Comment by Mzbehavin

found at 73/47 on the coast of Azuregale Bay up on a ledge, just haven't figured out how to kill him as he keeps healing himself full :(
also found at 63/74 in stormheim down the coast from Skold-ashil
skinning him will give you a Felhide

Comment by Steiner14512

As a freshly dinged 110 on Beta right now, this guy is pretty hard to solo. He casts Consume Magic, removing magic debuffs from himself and healing ~~a lot~~ over 10 sec. He does whether there are debuffs on him or not, it can't be interrupted, but the heal is a magic buff that can probably be cleansed.
If you can't cleanse him, only thing I'd advice is to wait for the HoT to end, use all your cd's (maybe helpful stuff like your bodyguard ability or Thornstalk Barbs) and hope you'll kill him or get him low enough before he uses the next heal.

As a skinner, he dropped Felhide Sample for me. Don't know if that was coincidence or if it's a 100% drop, but it might be worth it to kill him.

Update: Consume Magic can be cleansed indeed. It seems this guy can show up in any of the zones as part of a world quest if you have skinning, since he can only be skinned (and doesn't drop any normal loot), it's probably only worth it to kill him if you have that profession and the world quest is active.
Update2: He got a heavy nerf, Consume Magic only heals him for about 5% now (52k per tick, 260k overall). Still has 5m hp, so a fresh 110 might still have some trouble.

Just killled Felhide Gargantuan, was pretty hard but i had some awesome self heals as a druid. You can't skin, neither loot him.

Comment by jsparks40

This mob is a World Quest mob, which I believe can spawn in any map. I just killed it in Highmountain at loc 42.0 / 42.0. Which is located at the top of the "harpy run" right next to a rare named tauren shaman. So when you get world quests, make sure you check for the quest. It should be a brown circle like the other quests except it will have a small leatherworking icon on it.

Comment by mobiledruid

Just killed him for the world quest on beta. He has apparently been nerfed, I had no problems at 110 as BM with Rexxar.

Comment by darki73

Just killed him. World Quest(WQ) in Highmountains. In order to get the WQ Item, you have to skin it, it will also drop Felhide Sample which in turn will provide you with a quest Felhide Sample

Comment by Jirki88

Sadly, this mob is immune to Enslave Demon - casting the spell gives the error message "Target can't be charmed". It can, however, be Banished.

Comment by XaviarChrist

44.85, 34.99 is the start up to a path that takes you up to this spot if he's in Highmountain... spent way longer running around that I want to admit.

Comment by Gnarsty

Saw this mob for the first time on top of a mountain by a shaman rare. Decided I would want to worry about it since I was not level 110 and it was. Banished it and to my surprise it worked. Then went to enslave it after I unbanished it and to my surprise that also worked! This guy has about 6 mil hp when you buff him as Demo Lock and the artifact ability that unleashes damage based on pet health is FATTTTTTT!

Comment by LightGuardian

Fly to Skyhorn then follow the road to the mountain and up to harpies

Comment by JEDUB

Fly to The Witchwood, Highmountain FP. From there, run east to 43.9, 31.8. Path up the mountain starts there.

Comment by Ryojinetic

He looks adorable! I'd hate to kill him.

Comment by 457435

I wonder what the spawn timer is. I've just been to all four locations and he was at none of them. *sigh*

Comment by monto6

It's just a Theory: After u complete the Felhide quest as a Skinner u can weekly go to the places where he spawns and do the world quest even if the map doesnt say so. That world quest will give u some Felhide

Comment by Profo

new location i just stumbled on 59 20 stormheim

Comment by midart

Alright, for all the really confused people as to why this is not showing even after running into all the spawn points i HIGHLY-RECOMMEND downloading the legion-companion-app on the iPhone or Andriod and check the Map.

It shows exactly if the quest is up and which region its on as well..
A total life-saver till Blizz find a patch.

edit: warning, when you use the app, it will disconnect you from the game and close battle.net app as well before launching the mobile app.

Comment by Samfisher

There is an alternate location where he can be, on the beach around 58,21. For Horde players, you can either fly to Forsaken Foothold and walk along the coast east to the pointy tip on the map, or you can fly to Stormtorn Foothills and head to 59,30 where there is a path going downwards to the beach.

Comment by samsoncorpus

World Quest just spawned at 43.51, 24.44 in Highmountain

Comment by mwiland

today, as part of a world daily, i found him IN A CAVE ON THE SHORELINE, at 62.31, 75.05

Comment by Bengarion

In a word, a pain...

Fly into Witchwood and head north on the path to

/way 42.96 31.10 Turn right here

Turn right and go to

/way 44.75 35.23 Path to Felhide Gargantuan

Follow the path up. There are harpies and other fun NPCs along the way but you should be able to just ride past them.

The Felhide Gargantuan "shares" the location with Tenpak Flametotem. (Actually, Felhide pats around Tenpak's location.)

Two for the headache of one!

Merry Christmas and happy hangover...

Comment by devoile

None of these directions were clear enough for me, took forever to find the right path. Try this without using coordinates.

Highmountain; The Witchwood FP, follow the main trail downhill until you pass under a fallen tree.
Turn right thru a wide opening between two fence sections.

