I recently 2-manned this quest as a level 27 fury warrior working with a 28 feral druid. The druid started off in cat form, but found it was necessary to switch to bear form early on in the fight due to the amount of damage being dealt to us. He did need to switch to caster form to lay down a few heals during the battle, though if you have a group of 3 or more, healing probably isn't necessary for this fight.

After you place the banner, two Enraged Foulwealds (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12921) will spawn. If you're on the "totem mound" where you placed the banner they'll attack you, otherwise they'll attack the banner and eventually destroy it if not attacked. After a while (or once the first are dead, I'm not sure), another two will come. Expect a lot of angry bears and no chance to rest!

Eventually Chief Murgut (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12918) will spawn who, if you've survived so far, shouldn't give you any problems. Have fun :)

The mound is at 56, 63.

Tough quest, don't attempt to solo it imo. Enraged Foulwealds spawn one after another, about 20-25 of them spawn(rough count), level 24-25 mobs, I got through about 12-14 of them soloing as a paladin(great gear) and was level 27. I recommend having at least* a party of two(no lower than 25) and one being healer type. (Also beware of the level 35 elite that wanders through the area.)

soloable as a 29 pally in fair gear (sin'dorei warblade and some teen-level greens). bandage when you shield to conserve mana.

i had to use all of my tricks to survive the full fight...bubble, good use of HoJ, and finally a well-timed LoH before regaining enough mana again to heal.

i think there were four waves of two furbolgs each before murgut came charging in.

good luck!

Soloable as a 27 druid. Have decent gear, assorted 20's blues. Had to switch out and heal a few times plus use warstomp. Quite a few waves of mobs. Definatly easier with 2 ppl though.

Comment by 26004

Just got done doing this quest as a 33 Undead Holy Priest, with fair gear and solo. I proceeded in a different light, knowing I would not be able to take on wave after wave of mobs, I took out mobs one at a time to make a path to the mound. Once on top, I took out as many mobs that I could before planting flag. After planting flag I started fight with first wave, killed a few and then used Psychic scream to shew off attackers. Ran up the path to regain health and out of danger, then came back to see the chief trying to take down my flag. Singled him out and fried his butt in the previuos cleared foreground area. Took my totem as the spawnees were coming back to life and ran!!! Mission accomplished.

For those without coordinates, the mound is located in Greenpaw Village. Need a group of 2 or more...Expect hardly anytime to heal and keep an eye on the flag.

Comment by 31063

make sure not to stand in the middle of the mound when you start the encounter. You will get stuck IN the flag.

*sigh*

Comment by Asmael

Soloed today by 25 lvl Holy Paladin in decent gear. No problems just have to play mana-wise hehe.

Comment by bennetta

Soloed as a level 28 ret spec Pally, but I had to pop Lay on Hands. It's actually a lot of fun to do, keep BoW up, watch your mana, and avoid consecrate spam if you can help it (it's not very efficient). Dance between auras to heal as needed and you're good.

The only problem is that the leggings are just, well... um... well they're great leggings, but they make you look like you just stepped out of a bar in the Castro district of San Francisco.

Comment by kdesigns

Soloed at a 28 affliction lock. used a coarse stone statue, healthstone, heavy silk bandage, lesser healing pot, voidsac and resummon. but i did it =D

Comment by 19877

If you get far enough into the event where Murgut comes out, but you are unseccessful in killing him, you can run back and he will still be there, and you are still able to get his totem.

Comment by 41015

When I did it with my pal( me 29 priest he 27 mage) We did it fairly easy but the suck part was that he didnt drop any totem and only one of us culd loot him... we did it 2 times no totem!

Comment by Takeout

Actually, Murgut spawns on a timer after you plant the banner. There will *always* be two furbolgs to fight.

My advice, don't kill any of them. If you can cc, do so. if not just bring them to near death and save your mana and use your cooldowns judiciously until Murgut spawns.

Then kill the two quickly, kill Murgut - profits!

Comment by Poof

(Please delete) Answered from anka's post. However, after he died, I didn't see said basket anywhere.

Comment by 45864

Hmm. Tried to solo this as a lvl 33 BE Ret Pally. Could deal with both Enraged Foulwealds easily enough, taking both down with more than three quarters of my health left. However, when both of the mobs aren't being tended to at once, one of them will get a little mischievous and dismantle the banner. Very frustrating!! Did it to me three times the little buggers. I would advise that you do with a friend as once the banner is gone, you have to fly back to Zoram to get another one. I eventually binned this as I have no friends. Sob Sob.

Comment by 42509

Soloed as a level 32 BE Demon Lock. Wasn't too hard... have a healthstone and some mana and health pots.

Comment by Immobulus

Solo'd as a 28 disc priest, no cooldowns, no pots. just renew and kill the mobs until he spawns and kill him

Comment by Enruhe

Soloed as a 28 Mage, didn't even need to bandage, just clear the area around the totem mound, keep one permanently sheeped and kite the other, as said above, eventually Murgut will spawn.

Comment by 47109

Soloed it at 29 lvl affli warlock. I was just putting DoTs on them one by one and at the end when King appeared, i died and used soulstone, then quick feared King. Peace of cake if u know how to play :)

Comment by 40815

tricky quest, soloed as a 28 ret/holy paladin in 20s greens and blues--did have to blow both bubbles and bandage through them, a health pot, a few stuns, lay on hands when i was oom and near death, and arcane torrent to get some mana back. Used blessing of might to keep dps up, and by the time i was finished with the waves of mobs i had enough time to eat and drink. used a mix of concentration aura and ret aura. used blue lvl 26 boe 1h mace+shield.

Comment by 53365

The Mound is at 56,63

Comment by 53569

Pretty easy quest. Solo'd it myself, and i was a 25 druid, did it all in cat form. Not too hard. Coordinates are correct. (56,63)

Comment by Jakobud

A nice trick about this quest, the basket Murgut drops (which contains the totem) can be looted by anyone who has the quest, even if they were not in the group who killed Murgut.

I showed up once 3 or 4 min after some other group did the quest, the basket was still there so I simply looted it and was done :-)

Comment by 62954

The quest says it's a 3man quest but I soloed it with my lvl 26 blood elf beast mastery hunter. Just used everything I got: 3 times stacked mana tap, Healing Potion, Silk bandage, freezing trap is realy handy here. I nearly died, and my pet was dead already as I ran off up the hill. I Wing Clipped the furbolg and switched to aspect of the cheetah. There I quickly ate and drunk up and ressed my pet again. The boss was spawned and I pulled him just in time, the mobs who were arround him first spawned back and I finished him

Comment by 28192

Soloed as a 26 Paladin (Full Prot), just took the first two mobs down to as low health as I could without killing, sat there healing for a while (Redoubt made this trivial), as soon as the main guy spawned consecrated and focused everything on him. Didn't even have to bubble.

Comment by 28526

Solo'ed this as a 27 Affliction lock, just SS'ed before, and used VW + Health funnel until the chief came. Let myself die, then SS'ed and killed him. He's quite easy.

Comment by 20327

soloed by lvl 31 shammy :P

Comment by 41762

To acquire this quest, you first have to complete Between a Rock and a Thistlefur (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=216) which is given to you by the same NPC.

Comment by 74043

you have to kill almost all the area! too many mobs...take 2 ppl with you or at least 1 higher lvl or you're gonna have hard time there http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/3213/untitledto0.jpg

Comment by 78324

You can actually solo this as a hunter. Warlocks probably could as well. I did it at level 26, well equiped but far from twinked. It's a lot of fun :-)

You have to keep your pet's HoT on, and I ended up using a bandage on him as well whilst letting them beat on the banner a bit. Have to be careful with your mana too, don't go blowing it all in the first 30 seconds, I was out by the time the last one came, but it didn't matter, he was easy. Didn't even use a potion.

