The second key is in the steamvaults, in the water next to the first boss, just dive in and its on the bottom.

Commentaire de 18361

There are three ways to go about doing this quest.

First and most obvious, complete the instances. The fragment from Steamvault is at the bottom of the pond leading up to the Naga boss. The fragment from Arcatraz is on the right side of the room where the first boss (a voidwalker) is at.

Second, you can "borrow" someoen's completed instances. Do a /who check on who's doing the instances and ask them if they can preserve the group after they've cleared it. Then, simply go in and acquire the fragments.

Third, if you're a druid or a rogue, then you can actually solo (if u're a rogue) or duo (if u're a driud) this. Second fragment is straightforward, stealthing into the pond wouldn't be a problem at all if you had at least 1 point into Master of Deception/feral instinct. The third fragment from arcatraz is slightly more difficult. You need to go through a narrow tunnel before you reach the room with the fragment, and in that tunnel sits a mechanical bot that does an AoE lightning zap which hits all targets around him every 2 seconds. If you're a rogue, then turn on sprint and run through him, and vanish until AFTER you're well out of the range of his lightning (which is around 15 yards). If you're a druid, then you must have another rogue or druid to help you pull him away; note that, even if you are hit by his lightning, you won't get into combat, so just wait for prowl to cooldown after u get hit by the lightning, and run into the room.

The second key is soloable for a lvl 68+mage. Train invisiblity, buy some invisibility potions and go into Steamvaults(second instance on the left). Get as close to the first set of mobs as you can, pop invisibility, run dead center(the bog lords to the left and right can detect invis) then a little to the right after the first stone column(about a 100 meter run from start to pool). Just as invis is running out pop a invis potion and dive into the pool. The arcane container is at the bottom of the pool(20 meters down)

Commentaire de cosa

For rogue:

1st key fragment: /who Shadow Labyrinth - ask them to invite you after they kill the boss, go in and pick fragment, go back to Khadgar
2nd key fragment - Stealth through mobs @ start, few distracts here and there and dive into big pool on right side of 1st boss in Steamvault
3rd key fragment - Stealth in Arcatraz, if you have key or 350 LP (you should have), wait @ start till those beeings cease a bit attack on defenders and stealth through, pass 2 big rooms and pick glass stairway up, you will see some mobs on passage - Sentinel is the one that you shall be carefull about, he have that lightning attack - stealth, sprint, Clos (no need for vanish, save it if needed for void room), once you pass sentinel make right turn and you will see container

Voila... Black Morass avaits

Commentaire de Escape

There is an easy way and a hard way to do this quest easy way is to just /who steamvaults and /who Arcatraz, and ask the people in there can you come in when there done to get your key, the hard way is to do the instance. GL with this quest :)

Looted 3rd key fragment last night. (70 Mage)
You will need 2 swiftness potions and 1 invisibility potion.
Of course you may want to bring more in case you fail. You will need either a rogue or someone with the key to open the door.
You will also need a soulstone from a lock.

Once you enter the instance walk to the middle of the stairs, use the swiftness potion then cast invisibility. If you use the potion after invis it will negate the invis.

Run through the hall and make a right into the corner and keep yourself as close to the way as possible. ( you will see mobs constantly passing by as they are battling those elves)
Once the invis cooldown is up, cast it and run as far as you can until 2 seconds are left then use the invis pot and run up the ramp. On the ramp there is a usually a 69 non-elite protean who pats around, just kill it. There are also 3 corpses before the hallway with the sentry. Sheep all 3 so they despawn. Do not sheep the body next to the sentry it will aggro.
Once the invis cooldown is up cast ice barrier (if you have it), mana shield and if you have fel blossoms (from herbing) then use swiftness pot and invis and run through the hallway into the room with the voidwalkers and hook an immediate right. The container is in the corner. The sentry will aggro once you run past it while invis but it has a slight delay before attacking, just keep refreshing mana shield and use a ruby if needed. Blink to the corner and die then wait for the voidwalker to pat far enough away, then soulstone and loot. Hope this helps. (got this from youtube)

Second fragment still can be soloed by rogue , used potion.

Commentaire de Dizaster

Solo'd Steamvaults key last night as 70 mage using no pots. I was slow spec'd for the spawned key guard though. Just run through first 2 guards, FN, pop invis, blink left. Run straight through to water, blinking right as invis wears off. Easy. You can eat/drink right on the pool lip w/o aggroing the mobs behind you.

