You can pull the undead on the front (east) side without aggroing Araj. This makes it a little easier to kill him.

Commentaire de huntingmaster

If you have a caster, you can stand on the edge of the nearby broken carriage and attack Araj the summoner directly without the guarding mob attacking you. His icebolts deal alot of damage, so Its best to bring a healer along with you. You will still need to kill the rest of the mobs after you kill Araj the summoner so you can loot his corpse and conplete the quest.

Commentaire de Globox

He was already dead when I arrived to kill him.
He corpse is some sort of a relic, right click on the relic to receive the Shard.

Also need to kill him for the key to Scholomance quest chain final quest https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=5803, saves having to kill him twice. (chain starts at https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=5533)

As a side note, completing the quest https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=4972 provides a handy talisman that causes damage to Araj, and reduces the damage he dishes out by 25%, though only use it AFTER he has been wounded.

Commentaire de ilovemrdoe

I went and got prepared for this quest, got three of the weakening items from that dragon-gnome, and it was so stupidly easy I forgot to use them. Any lvl59/60 should be able to solo this now, I didn't have to use pots (I'm a hunter) but non-pet classes might.

Commentaire de Bedeni

did that with 52 priest,51 druid 54 priest and me(55 hunter) it was easy but when he was about 30% i couldnt dps very well coz i was out of mana....but i hyad the priest healing me so there were no problem...

Commentaire de grevios

Soloed this as a 55 frost mage.. ezy mode

Commentaire de Suhov

Really easy with use of Chromie's Attuned Dampener (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=12650). If 2 man's got it he will be nearly instantly killed.

Also, then you complite quest you will get 700 Argent Dawn rep and 350 rep with each Alliance faction or will got revered status with all Alliance factions (mean no reputation if you don't revered with every faction yet). Before Burning Crusade it was a really fast and nice way get a revered with Alliance factions to buy mount etc.

Commentaire de 73052

Easily solo'd as a 62 lock.

Commentaire de 84309

He is at 45.69. Good luck.

Commentaire de exShinra

Gives 750 Argent Dawn rep.

Commentaire de Orforio

Easily solo'd as a 64 Feral Druid. Pulled the mobs on either side of him just to make sure, then went ahead and killed him. Four blows got him to 50%, the weakening talisman did the rest. Note that he may run away when nearly dead.

Commentaire de 161062

i killed solo as a lvl 57 enhance shaman, just killed the mobs up the path on the way in then pulled the summoner back up the same path dropped grounding totem as many times as i could and used earth shock to stop her casting, easy...

Commentaire de Vlad

To get the item from Araj, you basically need to:

Kill him (Araj the Summoner).
Loot the object (Araj's Phylactery) he spawns on his death.
You are done!

Quick info
Now to do this might be a little tricky if you are alone, now he is supposed to be a 2 man (or higher) "boss". Luckly you can solo him as a ranged class! With some DPS and smart use of enviroment you can solo him without a problem (at least no problem for a Frost Mage, probably Fire too :P)

I made a small video (50 seconds) how you can pull him and then kill him without any adds interrupting you! ;)
You can stream it from my private Stage6: http://vlacula.no-ip.com/stage6/play?19
If its offline then use the Google version: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6786488128267862111&hl=en

If you don't want to watch the video, then listen up!

Approach the Ruins of Andorhal from the South-East road.
Clear a bit when going forward closer to the boss (Araj).
Take a quick look at these 3 pictures (the pull, the jump and the dps spot).
That's about it!

Good luck!

Commentaire de 181443

Knoxpwns nailed it. I left my 53 feral druid very close to the boss stealthed. Got on my 70 hunter, cleared the area, and got the boss. I logged off, got back on my druid and looted the "corpse". It's not a corpse but some sort of pedestal you have to activate. Easy exp.

Commentaire de 204411

In order to get this quest you must do All Along the Watchtowers first.

Commentaire de 242255

Solo-ed as a 60 protection paladin. Cleared the mobs around before going to him. Here's why I think I managed to do this alone:

1) He seems to have been nerfed.
2) I was in Outland gear (where +25 stamina isn't uncommon).
3) I had two glyphs that I believe helped alot: Glyph of Sense Undead and Glyph of Exorcism.

He mostly cast Frostbolt, so I had Frost resistance aura on. Hit me for 150 after resisting. Occasional melee attacks. Didn't summon adds.

Commentaire de 308191

Easy soloable with any specc for Death Knights.

Used the blood-specc at 58, and he wasnt any problem at all. Just clear some mobs around him before you charge in.

