Die Quest ist solo machbar. Nalak muss nicht sterben.

Speer auf ihn werfen und fliehen. Aus Nalak kommt dann ein Elementar, der euch verfolgt. Auch ihn nicht angreifen sondern kiten. Er verliert von selbst Leben und wenn er stirbt erhaltet ihr die gehärtete Blitzlanze ins Inventar.

Kommentar von GhostFlame

Ebenfalls sehr einfach machbar als Hexer. Einfach den Hexerport hinstellen, dass man direkt wegporten kann, wenn man unter seinem Bauch steht. Nalak mit der Lanze pullen und direkt den Leerwandler drauf schicken. Direkt wegporten (Achtung, nicht das Dämonische Tor verwenden) und vom Elementar weg laufen (Richtung ist egal). Nalak despawnt nachdem Der Leerwandler tot ist.

Kommentar von elonoil

Noch ein paar Tips:
Ihr solltet direkt unter Nalak stehen damit das Add auch wirklich spawned und die gelbe Verbindungslinie zu euch macht. Ihr solltet erst dann loslaufen, wenn ihr die gelbe Linie zwischen euch und dem Add seht. Das Add verliert von allein Leben. Einfach weglaufen und kiten.

Als Jäger habe ich Nalak mit dem Questitem gepullt, sofort danach Abschreckung gezogen damit mich Nalak nicht tötet. Eine Sekunde später sah ich dann die gelbe Linie. Totstellen gedrückt, Nalak ist despawned, das Add aber nicht. Einfach das Add dann noch eine halbe Minute kiten und man hat die gehärtete Blitzlanze.

Wollte nur mal kurz bestätigen das es auch mit 5.4 noch solo funzt!

grade gemacht als blutdk, hab mir vorher an andren mobs runenmacht geholt zwecks heal
dann mit dem speer pulln schnell treppe rauf und rechts die treppe wieder runter da stehen
in der ecke 2 mogu zwecks noch mehr heal^^ und nach kurzer zeit gehärtete lanze im inventar
fertig hab paar trys gebraucht weil auch das add despawnt wenn man zu schnell/weit weck rennt

Kommentar von fday

So geht’s für jede Klasse ganz einfach:

Vor Nalak hinstellen, auf Max-Range der Blitzlanze (58.6 39.9).
Lanze werfen.
Rückwärts gehen bis Nalak despawnt (darf nicht zu nahe kommen).
Übrig bleibt die Essenz der Stürme, die nach wenigen Momenten stirbt.

Kommentar von Manny1988

Aktuell ist es so, dass wenn Nalak despawnt, auch das Add despawnt.

Am einfachsten ist es, wenn Ihr einen Tank oder einen Hunter mitnehmt, der euch Nalak eben tankt. Das Add, welches spawnt, muss nicht dpst werden, es stirbt von ganz alleine ihr müsst es einfach nur kiten. Währenddessen lasst ihr den Hunter oder den Tank Nalak einfach kiten, das ganze dauert etwa 20-30 sekunden, solange hällt euer Kollege das solo aus.

Getestet und TÜV-geprüft :)

Kommentar von athika

Um die Quest zu machen, musst man zuerst das Solo Szenario abgeschlossen haben. Insel des Donners

Hat man es versäumt, kann man die Solo Szenarien auch danach noch machen. Die Quest wird danach automatisch auf abgeschlossen gesetzt. Man muss sie also nicht nochmal machen.

Kommentar von Xorlyn

Kann man solo nicht machen als Frost DK - jedes mal wenn ich ihm zu nahe komme haut er mich um, wenn ich weit genug weg bleibe despawned das add - ergo, solo nur etwas für pet klassen.

Am einfachsten ist die Lösung des engl. Kollegen ckdss.
Dieser beschreibt folgendes:
Geht in den Hof von Nalak und bewegt euch in nördliche Richtung (zum Eingang der Instanz ToT).
Vor den Stufen werft ihr die Lanze und geht rückwärts ins Gebäude rein. Nach kurzer Zeit ist die Lanze im Inventar.

Kommentar von Mekku

Just to add a bit to this, beyond some of the still-existing speculation, there are a few things confirmed:

After going through the first two steps, as mentioned above: First, reaching exalted with The Black Prince and, second, collecting 20 Secrets of the Empire and 40 Trillium Bars, the progress of the server simply has to get to the point where the Lightning Forge is unlocked.

From here, when both the final courtyard and Lightning Forge have been unlocked, The Black Prince gives you a quest, Spirit of the Storm Lord:

On this quest, your task is to take the provided Lightning Lance and thrust it into one of the new outdoor raid bosses Nalak, <the Storm Lord> and then killing it, which then causes Empower Lightning Lance and ultimately giving you Tempered Lightning Lance in order to complete the quest.

Good luck getting those meta gems!

Kommentar von Halo21

i used Lightning Lance on Nalak at 10%, a mob called "Essence of Storm" (424m HP) spawned and started to chase me, i just ran away from him cause his health was going down on his own till death, and quest was complete for me :) (If you get hit by this mob you get oneshotted with 600k in da face, i tried previously).

Kommentar von Repartee

Just finished this on my shaman. If you're on a high pop server such as Stormrage, you will likely never see the essence (only the eyes above your head denoting a fixate). Even turning graphics all the way down didn't alleviate the lag to where I could view the essence chasing me.

1st try was a failure because I stopped running around after Nalak died.
2nd try I guessed and went counterclockwise around the room and kept running until I got the complete message, well after Nalak's death.

