Comment by Merdento

That quest drove me crazy cuz i coudn't find the Lithe Stalker, he is just behind the quest giver, if you completed the previous quest.

You have to use the "Leap" abylity (number 1) jumping up the mountain to reach the stone gargoyles. (Some gargoyles needs to be hitted twice to count)

Comment by Helldemonik

all around the area of 60,75 if you look up you will see the gargoyles. jump up the cliff walls... this takes a bit of practice. you might fall a couple of times. =)

just go up to them and use the command " Heave " ..this will kill them. and as Merdento said... sometimes you have to use this command twice to kill them.

Comment by Mousa

If you master the travelling with jumping, you kinda feel like batman,,, or spiderman!

Comment by seitori

Leads to The Rider of Blood, The Rider of Frost, The Rider of the Unholy.

Comment by 17299

Makes me miss wallclimbing.

Comment by 226165

You don't have to run or jump back after you done this quest, just leave the vehicle control and you'll be returned to where you take control of the stalker.

Comment by 224259

Real fun q :) if you know what to do x) rhymes :D

Comment by 87150

To get up to ledges that are very close to you so that you can't target the horizontal surface, just target the edge with leap and hold forward,the gheist should get up there anyway without falling off.

Comment by mattaio

This quest rocks... You've got about a 40 yard jump range so;
1) Click "Leap"
2) You'll see the standard "green" targeting circle.
3) Move it to your desired location.
4) Left Click. After a few leap I found out maximum distance is the easiest way to cruise.
5) When you are in range of a gargoyle, leap right on it.
6) Use your "heave" command. I had a couple of instances where I had to hit heave twice, but otherwise this is a breeze.

Comment by 302219

I saw that you have to wait about a second before you hit 3, or Heave, therefore you only have to hit it once.

Comment by 281586

i think this lithes that you controle is quiet amazing, the fact that the leap ability is amazing itself they can also leap IN AIR...
like a double jump :D

Comment by 48128

Do not get fooled by the Heave ability tooltip (has devistating effects on gargoyles in stoneform)
Gargoyles are made out of stone, so the gargoyles DO NOT need to be in stoneform, you can shatter any of the gargoyles in the area, if you fail just wait untill the cooldown is finished and try again

Comment by 65687

I've tried to Heave about 7 Gargoyle's now and it's told me every single one is Immune.
Anyone either...
a) Got the same problem?
or
b) Know how to fix it?

EDIT: Just in case anyone else experiences this problem, I went back to vereth & got a new Geist and it seemed to fix it = )

Happy days.

Comment by gig900

Well. I manage to accept the quest and then log off.. so i got no idea what you are talking about. is this some kind of transformation? make this easy for me please =)

Comment by Stryker666

I don't know if anyone else notice this but when i had control of the lithe stalker i kept my own shadow.
I was in druid flight form when i clicked the orb and the stalker had a birdy shadow!

Edit*

I also noticed sometimes you may have to click heave twice for it to work!

Comment by Essay

/script SetCVar ("cameraDistancemax" ,50)

This macro works great for being able to target the ledges above you.
To use it copy and paste that into a macro assign it to a key on the action bar and press it...then scroll your mouse wheel down (if thats what your camera zoom out button is)

?
Profit.

Comment by Gortrok

In order to succeed at Heave in one go, you have to be outside of their selection circle.. at least that's what worked for me. Maybe you do have to wait a second after you select the thing for Heave to work properly.

Comment by Maritas

What a totally fun quest!

Comment by Sauze

Funniest quest ever!
I really felt like Spiderpig =)

Comment by Wynadorn

Don't forget to turn on your sound at this quest!

btw does any1 know the /run command to hear the sound they make =P

Comment by 389268

I was having issues destroying the gargoyles, then I noticed when you targeted them there was a blue targetting circle that appears under them and then shrinks down to nothing. Waiting till that blue targeting circle was gone and then heaving I got the kill every time with one shot.

Comment by 173429

Much Fun!
I would love to roll one of these as a charachter...

Comment by 160979

This quest was bugged for me when I 1st tried it. After abandoning and picking it back up again, it worked just fine.
This quest can also be done at the same time as and (which are Argent Tournament daily quests).

Comment by fatboys1im

Im sold... definitely one of the better quest chains. So fun I'd even say this race should get on board w/ Horde, or ally... or both. All I know is I want one cuz THESE GUYS CAN PARTY!

Comment by 332246

how do you get the lithe stakers commands, or controls?

Comment by knikkers

When you target the gargoyles and you get a 'INVALID TARGET' line:

'leave' your current Lithe stalker and activate a new one; this will solve this problem.

Comment by midobu

Use a red orb behind and turn into a Lithe Stalker.
There are three quests you can do at the same time while becoming a Lithe Stalker.

Generosity Abounds quest
Use #2 command to pull Scourge Bomb and take it to the Lumbering Atrocity.

Matchmaker quest
Use #4 command to throw a rock to Umbral Bruce near Skeleton.

Stunning View quest
Use #1 & #3 command. #1 to jump higher up where Iceskin Sentry is. Then use #3 to attack Iceskin Sentry.

Comment by WoWGnGP

i made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by CzechCloud

Use the red orb behind the quest giver. Afterwards you can control the Stalker and complete the quest.

Comment by Kaerfemagsh

this quest is bugged, not getting credit when using the "heave" ability on the gargoyles

Comment by xLunacyx

Doing Loremaster in BFA, some gargoyles didn't count for some reason. Seems they don't count if you use Heave too soon after Leap.

Links

Stunning View

Vereth the Cunning at the Rise of Suffering wants you to use a Lithe Stalker's heave ability to destroy 12 sleeping Iceskin Sentries.

	Iceskin Sentry destroyed (12)

Description

Gargoyles make effective scouts and can be deadly if left to rain attacks from the air, but they have a very obvious weakness. Most of them have to go through long periods resting as stone to maintain the energy they need to carry their heavy bodies through the air.

As I peered through the eye you were using, I noticed dozens of iceskin sentries resting on the eastern and southern walls inside. Use the stalker to leap up to their ledges and devastate them while they sleep.
