Ok, it took me some time to figure this one out as I could not find any comments about this item myself :p

Let me explain the total chain.
- You become honored with Ogri'la
- You accept the quest Banish the Demons https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=11026
- You turn in the Darkrune for a Crystalforged Darkrune
- Go to the warpgate. I went to the warpgate just south of Forge Camp: Wrath and activate the Crystalforged Darkrune

Then the fun starts :)

Phase 1
You get to control a felguard. It has a few abilities. The most important one is some kind of hammer you can throw at the shield of the warpgate. Each hammer takes about 15-20% off the shield and the hammer has a 25 seconds cooldown. While you demolish the shield, mobs will spawn that will try to stop you. You need to stay alive and you have a few abilities for that:
-Whirlwind: a 3 second whirlwind dealing huge damage to all mobs around you. Use this when you got 4+ mobs on you. About 10 seconds cooldown
- Mortal strike. Singletarget dps obviously, use it to kill mobs fast. About 3 seconds cooldown
- Charge: very nice charge with an aoe effect afterwards. Theres imps spawning that will be sending fireballs your way. I found out that if you have a group of mobs on you, charge to an imp and the aoe effect will kill most mobs immediately. Nice if your whirlwind is on CD. Charge has about 15 seconds cooldown
- Fear. If you have too many mobs on you, use fear to gain some extra time. About 15 seconds cooldown as well

Once the shield is destroyed, the demon that was inside it will be freed and will start to attack you. At this point no more other adds will spawn. I was at 30% hp with my demon when the shield was down and I took him down no problem. A nice tactic to use on him is to fear him and when he is far enough, charge into him. Mortal strike is also nice ofcourse.

Once this demon is at about 10% hp, it will drain the life of the demon you controlled. Dont worry! As soon as your demon is dead, you will automaticly take control of this newly spawned demon.

Phase 2
I didn't have a clue what to do now to be honest. The new demon you control has very different abilities. Im not 100% sure on these, you will have to try it out.
- Superjump: jump up in the air and land, causing damage and stunning mobs. This has a minimum range
- Consume essence: consume the health of mobs, adding it to your own. USE IT, very important to stay alive. Important to know is that this also has a minimum range. Use it when the mobs summon a cannon as that is the only time they will go outside melee range.
- Frontal fire cone: seemed to have a minimum range as well, doesnt do tons of damage, but this demon simply doesnt. Use it to damage several mobs at once
- melee damage: dont know the name, its an instant attack of some kind.
- the final ability is a shard-consuming ability that will make you fly up in the sky and bomb mobs. It has a pretty long cooldown i found out... I pressed it at the start when there werent any mobs yet :( The cooldown wasnt ready before i failed. Yes, will get to that later

So these mobs start spawning and a new demon will start coming through the portal. I can only assume you need to fight off the small mobs and kill the demon"boss" coming through the portal. I also assume you will take control of that new demon before its completely killed, but maybe you need to complete it with the demon you control. I had the 2nd demon spawn and noticed a third demon being summoned from the portal. Unfortunately, my demon died and I failed the quest for today.

Its a daily quest you can get after killing 15 demons and sending them back into the void through that portal you can summon. You get a darkrune, turn the darkrune in to get Crystalforged Darkrune. I dont know what the rewards will be, maybe someone else can post. I will post again if I get any further.

Please note: when you first get to this quest, you can do it twice just like all other dailys. Make

Please note that you might NOT receive a dark rune! I got a dark rune for free the very first time i did this quest, but at the second one (the first time i did Banish More Demons quest) i only got 10 crystals and NO dark rune!

Today i did get a Darkrune and i got around the same spot Bytes got. Do remember stock up on Charged Crystal Focus items, you will need them!

Commento di zeyue

for phase two you also have an axe throwing move that stuns the target, it has a minimum range also, at the end of this phase 2 of the small guys and one of those giant female mobs with the 4 (is it 6?) swords comes out, i got this far but got destroyed do to a range bug, in this section just stunlock her she will be doing massive damage so use your instant melee attack (dont remember the name atm) as it reduces her damage by 50%, also i made the mistake of killing the small guys, DONT, let them live and kill their fel cannons when they spawn, you will need them to consume. sorry for the wall of text

Commento di 25805

Actually, the quest text mentions that sometimes you'll get a darkrune, sometimes you won't, so it appears to be random whether you get one or not.

Commento di holydevil

Make sure you bring your charged crystal focus when you do this (i didn't sadly =[ ) you can use the phase1 demon's abil to heal him with it(crystals), not sure how much it heals, but they finally are useful!

Commento di 56528

You've all helped me quite a bit with your comments so i might aswell say, the phase one is preety easy, you allways have cooldowns to do stuff, charge imps, spam MS, ww now and then, fear then charge, etc, preety easy once you know what to expect, when the boss comes hes a gimp and dies fast, i didn't need to use the special even, like my first time. Good to know that the phase1 special (last magic in your pet bar) drains life from all nearby enemies, so you drain em when there are a lot arround you obviously, and it uses a Charged Crystal Focus.

Phase two, when you get the 2nd demon, starts preety easy, you spam the fire breath when they gather, you spam the first meele thing to lower their dmg, and when one small one breaks away to do the cannon, you do the stun jump which owns them all up, add a couple of axe stuns and they all die preety easy, the IMPORTANT thing is, phase 2 drain life ability DOES NOT need a Charged Crystal Focus, only the Bombing thing (last ablity in pet bar) uses a focus, and its a shitload of damage so i suggest saving it for the Assasin mob, which pwned me on 2% left or so.

The tricky part is that the drain in p2 has a MINIMUM range, aka can't be used on 1 on 1, yet you use it when you stun someone, or somehow break away by jump etc, keep yourself topped with it, and it should be np when the last boss comes.

I only wish my next rune doesn't take 4 days to get like this one :(

Edit: people reading this please reply with the ending of the fight and possible rewards :p

Commento di Senka

I don't know if people just aren't reading the skill descs or what, but the instant melee attack does TRIPLE damage on a stunned target. So on the mo'arg it's a good idea to use Throw Axe or Super Jump to stun and then close in and use the instant melee attack.

It's also a good idea to use Super Jump and then turn around, hit the mo'arg with the instant melee attack, and then use Fel Flames on the group. The mo'arg is what I perceive to be a bigger threat than all the little guys. Also, do note that Consume Essence will NOT work on the mo'arg, only gan'args.

Finally, at the deathwhisperer, she's more or less a spellcaster. Therefore, make sure you CONSTANTLY use your stuns to interrupt her. The minimum range on your stuns is only 5 yards, so you should have more than enough time to get in range and interrupt her. Also, she likes to periodically Ice Block every 20-30 seconds after a while. So watch out for that so you don't waste a stun cooldown.

And lastly, make sure you keep at least a couple gan'args alive so that you can use Consume Essence on them. Between the Ice Blocks and my low health at the time, I just wasn't able to keep going. :( I had already used my bombardment ability earlier, and it seems to have a 3 mins cooldown or longer. Next time, I'm going to try saving it for that boss.

Commento di Acku

To addon to what Bytes has already posted, for Stage 1 you DO NOT need to use a Charged Crystal Focus to defeat this stage.

The strategy for stage 2 requires a shard, i have tried multiple times to complete this stage without one and it proves impossible.

First, you simply just whack away the little dudes one by one as they spawn. Then when the first big guy spawns you stop attacking the little ones that spawn new, because you will need them to regain health.

Draining the full HP bar of one of the little mobs heals for about 35000 which is a good chunk of life. The best way to accomplish this is when a new mob spawns further away Super Jump to him, quickly turn and life drain a full HP mob that you just stunned, since you can't use the ability in melee range.

At this point what you want to do is run at the biggest guy and throw your axe, which will do dmg and stun him. Then you use your Double Swing since it does 3x normal dmg to stunned mobs.

Then while you have all the little guys around you just use your breath and kill them all off, since the Super Jumps took them down enough already.

Make sure to keep life draining the little guys that are full HP and when you start getting 2-3 big guys spawning at a time you use your Charged Crystal Focus, take in mind you need 50% HP to defeat this upcoming boss, and it will kill all mobs spawned already, reflect any attacks attempted on you and kill the next wave or two that will spawn leaving you when you land with the boss.

I have yet to reach Stage 3 but will update as i get more information on. I would recommend trying to stock up a cache of these charged crystal focus, as i'm sure you will need at least 3 to do this quest.

Good quest, but very hard.

STAGE 1-

You take control of a Fel Guard looking mob and he has some abilitys.

*Mortal Strike
*Whirlwind
*Fear
*Charge
*Hammer Throw
*Life tap that takes a Crystal

Strat:

As soon as you get control use the hammer throw, because that is whats needed to beat the event. Then just MS every mob that comes your way in the begining, if you get over whelmed you have 3 options with this guy. Either run close enough to an imp to charge it, so that you deal massive AoE dmg with the charge killing every thing arround you. A whirlwind which kills everything around you, or a fear which fears every thing around you :D

I usually just mortal strike everything i can till charge is up then charge an imp and kill everything. Make sure you use your hammer every time it is up.

BOSS1- Simple strat for him, just fear, then mortal strike, whirl wind, then charge, mortal strike, run arround till fear is up again, and repat that process till you kill him
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STAGE2-

You take control of the Boss you just killed and he has some abilitys too!

*Sword attack (forget name)
*Flame breath (AoE attack)
*Axe throw *Note must be at ranged to use
*Super Jump
*Essance steal (life drain pretty much) *Note- Must be at range to use
*Ultimate attack (takes 1 Charged focus crystal AND I STONGLY RECOMEND HAVING ONE FOR THIS STAGE)

Strat- Pretty much your goal is to kill 3 vial spitter guys (the big guy that spawns). They are fairly simple, just run arround, Flame breath the little guys if you want, use your melee attack, fight them off as best you can, once a big guy spawns use your super jump on him, then your melee attack, and run away and hit him with your thowing axe. After that i usually use essance steal on one of the little mobs to gain some life, then super jump again when its up, and repeat that for 3 of the spawns, i finished all 3 with 80% life so its not that hard if you keep the little guys under controll, the big guys stunned/kited and use the steal essence when up/needed.

BOSS2- This guy deals MASSIVE damage, but in order to deal that massive damage he must cast. So use your axe throws, and super jumps wisly, use your essence steal ability on the remaining little guys as needed, keep the debuff you get through your melee attack on him at all times, and if worst comes to worse use your ultimate, which reflects his spells and deals massive damage to him. (This also kills all the little guys so use it wisly cause once you use it, you have no heals.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commento di 57276

STAGE3-

Stage 3 is like the other ones, you take control of the boss you just killed and he has new abilitys!

FIRE FORM-
*Fire bolt
*Flame Buffet
*Skill that takes fire debuff off you

Shadow Form-
*Shadow bolt thing (USE THIS AS YOUR MAIN HEAL!)
*Siphon Life (Heals you for 2100 every few seconds) (DoT spell)
*Shadow nova (Heals you for some damage) (Instant)

Ice Form-
*Frost bolt
*Frost Nova
*Ice Block (Reflects Damage!)

*Ultimate (usuable in any form) I forget what all it does, but it does diffrent things for each form your in, and costs 2 Charged crystal focuses

Strat-
*NOTE-I only got to the 2second guy in stage3 and wiped, but im pretty sure i know how to kill the second one now, so ill give out the strat.*

BOSS1
Basicly a one eyed monster will spawn and this guy is insanly easy if you know how to do it. He puts disruptor webs down on the ground which stun you, so avoid those. He deals these small damage attacks which if you have siphon life up should heal you through them, or close to. Then he has one MASSIVE damage attack called death gaze. When he is casting death gaze (which is a 5sec cast i believe) switch over to ice form, and cast iceblock when there is about 1-2 seconds left in the cast. This will reflect the spell onto the one eyed monster for like 50,000 damage or so. So just kite him arround reflecting those spells using siphon life and shadow nova to heal up, and if you ever get to low use your main shadow attack with siphon life up and you can get a big heal :D.

