if you are at the right level.. you should be able to solo this.. i did as a 46 mage. Whatever class u are.. disable 1, take out boss, take out the active one, then take out the one u disabled.. if u aren't a class that is that converse... grab a pot or two

Just Solo'd him as a 42 shadow priest, I cleared all mobs around him except one that was too close, then I pulled the close one, killed it and then the boss killed me, then I could rez next to him and kill him without any adds. One mana pot did the job

Commento di 1122_

If you are careful and pull from the side, you can grab him and just one of his guards. I was able to sheep the guard closest to me, and only Shalzaru was pulled. Be careful though - the mobs around him spawn ridiculously fast. Just drinking my water to replenish mana sometimes brought new spawns down on me.

Commento di Dissonance

Solo'd as a 45 Enhancement Shaman.

Aggro'd the far left mob (A caster for me), which I made quick work of.

I then pulled his other helper, a warrior, easily taking him out without taking almost any damage at all (lol windfury luck) and then proceeded to take out Lord Shalzaru. I casted my Racial Passive (Gift of the Naaru) and ended the battled with 95% health.

Easy. Getting back out was fairly time-consuming though, the mobs do respawn entirely too fast.

Commento di NeonGenesis

lvl45 hunter with lvl44 pet: All mobs were pulled without "social" agro.
Also the guards and the Shalzaru shouldn't socially agro if you pull them at the right moment (when the guard and Shalzaru have the most distance between eachother) regardless of what level you are when doing it.

In the water next to the Shalzaru there's an underwater cave, but the only thing I found there were 4 mobs and a mine (Mithril).
If you decide to venture into there, then be aware that by the time you come out, all mobs from the beginning of the cave up until the water have respawned. As said above: The respawnrate is quite fast.

Commento di Thottbot

i'm a lvl 43 paladin so i'm a sponge for damage, and i managed to solo this using a few tricks. I died the first time trying to get through the cave i ended up getting slaughtered by 3 sourcerers. While dead I explored the rest of the cave and found that there is a big underwater tunnel east of the island where the naga lord is. I decided to rez and run for the tunnel and dive in; I ended up pulling a whole lot of naga when I ressed but I used the paladins magic sheilds which in total gave me 20 seconds to peg it to the underwater tunnel, thus getting me far enough from the mobs so they ran back to their spawn points.

It's advisable to clear the area around the island before you try and pull the naga guards, and to watch out because the respawn rate is pretty quick. It's possible to pull the guards on the island without pulling the naga lord, i just used the age old sneak as close as i could. The only problem was that they were bother sorceresses so if you can find a handy piece of scenery to put yourself behind they have no line-of-sight and cannot cast on you, therefore that will pull them to you and away from the island. nice exp, a total of about 6800exp (once you deliver the artifact ot the quest givers wife) plus a piece of plate or mail armor.

Commento di Thottbot

Not a difficult quest, solo'ed as a lvl44 'lock (+ Voidwalker)

Respawn is insane, I took to killing two at a time just so they would all go down faster. Killed all the ones around Shalzaru, then took down one of his bodyguards.

He and the mage with him didnt even hurt me, they were too busy picking on the void.

-------

Afterwards, there is an underwater tunnel that goes down to another underground area. I went down there to see, all thats there are more nagas and No way out... by the time I came back up outta that place Shalzaru and everything else in the dungeon were back up.

Hearthed out...

The hole he's in is at 26,67.

Commento di Thottbot

Stealthed in past all the nagas, got into a corner, summoned my Gnomish Battle Chicken and let it agro the guards, went in and took Lord Shalzaru myself, vanished when i got him. Only used one potion

Commento di Thottbot

Soloed this last night as a lvl 44 Dwarf Hunter. I never died but came close due to the respawn rate inside the cave, which is insanely quick like others have noted.

The naga outside and immediately inside the cave are spaced enough for solo pulls, but the respawn rate means you gotta keep moving quick. Keep moving to the right inside the cave and you will come to the inner pool of water where Shalzaru resides with two others.

