Not immune to snares, soloed quite easily as a 74 destro lock in T6. He doesn't hit any harder than the elite giants you had to kill for March of the Giants, and has approximately the same amount of health (around 27k). He does do a large knockback once and awhile so make sure you are not near any other mobs.

Soloed as level 72 Unholy Deathknight easily, should be doable by any spec presuming chains of ice remains as it is now.

Simply chains of ice and icy touch whenever you can and kite him, use runic power to deathcoil or summon gargoyle (if you have it). Raise a ghoul once you have good aggro so it can dps anyway.

Comment by ConflictJunkie

Soloed as a level 70 Undead Fury warrior with 4/5 Titans grip and 2/2 impale

This particular stone giant is a pushover compared to the others. He only appeared to be meleeing for 400-500 and an occasional "pop you up in the air" move that is easily countered with a simple intercept or Heroic Leap. Did not need to kite him with hamstring just bludgeoned the guy to a pulp.

Comment by mgarland

Couldn't find a group but was able to solo anyway! lol 72 mage

Comment by Aaron331

soloed very easily as a 72 Deathknight frost spec

Comment by 203265

Solo'd as a 70 holy/disc priest. Just kite him around. He's not that hard.

Comment by 218791

Soloable by any class on the 'Test the Rune of Command' quest. Grab a giant, run up to Megalith, take him down. The Giant makes it trivial. My pet never dropped below 75%.

Comment by 118062

Easier than the giants from the previous quest in the chain. Soloed as a 71 BM hunter w/o t5 bonus. Quick respawn rate too.

Comment by 86053

There's a way to make this quest, and the giant-killing one before it, easier.

There's another quest, called Rune of Command surprisingly enough, that gives you a Rune of Command to use as often as you like as long as you haven't handed it in, effectively giving you a pet Stone Giant to help you fight the Runed Stone Giants and this Megalith character.

I'm not sure when this'll get nerfed though, if at all. :)

Comment by Xahn

easily solo'd by lvl 71 balance druid, You can root him. He didn't even touch me.

Comment by 127810

I soloed it at level 71. No prob =)

Comment by 234763

soloed as a 71 fury warrior in gladiator gear... the bloodthirst and bloodcrazed out healed his dps... didnt get me passed 75%

Comment by wyhn

Easy soloable at 70-71. by the way, there is a quest before this in the chain (March of the Giants). You can simple kill Megalith 4 times, waiting it's respawn (2,5 mins) and use the "mining pick" (quest item). It counts as a simple giant & it's easier kill this mob as the souths one.

Comment by lildave151

Pretty easy... 72 enhancement shaman. Had to heal myself twice but that was just to stay topped off. Also, if you do the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11348 first, your "pet" giant will help fight for you. Not a lot of dmg but he really helps. Didn't have to use and tricks/elementals/heroism.. really not that bad. I'd def suggest killing him for the earlier quest... much easier.

Comment by ripper

Very, very easy, solo'd as 72 ret pally, only used fol twice on myself.

Comment by Danin

So easy to solo he might as well be a normal mob with more HP. Far, far less challenging than the Runed Stone Giants in the first quest of this chain with their raid-boss-like stacking DOT.

Comment by Kyeld

3-player suggestion is over-kill, it's pretty trivial even for 2 without kiting or anything abnormal.

Comment by 247205

Since no one posted co-ords for the lazy ones ill do it.
Howling Fjord - Frostblade Peak : 68.80, 11.25 There you go!

Comment by 171525

69,11 are the coords of his respawn. Just find your way up the snow mountain.

Very easily kited and killed. Frost mages should be able to do this with their eyes closed.

Comment by 49230

Soloed as an arcane mage, gear doesn't matter. Just keep him slowed and keep your distance, very easy.

Comment by Stryker666

Co-ords 67,10 are correct. Solo'd as a 74 Boomkin.

Treants, Roots, Moonfire, Insect Swarm, Starfire and he was dead.

Dropped 4x Glowing Runestone and gave 2347 Exp Non-Rested.

Comment by 194672

"most powerful of the runed giants"

Is that a joke or something? Megalith was a piece of cake compared to other runed giants.

Comment by Zukai

soloed as a lvl 71 fire mage, kited him around the area he walks in.
not at all to hard

Comment by 50259

Soloed as a 73 TG war. Cake.

Comment by Rizloff

Soloed Easy as 72 combat rogue!

Cheap Shot, SnD, SS to 5 combo points, Kidney Shot, Killing Spree. Didnt drop below 50% HP

Comment by OwlBoy

Soloed as an Affliction lock, had my Infernal tank him, and by the time I had aggro he was half dead.

Comment by gerwim

Soloed as a 73 Unholy DK, use Bone Shield and Icebound Fortitude and I didn't drop below 90% HP. Without using Death Strike!

