Milau appears at the bottom of Guo-Lai Halls in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. He is the target of a daily quest that is occasionally available after reaching Revered with the Golden Lotus faction.

Milau is a fairly unique fight for solo content. He does not autoattack, but instead uses a variety of abilities that can be dodged if you are paying attention.

His three main abilities are as follows:
Lightning Pool - The ability leaves a pool of lightning at your location that begins doing damage ~1 second after appearing. Milau typically casts this ability 4-7 times in a row, so it requires constant movement.
Lightning Breath - This ability has a short wind-up followed by a ~10 second channel. During the duration of the channel Milau shoots lightning at a fifth of the lower part of his platform. This will leave the affected area electrified for a fairly substantial duration (~20 seconds or so).
Lightning Sweep - At 66% and 33% Milau will fly down to the lower part of the platform and pull all players in the area to him. He will begin channeling this spell for 10 seconds. Upon completion the spell does ~150k damage to all targets in melee range and knocks them back. He then returns to his spawn location on the upper part of the platform.

The fight:
Milau's attacks follow a predictable pattern. He alternates casting Lightning Breath and 4-7 Lightning Pools. While he is casting Lightning Pools it is advisable to continue moving, as the damage can add up over the course of the fight. While he channels Lightning Breath you can get uninterrupted dps time as it does not really affect the upper platform.

At both 66% and 33% Milau will fly down to the lower platform and pull you down with him. He then begins casting Lightning Sweep. The cast takes roughly 10 seconds to complete so you can use this time to get some damage in, but be sure to avoid the electrified ground and get out of range before the cast finishes. Once the cast is complete Milau will return to the upper platform and resume alternating Lightning Breath and Lightning Pool until the next HP breakpoint or his death. If done right it is possible to complete this fight without take any damage at all. In fact it is a requirement for the achievement One Step at a Time. The key is to pay attention and never hesitate in moving from his abilities.

Solo'd as a Arms warrior, took 1 bandage and a few impending victory to survive. Dropped a tooth, grey quality item.

Kommentar von rcillig

I got in by ding at door and rezing inside looking for a chest since I got a key..... solo'd him as a DK with no real issues at all.. he has 4.7mil health

If you don't want to be taken with him when he flies down just stand next to the railing on the upper level. Your toon will move as if it were going to be pulled down but stops right against the rail.

Have not seen anyone talk about it, but this is one of the few dragons classified as a beast instead of a dragonkin. Any hunters tried to tame yet? Usually Blizz makes one "mistake" in the expansions and people end up with a unique pet. Probably not, but I have seen stranger things.

If you are grouped with someone who is fighting this boss but for whatever reason aren't participating in the fight you will periodically be launched into the air, possibly when Milau does Lightning Sweep. You go up like a rocket, fly miles and unless you can bubble or something you won't survive. Also works while corpse running. Have fun!

I was quite shocked that it dropped a Himmelssplitter for me.

Kommentar von LobaBranca

Quite easy for a Hunter BM with a Spirit Beast to solo.
I just had to keep running to avoid his Lightning Pools.

Kommentar von dexor123

Any one else notice that he has the highest chance to drop Skyshards?
and how it makes SENSE . He's the <Child of Alani>

Kommentar von arkensis

These "solo'd as..." comments aren't terribly useful for this particular NPC - Milau is intended as a solo quest mob for people with Revered and above with Golden Lotus. Considering the quest line at Revered rewards you with a 463 chest piece, most people at this level will likely have heroic or better gear already, making him easily soloable if you're being strategic about fighting him (as was intended with this fight).

Kommentar von Rorixis

Is this guy up even if the quest isn't?

Kommentar von Tontons

Incredibly boring fight. I avoided Lightning Sweep and other than that I found that it's really hard to get any damage from him. It's hard to get to the pools before they are made and standing in the pool that's already full with lightning did me no damage. You can even leave it on auto-attack and alt-tab if you're really bored, just don't miss the sweep part...

P.S. Sometimes he fails to pull you down. That makes the fight even closer to total boredom.

Kommentar von 998027

Despite having the title "Child of Alani", this mob seems to have tons more HP, over 3X, as well as being arguably more difficult to kill.