Comment by Fathomable

Solo at lvl 28 with a paladin, however I think it bugged cus i died right before Boss came and but when i ran to were i died they hadnt destroyed the flag and the boss was still standing there, so lol^^

Comment by 75987

i'm 1 hunter lvl 27...and i done this quests sollo.watch my video and u will see :P http://youtube.com/watch?v=qjpqeP9vo5U ;)

Comment by 88384

I had to wait for it to turn green and solo this quest since I wasn't in Ashenvale too often, but as a 32 (enh) shammy you can pull it off with a mana pot, heal pot, and good use of totems. It might even be easier than that, but that's what it took for me.

Basically throw down a mana spring, then use Stoneclaw whenever it's off CD and there's a new mob spawn. He'll go straight for the totem and let you fight one at a time. I popped a mana pot as soon as I hit 50%, then used the heal pot for the 3 way fight when the boss spawns. Kill slow and fight less mobs.

Comment by 32660

Soloable as a level 24 afflic lock.

Threw down the standard, and had my void tank the 2 furbolgs. Make sure you switch targets from time to time to keep aggro on both. I just Health Funneled until the Chief showed up, kept him at near full health. Both of the two adds died once in the meantime BTW, it takes awhile but a void can kill things lol. Anyway once the chief showed up i put the void on him, dotted, and shadowbolted him to death. Void almost died during this so I Sacrificed the void, dotted the 2 adds and ran around til they died.

800 hps, 1200 mana, +54 shadow damage. Easy if you are smart about it.

Comment by Crazytroll

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3456 helps alot with this quest, the dog that you summon can be the third player to this quest if you only have two people. I did this quest as a 25 warlock with a 23 paladin and the dog and we didn't die once and the dog cleared all the aggro back up the path

Comment by Kremonte

Also confirming this; any class with a reappliable CC can solo this, and I'm sure others can too. I just did it solo as a 25 mage (the "normal" way, with a 28 rogue, ended in disaster after I ran OOM and his health ran low). I figure some simple strategies would be a nice addition.
I also noticed while doing this quest that, at the path just out of the area a few paces north there is a log, and if something goes wrong, you can go up the path and jump onto the log pretty easily - this will evade both mobs, and unless you can get back quickly and get them off the banner, it will die... but you won't!

When Murgut spawned, unsure that it was a consequence of the mob being at full health, but one of the two mobs I was fighting despawned.

Mage - this one's obvious, and it helps (a lot) if you're frost. The two mobs will spawn, sheep one of them, and kite the other. Rank 1 frostbolt is your friend; it slows, and can proc frostbite. Use debuff timers if you have them so you don't waste mana. I recommend bringing at least a lesser mana pot.

Warlock- this one's obvious too, just abuse fears. Make sure the local area is completely cleared or you're in for some bad news; keep out a voidwalker just in case, for the extra tank and for a sacrifice. I recommend fear juggling using rank 1; try not to spam it too much or you will run oom, but don't aggro extra adds! Alternatively, you can use your VW to tank both of them and just spam health funnel and bandage.

Rogue - trickier, but doable. I couldn't do this until 28 on my rogue, which lessened the mobs beating up on me (and also saved me on the boss.) Don't pop evasion until the boss spawns; if you can sap at the beginning, do it, and crippling kite the other. If you want, put crippling on both hands, but at least have it on your main hand. My suggestion would be to abuse the log at the top of the path; kite one down, evade it back, run to the totem and restart. You may need to blow sprint on that, but that's fine. With gouge and crippling, you shouldn't need it to escape.

Warrior - not sure if this is doable; bring a health pot. Try to keep hamstring up on both mobs, and when your health dips below half, use your fear and bandage. Worst case, you can run to the log, evade them, chase them back, charge one of them, then tab -> swing or thunderclap to get them off of the totem. It's not a problem here if you kill them as a side effect of the kiting, just don't drop too much health.

Hunter - incredibly simple, really. Try to keep one spam trapped, and have your pet on the other. Make sure that your pet has all of its non-growl spells OFF autocast, to keep the mobs alive. It would also help to have your pet have aggro on the trapped mob, so between casts you won't get hit, and you can continue spamming mend pet. Then you can distracting shot -> trap the add, and repeat.

Unfortunately, I'm in doubt that a priest, paladin, or shaman could solo this. A druid might be able to, but it would be very hard, and you wouldn't need a guide if you can pull that off.

Comment by 100620

Soloed on a 24 hunter...quest geared, no twink. All you have to do is take the mobs down to 1-5% health then put your pet on passive and heal him while one beats on him. Chain freezing trap one to keep the damage down. I had to bandage as well as mend pet. As soon as King pops, kill adds and focus on king. Take along enough bandages and a health pot, and you can do it. Not easy by any means, but doable.

Comment by Koshut

soled it with a lvl 27 BM hunter pretty easy i must say too

Comment by 102263

If you're in trouble when Murtug spawns just run out of combat. The 2 adds will despawn, but Murtug will stay up for a bit. Then just go back in and solo him.

Comment by 102716

i just completed this quest as a 25 druid, lots of heals in between, best to keep the 2 mobs at low health rather than kill 4, cc probably only option, finish the 2 mobs off, kill murgut :)

Comment by 76643

Just solo'ed this as a 27 undead priest and it was actually quite easy.

Start by clearing the surrounding area of all mobs so you can psychic scream, without it there is little chance you will survive. Bubble youself and place the banner. When the mobs show up let them beat on you for a while until your bubble breaks. Psychic scream them and rebubble. If you start to get low throw a renew on yourself. Do this for about 2 minutes and then when murgot shows up dot him up while continuing to fear. As soon as you have the 2 running again finish off murgot and run until you are out of combat. go pick up your totem and get some xp =)

Comment by 106253

Druid lvl 24 - easy going:

1) Don't use thorns
2) Kick in the flag and start pummeling one foe until he has like 10% of his HP left, then the other one.
3) Stay around the flag and heal yourself for the next 90-120 seconds, I think. Your mana should be fine
4) When you see the "boss" coming, use thorns and quickly finish off the 2 foes
5) Kill the lvl 26 noob and you're done, very easy :)

Comment by 110777

Level 27 Druid;
I read that he was on a timer, so I got the two foulwealds down to 5%, then shifted into bear form and hit them with Demoralizing Roar every time it wore off. After about 3 minutes I realized they must have changed it, so I shifted cat and owned them, but quickly got overwealmed thanks to a lag spike. But when I got back there was a Furbolg on the mound named "Unknown". I killed him and he spawned the totem basket.

Odd, but it worked out well.

Comment by moose

Solo'd 29 feral druid. just pop out of bear, warstomp (horde ftw), and heal.

Comment by 111366

Here's a nice little trick for all melee based classes with an attack that hits two targets at once.

1) Put down the flag

2) Use your ability (Cleave or what have you)

3) Bring the two mobs back away from the mound and try to kill them at about the same time.

4) After the last one is done, drink/eat up quick!

5) While you are getting health and mana back, the two respawns will attack the flag. Allow this for a few seconds to get your health back. Having the best food available for your level helps here

6) Repeat until Boss comes

I used this method as a 29 warrior, when the quest was already green to me. I previously wiped just trying to hold the mound and take them there.

Comment by 76969

soloed as a 29 undead shadow priest

made sure touch of weakness was on both enraged furbolgs

mind blast and mind flay to get them both low on health

I then used psychic scream, when the furbolgs get back power word: shield.
By the time the shield was down psychic scream was ready again

Keep up inner fire and use renew as needed.

When boss gets there finish off the 2 near dead ones and kill the chief.

When I finished I had almost no mana left, you might wanna bring a pot.

Comment by 91916

solo'd as a 26 marks hunter without any cc or pots, just kept pet constantly mended and split the damage with my pet when it was getting low, came out oom and we were both low on health but it's very doable :p

Comment by decoy26517

Completed solo with a lvl25 pally without any problems. They might of nerfed the difficulty of this quest in patch 2.3 because previous comments stated that this was very difficult to solo or was best done with 2 people, it is no longer that way.

Comment by 113683

I didn't know that the Foulweald would always be 2, so I kept killing them in hope for the "real" one to spawn. After like, 20 Fouldweald I was oom and 40% hp, then 2 shamans luckily came by to rescue me. So keep in mind, CC is the way to do this, if you're doing it solo, that is!

