Objectives

Bring Smotts' Chest to Hecklebury Smotts in Booty Bay.

Description

I used to sail a ship from here all the way to Ratchet, in Kalimdor. I was a successful captain with a sterling reputation.

Until...

Those cursed sea giants ruined me! They smashed my ship, killed my crew, and set me on a lifeboat to Booty Bay. And one of the giants, Gorlash, stole my Captain's Chest. He said he wanted it for a snuffbox. The nerve!

I hear Gorlash wanders the coast east of here. Find him and get back my chest! Do that, and you'll have earned a captain's gratitude.

Progress

Ahoy, <name>! Did you find Gorlash? That chest was my favorite, and it has a hidden compartment that held my greatest treasures!

Completion

You found it! Oh happy day, this is! Thank you, <name>. Getting back my chest cools some of the fire in me.

But my revenge isn't complete...

Rewards

I tried to solo this as a 42 rogue, not a good idea. I got him down to about 40% health and he got out of stunlock. Tried again at 45 and didn't have a problem. He hits for some massive damage on me with only having leather armor.

I was rather fortunate to get him as a 42 Elite. Soloed as a 48 Proc Warrior (Dual Wielding, Battle Stance). Figure if it's higher level then to modify this strategy accordingly.

First, make sure you have a decent health potion, or be prepared to use Last Stand in case your HP gets too low (didn't have this problem, but 1500 more HP on the MOB would definitely require it). You can always throw up an Intimidating Shout and use a Heavy Runecloth if need be.

Strategy was simple. Charged, Bloodrage, Demoralizing Shout, Sunder, Retaliation, then spam Heroic Strike and Sunder. Remember to keep sunder up (I had 5 on him before he had 50% health). When execute comes up, use it. It's wonderous to see that much HP disappear at one time. ^.^

Was relatively easy. Will try again if he pops as a level 47.

its hard but doable, just use aspect of the cheeatha, serpent sting and immoation traps, run up and down the beach and if u have 2 turn use freeze trap, if it resist use conc sh*t, and if he resist the last change is run 2 him and try wingclip, then run past and kite him again, btw pets growl off and get some agrro first before u send ur pet.get some mana pots to make it easier.

Group of 3, myself (50 marks hunter), 43 Holy Pally, and 41 Lock. Really easy. When I joined the group, I was expecting more of a fight from Gorlash (I figured that he's a named Elite, so it might be a challenge.) Nope. Found him at 34,74, marked him, set a frost trap and had my pet tank him. He took a while to go down, but he only took down about 1/3 of my pet's health. Could have solo'ed easily, IMO.

My 45 Druid walked up the beach with a 40 Paladin in tow, threw Roots, Moonfire, and Wrathed till he broke roots. Shifted to Dire bear and hit him till dead. Paladin healed about 5 or 6 times so this is not a solo if you're a 45 Druid!

My first attempt I was solo lvl 48:

I sent in Voidy, set up my DoTs, should have used CoW instead of CoA. My poor Voidy was hit hard in the opening rounds. Didn't have much time to Health Funnel Voidy. Then my only SB aggro the beastie with barely a smidgeon of hp left on Voidy...had to sac Voidy...I ran like Forest Gump with the beastie pounding away at me with his feet...ha ha no effect with VW sacrifice...after a short run the beastie disengaged pursuit.

I waited abt 5 mins and by that time two Alliance members had gathered with me, I belive they were a druid and a pally. Anyway, this time I was determined to drop the beastie. I went in with CoW this time, then the two Alliance members swooped in with full force...we tore that giant apart with me finishing the beastie with a Soul Fire. Great Finish!!!

Needless to say I could not have done it w/o the help of the Alliance Members, especially since I am part of the Horde.

I solo'd this quest EASILY as a 45 priest.

Start with mind blast, devouring plague, and shadow word pain. Mind flay until he gets to you, then fear and run the other way. Reapply shadow word pain when it runs out, and just keep running. When he catches up to you again, fear AGAIN and shadow word pain. It might take a while, but I killed him without even taking a hit.

If Allakhazam is to be believed, he is a 42 to 47 giant. If you are lucky enough to get the 42, I'd think he is pretty easy. 47 would be a different story. Most times, luck beat skill :)

Congrats there, you must either be a very skilled or a very lucky guy.

I didn't stand a chance at level 47 (shadow priest) against this 47+ critter (around 8K health - i.e. at least 5 or 6 SW:P + Fear cycles are needed).

At least in my case Fear has a cooldown of 30 secs and he came back running to me after about 5 secs. This guy dishes out > 250 dps -- no way to survive another 25 seconds.

I'll get back to him, but next time I'll bring help...
