Wie auf den englischen Kommentaren von coronaas darauf hingewiesen wurde, kann man die Quest oft nicht abgeben wenn man zu viel Schaden macht.

Also für alle Level 90er Charaktere heißt das, Klamotten ausziehen und Waffen ablegen um den Schaden zu reduzieren und man kann so die Quest absolvieren und auch abgeben.

Reth'hedron der Unterdrücker rennt da rum
am besten ganzes Equip ausziehen, damit nichts procct, sonst tötet ihr ihn aus Versehen
einfach die Seelenkanone, die ihr bekommen habt, immer wieder auf ihn kanalisieren, dabei auf dem Mount bleiben
easy going, der Typ haut ab ca 5% HP ab, Quest fertig

Really easy one. Drain his health down while you are in the air with your flying mount. Avoid meteors/fireballs.
The tactic I used is basicly staying in range, above him, flying around him clockwise while draining his soul. This way you will only take the shadow bolt damage (800ish). If you get cripple on you start going anti clockwise, so you dont run into the fireballs. The fireballs really hurt also dismounts you, and you die. Will take you a while till you suck his soul out, once hes on 1% hes starting to walk to the portal and leaves the place.
If you seem to take too much damage during an attempt you can flee away by just flying far from him.
Fun quest, good luck on it!

Kommentar von 54981

If you have more than 6k health, the shadowbolts alone WONT kill you. They are just there to scare you. However, dont get too close or else he will punch you and that is what can screw you.

Kommentar von Redcrosse

I was having a bit of trouble figuring out how to stay out of melee range while avoiding the fireballs when I noticed a pally in the area. He had the quest as well so we teamed up which made the quest trivial. With two beams he dies twice as quickly and if one person takes a lot of damage, they can fly away, out of combat, and heal up while the other person keeps draining him. I ran off at one point, landed and bandaged while the pally kept killing him. I flew back, helped finish him off and we both got quest credit.

Kommentar von 30667

If you are having trouble doing it solo, i recommend getting Mark of the Wild, Power Word: Fortitude, and Shadow Protection.

These together made him stupidly easy.

Kommentar von Sangre

This quest also rewards 500 Netherwing rep

-Fly to him, but stay far far away while still being able to use the soul cannon. The soul cannon has a range of 60 yards, which should be plenty. The key is to be 60 yards away from him, not 60 yards directly above him. If you are directly above him he will melee you and you will die.

-Activate cannon, dodge his fireballs with your flying mount.

- At no point should you ever get into his melee range, or he will hit you for ~3-6k. If this happens even once you are probably dead. Possibly in mid-air, and requiring a spirit rez. Stay in range of the soul cannon, out of his melee range. Basically just fly around while he follows you. Don't go too far though, or you will lose combat and he will reset. Don't worry about the shadowbolts, they won't kill you unless you get melee'd first.

- Multiple people can get credit for subduing him even if they aren't grouped. I started using my soul cannon on him when someone else already had him down to 50%, and I still got credit for it. I was not grouped with the other person.

>> LONG STORY SHORT <<
Activate cannon from 60 yards away, kite him around with your flying mount, never get into melee range, and avoid fireballs, don't be directly above him or you'll get melee'd.

Kommentar von 55234

A good starting point is somewhere beyond the reach of the regular mobs below (warlocks with imps). you don't really need to fly up and down, just find a comfortable spot where you can see him and not run into a tree/hillside

Activate the Soul Cannon, he doesnt really run after you, he just casts his shadowbolt and fireballs. just face him,
(1) when you see him cast, strafe to the left or the right, just keep strafing in a circle around him,
(2) he will also cast cripple which will slow you down, at which point he will take a few steps towards you. just move backwards or away from him,
and he'll start to cast his spells again. at which point, see point (1)
(3) when he's like 1%, he will start walking towards the stone archway at the end of the stip, just follow behind him he'll eventually go into it and disappear

Kommentar von Seany

If you're a mage who does the tanking duty for high king Maulgar, just chuck all your stam gear on before you do this quest.

Very fun.

Kommentar von P51mus

So far, this quest seems to be more of a fight to try and get him to NOT evade bug than any actual challenge. He's evade bugged on me at least 10 times in a row.

I'll be in range of him, he's tossing fireballs and shadowbolts at me, soul thing is draining his life...BAM evade bug. Again.

It seems like him trying to go over obstacles on the ground can cause him to evade bug, getting slightly too far away for a second can cause him to evade bug, sneezing causes him to evade bug....

Get someone else to attack him too, so that if his attention bugs on one person for some reason, he doesn't reset.

Kommentar von Suhov

He evades like shit... :/
So, make sure you fly in circle around him. I got 6,5k HP and at the end of battle got 2,3k Left.

Kommentar von RobMelendez

Remeber, if you're a warlock, to use your Demon Armor rather than your Fel Armor for that little shadow resist.

Kommentar von Zurr

i found this quest a bit annoying.

if you fly too low you risk getting aggro from the casters,
fly too high you end up getting hit by his melee just to stay in casting range.

Kommentar von 56961

You don't have to actually "beat" this guy. The quest only calls for you to get him to go thru his portal. I found that if u hover over his portal, and wait for him to walk near, then shoot him with the cannon, and start kiting him back, he will eventually step in. Quest Complete! ;-P

Kommentar von 57298

I tried to kite him into the portal, but it didn't work. I did find a nice bug that made this quest even easier. just hide behind the wall of the portal like i did in the pic.

Kommentar von 21672

Easiest way to do this quest after it took me about 4 maybe 5 tries to do it is to wait until hes is close to the portal. Activate the cannon and hide behind the pillar ( i found the right side if your behind the portal to be the easiest one to use) Make sure you have LOS on him or your be subject to his attacks. He will stand there while you drain him and you wont take damage. But you have to make sure LOS is the issue the cannon will still work however

Kommentar von 17335

Confirmed, although i kept myself out of LOS, he was in front of the portal and i hid behind the right pillar, he just kept trying to cast Cripple on me while i slowly drained his life away, but when he got to about 5% or so he started walking along his normal path, so i had to follow him until he got to 1%.
Awesome! :3

Kommentar von Joebob785

All you guys talking about hiding out of line of sight are missing the best part of the quest. If you just continuously strafe in a circle around him the whole time, all the shadowbolts he throws at you will keep following you around. I think I had like 5 or 6 little purple skulls chasing after me at one point (with riding crop), and I found it hilarious. Of course when he cripples you you won't be able to out-fly the bolts, but they don't hurt too bad. Quite funny indeed.

Kommentar von 6531

i guess this is impossible to complete with fight form

Kommentar von 60974

Please elaborate a bit on this technique. either this bug has been fixed, or I am not exactly understanding. i am behind the pillar, still with LOS to have him in the 'beam', however, he has no problem hitting me and targeting me with all his attacks.

(by the way blizzard: was it really needed for an attack to have a knockback effect when you are in the air?)

Kommentar von 7599

I got lucky on this quest. I forgot that I had it, and was just doing "Disrupt the Twighlight Portal" when some alliance group did it. I got credit from quite a long way away.