After clearing out the naga in the inner cave (man, they respawn FAST HERE!), I found a safe spot in the water, and sent my pet in after Shalzaru and hit him with most of my powerful shots. He went down quick, but so did my pet from the other naga. Feigned death to get the aggro off me, then rezzed to kill the remaining naga and retrieve whatever was needed from his corpse. Slowly made my way back out, killing off the naga yet again. Could have hearthed out but decided I needed the easy extra xp.

Decent xp and rewards when all is said and done. Plus, for those trying to safely solo without encountering Horde, I did this in about 20 minutes around 11pm EST and didn't encounter one other player, Alliance or Horde.

Commento di Thottbot

As a rogue, this quest was like taking candy from a baby.

I went alone with my lvl 44 combat rogue and only had to engage one naga...the lord.

This cave is a perfect enviroment for DISTRACT. I walked in under stealth. A few places where I feared I would be detected I just distracted them and walked right past the tight groups. Walked all the way through to the Lord (lvl 47) with his 2 guard nagas very close to him. Again, simply using distract i spun them all away from me and engaged the Lord iwth a ranged attack. he walked right over to me while all the guards starred away at my distract. Killed him and grabbed the loot..stealthed out with 2 more distracts.

This quest is extremely easy for a rogue. Hope this helps someone.

Comments in which the poster only writes about how easy it was to kill the NPC are NOT helpful. They are boring, self aggrandizing, and a little sad.

It is helpful to post coords or detailed directions to the location for people without Cosmos. It is also helpful to explain what you encountered, but it doesn't help anyone to read over and over again about 'how easy' it was for everyone! Stop bragging and post something useful!

Commento di Thottbot

The cave is at 27,67 or south of Ruins of Solarsal. There are plenty of nagas, but they are spread out, outside of the cave. Inside is a different story.

Most of the nagas you encounter are lvl 43-45. Be careful of the aggro because these nagas run, they will attract other nagas. To get to Shalzaru, from the entrance, go straight until you see a water. Hes on the other side. (Make sure to clear out as much of the nagas as possible). As for the boss, he wasn't to hard. Shalzaru was orange to me, I was level 44 atm, hes 47. Pulled the guard next to him, and then he came after. Quickly got rid of his guard and then went on to him. His regular damage for me is 50-55 dmg, considering that I have 3.3k defense. He casts frost nova every 4-5 seconds which can deal about 200 damage. Dealing with two of them, brought me to about 1/2 life. I didn't have to bubble or heal. The real hard part is getting out :P cuz the nagas spawn so damn fast. Oh well, heres my chance to bubble =D.

Commento di Thottbot

42 Lock (destro spec)- Solo'd using Voidwalker per suggestions above. Cleared mobs around Shalzaru and pulled one of his adds without pulling him. Sent void on Shalzaru while I dispatched final add. Void didn't last much longer so I sacrificed after dropping first set of dots (about 30% resist), then continued dots / fear (luckily he didn't pull any more mobs). Bandaged during fears, with 1 health pot and healthstone so I could lifetap. At about 1/10th health he starts to wander off - of course at that time a naga repops. I feared the repop, finished off shalzaru, and down to nil health and nil mana - refeared the repop and hearthed during the fear.

Thanks for above posts - saved me from several deaths learning the hard way.

Commento di Thottbot

The boss is at 28,70 in Feralas, inside a cave. You have to fight through caster/warrior type NPC's that are lvls 43 and 44. The boss is lvl 47. He had one add, which was the warrior type. There was a caster close to the boss, but i went off to the side and aggroed him without aggroing the boss. If you need to, just kill boss, loot it and rez later.

Commento di Thottbot

Im a 45 warrior. First i tried to clear everything but the respawn rate is way to faste. so i equipped my shield (aegis of scarlet commander) went defensive stance. intiated bloodrage (builds up rage) and used shield wall i ran as much as i could then u used intimidating shout with the rage from bloodrage dived into pool and swam and eventually they went back 2 there spawns. i found this is easiet way for warriors. it also helps to have Insignia of Alliance for when they frost bolt you in water. Then i came back out cleared around him and killed him.

