he was grey to me the entire fight.

Commentaire de 931503

After my last comment of annoyance I managed to do this! (83 Belf affi lock).

1st make sure you clear any mobs around the pit (including the damn non-critter snakes!). I can only bias these tactics towards locks but adapt it how you like for other classes. I'm also not sure how you would do it as a purely melee class that doesn't have much Kite option but I'm sure there are other tips from melee players.

Tips:
-Get rid of your demon or pet (it will just get in the way).
-DONT tread on the eggs yourself.
- He will activate the eggs just by walking past them - he doesnt need to go OVER them. You WON'T activate eggs just by walking past them.

Tactic:
- Start behind him (at the top (north) end edge of the pit). Doing this means he has to run forwards out of the pit and then around the side meaning he will probably trip 2 sets of eggs, keeping him far away. (for affi) - cast haunt and UnstableAfli and drop a CoE on him plus BoA and Corruption and maybe a shadowbolt if he's still far away. For non affi spec just dot then incinerate him etc. until he's close.
- Now just kite him round the edge of the pit. There are loads of eggs round the edge so keep running around the pit keeping him at distance and keeping instant dots up. Once he's slowed by eggs, turn round and re-cast Haunt and UnstableAfli plus a nuke or 2.
- AVOID the eggs. Its easy to just run past them. He will trip them as he runs past them. When he trips an egg, get your distance, make sure he's in sight (not behind a pillar as I found a lot), nuke and re-cast non instant dot spells.

If you keep doing this it will take a few minutes to down him.

Just remember clear ads around the pit, start at the top end of the pit so he has to run out first and every time he's slowed and you have some distance use it as an opportunity to re cast non instant DoTs or nuke.

Also I can't emphasise enough don't hit the eggs yourself and as you run round the pit he will naturally hit eggs himself - he doesn't need to run over them just past them so don't risk it by trying to jump over the eggs or anything silly because you will die :).

Thanks to everyone for the hints towards kiting him.

Commentaire de Palalink

There appears to be a bug on this quest, if you engage him and lure him to one of the eggs, you will get one-shotted by something strange (dont really know from what), but ive got a solution for that bug, its quite though and it requires a good geared 85 to help you, or a full grp helping you.

Do like this, kite him out to the beach without letting him hit any egg pile, then simply nuke him down. It worked for me atleast, hopefully it works for you to!

Commentaire de 930791

Bugged as of right now. I keep dying to nothing. Check my logs and nothing, full health one second, dead the next.

Skippin it for now I guess.

Commentaire de 911219

i am on my feral combat druid trying to get unhearthing uldum so i got this quest and was about to start when some invisible thing was attacking me. i died like 5 times said"well this is a crappy quest." then i came here to see what was happening.for people with this problem i recomend being 85 and luring (sorry for spelling people) him out of the pit to the right of the way he faces(by "he" i mean the guy you have to kill).or just bring a friend!:D

hope that helps! =D

Commentaire de 912436

As of Jan 3 it is still bugged

But I just solo'd him as a blood death knight, had no problems at all.

He has about 500k health
Once I stopped trying to do the quest with the crocs, and just flat out fought him it was fine.
Just pull him out of the dip.

Commentaire de 923612

I just solo'd this with a 85 blood elf hunter with the quest bug. After dying about 20 times I ended up dismissing my pet and removed my multishot icon and ran around counter clock wise in Aspect of the Cheetah hitting pool boy with Serpent Sting until he finally died. Don't use you pet or multi-shot, don't use anything that will agro the little invisible crocodiles. Follow a wide path staying far away from the eggs. Definalty clear the surrounding mobs.

Commentaire de 822930

Still very bugged with the invisible crocs. Still doable if you're a class that can kite, sorry melee. Did it as an 83 Marks hunter....pulled him out of the pool, had my pet tank him...kept mend pet up / kept Misdirect on my pet and got him down pretty quickly.

Commentaire de 931985

I managed to complete this after dying at least 6 times (stubborn). Lvl 84 enhancement shammy wearing mostly greens. Tried kiting him with several different variations, none worked. The invisible baby alligators got me every time.

After reading here I pulled him down to the beach to do it the old fashioned way .... and he reset and returned to the pit.

