The Remains of Kroshius - (45, 35)

Kommentar von 808

Soloable at 60 or thereabouts. The key to killing him is that he's Fearable, so you can mostly just wait 'till he's risen, Fear him, DoT him up, then send your pet after him. He spawns in a nice, isolated bit of Felwood, so you almost certainly won't have any problems with adds from the craters. Make sure you keep an eye on him in case Fear breaks early. Keep a Health and SoulStone up, just in case, and if all else fails, banish'n'bandage.

Kommentar von 8713

For those of your who are slightly more daring, this is easily doable at level 50. You have to be more careful and I personally used Banish a lot more than fear. But bring a lot of bandages and expect to spend a while trying to kill him.

Kommentar von 9594

This quest is easily soloable at 50-53. Be careful, and be patient on this kill:

There are two key spells you will need on this one: Curse of Agony and Fear. I suggest using your imp for the stamina buff, for you might need extra mana via lifetap later if you wish to use corruption as well.

Start the fight, do NOT attack with your imp. Cast fear first, followed by curse of agony, and corruption if you wish. Kroshius is immune to fire spells, so no immolate. Apply Curse of agony and fear as necessary, and when he is at about 10 percent, feel free to nuke him at will.
This fight can take up to 10 minutes, so be sure to remain patient.
When kroshius dies, return to Impsy, and be prepared for a glorius suprise that will be a thing to remember =D

Kommentar von SeriusJones

You can find him at 45, 35, in the valley on the north side of the Shatter Scar Vale. I solod him as a 53 lock, using fear bomb and CoA. I used an imp for stamina buff, and I had Power Word: Fortitude on as well. If you are lower than 53, I recommend finding a duo, or buffs.

Question:

If you fail to defeat him on your first attempt, how do you get the Fel Fire back to try again later?

Kommentar von 9289

To answer my own question:

Discarding and then getting the quest again is the only way I have found to get your Fel Fire back.

Kommentar von JuiCe

I just solo'd him at 55. He toasted my Felguard within seconds, as he hit for 600+ and critted for 1288 on his first hit. EASY to solo if you just keep him dotted and feared - no pet needed. He never ran down to get adds or anything.

Oh, and if he walks over you, you get hit by his fire shield. It only dealt 42 damage to me, but it's worth staying out of his way if he got a few hits on you already.

Kommentar von 28572

This guy has a stupid amount of hit points. But, solo'd at 55 as an affliction lock. He also has a knockback you have to watch out for.

Kommentar von 23424

soloed it as an aff wlock with imp out at lvl 55,he hits around 500-600,which is nothing to worry about,hes fearable,himself,is a 55 elite,so its totally soloable around these lvls,have fun

Kommentar von sixnine

Solo'd at level 56...Didnt have to use any bandages or health stones, but did use a soulstone when I got caught out.

He went through 3 Felguards like butter

Kommentar von 16034

Remains at 45,3-35.3.

Kommentar von 30345

To the guy that said 10 min fight... please dear god get some skill.

Full demo spec lock here, killed him in under 1 min, didnt even have a chance to do a second Soul Fire.

Let me clarify some facts:
- NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE
- NOT A HARD FIGHT
- EASILY SOLOABLE WITH ANY SPEC

If you know what your doing you could easily solo at 50.
I did this quest at 53.

He only got 1 hit on me and it was the knockback move.

Also please dont banish and bandage, just keep all possible dots including Immolate and keep his ass feared... easy fight.

Kommentar von 2drunk2funk

Died first time with imp out at 53. Affliction spec

2nd time, used void for the initial agro, died fairly quick but did help.
Then it was a matter of timing with fear, agony/corruption/searing pain and death coil
I tried imolate a few times but said immune

Just took a while and one pot to get mana up as no pet to for dark pact.

Kommentar von darukaru

Did it as 55, Affliction. I wouldn't have wanted to try any earlier because of spell resist--one missed Fear and you're a wet smear on the ground. Just keep your DoTs refreshed (having UA was a big help) and chain-fear and he'll go down soon enough.

Kommentar von 43019

Just Solo'd as a 56 Demo lock, although i didn't have any of my lvl 56 spells yet, and i didn;t use the talent point yet. I used all of my mana. You HAVE to fear the infernal the entire time because he hits for 600. Killed my felguard whenever it wasn't feared. Had to use fel-dom.. Ended up killing him with about 1k life left and no mana. Probably not doable at much lower of a level. Also used deathcoil. Constantly had dots going and threw in a shadowbolt whenever possible. Was NOT immune to my immolate for some reason. All 3 dots were ticking the entire time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Coords are 45, 35

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this at 52 and had the help of a 56 lock. Barely survived, but we did it. :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest at lvl 57 with a 60 druid and we got stomped at first. He does a kick back that sends you flying. If you get too far away from where he starts out, then he resets.
Finally, I just enslaved Kroshius, and challenged the druid to a duel.
He broke enslavement once, but I was far enough away from him (set him to passive, stay and disable auto kickback) I was able to re-enslave him.
After she beat him for me, she went after me (we were still dueling). I put the smack down :)
And since I was enslaving, I beat her without a pet. I admit that I used a healthstone, but it was still fun.