BOSS2- This is a dog that only deals melee damage, so the choice should be quite simple, kite. Just use frost nova when its up, keep siphon life up, frost bolt when you have the chance, and just keep kiting the dog arround using nova when needed. If he catches up to you (which he probally will) just ice block, and nova when you come out :D

*Thats as far as i have got so far, hope it helps you guys out*

Commento di 31780

Ultimate is a super strike.

If you have flame buffet on target this skill deals more damage.

If your target is frozen, this skill deals 3x damage.

I forget the shadow aspect of it, but you would want to go flame aspect, flame buffet, go ice aspect and do ice leap, then use it. Costs two charged crystal focuses.

My strategy for Phase 1 is to Mortal Strike mobs till the sheild is near 50%, then they spawn alot faster, start using charge at minimum range near imps, this will kill dogs too, use AoE fear and whirlwind when they return to get more, keep hammering sheild. When boss comes keep mortal striking and fear when he uses fel flames, then charge and keep mortal striking.

Phase 2 is a little trickier, you want to use super jump a lot, I would strafe and super jump consistently to deal with smaller mobs, using drain life at 75% and that will bring you back to full. When the bigger demons come use super jump, double strike (more damage against stunned) if that crits it will knock off half his health, then strafe and axe throw, go back in and use double strike, strafe away and super jump. Rinse and repeat till the assasin comes out. When the assasin first spawns I suggest using the ult which consumes a charged crystal focus, she can be a hard boss if you can't stun good and this gets rid of the adds. Use a stun-lock/doublestrike strategy as she will quickly hurt your health while healing herself.

Phase 3 is very difficult, I got the eye to 40% by using siphon life, shadow nova, and death coil (doubly named due to its double effect of damage and healing). When he emotes he's charging his power, switch to ice aspect and iceblock as sojourn says, If you have more than one charged crystal focus on you, save it for the last boss, who is insanely hard and needs lots of damage. I got the eye to 40% using just one crystal focus.

Also it is worth noting that getting to phase 2 awards 20 apexis shards, and getting to phase 3 awards 40. Defeating the boss may reward more, and supposedly an epic item.

Commento di Kresnik

Just finished the demon-controlling thing. Here are my insights.

The stuff posted above is great, read it and use it, it makes the fights easier.

On the big eye thing the most important thing to remember is use ice block. when he starts to focus intently, switch to ice form and use ice block to reflect it.

On the dog that spawns after him, occasionally switch to shadow form to put up a siphon life, but in general do the whole fight in fire form. Not ice, but fire. The reason being that fire form has a 30% speed boost to stay away from him and most importantly that you can cleanse the debuff he puts on you in fire form. The debuff slows your run speed and deals a large amount of damage to you every 3 seconds, so as soon as you get it, dispell it. Other then that, just keep hitting him with flame buffet and running around, pyroblast him when you get room, maybe go ice form after you purge the debuff to freeze him then frostbolt him, but that's risky. I would personally advise bringing a fire mage along to help you, the debuff will make them all giddy AND they'll make the fight go alot faster. Basically you will net life from the siphon life on this fight, the dog should rarely hit you, other then with the debuff which will always hit you, no matter your distance from the dog.

After the dog is the big guy...hope you're good with switching forms by now.

His abilities are as follows:

Shadow bolt, deals ~3-4k dmg.

Shadow debuff: Increases the shadow dmg you take by 10000 (or so...was kinda busy with the fight...).

Immolate: Does ~3k dmg, ticks for ~3k dmg.

Incinerate: Does alot of dmg, I think it hit me once and I decided not to let it hit me again.

Magnetic pull: Pulls you to him.

Teleport: Teleports him to a random area in the arena.

Spawn eye stalk: Fills the arena with eye stalks that drain mana.

He spawns a bunch of eye stalks that will just kinda sit there unless they've been around for too long, at which point they start draining mana and hurting you, alot. Every time he spawns a group of them, go shadow and clear out an area to run around in with shadow nova (they die in one nova), if you can, catch him in the shadow nova since the debuff will give you life. Throw a siphon life on him then go fire form. Keep stacking the flame buffet debuff on him and pyroblasting when you can, cleanse the shadow debuff he puts on you and the immolate whenever they pop up and siphon life will keep you healed. You can go ice form and freeze + frostbolt him if you want, but you get alot of dmg out of 10xfire debuff and pyroblast. Keep going, it takes awhile.

When I did it by 25% into the last phase there was a small raid helping to kill him, I'm sure that made it easier, but it wasn't hard once I figured out how to deal with him.

Wanna know what he drops? Really? Ok then.... I got, drum roll please.....

23 silver!!!
4 Netherweave Cloth!!!
A depleted 2 hand axe!!! ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32670 )

... And stuck in combat till I went back and killed all the left over eye stalks in the area. That's it, happy hunting.

Oh, btw, I used one crystal focus the whole fight, on the 2nd stage to clear out the adds before the shivan assassin came out. Stunlocking her and running in to melee while she's stunned then draining life from the little guys makes her easy as pie, netted life from that fight.

Commento di 49176

Here's my way of doing the Shartuul's Transporter event.

Each demon will have a set of abilities, and they must to used in conjunction with each other if you want to finish this event. The ability on the far right is a "super" and will consume 1/2 charged crystal foci when you use it.

Phase 1: Felguard

Abilities:
Mortal Strike: High damage single target, 3 second cooldown.
Whirlwind: Does about MS damage over time to every mob within melee range over a couple of seconds. (Imps run away from this.) About 15 second cooldown.
Fear: Instant AoE fear, use this to buy some time and set up a charge on the boss. 15 second cooldown
Charge: Charges to your target and deals high damage (One shots all trash) to the mob and others around it.
Life Drain: Bugged, but it can be assumed from the tooltip that it will hit every demon in the event area and drain their life. Consumes 1 crystal focus.

Strategy:

MS the felhounds.

Charge the imps if you feel like it. (The imps usually don't get one shotted by MS, but you can MS them if you want.)

Use whirlwinds on imps during the beginning, once felhounds start spawning in more than 4, wait for them to gather up on you and whirlwind.

Use charge on approaching mobs to take care of large groups.

Use throw hammer whenever it's up, once the shield reaches 0%, the boss spawns and all remaining adds die.

Boss: Doomguard thing.

Very easy, doable even with only 30% health. Start the fight with a charge, MS, then whirlwind. Fear him when charge is up, and repeat the cycle.

Get him down to low health and you'll take control of the new demon.

Phase 2: Doomguard

Abilities:
Punishing Blow: Similiar to Felguard's Mortal Strike. However, does triple damage against stunned targets.
Fire Breath: Does about 3k dps to targets in a cone in front of you.
Throw Knife: Does minimal damage (about 2k) and stuns for 3 seconds.
Super Jump: Does damage to everything in about a 5 yard radius from you and jumps to your target. Deals the same damage to mobs around the spot you land on. Stuns for 3 seconds.
Consume Gan'arg: Does about 80% damage to a Gan'arg and heals you for damage done.
Ultimate Jump: Flies into the air, becoming completely immune and bombs everything below you to death. Only usable once during the phase. Save if for the boss.

Strategy:

During this phase, get a good feeling with strafing (only need 5 yards for the minimum range on your attacks). It is imperative that you are able stun the mobs, in order to get the most out of your punishing strikes.

For the first few waves, only small Gan'arg will spawn. Gan'args will try to run off somewhere and summon a fel cannon, which will be the main source of damage done to you. Super jump onto the Gan'arg doing a channel into the ground and kill him (alternatively, consume it for health).

Later into the phase, larger acid spewing demons will spawn. When you see one spawn, immediately super jump it, PS, strafe, throw, PS, and use fire breath to finish it and the adds off.

After a couple waves, the boss will come from the teleporter.

Boss: Shivan Assassin

I advise using the super when the Shivan Assassin spawns. It'll get rid of the adds and deal massive damage to the boss.

The boss is basically a stronger version of the big Gan'arg. Super jump, PS, strafe, throw axe, PS, fire breath, strafe, axe, PS, strafe, super jump, and so on so forth.

Once you get to 20%, you take control of the Shivan Assassin and go into the third and final phase.

Commento di 49176

Phase 3: Shivan

Abilities:

Fire Form: 30% extra speed.
Pyroblast: Fire damage.
Flame Buffet: Instant cast, increases fire damage done to target. Stacks to 10 times.
Fire Cleanse: Removes all(?) debuffs from you.

Shadow Form:
Shadowbolt: Shadow damage, heals you for damage done if Siphon Life is on the target. However, consumes the Siphon Life.
Siphon Life: Drains life from target, lasts 1 min.
Shadow Nova: AoE damage, applies a drain life debuff.

Ice Form:
Frostbolt: Frost damage, damage tripled if target is frozen.
Frost Nova: Frost novas and jumps back.
Ice Block: 4 second immunity, reflects spells.

Chaos Strike: Does high damage and increases damage done by you. Consumes 2 foci.
Damage done increased by applications of Flame Buffet.
Damage triples if target is frozen.
Weakens (50,000 less damage done) if target is afflicted by drain life.
IT IS A RANGED ATTACK

First Boss: Eyeballs.

Simple fight. Apply Siphon Life, go into fire form and flame buffet/pyroblast him. Switch back into shadow and shadowbolt when siphon life time is low.

Stay out of the yellow electric charges, when he emotes his Dark Glare attack, go into ice and use ice block, this will do 50k damage to the eye and prevents 100k damage from being taken.

After eye dies, you fight the dog.

Dreadmaw

Start the fight off with siphon, and go into fire form.

Whenever he emotes "Dreadmaw lashes out...", cast fire cleanse on yourself.

Try to get to 100% before killing the boss. You shouldn't take damage from him at all.

Final Boss: Shartuul

When the fight starts, he summons eye tentacles all over the area. These tentacles do a mind flay that slows and does abuot 10k damage over time. These mind flays STACK.

Shartuul has a couple abilities:
Magnetic Pull: Pulls you to him, usually just interrupts casting.
Teleport: Used with Magnetic Pull, ports to another spot. Usually behind you.
Shadowbolts: Negligible damage.
Immolate: This hurts, will tick away 1% at a time for your demon.
Silencing Shot graphic debuff: Increases shadow damage taken by a lot.

As usual, start the fight off with a siphon life and go into fire form.
Start stacking up flame buffets. Be sure you cleanse the shadow damage and immolate off immediately.
After you remove a debuff, move back into shadow form and shadowbolt. Wait for the shadowbolt to hit Shartuul then reapply siphon. Shadow nova the tentacles. Return to fire form.

Repeat until you have 10 flame buffets stacked up. At this time(if siphon life has been applied as it should be), switch into frost form, wait for forms cooldown, frost nova, and hit shartuul with a 300k Chaos Strike. Immediately switch to shadow form and do a 50k shadowbolt to heal yourself to full.

Repeat the above strategies and Shartuul should be dead in no time.

Commento di 59634

A bit of additional info for Phase 2:

A number of people (here and elsewhere) have mentioned that the Fel Cannons are the primary concern for Phase 2. This is not true. I thought that it was at first, but after getting completely crushed after a cannon-oriented attempt, I looked through my combat log and finally saw what the real problem was.

The Mo'arg Tormenters love to cast a spell called Acid Geyser. It's a channeled spell that does over 3000 damage per second for around five seconds. For comparison's sake, the little guys melee for around 350-450 and the cannons hit for 500. Acid Geyser was what was killing me every time.

So whenever you see a Mo'arg Tormenter, your number one priority should be keeping it stunned and meleeing it down as fast as possible. Ignore the little guys, ignore the Fel Cannons; the only thing important enough to be worth diverting your attention is life draining. Once the Tormenter is dead, THEN deal with the rest...the little guys will be mostly dead from all your super jumps by then anyway.