Commento di Thottbot

I am a 45 hunter and I did this; but one thing you should remember (yes, he is straight in, don't make any turns) then you'll see a room with water. There are a lot of adds in there. You can take out the one to the R and then to the far right.
Then go around the primiter of the room. You'll have to get in the water, but if you do this, you don't have to deal with any of the other in front of him.
(one or two in the water) then you'll see him on a mound of dirt.
There is a caster on his far right and a guard of some sort right next to him.
I don't think there is anyway to avoid the guard, so go right for the lord. The caster did nothing. Once the lord is dead you can loot even if the other is not.
Make sure you bind at the inn there. I don't think I would have wanted to go out on my own.
When you first get in the cave it seems like there is no way; there are mobs every 6 feet. But I pulled them to me rather than send pet, and none aggro'd.
So, take it slow.

Commento di Thottbot

For all those having problems controlling all the three mobs at once, IT IS possible to kill the left one without pulling aggro of Shalzaru and the other guard.
Being a level 42 hunter, 5 levels below the target, I managed to kill him by sending in pet on Shalzaru, activating Rapid Fire, shooting Arcane shots whenever possible. Also use multishot to hit both the mobs when the health of your pet is going low. This will give you aggro from the other guard ( Pet can continue tanking without dieing ) while you can take a potion if necessary.

Commento di Thottbot

I (lvl 46 druid) read all the comments, and figured I should be able to solo this. I went kitty and stealthed into the grotto and up behind Shalzaru (yes there are an intimidating number of naga on the way in adn surrounding the big guy)... My plan was to pounce on him from behind and just take him out as fast as I could, letting the 2 guards beat on me... yeah... not so successful... it miiiiight have worked if I hadn't experienced some ill-timed lag (once it cleared I was already dead pft!).

At any rate, the reason for this post is that there is a small area where you can rez inside and not agro any of the mobs (at least at 46)... directly behind and to the south of Shalzaru in the "corner" of the box-ey type area he has his back to.

I rez'ed, healed up, ate some buff food and stealthed around to the north side to try to take out the guard on "the left" as noted on previous posts... this is the northernmost guard, on "his" right. This is true, you can just pull this guard w/o agro-ing the big guy. I killed the 2 naga closest to the trio in question on the northern most wall before I tried the guard pull so that I had some room to move back a little to try to control the death-run-agro radius of the guard...

Went back to my "original" plan, pounced on Shalzaru from behind, managed to get a 5 combo-point Rip on him, went human, did a regrow and Moonfire'd the last of the life out of him... He did agro one sorceress as he did his death-agro-run... but I managed to loot him before I died...
Rezed in the aforementioned corner and then stealthed out to safety.

Oh, and while I was dead I searched and searched for the fabled "secret tunnel"... to no avail... if someone who has seen it could post the coordinates of the entrance that would be cool... but I "swam" around every nook and cranny of that pool around Shalzaru and didn't see any tunnel...

Commento di Thottbot

I understand that if I can wait with looting killed mobs they will respawn at a slower rate.

Commento di Thottbot

I soloed this as a lvl 44 Bal/Resto Druid and had mixed results. Going into the cave was pretty simple, sneaking/DPSing as a cat and healing/pulling as a caster, but then I got to the pool. I decided to try to DPS Shalzaru and take the beating that his adds would give, but that ended up being a mistake and I died. The Sorceress and Shalzaru were both hitting me with 250/pop frost spells. My health bar was gone before I knew it :-(

So, I res'd in the nook behind the trio and got my health and buffs back up and then tried something different. I cleared out some of the surrounding naga to prevent problems with running and then hid behind the column of stone next to the island that Shalzaru is on (it is on the right as you are looking at Shalzaru from the cave entrance). I made sure that I was out of sight from his protectors, and hit him with a Fairie Fire. No damage, but enought to get his attention but (most importantly) not his adds' attention. This ended up pulling only him. I was able to take care of him with little problem 1 on 1 and was done.

Anway, it seemed like a neat trick, so I thought I would share.

This was a great series and got me from mid lvl 44 to just cresting lvl 45 when I handed the last part of the quest in. I can't use the gear rewards, but that is OK.

Commento di Thottbot

i stealthed all the way in until i got to boss then i sapped his bodyguard and pull the boss away from other bodyguard.

i proceeded to kill him and had to use a health pot to stay alive then his bodyguard came out of sap and so i had to use my evasion to stay alive long enough to kill boss and collect item then i used my vanish and that was it..

i'm a lv 43 rogue fyi..