Kommentar von Thottbot

he's fearable...i solo'd it with my darkpact build and a succubus out...which didn't help much so voidwalker or imp is probably better as the succubus just died early. used healthstone and pot and i think a nightdragon but just kept him dotted and feared...deathcoiled if things looked really bad and feared again.

just keep the dots going and keep it feared..and siphon life helped

Kommentar von Thottbot

Sakkdaddy is right. *bows to Sakkdaddy*

With Sakkdaddy's little push in the right direction. I have solo'd the 55elite with my lvl 53 Warlock.

Fearable is the key word.

I just pulled out my imp (pretty much useless against an infernal) NOT to fight... but to provide me with mana using Dark Pact.

What I did.

Preparation:
I had:
I'm all affliction(Dark Pact)
Runecloth Bandages
All Spells are cooled down(Deathcoil)
Life Full
Mana Full
Confidence
I didn't have but could help:
(Healthstone)
(Soulstone) If you die, he gets all health back. But a quick start for a second run.

Attack:
I'm all Affliction so this is how I did it.
1. Use the Flame on him.
2. Back Up and Wait Till he is Fightable
3. Siphon Life
4. Curse of Agony
5. Fear
6. Corruption
7. Immolate
8. Repeat Steps 3-8 when needed.
ONLY when he is too close to cast Fear then cast Death Coil then Fear
While he is Fear'd and Just running, Drain Life.

If he hits you... Fear then Bandages(or Healthstone)
If you are running out of mana... Dark Pact
If you don't have Dark Pact... CAREFUL use of Life Tap

I did that and beat him... and If I can beat him at lvl 53... i'm sure 52-60 can beat him solo.

I'm not sure how he would be to a lvl 50-51 because of all the Resists.

ps. Thanks Sakkdaddy

Kommentar von Thottbot

Necrosniper, you used too many words to say too little. For all you smart Affliction Warlocks out there, it goes something like this ...

FORGET about all the bandages & potions & confidence ... just summon a pet & pwn him. You could do it with 5 hitpoints if you want!

I just soloed him at 56 without taking 1 point of damage!

Preparation:
Walking south from Kroshius's body, there's a large tree just to your left against the cliff. Kill everything around it. This tree is your battle zone!

Attack:
1. Cast Curse of Exhaustion
2. Turn around & run towards tree
3. Cast Siphon Life & Corruption
4. Run around the tree
5. Life Tap & Dark Pact as necessary
6. RINSE & REPEAT

If you're not Affliction or don't have CoE, this'll still work (trees hinder NPC movement but not line of sight). You'll simply have to insert Fear, Banish, & Bandage throughout the fight.

It's really that simple!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Followed jbskiotaku's advice; I am now convinced one can theoretically do this quest at level 20. Simply find a big fat tree just south of Krosh's remains and run around it keeping dots on him, you don't even have to run that fast because you might accidently lap him. Don't have to be affliction, just run around with siphon and CoA on him. The only problem might be that the tree is fat enough that you might sometimes be out of range for your spells. It took me a matter of 3 minutes to do it, and only got smacked once because a horde came by and I had to run back to Kroshius.

Kommentar von Thottbot

My 53 lock (demonology/destruction spec) and a 54 warrior duo'd him with no problems. As the other posts suggest, fear, DoT, rinse, repeat. Pet and warrior just ran after him and provided some additional DPS and bought me time to recast fear after it faded. Got hit a couple of times but nothing a healthstone couldn't fix in a hurry. Keep the DoTs on him and he actually goes down pretty quick. Didn't even burn through all my mana. Much easier than expected.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok KEY WORD: ENSLAVEABLE!
Find a warlock to help that is 54+ and can enslave demons up to 58, or if u have that spell find somebody to attack it for u. When you rezz Kroshius enslave him, then enter a duel, put Kroshius on Passive and work down his health with ease, before he is dead the warlock must release him so he is not a minion but an enemy, then take wat life he has left and loot his core. out of all the times iv killed him this was by far the easiest and funnest. Good Luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did this last night (52, affliction) using the CoEx strategy. Cleared out the area around a nearby tree, before summoning Krosh. Only thing, the mobs respawned while Krosh was about half health...I died. So I scouted out the area and found a safe path to the road. And on the next try, kited Krosh all the way down Felwood. This worked great:

1. No mobs on the road.
2. Added benefit of shocking players as you run by them, lol (Wish I took some screenshots!)
3. Very likely someone will stop and help you along the way, quickening the process - thanks to the 2 hunters (shadow council) who did just that for me :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. Summon Void
2. Summon Kroshius
3. Sac Void
4. Enslave Kroshius
5. Sick Kroshius on enemy infernal
6. When Kroshius is nearly dead, banish enemy infernal
7. Dismiss Kroshius within SAFE DISTANCE
8. Have potions, healthstone, bandage hotkeyed
9. Immolate ( YES, HE TAKES FIRE DAMAGE!)
10. Conflagulate ( see Above )
11. Loot Dead Kroshius while enemy infernal is still banished

EASY. It only looks tough.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just did this solo at 51.

He hits pretty hard, prepare some major health potions and bandages.

Get away from him at the start then just fear and dot, don't let him get close to you. Recast fear whenever he breaks it. I used an imp as a mana battery (dark pact), so the mana wasn't a problem for me. I've also noticed that he doesn't move as fast as you.