I plunged the lance into Nalak around 5% hoping the lag would subside after his death to where I could see the essence. Didn't work on the lagfest known as Stormrage. But YMMV.

Good luck,
Varzik

Kommentar von Nerxedion

For those who are wondering: Nalak does NOT need to be tagged by your faction. I did the quest while it being an ally tag as a hordie, so dont be shy to go and do the quest even when he is assaulted by the enemy faction (that is if you dare).

Edit: actually people are right, it matters not what % hp Nalak is on as long as you throw your spear into him and wait the add to die by himself ( dont dps it). It was however bugged at the point of writing this comment.

Kommentar von tidus93

After you use it on nalek it will apply a debuff on him, you basically want to kill him while that debuff is applied (it doesnt have a duration, but if you die and get CR or run back you will have to reapply it). When the boss gets low you'll see a line from going from the boss towards you, this means an add has fixated on you, if it gets to you it will one shot you, the add has like 40 million hp but it's droping fast, so you just want to kite him untill its dead and you'll get completion for the quest.

Kommentar von Halo21

You don't need to kill Nalak, you can ask one of your friend like a mage to pull Nalak and go in Ice Block for some seconds to let you to use the item on him and just start to run away from the "Essence of Storm" giving you quest complete.

Kommentar von leaderavia

depending on your faction participation, the opposite faction can unlock nalak first. this means that the entire server can kill nalak and use their spear on him, but the first part of the quest won't complete until your faction "unlocks" the area as well. the objective "unlock the foot of lei shen" is considered complete once you complete the scenario "the fall of shan bu."

btw, i know a lot of people are saying that you have to wait until nalak is low to use the spear, but it let me use it and summon the add right when he was pulled. when i did it later on an alt, i had to throw the spear a second time, so i wouldn't wait.

Kommentar von 1114699

You don't have to actually kill Nalak to complete this quest. When you use your spear a mob will spawn from the boss (it'll be in the sky) and move slowly toward you, taking damage as it goes. Just run away, the quest will complete when that mob dies.

I play a hunter, so was able to pull Nalak, throw the spear and Feign Death - the quest mob won't despawn.

Kommentar von marcceballos

Im going to post how to do not argue about it.

-Wait to 20%
-Use the lance in range ( instant cast )
- Be careful with the add, one hit one die

Congrats, u have your metagem.

Kommentar von Kyok

The debuff apllied by Blitzlanze dissapear from Nalak after 30 seconds.

Kommentar von 298187

Jaihind (Priest on Jaedenar):

Spec for "Spectral Guise"

Stand near Nalak
Spear him
You'll see a golden line between you and the essence (it will be like a cloud trash mob)
Bubble and run. While you are running use "Spectral Guise".
Nalak will despawn, but the essence will keep following you. Just run around for a few seconds and you are done.

Kommentar von 1090205

As a Night Elf I can confirm that Shadowmeld works perfectly fine. I threw the lance then SM'd so he would leave me alone (first time I forgot to and he 2-shotted me LOL).. the add fixated and I just Dashed around the courtyard till it was complete. Cake :)

Edited as I accidentally said druid when I meant Night Elf hehe sorry guys!

Kommentar von 157913

For anyone with a way to drop combat (Vanish, Feign Death, etc.) who wants to solo this, you have to be quick on dropping combat after using the spear. I recommend making a macro. I'm a Night Elf, so my macro looks like this:

/use Lightning Lance
/use Shadowmeld

With that prepared, here's what you do:

1. Get in range of Nalak of some ability that will aggro him.
2. Use that ability and immediately start strafing away (but don't face away)
3. Use the macro you made. You'll drop combat with Nalak, and then the add will spawn. (If you don't use a macro, you just have to be very quick between using the spear and dropping combat, or the add will despawn as well).
4. Kite the add around Nalak's courtyard until it dies on its own. Don't dps it yourself.

Kommentar von iceman2486

Also you do not need to have the tag on Nalak. If the opposite faction tags him you can still get credit.

Kommentar von Ryawy

If you do this quest in a group that's killing the boss, you won't disrupt your raid. The add it summons will come after you alone and it won't disturb the rest of the encounter.

If there are any changes, they weren't major or noticeable. Nobody yelled or panicked when I used mine.

Kommentar von Grabovsky

For any druids, go guardian, spec into force of nature.

Use lance, use force, dash as far around the room as you can. when boss comes at you, pop CDs(Barkskin, Survival Instincts, Might of Ursoc), try to stay as far away as possible, renewal is helpful, but not required.

If done right, should have gotten the item right before you die.

Kommentar von 1117931

Solo-ed this as an Elemental Shaman. Here's how I did it.

1. Start under Nalak, facing the raid entrance guarded by the Shado-Pan Assault.
2. Drop Earth Elemental. Lightning bolt and spear Nalak. Ghost Wolf and run towards the raid entrance. (You should see the eyes above you, letting you know the NPC is following. If the eyes don't appear, reset and try again.)
3. Go halfway into the room (Not all the way to the back or Nalak will reset.) Just enough for Nalak to aggro the 4 Shado-Pan Guards at the entrance of the room.
4. Once Nalak aggros the 4 Shado-Pan Guards, heal up. Ghost Wolf and run out of the room into the main Courtyard. You'll take damage....heal thru it.
5. (Optional step) Once you are a little past the center of the main courtyard, make sure the eyes are still above you. If not, wait for your Spear cool-down and run back towards Nalak and spear him again. The eyes should re-appear and the NPC is tracking you again. You will take more damage...heal thru it.
6. Run towards the stairs opposite the raid entrance. The Shado-Pan Guards should still be fighting with Nalak. NPC should be following you. Simply keep running or dps the add down. Once the NPC is dead, you win.