Kommentar von 60629

well, I had almost given up on this quest, as I do not have coordination to fly around this guy (i kept accidently flying right over him, which = death, or fly too far away, which = he resets his health, while trying to dodge his attacks). as someone mentioned, i tried the trick behind one of the pillars, didn't work for me..he still hit me, except he would knock me back off the cliff, (which, if you fall off the cliff behind the pillar, you WILL have to spirit rez). so I decided I would try one last time...i didn't want to abandon this quest, as I spent quite a bit of gold on the mats for the cannon. here is the thing: in the photos someone posted one that appears they are not flying, but have landed on TOP of the arch way. they are still flying; when the beam is active, your mount has the appearance it has landed.(ie-wings at its sides) took me a bit to figure this out....probably will not for most of you, but it did for me.

so, yeah...start off above the archway, just above it, so you are flying. as soon as he is coming, fly forwards just a bit to put him in range. click the beam, back up so you are directly above the arch way (as in the pic posted) do not land, as landing will break contact with the beam. as soon as you are above the archway, sit back, relax and wait. none of his attacks will hit you (as many have said).

I know most of what I just said has been said, but I thought maybe I could clarify some of it, as I had read and reread everything posted here, and still could not get it to work, just hope this helps someone, because if you got as frustrated as I did at first with this quest, well....yeah..

Kommentar von jrpheonix

ALLY KILLED THIS GUY AND ME (HORDE) Got CREDIT!!

WOOOT

Kommentar von Daego

Better be good on your mount, real lucky or practice alot before you start the attack on this guy. One screw up and your done :(

Took me an hour and half, died a bunch and repair cost got expensive.

Kommentar von 55743

I just wanted to do this quickly so followed the strat from top of portal but died a couple of times. So practiced a couple of different things
What I found was get ur mount in a position to attack him with the soul cannon make it so u can back up over the top of portal so ue still siphoning but he can't see u and walah he ees no more u may hay to follow him in the last bit as he walks away and breaks the summon pick him up and he has no more fight in him walks straight to portal swears he will get u back and gone I sustained no damage whatso ever quest complete
Hope this helpful to u ppl who just want to finish quick

Kommentar von 36866

A little confusing, at first. Tried the "fly around him in circles" method to no avail. Tried the "hang out above the portal" method....again, to no avail. Hit him with the beam when he's right in front of the portal, then fly back through the portal and hide behind the right hand pillar of the portal. Try not to break LOS, and if in the right position, you'll take no damage what-so-ever. I posted a screenshot of my position....worked like a charm once i figured out the correct positioning!

Kommentar von Jakobud

If you look in the screenshot I posted above you will see that I am flying (although it looks like my mount is landed, but in midair) on the RIGHT side of the portal out of Line-of-Sight. I am also very close to the top section of the portal, which allows me to avoid any of the dismounting meteors that fall from the sky.

It is easy. Simply wait for him to path by, zap him with the item, then quickly fly into the same position. Then just sit and wait and you shouldn't take any more damage.

Kommentar von maranzano

you can do this quest naked,so even if you wipe there's no malus of the equip... XD

Anyway, the strategy "fly around / far from him" works better of anyone. if the ray interrupts, don't worry he doesn't regain life.

Kommentar von 69137

Wrong, wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong. It looses some of its effect without the music in the background or being sung to tune. The little bugs and tricks you folks are flaunting as the easy way to do it. Dont work. Ok follow along with me, they dont work.

Kommentar von Mairin

Did they hotfix this or something? Did it a couple of weeks ago as my hunter, LOS'd him behind a pillar no problem at all. Tried it just now on my priest and his dismounting meteors are crazy now and appear to totally ignore LOS as long as you're mounted, dismount you and blast you back wards off the cliff/into the ogre pat or forwards into the shadow guys or him.

edit.

nvm I got it after another try but it seems you have to be MUCH more precise now than last time I did it.

Kommentar von holmcross

I went behind the Portal as the screen shot suggested, and he simply chain casted cripple which never hit me. He did not go into Evade, and he didn't advance on me and attack. Easy as pie.

Kommentar von Malfious

Just fly around him using the strafe keys. Died once due to me going too close to him, nearly died second time because of fireball knocking me off my mount, but used feign death. Like previous posts say, avoid his fireballs if you have crippe on by flying the opposite way

Kommentar von 82238

With the strafing strategy is concerned i get the problem, that he is hitting me even though I'm way above his head. Dodging his fireballs, is one thing, i can manage that, but i can't dodge his crunching damage. I assume, though, that this some sort of bug, as no one else here have mentioned it.

Kommentar von 84464

If you die in mid-air and have to spirit res, it is best to wait for the resurrection sickness to wear off as it affects the damage of the Soul Cannon, bringing him down to only around 75%.

Kommentar von smoo

Wait for him to come close to the portal. Start channeling, land on the portal (most possible distance to him), channel and wait. Repeat.

Kommentar von 47175

The hard part I found with this quest was his crippling debuff. The slowed movement I can cope with but the -50% stamina is a real bitch as when the debuff wears off your max hp goes back to whatever it was but your current hp stays the same.

After 2-3 cripple attacks I was down to like 10-15% hp and had to fly away to eat. In the end I accomplished the mission by using the portal to get out of LoS as a number of people have suggested, it worked first time (hovering just above the portal) so I'd advise giving that a shot if you are having problems :)

Kommentar von 87662

the hiding behind the pillar/gateway does not work anymore i believe,i tried it several times in several different spots including the one in the picture.

Kommentar von 13465

na it is still working, try and see :)

Kommentar von 65452

The soul cannon is not usable in flight forms.

Kommentar von 57421

I am not sure how this worked out, but there was a Horde already killing the Subduer guy, and when he died I got credit. I didn't land or do anything at all!! Very easy quest *giggle*

Kommentar von 104481

You don't have to fly around to avoid anything. Stand on top of the portal at 8, 43 and nothing will hit you there!

Kommentar von 107527

See screenshot. very easy to do without getting hit once. just wait on portal til he shows. then get close enough to zap him with cannon and move toward either pillar and stay behind it. He will never touch you once and you can stay there til quest is complete.

Kommentar von 40722

The above methods are unnecessary. Since I couldn't figure out how to bug it i had to figure how to do it legit.

Here's the trick
The pillar (obelisk) stones with 4 mobs channeling some spell around them, kite him to one of them. In order for him to get to you, he has to go around the stones. So what i did was just kite him (in circles) around those stones. It keeps him out of melee range, and when i was crippled it bought me enough time to move out the way.

Hopefully that helps.

Kommentar von adashiel

The first time I did this one, which was shortly after 2.1, it was by teaming up with another player. We weren't in the same group or even the same faction, but as mentioned above, we both got a complete when Reth'hedron went through the portal. Neither of us used any tricks. We just flew around and zapped him.

I did this on a second character today, but there was nobody to team up with this time. So, I decided to try hiding behind the portal. It worked, but not exactly as I planned. I was a little slow getting behind the pillar (and I went to the left side), and was actually dismounted. However, instead of falling to the ground, I sorta stuck to the side of the portal, hanging seemingly in mid-air. It looked like I was stuck to flypaper. My cannon continued firing, however, and the quest completed without me taking any damage. I was even able to mount up from that spot. It was pure luck, and I doubt I'd be able to reproduce it if I had a thousand shots at it.