It took me about 3 minutes, but the fight was fun!

Kommentar von Thottbot

After dieing several times trying to solo this quest at 52 I finally found the easiest method to do this.

Get close to his remains (45,35), but don't yet awaken him, spin the camera round so you can watch the pool south of you and wait until you see one of the elite infernals patrolling towards you. (One regularily circles the pool)

Awaken Kroshius and Curse Of Shadows > Enslave him, even with no points in Improved Enslave he'll hold plenty long enough for the next part.

Set him on that elite Infernal that's patrolling and sit back and watch/dance ;)

The elite should be able to solo Kroshy for you.

Let it take him down to minimal health (5% or thereabouts), then it's very important that you release/dismiss him before he dies otherwise you cant loot his corpse for the quest drop.

Using this method when I released him, both he and the infernal he was fighting were down to 200-300 hp, easily dealt with.

PS. For this method I would recommend being at least 52 seen as at lower levels you're likely to not land the enslave for long enough or before he squishes you :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Unprepared - yes - that is the key.
When you turn in the quest there is a chance that the imp will summon a giant chicken you have to fight.
Doesn't matter - you already have the infernal summon so either way you are good.
But it is basically the ancona chicken on steroids. Same size as a VW, sounds like a freight train and tastes like.... well you get the point

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm lvl 52, and haven't gotten this quest. I got the quest that starts the series, that when completed, can give the Soul Harvester, and I am wondering if i have to do those quests first then talk to my trainer again for the Inferno quest. ((Also, when you summon an Inferno, or a Doomguard, and die, does the demon dissapear? Or does it stick around killing everything around?)) Ty all.

-Saiten; lvl. 52; ((Skullcrusher))

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killing this guy if you have Demonic Sacrifice is easy as hell. Get Fel Stamina up and begin the event. The first thing you should do is put curse of shadow on him and then fear. Throw up corruption, life tap, fear, drain life, fear, life tap, corruption... Don't life tap more than once and don't waste mana on %^&* like shadowbolts. Make it an endurance fight and you win.

The only thing I used was a healthstone to top my life off near the end. Never needed death coil or pots or band-aids. Demo spec's added utility ftw.

Kommentar von Thottbot

you could kill him easily,if you are Afflection specced,use Curse of Exaustion on him,start running,dump all your DoT on him,after 12 secs use CoE again,repeat teh process.

use your pet to hit him while you are running also DP when it is needed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy soloable as lvl 52, i didn't loose any hp at all!, an almost no mana!

The thing is, it's a warlock thing,
it's called; Enslave Demon!

enslave our dear Kroshius and get him to attack one of the normal flame things that wander around a little south of him, they're imune to fire, so he cant hurt them, (just a little),
when it says 1/100 hp on kroshius, dismiss him, and either 2-3 dots or dd spells should do the job.
If he gets to close, use deathcoil!
you may need to enslave him again when/if you loose him, (but i didn't need to)

And there you go, you get a lvl 52-54 mob to kill a lvl 55 elite for you:]

<3 warlocks <3

Kommentar von Thottbot

I`m full demon spec and just did him with a 63 hunter friend but he realy kicks hard but i didn`t know he was fearable so its easy to solo just fear the bastard and keep curses running fellguard gives some nasty punches too

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this as lvl 54. I had two pala friends with me just for the healing...and yes...there was a lot of healing to do!

First thing is to have plenty of shards with ya, your soulstone and your healthstone. Next: Summon your felhunter and be sure to have fel domination ready for later!
I had the palas to cast bleesing of kings + mana regen on me and blessing of kings + extra-health-while-healing-thingy on felhunter!
Be sure to have a mana potion rdy too btw!

So summon the bastard and start spamming paranoia while placing your dots on him. Cast a shadow bolt once and a while and use shadow burn too!
If u die...rez and cast banish. This grants you time enough to use your mana potion and summon a new felhunter with fel domination.
If Kroshius starts attacking the palas just start spamming shadow bolt (that's what I did).
When he's about to fall use your shadow burn + death coil and that should nail the bastard.

Btw the palas did no damage to Kroshius...they hust healed - I was not sure whatever Kroshius would drop ot not if I had the palas to help with the damage...so I solo damaged him.

and...now that I've tried summon an infernal I can tell u this - at lvl 54 this is a totally suicide spell...but wtf..I got it atleast!

By the way, I was well prepared, I knew what I was doing, my first time attempting it and I also knew I was going to succeed because I have soloed elite mobs 3 lvls higher than me in the past and was confident in the Warlock class in knowing that this mob would be 2 lvls higher and another mildly easy mob. I came fully 1hr buffed with fortitude, int and mark of the wild buffs. Only used 2 Heavy Runecloth Bandages. He actually knocks you back the first hit he gets off you for about 200-400 damage then the next few hits are pretty small damage so in those next few hits I feared him again. I feared him the whole time, you have a WIDE space to work with so no chance of attracting another mob. Used Immolate, no he isnt immune to immolate spell. Used Curse Agony and Corruption spells. Used like 2-3 shadowbolts not many. Used Life Sap on him as well. When he was dotted I would gain distance while he was feared to have enough time to fear him again from afar before he got a hit off of me. Used the Imp demon as a mana bot to sap mana out of it. Nobody was there to help as you can see on the pics no other classes debuffs are listed on the mob or are there extra group dots on radar. And by the way, I didn't enslave the other Inferno to fight against him, just had my Imp for extra mana and didnt let him attack so I did all the damage :) Alexandria on Bloodhoof if anybody has questions, take care

I did this solo at lvl 53. I don't know how, but I did it. I killed him on my second try. I was amazed when I did....