Comment by Aerandul

Just solo'd as a 24 Enhancement Shaman, not brilliantly geared, no potions, no used items. I can confirm that the Chief is till on a timer of about 2.5 minutes, as my totems went down a little before he appeared. I went as follows:

1) Buff yourself up (You can use lightning shield, but don't renew it). Plant totems (I chose strength of earth, healing wave and searing to begin with, then used stoneclaw to allow me to focus on one mob at a time).

2) Plant Banner.

3) Bring the two enraged furbolgs to 10/5%, then cut your DPS. You may think "Oh god! Now I'll die!" but they can be successfuly kited around the mound using earthbind totem, allowing you to regen mana and use Lesser Healing Wave to top yourself up.

4) After 2/ 2.5 minutes of the banner, the Chief will spawn. Immediately drop the two furbolg and focus on him. While he doesn't hit that hard, you may be low on mana, so check yourself beforehand.

5) Profit. (Don't forget to loot the basket!)

--Druhina, Argent Dawn Shaman--

Comment by 94309

As an alternative stategy: Log onto your main or some higher level character, slaughter the furbolgs and the Chief, then log back onto your character with the quest and loot the totem basket that spawns to complete the quest - hassle free.

Comment by The013

Soloed this as 26 rogue. Attacked the bears that spawned then kited them around the mound, Gouging and using Riposte whenever I had the chance. Used healing potions, Sprint, and Really Sticky Glue when things got nasty. When chief appeared, used Evasion and Blood Fury. After you kill him, Vanish, let the bears despawn and loot the totem.

Comment by kinje

Soloed as a 25 Rogue. Put crippling poison on both hands, slowed both foulweald as needed to kite them around. Bandaged occasionally. When Murgut arrived, I popped vanish, which instantly despawned the two guards. Ambushed Murgut, killed him with almost no loss of life.

Comment by 118691

I did this as a level 27 fury warrior. Very hard and at one point i THOUGHT i died but i had like 1% left.

Im well geared 312 power, 1234 hp (food buffed), and i was dual wielding.

Before you do anything clear the area. Intim shout and the run i mention can screw you if theres adds.

Ok first of all you need to pot early. I did NOT pot early i potted around 40% i should have potted a bit earlier. Anyway make sure to use Demo shout and Thunder Clap regularly. Also keep rend up on both targets (NOT AT THE SACRIFIC OF DPS). Dont use execute that was one mistake i made.

There will almost always be two enemies so save Intim shout. Use it when you low. Stop attacking and bandage up (i used heavy silk if your using wool you can do this period). Another thing is to HAMSTRING right before you intim shout. That way they will walk back slowly. Finish up the mob your fighting and then kill the one coming back.

This is when i got dicey. After 1 more mob i was low on health. I suggest you wait out the bandaged debuff and the use piercing howl (again im fury). Run away from the mound and bandage up a bit. The mobs will stop following you soon and then hit the pillar. Run back (health pot should still be on CD unfortunately).

The level 26 mob should be up now and the other seemed to dissapear or i killed them (remember keep rend up). Kill it (shouldnt be hard at all after bandaging). I killed it and left.

Comment by Zeraph

Soloed at lvl 27, hunter with dps cat lvl 27 Too good :D

Comment by 121946

Solod as a 25 belf priest, kind of hard but doable =)

Comment by alkaline

Very easy as a 27 Shaman: equip a shield and 1h, drop Stoneskin and Healing Stream totem and tank the first two mobs until the guy you have to kill appears. Kill all three, and that's it.

Comment by flaym

VERY easily soloed as a 28 rogue, could have done it sooner.

How you ask? By Cheating! /blush

You can very easily do an Evade Exploit by jumping to the large drum next to the hill.

Plant totem, aggro both furbies, and then jump to the drum. You might need to reposition a couple times to make sure they can't hit you. Once they run back towards the totem, then you know you've got it right. At this point, don't panic, they will not destroy it. Instead they stand there and reaggro to you repeatedly. Twiddle your thumbs for a while... make some bandages... you've got about 2.5 minutes to kill.

The boss will spawn, and run to the totem, probably hitting you along the way. Wait a couple more moments and all 3 of them will reset. The two spawns will despawn, and the boss runs off and politely stands to the side, waiting to be killed.

Humor his death wish, collect the totem from the dropped basket, and go to claim your shiny new vest.

Comment by 133486

found a really easy method for a priest. soloed at lvl28 but it should be doable at lvl 26

steps:
-clear the nearest mob around so you dont aggro them
-plant banner, cast power word shield, wait for the mobs...
-and run around the mount for 2 mins! while keeping refreshing the shield and occasionnaly casting HoT on yourself and shadow word pain on the mobs (just be careful not to throw one that might kill em when they are low on health)

the hit rate while they are pursuing you is so low that your regen take over the cost of your shield easily. so you have full mana and full health when the boss shows up. I even survived an assault of a wandering protector (lvl35 elite) while finishing off the boss.

the trick for this method to work perfectly is to make your pursuers run into the various objects placed around the mount. it will mess with their pathfinding and leave you unharmed for a few second until they reach you again.

Comment by Slavac

i was lucky enough to loot it from another group's basket. when the boss dies he drops an item on the floor that anyone, even out of group, can loot. good luck!

Comment by 35640

experienced an odd bug with this quest. when i dropped the banner i got stick inside of it! i could fight but i couldn't move, so don't stand dead center on the hill when you place it.

Comment by Laurathos

Soloed as a lvl 26 warrior without any sort of problems.
It's very simple, you aggro both mobs and start running counter-clock wise around the hill where you plant the banner. The mobs will follow some a bit different routes and you therefore run faster than them, so slow down for a sec or two if you get too far ahead of them.

When the boss spawned I ran up and used Retaliation (Here you could just use the die and kill on spawn trick).

Very simple, did cost me a single hp pot but was very soloable.

Comment by 155063

patch 2.4.2

Soloed as a lvl 27 feral druid, the fight is hard and i died with the final boss but i was able to get the totem before i die. I suposse that if u're a hunter or a warloc this could be easy. Good luck

Comment by Raelisa

Solo'd as a lvl 24 Ret pally. Very easy and nice xp.

Just slap one down to 30%, swap to the 2nd and do the same, Seal of Command should be about expired by then. Get a couple more attacks on each and you'll need to bubble at that point. Use divine protection (8 second bubble), cast 2 holy lights and start your kite. Being ret, you get pursuit of justice (+15% movement speed) and the last second of the bubble gives you enough head start to not get dazed.

Stay out of melee and ahead of the two mobs kiting wide around the base of the mound. The movement speed boost will keep you well out of reach until the boss finally spawns after about 4 minutes. Make sure you are using Blessing of Wisdom and pop down a consecrate for them to run through and slowwwwwwly take down their health.

When the chief finally spawns, slap each mob once to kill it, and take him on. Easy fight.

Comment by Rontti

I was able to solo this as a level 27 fury warrior. I died on the first time, as I didn't have a clue of what to do. On the second try I equipped a shield and popped defensive stance. Spamming shield block, taking the occasional potion and fear+bandage helped me survive to see and kill Murgut.

Comment by Saldor

just soloed this on my 25 druid, a tactic is too keep killing them untill the boss appears and when he does run out of his agro range and deagro him, heal up and go kill him. A nice and easy tactic for me

Comment by 105069

Keep in mind that the Wandering Protector http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12836 patrols into the area.

I was happily soloing the quest until the huge tree showed up and owned me :(

Comment by 127294

I soloed this as a 27 Druid, used bear form and used Demoralizing Roar, to reduce the damage they did to me, and swiped to damage them both so that if/when the boss came I'd be able to take the add down quick. When one add died I popped out of bear form and healed and then went back. When the boss came however I used War Stomp, and healed. I could have just healed though I just wanted to be safe. Hope this helps.

Comment by Fenald

Easily solo'd as any char the mobs run slow while waiting for like the 2 minutes for him to respawn I kited both of them untouched multiple ways on a rogue with no speed boosts of any kind.