Kommentar von Xythros

LOL confirmed just fly behind the right pillar.. That was easy :D

Kommentar von thycondrius

LOL works fine, this tactis is very good :)

Kommentar von azek

This quest is a breeze if you have the 310% speed mount with the 10% trinket :|
Wow... If you happen to have those, just fly above him (but not straight above) in an anti-clockwork motion. That's it.

Kommentar von Lopen2

VERY buggy try not to get him by any thing stay in the open

Kommentar von Desecration

Just flew round him (just over his head height) about 20 yards to the side of him, when he does cripple, just change your direction. Did this until 1% when I unluckily got hit by a fireball and got dismounted. I kept the beam up (frost nova'd all the mobs) then I had to take a health pot and a fel blossom to absorb some damage , he walks over to the portal and bam done. Easily done, I just messed up at the end so the last part shouldn't apply to you, but do be aware that if you get dismouted towards the end, the mobs on the ground (the non-elite anyway) don't hit very hard and if you can keep yourself alive for an extra 10 seconds then you don't need to redo the whole thing. Took me a few tries to get it right (got hit by him the first 2) but after reading about staying out to the side of him it was an easy quest to do.

Kommentar von 131487

I have a much easier way of killing him.

All you need to do is flying near him, use the Soul Cannon thing. Once you start, go to the gate where there Orc's all around it. Stay on your mount though. Just fly behind the gates pillar. Basically, get out of his los.

And sit and wait til he's close to dead. And boom, quest complete. :)

Kommentar von 89649

I take it back I had to use my slow mount so he wouldn't disappear but at the end when he hit 2% he started to walk away and i was about two secs from writing the nastiest ticket to a gm but didn't reset so i just put it back on him just in case all he did was walked back to gate and disappeared and completed

Kommentar von zeophian

I'd highly recommend bringing some SR gear with you. As a priest i had my own SR buff and had my cloak and Illidarian neckpiece. But you could use anything with SR. It usually has stam too so it works well.

With 175 i only lost a total of about 3k health and resisted all but 1 cripple. That was right near the end anyway when he was about 5%.

Kommentar von 139533

Died a few times trying, but then went behind the right pillar and had him down without taking any damage at all. Uploaded a screenshot of my location.

Kommentar von 4545

Did this with the "behind the pillar" suggestion.... 100% works! Done first try :P

Kommentar von 35757

Confirming the LoS trick still works; was a bit confused by the descriptions of how to do it (partly because I didn't believe it could be that easy after the other posts about dodging and what attacks he uses!), but decided to give it a go.

Used the soul cannon on him as he was approaching the portal, then just flew through it and hid the other side. And that's absolutely all you need to do! The cannon is a channelled attack; not something you keep having to fire, so you really do just use the cannon, fly through the portal, hide behind the pillars and watch as his health ticks down!

Don't panic if you see him start to cast something; he kept trying to cast cripple on me, but kept failing because of the LoS issue. Fun, easy quest!

Kommentar von eskilajnen

I can confirm that "Hang above the portal" trick still works, made the quest extremely easy.

Kommentar von Moonshadow101

One thing: Getting off your mount doesn't necessarily end the fight, especially if you do it at the end when he begins his march towards the door.

Kommentar von PocketFox

Confirmed on 7/03/08 that the "LoS behind a pillar" trick still works. Was even easier this time than the last time I did this quest and used the top of the portal to break LoS.

Kommentar von 104322

I confirmed that the Ray damage gets weaker if you have Res Sickness, from 2008+ Damage to 500+ damage.

Kommentar von Zvezda

Flawless Victory! His spell casting looks pretty but that's about it when you're behind the pillar like everyone's mentioned. Excellent strategy!

Kommentar von 18707

Holy paladin. I started out by the gate, got knocked off my mount, but just stood by the thing and healed through his damage. The channeling finished and the quest completed.

Kommentar von 150957

Lol funny thing. I had the enchant Deathfrost on both my main and offhand weapons when i did this quest. As the beam was channeling, the Deathfrost kept proccing every 10 seconds or so, usually refreshing itself.
I dont know if it actually slowed his meteor casting but it did his banish which was nice.

Kommentar von 186500

I just did the quest today, and it seems that he no longer casts any meteors, just cripple and shadowbolt. I did not do any of the tricks just kinda circled around him channeling, he hit me with every shadowbolt and cripple, but with 11k health I easily survived the fight.

Kommentar von Asthmatic

Soloable.. did it as a mage today, that was pretty easy, i was prepared
used some shadow resistance gear (about 150 shadow resistance)
and ofc, epic flying
+ http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=33944
+ http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=12606

Meteors are very easy to avoid, simply fly around him in a circle

Cripple debuff ( -50% health ) can be easily avoided by fly out - fly in.
To avoid debuff use this:
When he casts it just fly away from his cripple range to prevent the debuff
Life drain will stop, but hes health wont reset, just be quick to fly back and reactivate draining gun
Use this simple macro:
/target Reth'hedron
/cast Soul Cannon

Good luck!

Kommentar von 132568

Just soloed very easy, grab him with the soul canon and then fly behind one of the pillars of the portal, i just hovered on the spot and he didnt move, jsut kept trying to cast cripple. No fireballs or anything. I uploaded a picture of the position i was in. Goodluck.

Kommentar von 76447

Shadow Blots hit me alot, any way to avoid them?

Kommentar von Arovei

Holy pallie, after getting knocked off into mobs I got annoyed and just landed and healed thru his damage, not to hard, only got me to about 85% mana from just FoL'ing myself.

Kommentar von Ejde

Just did this quest for the first time today on my frost mage.

1. You cannot get the soul cannon to tag him from behind the portal, you need to be about 10 feet in front of it.

2. If you get dismounted trying to get yourself behind the pillar and he gets within your melee range, you are pooped.

3. Just moving back once you've tagged him so that you are hovering over the middle of the top of the portal puts you out of LOS...I just moved about using my Q and E keys just in case of stray fireballs.

4. Voila! One subdued bad guy!

Kommentar von Allara

I actually found it much easier to simply strafe left and right repeatedly, dodging the fireballs as necessary. I also zoomed my camera out all the way, which helped a great deal. The various LoS tricks above didn't work for me, but it wasn't too hard the "old fashioned" way. I found that flying in circles was needlessly complex and ended up distracting me too much.

Kommentar von gamestar10

Completed first try.

Pretty simple quest as long as you keep moving. Just like all the other posts mention, hit him with the cannon and circle him. The fireballs that fall from the sky are few and easy to dodge. He will cast a spell on you to slow you down but it fades quickly. I did not use any LoS tricks, just circled. If you get out of range, the cannon goes on cool down but you will be able to reengage it.

As for the shadow bolts he casts, I had just gotten the Skybreaker Whip which is a quest reward for doing the sky races for Netherwing rep (Riding Crop equivilant). My point is, as I was circling the bolts couldn't catch me. At one time I had 3 shadowbolts chasing me in this circle.