This is what I did, I summoned my FelGuard and had him tank for me while I lit
Kroshius up with dots: Curse of Agony, Corruption and Immolate and feared him. When I noticed my Felguard was almost dead, I feared Kroshius, click on Fel Domination to instant summon another Felguard and dotted him. Sent my Felguard after him again. By this time my mana was low so I used Life Tap. When Kroshius decided to come after me I RAN! You can outrun Kroshius, he is pretty slow! And while he was chasing me my Felguard was doing damge to him. When Kroshius focused his attention back to my Felguard, I dotted him and feared him. My felguard went down twice! At the end Kroshius was chasing me, I had only 2% health, had no dots on him. It was Felguard that saved me because while I was running from him with only 2% health left, my Felguard was hitting him!

I'm a !@#$ty warlock player. Haven't really mastered fear and dots! So if I can do it, anyone can lol!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just soloed Kroshius as a level 54 afflic lock. I sent my void in to aggro, cast UA, COA, cor, sap life, then i feared pulled back void to heal him, sent him back in, fear, then dot dot dot. Rinse repeat!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It took more time to get all the flawless essences than finishing this quest in Felwood. I am affliction specced and didn't have any problems defeating him. What worked best for me is send in VW, put on syphon life, curse of agony, corruption etc. (all the DoTs). As soon as he comes towards you fear him...redo DoTs if necessary, and fear again etc. Works like a charm. You even have enough time to heal yourself in case he hits you (watch for his knock-backs as they are pretty annoying). His damage is I believe 700HP on a hit.

The infernal is a cool one to have...looks impressive as it is a huge dude...and can tank nicely as well...too bad about the enslaving :-)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

SL+shadow spec..

first tried with voidy, got pummeled in a minute.

Then with imp, kept him chain feared and put Curse of Elements on him. let the imp nuke away, and soul fired twice, searing pain, etc.

keeping him feared is key, if he gets on you he will interrupt, i think he has a fire aura.

if he gets too close because you screwed up a fear, Death coil and fear on top of that.

good luck, fun fight. thank god, no adds.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just did this at level 57, i enslaved a level 53 infernal, made him beat Kroshius down to about 3% HP and finished him with a Death Coil. Got lucky on the enslave i guess.

Edited, Dec 15th 2006 10:23pm by Tharkie

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried this at 56, after reading the advice here, and I got worked.

1) I tried enslaving a 52 elite, sent it in to fight and it broke enslavement on me.
2) I tried enslaving a 53 elite ... same thing (didn't even look like either of them were getting hurt by each other) ... they came back on me.
3) I tried it with my succy (figured the imp's firebolts would just be resisted by him since it was fire) ... she dropped in about two hits and I started the fear, dots, deathcoil, banish, bandage, healthstone, etc ... got him to about half health before I ran out of options ... he resisted a fear, then he knocked me back before I could get off the next, then he killed me).
4) I tried enslaving again ... same deal ... broke really early.

I gave up after my pride couldn't take it anymore ... I guess I just suck or I'm not a very good demon enslaver :(

EDIT: OK, I did it this time ... and here is how it worked for me:
1) I used my VW purely for when I needed to get the shield.
2) I did the fear/dot method as explained (only this time it didn't resist me -- so luck helped out).
3) I ran out of mana and I did use my VW shield to buy some time for life-taps and bandaging.

It was still a long, close fight.

Oh yeah, I was all ready for the Giant Chicken fight and it never materialized. He talked about it like it was there, but it never showed up :(

Did it solo at lvl 56.
Wasn't easy, but not really hard either.
SL - CoA - Corruption - Soulfire - fear.

While it's feared, keep sending SL, CoA and Corruption towards him.
The nice thing is that he doesn't resist fear too much or breaks free from it.
No other mobs around in the area, so he won't get help.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd at 53

corruption, CoA, fear, rinse, repeat. used two pots, my healthstone, and three bandages. i had my VW out for the shield sac just in case i needed an emergency fear...never used it.

i tried to use one of the 53 elites that wanders around near there, but it broke the enslave really early in my first try and they both came after me. after that i decided to just use my own pets...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just solo'd Kroshius as a 54 affliction specced lock. I tried three or four times to enslave an infernal sentry but died each time. They would break enslavement during the fight. I would then have a 52 elite and 55 elite both pounding me. Next I tried using the VW and managed to drop Kroshius. I sent the VW in, dropped all DoT's (corruption, immolate, siphon life, and Curse of Agony with first being amped), and spammed fear on him. Only issue I had was in running low on mana. Forunately I was able to life tap enough mana to keep him feared. The good thing (maybe lucky?) was that Kroshius always ran up the hill away from the other mobs. He never ran down the hill where mobs were respawning.