So far, this is the only strategy which has yielded any kind of success for me. I was well over 50% health when the boss came up, and I had been about to finish her off with a bombing run when WoW crashed for no apparent reason (imagine my delight).

Ultimately, the point is that while Fel Cannons are a nuisance and need to be dealt with sooner or later, Acid Geyser is what kills in this fight.

Commento di 55266

Just beat it as well.. Basically used all the information previously stated. I also had a couple fire mages for the last boss and it was pretty easy.
Dropped a depleted mace... hurray..

Commento di 49176

I'll have to add to my Shartuul guide again.

First, Shartuul has another ability, Incinerate.

It does a huge amount of damage (15% life or so), so the only real way to overcome it is:

1) Outrange it, it doesn't seem to have as high of a range as shadowbolt.

2) Iceblock and reflect it, you do some damage to him but you end up having to wait for form CD

3) Heal through it, it's been what I've been doing. If I end up getting hit I just pop a chaos strike shadowbolt heal and keep going.

Commento di 60069

Beat it two days ago, and got the Darkrune again today. Figured it'd be easy, but no. The gan'args seemed to be shielding the mo'arg, making him immune to dmg. I don't recall this from last time. Any info on this?

Commento di 49176

Channeled shield by the small mo'args to make the big ones invincible, just use a superjump to stun the small ones first.

Commento di 61084

After reading all these comments I was hoping to get to the 2nd phase with my first attempt, but it wasn't to be. I've tried 2 times now and never broken the initial shield - got to 10% first time and only 40% the second. The problem has been that I can't figure out how low my health is - I just die and there is no indication. If I click on my portrait, it just shows as 100%. I got my wife - a fellow WoW player to watch the battle and she also couldn't see what I was doing wrong. I am using X-perl Unitframes so perhaps it is related to that. Can someone tell me where I can monitor the felguard health?

Commento di 6571

Has anyone noticed the transporter event being disabled? Since about one and a half days now, the transporter platform ist constantly burning on my server, and no felguard degrader spawns. Using the item won't start the event either.
I don't think it's possible I always arrived after someone beat the event so it could be temporarily disabled afterwards, because I've checked multiple times, and the one time I beat the event the degrader respawned almost instantly.

So, what's wrong with that?

Helpful friends:
Your friends can help you, but you gotta be careful they don't bug your event. A lot of the mechanics of the event prevent the spawns from aggroing your buddies. First off your demon does a ton more damge than they could ever do. You don't have to worry about over aggroing for the most part. Second, your debuffs and stuns can help a ton as can your immobilize effects. Here are a few things to watch for.
Rule 1: Watch out for AE effects. They will wtfpwn you.
Rule 2: Never attack the boss when he gets below 30%. You can bug the event that way on the demon possesion.
Rule 3: Never get aggro on the boss. This can bug the event on the demon possesion.

Phase 1: No help needed. It's ez-mode.
Phase 2: Cannons don't shoot PCs. Be sure to exploit that. You can have your buddies destroy the cannons at no risk. Stuns work great on the boss to help your demon's punishing blow do more damage. Just remember to stop attacking at about 30%. Also watch out for the big guys' acid geyser. That will wtfpwn you in 2 ticks.
Phase 3: Watch out for the stun traps on the ground. Locks are great with their curse of shadows and curse of elements. Flame Buffet really helps out your fire spells. Shadow Priests can really help with their +shadow damage talent. Stack that up for maximum life drain power. Fire mages will wet themselves if you can get a huge flame buffet stack.
Phase 4: Ez-Mode. You friends can help, but you shouldn't loose this fight.
Phase 5: Much like phase 3 but you have Evard's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion to worry about.

Some people might screw up on Shiva Assassin because of the randomness of the fight(sometimes she use weak attacks against you, sometimes she spams Flame Buffet and Pyro). Good way to get her down is always keeping her stunned, super jump, punishing blow(once), run away, axe toss, punishing blow(once), run away, super jump again, and repeat. This is a safe way to do it.

And a little exploit here, if she frost nova you, use your dive bomb(ultimate ability) RIGHT AWAY. Frost nova will bug this ability, you will get the relfectability but you still gain control of your character(lol). so basically you're immune to everything and you're able to attack. You can imagine how fast SA goes down like that =)

Commento di 60069

It seems the tentacles are currently bugged, and will not mind flay, thus making the fight with Shartuul easier than intended.

They will, however, mind flay your character (for 6-7k or so) if there are any left after the fight, so watch out for that.

Commento di 20652

Did this today for the 5th time or so and ran into an issue. the imps in phase 1 literally resisted every single one of my charges. Not sure if it's a recent bug, but it's pretty annoying and made the felguard a bit more difficult since my health was much lower than it should have been.

Commento di Mechanical

Go to this link: http://www.wowwiki.com/The_Legion_Ring
It explains the whole event in detail, i managed it on my 2nd attemp after reading the strategies posted there.
There's just too much information here.

Commento di 66269

If you're like me, then you are wondering why you need to even do any of these things listed above. It is not for a quest, you don't get any large amounts of gold or rep...so what's the point?

Well, the final mob you have to kill drops https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=23230 some phat loot items.

That is all. I hope that helps for those of us that needed a reason to start this long, hard, annoying event. :P

Commento di flimflam

this bugged out on me some how on the first fight.. i got the boss, the doomguard punisher and end up KILLING him, i never took control of him and went onto the next phase.

i did have eyes up from someone elses attempt still up and just killed those while i was early in phase1.

but it was weird how i was able to just kill him off really quick instead of taking control of the punisher.

Commento di Lissya

Maybe someone can shed some light on the problem I am having. I have managed to get through the first phase in spite of the Fel hounds dodging Mortal strike at a rediculous rate and the Imps resisting charge almost every time. If the boss resists a fear it gets pretty close as the Fel Flames seems to be dealing an insane ammount of damage.

Phase 2 I run into a problem. The drain life will not cast. I tried this twice in both attemts I got the drain to cast sucessfully one time each. It is not on cooldown when I am trying again. I am not having any problem killing the big guys as then spawn. They seem to resists my stuns a lot but between the two stuns they aren't hard. I do take some damage from acid geyser and this causes me to need to heal. After I kill the big guy, I start SPAMMING the heal button on one of the remaining small guys, and it simply doesn't cast. Do I have to be holding still? Does it have a small dead zone like the jump and axe throw abilites? Can it not be cast when channeling Fel flames? It is extremely frustrating when I know I could pass this event if I could figure out why I am not healing correctly.

Ok I might be wrong but as i was fighting the part 2 boss i think it gave me 20 apexis shards...

so has anyone else bugged with super jump on stage 2 Vs. the shiva assassin
where your not immune to spells and die 10 sec in?

Commento di 50907

As of today 07/20, it seems the demon you have to control is finally debugged. Other things are bothering me though, since i've attempted this quest before and got to last phase, somethings feel overbugged right now:

First boss has an fire aoe/shield that took me from 80% to 0% in like 10 secs. I've feared him to avoid the damage, but when he came back to melee it just went on.

The special abilitie of your demon (drain life) seems not to work? I've tried it in every possible way: vs 1 mob, when surrounded by 20mobs, on boss, etc... And i never received any health back. But of course, it consumed my cristals. So beware not to spam that ability when you think you've missclicked or something..

Gotta hate that after performing 23 dailies before finally getting my darkrune...

Commento di thevenom

Do yourself a favor and practice this on the test realm before wasting your darkrunes.

UPDATE :: Phase 2

Well, last time i got to phase 3 using the super ability in phase 2 so i thought phase 2 would be a breeze this time around....how wrong i was.

The little guys now Heal the spawned tormentor by ways of a channeling spell (U see a red ray from the little guy to the tormentor).

This landed me in a heap of trouble on tormentor Nr 2 and 3 as i didn´t kill them fast enough and i had to resort to the super ability to finish off tormentor 3, i was still in the air when the Shivan Assassin appeared and simply put, did NOT reflect her spells and she ate me alive while i was in the air and could do nothing about it.

Not sure when they changed the event but ive never seen them heal the big ones before and haven´t seen it in any guide/discussion about the event.
Nor am i sure what happened while in the air, either this was somehow bugged for me or else they´ve nerfed the super ability quite a bit.

Commento di 66451

accidental repost

Commento di scrap

Apologies if it has all been posted, but phase 2 melee ability is "punishing blow", best to do a stun (axe throw or super jump) on the pre bosses and main before doing it as it does 3x the damage against stunned foes.
while in control of the Shiva assasin (the boss u kill in phase 2) i found it best to switch between ice and shadow forms only for this one (the eye thing), shadow bolt a bit and siphon life, switch to ice ice block when he does his glare to reflect it and freeze him in place with the nova if he gets close, use the first ability in shadow form only when siphon life is up for the extra health regen.

for the dog stay in fire and shadow for the duration, u won't need ice but u can if he gets close to nova him in place, always keep siphon life on him then switch back to fire asap, keep the buffet up as it stacks to 10 and damages when you use it, use the cleanse thing when u get the emote on screen and just keep running in a circle around the transporter switching direction if the dog does.

when you beat the dog and shartuul comes, again i stayed fire and shadow, the siphon life keeps u pretty much on whatever health you was when you started the fight, shadow nova him and the tentacle adds for the instant health regen also while in shadow form but try to stay as fire as much as u can to cleanse the debuffs he gives, if you manage to keep him on one side of the transporter and you on the other (from corner to corner i mean) when he begins to cast incinerate you can just back up to the corner and will be out of range, was a fairly easy fight tbh, was my first time on him the other day and beat him with over 20% health without using the special on him or the 2 before ( used it once against the shiva) sorry for wall of spam :)

Commento di rottenzombie

Well two bugs I have found so far for this event:

1. The demon from second stage of the event won't show up. Once the first demon you control broke the shield, nothing happens. The second demon just stays in the bubble and won't come out.

2. When you control you first demon, somehow you point of view is switched from the demon to yourself, you will see yourself lying on the platform and unable to move. Meanwhile you still have the toolbar for the demon, but you can't move it.

So yeah...pretty much another bug-prone mechanism, much like many other of blizzard's fancy stuffs, ah well, I guess they are bound to be broken from time to time. And of course the gm won't refund your darkrune, they never do much of anything anyway.

Commento di 73940

You must complete the quest "Banishing More Demons" for that day before you can turn in the darkrune. Sent in MANY GM tickets to figure out why I couldn't turn in my darkrune. I had a darkrune in my inventory, and gronks grab bag (which had a darkrune in it but since they are unique it wasn't visable therefore not lootable.) Since I couldn't turn in the banishing more demons quest because I had gronks grab bag (which is unique also) I ended up having to delete the bag to turn in the quest and get the crystal forged darkrune. Supposed to be fixed in the next patch to where you can turn in the darkrune without having the complete banishing more demons quest.

Commento di wtribe

Giving this my first two tries today, I screwed up the first attempt. On the second one I got to the 1st demon easily and was doing well. I had him down to 3% health or so with maybe 50% of my own and decided to just mortal strike him down. -Except I couldn't kill him. I saw something similar posted on a related thread and thought to mention it here. Others are finding you can't kill him while he's doing his flame thing. Suuuuucked.

Commento di vitalym

I've successfully done this event now multiple times without using a single healthstone.

One important thing I noticed last night that everyone should watch out for happens during the battle against the Shiva assassin.

If she casts flame buffet on you, MAKE SURE you kill all the cannons. I was at full HP and I started noticing my HP dropping very very fast and she wasn't attacking me. Well the cannons do fire damage to you which normally hit for 200-300 IIRC, but now they are doing 10,000 more damage and that will kill you if you don't take care of them immediately.

Commento di Kazastankas

Having the Doomguard Punisher resist a Terrifying Roar during Fel Flames is instant death.

It sorta sucks.

Aside from that, it's quite possible to do the entire event without using a single special attack. For the Shivan Assassin battles, all the Chaos Strike really does is make it faster. If you can Death Blast every Siphon Life, you shouldn't have a problem.