Commento di Thottbot

I was able to pull both guards, one at a time, off the little "island" that Lord Shalzaru is on.

You have to be a little hasty because of respawns. I also cleared one side of the pool to be able to run back and draw the caster (one of the guards) to me.

Lvl 42 Rogue.

Commento di Thottbot

Don't have Cosmos? Read this.

The Lord Shalzaru is on Isle of Dread, the second island that is located directly south of Feathermoon Stronghold. Simply swim from the Ruins of Solarsal to the island. Continue on a trail until you find a cave entrance. Watch out as many naga are lurking around. If you walk straight into the entrance and don't turn at all, you will soon find two pillars. Walk between these. You should onw be in a room with a pool of water. He is located at the left-most part of this pool. He has 2 guards close to him and several further away. I think he is blue in color rather than the green like other naga. He is level 47 and is simple to beat if you take out his 2 close guards. You may want to set your hearthstone to the stronghold to avoid running through naga afterward. I hope this helps.

lvl 45 warlock.Used VW and wand and killed my way yeasy and quitely inn,the same out.Good xp and quickly done.

Commento di Thottbot

Did this as a 42 rogue... pretty hard. Sure you can sap one of his adds and pull him away from the other one, but he's 47 and red to a level 42, and his add will come unsapped before he's done being killed.

The trick is to blind the add soon as it comes unsapped, or you'll be in a world of hurt.

Commento di Thottbot

I solo'd this as a lvl46 hunter, enter the cave, pick of the naga's from range, when you find Lord Shalzaru pick off the guards one by one then he is an easy kill... I sent my pet and just range attacked him....

Ok this is how I dealt with this quest as a level 43 holy/disc priest.

I can see this quest being MUCH harder for melee classes. Wait a few more levels.

Clear the way through the cave on the Isle of Dread (south of the island in which you pick up the quest) by trying to pull only one mob at a time, make sure you nuke them with a smite/mind blast before they get chance to run.

Keep going straight until you reach an area with a pool, this is where Shalzaru is located. Clear all the mobs around the area leaving only Shalzaru, the warrior and caster.

Now, here's the tricky bit. Keep to the left and pull the warrior, he shouldn't aggro the other two and deal with him.

The best way I found to deal with Shalzaru himself at my level was to mind control the caster, cast blizzard, attack and as soon as it has cooled down, cast blizzard again. By doing this, Shalzaru was down to 50% health by the time he killed the MC'd mob.

Bubble, and nuke him, when he died, I had only lost 6% HP.

Hope this helps any priest trying to do this quest.

Soloed with a lvl 47 druid and snuck in and out without a problem. Aggroed all three at once in bear form and didn't even need to heal during battle :)

Commento di Thottbot

So, I was freaking out about this quest at first doing it solo... but it just takes a lot of patients.
Once you find the area on the isle of dread, just kill one at a time. When you get to the Sorc naga's, hit with a frost ball, then put up frost absorb thing and I never lost any health.
With the melee warrior guys, I just kept throwing frostball things at them, then once they got close, I would nova them. It took about 15 - 20 minutes to get down to Lord Shalzaru. I went on the right side and killed the sorc's and pulled his body guard, without pulling aggro on Shalzaru. He wasn't an elite monster, so it was pretty easy, just time consuming. Ended up with 2 golden pearls plus a lot of exp.
Good luck!

Commento di Thottbot

I'm a 49 draenei hunter ,beast mastery specc'd. I waited til this was green and my quest log had nothing but dungeon or group quests otherwise I suspect it would have been a bit harder to have done in my early 40s.

the easiest way for me to get there was I just jumped ship after riding up into Feralas and taking the boat to Feathermoon. Swimming once you get there is pretty easy as well.

I sent my pet after each naga, most of them were sorceresses or special guard, so I hit each one with viper sting to start sucking off their mana. once you get to the mouth of the cave, simply go in straight til you hit Shalzaru's little pimp den. you can kill off on either right or left, clearing out a bit of space then go on in and take him. if you have a pet or another person , it can go pretty fast, they didn't respawn til i was halfway out of the cave, but figured i'd rather try and kill my way out than fly back in from SW if I hearthed.

coords for the cave listed above all worked for me as well.

