One of the more frustrating mobs needed to kill for the hunter epic bow/staff quest. The best way to do it is to speak with him when he is towards the top of the ridge on the northwest corner of his 'round'. This allows you to kite him directly west to the road and then the rest of the fight is you running on the road.

Some things to keep in mind. 1) Obviously you must serpent sting him. 2) You must alternate between serpent sting and rank 1 Arcane shot. Otherwise he just resists your continued application of serpent sting. 3) Aspect of the cheetah is required, however, you can not get out of his range either. If you exceed the max range for shooting for any length of time, he will just bug out and go back to the start. If you get to close, you get the crappy curse. 4) get Restorative potions made. once every 3 seconds you will have the curse removed. this should be good enough so that if you accidently get into a close range, then you can still complete the encounter. 5) if you are running up hill at all he is faster than you and 'flys' to catch up. you must be ready to cunc shot him at this point. otherwise, you will just die.

Have a couple people help you, mostly to help kill the cats that are between the road and the starting point, and be prepared to try about 5 - 10 times to just get a 'feel' for how fast he is, and how often you need to apply the serpent sting. Should be easily accomplished by the second time he reappears. good luck!

(Strategy from TKA something)

Strengths:
* Enrages periodically, greatly increasing its DPS
* Casts Demonic Doom, that makes you look like a demon and causes 350 shadow damage every 3 seconds for 1 minute

Weaknesses:
* Easily kited, running at normal speed
* Serpent Sting does 350% damage to this demon, having a damage debuff effect on this demon that stacks if you re-apply it
* Demonic Doom has a limited range that it cannot be casted outside of
* Enrage can be removed by using Tranquilizing Shot

Strategy:
No brainer really. Just kite him with Aspect of the Cheetah on (but be careful not to run out of range). Keep Serpent Sting on at all times and Concussive Shot her whenever he gets close. It is important to remain beyond 30 yards of the Demonic Doom, yet within range to use Arcane Shot so that he continues chasing you. If you rely completely on Serpent Sting for damage, he will break aggro and return to where he started. Once you apply Serpent Sting, count to 4, and apply it again before it wears off (the damage does stack). You will be able to see this by a 2nd damage listing "Stinging Trauma", which will continue to increase each time the sting is applied. Also, be sure to clear the area you plan on fighting so as to not get dazed by another NPC wandering by.

* Additional items to bring: Major Health/Mana Potion

Suggestions:

If you know a friendly enchanter, get your boots enchanted with Minor Speed (however, keep in mind that the line between Demon-ization and being out of range is small - you don't want to go TOO fast)

If you're having trouble with Demonic Doom, consider packing a few Restorative Potions along (Removes 1 magic, curse, poison or disease effect on you every 5 seconds for 30 seconds)

If you bring friends, have ALL your party members in front of you on their mounts to train ALL the mobs away that you may run into. Alternatively, if you catch him right about at the South-western tip of his path, you take him from there up to the road and kite along there with less chance of encountering other NPCs

Ahh ... Artorius...

I remember that fight...
Against popular belief, this quest can be easily soloed by a hunter on his (or her) eic quest. There is a spot near the very south of his route where you can kite him up a short hill to the road. There are no stealthed cats, just a bear and chimera which u need to clear before beginning. Once you are on the road, head south towards Everlook.

For me, he died in the middle of the ravine right before town. Its hard, but doable. good luck.

One more warning: when he drops below 20% life or so, he will slow down a little bit. be careful not to run out of agro range. he got me that way once.

All the strategies say he will take extra damage from serpent sting thru another debuff. It may not seem like he has it, because it will not register on his bar: if you see it, he is too close and you will be turned into a demon very soon.

I found a rotation of Rank 9 Serpent Sting and Rank 1 arcane shot to work best. Serpent sting, count to 12. At 6 use arcane shot. At 8 and 2 use serpent sting.

you may need a mana potion, but thats about it.

Good luck, he's tough

Artorius likes to evade bug around terrain. Keep applications of serpent sting upon him, tap him with rank 1 arcane shot (just to keep him interested ;) ) and imo use concussive shot to ease him around any tough terrain.