First I just ran in a big circle around the thing np they can't catch you but I got some respawns so I just got them both on 1 side of the log and piller kited them around the log.

No reason any class shouldn't be able to solo this, I had full HP when the boss spawned.

Comment by Saroz

As a druid, switch to Cat Form and kite to two adds around at low HP, and wait for the boss to spawn - once he does, finish off the adds and then the boss.

Comment by DonSleza4e

Easy soloed as 29 mage

Frost Nova + Blink to keep 2 bears away from you.
Do circles around the totem:)
After ~2 mins King will spawn. Easy kill.

Comment by 166789

There is a bug that if you place the totem while your dead in the middle, you will be stuck in a first-person view and wont be able to melee attack.

Comment by pond

Possibly one of the funniest quests I have done... The secret to this quest is Furbolgs are basically fat, lazy, clumsy and stupid.

Firstly, find some Benny Hill "chase" music. Stand on top of the mound, activate the quest and start the music.

Immediately start running around the perimeter of the mound, the two initial furbolgs will follow you like fat kids after a donut. Now Furbolgs being fat, stupid and clumsy, will trip over all the cages, buildings, logs, flags and other detritus these slobs leave laying around their camp. Just keep circling the mound, at times you will even have to pause for a second or two to let the fat kids catch up.

You can quite successfully run round and round the mound for the two minutes it takes for the "boss" fat kid... oops, I mean Furbolg to spawn, without getting hit.

Its about now you run to the top of the mound, and kill the boss and the two ads and stop the music. Me being a rogue, I just popped evasion, killed the biggest fat kid and vanished, completed.

Hillarious.

Soloed as 27 paladin. Easy really. Devotion Aura, Blessing of Wisdom and shield. Took the first two down to 5% and let them beat on me until the quest guy spawned, throwing heals when needed. I used pots and HoJ early to have the CD finished before the fight was over but I didn't really need them again.

Comment by 168090

Easily soloable by anyone really, if you stand on the Keg/drum they will aggro on you but evade and will continue doing so forever, when the Chief spawns he's gonna aggro you also dont attack yet if you want to take the Chieftan alone, wait for him to reset, he will run back then just hop onto him. this was how i did it on a lvl 27 rogue

Comment by 174434

25 Feral Druid - I completed this quest by staying in bear form and healing when needed, i had reached all the way up to Murgut and died.... *add swear words here*.. When i went back to my body Murgut was still there. So if this happens to you dont worry, he wont de spawn by the time u get there :)

Comment by Shapeman

With my lvl 29 enhancement shammy heres what i did.The first time i tried and died a wave or two before the chief appeared.The second time i used the Dog Whistle from SM.(some guildies were running me through SM lib for the gloves he drops and the first time he dropped the whistle)The tracking Hound was doing about 29 damage per hit and was able to tank an add if the next one appeared.But just the hound was enough to help along with a mana stream totem and the occasional stoneclaw totem.

Heres a link to my shammy in the armory: Gorbakastan Daggerspine

I soloed as a 26 lock.

What I did:

-Cleared immediate area. Don't have to clear people too far away from the mound.
-Had void out, feared adds for quite a while (just two of them).
-Fought them, got them down quite a bit of health (20-30%), feared them again
-Had void kill one, when he died Murgot showed up. Void died, sac'd him and killed Murgot and the remaining add while shielded.

If it's on a timer, just fear until Murgot shows up. Bring plenty of pots if you have lowish health or mana. I never had any trouble with my mana though.

Comment by 45547

I totally put the banner down exactly where I was standing and got stuck inside it :(

don't do that.

Comment by nusmesa

If you really cant find another guy. Use this:

(rogue) Ran around the mound with the 2 following me... till the boss appeard.
Died. The boss didnt dissapear. He destroyed the flag. Stealth around him.
Sap. Flag up again. Killed him then took the basket. Q complete.

Comment by 193596

Well I'm not sure how this happened... but I guess sombody killed murgut before me, and since I was on the quest, I could loot the totem. I didnt have to kill anybody and I could loot the totem. Sweet.

Comment by 204984

I soloed this as a level 26 hunter. It was pretty east 2 mobs run, multiple times, up kill one and trap other. When the boss comes you can run away and health up before attacking him he won't disappear. I used 2 health pots and one bandage but other than that pretty easy. Just remember to kill surrounding mobs before you place the banner down

Comment by 206846

just soloed this as a lvl 26 pally, Kremonte, wasn't difficult at all, and i killed about 7 of the adds before i saw the boss. popped one bubble on the 4th guy, then when the boss came out i switched to Ret aura, popped my loh, then beat on him til he died and let the adds kill themselves.

Comment by DudMasta

Soloed with lvl 25 Pally. Cost me a bandage / a lesser mana pot / LoH / BoP & DP.

Comment by 208626

Solo'd as a 25 Feral Druid, with both points in Feral swiftness, kiting the guys around the mound until the King spawned in Cat Form, then burned them down. I recommend getting them to about 10% before kiting, as they walk ALOT slower, and are then easier to kill at the end.

Comment by 119801

Solo'd as a 26 warrior, no special twinky gear or anything. Just make sure the area is clear, then plant the banner.

Two guys show up, bloodrage and hamstring the both of them, then run in a large circle around the camp re-hamstringing them as they catch up to you. Potion when/if you reach half-health while kiting. Keep your fear, wait until the king shows up. Fear the two schmucks you've been leading around, then burn down the king. Bandage if you have the time (I didn't) then finish off the two when they come back or evade them away.

Comment by Keyzzz

26 enh shammy in greens, solo'd.
started off with stoneskin, mana spring and lightning shield. frostbranded my 2h in case i'd need the snare. burn'd em down to 20%ish as fast as possible, dropped an earthbind and heal stream and ran in circles around the hill. when the earthbind ran out, i dropped another one on the center of the hill. did this 4 or 5 times.

when the king came out, i dropped a stoneclaw for the king and polished off the two. finished off the king, slashdanced, and yelled 'iPwn'.

easy peasy. no pots. no strange trinkets. just outoftheboxthinking. pure pwnage.

i DID have to heal myself once.

Comment by 224027

Anyone with a range weapon can win this easy. Just wait till they attack the totem, range 1, then range the other. Run up the hill to the road and they will run back just before you reach it to attack the totem again. Make sure your paying attention and are right on their heals so when they start attacking again you can repeat. Then after about 2 minutes or so when the Boss comes they will dissapear if youve timed it right and they are full health & not in combat with you. Kill the boss, very easy by himself and take your loot.

Comment by fairytale

just made it with my lvl 26 Rogue.
Crippling Poison on both weapons is essential. Plant the banner and stealth to sap one of the two mobs that spawn. Then hit the other one and kite him 'til sap breaks. Kiting two mobs is just a bit harder, depending on your poison proc rate. one sinister strike, then pop slice and dice up and try to apply the poison to both targets, then run around the hill. when both mobs are poisoned and your health is down, use bandages. Using sprint can help kiting or save you when your HP are low and one or both ob the mobs aren't poisoned. it's best to keep evasion for the boss and a healing potion at hand.

When trying this taktik, I missed my first sap target and aggro'd a pathfinder that forced me to use vanish - still had no problem doing it.

Comment by 231894

soloed as a 26 level priest. i used the power word shield only. mobs appeared(only 2) .i ran like 2 minutes. they chased me. than murgut appeared. i died eventually. because my mana was very low. i ran back to murgut from the graveyard. he was there alone. so i easily killed him and took the totem.

Comment by 208407

Note: You must keep the flag from being destroyed.

Comment by 208103

Something strange happened when I tried to do this quest. I put the banner down and killed the first 3 adds, then died. When I ran back, the chief was just standing there. I killed him and got the totem thing.

Comment by 222832

Seems impossiple as a rogue :_: Especially if you have no other healing sources than bandage.

Comment by 215071

my voidwalker died just as Murgut spawned, which meant him, and the two adds were after me. So I ran away until I lost aggro, which made the two adds despawn, then I resummoned my voidwalker, mannad up and then killed Murgut no problems.