Commentaire de 202176

My advice is pick up your main kill the guy and go get the quest item whit your alt

Commentaire de 448160

I had just ran up to fight him on my64 level druid when I saw a deathnight running away and noitced that he and all his minions seemed to be missing.
Realsiing that he may have jsut been killed I went over othe area and saw his phylactery with I then took, and turned in the quest.

Commentaire de 483916

My advice for this is to make sure that you clear ALL the mobs around him in the town square. I tried to just clear a path to him from one direction and the rest got pulled as soon as I attacked him. Didn't go well.

This is also how I discovered the purpose for the repeatable Attuned Dampener quests. Once you use one, it's gone. If you fail the first time, get another or come with two. Not sure if two different characters could both use one, but that's the reason one character can have multiple Attuned Dampeners.

Commentaire de mickezi

soloed with level 57 paladin, i didnt even use ENY cooldown except hadn of reckoning and exorcism, this is very easy u can pull all the adds by 1-3 groups with hand or reckoning and the last 3 i had to kill were the elite and 2 adds so its really easy...

Commentaire de phoeberose

Maybe the buffed it? But pulling mobs from either side aggro'd them all AND Araj as a level 57 shadow priest. I just hopped on my mage (80), pew pew'd them all and logged back onto the priest to loot. Easy peasy.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just completed the quest with a 60, a 55 and a 57 warrior, a 58 pally and a 60 druid (me), no probs at all. First thing to do is to wipe out the outer ring of guards, preferably 3 or 4 at a time - have a caster pull, then warriors charge from the side.

When you have Araj and his bodyguards (61 elite, 2 x 60 and 2 x high level elite), root / shackle the warlords and dps dps dps! Didn't even need a healer, and we owned them all.

PS: Ensure you keep moving - while the healer is mana up'ing, attack the next grp, as they res after about 2 min (including Araj!)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Don't forget to complete the quest that Chromie gives you to get the device that hurts only Araj. It's attuned to him, but she doesn't tell you that.

Attuned Dampener:
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5126/connaissance-déguisement-de-défias

But yeah, make sure the folks you are grouping with are patient but focused and get rid of all the guards first. And watch for wandering Abomination patrol.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Did it with 3 60s, a 58, and a 56. It took less then 5 min from the start of buffs till group disband. Just make sure you pull the few little groups around Araj first then get him (or here i cant really tell) and you shouldnt have a problem with it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

What are the Pre-requisites for this quest? I haven't done All Along the Watchtowers yet, is that what I'm missing?

Commentaire de Thottbot

Why are u guys bragin' about that u have done this quest with a lvl 60 etc....why cant u write down where the stuff is? like coords..... -.-

Commentaire de Thottbot

around 45,69. u cant miss em, right next to a fountain

i did it with 57 shaman, 57 druid and 57 warlock (me).

Commentaire de Thottbot

With 53,55 warrior, 54,52 Hunter , and 54 rogue first try we got to 18% then killed easy second time

Commentaire de Thottbot

Ok here are 2 tactics:
1. Hunters: Send ur pet and when everithing is attacking ur pet quickli grab the item from the box.
2. Anyone else: Get someone else to do as the pet, or to kill them all if hes the right lvl.

I did it with a 70 druid, he killed them all in 5 seconds!

Commentaire de Thottbot

only reason i know the location of this place is cos i accidentaly ran str8 into her whilst doing the watch tower quest lmao

Commentaire de Thottbot

did it with me 53 lock and 2 70 locks

Commentaire de Thottbot

If you have a main, you might be able to solo this for your alt.

I logged into my 70 mage. Wiped the first row, rested. Popped +155 spell power trinket and Arcane Power, then DPSed downed the 61 elite.

I then AOEed the rest down. You can blink away and take the second wave separate from the 61 elite if you want to. I suggest if you do this that you head for the river since they don't seem to like water.

Commentaire de Thottbot

soloed with my 57 lock.

IMPORTANT: he does not attack you unless you attack him or you get to close, in other words he doesnt care if you take care of the mobs around him first.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Did it with a 55 Hunter as I am 60 Loc. Just dps Alas n hunter to pull the adds. Ss'ed myself, died once while adds attacked. But pretty easy to do this quest as long as you cleared some mobs around him.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Did it solo 58 warlock and it wasnt so hard

Commentaire de Thottbot

This quest used to be hard, but with the new patch this quest is very easy. He is still a lvl 61 elite, but he only casts frostbolts and summons hounds. As a lvl 60 frost mage I used 50% of my mana to kill him and he took down 20% of my HP. I didn't even used my elemental because I was doing a test run to see how it would go.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Do it alone. (56lvl frost mage)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just solo'd it with my 61 shammy, put down agility,defence and mana totems, took about 2 mins to kill him.

Commentaire de Thottbot

ha 70 hunter and 57 druid... thought he wouldnt attack us unless we attacked him... i was wrong. had everything aggroed on me laid down an explosion trap set my boar to him and killed everything it was awesome!

