Easy fight clear the other mobs in the area he does weird flame breathe for 900 or so.

Comment by 13914

Coords confirmed. Easily soloable as a lv 70 mage. Not immune to frost nova so probably not immune to entangle/snare/etc.

Comment by pond

Has 12,502 hitpoints according to my Mob-Info after the kill, not your average 70, but not elite either.

Comment by 12690

This guy wasn't a tough mob, as far as they go, but he was so ridiculously huge that I couldn't get behind him to stab the bugger when he was stunned or gouged. It made it a lot more frustrating. Worth noting that dagger rogues are going to have a pain of a time positioning, due to the terrain and the size of this bugger.

Comment by 17869

As ranged can pull and kill him from standing on the bridge.

Comment by 22497

Not too bad of a solo, a lot easier for ranged. Pull him onto hill next to lava for melee.

Comment by Dianora

Quite easy to solo for a pally at level 70. Pop the Avenging Wraith and a way we go.

Comment by 22782

This guy puts up a good fight for a non elite!

Comment by 18799

LONGEST RESPAWN EVER !!

Comment by 33236

I get a cut of the technology? Liar! All he does is raise his hands as if he's giving you a buff, but then he does nothing. Then gives you nothing! Damn you shifty blood elves.

Comment by 41448

This fight seems to be very random. He has 12,500 hp like stated, but the number of times he does his fire attack seems to be random.
I first tried to kill him in cat form (lvl 70 druid) and he took down my 8k health extremely fast, hitting me many times with fire. Then after rezzing, i fought him in bear and he only did 1.5k damage for the whole fight, only doing the 900 dmg fire attack once.
So the second time it was a very easy fight, not so much the first.

Comment by 41610

soloed by a 70 frost mage, very very easy.

Comment by 51938

Found him at the coordinates listed below, by the bridge. I had to clear a few mobs, but pulling him wasn't too difficult. You can fight him right outside the lava easily. He hits for between 200-300 on a cloth wearer which is not too much to worry about, it's his fire breathe that does some major damage. It's about 900 or so a second. So watch out and prepare for it when he gets down past half, and you should be alright.

Comment by Darkfire

56,42 make suer you clear mobs as he will pull them too, very easy fight just avoid his fire breath it hits for 1k. Hes BIG but Easy as pie

Comment by Rianne

I just did this as full raid-resto druid... I pulled and killed all his little adds...mana/hp up...feiry fire-hybernate pulled him, shift to cat, wait until I had full energy...get 5 combo points, maim, shift and heal (regrowth, swiftmend, lifebloom, barkskin, regrowth, lifebloom), hybernate, shift to cat and regain all energy and pwn until low again....

I was getting low on mana so I shifted out, warstomp, potted, hybernated and repeated. It was still a close call...

Return quest at 30,28.

Comment by 64047

Fearable. this tells you all u need as a lock

Comment by rosa08

Just solo'd him as a lvl 68 (nicely geared) arms fury hybrid warr. Used a Death Wish, Bladefist's Breadth, and Recklessness Combo, was on full health and used commanding shout for a little safety. Went down really swiftly.

Comment by 67894

Solo'ed as a 67 frost mage. Not a problem at all, esp. if you have water ele. The flame breath isn't too much of a problem 'cause it's only close aoe, and it's channeled so any stun or silence will end it without trouble.

Comment by Athene

This was a pain as 67 retri pally. Since we dont have any ranged attack, I had to jump into the lava and judge him (with light), then hurry back out.
He usually spits fire 2 times, but he only did it 1 time while I fought him, which I countered with stun.
Bubbled and bandaged first time with low health, potion the second, lay on hands the third time.
Took me 4 tries actually, the other tries he spit fire twice and I couldn't stop the second >.<

Comment by 32

Soloed as a 68 Balance Druid, easy as cake. just entagle root him and dps, when you see him about to fel-fire, hibernate him.

Comment by 83700

As lvl 70 fire mage, super easy. Pyroblast and fireball, frost nova and few fireballs and its down. Lost about 1k hp.

The mob is rather big :P

Comment by 67719

Just did this with my 70 arms warrior and it was a easy as pie. his flame hit me 4 times for 998 time. If you have fire resistance then you could probably get hit for less.
Easy to solo just pull the three adds from him first

Comment by 50132

can be feared and deathcoiled. he got lolwtfpwned in about 15secs. warlock will have an easy time with this.

Comment by 25329

enhancemnt blue geared shamy, pulled with LB rank 1 and poped trinket, he died before he even began starting his breath attack, most borig fight actualy.

Comment by 56184

Piece of cake, 70 lock... with felguard, very little damage taken....

Comment by 61311

You know may be blizzard hates me or something because I can not get a single hit off this guy. everytime I slash or shoot him, he evades me and he doesn't even notice me to boot.

Comment by 110647

still bugged... :|

Comment by 117253

Confirmed...they got smart and moved him on land.

Was near impossible to pull him from the lava without losing a substantial amount of health before engaging. Plus the flyers bugged him out too, so meh.

Easy mob to kill. Watch for his fire breath....ouchy.

Comment by 66765

the New Coords are at 56|44. i dont know when they updated it.

Comment by 127976

56, 44 now. As of last patch he doesn't spawn under the bridge anymore. (Would become evade/stuck) Now he is on the cliff on the side of the lava flow.

Comment by Gussage

Why do people have to write lots of bull$%^& every single time?
its a time-waste for ppl who wants to quest fast, just bring us the coords and thats it.
hes not special.. if u came this far u probly killed lots worse mobs.
so this is the god damn coords: 56,40
and thats that, ty.

Comment by 160241

56, 44 confirmed, just follow the southern bank of the magma river and you'll find him in no time, he's on the bank and is huge.

He's a fairly easy kill, watch out for his felfire breath, it does MASSIVE damage, but is interruptable. Apart from that, you're laughing.

Comment by Rammstein

Be careful. After killing him don't go AFK like I did :) He respawns in 1-2 minutes.

Comment by 297016

i three shoted him with chaos bolt,shadow bolt and instant SB all three was crit

Comment by Stoneboar

Just a suggestion for the warriors. Charge up in battle stance and switch to bezerker. Works like a charm

Comment by 354240

soloed as a 67 unholy DK pretty easy altho i walked away with almost 100 hp left i drank a onslaught elixir which gives u 60 attck power for 60 min.... i just walked up used every attack and summoned my gargoyle and took him down in a little amount of time but if u have ur minion also it would help

Comment by decko

Very soloable as a 67 enhancement shaman. Just interrupt the fire breathing. Apart from that it's a pretty straight-forward fight. I didn't even have to use the wolves.

Felspine the Greater

Researcher Tiorus at Shadowmoon Village in Shadowmoon Valley wants you to kill Felspine the Greater and recover Felspine's Hide.

	Felspine's Hide (1)

Description

Gnomus knows about the massive diemetradon and plans to eat it! He must have been able to see what I could see through the eyes of his arcano-scorp. Look, there's no time to explain. He's crazy and that craziness is going to cost us the closest thing we've got to a fireproof jumpsuit.

Get back to the lava flow near Baa'ri and track down Felspine the Greater. Once you find it, kill it and bring me back its hide.

Don't try and reason with me, <name>. I'm well past that point.