Warning, if he gets close Kroshius hits hard. He easily hits for 650+. Keep him as far from you as possible and you'll be okay.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried to duo this at lvl 51 with a lvl 53 Shaman. Kroshius hits in the 1k-2k range against us cloth classes. After burning thru the shaman, I was only a few hits away from a dirt nap. Was getting ALOT of resists as well.

So ... might want to bring some friends with a real tank and healer-type or wait a few levels.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where do I find the remains? I keep searching and come up with nothing!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Myself (lvl 50 afflic lock), a lvl 50 hunter, and a lvl 55 druid. We basically did what one of the previous posts said...entangle root + dot + nuke. The best part is that is worked extremely well so we didn't wipe once!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed at 54. Was fun. The usual fear-kiting works well. Just be sure to start casting the next fear well before we gets un-feared. Otherwise, he'll knock you back and interrupt your spellcast. You shouldn't let that happen, 'cause he hits real hard.

I didn't try to fight him straight up. I prolly wouldn't have beat him that way, since he could 3-shot me, and I have almost 4k hp with Blood Pact.

Fire Protection pots prolly help.

Better yet just enslave Immolatus and let him beat him to death :)But I guess that would be if your up high enough to do it I forget when you get that Im lazy and didnt do it till 60 I suppose.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's very easy, just fear and dot him, when he gets out of fear banish him to get your mana back, did it as a 53 lock.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

you can get him again, just abadon the quest, and pick it up again at the imp. He'll give you another felfire too.
I cant really solo it at lvl 58. After i enslave him, and order him to attack the elites there, at about half of his life, the enslave wears off and both ot them attacks and kills me... :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If it matters I am full Destruction Lock 7/4/32.

Before starting the fight, make sure you have a healthstone, Major healing potions, some mana potions, and runecloth bandages. You don't need all of these but have them handy just incase your fear is resisted several times in a row.

I did not need to enslave one of those sentrys. I simply had my imp out. I started the fight with a fear and then cast all my DOTS and a shadowbolt. Allow the imp to let loose as well.

Just continue to cast fear and DOTs on him. I used my conflagrate and then recast Immolate. Keep an eye on your health and mana because he can hit for over 600 each time. He will knock you back and interupt your spell casting.

My fear was resisted a lot so be prepared to have to cast it again. I even used my Death Coil for a boost in health and a nice instant fear to give me enough time to cast off a regular fear.

Whenever my health and imp's health got low, I banished him and bandaged/life tapped my mana back. Just be ready to fear as soon as he comes out of banish.

I died 1 time trying to get my strategy and timing right, but got him on my second attempt.

Also, you no longer have to abandon the quest to get another Fel Fire. Whenever I died I came back to see him still animated for me to attempt again.

Hope this helps everyone. It was a fun and very exciting fight.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried this and had a wipe, when i got agroup together to kill him he was dead and I don't have fire to bring him back. what to do?

Tough fight for me solo at 54 demo spec. I died the first time because I didnt fear enough. He hits HARD but you can keep him feared the whole fight. It would have been easier if I had potions, I just used a healthstone and heavy rune bandage. Eventually he killed my felguard and I had no mana to summon him again, and not much health. VERY close fight the second time, I was 200hp from dying with no mana.

just soloed it at 55..
just keep using fear
don't forget bandages.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this with the help of my guild m8s, 3 level 60s (2 warriors,1 pala) me and a level 50 warlock. The fight didnt last long:)

A quest where being in a guild is important.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I guess the quick summary of all these threads is Fear and DoT.
Don't wait for Kroshius to charge you before casting Fear though or his knockbacks will hit you for big damage. He covers a lot of ground in the time it takes to cvast Fear so be ready to cast it before the existing Fear expires.

First, I cleared out the mobs from the foot of the hill as a precaution.

As for pets I tried with my VW but died twice. So I sacrificed my VW, got the shield, enslaved Immmolatus (56 rare demon who wanders around here), and sent him against Kroshius.

Immolatus' hitting power enabled me to have an easier time. He still couldn't hold aggro but it was really the extra DPS I wanted. Bandaged once, healthstoned once but no potions. Just kept an eye on my mana and the duration on the last Fear I'd cast :) In between it was UA, Corruption, CoA and Siphon Life, with two Life Taps in between. I switched to Drain Life when he finally went below 1000.

If you have Death Coil keep it as a backup if Fear is resisted and Kroshius is in your face. The damage and healing is a bonus.

When it was over I sent Immolatus to fight one of the Infernal Bodyguards that wanders around the area and I ran off. I hope he doesn't remember me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this quest solo. I'm an affliction warlock (level 51), so I basically spam fear and kept the dots up. I did this with my imp and not a Voidwalker.

Pretty easy quest.

You can find the remains at location 45,35.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

umm im a noob at lvl 53 lock but your a #$%^ing lock you dumbasses you dont need to fear him like a noob #$%^ing caste curse of agony curruption and immulation and at the very ^&*!ing least have a voidwalker tank and cast *!@#ing shadowbolt like a mother *!@#er dont be a lvl 52-53 fearing him you noobs

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He is how I soloed Kroshi.