Re-cleared the area and pulled him away from the pit but not as far as the beach and just worked him down, healing a lot, used spirit wolves to pull aggro off of me so I could heal, kept burning, used earth elemental to pull him off of me so I could heal, and finished him.

Disappointed because the idea of the quest was a fun one. The implementation just didn't cut it.

Commentaire de Jibtech

If you can get help from someone or you have a tank spec that can heal through him this is your best bet. As long as you DO NOT MOVE from where he is standing, the invisible crocs will not kill you. Died about 5 times before I tried to just tank and spank him, which resulted in no invisible crocs killing me. Hope this helps, good luck guys.

Commentaire de 62991

My theory about those invisible crocs:

I tried it today with my 83 priest, never having had problems before on other characters. As i first approached the pit, i noticed that my framerate dropped slightly, as if there were a lot of mobs around.
So not knowing of the problems this quest posed, i proceeded normally and not long after, my health dropped pretty fast and i died. I thought "what the hell?", came back, rezzed and tried again. Soon after i tried a third time. Then i came here and read about those invisible crocs. Then after some thoughts and a few more tries, i think i can conclude the following:

Those invisible crocs come from players dying during the quest and the baby crocs active at the time don't despawn. Because during my few tries i noticed two things: My mentioned fps drop near/in the pit got bigger after each try and my death accured faster every time (the first time, they took about 6-7s to kill me, the last time i got killed in under 1s)
They follow normal threat rules. And because the big npc actually does no threat to them, every little bit will stick them on you. That means: AoE damage, any kind of (self-)healing and buffs that produce aggro (like PW:S)
After you die, they go to the middle of the pit. I did 2-3 tries while avoiding to use any kind of aggro (no vampiric embrace, no PW:S, no devouring plague), but when i needed to use them, it took longer to die depending on how far away i was from the pit

Until blizzard fixes this bug, the only way is to get to 84 as soon as possible and head over to Twilight Highlands.

Commentaire de 932722

Tip : make him hit the eggs ^^ that's work for me but hard one @_@

Commentaire de 932898

Pull him out of the pit and towards the beach but not so far that he despawns. Near the 2nd row of trees is good, a class with self heals should be able to do it solo.

I found that there's a lot of people who have stopped the quest and are doing harrison jones. Just ask in general and tell them you've found a way to stop the bug. Easy way to get a group if you're having trouble soloing :)

Commentaire de Eventeo

Good News Everyone! Well... Good news hunters! If you have a tanking pet, use it, keep passive, and pull boss yourself, all the way to the river, cross to the middle island, and let your pet tank him on the far bank, keep throwing a heal on your pet, and dps away carefully... a minute later, boss is down! No pesky instant deaths or invisible crocolisks!
Hope this helps!
Just solo'd this 3rd time around, after being told to skip the quest by a GM... lvl 83 BM Hunter :)

Commentaire de 924218

Still bugged at 07.01.
I'm not entering the combat, invisible crocs attacking without any note in clog.

Commentaire de 930096

It seems that the quest is still bugged at 4.3 patch. Invisible/Invincible crocs assault you. I was still able to complete the quest at lvl 83 Arcane mage. I avoided all the eggs, kept manashield on all the time, used arcane power and mirror image and managed to kill him. Even though the quest is bugged you, it is not impossible. If you got heals or absorbs or anything just try it. Quest elite has like 600k hp and it might take couple of shots to kill him.

Commentaire de 863152

Confirmed. If you just kill Caimas on your own without leading him over the eggs, you do not mysteriously die. Just soloed as an 83 enhancement shaman.

Commentaire de 733706

Submitted a ticket as my character repeatedly dropped dead for no apparent reason as I was clearing the area in preparation for following the suggestion of pulling the mob toward the water.

I did not approach the eggs and no baby crocs appeared, yet I repeatedly fell over dead. I did the quest on my main a few patches ago and though it was difficult I did not have this problem.

I completed the quest by simply re-trying over and over the suggestion of pulling toward the water and finally did not drop dead and was able to actually engage the mob. As a DK I used all the tricks known to me and was able to down the mob after a prolonged fight.

When the GM finally contacted me he said that the quest was known to be bugged and was surprised that I was able to complete it. He even went so far as to ask me how I did it!

