Soloed as a 70 Rogue.

Had to Prep Evasion. Makazradon can be blinded so you can bandage, the other cannot.

Comment by 24413

Makazradon can be banished and feared so is soloable for a warlock, the other however cannot.

Comment by Jebal

Solo'd as a 70 full holy paladin. Be sure to clear the area around them as you will need room to move out from underneath the rain of fire repeatedly and adds mean a failed attempt. I put on the parts of my tanking gear that did not lose me int and kept the rest of my solo gear on, judged wisdom, and had a fairly lengthy but easy fight. Both demons are stunnable for those times when you need to drop a heal. Make sure you have fire resist aura on, the magic damage boosting debuff he does plus rain of fire will kill you quick if you are too slow to move.

Edit: Both elites have about 20-25k hp, and don't take too long clearing as respawn times are fast, especially for the named nonelite demoness.

Comment by bunit59

As a 68 warlock I soloed both easily. I accidentally pulled Morgoron while I was at ~20% hp, but he runs slow so I was able to dot him up and run. I just kept renewing dots as I was running. The other one can be feared/banished, so he was easier.

Comment by marskid2

The Illidari-Bane questline is a series of quests that leads to some cool anti-demon weapons. It involves entering many level-70 instances, so you probably want to do the prerequisites before then. David Wayne is also rumored to be Mograine of the Ashbringer.

Comment by Mdj71

How do i use the bane shard?

I cant equip it and nothing happens when i click on it (except starting the quest first time you click it)

How do i get the +dmg against demons from it?

Comment by fletch

you can find Makazradon at 22,30
Morgoron at 23,41

he walks around so just fly/run and find them.

Comment by 5695

Both of these mobs are stunnable, and all forms of Rogue CC appear to work properly. Can be disarmed. CoS for the rain of fires. 70 Rogue soloed quest.

Props to Forsakendark - Darkspear for some helpful hints.

Comment by 11892

Both demons are easily soloable as a warlock.
What i did was enslave Makazradon as use him to fight Morgoron.
Release Makazradon and kill him ( he is on low hp after the fight)

Comment by 58741

i pretty much think they are soloable to all ranged :) i ran around my own totems while frost chock and a lighting bolt when i could find time for it ;)
Morgoron i just kited around in all the infernals at his place this guys aren't forst-chock-able so there i used my earth elemental as tank .. they won't touch you and pretty easy kill. Good luck

Comment by 66048

soloed it as a 70 BM hunter. pretty easy when u clear out a space so no adds come

Comment by siggboy

Lvl 70 BM hunter with average gear (lvl 68 boar pet):

Pulled Makazradon straight down the road, kept mend pet up and started DPSing. When the pet died, freezing trap, rez pet, heal, bandage, and resume. No nasty kiting was required, and after two pet deaths I had him down. You do not have to clear any adds when doing Makazradon since he can be conveniently pulled out of range of any other mobs.

To kill Morgoron, just clear a few adds downhill, then pull him out of the courtyard, tank with pet and DPS down. He does have far less hitpoints than Makaz, so chances are your pet won't even die.

Comment by Ruporip

i "solo" him as lvl 67 shadowpriest ..... easy just drag Makazradon and Morgoron down to town ;).....

Comment by 35202

Soloed them easily as a Feral Druid Bear in mediocre lvl70 Blues tanking gear.

Physically they both hit like a wuzz, Makazradon a little harder than Morogron. Had to Bash-Heal twice on Makazradon, the other required no heal. They're both stunnable and interruptable (at least via Feral Charge).

Just make sure to leave their Rains of Fire ASAP, because that one hurts a lot (one reason why I had to heal twice on Maka ;).

And as someone said before: Clear a large enough area beforehand, you need some space to move around to esacpe Rain of Fire and because Morogron has a knockback.

Comment by 41994

hmmm i just solo this as 70 combat rogue
one thing i notice yes you need to be really fast

i open with cheap shot them some shiv for combo point some posion them stund him back with kidney shot pop some cs like Evasion Adrenalina rush Blade flurry kick rain of fire and just cloack of shadow trough fire dmg pretty simple but you need to be fast...

Comment by takZa

Both of them soloed as Destro lock.

Comment by Mairin

Just tried to take Maz and got an immune on both fear and enslave (post 2.3 that is), had to drain tank his behind down.

Comment by 53308

both are immune to enslaving, mak is immune to fear and banish as well. mor is not immune to banish, didnt try fear.

edit: this was as of 11-23-07, patch 2.3

Comment by Vlad

Can you kite longer than 3 minutes? Then you should be able to kill both, did it as enhancement shaman with healing gear.. I just used Grounding totem to prevent Cripple, and shocked all the way. They run a little slower than you so it's not hard, just avoid mobs by kiting them to the main road.

Comment by 43121

As of yesterday, both these are immune to Enslaving and Fear as I discovered!

It pays to read comments to the end, especially since Blizzard have changed so much in 2.3 patch

Comment by boddiolla

Soloed as a lvl 70 frost mage with 1 epic. Just watch out for the Rain of Fire, and youre good. Didn't even use Cold Snap :)

Comment by Ambrosia

Morgroron is susceptible to stuns; Makazradon is not.