Commentaire de zenmastervex

70 Rogue, just solo'ed the third fragment. Here's how...

In the room with the sentinal, there are also two larvae-work things. They're non-elite and can be killed quite easily. You can pull them from the corner without aggroing the sentinal.

In the Voidwalker (VW) room there are 3 mobs to worry about. The first is a fleshling beast. He's non-elite, just pull him into the sentinal room and kill him. The second mob that poses an issue is a VW that patrols from the center of the room to the doorway of the sentinal room. Third, there is another VW that patrols from the center of the room to the arcane container. These patrols are random, but every once in a while they do match up. The weakness in the room is when they are both in the middle of the room.

First, open the arcane container. If you have good timing and a little luck, you can stealth as the container opens and the keeper spawns. If not, just vanish. After the keeper spawns, the trick is to wait until both the VWs are in the center of the room. Distract them there to ensure they stay in the middle for a few extra seconds. Next, run over to the keeper and gun/bow/throw pull him. Have him follow you back to the sentinal room, and kill him there.

This way you don't have to deal with voidwalkers, and you can take your time on the keeper.

Commentaire de 24844

Just did this as a druid prowled to the bottom of the lake opened it's container and realized that I should of read more about this quest when the guardian cought me off guard. I was lucky had tank set on but it took 1 healing pot 1 Nagrand cherry (underwater breathing) and one barkskin/HT/Regrowth to live through it .

If I had paid attention it would of been an easy fight.

Commentaire de 24914

Cant you pretty much solo anything with cheap ass camo?? <======Jealous warlock :D

Commentaire de 15940

Solo'd second key fragment as a Hunter. Sent pet as distraction to mobs and Aspect of the cheetah through the clear path, when pet dies FD. Pop an invisibilty potion to get to the water, rez pet then drink/eat on the edge of the water. Casted misdirection on pet and dropped in immolation trap before i spawned the guard. Used mend pet once then @ 50% I freeze trapped the guard and bandaged pet, got range and sent him back in, FD so he had aggro then used rapid fire and went all out to finish him. Very easy. On my way to try third .

Commentaire de Xukimonde

While it's nice that so many classes are capable of soloing these key fragments, let's all take some time to remember that instances were intended for groups.

Don't forget to ask people on your friend or guild list (at least) if they are also in need of the key fragment you're going for. It's much more efficient to go in as a group and wreck up the joint than it is to cunningly solo up to them and miss out on four other people you could run Karazhan with not having their fragments completed.

Commentaire de 31010

You can actually still use the "borrow instance" strategy as of 2.10. Even though blizzard supposedly fixed it in 2.07, it is still possible to get the key fragement in a completed instance. As long as nobody that ran the instance earlier needed to get it. As of 2.07 when you open the arcane container, a elite mob comes out and attacks you. The mob is fairly easy to solo as it has only 15k hp and is stunlockable (to my fellow rogues). Once you kill this mob you can loot him for the key fragment.

Commentaire de 31433

I just soloed both these fragments and wanted to give some tips on the 3rd fragment (the one in arcatraz) It was much more involved then the steamvualt's second fragment.

First have at least 350 lock picking or the arcatraz key.

Once inside, there is a short hallway at the end of which there is a larger circular room with a fight going on. Fleshling style mobs are running to into the room opposite the side you entered on. Blood elves are killing them quickly. I moved to the side of the doorway the fleshlings are coming through then waited for the BE frontline to finish off one of the bigger black fleshlings then when the rest hug the narrow hallway's wall and move into the next room (with 5 ranks of MOD you practically have to touch hall mobs to pull aggro).

The next room was my least favorite part. The first time through was a breeze cause i got lucky with the timing. After that I realized that the right side of the room (where the next hallway is) was where the fleshings for the first room were spawning. If they repop on you your sunk or have to use a vanish. Hugging the wall to the right when you enter the room gave me the best results. Enter the next hallway paying mind to those corpses on the floor (all BE corpses in here spawn fleshlings.. don't walk on them.

After this short hallway, there will be a translucent ramp straight ahead and to your right. Hug a side of this ramp and head up it. It will straighten out towards the top then narrow to a small hallway. There is a sentinel on the left side of this hallway in its center. Be sprinting when you enter the hall and immediately after entering the hall use Cloak of Shadows. You should resist his laser.. if you don’t... use vanish. Hug the right wall after exiting the hallway. The fragment container is on this wall. Move to the corner by the container then wait for the voidwalker patrol to move to the center of the room. I like every reasonable advantage when I’m fighting an elite of my level so I did this.