Commentaire de Thottbot

We did it with a 70 hunter a 62 warrior a 61 pally and a 54 hunter (me). we killed in like 3 seconds

Commentaire de Thottbot

it realy wasn't too hard to kill him, soloed at lvl 59 (balance druid), simple kill ghouls on NE or SW side of the fountain (there is a bunch of mobs on other 2 sides so NE and SW is the easiest to clear) than simple pull him and dps for death :) at 25-30 % he will summon few mobs but it will be too late for him :) he was like 8-8,5k hp and hited for 200-250 per frostbolt
good luck :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Did it 55 lvl Warlock +55 lvl Mage +53 lvl Warrior. mby it sounds crazy? but we did him

Commentaire de Allakhazam

5 ppl (lvl 54-55) did this q yesterday, just try to clear the mobs around first. Then kill the undeads around him first after that have at him :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I might point out that If the Lich dies AND one already has the quest then they too may loot the shard. This was the case when some Hordies were killin the Liches Entourage and I happened by with my Alliance crew to kill him too - We jumped in and helped out and when the lich dropped and his phylactery spawned I looted it too - after all of them or course. So if U find that you do not have the resources to kill him - hang about until someone else starts to and join in. That was the way it went on Malygos (PvE). Course If U R one of the people on Stormreaver with my Priest then be prepared for that ole familiar lack of good will (Grant Absolutely No Kindness) that they call a GANK -

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Managed to solo this sucker using my 64 rogue today... Died on the first pull due to the two Elite Guards and Araj herself.

First pull the skellies at the front, four or five will come, only 58ish so not a problem.

Go to one side and pull one of the elite guards, make sure you kill it before you die!

Run back & heal up (Of course you cleared a little safe area before hand didn't you?)

Stealth up to Araj, use Cheap Shot. Switch targets to the remaining elite guard and blind it (Can't sap because they're all undead). Unleash several kinds of hell on Araj, making sure you stun as much as possible as she is a powerful caster. Don't forget to hit Evasion - it makes this fight possible!

When she's almost dead she'll spawn a bunch of ghost hounds, these can be taken out in a couple of hits each.

The rest of the operation is mopping up the adds. Assuming you've done it right, you'll need to use a healing potion (I recommend Super!) and the rest should be cake!.

At the time of writing my rogue had 6805 hps well fed, 2188 armour, a power of 826 with a crit chance of 19.04%. Full combat build.

I completely loved soloing Araj, I remember getting pwned on several chars and in several groups over the years... At higher levels she'll be cake - go kill that *!@#$!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Last week (before the patch, IIRC) I could easily find the summoning crystals in each tower.

Now, I can't see any of them. At all.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You don't need the crystal to spawn anymore. Araj is standing in the middle of town now. Just go kill him, quite easy, he's also stunnable.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

since 2.3 he's a piece of cake as all of is friends are non elite

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Did it today, for confirmation the quest is raidable, but u have to leave the raid to loot the Shard

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Araj is easy to take out. It's the mobs around him that prevent you from looting the phylactery easily... Ended up doing it as a 60 priest with the aid of a 54 paladin. Not real difficult.

Took Araj down with the second-story glitch, then took our time to clear the area... got both the shard and the scarab.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

i believe this quest is bugged since they moved andorhol around... i want my key! i spent 15g on it

Commentaire de Allakhazam

we just took him with a 59 pally & priest, a 56 druid and me a lvl 58 rogue. we started by clearing the area as much as possible. pulled him and everyone ignore the main and take the adds. killed as many as the low lvl adds as possible. then the pally before dying after the druid and priest were oom used devine intervention to save the priest. eveyone else died. he rezzed once they went back. then i took the main while the pally took the adds. i took him pretty fast and the pally lasted a while. no one released before he was dead. after he died we all let ourselves go. ran back and looted. so the person ( some stupid know it all night elf that said we couldnt take him with 4 people ) can suck it. a total of 5 gold for everyone to repait thier armor and the key. without "at lease 8 lvl 60s".

Commentaire de Allakhazam

after the patch this past tuesday, I did spot a crystal up in one of the towers (huge floating purple crystal) - but only once so I assume the respawn rate must be slow (they were not up when I first looked but were later). The annals of darrowshire was fixed too. Havent tried doing this quest - was along when i saw the crystal and havent seen it up the couple of times i have passed through since then

Commentaire de Allakhazam

actually i (60 mage) did him with a 2nd mage tonight. was pretty easy, put max dps on him and ignore all adds. important: counterspell him once to pull him away from his spawn point and the point where the adds will return to after he's down. of course we died, but we got him down easily, so we returned, got ressed and looted him (hence the counterspell pull, otherwise the loot would be inaccessible cause of the adds)

seul

Commentaire de Gozuk

PLEASE make sure you do the Scholomance Key Quest Chain before you do this quest.
The quest: "Araj's Scarab" will also require you to kill Araj.