Kommentar von 1080099

Very easy to do as a mage:

- Move under Nalak
- Cast Ice Barrier
- Use spear
- Blink toward entrance
- Ice Block
- Cast Mirror Images

At this point, the add should be following you and nearly dead, so keep recasting ice barrier to stay alive. Congratulations, you now have your meta gem.

Kommentar von Draconax

Solo'd as a Mistweaver monk. Here's how:

a) Glyph Transcendence
b) Get Tiger's Lust, Chi Torpedo, and Dampen Harm for talents
c) Pre-pop Dampen Harm
d) Place Transcendence on one side of him, and move as far as you can away from it on the far side.
e) Pull with the lance, and teleport.
f) Pop Tiger's Lust, and start running. When he starts closing on you, dampen harm will keep his melee hits low.
g) Chi Torpedo around the area. Pop healing spheres at your feet as you run, it will keep you alive through all the non-melee dmg very easily.
h) Continue for another 15-20 seconds, and you should have it. Promptly die.

Congratz, you got your meta!

Kommentar von 850778

Is anyone else finding the spear doesn't work every time? I'm trying to do it solo, but sometimes I throw the spear, it aggros him, but there's no add for the quest.

Kommentar von 449048

OK, I just got this done with my mage today, and here is what you need to do to get it done:

First of all, you have to make sure that you have the golden / yellow link that connects you and the essence occured before you get to the next step. Because that's the only way you can keep the essence chasing you after you use Invisibility to get the boss despawned.

Secondary, once you had the link on you, just pop your images, then blink out of the area, and pop invisibility right away once it is available, the boss will despawn but the essense will remain. then all you need to do is to stay alive until the essence died.

Also, once last thing that can help you to get this done is that the essence is attackable, just hit it with everything you get and you can kill it before it dies on its own.

Hope this will work for all the mages who are interested in soloing it.

Kommentar von 1096079

Great way to do this by yourself, any class, is to pull nalak and then run to the guards next to door to ToT. They immediately pull aggro and they take a while to die. After they get aggro just use the lance and run from the add.

Kommentar von ibizamale

I have just completed this doing the following as a Night Elf

Macro:
/use Lightning Lance
/cast Shadowmeld(Racial)

1. Stand just in front of him
2. Cast DOT (I used Shadow Word Pain)
3. 2 seconds later (after first hit) i ran the macro.
4. Nalak De-Spawned
5 The new mob fixated on me and followed me.
6. Ran away from mob for 20 or so seconds.
7. Completed

Hey Presto,

This took me about 5 goes.

Cheers

Kommentar von draconero

Tried countless times with my warrior to solo this without success. I solved by asking a friend to pull and aggro Nalak for me. Once its attention was somewhere else I used the lance.
Make sure you have the usual fixate-on-you eyes over your head, and start running. No rush, the mob is slow and dies quickly. Quest completed.

Remember to give you friend some repair gold!

Kommentar von 1082494

I have tried this about 20 times as a rogue, and the add despawns when the boss despawns, plain and simple. About 1.5 seconds after I shadowmeld or vanish, the boss despawns and the add slowly disappears and stops fixating on me. Maybe they changed something?

Kommentar von MishakalT

You can also complete this quest while the other faction has Nalak tagged.

I waited untill he was at 30% hp, used the lance and ran in a big circle just out of range of Nalak's aoe, the add that spawns followed me around for a bit and that was it, quest complete. Nalak wasn't even dead yet. I just ran a little distance away and hearthed home.

Kommentar von basherxz

As an undead dk, this is how I do it without failing:

- Be in blood spec and tank gears.
- Call your Army and Ghoul before you pull.
- Pull Nalak with the spear, so when he comes down you're not building any threat on him.
- Run around the room, kiting the ball. Pop your Cooldown if needed.
- Finish your quest before dying to Nalak.

Good Luck, DKs.

Kommentar von GMChocolate

Fun fact: If you are a rogue that has completed the legendary daggers quest line from Cataclysm the following dialogue will take place when you are about to deliver the quest.

Aduin Wrynn: I can't believe you're still alive.
Wathion: Remind me to tell you the story about my friend here and what we accomplished together at Ravenholdt. Good times!

Kommentar von Furydeath

I use the thing about 5 times and the add NEVER spawns. Ether they fix it and he much be near death or its broken

Kommentar von AngryClown

Doable by warriors but you need to be fast (and be willing to take half a dozen tries).

1. Do it as prot spec with defensive stance.
2. Spec into Second Wind
3. Do everything you possibly can to get as much HP as possible. I'm primarily fury, so in my ghetto max HP set in prot spec I had about 680k buffed (flask, commanding).

Run under Nalak and pull him with something stupid like heroic throw. Don't use taunt or the spear!

Immediately turn and burn to the Shado Pan guards and keep running (DO NOT STOP) until they get aggro. During this run, burn heroic leap, demo banner, and raid stand. Whatever it takes to get you past the first 4 guards leading to the ToT portal. They should be able to peel him off you before getting into the main room with the summoning stone.

Once the guards have aggro, turn around and start running back to Nalak's spawn spot. Look out for arc nova, and once you are directly under him, throw the spear, and then run like hell into his main large area and keep running away from the elemental.