Drink Potions. If you have an agility and mongoose, DRINK THE MONGOOSE FIRST. If you drink agility pots first mongoose will override them. Take whatever else you like… then keep either a health pot , armor pot or invulnerability pot handy for the fight. In short, buff up.

When the voidwalker has patrolled away open the container. Put 5 combo points on the guardian then vanish. Wait 5 minutes for vanish to cool down ( I waited in the same corner as the guardian).

Then the fight. When the voidwalker patrols away he pauses sometimes before he clears the wall (the wall to your right when you stand in the corner and face the guardian). He is still in aggro range here. Once he moves away, DPS the crap out of the guardian. Use all your cool downs but save evasion (unless you have prep) in case the voidwalker comes back earlier … if it looks like you will kill the guardian before the voidwalker comes back go ahead and pop evasion too. Keep in mind the guardian can be stunned and poisoned too!

Buffed, I had about 7k Hp and about the best gear you could quest by yourself plus a couple of instance drops. My armory profile is under the same name, I’m convinced mace spec saved me. When I did kill him I had him and the voidwalker pounding on me and 44 health left D:

Good luck. Also I recommend doing this fragment first so you can laugh at how easy the steam vault one is :D

Commentaire de 4638

Did both the second and third key fragments this afternoon. The second fragment really isn't very difficult at all as a 70 rogue. I only had one point into MoD and it made a very noticeable difference. Once you get to the pool (which really only takes like 30 seconds from the zone in) you can take all the time in the world on the elemental, so you can blind/bandage, etc without worry of adds as mentioned above.

The third fragment is way more difficult in comparison, don't expect to get it your first shot. Nirodha's run through is excellent by the way. Using CoS through the lightning works wonders, but do be sure you don't get antsy and hit it too early into the tunnel or it will run out before you clear it and you gotta blow vanish. Moreover, you could find yourself running straight through a voidwalker or the little horror dudes and then you're toast =)

Be wary of positioning, too close to the sentinel and he'll jump you, too close to the bloodelf corpse and you got bugs. Each run through there was kind of hit or miss to some extent.

The fight itself is pretty straightforward again, the problem being you REALLY have to unload in order to get the elemental down before the voidwalker paths too close. Expect the voidwalker to aggro and use evasion and vanish near the end.

If you have trouble killing him in time, Zemmstervex's alternative listed here works too albeit a lot of patience is needed. If those two VW aren't right smack in the center, they will for sure aggro you while pulling the elemental.

Solo'ed as a 70 mage with invis pot and stoneshield pot :D

Commentaire de 40648

Solo'd as a Mage 70. I took a speed potion and got invisible so I could go to the stone pillarbetween the first boss and the path to the second boss. Then took a Major Defense and Mastery Potion to kill the mob. Ended the fight with 284 HP.
I would recommand doing this with a group, but it's so much challenging alone :p

Commentaire de 42043

I used another group's instance for 3rd fragment but I had to do Steamvault to get the 2nd because I can't stealth as a Paladin... I tried invisibility potion but it makes every NPC invisible too so I just walked into a patrol without knowing like an idiot, you know the rest...

Commentaire de Ttsupra

Solo'd as a 70 combat rogue. I just needed a healing potion.

Commentaire de 48005

im a lvl 70 shammy could i solo this with an invs pot run in as far as i can then use ankh if i die close enough to the pool? this is 4 the steam vault part

Commentaire de 48074

The key guardian, despite looking like a VW, classes as a beast. Druids can just Hibernate and Starfire it; it's not immune. I did this for the second key fragment. It took me a while, but I never got hit once.

Commentaire de 58208

I think you guys forgot to mention that for the second and third u do have to solo a70 leet if u are stealthing alone.. so bring a druid buddy or a rogue at that..=O

Commentaire de Comely

Solo'd SV key as a frost mage, used a lesser invisibility pot and invisiblity, just solo'd the first pull to give myself more room.

Commentaire de 45732

I used invisibility on mai mage and soloed the second fragment. the third fragment, i jus got arc group and went.

Commentaire de 78676

the second key fragment is extremely easy to get if u are rogue or druid.u just have to solo the 70elite which drops the key.and its easy to get there(only have to watch out for the giants which detect invisibility).carry some pots with you in case u need hem for the elite.easiest thing is to get another rogue/druid to do it with you.
the third key fragment is hard to solo since its impossible not to pull the nearby voidwalker.but you just have to find a party which has completed the instance in order to invite you and let you in.make sure they havent opened the container in that run.
2nd key frag:Steamvaults-Coilfang reservoir
3rd key fragment Arcatraz-Tempest Keep

Commentaire de 45422

It is possible to do this as a Warrior solo also.. kind of tricky though.