Commentaire de Nobleshield

PSA: As of now if he's dead already and hasn't despawned his phylactery is lootable if you have the quest(s). Just had a group for him, when we got there he was dead, we were all able to loot the phylactery without having done a thing.

Commentaire de Epyo

As of Burning Crusade Classic's Prepatch, May 23 2021, this is somewhat broken--only one person can loot anything from the little Phylactory that drops on the ground.

However, surprisingly, I was able to solo it, on the first try, as a level 58 holy priest in mara gear.

Here is how I started the fight:

* I brought TWO "Attuned Dampener" items from doing Chromie's repeatable quest twice, elsewhere in Anderhal. This one-time-use item is designed to do a lot of damage to Araj, but you can bring multiple.
* I approached Araj from the south, and cleared out a lot of space to fight. There's a demolished house directly south of Araj (or maybe southeast) that was great to fight in, because the tiny remaining walls can be used to block his frostbolts, helping to waste time waiting for the 2nd Attuned Dampener to be ready (there's a 1-min cooldown between each).
* I was able to pull Araj without any adds, by approaching from the south, from the the east side of that house (outside the house, on a brick road). There were like 8 skeletons to the right of Araj from my POV, but none of them came with him, luckily.
* I cast Power Word: Shield beforehand, just to be sure he didn't one-shot me, but honestly he doesn't do much damage at all, especially after the Attuned Dampener.
* I pulled with with Holy Fire, then I quickly got behind a wall of the house, to pull Araj closer to me, otherwise he just stands there, casting frost bolt (pulling him closer is important to successfully loot the Phylactory thingy that drops near his corpse afterward!).
* Once he got to me safely, I think that's when I did my first Attuned Dampener, and got all my DOTs up (undead priests get an extra good DOT).

Here's what happened during the fight:

* Early in the fight, he summoned 2-5 ghost dogs. As soon as I saw him do this, I was like "OH ok, they really don't want you to solo this..."
* HOWEVER, the ghost dogs did hardly any damage, and despawned 20-30 seconds after spawning! So by simply keeping Power Word: Shield up, I was able to completely ignore the ghost dogs until they despawned.
* (Note: I did do 1 Holy Nova, just to check the HP of the dogs. Just mentioning it here in case it was a necessary step to despawning the dogs.)
* The "Attuned Dampener" had a 1-minute cooldown before I could use the 2nd "Attuned Dampener" that I brought. So I kept an eye on the 2nd one, and casted it as soon as it was ready.
* Each "Attuned Dampener" did about 33% of his HP in damage.
* I tried to drag out the fight and let the DOTs and Attuned Dampeners and Wand hits do all the damage--I don't recall casting any Smites or Mind Blasts during the fight, because I wanted to save all my mana for shields and heals, and keeping the DOTs up.
* He summoned 2-5 ghost dogs again toward the end of the fight, but I was able to survive them just with Power Word: Shield and one big self-heal, until they despawned.
* A few times during the fight, I got behind a wall of the house, so that Araj's next frostbolt would fail. However, I actually didn't do it that often. I wouldn't call it a kiting fight. I actually preferred to stand around and get a lot of Wand damage in--I had brought a pretty good wand. I didn't want a third set of dogs to spawn, I was worried they wouldn't despawn.
* The total fight was only about 90 seconds, I bet.

Here are the mistakes I made:

* I tried to cast a 2 second spell at some point, while the dogs were hitting me, and didn't have Power Word: Shield running. That was dumb, it took forever to get the cast to finish, and the dogs did a ton of damage in that time. And I wasn't standing behind a wall, so I was getting pelted by frost bolts too. I used a mana pot after that.
* I could have brought a 3rd "Attuned Dampener" and it would have been even easier. Although the fight didn't last long enough to use a 3rd one anyway.
* Once I saw the ghost dogs, I stopped taking the fight seriously, I figured it was impossible to solo. I wasted a ton of mana trying to kill the ghost dogs, not knowing they would despawn.

I'm not sure if there are multiple versions of this fight depending on the expansion, but I'll mention that Araj was elite lvl 61, and did not have any other Elites nearby. He spawned on the central fountain in Anderhal and doesn't walk around.

Commentaire de Loratadine

Commander Ashlam Valorfist was not spawned (nor any of the other NPCs in the area) when I was trying to turn this quest in. I logged into a different character, then relogged and all the NPCs were there and I was able to turn in the quest.