Curse of Shadow + Enslave Demon on him.
Then send him to kill some 53 elite there.
The 53 elite will win.
So just before Kroshi dies, banish the 53 elite.
Then flee with Kroshi on your side to some Area,
where you dont get attacked.
Enslave Demon will break.
Fear Kroshi, nuke him with Shadow Bolts.
Fear him again, nuke him dead.
It was really easy like this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

hey i heard Niby summons a chicken after you turn in the quest. does anyone know the name of it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

no pet, lvl 53 affliction/demon build just chain fear, syphon life, corruption and curse of agony (amplified when available)and just life tapped to keep my mana up, and used a potion i found and a healthstone. got hit once when fear was resisted, just hit death coil for the health boost and the space to cast another fear. very easy :)

got 2000 exp (rested) for killing him snd totally owned his chicken

Kommentar von Allakhazam

its so simple its scary

1 wakes im up, other inslaves
puts him on passave

then u dule but only fight the infernal on passave.
when he is dead loot and leave. easy yea!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just to clear something up, The mob is a DEMON and wasnt immune to anything I put on him ;) I just did this solo as lock52 first try, wasnt easy but not hard at the same time ^^

Without a doubt, fear and dot works a treat. Fight lasted about 4 mins. Healthstone, health pot (only superior >< how cheap am I?) and 2 normal runecloth bandages used. He resisted fear twice, both times getting me to under 100hp! lol, but i did it ;) As for your pet, VW for shield or if ur dark pact build anything with mana is fine ;p dont even bother setting ur pet on it, DoT and Fear ftw =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where do you get this quest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not that hard for level 51, just died once :/
Grabbed a 53 elite infernal just to be safe about the partial enslave resisting. First time I died because my pet can't hold aggro at all, any little thing you do seems to pull him to you no matter how much damage your pet does. So second try I was able to send the infernal in after him first while staying out of agro range. The 53 elite can kill kroshius alone, but I tried to help out since I didn't want the enslave wearing off. The second I threw out CoA, before it even did damage, kroshius ran after me. Just had to run while applying instant DoTs, then fear and run off the screen. Since my infernal is enslaved and not summoned, I can leave the screen without losing it, and kroshius goes back to fighting it.

Easiness.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well, I was anticipating the worst, but I got lucky! For the quest leading up to this one, I got the Fel Essence drop from Blasted Lands from the first mob (other posters had to kill 6 or more), then I killed Kroshi by myself on the first try.

Per these posts, I prepared myself with bandages, potions, and healthstone, and I used chain fears and DOTs to take him down. I did not try enslaving another mob because my initial attempt in Blasted Lands didn't work, and I decided to stick with tactics I was more comfortable with. I used my Voidwalker because the suggestion to use it as a shield sounded like a good idea to me. Besides, I almost always use a VW when I'm solo.

I don't know how long the fight took, but it seemed to last forever! I used fear, corruption, amplify curse, curse of agony, siphon life, shadow bolt, drain life, life tap... I kinda cast willy-nilly. Meanwhile, Kroshius randomly flailed around, and I couldn't really tell what was going on. The best I could do was keep myself pointed towards him, watch the countdowns, and cast-cast-cast.

In the end, I using only one mana pot. I had intended to use a healthstone as well because my health had dropped to about half, but I fumbled, then Kroshius died. Manawise I ran on fumes for the end of the fight (thank god for life tap!). I probably should've splurged on a major mana pot instead of the cheezy superior one. Oh well.

My suggestion would be to keep a very close eye on your fear countdown -- when it gets to about :05, fear again. Don't wait too much longer or you won't have time to cast. If your fears aren't resisted, you should be fine. The DOTs are slow, but they do work. Not that I was confident of that fact going into the fight, but hey, it worked for me!

Hope this information is useful. Good luck to other questers.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed this at lvl 50. I had 5 points in supression, +175 to shadow damage, crit soulfired him for 1388, then feared and dotted him until he died. Took about two minutes to finally down him. He got in one hit for 638, and the time when he fell was my third attempt. He is really hard for lvl 50, but I agree with the earlier post

Honestly I thought the felguards around the dark portal for the pre-Q were harder.

All in all, not an easy battle, but I almost died laughing when the chicken got summoned and Impsy called Nilby stupid!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i had a help of 60hunter and tried killing him, but wiped 4 times in a row, and eventually he despawned, does this mean i can't get him again?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After having gathered all the Fel Essences I was level 53. When I was looking for the remains I met another level 52 warlock, and we tried to beat him togehter.

The first 3 attempts failed miserably - we did not even get him to 50% health. Then we found a succesful strategy.

We moved a bit away from each other. Cast all our DoTs and took turns casting fear on him. He was running in fear through most of the fight. Whenever he was at safe distance we used shadowballs. When the DoTs wore off we recast them.

I needed a healing potion and also used runecloth bandages during the fight, but we both made it - and both got the drop (luckily we did not have to kill him twice :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Nasty bugger... tried the first time as lvl 52 and then as lvl 53, died about 6 times. till i got some help from a lvl 60 ice mage...

So our main weapon was keeping him feared and out of our hair, and cold cos man he hits hard...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I ran this solo having just hit 55. I did not enclave anything since I figured it would be too easy to break. Used the voidwalker in case I needed to sacrifice (which I didn't).