Commentaire de tnelav

Bugger it, this is where I give up. Tried to kill him six times. First time I got killed by invisible crocodiles, the other five times I got insta-killed by gods know what. Repairs are going to cost me a fortune. -.-

Edit:
Went back to Uldum at lvl85 and while I was there, tried this again (I never abandoned the quest)... and I DID IT.
I'm not sure whether I got lucky or it had been fixed in the meantime, but when I arrived there, the quest was reset, I had to release Tahet again and kill the crocodiles and there were no bugs when the big guy attacked. No invisible crocodiles, no insta-death, even though I killed him by driving him into half a dozen egg heaps. :D
So unless it was indeed fixed, Tahet resetting seems to eliminate the bug. At least it did for me.

Commentaire de saito200

I simply soloed the elite with my dk blood far away from the stupid croc eggs... Died 4 times because of the crocs before simply doing that.

Commentaire de 934508

As most of you probably know this quest is majorly bugged... My own experience with many tries with multiple characters and friends has been the random one hit smiting by the angry Uldum gods.

Here is how i completed this quest on my Warrior with help from a Restoration Shaman.

-Free the prisoner and deal with the crock adds that spawn

-When Caimas comes down don't pull him straight away, instead find a spot where u don!t randomly die and get your healer friend to stand on a pillar safe from random smites.

-When you've found your spot pull the boss, don't move and don't AOE if u have decent gear and a good healer you should have him down in under 5 minutes.

I tried this quest many times and the try before the kill i started dps'ing him successfully until I used Bladestorm (hence my discovery about AOE)

I hope this helps because the Uldum quest chain relies on this ques.

Comment and rate if this helps.

Commentaire de 115749

One hit death here. I was trying to lure him into the eggs, and I only made it to one patch of eggs. Then he hit me and I died instantly. I died 4 times trying to do this quest before giving up. I don't think it's fair he can kill you in just one single hit. Even with a full party, everyone would die. I'm guessing it's still bugged. :/

Commentaire de wowapalooza

As of today this quest is still bugged. I would be fighting him and pulling him through the crocs, then all of a sudden die for no reason at all.

Commentaire de Samatman

This is still currently bugged. Two other people were working on him, trying to drag him around the pit onto the eggs. They were both insta-killed. I hopped into the center of the pit and tried to just kill him in place but after about 15 seconds I was also insta-killed.

After ressing, the elite had completely reset. I talked to him (from the air) and initiated the sequence. He moved to the top of the platform and spawned crocs. I waited, still flying above the platform, as invisible baby crocs killed all the spawned crocs and he jumped into the center of the pit.

I dismounted and hit him with a ranged attack then ran back beside the building, away from all eggs. At that point it was a simple matter of tanking him for almost 2 minutes until I could dps him down.

Just get him out of the pit and away from the eggs and it's a fairly normal fight against an elite mob.

Commentaire de Sitix

I had a really bad time doing this quest in blizzard way because of the invisible baby crocs, at the 5th try i did the quest in my way and kited the elite as lvl 83 arcane mage to the big tree in front of him and run around it while I cast arcane blast/missiles till i killed him and complete the quest.

Try this quest after server maintenance, be it a restart or what have you.

Monday night, I tried it, the instagib hit me. Tuesday night, after I thought about it, I tried it again... and everything worked just as it should have.

If this works for you, upvote! If not, please comment.

Word of the day is...............BUGGED, still, but there is hope after all. Do it the old fashioned way :-).
Take him away from the pit and beat his worthless a$$ down like the little $%^&* he is. It worked for my DK who was unholy spec. Used all cooldowns including army of dead, gargoyle, and my herb special ability, that i did not need.

FYI, this quest is bugged and you won't be able to finish it. Open a GM ticket and wait for a response. Once you explain your situation, the GM will ask you to log on to another toon. While you're on another toon the GM will tell you that Blizz is aware that this quest is bugged and they will finish the quest for you.

Tauren Feral Combat Druid:
Tried this 8-10 times last night and had the instant death 95% of the time. Every time I show up he is already standing in the pool, there are no crocs and the elite will not acknowledge my presence until I hit him either with a ranged spell or smack him with a melee. I tried running him through the gauntlet of Baby Croc Eggs and would end up falling over dead after he hit the first batch, showing no damage. I run a level 84 Druid in Feral Combat and a melee attack is extremely difficult. I will take the advice of some of you and Scream for assistance as I have completed all of the Harrison Jones quests trying to avoid this one and this quest is what i need to continue in Uldum.
Thanks for the info guys!
P.S Also Filed a ticket with the GM and am waiting for reply, will update post with result.