If you get low, by now your normal last stand is off CD. If you have lock rocks or health pots, blow them if you need them.

Once the elemental is dead, just hearth out or keep running.

Took me about 8 tries. Sometimes you catch a bad getaway and you're dead before you reach the guards... other times you do something stupid like stand in an arc nova, or get tethered. Either way just keep trying.

Kommentar von Nevermoor

I pull him and run into and around the room where the guards and the ToT entrance are, but the guards always ignore him (and of course Nalak kills me.) ?

Kommentar von Demonbeir

I noticed that when Nalak resets, the add despawns, might be a 5.3 change. Regardless, working 5.3 strat for Hexenmeister. As preparation get and summon your Voidwalker. Place your Dämonisches Tor at the bottom of the stairs.

Use lance, your void will assist and taunt Nalak
Cast doomguard or a dot
Use your gateway and start running inside the courtyard
When your health starts dropping use a Gesundheitsstein herstellen and Erbarmungslose Entschlossenheit
When Nalak stormclouds you, pop
By the time expires, you should have completed the quest
Res and hand in :-)

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

tried to solo this tonight on my Rogue, but seems that it doesn't work as well in 5.3. The Shado-Pan Assault NPC's take ages to aggro on him if they even aggro on him at all.

Kommentar von Amoyer55

Still soloable by a mage (frost) in 5.3. Steps are:

-Stand on one side of the area Nalak spawn, put Water Ele on the other side
-Have Water Ele pull Nalak. Wait for 2-3 Water Ele attacks before you attack
-Shoot an ice lance and throw the spear immediately after
-Pop all CDs
-Use Greater Invisiblity
-Water Ele may or may not have died, odds are he did. Images should still be up
-Burn the storm guy chasing you and it's complete

A bit of a disclaimer, my ilvl is 525. Nothing amazing but still enough to make a difference on killing the add quickly. Just did it tonight after a few attempts of messing around to see what I could come up with. Good luck!

Kommentar von Moonie1

Easy enough to do with a friend:

Have someone pull Nalak to the guards. Use your spear on Nalak as he chases your puller to the guards. He will fight the guards while you deal with the Essence of Storms. After you finish the quest if your friend is still alive he can zone into Throne of Thunder to lose agro.

On a sidenote: I dps'd the Essence while it was chasing me to help it die faster and as soon as it died I was removed from combat.

Kommentar von Willemsii

I completed this quest soloble as a ilvl 512 warrior :

1. Stand in front of Nalak
2. Throw your lance
3. Use Heroic Leap to gain distance between Nalak and the spawned add.
4. Run as much as possible to the walls.
5. I died seconds after when the spawned add died and completed my quest :).

This was done in two attempts! Good luck Warriors!

Kommentar von Mormolyce

I just completed this quest and it awarded the guild Master Pandaria Crafter :O

Happened as soon as the add died and the spear charged... apparently this counts as a "craft". In fact if you look at it, it says "<Made by ___>" just like a crafted item.

Kommentar von Crankshaft78

This can be done as part of a raid group so you get the kill for Nalak and just before he dies you throw the spear then just run away from add. Nalak dies seconds later add dies. Quest done.

Kommentar von sacarasc

An engineer's tips to soloing this quest:

First, acquire a Gnomische Tarnvorrichtung, the schematic of which is sold by Zan Messerritzel in limited supply (1). Although it says "Gnomish" in the name, you can be a goblin engineer and use this.

Secondly, make a macro such as:
/use Lightning Lance
/use Gnomish Cloaking Device

Thirdly, go visit Nalak, you should all know where he is.

Fourth, stand almost underneath him, then hit your macro button from the second step.

You should now have the add on you, and Nalak should have despawned, so you can just back pedal a little until the add dies and then you are done!

This is working perfectly well in 5.3.

Kommentar von Hotfuzzy

Trivial as a Mistweaver Monk.

Spec into Celerity, Dampen Harm, and Chi Torpedo (I've seen others recommend Tiger's Lust instead of Celerity; however, I really didn't have a problem keeping plenty of distance between myself and the add, and I like Celerity for the extra Torpedo/heal.)

Stand as close as you can to the guards at the raid entrance and zap Nalak with a tick of Crackling Jade Lightning, then immediately turn and book it towards the portal (obviously don't go in.) The guards picked him up pretty quickly for me, but just run around until they grab him, and then head back out towards the courtyard. HoT yourself up and smack him with your spear on your way by. This is the only part that may get a little hairy, as he will be shooting balls at you and will probably lightning tether you. Use Chi Torpedo for distance and healing, Expel Harm, Healing Sphere, and, if he lightning tethers you, pop Life Cocoon on yourself to negate the extra damage from being far away. Once you get out from under him, you don't really have to worry about his abilities anymore. Just run around the courtyard in a big arc dropping Healing Spheres as needed. I was really surprised by how little healing I needed once I made it through that initial crunch of getting past Nalak with the add.

Once the add despawned, I dropped combat and hearthed to turn in while giggling at the handful of hordies that thought they needed to charge in as soon as I tagged the boss.

Kommentar von 1121518

I'm not sure if this has been changed with a hotfix, but spearing him early and trying to despawn him doesn't seem to work anymore. Or it didn't work for me anyway. The add just wouldn't spawn. I think they may have made it so that it only spawns when Nalak is low health, to bring it in line with what Wrathion tells you about spearing him just before he dies. I can still use the spear early on, and I sometimes get an alert saying that the add has spawned, but there just isn't one.