Comment by 255191

Just soloed with a 27 Rogue in good gear. Cost me a HP, a bandage and a lifeblood. Killed the waves, then killed the boss - he is the easy part. Had crip poison on both blades.

Comment by jonhassan

Just soloed as a 27 prot warrior. There aren't simply two foulwealds on you during this quest, sometimes there are upwards of three. Be careful using fear as this may also draw adds to you (if you haven't cleared the area). Used a Healing Potion and a silk bandage (bandaged by running away until they broke and evaded to the banner. Charged back in after that, took about two shield block pops and one intimidating shout. After that, Murgut is a cakewalk.

Comment by 80884

Easily soloable by most any class.
Taking the two initial mobs to low health causes them to run very slowly. You can kite them for the few minutes before the king spawns and then just finish the two off and restore your health and mana before attacking the king.

P.S. The king is also kitable to the road, so if you happen to agro unwanted mobs you can kill him anywhere and he'll still drop the totem.

Comment by 277610

This is easy for Warrior.
Here's what you do, and what I did;
I'm a level 27 Tauren Warrior and I did this alone.

Okey you start off by

Kill all the nearby Foulweads in the closest area to the totem

Plant the flag on the hill

Two Foulweads will come for you, make them go after and follow you, strike them

Don't kill them, then start running around the totem ground in a circle (passing the small fires, just outside of the totem)

Keep running without trying to hit anybody. The Foulweads will follow you, if they hit you, just use war stomp, wait, and then keep running around in a circle, waiting the Chief out

After about 3 minutes, the Chief will come, when he does, just start pounding away with everything you've got, retaliation on that chief, use a health potion at this time if you need to, Rend him and kill him, don't mind the two Foulweads beating you while you do it

When you've killed the Chief, it doesn't matter if the two others kill you, the lantern with the quest item will still be there when you resurrect

That is how you do this quest in an easy way, as a Warrior.

Comment by 173293

I soloed this as a lvl 26 balance druid, but I think there was a bug. I did as Takeout said, but when Murgut spawned I died - Without having killed any mobs. Ofc I ran back to my corpse and then I saw Murgut standing on the hill, without the other two mobs!
Quick mb and then a dead Murgut.

Comment by 252483

Dont Delete the banner after you got the totem... you need it to complete the quest.
i deleted the banner to empty some slots then foundout the harsh truth :p

Just did it with a lvl 23 Enc "Shaman" , the trick is to have Water shield and Stoneskin totem up , and heal urself with Lesser healing wave while you wait for the chief. bring the adds down to 100 HP(using Auto attack , you need to save ur mana here) , then when chief comes , blow the adds with a FireNova totem. and then taking chief alone is rly easy.

Comment by 300594

Easily done as a 27 rogue with a 25 mage. Polymorph one while we both attack the other then move on to the other and repeat till Murgut showed up. Killed him easily, he dropped a glowing basket. We both were able to loot the totem from the basket. Very quick. Trickier solo but still doable. Confirmed coordinates - (56,63)

Comment by 195614

This can be easily solo'd if you just mess with the 2 mobs at the start. Don't kill them yet. Just engage them so they're after you, run away until you're out of combat, run back and stop them from destroying the flag, repeat. After 3 minutes or so, the chief comes and just stands around. So take care of the 2 mobs, eat and drink, then kill the chief.

Comment by 304412

This quest couldn't have been any easier to solo as a 24 sub specced rogue. I planted the banner, immediately stealthed and headed to almost the bottom of the south side of the hill (i stepped back because of the ¿aura? that these two have that can bring you out of stealth)... anyways stand near the bottom. When they get to the top of the hill sap one. you can only keep one sapped at a time but it seems that they just stand there for a few seconds after coming out of sap. So just alternate the sap between them until the boss appears. The two mobs dissapeared for me at this point, i down the boss in a few seconds and bam. hope it helps someone.

Comment by crowface28

solo'd as a 27 priest. epic fight, won in the end. wo0t wo0t. psychic scream over and over, have an epic wand to conserve mana and shield over and over... and for the love of god, kill the surrounding mobs before you start, they cost me dearly.

Comment by 34382

Another option: assume it's an easy quest, don't read any of this first, use your Heirloom weapon(s) and shoulders, one-shot it, think "wtf that was hard", then come read this text.

I really advise the heirloom weapon part.

Comment by pnukup

A good tactic for this Quest is:
1. Get a friend to help you.
2. ?
3. Profit

Comment by extazor

Note: Even if you die, there is a chance of the chief spawning (First though you have to hold out for a couple minutes fighting the side spawns).

Hope this happens to more people like it did to me.

Comment by 3325

I just solo'd this as a 27 shaman without cheesing it using the "keep them alive till the spawn timer on the chief is up".

To be honest though, if I'd known about the ~~exploit method~~ creative use of game mechanics, I might have tried that ;-)

As a shaman, the way to do is:

1) keep watershield up
2) put down stoneclaw totem every time it's available
3) heal yourself only when you've killed one mob, and before the next one arrives. The pushback is to much otherwise and you'll be overwhelmed. Use lesser healing wave to maximize non-pushed-back time
4) have a health pot available, preferably a "greater". I only had a regular, but I'm an herbalist, so I got a heal from that

That's it - it wasn't very easy to do this as as 27, but it certainly was a ton of fun actually getting through it!

Comment by 315915

I just do this quest whit my lvl 23 pally retri, i kill all the adons but in the end they kill me but the king stay so i walk and kill him easy ;)

Comment by 331395

Soloed this easily as a 27 priest.

I had two spawns on me the entire time (the 1st and second spawn together, but the third then fourth spawns), I burned through lifeblood and pots before I realized I would have to bail, so I feared the two mobs and ran. After I ran out of sight, the mobs despawned and the banner was on the hill alone, so I drank and then Murgut appeared all by himself, so I just killed him.

Comment by Kobzol

soloed by fury warrior... i just killed the adds till the boss appeared, then run out of combat, adds disappeared, fa, came back and killed the chief. Used 1 healing pot.

Comment by Caitria

It sounds like I did the wrong thing... lol... I ended up killing 8 of the enraged mobs + the chief as a solo level 25 shaman in crappy gear... I just used Healing Wave + Water Shield.... Got close to dying a couple times... Didn't realize I could have just let the 2 other mobs just pound on me for a while...

Comment by Rhaga

just did this on my level 27 warrior on first try, only healing taken is from 2 bandages

(you may jump directly to 3 if prefered)

1) Hamstring both mobs
2) Jump over one of the ledges, then run to both sides. It'll be just like kids chasing each other around a table.
If kiting fails (which it nearly inevitably will), then hamstring both mobs again, and jump over the ledge on the opposite side, and eventually use a bandage (will make it at full duration).
3)At some point the mobs' health will turn low, try not to kill them, at about 50 hp they will start running slower, and kiting them should be a breeze.
4) after 3 minutes has passed, the king should spawn, pop CDs and finish him and his adds off

Good luck :)

Comment by 186835

As an FYI, don't bother killing the adds. They respawn instantly and come after you each time you kill them, just CC them and keep yourself alive until the chief shows up.

Comment by gangrel

As hunter, I wait 'til I had Frost Trap (Level 28). After placing the banner I ran to the south side of the hill, and waited for the enraged furbolgs to appear. I hit them each with a Scorpid Sting, let them run toward me, and dropped the Frost Trap. From there I just ran circles around the hill, dropping Frost Trap again as need, 'til the king appeared. I peeled off the two enraged mooks and killed them, then took down the king.

Comment by Schnoodledorfer

Although the quest text does not mention it, you must return the banner in addition to Murgut's Totem. If you destroy the banner in order to save bag space once you have the totem, you can't complete the quest.

