Just follow the orc and do what he says ^^ Luckily enough you get a break between the waves of mobs, which come in about 3's, and in the third wave it's Vorsha. Make sure you drink between fights, and be at full health when Vorsha comes along.

I soloed this quest at level 21 as a Warlock. He says you need a group, but you really don't. The first thing that will happen is you will escort Muglash a bit to an island. He tells you to dose out the first in the middle.

Be ready for battle when you do this! The first wave of attacks comes; it is 3 nagas. If you are a warlock, have your void walker tank one, let the NPC tank one, and keep the other mob feared. After the first 3 are killed, you will have about 5 seconds to eat/drink. Do it!

Next comes 3 more nagas, rinse and repeat. Again, you will have another 5 seconds to rest. Vorsha comes next. Just went down like any other level 22 mob. Good experience, worth doing!

Comment by Qwik

Soloed this quest as a level 23 Priest. I feared the waves to make it easier to kill them. When Vorsha came, I let Muglash tank and just healed him.

Like Ekornmeyer said, it says you need a group, but it's easy enough without one.

ummm, right when I got there he said good job we have defeated Vorsha, go back and report to the others. I didn't fight anything.

Comment by h4rr0d

just did it as 22 mage, the waves of 3 adds were wasy, i just AOEd them, when vorsha came, i wasnt at full health and when the mob got to me, it 1shot me (all 3 heads bite me at one time, each 70ish) but i did not release, the NPC managed to kill vorsha and i got credit for quest.

Comment by 10100_

The above theory of allowing Muglash to die is disproved. I just tried to do the quest as stated and I failed the quest when Muglash died, it was likely fixed in the most recent patch.

Also, when Vorsha spawned another 3 naga spawned as well. This could be anything from a bug to Blizzard trying to further "fix" the quest and make it more group-oriented.

It's really easy. I soloed as lvl 23 Warlock, sent in Voidwalker to tank, used Fear on one, and let Muglash do the rest. Vorsha is lvl 22, so it was pretty easy beating it. I almost died once, but having first aid makes a big difference.

Comment by 35439

Really easy quest..! Did this with my lvl 23 fury Warrior.
Just remember to have some food, so you can eat between the fights.
Vorsha is really easy to kill, no problem at all..

Comment by Binary102

It appears that what causes this event to 'glitch' is when other characters fail the quest.
I did this quest on my 21 druid and as with the other reports Vorsha came with an extra wave of naga. Luckily I managed to kill him, but about 10 seconds after I killed Vorsha and the extra waves of adds, more waves of adds begun to spawn and yet again Vorsha spawned.
In summary : If you see the bones of dead players next to the alter, you may be in for a tougher fight then what is expected.
I put a GM ticket in with my findings and they said they'd look into it.

Comment by 81181

Seems this quest was bugged in 2.3 I took it and followed Muglash, and when we got to the beach he just yelled something in style with "We did it bla bla bla" without no actual fight, so I got quest completed just by following him there.

Comment by 109809

If a Mage dont be an idiot like me and and arcane blast the waves! and you can still complete the quest even if you die just dont realease to gy

Comment by sGun

I just tried this and there were three waves instead of two. The first two waves were easy enough but then the third wave and Vorsha came at once. I gave it two tries but this happened both times.

On the second attempt I tried to tank the three adds and let Muglash solo Vorsha as others have said he can, but he failed.

Comment by 57104

solod as a 22 elemental shaman

the waves we're really easy, altho Vorsha himself was a pain. he nearly killed me. but i earthshock-critted him to death:)

Comment by Desblud

If you're having some trouble with this quest with the number of adds you can do a small strategy that I had recently found out. Once you are on the small island with Muglash, put out the flame as instructed, though once you do so, head most south on the island, this will cause one of the adds to head straight after you before the other adds come within the line of sight, and Muglash will come to your aid once attacked which allows him to also avoid those mobs, the waves then become 2-phase fights consisting of the first add, then the two others at the end of each phase, hope this helped because I know some classes aren't as solo worthy as others.

Comment by sseldne

Easy quest, solo'd as 22 druid.

Comment by 193596

This quest was REAL weird. I dont know HOW this happened, but this guy did the quest RIGHT before me, and I fought one wave, didnt have to kill Vorsha, and it said I finished the quest.

Comment by 183080

Indeed an easy quest, soloed it as 20 shammy, just let murglash tank one, put stoneclaw totem for the second and kill the caster yourself, use es in the last second so the caster never get to dmg you. For the hydra, simply use stoneshield and searing totem and keep frostshock up, then heal urself, he hits for quite a bit so let ur searing and the npc do the dps.