Instinct will help you decide which way to circle and when to change so don't sweat it. Good Luck!

Kommentar von bvlax2005

You can still cast spells while you channel the soul cannon. So if you are a healer like me and get knocked off your mount, you can pretty much "tank" him while you do the quest.

Kommentar von irspud

Well the tricks dont work as good anymore. I did this quest on my 2 other toons and I set on top of the portal near the back and it worked fine. Since the Lich King came on it isnt as nice now. The cannon doesn't last as long as it did before. It only takes out about one quarter of his health. But the sitting on top of the portal or behind the right pillar is a thing of the past. Now the fireballs come over the top at you and it goes through the pillar. Plus he is a lvl 73 now and before he was a lvl 70. I think that a group is going to be necessary to keep him tied up enough to lower his health. If anyone has any kind of success with this guy by soloing I will be back to read and try it. But when you do get straight to the point about where to sit or how to lower his health. No Bull S, please.

Kommentar von Aeira

The shadow bolts can be annoying, especially in cloth or even mail. Fly around him in circles and start ducking and weaving if crippled to avoid fireballs. Start the quest away from any of the group mobs, in case you fly too low to avoid something and end up getting aggro on a bunch of acolytes.

Hiding behind the right portal pillar still works, though a fireball may dismount you when you are back there. The quest still works though, if you are behind the pillar and dismounted. I had to use the cannon a few times to get him all the way to 1%, but as long as you stay behind the pillar he can't hurt you.

Kommentar von 285502

That was super easy.

All i did was went up to him and started using the Soul Cannon, then I flew behind the right pillar on the portal and he just stood there on the other side XD

haha I received no damage at all this way. =]

He dident cast anything.^^(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Went in a clock wise motion and keep going till his health was down to 1 :D

Kommentar von AshamanX

This quest occurs in Nagrand, anyone know if it counts towards the Nagrand Slam achievement?

Kommentar von forbjok

Solo'd it as 73 hunter.
Just flew near him and used the Soul Cannon.
Not even necessary to do anything, as his fireballs barely do any damage at all.

Kommentar von 360696

the quest rewards are so redundant, did blizzard really think that anyone would use a green item after grinding a epic flying mount and all the way to honored with netherwing and not have at least full blues?

Kommentar von 358164

Dont know if it is an error or something, but once I get far enough to avoid his spells, he resets his HP. Also his shadow bolts hit me for about 800, and his life drops quite slow with the Soul Cannon (441 damage per tick, on 151k HP). Did it using the "behind the portal trick", but it would have been totally impossible without it.

Kommentar von arcanalor

Just to note... if you're a level 80 tank-specced class, it IS possible to do this quest from the ground.

Simply go about fighting him like normal, taking precautions against his nasty Cripple attack (-50% Stamina) and once he's in critical range, you can simply activate the Soul Cannon and he'll run like a little girl. I'm not sure if you can actually kill him or if you have to activate the Soul Cannon. Just to be safe, I activated the cannon once he was below 10% health and got a Quest Complete once he fled.

As a Paladin, he didn't hit too hard and what damage I did take was easily mitigated by use of Shadow Resist Aura and Seal of Light. This was in rather poor Prot gear, so YMMV.

Kommentar von 342582

As a lvl 80 druid, I simply flew a couple of yards directly above him and started the cannon, he threw 3 cripples on me, one of them hit. I basically remained in the same position until he went back into the portal, making this quest extremely simple.

Kommentar von annonn2

Did this quest as an 80 shadow priest. Didn't read the quest and just attacked him on the ground and used the cannon on him when he was on 1% and wouldn't die. Very easy to complete even this way for 80 characters.

Kommentar von 271275

Just remember to follow him to the portal, otherwise it won't count.

Kommentar von Behelich

Just did it w\ a 75 warlock, who has never been to Northrend, except 1 instance per day. Just fly around him and stay in range so as not to reset him and you'll be fine.

Kommentar von Fetzie

really easy as a level 80, all his spells miss you, and 151k is nothing anymore :) I dps'ed him to about 20%, then used the cannon and followed him to the portal. You will probably need to kill the mobs around the portal to get out of combat.

Kommentar von Norumu

As a professional level 85 Death Knight, I do suggest doing this the intended way with the cannon and flying around. Using your straight battle prowess WILL kill the guy, and that's just no good.

Unless of course, you're cautious and get most of his health down before cannoning.

Kommentar von gryldrak

As a level 85 druid tank I just sat in Worgen form (caster) and used the cannon on him from 100-0. At the end he just walked away. :P

prolly worth noting, although you can 2 shot this mob at 85, you do actually need to use the cannon (channeled but you can still attack) and let him rp back to the portal, on the plus side its only about a 30-45 sec respawn.

Kommentar von Diadom

I just got this quest after doing Disrupting the Twilight PortalSchwächt das Portal des Zwielichts.

So fly from the East side of Shadowmoon Valley to the West side of Nagrand to do Disrupting the Twilight Portal Schwächt das Portal des Zwielichts then back to the East side of Shadowmoon Valley to turn it in. Then get Subdue the SubduerUnterdrückt den Unterdrücker and have to go all the way back to Nagand and back again? C'mon Blizz...How about a pop up when Disrupting the Twilight Portal Schwächt das Portal des Zwielichts is complete at least.

Kommentar von omahamatt

I need to read quests more, killed him the first time, luckily he respawns fast lol

Kommentar von Lyariana

Im a 90 Frost Mage and this was really hard to do without killing him.. multiple times. In the end, I found him at full health, used the cannon straight away and then flew behind one of the pillars of the portal. He then decided not to die and run back into the portal - yay!

Kommentar von WokkaD

The easiest way to do this one is to be almost above him, and move up and down.
By moving up & down, his shots miss you.

Killing him is a mistake. You're trying to subdue him, not kill him.
Staying still is also a mistake. His shots will hit and kill you before you subdue him.

Kommentar von Healsbilly

Take off your legendary cape first. -_-

Kommentar von coronaas

i was having problems with the gun killing him in three hits at level 90, but I was able to complete the quest after all.

After removing my armor and weapons I was able to lower him below 10%hp and then trigger the gun to complete the quest.

Hope this helps in a post 6.0 world

Kommentar von Maievor

above level 90 there is only one way: Wiederbelebungsnachwirkungen Resurrection Sickness!

Kommentar von Vullumenj

Does anyone know how to stop the gun? i am having a hard time to complete this as a lvl 90...