I ran all the way down to the first gate to try and despawn him, but there was no add with him. I also can't seem to make it even back to the guards. I am a prot pally using Speed of Light, but Nalak always manages to catch up to me and murder me before I can even get to the portal.

EDIT:
Even when I did get to the portal by bubbling, the guards didn't pick Nalak up and he didn't despawn. He just sat in that little courtyard beating on me until I died. There was also no lightning spawn add.

Very frustrating; it seems as if Blizz has decided to ensure that this quest needs a group. Anyone looking for a solo strat should probably disregard all the ones from 5.2 being outlined here.

Kommentar von 909998

Engineering method works Gnomische Tarnvorrichtung, Nalak despawns while Add spawns.
Now my only problem is how to survive the Add, I can not DPS him down quick enough due to long cast times and he hits me for a insane amount while ignoring my Tanking Pet despite Taunt being used.

Kommentar von Kthxbb

As a warlock, this is how I soloed it. I placed the Demonic Gateway at the top of the stairs to the middle of the courtyard. I took out Voidlord but Voidwalker probably works fine as well. I went to the courtyard, DoT the boss then immediately took the gateway to the stairs and ran into the room. Nalak followed to the room and did not despawn or anything. The Shadopan guards also attacked him as well. I used the spear right when I was a few steps away from the gateway and it worked. The add spawned, and I killed it using any and all survival cooldowns I had. Note: I tried to spear him on the initial pull but the add will not spawn. It was when I delayed the spear to a few seconds, then the add began to spawn. Took a few tries, keep at it.

Kommentar von Zabfromdurotan

Still able to be soloed 06/16/2013 at 1:30am. Popped mirror image and pulled the dragon with an arcane blast, hit him with the spear, then ran up the stairs to the pandaren guards for ToT. Be careful, if you run too far he will reset. Run to the end of the stairs where the doorway seam meets the sidewalk and let the guards aggro and pull it off you, then use cds to stay alive. popular mage cds include alter time for a health snapshot, ice barrier x 2 if you time the cd timer just right, a health pot and ice block. The add died, nalak killed me and that was that.

Kommentar von Avvara

Here's how I solo'ed it on my elemental shaman but I think it would work for any class.
1. Stand in the middle of the courtyard under Nalak, be prepared to run towards the entrance to Throne of Thunder where the guards are.
2. Aggro Nalak and run to guards until they take aggro.
3. Run back into the main courtyard and heal to full.
4. Spear Nalak and run around kiting the add until it dies.
DONE!

Kommentar von 456634

Ally Aggro ftw. Got ganked by an Ally group forming to fight Nalak. They killed me 3 times and so I sat down in Spirit form among them. We ate buff food together. Well they ate and I watched. We flasked for a mighty battle. Well ... again... I tried but I couldn't flask spiritually... no big surprise there. They engaged. I watched. They got him down to 10% health. I rezzed on the far side of the arena, threw my spear, and ran around the periphery of the room while the orb chased me and out of range of my new Alliance pals. Upon throwing the spear btw I got the hoped-for golden tether implying the orb was chasing me so no faction tag needed to complete this quest. Nalak died. I ran around half of one wall.. all of the long wall near the summoning stone and rounded my second corner just as the orb died. Bang - done. Friendly relations with the Alliance ftw. Hearthed the hell outta there and I'm on to the next leg of the quest line.

Kommentar von Bowserkills7

Just completed as a Fire Mage.
The issues I had with summoning the add were solved by hitting Nalak with an ability first, then using the spear. I don't think the spear is on the GCD, so it wasn't an issue really.

Run away, pop invisibility then kill the add as it approaches you (dont run too far away, I have had the add despawn on me doing this).

Grats on your meta gem!

Kommentar von zombyra

For blood death knights I found this to be very helpful.

-Summon your army
-Pop Vampiric Blood and ICB
-Throw Spear
-Hit with any ranged ability, I used Chains of Ice
- Run to top of stairs, move back towards the first gate of the zone, making sure you aren't out of range of the mob
-Use any healing that you need, I only needed a potion and my Rune Tap

How this helps!

Kommentar von Wilkes01

I tried to solo this a few times on my Fury Warrior using the tactics written here to no avail so I just waited for a group, hit Nalak a couple of times before throwing the spear. As soon as I was fixated I ran out of the raid and kept running, job done. Went back to help the raid finish, (thought it was the least I could do lol).

Kommentar von Bloodspeaker

Just a little something that would have really helped me as a ranged...don't forget to /target Essence of Storms. Then hit your nuke buttons and make it dead. It'll save you a lot of deaths.

Kommentar von Grummulthrus

General Solo Information for 5.3
(Since the other comments are that opaque. I mean, come on guys...seriously...a lil' info like the actual fight mechanics? Is that so much to ask?)

Bind Blitzlanze to a key.
Bind a key to /tar Essence.
Engage Nalak and do direct damage with your character. Not with a pet. Not a no-damage debuff. Direct damage. If you use the lance first, send in the pet, or open with a debuff, it bugs out and you must reset Nalak (i.e. die) to try again.
Then, and only then, use the lance. It summons an Essence of Storms on which you and only you ever have aggro: Essenz der Stürme
Kite the add. It cannot be slowed, rooted, or crowd controlled. Its health drops as you kite it, but the health decrease stops if you exit combat, vanish, or move too far. You must survive Nalak while kiting the add. Other comments about its "low" health are wrong, wrong, wrong. It has 421 million health, not 421 thousand. Don't bother to DPS it. Just run.
You must last at least 20 seconds while the add is active.
Once the add drops below about 30M health, it will die (and award credit) even if you die first.