Comment by renceste

lol I got the quest, died on the 2nd wave as a 24 mage 'cause I got too much aggro, I came back to my corpse, rezzed, went back to the quest giver and got it again then went back to the flame area and the hydra was still there and I killed him no problem with the 25 quest givers help and i got the kill credit without having to do the first 2 waves because i couldnt put out the flame without getting the hydras aggro.

Comment by 10904

The experience is off on this quest. I just completed it as a level 30 and only got 1400 XP.

Comment by Thysios

Easy quest (solo'd at lvl 20, shaman). Just do Stoneskin totem + keeping up Searing Totem and you'll survive ;)

You will most likely get all the aggro, so make sure you have enough mana to heal yourself! (espiaccely against Vorsha)

Comment by 260838

Solod at lvl 21. Very easy.

Just had my pet tank the nagas and had Muglash kill them. No problems.At Vorsha two lvl 21 Alliance attacked me. I killed one solo and and Muglash killed the other. Very easy and worth doing.

Comment by Veph

Just soloed as a level 20 Rogue. It was a piece of cake.

I honestly wasn't expecting to survive as it said it was a 23 group quest, but I decided to give it a shot and had no problems. The waves of Naga I could dps fast enough so that they didn't do too much damage, and there was just enough time to eat between the waves.

When Vorsha came I just had to use a health potion once, and then she was down. The only annoying part was the second wave of Naga had the sorceresses that put you to sleep, but there was still no problems. :)

Good luck all!

Comment by 309204

Easy to solo as a 25 warrior. And I'm admittedly a wuss when it comes to taking on quests like this. I didn't have any of the problems others did with the extra wave of nagas- I may have gotten lucky with no bugs. Just a few minutes for a lot of XP- and Muglash can hold his own!

Comment by Keepertje8

Duo'd it with 2 warlocks at lvl 28. Not hard...

Comment by 331123

I solo'd it as a lvl24 druid, not hard at all. because of previous posts i was kinda skeptical, but it was easier than I thought it would be.there were only 2 waves of naga, 3 each, and then Vorsha by herself for me,. ... I just did it in bear form taking the aggro, healing ever so often and buffed Muglash with Mark of the Wild and Thorns, which helped a lot. so....its not that hard.

Comment by 160470

I did not get any rep from completing this quest....Has anyone else had this problem?

Comment by 218394

Solo'd as a lvl 24 Enh Shammy. I actually thought it was good practice for healing during a fight which I don't do that often as I am Enh. Only 2 waves of mobs then the big daddy -- or mommy maybe, not really sure. :\

Comment by Nikeleye

Solo'd as a 21 Druid.

No problems with the waves of Naga, just 2 waves of 2x melee and 1x caster, the first wave put Muglash to sleep and the second me, but DPS'd them down no issues in cat then warstomp+heal (yay for bovine intervention) before stealthing ready for Vorsha, who went down without issue - though Muglash did nearly conk it!

Definately an easy quest if you're careful :)

Comment by ihateblizzdev

Still a potentially jacked up quest with unending waves of Naga if someone has failed it previously (and not completed). I saw the bones of a player there, and as Binary102 above states, that heralds a bugged quest. I died on 3rd wave, but Vorsha was killed, so on rez I could access body (which is important). Read Binary102's post above and be on the look out if it seems freaky. After rezzing, the waves kept coming and coming - I looted the hydra and bolted out of there.

Blizz freak code at its best!

Comment by 346654

have they nerfed this quest? just solod it as a lvl 20 warrior =P
wasnt hard at all

Comment by 545094

As of 4/1/2010, this quest gives no rep whatsoever. Just Exp. Frustrating when you're lvl 75 and trying to get Ogr rep to exalted. Would have skipped this one had I known.

Comment by 717646

This "Group" quest is a joke. There's no elites, so why make it a Group quest?
Solo'd as a Level 26 Goblin Warlock. Started off rocky, but I got the upper hand. Killed the "elite" easily.

"If we do not have a group of your allies to aid us, we will surely fail." Don't believe this crap.
The orc didn't even help me with Vorsha. He just stood there looking off into space.

Comment by dkgirl

Ran about in Zoram'gar Outpost and collected quests and got this two times by two different questgivers. Haven't started the quest yet at all, but it only stands 1 time in my QL. How that be?