They're both soloable as a prot tank.

Comment by xsandx

soloed as feral druid on bear form, i kited Morg around the big rock at 24,40 to avoid rain of fire and stomp and he was easy. Makaz is alot easier as u can kite him around the big rock at 23,36 once u r out of HP try to pass between the wall and the rock because Makaz cant go in " too big !" so he will take 360 degree around the wall which buy some time for ye , its just picking a side of the narrow channel and fight him then retreat few yards to the other side for some heal.. repeat and he will die :) just make sure u clear the area from mobs :)

Comment by 154409

Just soloed this as a 70 Hunter. 41/20/0 spec with a Raptor. Was rather simple. Just set my pet on him and forced the pet to hold aggro until roughly 25% of the pets health. Then drew aggro to myself while pet healed. If you have the health for it, just finish beating whichever one you're fighting down, but if not, simply FD and let your pet tank again.

I did this with both of them with no problem. Remember to kill the trash around him, so they don't aggro and kill you while you're doing this.

If you find yourself in trouble, you can always Freeze trap him for a while, heal your pet, then MD to your pet when he breaks from the trap.

Comment by 87017

Soloed as an Enhance Shammy. Setup your totems, lightning bolt him, pop Shamanistic Rage and Heroism if it's up and stay out of the fire. The fire hits far harder than he does, even w/o healing he goes down pretty quick.

Comment by 102859

Soloed as a 67 mutilate rogue. Simply pull one of the big guys and throw-kite him to shadowmoon village. melee him just before entering so you'll be getting loot, pop evasion and cloack of shadows while guards nuke down the mob, then repeat with the other one.

Comment by 106514

Well, this WOULD be soloable by hunters, but both ******* are immune to wing clip and traps. So unless your pet can hold mean aggro youre toast! Dont try it. Get a tank. Got them both to about a third health, but couldnt get any distance between them and me. Feigned death, but they both kept hitting. No distance = toast! :(

May be able to be soloed by a BM spec, not sure. Never played one.

Comment by 90137

Both soloable by a lvl 69 hunter with blu/green quest reward items and a lvl 68 worm.

Morogoron was easy. Being stunnable, i used Intimidation when my pet went too low on health.

Makazradon he's harder. He has more hitpoints than his friend and also deals more damage. Plus he's immune to stuns, as said. He killed my worm tank but then he was just at 1% and i managed to kill him before he reached me.

There are some doomguards and Mo'arg engineers patrolling in the area, so if you are going to solo this quest, watch out for adds.

Does any1 know a good addon that show the coordinates?

I'm thinking they must have nerfed these guys or something, but as of right now, this was easily solo-able as on my 67 Blood DK.

I didn't even use anything with a cooldown longer than 30 seconds on the second guy... I had my ghoul up and Bone Shield up for the first (Morgroron was the first I ran across), since I was a bit worried; the second I just flew down and killed like anyone else.

Just stay out of the fire and you'll be alright.

Comment by 892060

Not very difficult.. I don't really get the 3 player suggestion. 2 would be more fitting :p They both had only ~20k... quite easily soloed as 67 prot Warr.

Comment by 146544

I did this will Dogmeati, level 76 Warrior-Prot.(solo), both are easy as long as you catch them in the long stretch with no loose mob near, then it becomes testy! But, caught them at different times but alone! Both were stunable as i saw the action1 Completed quest and turned in! Level up!

Comment by sivla

it makes me laugh to go back over ancient posts, and then notice in between the TBC expansion remarks, suddenly cata people making insane comments... such as i cannot see what it should be "2" for this quest lol

firstly Priests and mages would and did have problems soloing this quest, those in plate and druids, locks made light work of this quest. Eventually the entire zone was nerfed, because of the changes with wrath of the lich king that followed it. It would not have made sense to have an earlier expansion harder to level through then the current one, more over by the time 4.0+ comments where made, even further changes had been made...however by this point most of us where wearing heirlooms and just running dungeons and avoiding places like shadowmoon valley.

Tis a horrid zone, but there are some good quality quests in the zone...but really to go through 70 quests here to get the achievement on the way to lore master...you'd better break this zone up with doing anything else, such wrath zones...this is the zone your going to get burn out on if you attempt to do all the quests here in 1 sitting! it really is a terrible zone.

If you've come here wondering if the coordinates have changed or why you can't find either of them - the circles are in the right place, but the respawn time is longer than it should be. Either I am very unlucky, or these have respawn times of at least 15 minutes.

Links

Capture the Weapons

Ordinn Thunderfist at Wildhammer Stronghold wants you to bring him Mazakradon's Glaive and Morgroron's Glaive.

	Makazradon's Glaive (1)
	Morgroron's Glaive (1)
	Suggested players: 3 (1)

Description

With a larger supply of this material, we might be able to forge a weapon for you to use.

The two pit lords at Legion Hold, Makazradon and Morgroron, have already been equipped with these anti-demon weapons. We have no way of knowing how many more the Legion intends to produce, but if we can capture these prototypes, there should be enough for our project.

<Ordinn grins.>

There's a certain amount of satisfaction in using the Legion's own 'secret weapons' against them, don't you think?