Good luck and hope my post helps anyone who reads this after me :)

Commento di Thottbot

Had no real problems as a 43 Paladin, though I died a couple of times due to bad luck. Because of the speed at which the Nagas respawn, it's best to go in with auras and blessings that give you healing, and don't burn up a lot of mana. Be ready to stun them when they start to run away to avoid adds (the source of my deaths). If you have grenades, then throwing one when they get down to 25%, followed by a stun, works every time.

When you get to the big cave, see where the spellcasting Shalzaru add is (left or right, it was left for me), then hug the wall heading that way and taking out the defenders. Take out one in the side tunnel to give yourself some room, then carefully aggro the spellcaster and run around the corner to deny her line of sight, she will then head towards you and away from Shalzaru (you can't seem to hide behind the rock pillar, I died here because I didn't do this, and while Shal didn't aggro when I was fighting her, she managed to run one step and Shal was on me). Take her out, then go after Shalzaru and his add; you kill the add first so you don't take double-pounding for as long, then Shalzaru (if you die after taking out the add, just run back, res, and kill him before the respawn). Once you've taken care of the add, it's easy.

Commento di Thottbot

Solo'ed as a 42 shadow priest!
Did not die!

I pulled the Lord with a Mind Soothe (figured he would resist it because of the lvl)!

He was pulled, and no agro from the other mobs!

Commento di Thottbot

Did this with my lvl 42 disc/holy priest and didn't find it easy at all. The way to the boss went smoothless. Just pulled one at the time and went to the dead mob's position. If I ever run out of mana, I shielded and wanded the mob to dead to keep the pace up. No problems with respawn rate at all.

Boss however is a completely other story. I forgot I could pull the boss without aggroing his adds (did this q once with a shadow priest), so I tried to take out one of the adds first, resulting in pulling the boss. The first time I died with him having less of his life, second time I got him after a minutes long fight. I needed to use my cd-abilities (symbol of hope, gift of naruu and inner focus) to kill him. The fight took so long, because I realised he resisted a lot of my spells, costing too much mana. So I kept wanding him to sava mana. Shielded and healed when I ran out of life. I got him the second time, because I decided to replenish my inner fire, when it ran out.

I'm very curious how the 'low-lvl' holy/disc priests managed to pull it off so easily as they comment here. I have some experience with playing a priest (have a lvl 70 shadow priest) and can easily say this was the hardest fight I had on this char. So please share your wisedom, instead of bragging how easy you had it.

A 43 hunter and I tried to do this quest several times together. Killed Lord probably 5 times while grouped. No relic dropped off him whatsoever. We then disbanded the group, and each solo'd him. He dropped it on the first kill each time. I'm assuming that you can't do this quest while grouped...

Commento di Allakhazam

Solo'd this as a lvl 42 rogue. Stealthed in, pulled his guard from the water, and then pulled him without getting the other guard. Easy.

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed as a 43 mage. Have to stay on your toes with Frost Ward. Before attacking any casters or Shalzaru be sure to be protected with Frost Ward. Picked off a guard on his left, then sheeped the caster on his right and pounded on him. Sure it would have been much easier with a group at my level, though.

Commento di Allakhazam

What do you need to complete this quest?

PATIENCE!

I was able to solo it as a 46 NE Druid but it took me some time.
The cave is actually fool of mobs (above all casters) but they are not that difficult to kill. The problem is that they spawn very quickly so you must be able to kill and move forward step by step and in order.
For those of you wondering where Lord Shalzaru is, he's not after the long tunnell underwater. I wasted a lot of time going there unsuccessfully.
Just enter the cave and make you way to the atrium (the big circular room) and you will find him in front of you sorrounded by two guardians.
You can't miss it since he's the only blue naga (the others are green).
One huardian could be pulled separately but you must be able to handle both Shalzaru (level 47) and his guardian (level 45) at the same time.
Actually it was quite easy, I just used one superior healing potion.

Commento di Allakhazam

Did as 47 or 48 rogue. Sneak in, sap one of the guards, blade flurry on the other two until dead. Then go back and kill the third. No poisons or potions, might have bandaged after the first two. They don't run or aggro any others.