Comment by 52879

pretty easy did it as a 25 retradin
put on ur devitation aura
get blessing of wisdom
spam jugdement of wisdom and ur done
didnt have use pots or anything just holy light

Comment by 292410

soloed today as an 25 shaman. used water shield, searing totem, flametongue weapon, healing stream totem, and frost shock. when i got a furbolg to low health i removed fire totem and then put earthbind totem and ran around until chieaf cam. then i put fire nova totem and finished chief

Comment by 167663

For Shamans:

I soloed this as Enhance at level 26 with moderate ease. The trick is to be able to use Stoneclaw to grab the mob(s) you aren't fighting while you pick off your target. Also use Fire Nova totem for AoE goodness! I kept up Water Shield throughout the fight and constantly healed myself with Lesser Healing Wave. I didn't even have a mana totem, and was not using a shield. You should be fine.

Comment by 363210

i was actually able to solo this as a 26 mage tho...lets just say sheep/frost nova + bandage=good

Comment by 153915

Very, very easy as a shaman. Just pop your Stoneskin and Healing Stream totem and use your Water Shield. Keep healing and dps the mobs till they are at around 2%. Keep healing when they are on that level of hp, don't touch them anymore till he comes. Kill the 2 adds and kill them.

Simply as that..

(I was a lvl 25 Shaman)

Comment by leeeo

Soloed as a lvl 27 druid.

Place the banner.
Dont bother to fight the two adds. Just run around the banner or kite if you can and keep healing yourself until the Chief spawn.
Run, yes I say run once the Chief appears. Run far enough so they stop chasting you.
Heal yourself if necessary.
Run back to the banner and the Chief will be there waiting for you. The adds are all gone.
You should have no problem killing the Chief now.

Comment by ajfonty

ALL ROGUES, LISTEN UP - there's a nice and easy way to do this quest.

Simple: place the totem, and go stealth instantly (vanish if necessary). Then, when the mobs begin attacking the banner, sap them. That'll stop their attack, and keep you in stealth, so they will not attack you. (I had Dirty Tricks talent, which helped alot). If they attack you while steathed, then vanish. Keep on alternating who you sap. Once they are unsapped, they will stand in place for about 20 seconds before attacking the banner again, which gives you time to regain energy and sap them again.

Eventually, the chief will appear, then you simply kill him.

Very easy quest.

Comment by 234632

Soloed this quest as a level 24 enhancement shaman. All you have to do is keep your water shield up and keep Stoneclaw totem up as much as possible and ofcourse don't forget to heal.

Comment by 426494

This quest is soloable as a 24 paladin, I used a Pot and Lay on hands and Divine protection
I killed all the adds that spawn easily

so it is indeed soloable as pally.....

Yeah and i was a Retri pally, ended with 800/1100hp and 400/800 mana

easy....

Comment by 414216

In this quest i was having some truble to understant wat u guys where saying then i quit guide myself with the comments because i couldn't use the banner, then i looked in front and i saw the chief murgut, i thought lets kill this guy and the token was in the drops...
(I don't know if i had luck or if it apears at the first drop to every1).

Comment by 436136

easy soloed at a 27 frost mage with better than average gear

keep on polyed then get the other to low health and kite him
make sure the other stays polyed

i use one healing potion and i have the glyph that makes evoction heal u i used that once
when the king spawns use blizzard to kill the one with low health and to damage the king then kill him
when the polyed on comes back run with mana sheild till u leave combat then go and get the totem

Comment by 368042

Duo'd, 22 lock and 25 rogue (me). We burned them down, the VW tanking one mob while we killed others until it died (lock was at too low hp from a pathfinder that aggro'd us to use funnel) We both died once lol, but we finally killed the Chief. :D Was very mess and hard, but fun.

Comment by 67659

My tactic was:

1) I planted the banner.
2) I waited until the first two Foulwealds came, then I jumped onto the barrel.
3) The Foulwealds attacked the banner and then disappeared with the banner.
4) I repeated step 1 and 2.
5) I waited until the Foulwealds disappeared and then Murgut came.
6) I jumped down from the barrel and killed Murgut.

I tried this a few times but it apperently didn't work, but I found out a much much easier way to do this.

1) Plant the banner on the top of the hill.
2) Jump up on the barrel thing to the east.
3) 2 mobs will spawn, they will go evade since they now can't attack you.
4) Wait. After 3 exact after you've planted the banner Murgut will spawn.
5) What will happend now is the hard part. The 2 mobs will despawn, and Murgut will start running away. What you need to do is to attack Murgut after the 2 mobs has despawned but before he has despawned himself.
6) Kill him. it's just one lvl 26 mob.
7) Loot the green glowing totem.
8) Turn in the quest.

Edit for clearify.

Angry teddybears are angry!

Comment by jyrque

I soloed this with a lvl 25 tauren shaman. It wasn't too hard. I cleared the immediate area of the mound of furbolgs. I planted the banner with Stoneskin and Healing Stream totems.

The enraged furbolgs that attack aren't that hard to beat, they are all level 23-24 regular mobs of the area. They have a chance to give a 10-sec-long disease that decreases your strength by 10 but it doesn't really matter with shaman, when your shock attacks are the key to dealing damage. Note that I used Lightning Shield for convenience when my mana was +60% but changed to Water Shield if it went below.

What's challenging is keeping up your health. With two mobs mauling you it might be difficult to get effective healing done so you need to concentrate on taking out at least one mob at a time. When there's just one left, it's easy to heal yourself.

After a while of doing this, the boss Murgut appears but he is just another level 26 mob with no special abilities.

Now here's the important part: when Murgut dies he drops a totem object into the area. You don't loot required quest item from the corpse, you use the totem object. I could imagine someone just sighing 'FINALLY!' and leaving the area with quickly shift-clicking the corpse and be disappointed when he realizes the quest isn't done.

Comment by 344400

Do you people really read all these "How I soloed quest everyone solos" comments? Like, only thing you need to know is: keep the two first spawns alive and possibly cc'd until Murgut spawns and then kill them (or kill only Murgut and run but that's unnecessarily complicated).

Comment by 428249

As a heirloomed level 25 druid all I did was placed the totem, ran around the hill 20 times and when Murgut spawned I healed and went into bear, killed both adds, then used Nature's Grasp. Ran away and healed fully then used Cat Form to finish off Murgut.

Comment by taurehe

I did this as a lvl 27 demonology warlock quite easily

i read the posts above that said 2 stand on the barrel but i didnt think i would need that coz my void would take all the hits. So just i put down tha totem and and got rdy. 2 furlbogs came and killed em easy. then another 2, killed them , then another 2 beat them, then another 2 came and by this time my void was nrly dead so i decided 2 try the strategy of jumping on the barrel.

i jumped on tha barrel then dismissed my void the 2 bogs just stared at me for about a min then despawned. Then the boss came so i jumped down real quick and put curse of agony on him. then i realised i didnt have my void so i feared him (and this is wen the demonology spec helped) activated fel domination and out came void in 5 secs for half the mana on full health. Boss came back and had pulled a totemic wen he was feared. Made quik work of them both :D

Hope this helps any other locks :)

Comment by 452469

Went oddly for my 26 feral druid. Killed the first two adds, and got killed by the second two. After a short run back, the boss had spawned. The flag was still there and the adds were gone, so I killed the boss, and still got the totem. Not sure if it was a fluke or not, but whatever works.

Comment by 458559

The boss cant destroy the flag!

So what I did, was that I got the two adds down to 10% after killing a few of them :P
Then just ran around the hill, since the mobs are very slow I didnt even have to slow or Frost Nova them again ...
When the boss came I got rly unlucky and a pathfinder spawned on me, as a lvl 25 fire mage with very little mana after killing a few to many mobs, I didnt have enough mana to kill the boss so I died! But before I did, my frost nova apparently killed the adds, and what I discoverd was that they dont keep spawning after the boss arrived, and he does not destroy the flag, so I just respawned, killed the Pathfinder, killed the boss. Looted the %^&* and ran happily away =)

Comment by 179292

This was hilarious for me (25 druid), I didn't know about the timer so I kept killing the waves in cat form. After about 9 furbags I finally die, corpse walk and there was Murgut (lvl 26 non-elite), waiting for me. :D

Comment by 173408

When mobs go low on health, they will slow down greatly.
I just hit them both (the first two mobs to appear once you trigger the event) to about 10 hp and ran around the camp as they could not catch me anymore.