This is extremely buggy as of 5.3. Do these steps precisely, otherwise it won't work.

I just soloed this while alliance started the fight with Nalak, i just came in the middle of the fight, DPS'ed Nalak a few time the used the lance. After about 20-30 seconds of running around, alliance killed Nalak and I got credit for the quest.

Kommentar von 1130664

For a hunter pov on how to do this it's easy~

Send pet to corner md>pet shoot nalak and start running away nalak should despawn after he kills your pet (atleast he did for me).

Kommentar von 26589

wow many posts on this.. here is what i did- first i tried it 17 times and died,, then i Google'd it and came here.. pull nalak, run up the stairs and into the room with the guards so nalak does not nuke you.. ( you can pull him WITH the spear if you want but.. when i did that it bugged. so i used the spear again and got the add .. i ran around the room kite'n him but it did not work.. I used the spear a second time and again kited the add.. this time i kept him closer and it worked.. for what its worth..by the time i got the credit for it... (within 2 min) Nalak was 75% which makes me wonder if you can kill him solo if you are healer

I'm a resto shaman and did this easily (I was in my resto spec also). In Valley of the Four Winds, I took another's player's advice and got the Salyin Battle Banner. It took 4 kills before it dropped, but this NPC spawned every hour.
NOTE: This really can work for any class that can keep themselves alive for 45 seconds, or have a pet to taunt.
I put earth shield on me, sent my Earth Elemental in to get aggro. I also dropped healing stream totem in the middle of the room. I then speared Nalak, and saw the 'angry yellow eyes on me.' I used the Salyin battle banner and Nalak despawned immediately.
The add was still up. All I had to do was kite him - the add is extremely slow. He was dead in 15 seconds and I completed the quest.
If you don't see the add spawn right away, reset and try again. The Battle banner has a 10 minute CD.

If you are a druid get feral spec (no gear is required)

1. find yourself a hunter (I went into a bg) use on him to get .
2. get to nalak cast your spear while standing under him and cast stay down until nalak despawns.
3. RUN! as long as you are in cat form the add will not reach you.
4. run until the add dies which many already have pointed out it will die by it self after awhile.

(If you do like I did and enter an bg to get feign death you will only have 1 try until you need to get it again)

Kommentar von PanzersSkywall

HUNTERS! Or Night elves, I guess

1. Stand under Nalak
2. Shoot 1 arcane shot
3. Toss spear
4. Immediately feign death and wait until boss despawn
5. Kill add (Essence, kitable)

Done! Cheers!(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

I wasn't able to get Nalak to aggro on the NPCs outside the raid zone-in today, but he did aggro on the NPCs that are around the corner to the left as you run away from him.

These were the exact steps I took on my shaman:

1) Spec resto with Astral Shift and Primal Elementalist.
2) Stand under him with Earth Elemental ready and earth shield and riptide on
3) Send pet (it couldn't reach Nalak until Nalak came down a little, but when I waited until Nalak had already been pulled, it was too late)
4) Lightning Bolt
5) Use quest item
6) Astral Shift
7) Ghost Wolf and run up the stairs
8) Once Nalak was on my elemental, I healed up and ran a little further, around the corner just past the NPCs, and waited for the quest to complete.

Running too far too fast made both Nalak and the quest mob despawn, and the quest not complete. If you're in Ghost Wolf you need to wait a little bit to let the mob catch up. You don't have to be miles away, just far enough that it can't hit you.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Pitchifus

I'm not sure how people are able to solo this right now (5.3), because the previous advice does not seem to work.

I'm a Guardian druid (ilvl 509), but there is no way to keep me alive against Nalak long enough.

I can spawn the Essence after hitting Nalak with a Faerie Fire, but if I try to Shadowmeld both Nalak AND the Essence despawn. This may have been a change, as others said in the past that the Essence would not, but the Essence certainly despawns now.

If I don't Shadowmeld and try to survive against Nalak, even with all cooldowns, food, flask, and potions I can't last 30 seconds against a raid boss.

If I try to run Nalak over to the NPCs, he puts a Lightning Tether on me which kills me in seconds. (Honestly, I don't now how solo people are avoiding that ability, as its a standard raid mechanic of him.)

My guild and realm are now dead -- no one kills Nalak -- so I feel like my 9 year quest for a feral legendary is at an end. Any further advice?

Kommentar von Sino1337

Im a warlock and this is easy.. All i did was:

1. cast lance
2. send in void walker
3. run around (where nalak is)
4. when health drops, use health stone (HoT) and unending resolve
5. use Dark Bargain
6. stay alive until the cloud dies ^^

GOOD LUCK!

(Btw, your void walker will at some point die.. i just used Flames of Xoroth, in destruction spec to revive it)

Kommentar von 1064640

Tried ten times or so solo and kept getting smoked. Along came a death knight of the opposite faction. I was just about to pull when I saw him summoning his Army of Undead. So I waited to see what he'd do. After the boss came after him, I speared Nalak and took off toward the raid entrance. Once I was up the stairs, I healed myself a little and used the /tar essence macro that has been suggested here. Then it was easy to see the essence coming at me. He moves slowly and dies quickly, so it was cake from there.

After I completed the quest, I ran back down the stairs and /thanked the poor dead death knight for his help. If you have a friend or guild mate who will take a bunch of lightening for you, I strongly suggest bringing him along.