You'll need a soulstone from a warlock.

Pop on tanking gear and go in defensive stance.

Second, run as close as you can to the first mobs, pop an invisiblity potion and then use your nifty stopwatch, run around to the left (to avoid the stealth detecting giant mob) and get as close to the water as you can, by the time you are around there, your invisibility will be wearing off, so you must die between the hallway and the pack of 4 mobs there, make sure you can use the soulstone in a safe spot, because you'll need to be out of combat when you res up to use another invis pot.

Once you res, use the next pot and jump to water.. open thing and kill mob.. get fragment.

Of course it might be easier finding a group to just do this, since you have to wait 10 minutes to use the potion again, but meh, if you know a warlock that won't mind soulstoning you I guess it's worth it.

Commentaire de 83736

:: Colalight - 68Holy priest ::

Today I got the first 2 keyfragments in notime, real easy to do! but getting the third keyfragment as a lvl 68 seems pretty impossible :O Since you need a flying mount to enter Arcatraz and you can't be summoned by a warlock in Netherstorm, which leads to being forced to lvl to 70 and get a flying mount before you are able to enter Arcatraz :((

Allthough, druids can have flightform at lvl 68, so they can go there anyways.. nerf!

Commentaire de 93374

All the comments regarding what to do, to obtain the Third Key Fragment are great, I would like to add something I just did with a group of 4. After clearing trash in the Arcatraz up to the archway into the First boss's room we all simply used Invisibility Potions, ran to the Ramp, done. :) None of us were stealth class (Enhance Shaman, Resto Shaman, Hunter and Warlock). Easiest key run ever :D

-Sinop-
Enhancement Shaman

Commentaire de 81685

did the SV key frag as a resto shaman solo. here's how:

buy some invis potions. go into the instance as close to the first mobs as you can. drink invis potion and run straight and then turn right at the pillar. now this is the hard part (i'm an engineer so i had the rocket boots) the potion will be wearing off around that first pillar and you need to atleast make it into the water. you can try to drop the earth elemental totem and put Earth shield on yourself. or find some other trinket that will help you survive till you get in the water.

once in the water let them kill you and use reincarnation. you can get back out of the water as long as you stay right at the edge so you can drink/eat.

now you can most likely solo the key frag gaurdian but i decided to use my fire elemental to speed things up. kill the guy and get the frag.

good luck to ya

Commentaire de 74322

Note that you need the ability to fly to get to the third key fragment. A Warlock cannot summon you up to the entrance platform.

The 2nd key fragment in Steamvault can easily be soloed as a 70 druid,
prowl/sprint to the water. Cast regrowth and rejuvenation before opening the Arcane Container then bear form and mangle/maul away (may want to bash then heal if required ,make sure you swim back up so you don't drown :)

I just soloed the guardian as lvl 70 rogue not good geared just gladi MH And OH~~ Not merciless at all. just used all my cd's . and as for combat piece of cake~~

Commentaire de Infernus

Just solo'd the 2nd frag as a 70 feral druid (0/50/11). Been 70 for only a few hours, in greens and blues with 8.5k HP in catmode. I stealthed thru... which lemme tell ya it's crowded in SV, all the elementals walkin' around, I was nervous about gettin' seen, the Boglords 100% you need to avoid the detect invisible.

Found the container, opened it, changed to cat, dps'd him popped my trinkets until he had me to 50% HP, then I deformed, HP pot, bear mode, finish. Ended the fight close to death, but got er done.

I'm omw to Arcatraz right now, have a rogue guildmate meetin' me there.

Commentaire de Infernus

Continued from last post...

1st attempt... The rogue & I made it to the sentinel's hallway... rogue made it past, I did not

2nd attempt... I was alone... still did not make it past... I gave up...

Commentaire de Vlet

Okay, after 5 tries, I don't see how anyone can solo the third frag. Unless you can take down the guardian in 8 seconds, you're gonna get agro off one of the patrols.

Commentaire de 105107

u'll get the secoun key from SV its in the water before the first boss then u have to do ARC after the first boss u go up there is a place that have alot of shadow elementals in the right of the entrance of that room u'll find the third frag !

Commentaire de 11253

Easily soloed as a 70 Feral Druid, prowl/sprint to the water. Cast regrowth and rejuvenation before opening the Arcane Container then bear form and mangle/maul away (may want to bash then heal if required ,make sure you swim back up so you don't drown :)

Commentaire de 115424

Easily soloed as a 70 BM hunter. Used one invis pot to get in... here's how I did it.