Commento di Allakhazam

as a rogue i just stealthed in and sapped lord shalzuro, killed one of the guards, vanished, recovered health the sapped the other guard, killed shalzaro and took care of that caster easy by gouging,KSing or kicking when casting a spell.

Did nearly all this as 43 Hunter with 43 Cat. Found a hunter 42 already in cave after I killed my way down. 2 of us did it easily. Guy has some support round him so don't try under 42+ or bring your tonics. He is at very end of cave.

In addition to 2900 XP, I also got an increase in my reputation with Darnassus for completing this quest at level 43.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm amazed how easy this was, I stealthed into the cave and over to the far wall and pulled the nearest Hatecrest Warrior guarding Shalzaru (a lvl 44) then killed him off quickly; stunning him before he could run then Enviserate to finish him. The other guard I tried pulling from the other side but he Evaded my arrows and when I got closer both the warrior and Shalzaru pulled so I quickly used Vanish. Then I decided the best course of action was to Sap the Warrior and try to quickly kill off Shalzaru (Having Gauntlets of the Sea gave me an healing bonus during the fight) and I was able to bring the Lord down with some good Eviserate Crits but before he fell the guard broke Sap and joined in on the melee. I didn't break concentration from Lord Shalzaru even though my health was getting critical and when he fell I used Blind on the guard and bandaged my wounds with a Heavy Mageweave bandage before taking on the lvl45 guard and defeating him too. Looted and stealthed out (a healing pot instead of Gauntlets of the Sea would have worked better but I had none)

Solo'd as a level 40 hunter, died once due to not figuring out a solid plan of attack until respawns were starting... but oh well, dying is faster than walking out anyway :)

If you Lord and two Guards are on a little ledge across a bit of water, so it's usually not a problem to clear much of the room before you start with the fun part. I tried to split them up from the right, with no luck, then set up on the left and was able to get one of the guards alone... that was all I needed. It's likely that the second one is single pullable too: I failed twice, and then didn't bother any more for fear of respawns. And whaddya know, they came right on schedule as I was finishing off mister Naga lord.

Be patient but move fast, as the respawns are pretty quick in this place. Approach from the left. You should be able to manage.

Pulled the warrior and Shalzaru followed.

Easy quest, but when i returned the corridor had filled up again.

Commento di Allakhazam

For all those that don't have stealth (I'm lvl 43 Shaman). There is retarded amount of naga in this cave. I recommend putting on as much shielding and healing as you can and just run as far and fast as you can into the cave until you get to the water. You will more than likely die but just run back and do it again till you get to the back then pull the guards and the pull Shazaru and kill him. Repeat the same thing but out this time. You will take some durability hits for the deaths but you finish the quest and saves trying to kill about 50 naga that respawn as fast as you can get past them.

Commento di Allakhazam

The naga in the cave spawn like cockroaches, so by the time you get in and kill Lord Shalzaru (who is generally all the way in the far back of the cave), you'll probably have to carve your way back through a lot of naga again. I burned through more than 800 arrows on this quest, though the naga-fest was more annoying than difficult.

I thought I would post something on this quest because when lookin it up I found very little of what I needed.

I soloed this quest as a level 44 Rogue, and while many are mentioning "oh it was easy I just pulled (blah blah blah) ..." its still entirely possible to foobar this quest if you're not careful.

I will try to give some information that might be usefull to all classes:

1. All the Naga Casters, including Lord Shalzaru himself, use COLD magic. Therefore, if you're a non-caster class and don't have frost resistance, do yourself a favor and get a Frost Protection Potion. This is especially important if you (inevitably) happen to pull and add when going after Shazalru, rather than having to worry about the Sorcess hitting you for cold damage, the potion will absorb even the strongest critical hits from them, and as the caster will refuse to get close in to do any kind of melee strikes, you turn the caster support of Shalzaru into nothing more than a mere annoyance.

2. An interesting tidbit, in case you happen to go into the cave when others are there, is that the Naga respawns alternate between sorceress and warrior. Sorceress are generally lvl 44, the warriors are generally lvl 45. Shalzaru is lvl 47, but is *not* elite.