Basically I kept fear on him while hitting amp curse, CoA, corruption and Siphon Life. Rinse and repeat. He never got close enough to hit me, and as my VW was on passive fear never got broken. I didn't try shadow bolt or soulfire for much the same reason. It took a while, I had to tap and bandage once to get some mana back. Finished him off with a death coil just for laughs.

Overall this was significantly easier than I thought it would be. The trick was mostly just keeping the fear on, watching the timers on that and my DoTs and letting him wither away.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed on lvl 53, fear and dot like said before

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well I finally dropped him after several failed attempts. I am a 53 Lock fully Demon specced. I tried the various methods listed here, 1. enslaving the Immolatus (it broke early), 2. enslaving Kroshius (it broke early), and a couple attempts of fear kiting. I was unlucky my first attempt at fear kiting as he resisted my Death Coil and then resisted my Banish after which he hit my for 600+ twice and one hit for 1000. My second attempt of fear kiting with my Felguard worked although when it was all done the Felguard had less than 200 hp and I had less that 500 hp. I used Banish to bandage the pet and myself and a mana potion.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got him first time! Teamed up with another lock, both of us level 51. Fear is the key! Keep him feared with felguard choping away and throw on the dots. Giant chicken is fun too after you hand in the quest. Honestly I thought the felguards around the dark portal for the pre-Q were harder.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Okay at lvl 53 i just dot/fear, he didnt even get a single hit on me. Easy quest if you know your lock.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When I did the quest ages past, I don't ever recall being able to fear him. In fact I'm pretty sure he was immune at the time... Oh well. One more way to make locks require no skill. I miss those days...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

soloed at lvl54. the posts about needing help are cowards. if you are 54+, you can easily solo him. just grab elite inferno like other post says. i did it, and he was a joke. after you have your elite inferno, go to remains and revive him. send inferno in so you arent one being hit, then curse of shadow+fear. dot him up and fear kite him to death. if you are lucky, you won't even get scratched. leave inferno on stay and run back for turn in after.(the %^&* blue item on turn in sells for 4g too, so 4g+pet, real pay off)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I (lvl 54) had a lvl 60 Rogue with me while I was running around Felwood and decided to do this quest. It was spur of the moment so nether of us was especially prepared to do Elite combat. We got Kroshius on the first try. Neither of us wiped. The rogue was up front with my VW and I was standing back dotting and shadowbolting Kroshius. I didn't use Fear or Banish. We just wacked at him until he died.

I didn't lose any HP at all, but there was a tense moment for the rogue near the end of the fight. He used the Healthstone I gave him and Kroshius died before he got in trouble again. The fight wasn't pretty, and if I had to do it again, I'd be a little more strategic about spells and be overall less complacent going into it. (It's so easy to get complacent when traveling with a lvl 60 rogue.)

And yes, we had to fight the giant chicken when I turned in the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Boy this is a pain. Very tempted to just tough it out with VW or somethin, but it is fun. Nearly had Kroshius down to the last breath of life and I got ganked. Boy - was that dude surprised when I set Kroschius on him. Killed the ally (55 HK Seargeant or something I think) in a heartbeat. Doh't think he knew what hit him. Then Kroshius died - and I died when the other elite came for me. One thing I thought was useful was just clearing all the Lvl 50/51 elementals out of the way. When you're trying to have Kroshius hit on one the elites, there's nothing more annoying than having one of those pesky elementals buggin ya. Only takes a couple of minutes to clear the field for the final showdown. Anyway - back to it. Hopefully next time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest yesterday and I had a lvl 60 rogue with meand we got wiped on the first try. The second time though i gave the rogue a healthstone and made on myself then i just started wailing onthe guy with shadow bolts he died after he got to me and hit me once or twice but that was about it. Tried to use the immolate spell on him but he is immune to them since he is a fire elemental.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

MAYBE that crap about enslaving Kroshius worked along time ago, but it doesn't anymore. You can kill him that way but he you don't get a drop or any xp. I think Blizzard must have changed something in one of the recent patches. You CAN enlave a 53 or 54 elite to help you but you will still need some friends to help as any dmg you do to Kroshius will most likely draw the agro away from your enslaved infernal just bring a couple peeps with you and it's pretty easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Done at 52lev. What's strange? I'm an undead Warlock and it's a PVP Server, we spoke through emotes with a 57 mage alliance on Darsorrow that decided to help me. ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This one is a piece of cake (or pie?) for a 53 dark pact lock :D

I used imp on passive for the healthboost,while also being well fed (4000 hp total)
Then it was just fear-dot fear-dot,with the occasional dark pact for mana,avoiding life tap alltogether :D

I could even take a couple of hits from him with no fear of dying,so all in all a perfect quest for me :D

El Pollo Grande kinda scared me though...laughed so hard i forgot to fight :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

enslave demon works great
your a genius!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was able to enslave Kroshius without a problem. What a hoot - a gnome with this giant minion! I took him out to do battle with other creature until his health was just a sliver. I dismissed him... and he and the creatures he was fighting all came after me. They took me out before I could kill Kroshius - just a sliver is still a lot of health. I think this is possible but it will be tricky.