Comment by LordDraik

If you soloed the previous quests this is substantially easier, just because he doesn't have that DoT. Really, really easy, considering it's supposed to be a 3-man.

Comment by Ghostyamine

solo'ed as a prot warrior lvl 78 w/ 20k hp only went down to 85% hp w/o using enraged regen.

Comment by 34255

Soloed as level 73 Paladin retribution easily

Comment by 218380

Soloed this one in level 71 as retri pala. pretty easy actually

Comment by 62632

Easily solo'd as a 71 Death Knight in Blood Spec. Put a mark of blood on him + vampiric blood and didnt get below 95%

Comment by 156646

Lol, my 1st post :)

This guy isnt easy with a holy priest, but it can be soloed at lvl 74, i do it :)

Comment by Luca

Very easy quest, I solo'd this as a lvl 70 Hunter. My gear is all blues and greens, nothing special. I put on a few elixirs, had some food buffs, and charged with my pet first. I did pop everything I had, but it was successful.

Comment by Heeris

This quest is a joke - nuff said. By no means a 3-man at all.
Soloed as a 71 green / quest-reward blue geared prot Paladin, ending with roughly 100% Hp and Mana.

Comment by cerin616

Killed him incredibly easy as a 70 rogue. Did this quest along with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11348 , Took the captured giant from the camp and brought it with me. The giant has very long stuns and does some damage. I just spammed sinister strike and eviscerate. Mogalith did not turn to face the giant, so be sure to use evasion.

Comment by 275557

not imune to desease very easy to solo as a dk.

coord: aprox 69-10

Comment by keenoblade

solo'd as a 73 blood DK he's up in the mountains he was a 72 elite all i did was mark of blood, vampiric blood and a bunch of attacks

Comment by 238918

Took me less than 8sec to solo with my Enhance 73 Shaman

Comment by Poposhka

soloed with 74 ret paladin. he is MUCH easier than the earlier giants you fought. hits are weak, and he goes down fast.

Comment by imspicey

Soloed with a 74 fire mage, very little CC, more pew pew

Comment by flymolo21

3 people? really? lvl 73 solo DK. chains of ice and mark of blood, he did do around 3000 total damage when I was done. A lot easier then the first part of this quest.

Comment by 249897

Just soloed it with a 74 Unholy DK. This was way to easy.

Bahkshah

Comment by factionz

Quit posting that you solo'd it, you aren't "pro" or special, it's just an easy quest, no one cares.

Comment by webnurv

69,11 are correct for respawn but he does walk around down the mountainous path

easily soloable on a 71 DK blood specced, never went below 90% hp. No pets or giants used to help, as others have stated he is way easier than the stone runed giants u have to kill prior to this

Comment by 44612

he hits like a girl

only 400 on 11500 armor :)

his kick only hurts a bit :)
and thats mainly because of falling damage you get

Comment by 247798

Soloed as 71 balance druid in northrend greens. Used treants, nothing else. He threw a rock at me once (500 dmg). Just keep him rooted and u'll be fine.

Comment by Aillen

I just completed this quest at 80 and I only received 10g instead of the 16g 9s as it says.

Comment by 285678

rly stupid tagging from Blizzard as Group Quest for 3 ppl... lol... nc...

btw... i can confirm the above post correction... i got only 10g as reward... and im alrdy 80 lvl so even this is with the +cash for "experience"

Comment by 80071

Soloed as 71 62/0/0 arcane mage... when he died, i still had 94% of hp... very easy to kill, not like another elites

Comment by jgilmore8

Soloed as 80 rogue, combat swords. Very easy...needed blade flurry to also take down an Icehollow Behemoth that Megalith threw me into.

Comment by olania

Soloed as a 75 shadow priest - Frozen Shadoweave set and Northrend greens. Keep Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Embrace up, bubble whenever you can, and just hit him with everything you've got. I took more damage from fall damage when he knocked me back.

Comment by 317883

Soloed as a 72 Blood DK. You just gotta be able to either keep him away or be able to give yourself some healing through the fight. Having a pet helps, but if you're able to mitigate a lot of damage or keep him away from you, this fight is easy to do and a quick 25k XP.

Comment by 326058

Just Soloed this as a 70 Ret pally. Was pretty easy, just use Seal of Light and its easy he doesn't hit hard so you shouldn't have a problem

Comment by 99306

Solo'd as a 71 retribution paladin w/ Kara, SSC & S2 gear- very easy! Dropped judgment of light for heals and never dropped below 80% (with a max HP of 10k). Very doable.

Comment by Nightrider21

correction on payout for this quest, its only 10g and not 16, which must be for a lvl 80 who does this quest....