Commento di 81508

Anyone else having a problem with not being able to use any of the demon's abilities that require charged crystal focii? I have over 15 of them in my inventory and yet about 50% of the time I start the event the abilities are completely mising from the pet bar that I gain for the demon. Not even grayed out... completely missing.

Commento di 19968

Here's some "clever use of game mechanics" to make Shartuul incredibly easy and let you never dip below 95% HP:

Bring a shaman along, have him/her drop Grounding Totem.

Every ability Shartuul uses (except immolate) will be redirected to the totem and doesn't even cause the totem to die! This means you can ignore everything (except immolate) and do as you please. No need to ice block incinerate and hardly any need to syphon life. :)

Also, don't worry about cannons being up when the assassin breaks free. The whole fight there is keeping her stunlocked. Pop the cone flame move after a super jump, move away and use the range stun and repeat. The cannons don't do much damage and she'll never get time to stack flame buffet high.

Commento di 9314

Had a frustrating bug today: I got the Shivan Assassin to 20% and it simply returned to the transporter and the event was over. I have had this happen with the Doomguard as well.

Commento di Whoops

During phase one boss, do NOT whirlwind him. I just did and he decided that it was a good time to finally cast his fire breath, I died a few seconds later after realizing you CANNOT move to cancel the spell. Consider it the same as the SM Arms 2h Axe proc.

Commento di clavarnway

I just tried this event again, and I used the Shivan Assassin's Chaos Strike (her special) twice on Shartuul when he had Siphon Life on him, then followed it up with Death Blast, but my life bar didn't even look like it moved. :( Was this nerfed in the 2.2 patch?

Commento di clavarnway

For what it's worth, I don't think it's impossible for a human, but with the seeming randomness of his Incinerate, I think you are pretty much required to use a couple of Chaos Strike's to inflict some massive damage so he dies before you do. An unlucky shift so you can't Ice Block Incinerate SUCKS. Siphon Life > Chaos Strike > Death Blast was a nice insurance policy against such a thing... no longer.

Commento di SpareiChan

Event is bugged as of 2.2 release, the healing effect of Assassins shadow form: void blast or w/e is not healing when siphon is up nor is siphon working unless you face the target... GL if you try with only drain nova and siphon life. also the eye stalks are super bugged now. confirmed form WOW bug report forum. will try to update once fixed

The Shadow Bolt/Siphon Life bug was hotfixed and now healing you again.

Commento di 64689

Just managed to complete this 'quest'.
No real rewards but I got 825reputation with Ogri'la as a Human.

I didn't have to use any shards.

Phase1 boss is just Mortal strike, fear and charge when cd is up.

Phase2 boss Punishing blow ONLY when boss is stunned.
Get range(STRAFE, don't walk backwards) and use axes whenever possible, also Super-jump. If you get a chance, get life from a Gan'arg.

Phase3 1st boss (Eye-boss), stack flame buffet, always have siphon life up. Try to not switch form too much, incase he starts loading dark glare since you have to get into frost form and take ice block before he does it. Much dmg if you don't. :(
2nd boss (Dog), apply siphon, start stacking flame buffat and spam pyroblast. Whenever he charges you, use Fire cleanse asap and run away from hit to take no dmg at all. Kite him with flamebuffet/pyroblast etc.
3rd boss (last), Siphon life, use shadow nova on tentacles, stack flame buffets, cleanse debuffs asap, pyroblast-spam. Consume your siphon life at 50s-mark or so and reapply. Remember to go into Frostform and iceblock at his incinerate-spell.

Commento di 89462

Anyone know the spawn rate of the demon who starts the event?

Commento di 49176

Some tips&tricks for this event:

Phase 1:
If you run out of the zone, the pullback spell will get you enough range to do a charge on anything you want.

Phase 2:
During superjump, you gain enough height to cast consume gan'arg as you fly.
Axe throw also does 3x damage when stunned, nice for some extra damage.
The key for using flame breath is to cancel target, activate, then retarget. (As of 11-04-07 the breath is bugged and breaks if the current target dies or you change targets.)
If the Shivan Assassin freezes you in place, you can use the super and stay on the ground, you're still immune to spells and are shooting out meteors.

Phase 3:
The eye's beam damage has been nerfed, so you can actually ignore ice form entirely and do the fire form, buffet, shadowform, shadowbolt for health routine without losing too much health.
The dog's been buffed quite a bit, he now runs at an increased rate during the charge, KEEP MOVING and you won't be hit until a couple seconds after the charge ends, by then you should've cleansed the slow off.
If's a good idea to pick one area and keep it cleared of tentacles instead of trying to follow shartuul around. You can actually run behind the pillars marking the ring and hit him from behind there, and not worry about the magnetic pull.
Chaos strike only takes one foci now, take advantage of this and use a 10 flame buffet -> Chaos strike -> Frost Nova -> Second Chaos strike to knock out 50+% of Shartuul's health for only two foci.

Commento di 42102

Something weird happened today (2.3 patch newly deployed). I was a bit sleepy on the 2nd demon and decided to pop its special to clean up a bit.

(Extra piece of info: While floating around, it struck me as a good idea to lifedrain a worker, and that surprisingly worked.)

Anyway, after a bit of pointing and laughing at things dying on the ground, the assassin popped with me still floating around in the air. And I reflected NOTHING to it. It just blasted away at me while I could do nothing to it, just helplessly float around and watch the asssassin range me down. No fun at all :(

Commento di dakoth

It appears that phase 3 is not possible to complete, or even begin, since the 2.3 patch. On two consecutive tries, I've made it to the point of Shartuul arriving through the portal, uttering some nonsense about having "reserved his favorite pets for just such an occasion", and he's just about to shaft to the ground and spawn the Eye, when nothing happens. Nothing. He just stands there, looking rathermuch like a dumb blonde. I sat around for 30 minutes the first time without anything happening.

And don't bother issuing a ticket. It'll just take you 2 hours to get a reply, and the reply will be "thanks for letting us know, we'll forward this to the dev team, and we're sorry but we can't do anything to help you out".

Save your darkrunes until the next patch.

Commento di 103083

Works as intended, I killed Shartuul for 2 hours ago.

Commento di 76340

I attempted to do this quest event earlier today only to have it completely bug out on me. After reaching the part where you possess the Shivan Assassin, Shartuul showed up as usual in order to summon the first of his pets. The pet however, never spawned so I found myself possessing a demon with no way of proceeding with the event without resetting it, before I could contact a GM I tried to run out of the 'event' area and immediatly died.

I'm trying to contact a GM about it right now but from previous experiences I'm pretty sure I'll just get the usual "We have no way of finding out if the event bugged or not so we can't give you the Darkrune back which you lost due to us continually managing to fuck this quest up with every patch"

Ah well, guess I'll try again in another 5 days.

Today (after many months of practice) I beat the entire event without using one super attack

Phase 1: Never miss a cooldown on Shield Smash, dont be afraid to use fear when the shield is over 25%, group the felhounds up and charge a nearby imp to wipe them all out.
Boss: Fear and run in the opposite direction for as long as you can. Charge and Mortal Strike, then fear again. Rinse and repeat and you will take minimal damage.

Phase 2: Try to always keep fel flames up, never miss a cooldown on Consume Granarg. When one runs off to create a cannon: Axe Throw, Consume, Punishing Blow. If you keep fel flames up, it will interrupt the immunity shield the little guys put on the tormentors. Tormentors: Axe, Punsish, run, Super Jump, Punish, Axe, Punish, dead.
Boss: 2 Extra Granarg spawn when the boss comes, consume them when you can. Just keep the boss stunned with Axe and Super Jump and you can't lose. (I had 98% Health when this boss died)

Phase 3: Same strategy for ALL 3 Bosses:
Start in shadow, Siphon, Switch to fire.
Flame buffet and pyro until you have 3 Flame buffets up, switch back to Shadow and Death blast (and shadow nova) before siphon wears off. Back to fire until you have 6 Buffets, then back to shadow.
If you death blast every siphon life and always keep siphon up, you can heal through both Dark Glare and Incinerate.
Shartuul will summon more Eye stalks every 30 seconds or so, if you can time it so that you are in shadow form at this time you can Shadow Nova the tentacles without losing any DPS time.

In the 2nd phase, make sure to kill the fel cannons when u fight the shivan. They apparently do about 10k damage during that time period compared to the 600 they do before that.

Commento di Armstrong

Event skill seems to be twitchy/bug-prone:

I tried this for the first time last night (I have watched the Youtube videos and read the comments here, all very helpful).

I didn't expect to get very far, but thought I should try to get the handle of the controls.

As I was trying to do it some Horde jerk kept buzzing me with his flying mount. Okay, I thought, he's just watching and doesn't realize how close he is.

Then he,repeatedly,would land right on some of the enemy demons (especially the imps) making it hard to target them (clicked on him half the time). Well, my demon died before I even got the to the first boss. So I start to leave but see that the jerk has started the event for himself. Well, that confirms that he was screwing with me on purpose (that's right up there with Horde that kill Aether Rays you're trying to wrangle).

I figure I might as well watch him do the event, maybe get a pointer or two. Well , the event bugged after he possessed the Shivan Assassin (Shartuul's shadow had appeared but he never summoned the beholder/eye-demon). I hung around for awhile but eventually jerk-o ran his demon out of bounds and it died, ending the event.

Commento di 68526

ive made a few attemps and this is the way i did it

first par : degrader

skills ,
1-mortal strike (melee attack) 3 secs cd
2-whirlwind 15 secs cd,

4 fear 15 secs cd
5 chaos charge, 15 secs cd (does an aoe on target)

7 shield breaker (25 secs cd , do ASAP)

the way i do it i dont use a crystal

use the shield breaker as soon as its cooled down

do mortal strikes on the first mobs , youll most likely kill em 1 shot ,
when you start having alot of mobs , wait till their all on you and fear em , then you got 2 choices you can do whirlwind, or , as i prefer , do a chaos charge as it does an aoe upon hitting the enemy that hits for 20-25 k aoe , do this all the long till the "boss" comes out

the boss uses very few skills, he uses mortal strike, fel flames, and axe throw

all you have to do is start bashing him asap , wait till he casts fel flames, fear him, wait 1-2 secs , and as soon as you can use chaos charge, itll interupt the fear but will deal him a mass of dmg ( ~ 25 %) you need to use charge very soon after the fear thought else hell go out of you range and hell come back b4 you have a chance to charge and hell throw an axe wich takes about 15 % of your health , by using the charge you force him to stay close so he cant throw it , just repeat those 2 phase and of course use whirldwind and mortal strikes while waiting for fel flames you should kill him in 2-3 charges

2nd part : demon

this one imo is one of the easyest when you know how to do it , but when you dont its realy hard

demon skills :
1- mocking blow (reduces dmg by 50 % and deals 300 % if the target is stunned)
2- fel flames, ~ 4k a tick for 10 secs attacks in a cone in front of you

4- axe throw , throws an axe that stuns the enemy and hits for about 10-15 k
5- drain life , deals ~ 40-50 k dmg to a mob and heals a part of it to you , use as soon as you hit 90 % or below

7 super jump , you jump in the air stuning the mobs around you , and were youll land

8- flying special , jump in the air and throw some kinda fel boulders to ground mobs (not great)

in this one , all you have to do is use mocking blow on the small mobs until you see the first ghan arg extrator mob,

when you see the extrator guys target em very quickly and use super jump , throw an axe as well , the mob will be stunned for ~ 10 secs, meanwhile you can do your mocking blow 3-4 times wich will kill him , when thats done the adds will most likely be out of the stun so just start going backwards and when their all in front of you use fel flames, you will most likely kill em all ,

rinse and repeat those steps till your got 3 extractor down , thats when the shivan assassin will come out , she has 3 forms, she will most likely go into fire and shadow form , shes about as easy as the extractor , super jump , throw your axe, use mocking blow , if you see shes casting something walk back a bit throw your axe and keep using mocking blow

part 3 : shivan assassin

FIRE FORM-
*Fire bolt
*Flame Buffet
*Skill that takes fire debuff off you

Shadow Form-
*Shadow bolt thing (USE THIS AS YOUR MAIN HEAL!)
*Siphon Life (Heals you for 2100 every few seconds) (DoT spell)
*Shadow nova (Heals you for some damage) (Instant)

Ice Form-
*Frost bolt
*Frost Nova
*Ice Block (Reflects Damage!)

since i didnt manage to kill the first boss very efficiently and died on the 2nd , ill make more attempts and give the rest when ive been able to do it

Commento di Zellyn

I've found that, and this is all circumstancial evidence, but when you gain control of the Shivan Assassin DO NOT MOVE. 99% of the time, if I move around Shartuul will fail to spawn the Eye, whereas if I do not move he will spawn. It's dumb, but it has worked for me so far.

