Had no problem as lvl 30 tauren druid. Used cat form and wiped out each guard with a tiger's fury/faerie fire/rake/rip/shred combo. Healed up and took out Ordanus the same way.

Done as L26 kitty druid easily. These tactics could be used for a rogue as well. A warrior would have a tougher time, but with hamstring shouldn't be much of a problem either.

Moonfired the first add that comes into view as you move in front of the doorway so that he would come first. I would assume he was close enough that it was a body pull, but the object here was to dot him to death.

Shifted into kitty cat and strafed down the circular walkway using my energy as it came and utilizing bleeds for kite damage. First add was dead before reaching the room below.

Then used line of sight to keep Ordanus casting but never completing any of his spells while killing the other add without kiting.

Probably could have shifted out and healed and killed Ordanus at this point, but instead I just ran out of range and let him reset. Went back to the top, prepared, and killed him without his two buddies.

As a warlock i set my pet on Ordanus and let him take all the agro. I shot shadow bolt at him bout 3 times and he went down. My advise for locks is to loot him as soon as u kill him coz his body guards turn on u and kill u if u aint careful. As soon as i looted him i sacraficed my voidwalker and ran :P. I did this q at bout lvl 28.

Killed him with a level 24 hunter. Just sent my pet in and dps'ed with the bow, killed him like any other mob, but i did it before i got the quest :/

I easily completed this quest with a level 30 Hunter.
Sent in pet, they all went on it.
Walked in, Aimed Shot on Ordanus', they come on me, Feign Death, Arcane Shot, Pet finishes him off, then we kill the rest of his bodyguards.

forgot to loot him the first time. went back and killed him and the guards no healing needed. lvl 26 druid

I was lucky to kill him (shaman)

at the entrance (top) they atacked me all 3. I start atacking ordanus and When I had 30% life left he run (with 10% life) and the guards with him. I run inside and i had like 5-7 sec to heal my self, beeing able to kill all 3 when they returned.

I can almost do this with my 25 mage by arcane explosion and frost nova by taking out four or five of the protectors. the only problem is after I do another one always runs up out of nowhere and I don't have any mana left.

Did this with 27 rogue. Stealthed in room, sapped 1 guard , stealth faded cuz he resisted pickpocket :D , went outside killed those guards ( ordanus was still atacking), then killed ordanus and still 50 hp left :D without pots

My Mage just soloed this at level 29. She fought her way up, carefully, through all those nasty little Druids in bear form. Once she got to the top, she stood so that she could see Ordanus. Once settled in position, she polymorphed him and then waited for the Vindicators to come over (and away from their besheeped friend), then used Mana Shield and Arcane Explosion until they died, died, died. Just after they died, she did Evocation to regain Mana; the bar filled back up just as Ordanus returned to his normal self and came for her. He was quite easy to put down without the Vindicators to help him out, and as a bonus, my Magineer didn't see a single treant the whole time.

Getting back to the road was as simple as turning 'round towards it and using Slow Fall to float gently to the ground (and away from any Laughing four-hoofed nasties).

Got the quest as 29th level rogue, and since I was already buffed from hunting I decided to get it done then and there. Here's how I finished it in a matter of a couple minutes.

Already buffed with the following scrolls from previous hunting.
-Stamina II
-Protection II
-Agility II
-Strength II
-Both blades poisoned with Instant Poison.

Stealthed in, killed the three bear form druids quickly. Headed upstairs.

Stealthed before Ordanus's room, headed to the right inside, sapped the guard, ran up to Ordanus, Sinistered him, kicked him to interrupt his spell casting, Sinistered again till I had all 5 points, Eviscerate, killed him.

Looted his corpse, ran out, clicked Vanish. Out safetly and never lost more than 200 hit points.

Solo`d it at level 28 [blood elf warlock]. Killed the sisters that sourrounds the area, killed the 2 protectors at the entrance, then go up one level 5 or 6 were over me, I `buffed`[curse of agony and corruption, I have corruption instant cast] them all and shoot with shadowbolt and then with wand, 1-2 Rain of Fire, Sacrificed my voidwalker and killed them all. Eat/drink. Summoned another voidwalker, went upstairs, fear on one of the protectors, buff Ordanus, voidwalker on Ordanus, shadowbolt, drain life => dead. Quick loot, Sacrificed the voidwalker and run away.

Cost: 2 soul shards.

Also soloed with a 26 BE rogue. Had Instant Poison on sword and dagger. Stealthed past everybody to Ordie himself. He saw me. Wailed on him with Sinister strike/Evis and also used evasion. Killed him and Vanished. Waited to half health (should have waited more as you will see). Looted and jumped off ledge. Falling damage almost killed me. Aggroed a sister. Died but quest complete.

Hunter level 27, solo'd it, though it took me four tries. This probably isn't the most time economical way to do it, but it worked for me:

went around the back of the house, on the hills, and picked off two guards on the front porch, then got up on the porch, and killed the two or three guards inside one by one by targetting them, shooting at them and backing up. As soon as they were on the porch, sent my pet after them, and killed them.

Headed up the spiral ramp, targeted one guard and sent my pet after it; once the pet attacked, it summoned the other of course. Once both were attacking my pet, I went and stood by the little dragons, and took my shots, killing those two. I will say this however; there's another spiral walkway going up to where Ordanus is, and if you're unlucky as I was the first time I attempted this, the guard that walks that walkway will be attracted as well - this proved to be too much, and I died. However, this wasn't an issue the next three times.