Kommentar von Vullumenj

As a lvl 90 DK (ilvl 533) this might seem like an impossible task, and you might be right, because it is impossible to do it if you don't know how to. I for an instance tried and failed for 5 hours total. i used every trick in the book, i were dissapointed, even mad at myself for waisting so much time, when i could have done better things, like raiding, or doing other quests. but then it hit me, what if i fly up high, drop all my gear into my bags, then dissmount. everything going good in my new plan. so far... when i were falling down, i realised i had forgot one verry important thing, and that was to ready my gun, so in full desperation, i looked through my bags, found it finally, then just before i were supposed to hit the gun, i dragged it out of my bags and released in the open field, pressed enter and there i laid, my character were dead on the ground, and i had just deleted the gun and the quest allong with it. and that was how i failed the quest. so i just flew back to netherwing in darkmoon valley. got the quest again, flew back to Nagrand. i did the same thing, flew up high, bagged all my gear, but this time i made sure i had the gun on my action bar before i dissmounted. when it came to the point, i rethinked everything, i had rez sicknes. i were at 3,5k hp, so i figured out another plan, i flew back down to the point just above him, started channeling, and then, i sat there watching, hopefully, and in the verry end, he stopped casting at me, and started flee back to the portal, and i were so happy, i couldn't belive it was that easy to do it. and thats it, i hope you liked it, and give it thumbs up if you feel like it. :D peace out :D

Kommentar von 1389568

As of patch 6.0.2 you cant do this quest traditionally as you do to much damage. I had to die, take rez sickness and then do the quest for it to work.

Kommentar von bulljoker

just like everyone said, remove gear,get ressurection sickness. after that i just used quest item, target got on 1hp and walking into Portal,quest complete

Kommentar von jaymoney

For level 90s:

1. First thing you will want to know is it does pop up on screen when this quest is completed.

2. Take off all your gear and get resurrection sickness.

3. Cancel the channel of the Soul Cannon by pressing escape when Reth' Hedron is at 1% health (really small sliver of health).

4. Allow him to walk away into the portal

Kommentar von lotrcolumbia

OK, here you go. This is how I did it after many tries.

Most important!
Make sure that you take off ALL OF YOUR GEAR!
Make sure you have Res Sickness

Now, use the cannon to bring his life down to about 15 to 20%. Then just slap him to below 10%. Once below 10% he will hit 1 hit point and walk to the center of the area and then walk to the portal. You can be in a party but only 1 person do this if you are level 90.

Kommentar von EmmyPup

If another person is doing this, you can hit Reth'hedron as he's fleeing to gain credit for the quest.

Kommentar von vapocalypse

If you're doing this as a high level, get rez sickness and remove all your gear. Even then you can kill him, so hit ESC as soon as his health reaches 5% or less, so he gives up and goes through the portal. I'm lvl 82 and killed him a few times.

Kommentar von 1415332

I tried to subdue him when I was lvl 92, but ended up almost instantly killing him. The quest didn't finish. help please?

Kommentar von Aquissya

If you're doing this at level 100 like I am, take off all your gear, die, and get res sickness. Then do it.

Kommentar von JesiMcCoy

As a collection of some of the best comments I saw, and through trial and error, here is my take on the easiest way to complete this quest.

I had the toughest time getting this quest completed because the beam would just kill him. I would spot him out, target him, and use the cannon. It seemed like no matter what I did, this guy would just die and I could never get the quest compLeted....UNTIL NOW!

If you're a high level toon (I'm at lvl 100) your first step is to strip. I unequipped all gear, trinkets, rings, weapons etc.

Step 2: Melee hit him. Yes, I'm aware that even in the quest it states to do this on your mount, but it is not necessary. I just punched him until he was down to about 10%.

Step 3: Use the soul canon.

I never incurred any damage whatsoever. I saw no attempts at him hitting me with melee attacks, nor did I see any fireballs. I didn't need my mount, and nor did I have to hide behind the pillar. It was really just this simple.

Kommentar von DrCrick

I'm trying to do this quest on Lvl 87 and i deal like 47k dmg, he dies and i can never complete the Quest... :(

Any ideas?

Thanks

Kommentar von 725495

Having trouble completing this quest? A guild member was having trouble with this quest as well. She was level 100. Here is what she did.
She took all her items off. Waited for him to approach the portal. When she was on her flying mount she use the quest item the "cannon" and ran away to break the link and he started to walk in the portal and quest complete. It took her four tries but finally done.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von Terlon

For level 100 , just unwear all of ur items , if you want to dps him down to 5-10% hp just wear your weapon , then when he is finally reached down to 5% , go behind the portal and cast the item , he will flee away , cancel your item and wait till he reaches again the portal =D

Kommentar von 1482266

my problem is that im doing so much damage with the soul cannon that i kill him before the game can trigger the next event in the fight.

Kommentar von thinksammich

Seems this item still retains its power after the Stat squish that came with Pandaria. If you want to complete the quest at level 100 you should try turning away from the mob after the damage from the rod ticks twice, or you can take the res sickness + get naked route if you prefer.

Personally I fancy the idea of a naked gnome whipping an Illidari Lord into submission.

Kommentar von woutervd

i had to kill myself to get the 75% debuff and unequip all my gear to slow the killing rate to complete this quest. I'm lvl 83 hunter, it is that easy to do this quest.

Kommentar von Simonmon

Wait a minute… After camping a vendor for a week waiting for a Khorium Power Core to spawn so I can make this cannon, you're taking it away from me?@#$

Kommentar von 353444

As far as I can tell the event has been fixed. As long as you kill him with the Seelenkanone there should be no problem. My combat log says overkill on the last hit but he stayed on 1 health and completed the event.

Kommentar von cUnAzeroth

As some have mentioned, the quest states "you must stay on your mount," but it is NOT necessary. In fact, if you are too high a level it is almost impossible to use just the Seelenkanone while on your flying mount to complete the quest.

I was only able to complete this with my lvl 85 dwarf warrior after stripping naked, falling to my death (to get rez sickness), and equipping a very low DPS melee weapon in one hand. (I keep a basic dagger on hand for these types of "rez sickness" quests. Why Blizzard are there so many of these "lower-their-health-but-don't-kill-them" type of quest in this game?)

Because I was NOT on a mount I could aggro Reth'hedron der Unterdrücker while running to the portal so that he would follow me. Once there I brought down his health and then finally used the Seelenkanone. It did take a few seconds but he then eventually walked through the portal and my quest did complete.

Happy Hunting.

Kommentar von ForestNymph

EASY TO DO AS LVL 100. Portal in Western Nagrand (Outland) is located at 8.3 44.3. Fly there and land on top of the portal. You do NOT have to be mounted no matter what you may have read. Undress completely...all clothing, jewelry, weapons, etc. Stand on the edge at the top of the portal and wait for Reth'hedron the Subduer to walk by. Target him with the soul cannon. He will try to run away but will then give up and come back to the portal. He should go on through without you having to do anything else except to get dressed again and go turn in the quest. Easy-peasy! (And I'm *extremely* 'gaming-challenged'.)

Kommentar von BadArea52

my 1st attempt, the channeling killed him too fast, and my 2nd attempt with no gear still did the same. I had to take my gear off, kill myself, and accept res sickness.

Kommentar von Zonark

Being at Patch 6.2.3 at the time of writing, and hitting very hard on these old mobs, I kept one-shotting him by mistake and not getting completion on the quest.

Even after reading the comments on here and a lot of trial and error with trying different things suggested, I still couldn't keep him alive long enough to trigger the quest/event of him walking to the portal.
Meleed to 10% and then cannon, insta kill....
Meleed to 15% and then cannon, still insta kill....

After a few tries, i decided to test how much dmg a single cannon tick would do to him, because he has to survive at least one and then start walking to the portal.