Commento di 92167

This may be stating the obvious for most people, but since I didn't see it mentioned in any of the above posts:

When you start the event, you lose your Crystalforged Darkrune (it is consumed) whether you succeed or fail.

Commento di Darkwell

Just a side note, to anyone attempting this quest as of 2.3.3:

According to multiple GMs, the Shartuul event is a known bug, and frequently fails. Unfortunately, if it fails, you still lose your Crystalforged Darkrune, and the GMs can only refund it several times before they won't anymore.

So, if you're planning on doing Shartuul, just be forewarned that you may lose your chance if he bugs up.

Commento di 17463

New bug for me today.

I used the Ultimate Jump special move when the Shivan Assassin came out at the end of phase 2.

It seemed to be doing fine as I glided around reflecting her spells and throwing fireballs, but as soon as I landed I took off as if I used the special again.

Like before, I glided around in a circle but this time it did not reflect spells or shoot fireballs. So other than using the throw axe ability to stun her for a few seconds, I was helpless as she was able to cast her damage spells. I was at 100% health after landing the first time... after landing the second time I had around 42% health and she had over 80%.

I got her down to where one more Mortal Strike would have finished the phase, but unfortunately she got that last Pyroblast off.

I've been doing the Shartuul event ever since they put in the Blade's Edge dailies, and it's ridiculous how many times I've failed because of a bug.

I'd say 50% of the time I beat Shartuul, 10% of the time I lose due to my own stupidity, and 40% of the time I fail due to bugs.

Just did the assassin and had a good go at her until after a while I used my superjump thingy, got her down to like 17% and then suddenly she healed herself back to 80% again, no idea how that happened. And it seems like the ability bugged because when I came back down I went up in the air again (this is when she healed) after which I pretty much died in the air since I couldn't reflect her spells for some reason.

Perhaps it bugged because I should have used it earlier or something, and she wanted me to possess her but couldn't since I was up and about in the air.

Speculations though...

----------------------------------------------------My guide to Shartuul----------------------------------------------------------------

- Well first you need a Crystalforged Darkrune, which you get by turning in a darkrune to Gahk, the guy with the blue ? over his head. You get a darkrune by having 5 Darkrune fragments. You can get a Darkrune Fragment and possibly a Darkrune by doing the Banishing the Demons quest : (You need to be honored i think)

Darkrune Fragment(x5) = Darkrune -
Darkrune = Crystalforged Darkrune -
Crystalforged Darkrune = Shartuul Event

Before we begin i'd like to begin with all the items you can possibly get:
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/search=depleted

Ok now lets get started on the Strategy for this event
Be sure you have at least 3 Charged crystal focus's if this is your first time!

-----------------------Phase 1 - Felguard--------------------------
Spells Names may not be correct
Mortal Strike - Deals damage to your current target
Kills everything in one hit except imps
Whirlwind - Spins around for a few seconds dealing damage to nearby units.
Very usefull if your surrounded by 5+ mobs, remember this is a channeling spell
Charge - Charges a unit then deals aoe damage around the target.
Kills all units instantly, its a good idea to use on imps only
Aoe Fear - Fears all units around you.
Use it as an alternative to Whirlwind & charge
Throw Hammer - Use it whenever its ready to destroy the portal
**VERY IMPORTANT** once the portal is destroyed the boss will spawn!
Aoe Drain Life - **Drains everybody's life around you, healing you.
You really shouldn't need to use this. But if you do take note that it costs one Charged crystal focus

Strategy
You only need to do 4 important things in this phase
1. Mortal strike anything that moves (except imps)
2. Charge the imps
3. Whirlwind when there are 5+ mobs around you
4. Throw your hammer at the portal

There really isn't much to explain other then that. In the beginning there won't be many mobs that spawn so you shouldn't have a problem. All you need to do is charge the imps that come and kill everything, no need to whirlwind yet.
On the 2nd part of the battle a lot of mobs will spawn on you . When this happens an imp won't spawn on you for a while. So what i do is i do 3 mortal strikes then whirlwind. An imp usually spawns after that and i charge it, everything dies. If whirlwind & Charge is on cooldown then fear!.

Thats all you need to do just keep repeating this process and remember to throw your hammer at the portal and the boss should come out.

Boss Time!
You only need to do 5 things for this boss:
1. Fear whenever its ready
2. Mortal Strike whenever its ready
3. Use charge after fear.
4. Use whirlwind after charge if its ready.
5. Basically use anything thats ready

Try this:
1. Fear
2. Mortal Strike
3. Charge
4. Mortal Strike
5. Whirlwind
6. Mortal Strike until fear is ready
7. Repeat

Strategy
Watch out for fel flames, it hurts!

When the boss spawns Fear then mortal strike him.
What if he resists my fear? - If he resists your fear, you can't do much just use mortal strike if you haven't already then Quickly whirlwind to do as much damage as possible, then try to move back and charge while Mortal Striking him. Repeat this until fear is ready again. Although this doesn't happen often so you don't need to worry.
Yay he didn't resist my fear! - Nice! Thats good. Just charge him mortal strike again and whirlwind. And wait until fear is up again and repeat. He should die in no time.

If you beat him while hes using fel flames you won't beable to do anymore damage to him. You have to wait for him to stop channeling and you will switch demons.

------------------------------------Phase 2--------------------------------------
Spells Again, names may differ
Punishing Blow - Deals about 12k damage and deals 3x damage to stunned units!
Instantly kills the little guys if their stunned
Fel Flames - Its the same idea as whirlwind except it damages mobs in front of you and you can move around while using it but you need to stand still for about a second after using it.
use it when there are 3+ mobs around you
Throw Axe - Stuns a unit for a few seconds.
You should be able to get 1 punishing blow on the stunned unit, note that its 5 - 35 yards
Drain Gan'arg - Drains a small Gan'arg's life(the small mobs) and restores your health = to the amount drained. Try to use it on mobs with more then half life at least.
Does not work on the big mobs. Minimum range of 5. Don't forget to use this, i used to always forget
Super Jump - Jumps up in the air, stunning and damaging all units around the casting point and landing point. Sometimes gliches and you jump to far.
Minimum range of 5. You should beable to get 2 punishing blows or even 3 if you use them quick enough. Use it whenever its ready
Fel Bomb - Makes you invulnerable as you fly up and deal damage to all enemies.
You can only use this once, save it for the boss! Uses up 1 Charged crystal focus

Strategy
1. Superjump whenever a group of mobs spawn then punishing blow 2-3 times right after.
2. Fel flame if 3+ mobs are on you. *Remember its NOT channeling but you have to wait a second after casting before moving.
3. Throw axe at anybody that tries to make a cannon and finish him off with punishing blow. If throw axe is on cooldown then super jump, if both is on cooldown then let him build it unless he has low health.
4. Try to use Drain Gan'arg on mobs that have more then half health.

How do i kill the big guys? - The big mobs usually spawn with a bunch of little guys around him, you wanna kill him ASAP so super jump him Punishing blow him to death. And fel flame in between that.
Or do this:
1. Super Jump
2. Punishing Blow
3. Fel Flame
3. Punishing Blow
4. Punishing Blow
5. If hes somehow still alive, throw axe then punishing blow

Use this same combo with the little guys. When they run off to make a cannon then Super jump them or throw axe.

Boss Time
If this is your first time then there's probably a few mobs floating around, don't be afraid to use your Fel Bomb here if there are 2+ mobs still around. Get rid of them before the boss comes out!
All you need to do is stun lock her. Ignore the rest of the mobs that spawn and punishing blow while shes stun and use fel flames whenever its ready, don't forget to drain the adds!

*Remember Super jump you can land 3 punishing blows and Throw axe you can land 1 punishing blow*

1. Super Jump
2. Punishing Blow
3. Fel Flame
4. Punishing Blow
5. Punishing Blow
6. Throw Axe
7. Punishing Blow
8. Repeat

---------------------------------Phase 3 is on the next post!-----------------------------------

Commento di 104949

---------------------------------Phase 3 Shivan Assassain---------------------------------------
Spells
Fire Form - Increases Movement Speed by 20%
Mainly used for DPS
----------Fireball - Deals Fire damage to an enemy
----------Fire Buffet-Deals Fire damage to an enemy and increases fire damage, stacks up to 10 times
After 2 Buffets your siphon life cooldown should be done.
---------Cleanse- Removes one debuff

Shadow Form
Mainly used for Healing. Start every fight in this form!
----------Chaos Bolt - Deals shadow damage, and heals you (about 20%) if you have Siiphon Life on the mob.
----------Siphon Life - A debuff that heals you for about 1% each tick. Lasts 60 Seconds 30 seconds cooldown.
---------Shadow Nova - Deals shadow damage to all nearby units and gives them a Debuff much life siphon life, heals for about 2600 health per tick for 8 seconds.

Ice Form
Used to reflect those deadly 5 second casting spells.
----------Ice Blast - Deals Ice damage to a unit, deals extra damage if target is frozen
----------Frost nova- Freezes all units in place and you jump back about 20 yards
Ice blast does extra damage from this
----------Ice Block - Blocks and Reflects one Spell.
This is the Reason why you go into ice form!

Chaos Strike - An interruptable spell. It will increase the effectivness of spells by 50000. The smart thing to do will be to Chaos bolt with Siphon life on him. Its more effective if you have:
Flame buffets - If you have 10x then it will heal you to full
Frozen - You dont really need to freeze him. But the extra damage is nice.

Eye Boss
Sometimes Shartuul glitches when he comes out of the portal. When this happens make a ticket, notifying a GM and tell them what happend, they will give you a dark rune

- You wanna start out in shadow form. Chaos bolt him then put Siphon life and shadow nova on him. Switch to fire form when its ready. (You wanna chaos bolt him because your siphon life and shadow nova will not work if you use it too quickly)

What do i do in Fire Form? - In fire form just fireball him and use fire buffet whenever its ready. You dont need to worry about cleansing anything because he doesnt use any debuffs on you

What do i do in Ice Form? - Watch out for an emote and he will begin casting a 5 second spell called Dark Glare. You don't want to get hit by this so switch to ice form and ice block. Then switch back to shadow and Chaos bolt and reapply your siphon life, then go back to fire. If you do get hit by Dark glare then thats expected, sometimes he does it at the wrong time, happens to everyone

Also watch out for the electrical things on the ground, they will stun you if you walk over them.

Dreadmaul
- Same as last time, start out in shadow form. Chaos bolt him then put Siphon life and shadow nova on him. Switch to fire form when its ready.

What do i do in Fire form - Again, same as last time Fireball and Flame Buffet, except this time you have to cleanse whenever he charges. There will be an emote too so you should have no trouble seeing this.

You DO NOT! need Ice Form

When Dreadmaul charges you do not wanna get attacked by him so quickly run back and cleanse the debuff .

Only switch back to shadow form to reapply you dots after he charges.

You wanna end the fight with close to 100% health.