1: Pull the 1st double pack. Trap one, and run by the other wing clipping it. Make sure you time this pull so you can run out into the open past them without getting the pathers on you.

2: As you run past where they were standing, you can run straight out into an open area of sorts. Go as far as you can while still allowing you to feign, and get back up without entering combat. (IF YOU MESS THIS PART UP YOU WILL ENTER COMBAT. YOU CANNOT USE AN INVIS POT WHILE IN COMBAT!)

3: Feign, and get back up. As soon as you're up put on aspect of the cheetah and pop an invis pot. the 15 seconds of invisibility is enough to get all the way to the ramp above the water, or into the water.

4: From here all you have to do is loot the container with an immolation trap down, and heal your pet as you kill it. Mend pet is just enough to keep your pet long enough while you dps the mob down. I would suggest standing back a ways, and dpsing as much as you can until you pull aggro from the pet. Wait until the mob gets to you or even hits you once and then feign. This will allow your mend pet to heal your pet up a bit.

5: Hearth out.

I only tried it once and my pet died as I killed it. I'm sure if I wasn't a 3 hour old 70 I could have done it much easier, but still not too much of a challenge. I did all the running with my full gear on, but I lost so little health on the 1st pull that I could have easily done it naked for safety. Good luck everyone!

Commentaire de Welk

As many have said here, if you're a feral druid, don't bother trying to get a group for the second key frag. It is so easy to stealth in and kill the guardian while in bear form. I didn't even have to heal since he didn't get me below 65%.

Commentaire de Vitaropago

Note that you can get the fragments in both the normal and heroic mode instances.

Commentaire de 158969

can i do this in heroic?

Commentaire de b1ackcat

has anyone else solo'd this in 2.4.2? I've made it to the key frag room (with much frustration, that hallway with the constant waves is a bit tricky, and vanish doesn't like to work if you don't resist the sentinels lightning, since he'll just lightning you again). but I can't seem to find a break in the pats that last long enough to pull the frag guardian into the hall.

Commentaire de b1ackcat

Confirmed you CAN still use someone else's instance. I got an invite from people who had just finished their run, and as long as one of them is the leader, there's no problem. (soloing the arcatraz key is a PAIN.)

Commentaire de 175231

For some reason its a bitch for me to get a SV group for this quest.

Commentaire de phetus

I soloed it but it wasn't easy. I'm shadowstep so it was easy to stealth to the hallway outside of the sentinel's room, then I had to pop rocket boots, run around the corner and cloak/vanish to avoid getting hit by the sentinel's lightning. After that, wait for the pat to move back into the middle of the room, distract him, and pull the maggots. You'll have to do one body at a time, otherwise the pat will return. Do the same distract sequence, then open the container, kill the guardian, and loot the key. The pat returned by then but I was able to vanish and hearth.

I've got mostly s4 with s2 weapons (with engineering gear) so I imagine it's nearly impossible as a fresh 70 rogue.

Commentaire de biggayal

soloed the SV part on a mage with no pots easy
pull the 1st two mobs nova then blink cast invis get asfar as u can without pulling more mobs just run past the 1st piller on the left u wanna be huging the wall by the time invis wears out wait 5 min have ur tea have your smoke
ur next invis will give u loads of time to get to the water to the east :)

Commentaire de Darkmanian

Just wanted to revise the SV fragment for anyone who wishes to attempt to stealth it.

My 70 boomkin druid managed to stealth it, but I wouldnt advise non-stealth classes to try this. Though it is possible, its almost 10x harder.
Firstly I pulled the pat at the entrance, roots one, and dps the other down with HoTs on me also. Left entrance to lose aggro. Came back in and only the patrol on the right remained making it easy for me to stealth around him to the left.

Once inside there are a couple of Boglords to the far right that see stealthed enemies so your best bet without pulling them is to navigate thru the patrols stealthed. They are tricky at first and I died once trying to get thru them, but basically your only trying to get just a little bit past them and into the water that is to the not so distant right hand side. I used the pylons for cover because the patrols dont really frequent that route.

Again, it is tricky for a balance druid to get past the patrols unless you have points in stealth (feral). For Rogues I think the equivalent is subtlety. Basically once you hit the water, your home free. In the bottom left hand corner of the lake is the box you need to activate, which will summon a lvl 70 ellite fragment guardian. very easy to solo, just watch your breath so you dont drown.

Make sure your hearth is cd otherwise you'll have to stealth back out like I had to lol.