From that single first tick he was down to 52% - and this meant another tick should take him to 4%. So that's what i did.
Two ticks of cannon @ stripped down naked and lvl 100, and then he started walking to the portal. I got credit and quest completed.

I did not need to keep firing the cannon after he started walking into the portal, so there should be no need to time it exactly right for him to walk past the portal or anything like that. Just make sure cannon is the dmg that takes him below his (perhaps) 10% threshold, and he starts walking.

Kommentar von FullElven

Literally everything I've seen says 'just get naked and punch him down, then use the cannon.' It's not worked for me for the past twenty minutes of trying this. He just dies anyway. This time I camped his spawn point, on my mount, and said the heck with it. Just fired the cannon right off the bat and let it drain him. This time, it worked! So if you can't get it to work at level 100 the way everyone else says, just stay without any gear or buffs, camp his spawn point, and use the cannon there.

Kommentar von Deadfolx

As a level 100 hunter I had to get res sickness, take off all of my gear, and change out my "Lonewolf" talent in order to subdue him without killing him. Hope this helps.

Kommentar von xurs

I did this way overleveled. I had a problem where two hits from the soul cannon weren't enough to get him fleeing, but the third one killed him. Gear didn't seem to affect damage at all, so after at least a dozen tries I got a friend to hit him couple of times. Can't understate my relief, and the earlier frustration. Easily the most annoying WoW quest I've done.

I guess leveling myself further so that two hits would've gotten him fleeing would've been an option, but meh. Kind of poorly designed quest in this regard.

Kommentar von Zizowarr

>>>>> AS OF LEGION: <<<<<

You have to deal less than 50% on each tick from the soul cannon. The only way to do that is to REMOVE ALL YOUR GEAR and it should work.

For later expansions this needs to be changed or it will be impossible unless you have RESS SICKNESS.

Kommentar von Athlantus

Guys, for all 110 lvl (Legion players), I tried to take off ALL of my equippement, even rings, trinket, etc..., I even tried resurection sickness, didn't work either.

SOLUTION: (even if the quest tells you to stay mounted), get on the ground and punch him until 10%. Then you can lunch the spell given in the quest (Soul canon) to complete the quest.

Kommentar von LucyNorgana

Done on 7.1.5, here is exactly what I did:
1) Take off all your equipment
2) Fly high, fell down and get ressurection sickness
3) Channel the cannon on Reth'hedron the Subduer (still naked with ressurection sickness)
4) He'll go to the portal on 1%, follow him and you'll get quest credit (canon was still channeling but it turned off after getting the quest credit)

Edit: I was mounted.

Kommentar von vixip

I did this quest today (27.3.2017). I took all my gear off.
I did not try to get the ressurection sickness.
I began channeling the Soul Cannon.
Reth'hedron the Subduer took two ticks of damage.
After reaching 1 life remaining, he started to walk towards the portal. The damage still ticking, but he did not take any.
Upon his arrival the to portal, I got the quest credit.
The beam stopped.

I was not mounted.
I am NElf Druid. Level 110.

Hope this helps.

: phrasing

Kommentar von StriderRyu

I'm a 77 subtlety rogue. Hitting him with the cannon straight off kills him pretty quickly but gives no credit. I had to get naked, melee him with fists from the ground and then when he was down to almost no health, I hit him with the cannon. He started walking towards the portal at the West end. I followed him and the cannon was active the entire time. He shouted about "merely a setback!" or some nonsense, then disappeared once standing in the portal. At that point I got credit and put my clothes back on.

Kommentar von Karasume

How to do this at level 110. patch 7.2.5.

Step 1:take off all your gear.
step 2: Kill yourself and take the Resurrection sickness Debuff.
step 3: fly to the NPC
step 4: use the ray to get him down to low health.
step 5: when he is at low health use escape or fly out of range to break the ray.
step 6: turn in quest.

Hope this helps =)

Kommentar von jusdabest

As of 7.2 if you are level 110, being naked is a must. I killed him with the cannon right away without stripping. After I stripped, it took 2 clicks to get his health down far enough so he would go in the portal.

Kommentar von Ambisextrous

As of 7.2.5 this was still able to be done. Used res sickness and removed my artifact. Channeled the gun until he was 7% and then hit esc.

Kommentar von Elynaee

Since most of the advice is so incredibly vague, I had to figure this out myself. And if you're like me, and the "just take off your gear and use your cannon on him, worked for me xD" advice didn't work for you, then you're going to have to find your own way. But what you need to know is basically this:

1. You need to start by getting him to under 10% health without killing him. Do this either by getting rez sickness and taking off all your equipment or get help from a lower level friend.
2. Once he is under 10%, THEN you can use your cannon

So yes, just taking off your equipment and using the cannon might work, if the cannon happens to get him to under 10% before it kills him, which it didn't for me.

So just try out a couple of different things, like a combination of rez sickness and some of your equipment, no rez sickness, and some equipment, maybe some low-level equipment, etc. Whatever you think of, and you'll get it eventually.

Kommentar von wadeh123

Level 110 mage here. What i had to do is get naked and res sickness then i had to bring him to around 20%-23%. Then use the cannon to bring him down below 10% without killing him. when used the cannon at 21% it dropped him to 8%. hope this helps someone cause i spent the last 2 nights trying different stuff and talking with gms.

Kommentar von Shebha

For those struggling with this quest I was 101 and tried everything that was stated in previous comments but to no avail so after all my gear was off I jumped off a cliff and rezed at the grave giving myself rez sickness with that I was able to auto attack him until he reached 10% then use the canon and it worked. Hope this helps you out.

Kommentar von Beace

If you accidentally kill him due to being high lvl, he's got almost instant respawn timer.

Also, the Soft Foam Sword toy does not work on him. Maybe because he's elite.

Kommentar von Malachi68

What I did as a level 110 warlock was simply to remove all equipment and equip my fishing pole and turn on auto attack. Each attack did about 400 - 600 damage, or about 1% per hit. I just sat back and waited about five minutes.

I followed some other people's suggestion about turning away from Reth, then I used the Soul Canon when Reth'hedron was at 9%. I hit escape at 1% and the guy walked away into the portal. The quest was complete...

I'm sure a slightly better weapon would have made the encounter go faster but I didn't want to chance it. But no death and rez sickness is required.

Kommentar von roxyvixen

Just did this on my 930 ilvl mage. I stripped naked, cast Nether Tempest and then immediately used the quest item. Worked like a charm!

Kommentar von zap24

there is absolutely no need to strip naked or do rez sickness

did this on my 110 ilvl930 warr (removed my artifact just in case)

it's all there in the quest text:

just stay up in the air on your flying mount and start channeling the soul cannon. he will fire some stuff at you that will knock you back so just make sure you stay in range. orbit around him for the duration and refresh the channel each time the casting ends.
at 2HP he will yell something, go to the portal, follow him to the portal, watch him ho inside and voila quest complete

Kommentar von Ghost10006

Just a heads-up for anybody doing this at max level, the quest item can proc Netherlight crucible traits when used, causing him to instantly die. I highly recommend unequipping your artifact weapon before trying to subdue him.

