Dag, I've killed about ten of the juggernauts already. I use the shiv to wake them up, and then keep on using it to break down their armor.

Once their armor is gone the shiv doesn't work anymore. However, when I used my own DPS to kill the mob, I don't get credit for it.

Comment by 724115

Picked up the quest, used the shiv until it didn't work anymore and killed about 6 in a row with nothing. Mounted up, flew up about 20 yards to come to thottbot to see what I'm doing wrong... when I landed, the next three gave me credit.

As silly as it sounds, if you're having trouble, try to mount up, fly up a bit and give it another go!

Comment by MacKniss

The Juggernauts have stacks you must remove before killing. Use the shiv to wake them up then another 4 times and then dps down. Worked like a charm for me.

Removing the shield with the Shiv worked like a charm.

Comment by 64847

Yes it works! If your not getting it done just fly away and then come back it'll work then.

Comment by 761511

Hunters ... I was able to do this with no problem 3/3 with my pet on passive. I was tho at level 85 so taking hits and doing melee wasn't that bad.

I dropped drop the quest once, and then on the second try, I just meleed it without pet.

Comment by 772457

I had the same problem with the first one. However, noticed that although the box around his name became red (and he started to attack me), everything inside that box was grey'ish. Probably used the shiv 5-6 times on him, nothing changed. Killed him and didn't get a credit. On the next 3 I used the shiv untill name/portrait had "normal battle-colour", and got credit. (sorry if it was badly explained...) Moral is; hold the attack untill name/portrait is not grey anymore.

Comment by xylotism

Hunter trick: Dismiss or put pet on passive, run up to a Juggernaut, use the shiv until their shield buff drops off completely, and run back a bit. Then Feign Death. They'll return to their spawn point, frozen as if still in the shield, except you can DPS them normally. With no shields, they're easy kills.

Comment by 811550

Are the juggernauts supposed to be spawning down the cliff wall? I have absolutely no way of accessing them, and trying to attack the one that had a slight ledge by it resulted in me falling into Felwood so far that I lost 100% of my full HP.

Comment by LeonardNimoy

After doing this quest with an alt months after the expansion, I was having problems. I had killed four or five and did not get credit for any of them. As others had suggested, I left the zone and came back to working mobs. One thing I noticed that differed from the before and after was the mobs that gave credit had a buff called 'Painful Stasis'.

Just double-check and make sure the mobs have that, otherwise you won't be getting credit for it!

Comment by Nimrod

If you're having trouble getting credit:

Start attacking the mob. Shiv once to remove their Painful Stasis and make them attackable. Do NOT Shiv again until you've taken some health off - if you damage the mob with Thisalee's Shiv *first*, you won't get credit for the mob (Its nameplate will go grey, indicating it is tapped by something other than you - the shiv, in this case).

Note: you CANNOT use to bypass their armor. You have to use the knife.

Comment by Elfgar

Skinners ...easy blackened dragonscale

Comment by gratscot

Make sure you use the shiv to get there armor all the way down (5 times). Don't just use it once at try to kill them it will take awhile.

Links

Disassembly

Use Thisalee's Shiv to awaken and kill 3 Twilight Juggernauts. The shiv can be used multiple times to tear down a Juggernaut's armor.

	Twilight Juggernaut slain (3)
	Thisalee's Shiv (Provided) (1)

Description

We have to stop these juggernauts before they're completely encased in armor. Right now they're vulnerable, but only if we pry aside the plates and hack at the marred flesh beneath.

Take my shiv, and jam it between the plates of armored juggernauts to deprive them of their armor.

Once they break from their trance, you're in for a tough fight - keep prying loose that armor and stop those juggernauts!