UPDATE: The ticket was answered within 3 hours and the quest was completed for me and I was able to carry on questing in Uldum. They did note the issue and assured that they were working on it. Just an FYI for those still nail biting on this quest.

Commentaire de Mightyblimp

Just soloed as a feral druid, very easy to do if you're able to heal or pet tank. The whole "he one shot me" thing is a bug most likely due to what can only be defined as invisible baby crocolisk ghosts. You can avoid this by instantly pulling him back to the waters edge just east of where you engage him.

The bug is present in 4.3, should hopefully be fixed by 4.3.2.

Commentaire de DavisJ3608

On January 18th, I contacted a GM about the "Invisible Tiny Teeth" bug and was informed that it's a known issue, but because solving it would require a huge overhaul the GMs have been given the power to grant quest credit if you can't beat it. Obviously this shouldn't be a first course of action, but I'd tried several options (including getting a bunch of friends over and trying to kill him before I died from the glitch) and this was just the easiest way of getting that problem fixed.

Commentaire de tobyharding

This is still bugged. Folks have reported that you can ticket a GM to obtain completion, but this is the result I got:

"Thank you for reporting this to us. Our development team are aware of this issue and it will be corrected as soon as possible. Please be aware the quest is still completable currently though it is much harder to do."

So, no, you can't just ticket and run, alas.

EDIT: after a quick... errr... discussion with another GM after I followed-up, he admitted it was too hard and it was flagged as completed. He indicated that a group might be able to do it, but given that I only took a 6k hit and was dead, that seems improbable.

Commentaire de gealex

This quest is still bugged to hell and back, why it has not been fixed is beyond my understanding as it used to work reasonably well upon the launch of Cataclysm.

Commentaire de Zaiklyx

Hey. I did this quest, and noticed that something kept killing me. So i checked the combat log to see what it was. And it appears it was the crocolisks from the eggs. So after thinking the quest through over and over again, trying to figure out how to do it. i finally got to the conclussion: What if i could kill him without the eggs? So i pulled him close to the river infront of him. so he was far away from the eggs, and then i started kill him. And yes, this worked for me, and i completed the quest. So for anyone who's trying to figure out this quest. Here you go, and hope it helps :)

Commentaire de 718694

What I found worked best for me is to not stay in the same spot for long, keep moving... and I also found that being anywhere inside the pit, was fatal. I just kept running around the rim and kiting him over the eggs... it does prolong the fight somewhat, but it's better than continuously dieing.

Commentaire de TheRealLink

This was an interesting quest for sure - I did hit a bug a couple times I'm pretty sure.

Basically first step was to kill the guy's pet crocs. Killed one just fine without moving in the pit too much. Killed the second one fine. Got the third one down to maybe 15K left and I just noticed my health go from 150+K to 0 in about 3 seconds. Not sure what the heck it was but I don't think I broke any eggs (or maybe I did on accident). I waited a second to release and the second croc must've gotten babies on him because he died soon after, leading the boss to take up position in the center. He still waited for me to res and return to the pit.

For the boss though, even if I kited him into the eggs, I for whatever reason kept hitting that bug of utterly obliterating damage to my 85 Fury warrior. 30K+ hits kill you in 2 seconds flat so it was a little aggrivating. At one point I started taking damage simply getting *near* the pit and seeing nothing attacking me. The area might've had a mob or two but nothing causing damage like that.

The solution I finally found after 4-5 deaths was simply charge in, and beat the boss where he stood without using any attacks that are AoE based (cleave, thunder clap etc.). Just Bloodthirst, Heroic Strike, and Colossus Smash / Execute worked fine for me. I did *not* move the boss at all. Did not touch the eggs. Just attacked in one spot until the guy died. Worked just fine and presume I can complete the quest now.

I'll have to say, I'm very impressed with Blizzard now. I followed the suggestions above and opened a ticket with a GM regarding this quest. Within 5 minutes of opening the ticket, I received an in-game chat from a GM. The GM stated that they realize "The Pit of Scales" quest is broken and asked that I log onto another character. The GM then credited my 83 Priest with the quest so now I can continue the quest line in Uldum. Unless you really want to fight this guy, the best way to proceed, imo, would be opening a ticket.