The majority of your damage in this encounter will be the "Stinging Trauma" he receives from stacking serpent stings. With a buffed arcane shot now though you can deal a decent chunk of damage with even rank 1 arcane shot.

If you stop him at the most southwestern part of his route you can kite him directly south to the road and from there towards Everlook.

Currently bugged as of 2.4.2. He despanws as soon as the encounter starts.

I did this today, he did despawn on me when I attacked him with my pet.
Freezing trap glitch still works, successfully looted his head.

Kommentar von Trev81

Killed him today on my 72 hunter, and an odd thing happened: I messed up and got to close to him. VERY close. Like, I hit him in melee several times, and was never turned into a demon.

I don't know if this is a bug or not but if any hunters are still trying to take him out, this is the time to do it.

Kommentar von calmlunatic

At lvl 80 (hunter, bm spec) I just melee'd him with two swords, raptor strike, and mongoose.

edit: I was also not turned into a demon.

Kommentar von xstaindx

Frost Trap, Disengage, Wyvern Sting and some Explosive Shots and he was down on the ground.

Kommentar von Luphy

i screwed this up by having my pet out. Anyone know how long till he respawns?

Kommentar von 397441

If you use Snake Trap while fighting him he will despawn.

Kommentar von 377367

Just attemped to kill him on my 73 DK....after aggroing him and inflicting about 20k worth of damage, he stops attacking me and says:

"Only a fool would remain in this battle. Farewell, coward."

then he proceeds to despawn.

Must be a built-in way to keep him available to hunters on the tree spirit quest to assassinate him.

Kommentar von asmadeous

Anyone know the respawn timer on this guy?

Kommentar von dedelf

That just happened to me too... on my hunter. Of course he's a lvl 80 but I am on the quest. Frustrating I tells ya! Shot him once and now I've been waiting a half hour for him to re-spawn. If he does it again I'm opening a ticket.

Kommentar von 630067

an interesting note is that if a non hunter attempts to kill him, his health will go down to 50%, and stay in tauren form. Then he says "Only a fool would remain in this battle. Farewell coward."

Kommentar von bazzio

Did it today on my lvl 60 hunter twink (not yet)
4 pieces tier 1 other greens and blues

I succedeed on 3rd real attempt, using this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTLzgEEvzhM
It was a real help, a lvl 70 friend helped me with the mobs

Kommentar von bazzio

edit :)
useful info:
I got a pala friend who aggro'ed the one in un'goro accidentally
and killed her, I could still loot the head.

this worked on the one in silithus as well, and I suspect it will work on the others too...

Kommentar von 429872

I'm spec'd Surv and I have a constant buff of Sniper Training, does this make him flee?

Kommentar von TimeTrap

Do Not use serpent Trap, the snakes count as outside help and he runs away.

Kommentar von Lindentree

Oh for the love of

If he despawns with his "Only a fool" statement, it is not a bug. It means that someone else got on his aggro table. Common culprits:

* Shaman totems
* Pets proper (e.g. hunter pets, demons, ghouls)
* Guardian pets (e.g. bloodworms, Tranquil Mechanical Yeti, Nibelung val'kyr)
* A friendly passer-by "helping" you with buffs or by attacking the demon
* Running too close to NPCs that will help you fight (e.g. the goblins at Everlook)

So far its one shot for well geared level 80. Serpent sting and Chimaera shot, I haven't got time for one more. No kiting, no tactics, no debuff.

Kommentar von 549434

cant i even use my pet? omg?

Kommentar von Lindentree

Weirdly enough, he is not immune to freezing trap, but he is immune to Counterattack.

Found my old videos on a random cd of vanilla WOW, killing the hunter quest boss's.
Really enjoyed these quests but the quality isn't that great as it was ages ago.
Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAaAoyCGdwk

Boss was located in the Northeast of Winterquell and patrolled around as a Tauren called Artorius der Liebenswürdige. He was killed by kiting and stacking serpent sting. (Pretty sure this was the only boss that allowed stacking of serpent sting) so mana was a high importance and a clear road to run down.

Artorius der Verhängnisvolle