PS: I basically made this for other bal druids who wanted to be able to try this out. Its also applicable to ppl who want to use pots but its not advised you try that. The patrols are relentless and see through stealth at great distances.

now its a bit harder to solo..when u loot the container ....a guardian will spawn ( 20k hp ) and he will drop the fragment.

70 Lock affliction spec'd solo'd it..

SS and Sac a void. Summon another void and send it at the first two guards to grab agro.. run and sac the void before it dies.. Pop a swiftness and run towards the pool. Pop instant howl and eat a health stone. The trick is dieing near the pool with the Fragment in it, so you can SS in safety and prep for fight with the elemental.

As a hunter for the second key fragment I just used invis pots and aspect of the cheetah...anyways heres a video of a pally doing it, i followed the same path.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

anyone done this as a druid ? the arcatraz part ?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Solo'd this as a 70 hunter with engineering.

Popped gnomish cloaking device and ran straight for the water with aspect of the cheetah on. Spamming lesser invisibility potion over remaining seconds meant I stayed cloaked all the way to the water. As I came out of cloak, aggro'd the last pack before the water. Feigned (luckily no resists) and all set. The guardian is down to you!

Only did this once so don't know if I just got lucky with not running into mobs on the way. Thought this was going to be a pain but thanks to feign death, trivial. Other classes may need Nifty Stopwatch, Swift boots etc to do the speed and get a Soulstone from a lock to emulate the feign!

Good luck!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Quote: "The third key fragment is a bit trickier to stealth, but I got it done. Try cloak of shadow and sprint in stealth to get by the guy with the lightning aura. If it still hits you, vanish and you're in the room with the key fragment. Take a right in the room with the Voidwalkers. It is in the corner and far enough from mobs to grab it. Happy hunting."

Correct. It worked for me.

Took more time than 3 arcatraz runs or so, get a group for the 3rd fragment.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

With the patch released today (2.0.7), they have changed the Arcane Vessels to spawn level 70 elites. I have not verified that this happens with the first fragment, but it did with the second and someone posted the same for the third. The elemental doesn't guard the vessel, he has the drop, so you have to kill him to get the fragment.

The one I fought had about 20K HP and hit my cloth-wearing butt pretty hard. It's not easy kiting in the water :(. After 2 tries and many consumables, I had the second fragment. It can still be done solo, but it is much harder now. The video posted below was very helpful, positioning is very important to avoid aggro at the rest point (for mages using Invis). I didn't need speed pots. I aggroed the first 2 guards, novaed and ran past, hitting Invis immediately. Try to time it so the guard pat behind them leaves you some room. Make sure when you get behind the pillar by the Bog Lord that you get up on the land. The water elementals will aggro if you are in the water.

I did use my Nifty Stopwatch for the second part, but I don't think it is needed. The water seems to be safe, but you can't eat/drink. I found a safe landing way down to the south, up a tunnel, near some neutral slaves. The elemental will stop chasing eventually if you have to run. I recommend doing the Invis run naked to save on repair bills, it took a few tries to get everything down.

confirmed the 70 elite does spawn for the first key in Shadow Labyrinth

Commentaire de Allakhazam

2 rogues in stealth; very easy to get it (after 2.0.7 ofc). The elemental went down easily. Only problem was aggro of the voidwalker in the room. But if you open the container when he is at farthest point and 1 rogue use distract .. it is ok. After auto loot we vanished and HS after. Easy!

ps Dont forget to use Cloak of Shadows when sprinting (in stealth ofc) passed the guardian. Vanish if your stealth breaks.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

On the left side of the bridge entrance which is guarded by 2Nagas, there is a hill, climb on and get into the water, the key is just down there.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I got the Steamvaults fragment as an elemental shaman with the help of some lesser inviso pots. If you pop the pot and run straight down the stairs you will die somewhere around the middle of the first room. Wait the 10 minutes for the inviso pot to be off CD then reincarnate and pop the second pot (do it fast, you can't use them in combat). If you run like you're going to go up the ramp but instead go up the hill to the left you can make it to the water with no problem.

Fire elemental totem (not even needed really the arcane guardian is easily soloable)and congrats, you have your key frag.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The third fragment is in Arcatraz in Tempest Keep.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

2nd key fragment is in The Steamvault in the pool of water just before the room of the 1st boss.

3rd key fragment is in Arcatraz (lockpick skill 350 or the Key To Arcatraz required) Staircase up from 1st bosses room, then in the 1st room after the guards

Looting the container spawns a mob which must be killed to loot the key fragments

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I can't do it. :( Which way do you go from entrance for Second fragment. And I only get invisibility for 20 seconds.