Commentaire de Hvitur

I highly recommend opening a ticket if you really want the quest done. I tried a few times without realizing there was a bug and I got 1-shot within a few seconds of starting the fight every time. Lay on Hands and my bubble didn't make a difference... I even tried to help another 83 pally and an 85 druid with the fight to no luck. But as soon as I put a ticket in, a GM whispered me probably a minute later, explained there was an invisible crocodile causing problems, marked the quest as completed for me, and even made my character not dead!

Regarding the invisible crocolisk bug, I've found that if you give the eggs about 5-10 years berth, you won't be affected by the bug. Hope this helps.

Commentaire de Sienna78

just finished this lovely bugged quest on my 84 rogue by kiting him around the square, shooting him with my feeble bow 2-3 times in between egg spots. Died several times before this and was getting very frustrated, but after 8 mins or so of kiting and shooting he died. Make sure not to get too close to him OR the eggs as the radius for the blasted crocs are much larger than where the eggs are.

Just kited him around by the river as an 83 ire mage. Blinked when he got too close, kept living bomb up, scorched on the move, fireblast and improved pyroblast whenever they were up. Had to run a couple of aggro'd adds out of their combat zone once, and frost nova to bandage after that. Managed to get him over the eggs 3 or 4 times - I think that was more useful as CC to gain distance on him than it was for damage.

Oh, stayed completely out of the pool. :)

Commentaire de kaillus

You can't use any spells that do AoE damage. I have been trying to do this as a fire mage, and living bomb keeps getting me killed. If you damage the crocs, some invisible ones will kill you.

Just finished this quest on my 84 rogue. I died 3 times before I worked out that once you attack him you need to just keep running and running. Do not stop.

Kit him around the pool (in the pool and around the edges), and direct / run him through the eggs.
It takes a while but the crocks in the eggs will finish him off.

I did not run over any of the eggs myself, I just kept distance from them.

I initially thought the quest was bugged but once i worked out how to do it, no probs.

Commentaire de how3rons

If you, like me, are doing this quest without any luck. I, for instance, died about 20 times doing it. EVERY time, I died by invisible instant death hit and invisible crocs, not because I was unable to kite or anything. You can write a ticket to a GM and he will flag the quest done, because they are familiar with the bug, and are still in process of fixing it.
Problem solved. :) Enjoy your new item!

I've just finished this quest with my DK and a lock. We pulled him into the river after a number of deaths and floated in the river while killing him. Lock used voidwalker pet, I used my ghoul pet and Army of the Dead, didn't get hit once by the invisible crocs and took him out easy.

We did get stuck in combat for a bit afterwards but that vanished after a while.

Commentaire de jasebishop

I completed this battle quite easily with my lvl83 night elf feral druid.

I used faerie fire to draw him out of the pit and on the surrounding pavers where, even though it took some time, he was easy to slay and I wasn't bothered by any crocolisks.

In bear form he hardly even dented my armor, cat form you'll probably need to heel during at some stage.

Commentaire de niffern

As a frost mage i managed to solo this pretty easy. i kite'd him away from all the eggs and keept him snared all the time. i didn't ahve any problems with the crocs at all. and yes i use AoE

Commentaire de 942210

yes in this quest you will have invisi-crocs kill you, but if u can kite him, i would say a fire mage and mabye a hunter best for this quest, but if your a melee class, then its going t be harder, on my pally, what i did was jump in a square shape, and jump (don't stop jumping) this works best for a blood dk or a warr with good healing spells. it may take some time to kill him, but this will kill him. and u may need an 85 there to help kite the invisi crocs if u do die

Commentaire de dizzymanifesto

Possibly fixed as of 4.3.2? If not, I recommend waiting until you're level 85 and have some better gear. It made the fight exponentially easier for me.

Commentaire de Willemsii

Good news for those who needs to do this quest. It isnt bugged anymore. Done it today at february 10th @ 18.25 ST on the Lightbringer server and I didnt get hit by a invincible mob. So, happy killing!

Commentaire de 46820

I just completed this quest on my 85 Blood DK, in ilvl 395 PvP gear. I just stood right in the middle of the pool and got him down, no problem.