A lot of people here down-vote a comment just because they were unable to do what others did. Maybe you should try harder before down-rating a comment, if we say we soloed it then we did :)

Kommentar von Crusi

just done this as a nelf druid.

/tar Nalak
/cast Moonfire
/use Lightning Lance
/use Shadowmeld

kite add, the end.

worked like a charm!

I've made a video for the LMG quest chain, and in it I did the Nalak part solo so you can check it out here (I did it as a Priest, using Spectral Guise):

youtu.be/B06ZrK2j8N8

The Spirit of the Storm Lord starts at 15:40

If you don't notice what I did from watching the video, it's pretty much these 4 steps:

1. Use spear on Nalak
2. Use Spectral Guise
3. After doing step 2, Nalak will despawn
4. Continue kiting the add untill it dies

Kommentar von mushy2000

Here's what I did as a Mistweaver monk Ilvl 524.

1)Throw spear at Nalak(stand at the bottom of the stairs leading up to Nalak)
2) Dampen harm, fortifying brew, life cocoon, zen meditation(glyped so you can move) and start running up the stairs.
3) When you are close to the top of the stairs, cast Xuen tiger, it will aggro Nalak.
4) Take a right hand turn when going up the stairs and start rolling until nalak despawns

Kommentar von senergize

As a Prot Warrior 500 ilvl this is how I did it as of 08/04/13

1)Heroic throw to get agro, pop shield wall and any other damage reduction cooldown you have.
2)Heroic Leap towards raid entrance.
3)Run past npc guards and around the corner (los), then wait for guards to grab agro.
4)Once guards have agro, throw spear, pop last stand, healing potion, lock cookie and anything else you have to get health back

5)Run under Nalak and put as much distance between you and him as you can without despawning him. (I ran all the way back to the first set of stairs at the start while the shadowpan were fighting him.)

6)run away from add if he gets too close. Did all this first try once I remembered to use heroic leap. 3rd death overall. might be a better way but that's what worked for me.

Kommentar von 4974

As a prot warrior (ilvl 501):

I tried tactic of pulling Nalak to the NPCs at the entrance to ToT but after many many deaths I tried something else.

Just pulled Nalak with the spear and ran back down the way I came and to the east side of stairs. Essence stayed on me and it was completed before Nalak got to me :D

I'm one happy Warrior!

Kommentar von Kittytreets

Many of you who've been able to solo Nalak, wow! Good job! BUT! If you don't really want to die over and over again, just wait around for a raid group to form. When they attack him, DPS him a couple times, throw your lance, /tar Essence, and then start DPSing the Essence add that spawns and run around to kite it. He's kinda slow so you should be fine. Once I killed the Essence I got quest completion. This worked like a charm. Sure, I wasn't awesome enough to solo Nalak and the add but I just didn't want to die over and over again trying to make it work...AND because Horde (I'm alliance) was forming a raid group for him anyway so I thought, "Why not!" It worked quickly this way if you want to save some frustration! Good luck all! I have to say, this legendary questline is pretty fun ;o)

Kommentar von sonoftime

Soloed as 515 combat rogue.

1. Use throw to pull.
2. Used Burst of Speed to reach guards.
3. Had to hit Nalak once for guards to aggro, otherwise they just stood there. So, used throw again while by guards before LoSing behind corner.
4. Once guards had aggro, used Vanish and Cloak of Shadows to drop combat, and then Burst of Speed to get away. Was at about 25% health. Nalak is still fighting guards at this point.
5. Bandaged and sat to heal up as quickly as possible.
6. Mounted up and ran back to Nalak. Threw spear. Essence spawns and follows.
7. Ran away, while chain casting Feint (to reduce any storm cloud damage).
8. Potted when I reached half health.
9. Quest completed with about 20% health left.
10. Preparation and vanished again to drop Nalak aggro.
11. Turned in quest.

Took a few tries. There is some RNG involved. Tether and/or arc ruined every attempt. As long as these don't happen, should be good to go.

Kommentar von Hortzel

You do not need any get out of combat abilities or a friend to solo this. If you can reach the top of the stairs opposite the Pandaren guards Nalak will deagro and despawn. I didn't try the side with guards because I wanted him out of combat. The spirit will stay agro to you, with a wisp of orange tethering the two of you together. He moves very slowly but did make it to the top of the steps the first time I did this, second time I just ran back down the stairs after Nalak despawned and waited in the East courtyard a few seconds until the spirit died.

I did this as a Warlock. Curse of Elements pulled Nalak, sicced my Voidwalker on him, then used Demonic Gateway to jump from under Nalak to the base of the Stairs. I immediately used my Demonic Circle to reach the top and Nalak despawned after finishing my void. Kited the spirit and done.

I tried the Void/Terrorguard/kite strategy and couldn't lose Nalak. I also have a Salyin Battle Banner but I am terrible at timing and couldn't quite drop Nalak while keeping the spirit. Topping the stairs was easier.

Kommentar von Gnarsty

Soloed as a warlock (any spec can do this). Sent in the blueberry after I threw the spear. Took my gates to clear any Nalak aggro then ran in a half circle towards the raid entrance for ToT. Put up my Dark Bargain at near death and a glyphed Healthstone combined with Dark Regeneration while it was up. Then if necessary pop UR and TW and run through either purple or green portal entrance. Saves you a certain death and you completed the quest.

Kommentar von Dire87

After finally getting an account here, I want to share the story of a mediocre warrior in patch 5.3 here who soloed this.