That being said, he's a trivial fight for ranged DPSers, and a fairly simple fight (considering he has no real attacks except Lightning Pool) for anyone else.

Shouldn't be too hard for anyone who has gotten Revered with Golden Lotus already.

Also note, that Milau's Kill Quest (Ein Röhren aus der Tiefe) will appear in substitution of, but NOT with, Die bröckelnde Halle. Either of these will appear with the Ashweb Matriarch daily.

Kommentar von AlBaz

Downed him slowly but easily on my Beastmaster Hunter. Just stayed well out of his way and kept plugging away. Wowhead says he drops some decent loot, but all I got was grey Sharp Fangs, which netted me an amazing 7 silver. Boo!

Kommentar von 1064266

All this guys dropped for me was a Sharp Fangs. Oh well....

Kommentar von fordahord

By the way, you might want to avoid stepping on the red-colored stones in the anteroom on the way out. I was at full health after Milau, but the red stone activated one of the stone lions who one-shotted me...

For melee players looking to get achievement credit:

Position yourself between the brazier by the top of the stairs (behind the large pillar) and the last post at the top of the stairs.

You will be outside of Milau's lightning pool range, and you will not be pulled down to the lower floor.

Kommentar von Ladris

Just did this for the first time, solo, as a lvl 90 Balance Druid and this method worked wonderfully to take no damage.

I stood back near one of the corners, at the edge of my range, and just kept casting. His Lightning Pools never came anywhere near me and he only electrified the lower floor. The only challenge was when he pulls you to the lower floor for Lightning Sweep. I changed to cat form in mid-air so I avoided fall damage, then ran back up the nearest set of stairs as fast as I could. No damage taken.

Rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps someone. :)

Finally did this as a ret pally. Strongly recommend doing this one of the cheeser methods already described, but from someone on a low-pop server here was my strat to solo:

As a forward, practice the fight with Milan over and over until you can do it without taking damage. Only then go back and accept the quest. Also make sure you go down with some potions of invis, so that the two-lion room is just not an issue. Trust me it's not worth the frustration just pop the pot and go. If you practiced the Milan fight prior you should only need 2-3 potions (but you can do it with 1!), so you can probably just AH them. I took glyph of harsh words for a ranged HP expender just to make the fight a bit faster (as it has a melee attack so you must stay ranged), and the 15% all times run speed, as that seemed to work best to get out of the lightning pools. With harsh words and full inquisition dps shouldn't be an issue (10 secs/phase in 490ish gear). This quest's frustration is worth the investment, bring in a dps flask, some food and potions.

The fight - The important thing that most of the comments here missed is, his flydown phase happens at 75% and 25%, NOT 66/33. Always keep running. Only run forward or strafe, no backpedaling. As long as you are always running full speed and you don't run into a pool like an idiot none will touch you. There is plenty of room no reason to get in melee range. Also during phase 2 and 3 it will be casting more pools so you need to run in a way that there is still an opening and you don't get cornered in somewhere on the platform. Once you pass 75% threshold Milan will fly down. If it is casting the breath spell as you pass the 75/25 threshold it is safe to move into melee before it finishes, you won't get melee attacked. Watch that percentage and once you break 75/25 bum rush him and hug the rail. If you can put yourself between the rail you have about a 50/50 chance to not be pulled all the way down. But more importantly if you do get pulled down from that short distance you don't take any fall damage. If you try the methods behind the pillar sometimes you are saved, but if you are pulled all the way down you take fall damage. You could use the falling avenger glyph if you really like those columns but I was able to do the rail method perfectly three times in a row while practicing. Just make sure to get the hell out of the lower area and back onto the main platform. Once the 2nd 50% of his health starts I popped all my CDs and burned him to 25% in a few secs, so that phase didn't last too long. Again make sure to watch and start running in soon as you cross into 24.99. Rinse and repeat once more. Don't forget to hearth out and be super careful to not take any damage while on your way to meet the quest giver.

All in all took about two hours. Really the only mechanic of note is that grasp attack, once you get that down with the rail you're golden.