Comment by 322008

As others said, this guy is a lot easier than the other elite giants.

As a 71 Feral Druid I had to get my caster set and root+moonfire+SF when the root is about the end on the other giants, but this one I:
Cast regrowth->prowl->pounce+rake+mangle till 5 combo points(use tiger's fury somewhere here)->APtrinket+RIP->bear->lacerate and keep 5stack lacerate+mangle and demo roar up. Piece of cake, didn't even get to 80%, probably could've done him as cat only as well.
Also forgot to use barkskin :P

Comment by Vaati

I wanted to add that when i did this quest again on my rogue i was about to use the Rune of Command pet but this time its only summonable 1 time, so if you gonna use it on Megalith i suggest you save your only summon for him. But i agree, Megalith was alot easier than any Runed Giant bacuse of the 1200 ticking dot that they give you. So most classes wouln't need it for Megalith anyways.

Comment by 310552

Would just like to point out to the unobservent - like myself - that his knockback skill can push you off the edge if you attack him at the wrong angle. Ouchie.

Comment by 396112

Soloed Easy as 70 Demon Lock.. Everyone should be able to Solo him....

Comment by 404850

Soloed easy as 74 feral druid.

I've just cast rejuvenation, regrowth and 2xLifebloom, then switched to cat form and killed him with mangle/finish, finishing the combat with 69% hp.

Comment by 430083

Megalith a.k.a. Megatron? Transformers?

Comment by 435619

Easy solo, but when you do it, fight facing down the mountain. If you fight facing up the mountain, his knockback will drop you a good 3-3.5k health each time he uses it. Very easy though, his HP drops like a stone. No pun intended.

Comment by Cutthroat

Easily soloed as 72 Shadow Priest. DoTs on him and run away while refreshing them.

Comment by 90344

I soloed him as a lvl 73 rogue very easily without any help. He's quite easy for an elite :)

Comment by 457764

Soloed this as a 72 frost mage, it's very easy, since you can freeze him. He didn't even manage to break my ice barrier.

Comment by 269940

Easy soloed, 73 Arms Warrior.

Comment by 123325

Congratulations to all the people that solod it, considering your pet does most of the tanking. However, how about good information? :) How long does he take to respawn? .. Approx 3 min.

Comment by 285349

I killed him as a lvl 71 MM hunter with a gorilla and it was very easy.
This is the rotation I used:
- let your pet atack (I did it with a gorilla)
- serpent sting
- aimed shot
- arcane shot
- chimera shot

If you use this rotation, it won't be a problem.

Comment by 188432

Did this as a lvl 72 Survival hunter, easily done, easily done as any other class too i presume, he doesnt hit hard at all and his HP isnt too high either. Prolly a sinch as a DK.

Comment by RebukeZero

soloed as a 72 ret paladin. No idea why this is a 3-man. as long as you have Art of War and Sheath of Light in your talent spec, u can easily heal through his damage. I ended up at full health at the end of the fight.

Comment by 528800

Soled as druid 73. using my cat form

Comment by 445438

Force of Nature, Root, Pew. Extremely easy.

Comment by fadeddeath

Solo'd as a 71 Disc priest. Kite and Dot using shield and Shadow Word death when Weakened soul was gone and I could cast a new shield. He never cought up to me. Just run and refresh SwD when it's about to run out.

Comment by 749662

I think they may have patched this one to make it easier,,,creamed it with my DK. (Solo)
**previous quest ; using the rune of command no longer works either/ "Only in Giants run" So no helpful pet. would have been cool though i must admit. ^^^ Above recommendation to make sure you are flung on the up hill rather than down hill/ awsome ty. position may be the key ;-)

Comment by Waky

Easily solo'ed him as a level 71 Prot Warrior. Any time he pushed me up into the air I just charged back down and stunned him at the same time. Also if I came low on health (only got to 50% once) I pulled a ram from the surrounding area, killed it quickly and used the victory rush to regain health.

Very easy!

Comment by 300718

Solo'd as a level 71 worgen Holy priest.

Backed myself against the wall and hammered away with Mind Blast, Holy Fire, Smite and Chastise, and ofc used Bubble when debuff was gone everytime.

Ofc I had boa's. ^_^

Comment by 902991

Very Soloable as a 69 Unholy Death Knight, just keep frozing Megalith with Chains of ice and hitting him with Icy Touch and Death Coil while your Ghoul Finishes him.

The quest chain that starts with The Book of Runes is required for the Howling Fjord questing achievement, I've Toured the Fjord. It completes the requirement "The Iron Dwarves." (Listed incorrectly on this website as completing with Demolishing Megalith)

Comment by Zahgrim

Might be helpful to people before hand. He has a knockback attack, Hulking Uppercut , don't be like me and fight him with you back to a cliff!