Comment by Lylas

I did this as a low level quest, so I was eager to just run off and get it done, but it kept coming up as failed. I guess I didn't wait long enough for Muglash to start heading out and so that's why. If anyone else is having this issue, just be patient and wait for him to slooowwwwly start walking towards the objective. He will eventually.

Comment by healingenzo

It's an ESCORT quest. Doesn't read that way but it is. When you get there, 2 sets of adds, then purple hydra boss. Got to see if she's tamable - expect not.

Comment by Neurolanis

I just soloed this with a level 22 hunter with no special gear at all but I survived, just barely. Helps to have a bear with you, if you're a hunter, because a lot of damage is dealt out. On your breaks quickly feed yourself and your pet. A health potion would obviously be wise to bring with you as well.

Comment by zlloyd1

Just be sure you follow him after accepting the quest, or it will say FAILED after a few seconds!

Comment by Raziya

This purple hydra can also be tamed, if you are too impatient to wait for the rare spawn in the Barrens. You can start the quest on an alt, leave your hunter on the island, and then start the event, log out, and kill the naga. Even if Muglash despawns once it has started, Vorlash will still spawn (at least that was my experience). I logged my alt out on the second hydra wave.

Great pet, and a beautiful look!

Comment by 1029550

If you want Vorsha for a pet for your Hunter then just kill everything for Muglash until you get to the island. Click on the fire burner. Then only kill what attacks you (as you stand far off) then when Vorsha comes, she can kill Muglash if you do not help. Then tame her.You fail the quest but get an awesome pet, and you can abandon the quest after you fail to do it again.
If you would like a blue hydra also they are to the west and easily tamed.

Comment by majesticPhaZon

I was able to solo Vorsha as a Lvl 20 Demonology Warlock. It's really simple if you think about it.
The prime spells you need are Soulfire, Hand of Gul'dan, Drain Life, Create Healthstone, and Fear. Fear will potentially be your greatest weapon, so make sure to use it often. Use your Voidwalker.
Hand of Gul'dan will create an AoE effect on the waves of nagas, so I switched my targets often and found them drained down to at least half health.
Use Soulfire only when Magma Core is on.
Drain Life will be needed if you need some healing during the waves.
ALWAYS use Create Healthstone in between the waves. If you have to, use Health Funnel to restore your demon's health.
When Vorsha comes, CONSTANTLY cast Fear. During the Fear period, you're able to barrage her with the damagers I listed above. If Fear becomes undone, cast it again. Repeat until she dies.
Voidwalker serves as a good tank and taunter so you won't receive as much damage.
Other than that, make sure to follow the orc or you'll fail the quest.

Comment by Rotgutt

Just did this quest after the 7.3.5 questing updates, but I did not get the Zoram'gar Outpost credit for the Ashenvale Loremaster achievement. Not sure if this is a bug or Wowhead has this quest listed wrong as the criteria.

Comment by kerrymayall

He.walks.so.slow.

Comment by brune12345

This quest, as far as I can tell at lvl110, is no longer in the final criteria for the achievement criteria "Zoram'gar Outpost" for Ashenvale Quests

The correct quest is Before You Go....

Comment by vitor210

If you get the annoying message saying you failed the mission, it's because you need to follow the NPC quest giver after accepting the quest. He walks slow but just keep following him. At the site of the quest, there will be 2 or 3 waves of naga mobs that are easily dealt with, and then Vorsha will spawn.

Don't worry about the quest saying it's for 2 people, even as a level 23 arms warrior in quest gear (0 heirlooms) I killed him in 3 hits, super easy.

Comment by golden85

If issues with this quest fading out or failing (or any other coast lined quests in area) fly to darkwood revert the area back to before the Tree was burned. For some reason it affects this area too

Comment by Drunkmaster69

Wow i literally had to do all the quest in Zoram gar outpost to get the achievement "Zoram'gar outpost".
Just doing this quest did not unlock it

Comment by Dsiak

All of that and not even an elite.

Comment by xLunacyx

I tried doing this quest at lv53 in Chromie Time and those Wave Riders along the way absolutely decimate him with their Whirlpool attack. Muglash died along the way despite no enemy directly targetting him.

Description

Vorsha the Lasher... the fiendish hydra that roams the seas...

She has attacked our outpost, each time unprovoked, laying waste to anything that falls in her path.

But I am ready, <name>. I have prepared to best the hydra and end these attacks on Zoram'gar.

The naga honor the wicked nature of this beast with a brazier that remains lit on an island just off the coast. I believe that if we put it out, Vorsha will appear in anger.

We will need help, so be sure to bring some strong allies.