Just pay somebody to boost you through this, it just isn't worth the stress to try and solo it..

EDIT: I just got the thunder below part done.

How I did it was, I paid somebody to kill Milau for me while I stayed in a safe spot between the 2 trap rooms, I still got credit for the kill and then I carefully ran back to the quest giver, dismounted and turned in the quest.

One thing you need to watch out for while running back is the patrolling mini-spiders they will hit you and you will fail the achievement.

Also while running into the halls don't do what I did, and fly inside then demount and take fall damage ><.. it fails the achievement.

If you take damage while attempting this, simply abandon the quest, log out, log back in, retake the quest and try again.

Kommentar von NariandColds

This Don Guerreros gloreicher Halsreif just dropped from him today for me. I noticed it's not in the loot table.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

Avoid the Red Stones. Actually, on two characters now I've found that not only can the Red Stones one-shot you, but others can randomly as well. After speaking with other members of my guild who have done this, the general consensus is that this is not intended but the fight is often and maybe mostly glitched.

Glitch or not, the real issue is time. The Time-Constrained Player can't die and go back multiple times. The GY is two time zones and a plane change too far and two glitches add up to a negative number. We cheer at all the big rewards on the TI and other areas. Spend some time with the exploding cigar floor and you'll pass the 100 Gold repair threshold pretty quickly.

Nothing really interesting here and no clever design. Skip this time sinkhole unless you need to do it for some reason.

Kommentar von unholydriver

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else so I suppose I'll share. I've been having a problem when killing Milau. He/She flings me around the room, like any other player, but somehow I get knocked in between the railing and the wall (which I believe is an area we are not supposed to be). The floor under me seems to disappear and all the sudden I'm falling out of the sky in Kun-Lai! Needless to say, I eventually die due to falling damage and accept Resurrection Sickness.

I have killed Milau at least a dozen times but today marks the second time this has happened. I'm guessing it's a glitch and since it has happened to me twice, maybe I'm not the only one.

Kommentar von 1034144

Milau dropped me into a pool, possibly on the left when looking at Milau when you approach, in whose corner there was a tiny platform in the shape of a slab at the corner, right on the water's surface. It had a ring of blue light on it. Swimming to it and stepping onto it brought up the Pandaria loading screen and I found it had teleported me to the right-hand nook of the centre of the stairs leading down to the hall across Milau, who was back at max hp, as if made for those who wish to start afresh.

Kommentar von AshDT

First day of shadowlands pre patch I took my level 42 BM hunter to tame this guy, hardest part was finding him. literally just walk up and press tame- Nice and easy. As for finding him; on your map in Vale is Guo-Lai Halls, theirs a big stone arc type entrance on the map: go there. Walk in and keep going straight until you can not go straight anymore through some double doors. Go to the bottom of the staircase, and theirs an opening and keep going and you should see him up on a platform. The room before the double doors has traps on the ground, you can mostly ignore them except for the white ones as they knock back so just walk in between the other colour traps and it is trivial. Make sure to step on any green tiles you see along the trip as the speed you up!
Good luck and enjoy your pet!

Kommentar von RaukoLord

Tameable in 9.0.1

Kommentar von LilLeilani

Still casts Lightning Breath while in Freezing Trap. Even if you aren't taking damage from the breath, it will interrupt the tame. Just wait until right after Lightning Breath finishes to start taming. Respawns in about a minute, if you're getting two for matching pets.

Kommentar von Damnzil

For Hunters wanting her as a pet (or for anyone else trying to get to her, truly...) - Milau is NOT in the Black Empire version of the Vale. Go talk to Zidormi (currently at Mogu'Shan Palace, outside the instance, and upstairs above the portal) and ask her to send you back to before the Black Empire attacked.

THEN go to Guo-Lai Halls and go STRAIGHT through the double doors, down the stairs, and you'll see her at the end of the hallway, on top of the platform.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Scaryfox

I admittedly was in a place where I could one-shot him. I wish taming him was as convenient because I had to wait twice. And I think the second person could see that I didn't have a pet. Oh, and while I'm here, MM hunters can still use pets. They just get a slight damage bonus whenever thet don't have an active pet, though.