Update: With the Netherlight Crucible becoming obsolete with the end of Legion, the above information is no longer relevant.

Kommentar von Poeka

No need for any stripping etc. Just use the cannon multiple times, it takes a few minutes, but it works !

Kommentar von Snayls

The objective of the quest is not to just zap him, but to get him low enough to trigger quest completion.

Try using Weiches Schaumstoffschwert and then zapping him with the item you get.

Kommentar von Vizyful

Having a really hard time with this quest as an Undead, my racial Touch of the Grave does proc off the quest item's channel and will one shot the mob.

Kommentar von danegeld

as of patch 8.0.1 i did it as a 110 druid with good gear...just hit the quest item three times and waited...i imagine had i thought of it my foam sword would have also had worked

anyway 3x works just be patient as it slowly drains the life

Kommentar von Morvren

As a 120 mage I stripped, got res sickness, remembered I could fly, then hit him with Ice Lance until he got to about 2%. He then walked into the Portal and the quest was done. Thanks everyone for the tips!

Kommentar von Beace

The quest item will proc random attacks you might have from azerite gear or essences. In theory you could remove neck and azerite gear and channel the quest item for several minutes. However, getting naked and suiciding for res sickness is still gonna be the faster and easier option.

Kommentar von Stealthgyro

If you're like me and spoiled by quest locations and you just want the answer.

/way Nagrand:Outland 10.6, 41.4 Reth'hedron the Subduer

Macro which can be used while flying.
/target Reth'hedron the Subduer
/use Soul Cannon

He's huge so you shouldn't able to miss him, but you can always add a custom mob to SilverDragon or rare scanner. 22357

As long as there are no griefers killing him you should be good. I basically held forward and pitch up constantly doing a backflip, he eventually retreated.

Kommentar von Arsenic

120 Demon Hunter. No need to fly, strip naked and target him. Use disrupt, it puts him at about 50% then use soul cannon. If will lower his health. He will start to run, just got with him, it will continue to drain if you stay near him.

Kommentar von Sl4y

The npc that u have to subdue(Reth'hedron the Subduer) is at Twilight Ridge, Nagrand(Outland)

Just unequip your items that procs random damage like Hearth of Azeroth and use the quest item to it. You can move while the quest item channeling. Just cast that quest item while he dies and quest will be done after little dialogue.

Kommentar von Edwardsaw

The easiest way to do this quest in 9.0.1 (and future expansions), and this is applicable for any old content where you do not want to one-hit mobs, is:

- Get resurrection sickness
- Strip yourself down

You should be able to gradually damage low level mobs, including Reth'hedron, without accidently one-hitting them to get quest credit

Kommentar von Kiasta

For Patch 9.0.2

I was very confused about this quest because it seemed to not be working for me at all (meaning he wasn't escaping like he should be). What I had to do to complete this quest was to first unequip all equipment (even though people suggest to get res sickness, I didn't have to) and you will have to use the cannon more than once! I didn't know this so I thought it was broken. Also once he starts moving away to leave he doesn't get killed by reflect damage. He just drops to 1% and then he goes through the gate. I can't say for sure if this happens before, so be wary of his health.

Kommentar von Dragovich

At current lvl 60, if you strip down and get res sickness you deal about 15% of his hp as dmg - so you can safely dps him down real low and finish with the cannon, preferably with other players. Doable with oppposite fraction as well, just gotta somehow show them what is your plan :D

Kommentar von Kheffe

(Shadowlands) I’ve just completed the quest with no issue at all. Didn’t remove gear nor had resurrection sickness on. I simply targeted him with the canon, each tick made 255 damage. As soon as he gets to 10% he becomes unkillable, just wait for him to walk to the portal and your quest will be completed.

Kommentar von Ysosrslawl

Looks like the damage of the item has been fixed however, procs from gear can still kill the mob. I was channeling with two other Horde players around and it kept dying despite only doing 250 a tick. Swapped to war mode and with no one around the item still only did 250 a tick. Made sure I was naked just in case. Absolutely zero issues. As soon as he got around 10% hp he ran to the portal, did the RP and I got credit.

Thanks to all the commenters who said to try it naked.

Kommentar von nazokage

For those trying to complete this Quest in Shadowlands ie 2020/2021 i stripped down completely all armor and weapons then what i did was use the cannon part of the way till he got to around 35% hp then i reset the cannon and was able to capture him

Kommentar von MapleSyrup

Mob is around 9.45, 41.41, just sit on a flying mount and use the soul cannon a few times.

Kommentar von amalek137

just start the cast at 100% health, drain it all the way down and watch him walk away. the rest is bull#$%^. what good is esc if keybind isn't set. you don't need to remove gear or ruin your durability either. just cast and walk away.

Kommentar von Mightyboof

I can't do this as Undead. I completely stripped down and Touch of the Grave kills him everytime.

Kommentar von Aary

Had to strip, kill myself, get Rez sickness, then use the item. Then it worked. 9.1.5. Screw you blizz!

Kommentar von ambyeverafter

Just did this today (12/30/21) as a Havoc Demon Hunter. No nakedness or Res Sickness needed, just stay mounted and fly around him while channeling the cannon. The cannon only hits for 255 or so and once he hits 10% HP and starts the RP walk to the portal, he's unkillable and you will get quest credit.

Kommentar von stratocator

For those that are finishing this in Shadowlands, you will kill this guy way too quickly. I had to remove all my armor then simply fly around in circles until he was dead. It took two charges of the weapon.

Kommentar von TheDVSOne

Are you UNDEAD and trying to complete this quest in Shadowlands? Is that pesky Touch of the Grave killing him with one touch?

Fear not, I have a solution. Confirmed by me today (4/21/22).

1. Take off all of your gear.
2. Fly way up and dismount. (nothing special, just die.)
3. Talk to the Spirit Healer and take the Rez Sickness. (While debuffed, Touch of the Grave will only hit for about 3k-4k damage. making it possible to do without one-shotting him.)
4. Fly to Balthas and activate the Soul Cannon, (I simply flew around him in circles, but since he couldn't really hurt me, I could have just stayed still.)
5. At 1 HP, he will become unkillable and pat to the doorway.
6. Quest Complete, go turn it in.

Happy Hunting.

Kommentar von Mattshroom

As of patch 9.2.5, the Soul Cannon no longer scales with your level and only does a small amount of damage. You can just channel it 2 or 3 times until he's at low enough HP to trigger him to run into the portal where you get credit for the quest.

Kommentar von NinaNoodles

lvl 70 Dragonflight:
i unequipped everything, used the Toy Whole-Body-Shrinker Ganzkörperschrumpfa and stood on top of the portal.
First try was interupted and he left the combat. 2. time he was lowered to 1 hp and then walked into the portal, which completes the quest.

Kommentar von phreakwithanf

Multiple attempts on this until I figured it out. As a shaman I had to remove lightning shield and take off all my gear before I was able to complete this. Two full casts took him down to 8% at which point he stopped attacking and started monologuing before heading through the portal.

Kommentar von Vensq

Dragonflight 10.0.7.