Comment by Warluckey1

As lvl 26 fire mage...
1) Place the banner and 2 mobs spawn
2) Sheep 1 and keep him sheeped all the time
3) Kill the other 1
4) Dont forget nr. 2
5) A new 1 will spawn, kill him
6) Keep doing nr. 5 untill the king finaly shows up
7) Kill the king
8) /cheer

Remember nr. 2

Comment by 12652

Soloed at level 25, as a mage.

This quest is really difficult to perform straight out - if you just try to kill all the furbolgs as they spawn, you're doomed. Take as many down as you can, avoid being hit, keep them frozen and sheeped, etc. When the king spawns, *kite him*. If you get him up to the path, anything else you're fighting with will stop chasing you and you can just kill him at your leisure. I imagine similar strats would work for most classes.

Comment by kurtiffrig

Important note:

If you can't quite manage to stay alive through this long wave of enemies, it's not over.
Rez as quickly as possible and chances are you'll be able to finish off what you started.

Comment by Nothingbutdids

Just managed it as a 25 BM Hunter. Pet took bulk of the damage. Spammed Mend Pet. Lost him just as Margut spawned. Killed Margut seconds before getting killed myself. Ran back to my body, and just picked up the totem.

Comment by vartsika

DO NOT go stand exactly on top of mound flag will come on you and you will be stuck there happened to me with my hunter -.-

Comment by AnonymousX

Solo'ed with Hunter level 26 ok'ish gear, no traps required but requires quick clearing of mobs around quest area.

Here's how to do it:

Take out all the mobs like spiders, wolves around the mound all the way to the road. (Make sure you take them out quickly enough so they don't spawn later)
Activate Aspect of the Cheetah, run to the mound and place the banner and get out of there.
Set your pet to Passive.
Wait for furbolgs to attack the banner, hit each of them with 1 arrow and flee to the road direction, don't let them hit you.
When furbolgs stop following you, run to the mound and hit them again. (Hit & Run)
Repeat process 3-4 times and Murgut should spawn, also those 2 furbolgs will disappear.
Hit Murgut with everything you got and set your pet to attack him until he dies, he dies easily.

Comment by Etreum

As a 26 Feral Druid:

Planted totem.
When the first two mobs appeared, a quick moonfire each to get them after me and away from the totem.

After that, run around the mound using:

-Nature's Grasp
-Entagling Roots
-An occasional hit to keep them mad at me
-An occasional Rejuvenation (never really needed, but just to be at full)

When the chief appeared, I was at full health and the original two mobs were near death.

Changed to bear form and wiped them out.

Gotta say, doing this quest at 80 feels very satisfactory, as you emulate Broxigar on it.

you stand on a small hill, and kill fubolgs over and over, since u're at max lvl u can 1shot the 2 adds, so during those 3 min, A LOT of them will spawn, by the time the king actually shows up, the entire hill will be littered with corpses.

just like when brox assaulted the legion stronghold and killed a mountain of demons by himself

Comment by guywhoscool

Wow I don't understand what all the commotion is about. I just soloed this on lv 23 protection pally. Is it jsut me or was this not hard at all?

Comment by Elf22

Solo'd as a level 28 Arcane Mage. With the spells you have as a mage it's gonna be piece of cake do complete this quest.

First of all, use your instant casts as often as you can, for example Arcane Barrage, Ice Lance, Fire Blast in any order you want because we are aiming to activate Arcane Missiles which you will have to spam a lot.

The furbolgs will attack you one by one, do not let them live, kill them with the above combination.

After about 7-8 kills(I do not know the exact time, but it took me about 7 kills) the guy you aim for will spawn, use the same combination to kill him.

After he dies, a green basket will spawn RIGHT BESIDE HIM.
Loot that, get the quest item then turn in <3

Soloed as lvl 27 ass. rogue. Used instant poison on my weapons. Also used Elixir of minor accuracy (hit rating incr. by 10). Only used stealth once. QUICK & EASY, did not need to heal.

WHERE THE HELL IS THE TOTEM MOUND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR AN HOUR MAKE A YOUTUBE VIDEO PLEASE!

Comment by Whoisthiscook

Soloable as a lvl 24 Frost Mage, the whole fighting took me to ~400/1000 hp so be ready to freeze and Blink.

Comment by 933764

I soloed this as a level 27 warlock and this quest was super easy. I had my felguard out. I planted the banner on the mound then jumped on the log near by and picked them off 1 by one. Then Murgut came and I attacked him with my felguard and he was down. Easy Peasy!

Comment by okoon

How does one start this quest? I did the first in the series, but wasn't able to start this one.

Comment by 327600

The totem that is dropped stays on the ground for several minutes and can be looted by anyone who has the quest. If you happen to die you can just run back and it will still be there.

In my case, I passed by the mound while doing the previous quest Thinning the... Herd? and saw that an Alliance player had just finished. I completed the quest (I was not rushing), turned it in for the next one (this one), and proceeded to the mound again only to find the totem still there and able to be looted.

Once the Legion Expansion/Pre-Patch hits, Feral Vestment will be a newly added reward for this quest.

From my understanding of the new transmog rules in Legion, to get this chest piece you need to do that quest on a toon that wears mail armor.

On 7/15/2016 I completed this quest on a horde shaman on the Legion Beta, then logged on an alliance shaman and the chest transmog was available on both factions, even though it can only obtained from a Horde-only quest.

Comment by Seravy

I wanted the Cobalt Legguards for my Alliance plate wearer's transmogrify outfit but its a horde only quest. So I used my horde shaman to do the Thinning the... Herd? followed by the King of the Foulweald but it forced me to get the mail chest reward.

What I did instead was create a Trial Death Knight level 100, Finished the intro sequence, cancelled the scenario and flew across to Ashenvale and do those two quests. Log in my Alliance Paladin and I had it!

Comment by Coffeegirl

I did this quest today and all I had to do was pick up the totem. I didn't need to plant any banner... Is this a bug?

Comment by Lharzriyal

As of 9.0.1 the quest is bugged.

When you place the banner, it will randomly despawn mid fight without the furbolg successfully destroying it with their ability. This was tested on a max level character and a lvl 20 character, and the problem persisted on both.

I was able to work around this by simply pulling the first mob away from the mound entirely before it reached it, but NOT KILLING IT. Simply stand there and tank the damage away from the flag and the flag will remain and eventually the boss will come as intended.

Hope this helps!

Comment by Regalingual

Nothing I’ve tried from the advice on both versions of this quest since the Shadowlands prepatch launched has worked. Doesn’t matter if I kill them as soon as I see them, CC the first one and wait it out, let them attack the flag for a few seconds - the damn thing still despawns.

Comment by Radannical

What fixed it for me as a max level character was turning off warmode. For some reason with warmode on, the flag lasted exactly a minute which wasn't enough to spawn Murgut.

Comment by KiritaWindwalker

Still bugged. I tried tanking 1 and letting it hit.. still bugged..

I got it to work by killing the first 2, letting the third hit and stopping him, then tanking that one for like a minute. THAT worked!

Good luck!

Comment by Phelecar

Took me a lot of tries, the previous comments didn't work for me, but eventually I made it work.

Here's exactly what I did :
- plant banner
- kill the first 2
- let 3rd hit banner and stop him with Soft Foam Sword , tank him (like KiritaWindwalker said so far, but banner disappeared for me)
- wait the full banner CD, still tanking that guy
- plant a second banner, still tanking that one guy
- wait like 90 seconds, boss spawn

Comment by CoolBlade18

I found a short and sure way to handle the quest.

1. Plant the banner
2. Wait away from the hill top - you don't want them to aggro you before the banner
3. Let them start the attack banner channel
4. Hit them before they finish the channel and kill them
5. Chief spawns after you do this 3 or 4 times.

Finish by killing the Chief and done.