Commentaire de solitha

According to the patch notes for 4.3.2, this quest has been fixed.

There haven't been any posts since then, though, so can we get some feedback?

Commentaire de lunawren

Did this quest 2/14/2012 and can confirm it is no longer bugged.

Commentaire de 931086

just ran through this quest as a L85 frost dk,had a hard time with it at lower level but once i got to level 85 i had no problem with it

Commentaire de 458613

Looks like this is indeed no longer bugged.

When I arrived on scene Caimas was already in the pool and I could not interact with Tahet. Also, Caimas did not engage me.

As a lvl 84 Shadow Priest this was ridiculously easy. Just cast a few curses and kite. Refresh curses and kite. Mind Flay and kite. Wait for 3 Shadow Orbs.

Oh, yeah.....and kite.

Caimas folded like a cheap hooker who got hit in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face.

So yeah, it's no longer bugged it would seem.

US-Antonidas server.

Commentaire de antiheroism

Confirming this works as of 2/28/12. If you are a class with a pet, make sure you turn your pet's taunt off first, otherwise he's much harder to kite over the eggs.

Commentaire de brianspenceni

Just wiped this guy out as a l83 feral druid. Pretty straight forward. Insta-cyclone didn't work, but kept rip up, lifebloom and rejuv in bear form with a few berserks and he went belly up fairly routinely. So much easier than my destruction warlock or subtle rogue.

Commentaire de 980539

I like the humor in what began as an extremely frustrating quest. He tried to kill me with crocs & died from tripping over their eggs. My lvl 84 Shaman was repeatedly dying, so I read these comments (thanks, y'all), went back, killed all the surrounding mobs, then stood behind a clutch of purple eggs, and pulled the elite with a lightning bolt. I kited him (hunters would laugh at my clumsiness, but my main is a priest & I've never tried kiting before, unless you count little red hoodie running from the wolf) over the other eggs in the grassy area surrounding the pit. I never hit him again and never needed to heal. He died pretty quickly.

Commentaire de Fluffmeister

This quest completed for me automatically, although I didn't actually do very much! I couldn't talk to Tahet at all, nothing happened. I stupidly clicked on all the eggs and covered in baby crocs and had to jump to get rid of them, then the boss appeared (I couldn't kite him anywhere, he just walked round and round the edge) and set three crocs on me, which I killed, then the boss said he'd "got tired of me" and wandered off. I still couldn't wake Tahet, who was still asleep, but when I checked my quest log it had turned into a ? at a different location, so I guess it's completed it. Weird - still have no idea what actually happened, but it looks like it's done now.

Players no longer encounter any invisible Young Crocolisks

Commentaire de Lieutenant3

Just be careful and lead Ciamas over the eggs and after about 6-7 eggs walked over he will die himself, I only took 10k damage the whole fight and was able to finish him off myself, just go slow and take your time

Commentaire de Lieutenant3

Also, being an arch mage helped alot, if you can gain any sort of distance on him at the end then you have a good shot, good luck!

Commentaire de 992695

Now if you were all smart, youd look at the chat box and find that it says to lure him over the Eggs! i hope this helped you all out a bit. Its much, MUCH!, easier than dying 1000 times trying to kill him.

Commentaire de 1013850

So im doing this on a lvl 83 Demonology Warlock using Felgaurd/Voidwalker as a tank, and whatever strategy i try im always A) killed by Camis, or B) Eaten by a Marsh Serpent/Scalehunter...WHAT DO I DO!

Commentaire de 994802

Use a ranged attack and pull him so that he will walk across the the purple eggs, make sure that you don't walk into them because they will aggro to ya. The eggs are all over, more than enough to kill him. They re-spawn pretty quick too.

Commentaire de redwulf2008

Soloed on a level 83 Shadow Priest. I totally forgot about the whole trick with the eggs, so I just ran up to him and started attacking. Used shield every time it was up, mana potion, Dispersion, and healed occasionally. I killed him with SW:Death just as he was about to kill me (I had 7k health left). Just keep DoT's up and you should be fine.

Quick note here for anyone who abandons this by accident after auto-accepting it. You can pick it up again from Vizier Tanotep at Akhenet Fields. As of 22/5/2024 on Cata Classic, Questie shows an incorrect location for where to obtain this quest.