Nvm I got it. As a mage, go from entrance and ice barr, run pass the first 2 guards and nova them. Blink toward the left a bit and put on invis. Keep going east toward the water and it should activate before you get spotted. Keep going, when your invis is just about to run out blink into the water it's in the northern corner underwater.

The second key fragment is in the Steamvault. It's actually not very far into the instance. Head for Warlord Kalithresh. The bridge before him goes over some water. Hop in and it's UNDERWATER off in a corner on the left side of the bridge (Jump off on the right side, the left has rails). Goofy place =/

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just got the second fragment by stealthing to the place, easy to get to.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The second key fragment is very easy to solo as a mage. At the entrance use a swiftness potion then hit invisibility and run to the area close to the bog lord. Wait for the cooldown on the Invisibility, then use it again and run to the water.. very easy, done in 5 minutes with no deaths.

See this picture for a better look.

Or see This video that I made for a friend so he could do it.

First of all if u have a lockpick skill 350 then u dont need the instance door key.. enter the instance, stealth,go down,pass the corridor while they r fighting each other.. turn right.. carefully pass the room from right side and have the ramp up (u r still stealth).. kill the small single pat (circling from down to up).. dont be very near to the corpses in front of door (they spawn some small mobs).. now sprint + shadowcloak + stealth and run in.. if the dead sentry bot hits u with lightning bolt then vanish.. turn to right corner of the room and stop after key fragment.. u r still stealth.. watch the mobs for a safe distance to grab the fragment.. yep, thanks to "Cincodeseuss" who gave us this idea.. it really works..

Commentaire de Allakhazam

being a mage I wanted to try and do this invisible and not waste time in steamvault....

so I bought 5 swiftness potions, and if you look at This after the Entrance (E) there is a "dip" or part that jets out on the bottom side, a few steps after you walk in, in this little "dip" there is a bog lord, I was able to hit swiftness, invisi and bail in this little dip in pleanty of time, be carful not to agro the water elementals behing you and the bog lord in front, I then waited 5 min for invis to cool off, then hit swiftness and invisi and was able to make it

the place to go is in the small river right below Thespia on this map when you do make it, just dive underwater and grab it

took me 2 deaths to get this to work... but well worth it!

good luck hope it helps

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Well, I got let in to Arcatraz today by a guildie, and I couldn't get the Fragment. After trying to Vanish twice on the AoE robot, I still lost stealth three times and died for some reason.

Okay, try number two. I loot the fragment and...70 Elite spawns and kills me.

Gotta kill a 70 Elite with ~17k health to get the Third Fragment now.

I am so pissed off.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I did this a bit differently.

You will need some people to help you out. I recommend a tank, healer, burst DPS (preferably a rogue with lock picking 350+, in case no one has the key for Tempest) and a couple of ranged DPS.

We entered the instance, killed everything and collected the keys.

Good luck.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

OK we know people can solo it but I can't understand why people want to. Why would you want to skip an instance? They're usually one of the most fun parts of the game and one of the best ways to get decent gear. I think that a player who doesn't do the hard yards and work through an instance with a group probably wont:

Have good enough gear to do well in kara since you haven't got the good drops. Sure you can pvp for gear but pvp gear doesn't always make good raid gear
Know how to work properly in a group. I think the instances leading up to kara are a good opportunity for you to learn how to work effectively in a group for high level stuff. Even if you're an experienced player making a new toon, every class is different. I play my hunter well but my shaman who's approaching 70? Still need experience at playing a shammy in a group before I'll say I can play him well in a group.

If I was going on a kara run I'd be a little nervous about trusting in someone who had only got there by sneaking in to an instance here and there for the key without getting adequately prapared for it.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I solo'd this quest with my rogue. Pretty easy stealthing.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

soloed as a mage. Used invis, and it wore off right before the entrance to the hallway..waited 5 mins, popped it again, ran out just as i jumped off the bridge. Swam down and got it.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