Another thing I tried was to enslave one of the elite 53 infernal bodyguards wandering around. I find it strange that Kroshius remained my minion for several minutes. I never got one of those bodyguards to remain under my control for a full minute. What's the deal? Elite 53 more difficult to enslave and keep dominated than an elite 55? Oh well... Going back for more today.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i just killed him the way psychozapp sayd but wasn`t able to loote him
anyone else having problems with him?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried the solo method of psychozapp, managed to kill the boss but didn't get the core so I had to redo the final quest. I called in a few guildmates and between the 3 of us (55 warlock, 60 hunter, 60 mage) we quickly killed him, but he did do a lot of damage to all of us before he died. So it doesn't matter at all who is damaging him.
BTW it is SOOOOOO worth it. The mage in our group decided to duel me after I summoned the inferno. The level 60 mage sheeped me and the inferno crushed him, it was basically immune to all his fire spells.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed at 56. CoS + Enslave Demon on a random 53 infernal, then sent it in, DoTed, and Feared when I got aggro (which was a lot). The infernal took the knockback most of the time because I was too far away, and I managed to avoid getting any critical hits. Luck had too much to do with it for my tastes, though; it would've been nasty if the fight had lasted longer than five minutes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For reference, I am Dark Pact specced with a little destruction, if that matters. First I made sure to have my SS and healthstone ready. I had my VW out, sacced him for the shield, and then CoS/Enslave on a level 54 elite infernal. Reanimated Kroshius and let the infernal take him on. Dotted Kroshius with an amplified CoA, Corruption, and Siphon Life. RAN LIKE HELL while the infernal took him on. When he got close, I feared. Shadowbolted from maximum range. Death Coiled from maximum range as well. I cast fear three times, and also replaced all my dots on Kroshius three times as well. Luckily I had no resists on any of my spells. Also, I got hit by the knockback twice, doing about 600-700 damage, but I didn't have to pop the healthstone or bandage. Once dead, I looted his body very quickly, put the infernal on stay, and bolted the hell out of there. When I went back to Niby to turn in the quest he didn't summon the chicken though. :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Chickens name is El Pollo Grande

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just soloed as a 53 with a destro build. Basically, sent in voidwalker to deal some damage. Threw all the usual dots (CoA, corruption, immolate...yes he isn't immune to fire dmg). Afterwards, just threw shadowbolts at him. When he got close, I feared and continued with the bolts. Conflag-ed, threw the DoTs again and repeated the process. Fortunately, I was able to Fear him 3 times during the battle.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Maybe even lower depending on your skill-set. Currently 56 with about 4k hps, I solo'd this guy. Sure he hit me for 500+ but I survived. Here's how...

Find Kroshius first. Like it says above, he's north of all the craters to the east a bit. Now sit at the bottom of the hill and wait for an Infernal Sentry to walk by. Let him get max range on ya and cast Curse of Shadows on him, then immediately Enslave the infernal. Now run up the hill to Kroshius, wake him with the Fel Fire, run back a bit and send pet in quickly. Now FEAR Kroshius then dot him up; Agony,Immolate,Corruption and Siphon Life. Watch closely, when Fear breaks, re-Fear. Heavy Rune Bandage yourself if need-be, then re-dot. Rinse and repeat until Kroshius dies. Loot him quickly. PET STAY the infernal, jump on horse and ride back to Niby. That punk will summon a giant chicken on you so make sure you have enough resources to take him out, easy... Kiss arse Warlocks!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just tried to do this quest with my 53 Warlock and a buddy with a 54 Shaman. We tried enslaving another infernal to help and that made things worse, we got owned every way we tried. Enslaving something even the same level as yourself won't hold long enough to kill this guy. Finally asked for help, got a 60 priest, 51 warrior and 50ish mage. Quest was total cake after that, didnt even take a minute to kill.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

Keep it feared and just widdling it down with DoTs works perfectly fine no matter your spec. His body is up at roughly 45, 35.

Kommentar von Vahdis

Easy soloed at level 52, just feared and dotted. Don't chase him, let him run back then fear again and refresh dots.

He will sometimes knock you up in the air doing a decent amount of damage then start attacking your pet, just fear him again and heal up if you need while he runs off.

Slow and steady, just let mana regen and dots do their thing.

Kommentar von Hopelesshobo

Found his remains at 45 35.

He has about 15,000 HP and even at level 60 he will smack you and your VW down before you can kill it unless you use CC. I went the route of casting Doom on him, followed by a Rank 2 then Rank 1 Banish followed up by a fear for the tick, then rinse and repeat. Spam fearing also works, I just didn't want to deal with him running around constantly.

Kommentar von mug59

I died and he despawned. The fel fire is now not in my bags. What do I do? Can I get the fel fire again or do I have to abandon and redo the last quest to get the fel fire all over again?

Kommentar von Acann

All you need to do is just fear him with DoTs, reapply when necessary.

Kommentar von jennybrett39

Are we not going to talk about The Chicken?

Kommentar von Etreum

Fairly easy at 56. Voidwalker - When almost dead at the beginning, sacrifice/fear/summon. Greater Healthstone/Major Healing Potion (For mana). Fear/Curse of Agony/Corruption/Shadow Bolt. Rinse and repeat.

Kommentar von Llucheden

He's no longer elite. He was a lvl 55 normal demon with 3268 HP. As a 54 lock, I put my VW on him, dotted him all up, feared once, and he was dead.

Careful, when you're dead, you'll be attacked by... you'll see.