Go through the puddle straight ahead and and then a slight uphill incline between two fallen trees.

Turn right and proceed until you see the lit torch, from here you can see the trail marked by guide ropes.

Comment by Shoofleur

Today he is up in Stormheim, at 32.66, 56.02 - in a cave under the waterfall - nearest fp is Skyfire Triage Camp and then head downhill towards the bats

Comment by Dainamic

Finally after 15 minutes of searching I found the Stormheim Gargantuan. He is hiding behind the waterfall at 33.55.

Comment by Boxofbeer

If cant find it in Stormheim, go to 33.2 55.0 point, there you'll see a waterfall. There's a cave behind the waterfall, pass through and you'll find Felhide Gargantuan inside the cave.

TomTom:
/way Stormheim 33.2 55.0 Cave behind waterfall

Comment by Shreknado69

Cave entrance is at bottom of waterfall south of the Skyfire Triage camp if you see the Felhide quest up around there. took me a good 5 minutes looking for it and it wasn't on this map. also don't know how to add a location but it's around 32.14, 55.54 in Stormheim.

Comment by m0pJr

This stupid fricken thing is broken. I have the world quest to get a felhide, but when I kill him I can't loot him I can't skin him or anything. I've tried logging in and out it doesn't work and I'm 212 Skinning. It shows up as an available World Quest but doesn't let me do anything once I kill him. Blizzard is really starting to piss me off with these bugs.

Comment by Shalois

For people having an issue with skinning the one up north in Stormheim you have to go west up the beach til some cave. It will then activate the quest and you can go back for the kill (and skin). The cave is where a named mob is when you do the murloc-egg quest in the same area.

Comment by Anjo

This world quest takes place in multiple locations so if you're posting information about finding the felhide gargantuan, it really helps if you list the coordinates for which location, including the zone you are referencing.

One such location is in southern Stormheim inside a cave at 62.5 75. I flew to Hafr Fjall in Stormheim then drove northeast to the mountain range and jumped off using my Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite to glide close to the cave entrance which is at the waterline down below. There is a rare behind the gargantuan inside the cave that can be avoided by pulling the felhide gargantuan towards the cave entrance.

Comment by starcolonelurza

The one on Isle of the Watchers is ridiculous. Spawns right on top of an elite, which makes soloing an easily soloable WQ impossible.

Comment by willi1988

There is a second one in Suarmar. It is located at 73.1,47.1. It is just to the northeast of Jandvik. The closest flight point is Crimson Thicket. The Felhide Gargantuan is sleeping on a ledge out in the open.

Comment by 1103552

If he's hitting you too hard as a fresh ungeared Windwalker monk, do as much damage as you can and then freeze him with Paralysis. Then back off, heal, heal, wait for cooldowns, get good and ready, then finish him off.

Comment by jemaris

Another Highmountain Location - 47,71.

From Thundertotem, take the walkway/path east out of Thundertotem (55'58 in Thundertotem), to the junction at 50,64 (that's 50'64 in Snowblind Mesa area, not Thundertotem).

Turn south and follow the path to 48,67 - Summitrest basecamp.

Turn left up the hill that becomes snow-covered and continue up right / left / right & he's on the right on the big rock. A lot easier to get to than some of the other locations.

Comment by 1210820

Found this one the hard way on a lowly 104 DK, just had to see what the odd mob taking a cat nap was up to in highmountian @43.5, 24.4 as i lay here taking a death nap right next to him,,:) Curiosity killed my ca/ i mean my DK . Note to self to return one day with a bigger stick and even the score a tad :)

Comment by iNUKE

Azsuna: /way 27.68, 48.95

Comment by Anhohyt

In awe size of this lad, absolute unit.

Comment by WokkaD

Can drop Felhide Sample when skinned, if the skinner does not have the Felhide Skinning skill..

NOTE : Does NOT drop any loot. This is a Skinning World Quest objective.The only loot received is from skinning.

Comment by chillyspoon

It's unclear to me, do these guys only spawn for the world quest or is there always one up on at least one of the spawn sites?

I've only found two so far, both as WQs and I've done a lot of flying around!

Thanks.

Update: it's the following day and I just found one spawned that isn't a WQ but it's not-skinnable after killing.

Comment by esspressonator

The quest doesn't show up in my quest logs but I found the Felhide Gargantuan (34,61) in Val 'Sharah. After killing the mob it is un-targetable, un-lootable and un-skinnable. I have completed all the Felhide quests and maxed out skinning. I went back to dalaran to buy the to relearn skinning, then went back to the quest mob and still cannot target or skin. Opening a ticket with GM, will post an update.

Update: No reply from a GM but i unlearnt skinning, relearnt and bought the book again. This reset my LEGION skinning to 0. I farmed a few seals on the island (32,17) and got back to 100 legion skinning in 15 min. The world quest now shows up and i can now skin the Felhide Gargantuan.

- Make sure your LEGION skinning is at at least 25 (i went to 100 to be sure) for the quest to show up and him to be skinnable

Comment by garlanda

i cant find the original post. but if u cant find your WQ make sure the character u are on has don't the Kadgar quest unite the isles then you can get the WQ and skin