No idea how can you solo 3rd key fragment.
You can avoid robot who do AoE just run through and use vanish, that's easy.
But when you enter room with giants (even when you are still in tunel) they do AoE Shadow aura, there is no way you can avoid it, no idea how can you avoid them, that's impossible.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The third key fragment is a bit trickier to stealth, but I got it done. Try cloak of shadow and sprint in stealth to get by the guy with the lightning aura. If it still hits you, vanish and you're in the room with the key fragment. Take a right in the room with the Voidwalkers. It is in the corner and far enough from mobs to grab it. Happy hunting.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You can stealth all the way to the hallway where the sentinel with the lighting shield is. From there... the key fragment is through the hall and immediately to the right. I just found a warlock to soulstone me... stealthed to the sentinel with the lightning shield... sprinted and ran through the hallway... into the corner where I died. It's best to time your sprint so there isn't a voidwalker impeding you process. Die in the corner... wait until the mobs path away... res, loot the fragment and enjoy. You may want to do it once or twice without the soulstone. You should be able to sprint far enough to see the key fragment and the area where you want to die. Then find a warlock to soulstone you. And in case you're worried... even though the shots from the guards in the very first room look to be aoe damage... I was never hit by it... just time your move passed the defenders into the hallway where the little mobs keep coming so that you have enough time to get to the side so they don't see you.

I tried to stealth into arcatraz for the 3rd key fragment. At some point you go up a ramp and get to a small hallway with some corpses and a dead sentry bot (with an electric aura). When you get close to him he starts to hit you with ligtning bolts
which will break stealth, I died there.

I'm gonna try with nature gear on and hope i resist the lightning bolt cause when you resist a spell it doesn't break stealth.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Or you could just vanish after you get hit by the lightning bolt, if your subtley you can just do it again on your way out, works. I just entered with my lockpicking 350 skill, stealted to the room, got hit with lightning, vanished, looted the container, vanished again and stealthed out. CoS works as well.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Is there still enough time for a rogue to get the third fragment with the change to how looting the keys works?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

70 druid, had no problems with 2nd key frag stealthed in with a rogue freind smashed and grabbed key frag.

3rd key frag was lil more difficult after stealthing through got to arcane guardian, worked out that if you have a rogue with you both in stealth, have your rogue pop a cloak of shadows and sprint and druids then can pop a dash and stay on the heels of the rogue, the arcane guardian will only target the rogue in front, then straight to right hand cnr and 3rd key frag is yours =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Guys, No one really give's a !@#$ if you solo'd it with your hands tied behind your back.

VALID INFO (Which you won't find because the noobs who like to brag make it hard to find)

Second Key Frag:
Steamvaults, It's before the first boss (you don't have to kill him) Jump in the water to the right of the first boss, Go down to the north bottom corner, Once you loot it You'll have to kill an Elite. Kill it somehow whatever way you want and Loot the key.

Third Key Frag:
Temptest Keep, Arcatraz.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Thanks for letting us know the instances allacyFTW & others who gave the location, I wasn't too happy about having to run through multiple instances because I didn't know which instance in Tempest keep and Coilang. I wish others had included that info in with all the soloing, which I don't particularly care about but others do.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Third fragment is in Alcatraz.
After the first boss you go up the stairs, up there its a room with Voidwalkers, and as you enter the room the fragment is in the corner to the right.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just soloed the 70 elite for the second fragment as a 70 druid in bearform with 11.5k armor and 11.2k hp.

Commentaire de Sipder2

Deuxième fragment de la clé drop from Gardien du second fragment. This guy appear after interact with Récipient arcanique in Le Caveau de la vapeur.
Récipient arcanique is located before the first boss inside the water. After enter the dungeon go straight until reach the water.

Troisième fragment de la clé drop from Gardien du troisième fragment. This guy appear after interact with Récipient arcanique in L'Arcatraz.
To enter into L'Arcatraz you need someone with Clé de l'Arcatraz or a rogue with lockpick on the group.
Récipient arcanique is located on the room with Dark Elementals (right side), after the first boss.

Le deuxième et le troisième fragments

Trouver le Deuxième fragment de la clé dans un récipient arcanique à l'intérieur du Réservoir de Glissecroc, et le Troisième fragment de la clé dans un récipient arcanique au Donjon de la tempête. Une fois que ce sera fait, revenir auprès de Khadgar à Shattrath.

	Deuxième fragment de la clé (1)
	Troisième fragment de la clé (1)

Description

J'ai caché le deuxième fragment au fond du lac des Serpents, bien avant qu'on ne lui donne ce nom. La vidange géante qui a été installée après la prise de contrôle par les nagas a probablement projeté le récipient dans les profondeurs du réservoir de Glissecroc.

Le troisième fragment sera sans doute le plus ardu, car je l'ai laissé à l'intérieur du donjon de la Tempête à l'époque où il était contrôlé par les naaru. C'est Kael'thas qui le dirige maintenant, et la pièce en question est devenue une prison.

Retrouvez-moi ces autres fragments, <nom>. Votre réussite est la clé de l'avenir.