I killed him as an UNDEAD! I am priest, so idk how this works for other classes, but the trick is...

1) get res sickness and rush to him asap (its 1min so you gotta hurry)
2) use your holy nova as disco priest, it deals probably 30k+ dmg
3) use that cannon, your touch of the grave will tick him down, but wont kill him, the sequence starts and here you go, quest completed!

Kommentar von jeddhor

For anyone trying to complete this quest on a Paladin in 2023, the talent Touch of the Light triggers off of the Soul Cannon and will one-shot the quest mob.

Kommentar von BrowonGorefiend

Maybe this is obvious to most of you, but he is NOT in the Dragonmaw Fortress about 10ft away. He's in Nagrand several lightyears away.

Kommentar von DethstruXioN

I'd just like to reiterate that as a Level 53 Undead (patch 10, don't have Dragonflight installed, level 60 is my current cap), i did need to die and get ress sicknes and strip naked to get him to not die on me.

I see other people saying that they didn't need to strip down, which is probably correct, as it is only about the items that have an automated effect that does damage, like a shield that does damage when blocking, or the Undead's "Touch of the Grave" racial, which in my case was the culprit.

Kinda funny, this Warrior is my old main, but hadn't played it in years, i was working on the Netherwing rep back in 2012 or so, but i couldn't get myself to keep doing it.
But i decided to level him again, and with the reputation bonus event going on i figured that it would be good to continue doing the Netherwing rep as well, only to find out years later that things have changed quite a bit, haha.
Even the ress sickness only lasts 1 minute now, which is good, but in this specific situation it was pretty close to being too short.
For a moment i did feel Forsaken haha, but it worked finally, thanks to the comments here, so thanks either way.

Kommentar von JustBecause

Okay nothing here worked for me. I'm level 70 in Dragonflight. I tried stripping, I tried sickness, I tried all the techniques here and the only thing that finally worked was getting on my mount right outside the portal, hitting the cannon (which by the way the icon wouldn't let me do anything else but use it), then flying behind one of the pillars until the cannon ran out. When it did I flew back out to him and hit the cannon again, then flew back behind the pillar again. Then when it ran out the second time he started to run away so I flew back out and hit him with the cannon a third time then flew back to the pillar behind the portal. Finally he followed me. By this time his health was almost gone and he walked into the portal. I tried 20 other times with all the other techniques and this is the only one that worked. Its time consuming but in the long run it will save you an hour of trying everything else.

Kommentar von Daarj

I just completed this quest on a level 70 Balance Druid during the TBC Timewalking event.

This quest does appear to have been fixed.

I stayed in Flight Form the entire time and it took just over two full channels of the cannon to force Reth'hedron to retreat though it didn't matter because he does so little damage to you.

Just did this on my level 70 Guardian Druid. I had to use my flight form, but it worked. GL Everyone! ♥️

2024: you just keep the zap thing on him and kinda afk, took about 2,5-3 minutes to get to 10% so he start walking to the portal and completes the quest. Don't worry, he loses HP but won't die before he reaches it.

Sadly, Soft Foam Sword doesn't work on the Subduer

As a lvl 70 undead hunter in tww, I finally did it with having rez sickness, whole body shrinka and no gear to be effective. You can punch the boss down without touch of the grave instantly killing them, and then use the cannon when hes 10% or less to shoo him to the portal.

First attempt, he instantly died.
Second attempt, he instantly died.
Third attempt, went into Chromie time, it was a nightmare but I eventually got him down... then I realised what was wrong with the first two attempts.
Check your Combat log, (It should be next to general in the tabs above your chat) If there is anything in there that isn't "Soul Cannon" then that is your problem. Maybe a talent, or a trinket. In my case it was the Heart of Azeroth.
If you do it in Chromie time, buff up first, get a shield, maybe food buffs that restore health over time. A flask couldn't hurt. You basically want to be able to survive a 2 minute fight without any heals. I used Ice Barrier and hoped it was enough, it was, but only barely.

Doing this in TWW may appear difficult as the mob dies very quick. You don't actually have to fight him. Just use the item and eventually he will likely die. check your combatlog > my actions to see what damaged him. For me it was one of my embellishments (elemental Focusing lens). Remove the items or talents that damage him, get on your mount and use the item by being in range and right clicking the boss. Then basically be semi afk for 2-3 minutes, he will move to the portal and you get credit.

Hope this helps!

Managed to do it today. Patch 11.2 TWW
Removed all clothes and gear. Removed all talents and used the Toy , Whole-Body Shrinka.
I'm an Undead Beast Master. iLVL 583. Blasted him only once with that special weapon. bought him straight down to 1%. I was stood just in front of the portal. He muttered whatever he mutters , walked into the portal. Job Done

Did this on my undead warlock, had to swap out of demo to rid my imps, strip my gear and use my whole body shrinker so my touch of the grave didnt 1-shot him!

Just a heads up for anyone looking to do this quest...

I did this quest just this morning as a level 80 (The War Within expansion) destruction warlock. I didn't take any of my gear off and just stood close to the portal and hit the guy with the soul cannon. It took about 3 minutes to fully drain his health before he went through the portal. Easy peasy...

For those who are like me and depend on the map to tell you where you go once you accept a quest but you accept this quest and your map has no indicator on it, you need to go to Twilight Ridge in Nagrand.

I did this as a Level 80 Hunter. I killed all the adds around the portal so they wouldn't be in the way or disrupt what I was doing, removed all of my gear and dismissed my pets, stood by the portal and waited for him to run past it, and just used the cannon on him until it wore him down enough that he ran through the portal and I got credit for the quest. It took almost two full cycles of the cannon to do it. I am not sure if somehow aggro got displaced, but for some reason when he got very low, he ran away from me and I had to use the cannon again to aggro him back to the portal and then he ran through it.

Ok this is how I did it on my 80 level undead mage (that is important cos touch of the grave passive)

1. Find meele weapon that does around 10.0 dmg per second. (for me it was 8.5 from thunderfurry blessed blade of windseeker)

2. Go to the place

3. Undress and equip the weapon

4. Set auto-attack on your cast bar

5. Start attacking the boss with meele weapon and pray touch of the grave won't procc - for me it took 2 tries to suceed

6. When on low health hit esc and then use this subdue cannon and when you click on it, hit esc once more

7. demon should run to the portal and quest is done
Keep in mind, that other people can one-shoot the demon and you will have to do it again.

<Balthas hält ein fremdartiges Gerät in die Höhe.>

Dies ist eine Seelenkanone. Die Auswirkungen können bei der richtigen Abstimmung verheerend sein. Diese ist auf mein Blut abgestimmt. Dasselbe Blut, das auch durch die Adern von Reth'hedron fließt - meinem Bruder. Ja, seine falsche Loyalität wird sein Ende sein.

Nehmt die Kanone und fliegt zur Zwielichthöhe im westlichen Nagrand. Findet Reth'hedron und feuert! Ihr müsst auf Eurem Reittier bleiben und Euch in Reichweite befinden, damit die Auswirkungen erfolgreich sind. Behauptet Euch ihm gegenüber und er wird keine andere Wahl haben als zu fliehen!