Shartuul

- After you kill Dreadmaul Shartuul will summon eyes that mind flay that slow you and deal damage. Take them out by Chaos bolting one and shadow nova. Then Chaos Bolt Shartuul and put Siphon Life and Shadow Nova on him. Switch to Fire Form.
He will resummon the eyes back during the fight so be ready!

What do i do in fire form? - Same as always. Fireball + Fire Buffet but this time you need to cleanse immolate and Another debuff which i forgot the name of, it makes you very vulnerable to shadow and must be cleansed ASAP.
Be sure to keep a close watch on your debuffs because sometimes you won't even know you have a debuff, used to happen to me all the time

What do i do in Ice Form? - Only switch to ice form when he incinerates. You should get an emote "Prepared to be incinerated!"

If you go below 25% then you should use a chaos strike Make sure shartuul has siphon life on him! then Chaos bolt him, you should jump back up to 100%. You can switch to ice form and frost nova him to deal extra damage but either way you will jump to 100% health if you have 10 fire buffets on him.

Keep in mind that Shartuul does resummon the eyes later in the match. You should see a big green boulder shot on top of the portal, so keep your eyes open. This is also a good time to put your siphon life back on him.

------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations you defeated Shartuul!------------------------------

First of all you must have a target to wirlwind, if that target dies you will stopp wirlwinding, so select a target that's not near you (an imp for instance) and you will wirllwind for the full duration, also use your charge ability as much as possible when there is a big pack of mobs because it's aoe will kill anything in it.

Sadly enough this minigame was bugged for me and as soon as i got into combat with the second demon (at 56% hp) it ended and i was stuck because i was laying on the floor dead i had to page a gm to get me out <.<

Commento di Allakhazam

Sit around, and get aggro on all the fell hunters. When an imp appears, get in minimum charge range, then charge... this should kill everything around you. Repeat. If you get a lot of felhuinters on you, but no imps, use the fear to get them off you and repeat the previou strat. There should be no need to heal on this one.

When the next guy comes out, immediately charge, and mortal strike him. Fear, and charge again.

Commento di Allakhazam

in which form do we kill the eye? shadow fire or frost? any tips ty

Commento di Allakhazam

Ok im pissed off cause i never get the darkrune any more. and if ur exalted do u get the darkrune?

Commento di Allakhazam

I have alot of problems with this quest line. Using the abilities that are suppose to heal your demon don't seem to work so I don't get very far.

Starting with the first demon using the life tap ability uses the crystal focus item, doesn't seem to give me any life and doesn't kill any of the surounding mobs.

Then when I do manage to take over the next creature the "consumes a gotan or whatever they are called lifeforce to heal you doesn't seem to do anything at all 98% of the time. I think I got it to work once.

Anyone offer any inside as to how to get this to work any better?

Is this event bugged at the moment? I'm sitting with my demon in front of the destroyed shield, but Shartuul doesn't get unbanished.
I opened a ticket, but no replies yet.

Commento di Allakhazam

You still get a Darkrune when you are exhalted, also- IF you manage to win this event, you get a BoE random epic. If you use a charged crystal focus on it, it enhanced that BoE epic. It so far as I have seen from my friends is only armor, and i've seen a few pairs of gloves, and heard of pants. who knows! it definitely is worth it if you do the daily to get the darkrune every day, cuz i get it about every 3rd day. 9 charged crystal foci are about good for the event to be stacked well!

Commento di Allakhazam

You get 3 demons to control

First:

Fel guard:

Should be pretty easy, just remember to damage the shield whenever the cooldown is ready.
Abilities:
Chaos Charge: Charges an Opponent and releases an aoe afterwards, you should save it's cooldown to kill the imps, cause you'll get in trouble if they survive too long
Mortal Strike: One hits creeps.
Whirlwind: Channeling aoe, usually requires 3-4 ticks to kill the demons only use this if there are more than 3 doggys.

To defeat the doomguard use fear -> charge -> ms -> ms till it dies.

Doomguard:

Lot harder than the Fel guard cause the opponents deal a lot more dmg.
Abilities:

Punishing blow: deals ~10k dmg or 30k dmg when the enemy is stunned.
Throw axe: deals minor damage @ 8-35 yards range and stuns the target.
Super Jump: Jumps into the air stunning all opponents around him + deals ~5k dmg
this stun also appears in the place where he lands.
Breath fire: Does ~3500 fire dmg per tick in a cone, channeling.
Life leech: deals ~30k dmg to the small demons and heals you for the same amount

Tactics: After a few waves of small demons, groups of 4 small ones and 1 big one will spawn. You have to use Super Jump on the big one and kill him with punishing blows before the stun is over, afther that use your fire breath to weaken the small ones. Whenever one of them tries to create a fel cannon you either have to stun them or kill them with life leech. This repeats 2-3 times, after that the next demon spawns.
If there are more than 4 of the small ones left then, you should use the ultimate to clear the battlefield. Kill the next demon by perma stunning him (jump--> 2punishing blows -> axe -> punishing blow -> jump -> ....)

After that you get the Shivan assasin.

Commento di Allakhazam

Are there any tactics against shartuul?

I just kite him with shadow spells then transfer into fire and shoot from range..

But I cannot do it :(

Commento di Allakhazam

Sounds like a waste of time.

Commento di Allakhazam

So far as I've seen the stages go like this.

1)enslave a felguard guy and kill felhunters and imps until the sheild is down on the portal.

2) Doomguard spawns out of portal and you must fight him to enslave him

3)Once you've taken over the Doomguard there are waves of Gan'arg drillers and tinkerer looking guys. Kill big ones, AoE the little ones before they have the ability to put down their mini fel cannons. After 2-3 waves...

4)Engage Shivan Assassin and take her over.

5)Next use the Shivan Assassin to fight the eye of shartuul. Keep moveing. Try to avoid the energy storm looking spells all around. Defeat him. See other posts for mor strategies.

6)Finally you get to fight Shartuul himself. The Fel stalks on the ground will do dmg, try to AoE them occasionally if you get a chance. The Assassin has an amazing flame buffet effect. If you get this far and have buddies who are fire-type casters, haveing them on the side is FANTASTIC. My 70 Warlock was dealing 100K (no kidding) incinerates and still not pulling off the assassin. Once he's dead, you're all done.

DOn't know the outcome of the quest. Have only been a helping hand to someone who did finish it.

Commento di Allakhazam

Here are my Tactics: (I havn't beaten Shartuul till now because I don't get a darkrune ^^)

Mobs #1:
Kill them with Mortal Strike. If there are many get close to an imp and charge it. Your Charge Blast will kill all felhunters near you.

Boss #1:
Nuke him down with Mortal Strike. Whenever he casts his Breath thing fear him -> charge and nuke him again.

Mobs #2:
Lifeleech the small ones. And kill the Big Ones as fast as possible. After that nuke the small ones with your breath. If a small one trys to create a flak stun / kill him.

Boss #2: (The woman)
SuperJump -> 2x Punch -> Run away throw the Axe -> 1x Punch
do this al the time and she will be easy. If there are small ones still living when she comes kill the with lifeleech.

Boss #3: (The Eye)
I haven't found a ood tactic against it but NEVER run into those green strokes because they stun you. Whenever the eye begins to cast his special (warning on screen) get into ice form and ice block. Hold your lifeleech on it.

Boss #4: (The Hound)
This dog SUXXS.
I hate it because it can be !@#$ing hard or so easy :>
NEVER get in melee Range with the dog. Whenever he wants to do his charge kite him or ice block that he won't hit you because it will do a lot of damage.

Boss #5: (Final / Shartuul)
I think he is the final boss. Get in Shadowform at the beginning and cast Life leech on an eye a little bit away from you. Get into fire form and AoE some of the eyes. Cast at Shartuul what you can. Whenever he whispers "bla i will incenerate you" and you get a warning on the screen get into iceform and iceblock because it will instant kill you.
If you have a m8 which can do firedamage stack the flame buffet on shartuul and your mate will do insane damage (I haven't done this).
Repeat everything until you down him. I brought him like this to about 50% when I slept and didn't iceblock his incenerate :(

Good Luck

Commento di Allakhazam

for me this event ends as soon as I see the first boss. It just brings me back to my body and it all ends. wtf am I doing wrong1?

Commento di Allakhazam

You rarely get the Darkrune from the other quest, I think i have gotten 3 in a couple weeks.

You MC a demon, but just when you think the event is over, you mindcontrol the demon that you were fighting, and have to fight with him.

I made it as far as a Shivan Assasin in the teleporter that came out before i was overwhelmed with mobs and was killed.

I am starting to wonder if this is just a line of infinately harder events, or if there is actually an end to it. If there is and end, I wonder if they have put any sort of reward for it?

Commento di Allakhazam

Heres good complete guide about how to pass this event:

Commento di Thottbot

I noticed the same thing but I did get it to heal, once you use the heal ability you must sit still for a second w/o getting hit so use it after a fear bomb. It should take a second to start up and then give you a HOT for like 9999 hp.

Commento di Thottbot

This is the Epic I got off him: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32941/corruptors-signet

Kind of wish he'd dropped the BoE pally tank sword, but ah well. I finally downed the bastard!

This is how it was done, once I hit phase 3, where I controlled the Shivan.

Eye: Ice Block is your friend on this fight. Switch it up from Fire form to apply Flame Buffets/Deal Damage to Ice, just as he starts casting Dark Glare. Ice Block at the last second, and he'll take 1/2 of the damage he would have dealt to you. After this, swap over to Shadow form to deal a Siphon Life and Shadow Nova (both of which heal you for 2K each tick), then get back to Fire Form. Lather, rinse, repeat until dead (and you CAN allow 1 Dark Glare through doing this).

Dreadmaw: Easy fight. Ice form is not needed for this fight. Keep mostly to Fire Form while keeping those dots on him, cleanse off the debuff every time it's applied. I was able to heal from 25/100 to 90/100 during this phase. Use Pyroblast when you have the breathing room, but otherwise, just let the dots go to town. Make SURE not to switch to Shadow until AFTER the lacerate is applied, or else you're going to get hurt.

Shartuul: Fire and Shadow is key here, with SOME ice mixed in when he does his Incinerate ability. Go to Shadow first to apply Siphon Life and 1-2 applications of Shadow Nova, as I THINK it also heals you if you kill the Eye Stalks with it. After doing this, swap to Fire, and just stand your ground, casting Flame Buffet and Pyroblast. When he applies the Shadow debuff to you (+10K shadow damage), cleanse it FAST, as this is his primary way of dealing damage. After cleansing, swap to Shadow, hit Death Blast once (it will use up the Siphon Life charge to heal you for quite a bit), reapply the two life drains, and repeat until he's down.

Commento di Thottbot

Here's a very detailed guide of this quest:

Use ur darkrune near the teleporter to control the demon and begin:

Phase 1 - Felguard degrader

Abilities:

Mortal strike: does high dmg (also reduces healing but that is not useful anyway), 3 sec cooldown;
Mighty whirlwind: channels an aoe which damages mobs near you, 25 sec cooldown;
Terrifying roar: makes an aoe fear for 6 sec; 15 sec cooldown;
Chaos charge: charges, stuns target and makes aoe, dealing high damage, has a limited range of 8 to 35 yards, 15 sec cooldown;
Throw hammer: throws a hammer at the shield damaging it, 25 sec cooldown;
Absorb life: drains health from nearby monsters, costs 1 charged crystal focus (it is said to be bugged).

Aim: destroy the shield.

Recommendations and explanations:

Use throw hammer every time you can, it damages the shield around 12% per hit. When mobs start coming, use mortal strike on the first and charge too. When more and more mobs start to coming, fear them, and when there are loads attacking you, charge an imp, but very close so many mobs get affected by the aoe. If it does not work, use whirlwind. Don´t forget to use the hammer as much as you can.
When the shield is destroyed, all mobs get killed and a doomguard spawns. Use mortal strike many times and use fear and then charge to beat him. When u beat him, you stop controlling the felguard and it dies and you control now the doomguard, entering phase 2. There is no need to use absorb life if you follow this method.

