if you know the layout of the main castle for alliance (like theramore barracks) its similar . . .


I had to up one level, around to the main "dining hall" section.


Watch out for the miser, he's lvl 39 elite. And he spawns fast too. He's a caster and does the meteor shower (just run out of the radius). He hits hard for a caster, plus when he gets low on HP he goes beserk and dps's like a rogue.


I killed him on the way in, and took down Mug'Thol and when I was leaving, I ran into miser AGAIN on the first floor, and had to kill him again. 2 warmongers had respawned also.

Mug' Thol is around lvl 40 (i've seen him 39 an 40), pretty straight forward ogre. His main issue is when he bloodlusts, and beserks, cuz then his damage piles up real fast. The other issue is the adds . ..


on adds:

Did this a few times, once solo, and nother times to help guildies. Some ppl say its cake; it depends on his adds. Mug comes with 2 adds (sometimes 4 since warmongers can spawn on the opposite ends of the upper floor main dining hall area and if you're lazy).

You can pull the two adds and only get the two adds, but only if they walk around / do their mini patrol. One time (at ogre camp) the adds just stood there stupidly next to Mug, and so pulling them ment he came along.


notes:

running the gauntlet: unless you're lvl 50+ or twinked out, don't try to ride through the ogres to the castle . . . they'll star you and you go slow . ..

for some reason the game boosts mobs if they are 3 or more, and they pull cool moves out of their 455, because when I fought the ogres 1 v 1 they never interrupted / stunned me (20+ times). But when I had 6 of them, they kept interrupting and stunning, and my pally turned into a poor man's warrior and couldn't even get the flash heal off and died. Yes I was stupid and forgot about bubble . . .

Good thing the graveyard is outside alterac ruins and I jumped off the mtn through the crack in the wall and ran to my corpse.

Solo'd it as a lvl38 rogue. Cleared the adds, snuck behind and garroted him, used evasion and then fought till he went down.

WTF??!!! I've killed him twice and he's only dropping gold!!!

Coords 36,54 - he is on the first floor. Soloed him as a lvl42 rogue - it wasnt easy, but did it in the first try though. and yes u can pull him, whitout pulling his guards.

Quest details have been updated. Please let us know if this is incorrect.

I dont see what the big deal is. I went alone with void had no trouble getting to him eve took the elite oger out on multipule occasions. The only part that was mildly concerning was my DoTs had to be cast several time to get them to stick. This is one of the easiest quests ive done.

solo'd as a lvl 39 hunter.. had no issues at all except for pesky allies

350 rep Undercity
6300xp @ lvl44

Found it much easier than Fenris Keep which is in the same style building with all the rot hides. Was only two extras in the last room and they pulled seperately from the "boss" (but together). Met the one and only elite on the way back down, Grel'borg the Miser.

coors 35.54

Lvl 40 rogue, just use vanish and stealth to get up to the boss. Find a corner get ready stealth up behind the boss and unload with everything you have. It can be done.

Solo'd this with a 46 Rogue. Stealthed inside to the far corner of the room, used Superior Defense potions, +25 Agility and +25 Strength potion and poisoned weapons. Started fight with Ambush then Evasion, Two Sinister Strikes, Gouge, Backstab and then Eviscerate. I hit Prepardness, Evasion again and repeated the above. I finally used Bloodlust and another talent that enhances melee and 15% dodge rate. I had to use a superior healing potion once during the battle. Scored 1080XP for the battle, snatched the loot and stealthed out.

I tried it at level 44 and got rocked...probably due to not thinking out a strategy.

Peace,

Cyre

final turn in is to the spectre-chick next to uncle Varry

I did this one kind of late, but I was able to easily solo it as a 46 Warrior.

Good job. This is not an easy solo.

To get to this guy, go in the front of the ruins, turn left, and clear your way to the castle at the end. There are patrols that go near the castle gate, so clear them. You don't want adds.

The castle is packed with level 39 and 40 elite ogres. Some of them are double pulls. The corridors are tight, but there is often just enough room for a hunter to use ranged combat.

Mug'thol is on the third floor. First, go up the stairs, then go up the ramp. If you go up the second set of stairs, you'll be on the roof. There are some nice single pulls to grind for greens and exp up there, but not the quest mob.

There's a double pull right at the top of the ramp and around the corner, so be ready.

Mug'thol himself won't have any help if you clear carefully. He's level 43 and he hits hard, but otherwise is a pretty straightforward kill. Just have some healing ready. I let my pet tank and used mend pet while some casters fried him.

There's a chest in the room with him. Respawns are fast enough that you'll probably prefer to hearthstone out. Set your home to Tarren Mill if you want to turn in the quest right away. Final turnin is at Undercity.

I just did it with my lvl 43 rogue. Solo.