Because I was soloing and as a rogue-herbalist-alchemist, I prepared the following Complement of potions and poisons before going in:

- Superior Healing Potion (2) (one as a backp incase I need to vanish)

- Frost Protection Potion

- Strong troll Blood Potion (every little bit of health regen helps)

- Elixer of Greater Agility

If you can use it, I would also recommend using either Greater Defense or Superior Defense potion in addition to this complement, but I did not have the necessary regeants going in.

POISONS

I interestingly enough, I used:

Deadly Poison II (Both Daggers)

I did this thinking it would be more beneficial to stack the DOT on Shalzaru should the battle be a prolonged one. While it was indeed effective, in hindsight as a Rogue I probably should have used this complement:

Instant Poison III (Main Hand)
Crippling Poison (off-hand)

I also recommend this (should it suit you) as Shalzaru will attempt to run when almost dead (surprise), and in a room full of Naga that I stealthed through, I should have considered crowd-control over damage, as with my regen-potion active and healing potions at the ready (which I did not need to use) there was really no need to try and squeeze out a little more DPS through DOT damage.

=======================================
Avoiding the Adds as much as possible.

When I got into the room that the previous posts described, I did indeed find Shalzaru with his two guardians (one warrior, one caster), moving to the back of the room, the warrior was closest to me.

This combination was a little different than expected, as I was planning for double casters, so here was my gameplan:

- SAP the warrior, even if I inadvertantly pulled both Shalzaru and the caster, that was the original matchup I had intended, (hence the Frost Protection Potion) however, with double casters, this would have been a good gameplan anyway simply to minimize the time my attack speed was reduced.

(Casters, Warriors and the like may have a harder time only pulling one ADD instead of both of them, to which I can only give the suggestion to do what you can.)

Unless I got lucky with my improved SAP skill (which I didnt) I would come out of stealh. At that point aggroed Shalzaru who made no bones about trying to take the fight to me, so I backpeddled to the back of the room, as far away from the other Mobs as possible. There's no need for me attract the attention of anyone else.

Shalzaru, as mentioned in these posts, is very much a &*!@# for level 47. Warriors, Paladins and other more protected classes will have little hassle beating him down like the little $%^&* that he is, the only concern I would have would be for attracting the attention of too many adds.

As far as XP or Faction, that's already been covered.

I hope this helps (I know it will for Rogues, not sure about other classes)

That was fun! I'm lvl 46 hunter with 42 cat. Killed my way in, and got decent drops. When I got to the pond in the end, I cleared the room, and took Lord Shalzaru and one guard. No problem. The other guard was equally easy.

I've medver been a better place for grinding. I was 20k short of lvl47 when I entered, and could stand by one loot, and kill the next. I worked the room and the platform around to the left 3-4 times. Gave more than 1g in money drom + 1 green and a Reinforced Steel Lockbox (not opened yet). Took out Lord S three more times. He gave the box the last time.

Both I and my cat dinged there. Actually on the same kill, wich was rather fun. It took 8-900 arrow, but who cares :) and about a dozen Moonberry Juice and one Superior Healing Potion.

Wand usually hit 2 times before they died. very effective, used almost no mana that wasnt regen'd by Spirit tap.

didnt take a mana break till the end. :D

Commento di Allakhazam

This is easy but time consuming but maybe worth the reputation gain and the reward and also the nice xp:). The only problem was the bloody nagas running away in fear resulting in pulling of the other nagas around. But overcame it with Seal of Justice. Solo'd as a level 44 pala. I recommend you doing it witha friend or in a group with someone to reduce the time consumption.

I just soloed this as a 41 hunter but for me it wasnt easy. I had to die, rez as far into the cave as i could, die again, repeat (since I was having trouble keeping all the mobs killed fast enough so they didnt repop on me).

If you do it right, you can pull just Lord Shalzaru alone, just directly south of his platform there's a little alcove. Kill your way over to the alcove and when his bodyguards' backs are turned pull him back.

I let my pet tank him for a few seconds to build up some hate, then stacked the DoT and went to town. Was a very close fight, had to feign death and use a superior healing potion, but i got it done.

Commento di Allakhazam

guess im the lucky one that when doing the quest, they respawned as fast as i killed them... wtf?

Commento di Allakhazam

Died on the way out, took rez, and turned the quest in about five yards in front of the graveyard.

Commento di Allakhazam

at what cordinates can i find him?