Phase 2 - Doomguard punisher

Abilities:

Punishing blow: attack with both weapons dealing dmg and reducing dmg done by the target by 50% for 4 seconds - causes triple damage against stunned targets, 3 sec cooldown;
Fel flames: channels an aoe cone, damaging many targets, can move around without cancelling ,22 sec cooldown (cooldown changed in patch, did not have time to look at it);
Throw axe: throws an axe dealing dmg and stunning the target for 5 sec, has a limited range of 5 to 45 yards; 8 sec cooldown;
Super jump: deal an aoe stun for 5 sec and jump to your target, when you fall, you deal another aoe stun, has a limited range of 5 to 45 yards, 15 sec cooldown;
Consume essence: drains life from a lesser monster, has a limited range of 10 to 40 yards, 45 sec cooldown;
Dive bomb: fly up around the teleporter, throwing fel bombs at enemies below and reflecting some spells (flies one lap around the teleporter), costs 1 charged crystal focus, 5 min cooldown.

Aim: survive and kill mobs around you.

Recommendations and explanations:

Lesser mobs will spawn, use throw axe and super jump to stun them and then use punishing blow to deal triple dmg (NOTE: if you are jumping to a mob who is behind the teleporter from your point of view, do not jump to him or you might end up in the top of the teleporter, causing a reset). These lesser mobs can spawn some little fel cannons but they are weak and do little dmg, kill them when there are no other mobs alive. When a greater mob spawns, nuke him. Maybe a lesser mob casts health funnel on the greater one, making him immune too. Use consume essence as much as you can to keep full health, remember that using punishing blow against stunned targets deals triple dmg.
When a certain amount of time has passed, a shivan assassin will appear. This mob is very strong. It is recommended to use dive bomb when she appear (NOTE: if you cast dive bomb when dazed, you will fly at low speed, increasing flying time, but the bombing and the spell reflection time will not be enlarged; so you will be more susceptible to the shivan assassin's spells and this can mean a loss). When flying, you can still use ranged abilities such as throw axe. If you cannot afford a charged crystal focus, try to get out of range so she would not be able to cast spells on you, and use throw axe, use punishing blow, then run away, then jump, etc. Will be slow, but it's a way to win. When you defeat the shivan assassin, you lose control of the doomguard and it dies and you now control the shivan assassin.

Phase 3 - Shivan assassin.

Abilities:

Aspect of flame: allows you to cast fire spells, grants you high movement speed;
Aspect of shadow: allows you to cast shadow spells, grants you medium movement speed;
Aspect of ice: allows you to cast ice spells, grants you low movement speed;
All aspects have a 1.3 sec cast (no need to be not moving) and have a 30 sec cooldown and make a 10 sec global cooldown on the other aspects.
Fire spells:
Pyroblast: deals dmg, 4 sec cast, no cooldown;
Flame buffet: afflicts target with a fire dmg taken increased debuff, stacks up to 10 times, lasts for 60 sec, 10 sec cooldown;
Cleansing fire: dispels one debuff on you, 8 sec cooldown;
Shadow spells:
Siphon life: afflicts target with a debuff which drains life, lasts for 60 sec, 30 sec cooldown;
Shadow nova: makes aoe, dealing damage and debuffing the targets with a debuff which drains life, lasts for 10 sec, 10 sec cooldown;
Deathblast: deals dmg, 2.5 sec cast, if target has already siphon life it consumes it, draining life equal to the dmg dealt, no cooldown;
Ice spells:
Icy leap: immobilizes nearby enemies and jump a bit backwards, lasts for 3.5 sec, 12 sec cooldown;
Ice blast: deals dmg, 2.5 sec cast, deals double dmg against frozen targets, no cooldown;
Ice block: become immune for 4 sec, reflecting all spells cast on you, but you are unable to move or cast spells, 30 sec cooldown
Chaos strike (valid for all aspects): deals dmg, deals additional dmg if target has flame buffet, deals triple dmg against frozen targets, weakens targets with siphon life, 2.5 sec cast (no need to be not moving), gives u spell haste for 30 sec, 15 sec cooldown, consumes 2 crystal focus.*

Aim: still surviving and killing enemies.

Recommendations and explanations:

This is the coolest part of the event and it requires most skill. You will first fight a flying eye, which can make melee dmg, fel fireball, and an everlasting location aoe which stuns you. It will also take long, casting a channeling spell which is similar to C'Thun's dark glare, use ice block to reflect it back. If you can't switch to ice form, try to get out of range like 100 yards away, it won't reach you. Remeber to have siphon life always up and when 30 secs have passed make deathblast then renew the siphon life. Stack loads of flame buffets. Don't let him get close to you or he will make a debuff on you which increases dmg taken, dispel if you can. Easy fight.
After this, a slow moving hound will appear which only attacks in melee. Key thing is to keep out of range all the time. Sometimes he will make a charge on you, making a nasty debuff on you which slows you and deals dmg to you, dispel asap. Aspect of ice is not needed here. If you are low life starting this fight, just do siphon life, get a bit close and do shadow nova then start stacking flame buffets and you can end with 100% hp before next encounter. If you are in shadow form and fire form is on cooldown and you have the debuff try to exit the area so you are pulled back, leaving the dog behind. Easy fight.
After this, you should have many charged crystal focus wtih you. You now fight the final boss - shartuul, a big eredar. He spawns eye tentacles like C'Thun and make mind flay on you, use shadow nova to get rid of them. He will make a debuff on you which increaes shadow dmg taken, dispel it. He also makes immolate on you, before casting an incinerate. You must switch to ice and make ice block before he manages to cast the incinerate or run out of range or he make 50% of your hp disapear. Going out of range is an option too. Start casting chaos strike when he has siphon life, flame buffet (10 charges), and its frozen, so cast it just after freezing it. Remember you will have spell haste so go pew pew with pyroblasts. It will be easy if you use all the abilities that the shivan assassin has.

It's a very long fight, so be sure you have enough time to do it, here's a video of one who has done it (casting loads of times chaos strike) http://files.filefront.com/Shartuul.wmv/;7708513;/fileinfo.html

EDIT: as of latest patch, chaos strike only costs 1 charged crystal focus (i did not see tooltip, i just remember using it 3 times and have 3 more crystals than expected). Also I noticed that the shivan assassin is not so strong against you at phase 2.

EDIT 2: the tooltip for chaos strike is not changed, but the cost is 1 crystal focus.

OK
you DO NOT "need" more than one charged crystal focus to do this quest. though more, in multiples of two for the last demons special attacks is ok, could be pretty helpful, but not necesary.

the first wave, simple.
use your throw thing EVERY chance you get no matter what your doing, it wont break your whirlwind, it wont make you vulnerable, its imperative that you use it ASAP unless you want a really long fight with these monsters.
mortal strike enemies until they gang up on you, then target something far away, like an imp that stays away, get at MINIMUM casting distance and hit your charge. all dead.
Charge on cooldown? use fear.
charge and fear on cooldown? use whirlwind, last resort. use mortal strike if youre totally defenseless .. . lol

BOSS - as soon as you see it, charge, and mortal strike then fear.
charge on cooldown? fear.
fear on cooldown? mortal strike, whirlwind as last resort until you can do something better. itll interrupt the whirlwind dont worry.
once he is feared, run AWAY from him. get AS MUCH DISTANCE as possible. this will allow your cooldowns to restore. charge him as he approaches, mortal strike, whirlwind, then fear in the middle of the whirlwind as soon as you can.
ive found that using this combo you can win this fight with vry very very little health. no charged crystals needed whatsoever.

NEXT WAVE
you new demon is more fun, ratehr easy as well.
your main attack, punishing blow, has a very fast cooldown, something like a second, so splatter things with it. STUN THEM FIRST for max damage.
how do you stun?
you have two stuns, your knife, and your jump.
they both require a little distance, so run sideways (not backwards, its too slow) and hurl that knife.
the midgets you first meet are just fun, so slaughetr them gleefully, eat them, burn the, chop them to bits, but most importantly, learn your moves and cooldowns. cannons wont hurt you much but if you have a spare second crush them if they appear, even though one or two can come in handy.
youll notice that when you cast your flames you can still attack in other ways, and you dont have to stand still. so dont stand still.
when you see the first big demon, you need to bring it down fast, they come in regular intervals.
jump or knife him, whichever isnt on cooldown, either of these will stun him. then use punihing blow, the fact that he is stunned makes this hurt him bad. now run sideways away from him, and use jump, or knife, whichever isnt on cooldown, rush him and beat him to the ground. dont forget to cook him and his buddies. if you dont do it fast enough the little monsters will heal him, this is what flames is for.
keep this up and dont worry about cannons. . in fact, cannons make great targets for jumping to when there are too many little deomns. gets you away from them, allowing you to breathe fire right into the whole group of them, and midgets make a tasty mid-flight snack.
EAT THE MIDGET DEMONS
when jumping, if youre jumping a fair distance, it is eay to turn your camera and target a healthy one, and hit the consume midget button. USE IT EVERY CHANCE YOU GET like your stuns, it requires a little distance, but thats easy to get.
so keep this up and eventually its time to kill the next boss, which also isnt hard at all with very little life

BOSS
VERY IMPORTANT! LIFE AND DEATH HERE!
USE YOUR SPECIAL MOVE NOW!
i used it next to this boss, and it seemed to stun her. which is good, because once you hit the special move your demon will begin to fly around, hurling pretty green fireballs at everything that moves, but (the boss can still cast on you and if it does, introduce it to your knife.) destroying most of it, if not all of it, ither way, this wins the fight for you if you are relentless when you land.
KEEP IN MIND that just because you are flying, and cant control your movement, doesnt mean you cant useyour other atacks.
if using this massive attack near the boss stunned her, good.. . . now just keep your eyes on her, the fireballs are automatic from you. if she stops being stunned, THROW YOUR KNIFE thats right, in mid air, stun her again.
keep her stunlocked and she cant hit you, when you land, hit your flames, make sure shes still stunned, knife or jump, whatever youve got. pinishing blow her away, still alive? get a little distance, stun, and mess her up some more. she never touched me.

WAVE 3
its three bosses, an eyeball, a dog, and a punk.
the eyeball ate me cause i wasnt paying attention to the TWO THINGS mentioned below. "shapeshifts". apparenbtly, each one has a 30 second cooldown. so youll start out in shadow, (at least, i did) so rush that eyeball as soon as it comes floating out of the portal, and SHADOW NOVA it, this will replenish some damage if you take some early, also, put the drain life debuffs on it, then switch into fire.
you dont have much time to learn these moves.
flame form is fast so get some distance and use your flame buffets, youll want to stack these up.
TWO THINGS TO WATCH :

ONE watch the siphon life debuff, if its about to expire, you want to go shadow, and use shadowbolt to heal yourself a quite a bit. this eats your siphon life debuff, so re-apply it now, and the shadow nova, both of which continue to heal you
TWO watch for the "raid warning" zone warning thing that says "eye of shartuul focuses intensely" then switch to ICE FORM and use ICE BLOCK TO REFLECT IT.

if one of those two things arent happening, you need to be in fire form, applying flame buffets, and the occasional fireball, and cleansing any debuffs the eye may be putting on you.
if one of those things just happened, now your flame form is on cooldown, ok . . use the special move. this eats two of your crystals, so if you dont have any-dont want to use the regular attacks from the form you are in until you can get back into fire, or until one of the TWO THINGS occurs.

remember, the 30 second cooldowns on your aspect forms are independant of each other, if you just switched into fire form, you can still switch lickety split into ice form . . . so only use ice form to block the eyes focuses, that way it will always be available for it.

those are my insights, and ill correct them the next chance i get to do this, and ill pwn shartuul.
have a good one :)
P.S.
For those of use who like to use the numbers above the letters on our keybaords for attacking, rather than using the moose, your demons attacks appear on the "special action bar" refer to some screenshots to determine just wehre they will appear so you can set some key bindings, if that will help you.