Comment by silveropal3

After several attempts of...
-just killing mob after mob even though the flag despawned
-cc'ing first mob away from mound after flag was planted
-tanking the first mob's damage away from the mound until I could plant the flag again because it despawned
-and several other suggestions in this post

...the first time I tried this "method" it worked:

1. Plant flag.
2. Stay on mound off to the side of the flag so you don't aggro the first mob.
3. Don't aggro first mob and let it hit the banner.
4. Wait until their banner attack is almost done and then kill them.
5. Repeat step 4 for the next 8 or 9 mobs.
6. Chief Murgut finally spawned AND the flag never despawned.

Comment by RhaixAkua

I was able to work around this by simply pulling the first mob away from the mound entirely before it reached it, but NOT KILLING IT. Simply stand there and tank the damage away from the flag and the flag will remain and eventually the boss will come as intended.

This worked 14/12/2020 with warmode off first time. With warmode on it didn't work

Comment by MgrlRogue

I was able to do this quest on my L30 rogue, I planted the banner, went into stealth, and sapped the first furbolg before he could get aggro, the banner never despawned and I just had to reapply sap and eventually the boss spawned.

Comment by Amsterdoom

Don't attempt this quest with warmode on. It will spawn endless mobs but the boss will never come.

Comment by netnewsnow

Put the banner down, do not kill the mob until 1m20 secs, boss will appear.

Comment by Escapist83

This seems bugged as of March 22, 2021? I plant the flag, ONE furgbolg attacks me at a time, no matter how long I keep that first one CC'd. If I kill the mob, another one spawns, only one. This keeps going until the flag despawns. If I leave and come back, there's still ONE furbolg attacking a non-existent flag.

Comment by Mirej

For a weird reason, none of the tricks of letting the first mob hit the flag or tanking them or whatever worked for me. The banner would disappear all the time, and the mobs wouldn't stop spawning, even after dropping the quest.

How I managed to finish the quest:

Stand on the hill, plant the banner, and just keep on killing (oneshotting on level 60) the mobs as soon as they spawn.
It seemed (at least for me) that as long as I keep on fighting, without being out of fight for more than a few seconds, keeps the flag there.
After roughly 1 minute, the boss came

I don't know how well this tactic works on low-level chars, though

Comment by Onyxiet

ok well i cannot get them to stop spawning even when i try to abandon with the intention of restarting it once i killed the last one to spawn.

Comment by insidiousgaming

kill them with foam sword after they hit the flag 1 time that's it

Comment by ScreamOutTears

Here is what I did:

- plant the banner, stay on the hill next to it
- kill the first 2 spawned mobs
- tank the 3rd one on the hill
- and suddenly the boss spawned

Comment by Tigerct

My recommendation is to just abandon the quest. Trying every single trick in the comments here isn't worth the effort for the xp that you could have gotten just running to another quest and a useless ring. If you're horde and doing it for transmog I guess that's different. But for leveling, just steer clear of this until blizzard puts the minimum effort in to fix a bug that's been around since 9.0.1

Comment by SargerasWasRight

I was all set to jump through hoops with this quest but when I got to the mound I was able to click on it and loot Murgut's Totem instantly without even doing anything. This one sure is buggy...

Comment by Darkdesiree

This quest right here is the reason I do not have this zone completed.

Comment by Angelsbane

I noticed that this quest was still bugged and thanks to reading other people's post found that planting the banner a little off the side of the mound did the trick for me, I had no issues what so ever, I was able to kill the mobs and then the boss without the banner fading in mid quest. Hope this will help ^^

Comment by EXPERIMENTONGOD

Still bugged as of 9.1, this is what worked for me.

1. Plant the banner
2. Don't aggro the first mob (stay between the banner and the mob) and wait until he starts using the "Destroying Banner" ability and then attack the mob
3. Now you can kill all the mobs that spawn normally and the quest will complete

To me it looks like if you don't let any furbolg attack the banner at all it will despawn. I even saw a furbolg attacking "an invisible banner":

Good luck guys

Comment by Liccao

If bugged. A friend helped me with it. He told me to plant the Banner, as long down the hill as poseble. It worked as if no bug even was there. When we where doing it another player came, and planted it on the top of it. And there the bug appered.

I dont know if this can help anyone

Version 9.1 Shadowlands

Comment by DonnersFryCook

Completed with a level 18 rogue.
Planted banner and kept drawing the mobs off the mound and using Crimson Vials to stave off death.
Once King spawned I started fighting back and took the Mob and King down.
Grabbed the totem and stealthed away.

Comment by Oydjayvagr

Unfortunately EXPERIMENTONGOD suggestion didn't work for me with WM On and Chromie Time.
To finish the quest succesfully I found a way (mainly thanks to Phelecar) after following various suggestions.

1. Plant the banner
2. Kill the first two without letting them touch the banner
3. Let the third mob hit the banner and then tank him
4. After 60/90 seconds the boss will spawn

Comment by CRYPTsakura

Playing monk so what worked for me - planted flag on side of that hill, left mob come and start attacking flag, in half of cast cc'ed him with paralysis (1 min), after expiration, again and at 10-20 secs Murgut came.... Killed him, looted and done

Comment by Silversong

Hey, everyone. I understand this quest is still acting up for some people. I just completed this quest twice in a row on my hunter and rogue. I'll share some tips that helped me. Hopefully these work for you.

1. Once you've place the flag on the mound, stay near the flag. Do not leave the mound.
2. If you have stealth or any similar abilities, do not use them. I stayed visible on my rogue and the flag did not disappear.
3. I've seen people report that letting the mobs initiate the destroy banner action and then attacking helps prevent the bug. I did not do this. I waited for mobs to come onto the mound and then attack before they have a chance to interact with the flag. The flag stayed up throughout the entire encounter.

Hopefully these help out. I'm not really sure what causes this bug to happen since I've seen so many conflicting experience with this quest. Good luck!

Comment by Lectrin

There is a barrel at the mound. Stand on the back corner of the barrel to avoid damage. Jump down and tag the one that is casting to interrupt and jump back up on the barrel. Keep doing until boss spawns.

Comment by Liccao

King of the Foulweald still bugged in 10.0.2

If you play another class then Evoker this guide cant help you with skills, but im sure other people have written a solution, else if you know your class and know what Hard CC on it im sure you can still use it. With Hard CC I mean Mage Sheep or Hunter Trap. DH have the Cage.

So you play Evoker and want to main it and do all kind of stuff but you are stock here and angry about it. Fear no more im here to help

So basicly what is this bug and how to provent it to appear. The bug it self is annoying as hell the mission tells you to keep killing Foulwealds who spawns and tries to destroy the banner you place. Even Zygor just say kill Foulwealds. But that is not how to do it. That is how it was intended and worked before 9.0.0

But what to do then?
You have to Hard CC (Crowd control) the first Foulweald who spawns after you place the banner. as a Evoker class you are lucky they have alot of utility spells who fits this situation. I know one combination and that is one I will give you here. Im sure Landslide also can do the trick. but this is how I did it.

1) - change your talents in Evoker Points so you have access to "Sleep Walk"
2) - go to the location of your quest (The mount where you have to place the banner)
3) - Ready up because this is the tricky part. By this I mean be sure you have "Sleep Walk", Wing Buffet and Tail Swipe on your hotbar
4) - YOU HAVE TO BE FAST HERE! Place down the banner, Target the first Foulweald and Eather Wing Buffet it or Sleep Walk it. I must not enter a "Breaking the banner" ability
5) - Now wait to the King spawns, if the Foulweald had attacked the banner its too late and you have to let it destory the banner and do step 4 again
6) - If The king spawns kill it and collect the item
7) - Congrats you are now over the bugget part of this toon.

King of the Foulweald

Place Senani's Banner on the Foulweald Totem Mound. Do not let the furbolgs destroy the banner. Defeat Chief Murgut and bring Murgut's Totem to Senani at Silverwind Refuge.

	Murgut's Totem (1)
	Senani's Banner (Provided) (1)

Description

My research has paid off.

I believe that with a show of force, we can diminish the furbolgs' aggressiveness.

Take this banner a short ways northeast and place it on their totem mound. They will try to destroy the banner, but hold your ground until their chief, Murgut, appears to save face for the tribe. Bring me the totem he carries.

Gather your allies, <name>. This is no task for a single <class>.
