While many of the Northrend "5 player recommended" quests are feasible to solo, please note that this one most certainly isn't. The mob has in excess of 200,000 HP, mind controls, hits for 1600ish on plate, and casts a mind flay which ticks for a couple thousand several times and he fears if I'm not mistaken.

The trash mobs for the pre-quest to get the summoning item are also quite dangerous and can kill an undergeared 80 if not treated like serious business or pulled in groups of 3 or 4.

The Title of this quest is also an Ozzy album. Funny how he is now in WOW commercials. Makes you think.

Comment by Jetdoctr

This quest is a PITA!

Very hard to even get a group on my realm...

Then, even the regular mobs were hitting for 1500. And if you agro more than 3, forget it. The boss has ridiculous health and mana..viper sting would land but was worthless as it didn't even dent his mana pool.

His DoT does ~2k damage over and over on my mail. Take my advice, bring a tank and a healer to make it go smooth...we tried 3 dps (2 hunters and a lock) and failed bad, lol.

He is ridiculous when you compare him to most other elites in Northrend.

Bring a group!

This is the daily version of this quest.

LVL 80 DeathKnight in Tank Gear

This took me two tries. Mainly because some alliances thought they were helping me instead they were hurting me because when you have a second threat on the target the mob will use Fear and Mind Control Spells. So dont use a pet, and if you can self heal, you should be able to kill him.

This guy wasnt any harder than the other elites in Icecrown. Just got to use your Cool downs.

Try him before you get a group if you are a Death Knight. Remember no pet, or army of death.

P.S. I did try him again, and not 100% sure but he did fear me the 2nd time i killed him. There was a Gnome Warrior in the room, so not sure if he got into combat but i don't believe this guy will fear/MC unless someone else touches him.

She is kitable by a good druid, Easily taken to Shadow Vault for easy slaughter for the guards.

Extremely easy as a enhance shaman. You can dispell renew, tremor fear, grounding totem whatever you want. The wolves were enough to keep me up and solo it.

Note: he doesnt have any of the above mentioned annoying abilities when soloed. Its just a dot, a fear, and a 1.5kish hit

Comment by Stealthy

Alumeth has been heavily nerfed in 3.08 - HP down to 106K from 260K, does much less damage per hit and seems to use his abilities less.

If you are doing this quest as a group, have all party members loot the chests and create Alumeth's Remains. The Remains don't despawn (unlike the components) and can be used at a later date, saving you from having the clear the trash the next time you do the quest.

not sure bout this, but at 50% hp or so he starts healing himself, got him to 50% solo as a demo lock, and from that point it got hopeless for me becuz of it

Comment by dyingcrow

It seems to be bugged. The chest with the scepter is not clickable, but the others are.

Soloed it today as a hunter. Bear pet talented for tanking, BM spec also talented for pet tanking. Had Glyph of mending and probably couldn't have done it without it. Kept mend pet up at all times, and used the usual hunter soloing tricks like misdirects etc. I think the pet got feared once but neither of us got mind controlled. Used kibler's bits and scroll of strength on my pet; for me I used 40 crit 40 stam buff food, agility scroll, and guru's elixir. For reference I have all epics except for two blues which are maybe balanced out by my epic ilvl 219 bracers. Best or second best enchants on everything. I may have just gotten lucky by avoiding a mind control, or they may have nerfed this fight pretty hard. I could see him healing himself toward the end but I was able to keep ahead of it (/shrug).

As others have mentioned, the trash in this room can be pretty tricky; I recommend carefully pulling small groups away from the others before fighting them. They have an attack that eats a bunch of your mana which can make things difficult, at least for hunters.

@dyingcrow: I didn't have any trouble with any of the chests, sorry to hear you did.

How kitable is this guy anyway? By that I mean, is he affected by snares/roots and whatnot? Is it possible to outrun him or does he have increased movement speed?

Comment by snugglebear

The title of this quest is an Ozzy album from the 80's. Devs must be fans as they put him in commercials and he played at blizzcon.

Comment by Rightousway

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.
This is probably a reference to "There Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" By Cage the Elephant.

Comment by unoshi

Soloed him as a LV 80 RETRI PALA on my second try just use all your cd's and heal your self in time and just seal of light for some hp each hit wil keep u in good healt cuz you dont wanna die

other wise you can go collect the stuff you need to summon him again..

Comment by zulcatt

This quest does not give extra gold at level 80 for the experience you are not getting. It gives 22 Gold 20 Silver at level 80.

Comment by Andonysis

Just to clarify... the items needed are in chests scattered around the room.

Comment by 475607

I just solo'd him as a 80 BM hunter with a turtle tank and Deadly Gladiator PVP gear.

Pretty easy fight with Glyph of Mending, Silverback, Spirit Bond, and the aggro talents like Bestial Wrath, Intimidation, Guard Dog, etc. I actually had more trouble with the surrounding trash mobs and their mana-drains.

Comment by sushibar

Easy solo (and 22.25 gold) for Enhance Shaman (wolves are necessary).
A tip: Once you collect the four items from the chests and combine them into Alumeth's Remains. go back and collect another set of 4 before the adds respawn. Once you summon and kill him, you can combine the items into another remains item to use the next day. No need to kill the adds to get at the chests every other day. Big time saver

Comment by mysticol

Really easy for Arcane Mages as well.

Pop copies, then once they aggro him pop cd's and blow him up. No need to worry about him healing since you can spellsteal his renew.

Comment by 514847

This is just an advise to DK's. Do not spend time on finding a grp, because u can kill him urself. I did it, and I did not get below
20.000 HP and I have 27.000 HP more or less. And I am blood specced.

Comment by 321580

This guy is a cakewalk.

Just wanted to make note that his heart, robes, skull and sceptor are all thorughout the room in crates.

Happy hunting!

Comment by 642892

No problem as a lvl 80 arcane mage with a full set of relentless gladiator gear, used mirror image and just hit him with arcane blast, arcane barrage and arcane missiles a few times. lasted about 15 seconds and it was all over. Seemed not to difficult.

Comment by Magnacus

It should be noted that the chests that you have to loot the 4 parts from are all around the room. There are more than 4 chests at any given time, and they all contain a specific piece. So you may have to search hard or simply wait for other players to reset some of the chests, to find the specific piece you need. It took about 30 minutes for another player to come along and do this for me. GL.

No Rest For The Wicked

Koltira, aboard Orgrim's Hammer, wants you to slay Alumeth the Ascended at Aldur'thar.

	Alumeth the Ascended Defeated (1)
	Alumeth's Heart (1)
	Alumeth's Robes (1)
	Alumeth's Scepter (1)
	Alumeth's Skull (1)
	Suggested players: 5 (1)

Description

It's Alumeth... He's growing in power again. I can sense it. Again his underlings are channeling power to his soul.

If he's allowed to rest, their efforts will soon transform him into a mighty adversary.

Return to his chamber in the north portion of Aldur'thar. Combine his heart, skull, scepter and robes, then use his remains on the crystal there.

Hurry, <race>! Destroy him while there's still time!