Commento di Allakhazam

44 mage just soloed this, and it wasn't really all that bad.

As previous posters say, keep moving forwards because the repop is pretty fast, but I had no trouble staying ahead of them even taking a mana break after every second kill.

The cave is on the north end of the island south of feathermoon, if you approach along the beach from the west you can get to the path into the cave with only 2 kills. The second kill is through a wall which is blocking your way though, so you need some kind of range attack to fire through it (spells, bow, whatever). After that second kill, you can get around the wall by jumping at the hill at it's south end... that will get you around the end of it and onto the main path.

The naga are pretty large which means distances are deceptive with them - they look closer to you and each other than they really are (I kept attacking to find I was out of range when I was sure they were close). This means that although they look really tightly packed you don't have much worries about over-pulling, and you can actually just walk past quite a few if you stay on the wall away from them.

Inside, just head straight and you'll find the guy slightly to your left in the main chamber. He has two pals nearby and another one in the water in front of his 'island'. I killed a couple on the patch of ground to my left to give myself space to work.

The one in front came solo for me, but I didn't fancy my chances with the split; the order from left to right was sorcerer/named/warrior so I sheeped the warrior which after a second aggroed the named, the sorcerer never saw a thing.

A good tip posted previously is that the casters all use cold attacks - mages can just use our Frost Ward and they die very easily.

The named guy was level 47, he seemed to have lousy resists for fire, good for arcane... he resisted all 5 shots from my Arcane Missiles, but the fire hit every time.

You really don't wanna be fighting back out - especially if your 'sheep' is about to wear off and pull the warrior and the sorceror at the same time :) Use your HS to leave safely...

Did this as a lvl 44 warlock and didn't have any problems at all. Sometimes I had to fight 2 at once, but even this could easily be handled.

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this with a group, had no problem getting the drop.

Commento di Allakhazam

solo'd it as a lvl 44 Hunter.. Only one small thing.. Shalzaru didn't drop the f****** relic :/

Playing Classic in 2019 and Latronicus Moonspear won't interact with me at all. Is there some pre-requisite that I'm missing, or is he bugged, or...?

Commento di Y0ti

I suggest to skip this quest unless at least one of the following conditions are true:

you're lvl 48+
you've got a group or higher lvl player help
you are rogue or druid and have stealth

Lord Shalzaru himself is easy even for lvl43-44, but what is hard is to get to him: the cave is full of nagas with extremely fast respawn rate, endless daze and frostbolts hitting for 300-350 damage.

Commento di opusaug

Read the comment from icandrownfish on 2006/08/17 for detailed info. It's the only one that bothers to tell you how to get TO the cave everyone else is talking about.

Also, don't pay any attention to the quest "The Isle of Dread!" or its comments. (Rather than look up the quest name, I looked for the name of the subzone.) It may not appear so from the location of the target on the map (if you're using Questie or something similar), but you don't need to enter the interior of the island. In fact, there are elite max-level chimera in there, and you'll make a tasty lunch if you're at yellow levels for this quest (late 40s). I just managed to escape with my dwarf's beard in tact.

Commento di ercarp

If you're playing Hardcore Classic using the RXP guide add-on, it will tell you to go and solo this quest at level 45-46. My advice is that you don't. Lord Shalzaru, the naga you need to kill for the drop, is all the way at the back of a long cave swarming with naga, some of which have a Frostbolt ability that slows you, and others that Net you for 10 seconds. This cave is one of the biggest hotspots for deaths in all of Feralas. If you're leveling solo and you're not a class that can easily get away from a bad situation, you're better off skipping this quest.

Against Lord Shalzaru

Eliminate Lord Shalzaru, and then bring the Mysterious Relic he uncovered to Latronicus Moonspear in Feathermoon Stronghold.

	Mysterious Relic (1)

Descrizione

<name>, new scouting reports have given us a good idea on the naga chain of command. Royalty is present amongst their rank and file, and they're the ones calling all the shots.

Specifically, we've identified one of the crueler royals as Lord Shalzaru. Scouts report that he himself has uncovered an odd relic during a recent naga excavation in a cave south of the main ruins, across the water on the Isle of Dread.

Put a stop to it by putting a stop to him, and bring me his relic so we can study it.