There have been a lot of comments previous so I'll skip right to the 3rd phase.

The Eye of Shartuul -

If you read the above comments, they'll tell you to switch from Shadow to fire to ice in a complex way that will most likely get you killed. The bottom line is that you cannot get hit more than once by the Dark Glare attack. If you're trying to do too many things, you'll get stuck between cooldowns and not be able to reflect the gaze attack.

I prefer the SAFE & SIMPLE approach:
start in shadow, apply siphon life, get close enough to do shadow nova for the second Healing over time effect. Just stay in Shadow spamming shadow nova and deathblast when siphon life is low then reapply. When he starts the Dark Glare attack, jump over to frost and reflect. Hit him with a couple ice blasts or ice nova him while waiting for the shadow cooldown and then switch back and repeat. This is slow, but it is safe. You'll survive to the next phase, the hound.

Again, what earlier posts down play is how much the hound SPEEDS UP. When he gets to 50% health, he will practically match you speed for speed in the FIRE form. If he catches up to you he can hit for almost 100K.

So, that being said, start out the fight in shadow and apply siphon life and shadow nova. Switch to fire and throw some of the flame buffets on him. The most important thing to do is get your health up as fast as you can. Don't bother casting pyroblast unless you are at full health.

If you are at full health and are staying ahead of him fairly easily, then let loose a couple of pyroblasts.

Also, I notice that sometimes the "lashes out" emote does not appear yet I have a DOT debuff on anyways. If you see 12k ish damage tick away for no reason, cast the cleansing flame - THIS WILL SAVE YOU.

FLAME BUFFET DOES DAMAGE - not only does it apply a debuff to your enemy, it also does damage by itself. This means you have an instant cast spell that you dont' even have to slow down or face your opponent to cast.

I beat the Hound WITHOUT casting a SINGLE Pyroblast. I just ran around like a pansy little demon girl the entire fight whittling him down with Flame Buffet. Can you do it faster with pyroblast? yes, but this is SAFER

Finally Shartuul - the above comments are adequate; I beat him on my first try (I struggled much more with the eye and hound before I did the above tactics). The most important thing is to reflect the Incinerate spell and cleanse the immolate. If you get hit by incinerate, it will take away 2/3 of your life (but then, even getting hit by that you can use your super ability and heal back to full).

The 3rd phase becomes a game of endurance but little else.

I have tried it 4 times I always die on first boss I always only have about 10% life or less when he comes out

Commento di Thottbot

OK, so I just tried twice to start this fight and burned two crystalforged darkrunes to do it and it didn't start. Orc warrior standing in the teleporter thing... is that what's causing it?

Commento di Thottbot

Try watching some vids on the web... ppl do phase 1 quite easily.

Commento di Thottbot

Yes it's hard, it is supposed to be. If completed, you are guaranteed a rare or epic item. Most items will sell for 100g+. It becomes a very lucrative opportunity and chance for easy epics.

I've completed it 8 times now and quite enjoy it; though Shartuul himself takes 15 - 20 minutes.

By the way, he has a chance to drop two epic BOP rings. One is for physical DPS, the other for magic DPS; it is a good idea to put it on master looter or just group loot (if you trust the person you're grouping with not to ninja) and include the class that could use its opposite so that the ring is not wasted. I had the loot on FFA when I downed him and grabbed a BOP ring for a caster when there was a caster in my party (I didn't know that others could loot at that time). SO pretty much that was a wasted epic

Commento di Thottbot

I suck at the Shivan woman fighter

With the first two demons I kick ass, I'm at a point now where I can kill everything with the first two demons and only take 10-20% damage each.

But with the Shivan woman fighter I suck. I am learning to iceblock now, but I can't ever get her energy up anymore. I had it once, but now I can't heal her good anymore.

No matter what the boss does, there's no way to avoid it (unless you iceblock that big thing) and her health is _constantly_ draining but never filling with me. What can I do? Thank you

Commento di Thottbot

Unless you feel you're really pro at this, I wouldn't bother to try this quest.

Pre-patch it was an easy win once you got the Shivan woman. Shartuul took a long time, but you just had to heal-nuke it. I would almost say he was too easy, but at least you could afford to make mistakes (like shifting forms at the wrong time).

Now patch 2.2 has come and I have just, for the first time ever, failed on Shartuul.
First of all there's the Death Blast bug, making the Shadow Nova and Siphon Life the only things that *just barely* heal you enough to outlast Shartuul's nuking.
However, the Fel Eye Stalk tentacles now also flay you, so you'll want to switch to Shadow to kill them with the nova. However, if you do so at the wrong time, like you just got debufs or incinerate is incoming, you've pretty much lost already due to CD on shifting forms. Atm there's no way you can get all that lost health back.

Yes, I'm sure it's still doable, but it's ALOT harder and requires absolute perfect timing of the abilities. Anyway I guess I'll stash the Darkrune Fragments, a Darkrune and a Crystalforged Darkrune in my bank till they fixed at least the Death Blast.

Commento di Thottbot

I used my darkrune to start the event and another person took control of the demon... I'm not positive whether he used one also and just finished it before I did but my darkrune was gone and he had control.

He was from my old guild but wouldn't respond to tell from me or my friend that was with me so I'm thinking maybe he found an exploit to take control of the event when somebody else uses their darkrune... I didn't see him actually casting a darkrune and he was acting odd.

So either way watch out and make sure nobody else is around so you don't end up out of luck.

What makes it worse is I started doing daily's just to be able to do this quest and this was my first darkrune from the first banishing turnin, and I got screwed out of it... :(

Commento di Thottbot

Is this fixed yet?

Commento di Thottbot

Pish & %^&*e mixed, the event takes 20 mins; so you gotta wait until the person in front of you is done.

Then.
Scramble in an attempt to start the event for yourself, there is usually 5/7 more people waiting on this also.

Conclusion...
This is a horrible stupid goat of quest, a populated server = an epic fail.

Solution...
Make it possible to do it in groups, for eg. 2 people = bosses have 2xHp and power, 4 people = bosses have 4xHp and power, or something similar.

/pissedoff waiting.

Commento di Thottbot

As the shivan assassin if you're getting low on health you can save yourself using the special ability. Once Choas Strike is used you have a Twisting Nether buff for 30 seconds that increases your spell damage greatly and makes you cast much quicker, so if you death blast him while he has siphon life on him you'll receive a boatload of health and get in all the nuking you can before the buff runs out. I use it when I get down under 40 health. You really shouldn't need this except maybe the final boss.

Also it's fun to maximise the choas strike by getting him to 10 flame buffets, switch to shadow form and put siphon life on him, then switch to frost form and freeze him then cast choas strike for maximum damage then shift back into shadow form and death blast for full health.
I did this and went from 15 to 100 health instantly against Shartuul.

Chaos Strike
50000 yd range / Instant Cast / 15 sec cooldown
Inflicts Unholy damage to an enemy and imbues the caster with the power of the Twisting Nether for 30 sec sec.

If the target is afflicted with Flame Buffet, the target will take the additional damage.
If the target is frozen, the damage from Chaos Strike will be tripled.
If the target is afflicted with Siphon Life, the target will be weakened, taking additional damage.
WARNING! Using this ability will consume 2 Charged Crystal Focus (currently pre 2.3 it only takes 1 crystal)

Commento di Thottbot

simple guide for the darkrune event :(have to prepare at least 5 charge crystal focus)

1st: for the first you are using fel guard shouldn't have any problem on adds just remember throwing the hammer once it's not on cooldown,while the mini boss spawn just FEAR AND CHARGE HIM WHEN HE CAST FEL FLAME

2nd: then u are using a doomguard,remember 3 skills superjump,consume essence,and flow axe have 5 yard minium range

(as soon as the drill demon begin to spawn,fight just like superjump to the drill demon->change target to the small demon and consume essence while u are on the sky->change target to the drill demon then punishing blow x2 ->then channeling fel flames)
sometimes the small demon will channel the red ray on the drill demon the make it immune to damage so when it's happen then kill that small demon first,beside this the drill demon should always the first priority to kill
if everyings going well(no stun resist etc)the canon shouldn't spawn but when u see that spawn destory it asap,using flow axe can one shot it
as soon as the boss spawn use dive bomb,it will help to kill the small demon the prevent they process to make canon in the middle fight and also hitting the boss half hp,then the boss fight is just like(superjump->punishing blow x2->flow axe->punishing blow x1->)u take no damage on the boss fight if stun resist not happened

3rd: then u are using the shivan assassin,remember when you are change your form it has 15SECOND GLOBLE COOLDOWN ON ALL FORMS,so don't be naughty and always change form:o

first fight is against the big eye demon,this is a dps fight,basically keep urself on fire form and nuke it and use ice block when it cast dark glare,u don't need the shadow form at all just use siphon at the beginning
move away when it cast yellow beam and u must not step on the yellow area or you will get stun more then one min(game over)

second fight is against the fel hound,at this point u should have not more then 30%health but it's a #$%^ing easy fight and u will be able the get 100% health back
so shadowform and siphon life at the beginning,then just use flame buffet and keep running,RIGHT AFTER IT CHARGE ON YOU USE FIRE CLEANSE ON URSELF,then u can whatever change shadowform to darkblast or just reflesh siphon life,or simplly keep fire from nuke once u get 100% health,U TAKE NO DAMAGE ON THIS FIGHT IF U ABLE TO CLEANSE URSELF AFTER IT CHARGE U

then you will fight last boss,firstly use shadow nova on the adds to clearing a area and siphon life on boss then u can just stand on that place and change to fire form nuke,remember cleanse ueself when immolate dot on you,and keep urself at least 50% health before the incinerate(he cast this every one min)
in order to top off ur health u must use chao strike,when u just reflesh the siphon life and change back to fire form,is the best time the use chao strike,chao strike allowed u to drain life on EVERY DAMAGE YOU DEALT when siphon life on the boss and last 20second or so it allow u to recover more then 100% health so u just use pyroblast and flame buffet while in the chao strike duration don't border the kill adds or cleanse dot,u should be able to kill him by not more then 2 chao strike

Another bug is that the Eye boss don't even spawn. Shartuul appears and does his emote but the scary little eye don't dare to show up. This is happening really often for me, not only does it take long time to get the runes to do this event but even longer as it bugs way to often...

Commento di Thottbot

ya it bugged for me 2. first time beating the shivan assassin and the eye never spawned. i hope bliz fixes that soon cuz i rly wanna try the assassin out

Commento di Thottbot

Ya a GM said they're aware of it when it bugged for me... hope they fix this soon, it's an awesome quest.

Commento di Thottbot

I had the bug where Eye didn't spawn once. Waited on gm ticket in that form and got a new darkrune. Unfortunately I messed up my retry. Another bug I had today was in phase 2 against Shivan Assassin. Everything was going fine, but all of a sudden I couldn't see it. It had no problem killing my demon with pyroblasts though. Didn't see her again until just before the final one finished me off. I love this event, but the bugs are incredibly annoying.

Commento di Thottbot

>.< just fought shartuul and it stuck me in shadow form. when i tried to switch to fire form my shivan assassin instantly turned red, and it kept up the shadow form skills and said something about how a more powerful skill was currently active or something..

Commento di Thottbot

Best quest ever? i dont think so, my opinion dont even bother trying till blizzard can get something right for a change ( dont think this will be soon ) ive had glitch after glitch after glitch on this damn event, they always give me my darkrune back but is it worth the time, effort and chance of breaking your cpu cuz you got shartuul to 1% and then he despwans? big fat ass NO!

Commento di EnterHavoc

This appears to be broken in Classic TBC. There are no mobs near the teleporter, and using the item gives a "no valid target" error.

EDIT: As of 22/09 this has been fixed. Saw someone completing the event today

Commento di Strath

Still broken, demon gets stuck at 1hp.