After killing the two guards at the top of the first spiral walkway, headed out to the second, and killed the guard there. I recommend going up that walkway with a lot of strafing so you see him before he sees you.

At the top of the walkway, stand just a little past where the walkway goes level, so you can tab target Ordanus inside and send your pet after him. This was the most delicate part for me; the first two times, his two personal guards saw me and annihilated me. Once your pet attacking Ordanus, though, his two guards will go after your pet... then just focus all your attacks on Ordanus. Kill him, run in, grab his head, and run out. Jump down off the ledge, and go splat, and that's the end. Just... make sure you grab the head.

Only just did it at as level 28 hunter. Used hunters mark on Ordanus and sent in pet and just shot him till he was dead. Pet kept agro of the guards and i ran in and looted the head. Then i jumped out over the railing and ran off. Had to sacrifice the pet but atleast i did the quest.

this quest was that diffcult as people says, i am a lvl 29 tauran shaman and i soloed him quite of easy.. but i died when i ran out.. across the plains..

First, i only aimed ordanus and killed him with lighting bolt and 3 earth shocks.. he was pretty easy to kill...but running out is hard when the tress are spawn

But overall.. it was easy.

Tauran lvl 29 Elemental shaman

Can confirm the co-ordinates 61,51.

Getting to ordanus is a piece of cake, solo'd lvl 32 hunter. Killing the trees that spawn is difficult even with pet taking all agro and myself firing from range.
Kill Ordanus, loot him fast and run.
Keep running to get far enough from ur pet to call him back alive instead of the poor soul dying for you :P
Loot fast before your pet dies otherwise if you were unlucky enough to have aspect of the cheetah enabled your too stunned by time they come to you and running isn't possiable. <-- Died that way x_x

Quest isn't hard but be prepared to die after looting. Frost trap may help during running away. For none hunters or those without pets to take agro o_o.. neh neh enjoy >:P

soloed as 27 lock.used voidwalker skipped past to entrance pulled druid-kinda mobs 2 or 3 at once when i got to room sent the void in so he aggroed all nuke ordanus with everything u can when void was about to die sacrifice/loot and run :D

Have they changed this quest? I get near the tower and get rushed by a pair of level ?? Ashenvale Sentinels outside the entrance, and usually die in seconds. I'm a 26 Orc Hunter.

hehe, a real suicide quest. solo'd as a 28 hunter killed ordanus, loted with allot of mobs smashing me, jump out of the tower and died of the fall!

I just ran this as a lvl 27 Troll Mage grouped with a lvl 30 Tauren Hunter. We had a really easy time of it; we didn't have to do it 'right', we just put out enough DPS to take 'em all down quickly. But if you're going it alone, like everyone else says, for the love of god go buff up and keep some pots on hand and when you go after Ordanus go after only Ordanus, kill him dead (he's only a lvl29 and he's not elite so he shouldn't be too hard to take down), loot his head and run.

As for the person who mentioned PvP flagged lvl 40s? There *is* a tower like that in Raynewood, it's just not the one that Ordanus is at (my friend and I wiped hardcore to them). I forget the coords of the PvP-40s tower but the coords mentioned below of (63,50) are the correct ones for the tower w/ Ordanus. If you bring your map up, you'll actually see it marked on there.

well i Mind Controlled Ord as a lv 30 Priest, the guards owned him bad with all their trees (i didnt fight back) then i went in, feared most of them, ran to ords body, figured i couldnt loot him since i idnt kill him, all adds came back, i died

next try:

i was supposed t try, but a NE 34 Druid came after me for about 20min, i feared him, healed, dispeled, hided, was a fun game, then i said it in general chat and a lv 56 lock killed him, never seen the NE after that =P

Next try part2:

this time i teamed with a lv 32 Priest anda 30 Wqarrior, raped them all

kindo hard quest to solo imo, since each guard spawns like 3 trees, need to do some fancy hit and run tacttics or a melee class with potions or something

This is actually pretty easy! The area to get to is Raynewood Retreat its at co-ords (63,50) on the road to Fellwood out of Ashenvale.

Once there proceed to the bottom of the tree watching out for the laughing sisters (level 25 half deer half NE female) the entrance and first floor is guarded by 6 level 25-26 Cenarion protectors (looks like a druid in bear form) fortunately they are spaced out and you can pull them singly! Once done proceed to the second floor which is guarded by 3 protectors who will fall on you all at once! Watch your AOE here as there is a neutral Blink Dragon (little dragon fly thing you see people with as pets occasionally) on the second floor that you don't want added to your fight unnecessarily! Once the 3 are dealt with proceed out on to the ramp and up towards the room at the top killing the final protector patrolling the ramp on the way up.

The final room is pretty basic 3 mobs 2 level 26-27 vindicators (looks like half reindeer half NE male) and the boss a guy called Ordanus. Buff before you go in! Once in completely ignore the vindicators and give Ordanus everything you got he should go down easy as he's not an elite. Loot his head of the corpse and then turn round run out the door, jump off of the ramp and do a peter pan right down to the ground level and keep running! The vindicators summon 5 or 6 extra tree mobs to whoop you good as soon as Ordanus dies but the idea with the peter pan jump to freedom is that by the time they get down stairs your long gone the quest is done and you are very much still alive!