First of all, what does not work:

- Pulling Nalak with the spear did somehow only spawn the mob once for me, then never again, so maybe you don't want to waste your time with that. Nalak will also despawn pretty quickly this way apparently, which brings us to
- Despawning Nalak also despawns the add (apparently) nowadays
- Spearing Nalak while running away from him will put the spawned add too far away from you and it will take ages to catch up and not die...it seems to only lose health when it is close to you.

As many have said before, dpsing the add is a waste of time.

This quest had me on the edge of killing off some hardware. It was so frustrating. I am reasonably well geared in my main specc (Arms) for a LFR only warrior, but my tanking specc is rather lacking.
Still, I believe it is nigh impossible to do this as a DPS Warrior, so we will assume you have a tanking specc and gear.

What you want to have:
- Tanking specc
- At least a shield
- At least 550,000 HP
- Talent: Second Wind
- Glyph: Glyph of Enraged Speed (not mandatory)
- Master Healing Potions
- Healthstones (if you can get some anywhere)
- Buff Food
- Any buffs you can get your hands on of course (but we assume no outside help whatsoever)

Strategy:

- Position yourself between Nalak and the Shado-Pan guards behind him (the ones in front of the raid portal to ToT)
- Put on the gear with maximum HP (and do NOT forget the shield)
- Use Commanding Shout and eat your buff food
- Wait until Commanding Shout is off cool down, then use it again for the pull (you want the 20 or so rage)
- Try to find the best spot to use Heroic Throw and run like hell towards the guards
- Do NOT get hit by Nalak's melee swing or you might just as well die...he hits you for about 150,000+ from behind and you cannot block or parry while running away, only dodge. You also do not want to tank him...I don't think you would survive the trip running backwards. Maybe with a lot of cool downs and trinkets...but let's assume you don't have the best gear ;)
- Use Heroic Leap to get some distance between you and Nalak...
- Use Shield Barrier to soak up the magic damage coming your way (do that whenever you have rage, as you will not need the rage for anything else...use your shouts and berserker rage if necessary, but if you can keep this buff up, it will make all of the difference)
- Pop your Berserker rage to become enraged and run 20% faster (you may also have the speed enchantment on boots, which would also be great)
- You are constantly getting hit by Static Shield I think it is...anyway it's magic damage, so avoidance won't help you here at all
- Use Shield Wall if necessary. Maybe you will also already need Last Stand. That depends on luck, skill and HP I'd say
- Run past the guards and around the corner out of line of sight of Nalak. He will be picked up by the guards. Now you only have limited time remaining, not concerning your survivability and if you mess up you will have to wait for quite some time for the guards to respawn...
- Use bandages if you have, as long as you did not yet get hit by Stormcloud
- Once you're ready run in sight and use the spear on Nalak. Now the add will spawn. You will likely have Stormcloud on you, so run back around the corner and wait for the add to get closer (as long as you can, but do not get hit or you're dead). It moves very slowly and it takes about 20 seconds to die...20 agonisingly long seconds. Pull it around the little room and stay out of line of sight for as long as possible. Second Wind should keep your health high enough combined with everything else I've said once you are below the threshold. With enough max HP it should be enough to survive. If not use your healthstone and or healing pot and pop any cds that are available.
- You should be done once you have made a 3/4 circle of the room, kiting the add and sticking as close to the walls as possible
- Escape via the portal to the Shado-Pan Assault lair

You should now have the charged lance and can be on your way with the legendary.
Pro Tip: If you're good, unlike me, you can also intervene to one of your banners. I am always to slow for that and then Nalak gets in my view, so it's not worth it for me. I would need to play in ego perspective maybe...well

Hope this helps anyone still having trouble with him...there aren't so many people killing him on my server anymore, so it takes quite a while to find a group and you want to finish that quest asap to get you started on yet another grind...sigh

Out

Alliance Night Elf Arms Warrior- Level 90

I was able to do this quest while the Horde was fighting Nalak.
I simply ran down while they were fighting him.
Hit him once with an ability.
Threw the Lance at him.
Used my /tar Essence marco.
Kited him around Nalak.
Got credit for it and left!

Easy as pie.

Kommentar von 1078332

The warlock who said to use the demonic gateway...THANK YOU! I put one under nalak and one near the stairs. I hit the gateway and ran out of there as soon as i used the spear. I never even saw the add. I turned around to look just past the top of the stairs. As I turned I got credit for it. Good luck. That was so much easier than the Sha amalgamation. Ugh! Good luck!

Kommentar von Thalloren

Personally, I had trouble getting the strategy to work of breaking threat with Nalak (through Greater Invis, Shadowmeld, etc.) but still keeping the Essence on me. Every time I tried, the Essence simply despawned with Nalak. So, if you're also having trouble with that, here's a strategy that worked for me as a mage, and may work for other classes who have similar abilities:

1) Throw the spear at Nalak FIRST. I don't know if they changed something from 5.2 or what, but throwing the spear first WILL spawn the Essence if you're basically standing underneath him. When I tried throwing the spear later, it wasn't working.
2) Hit him with some sort of damaging skill, probably a DoT. (I used Nether Tempest.) Then, I spawned my Mirror Images; basically, anything that can pull Nalak off of you for 10 seconds or so. You MUST have done some damage before spawning the images, or else threat won't properly transfer to them, or at least not necessarily.
3) Turn around and get the hell out of there. I Blinked away immediately up the stairs, with the Essence following me, refreshing Ice Barrier if it was down.
4) When Nalak finished off my images and my elemental and caught up with me, I Ice Blocked. That gave enough time for the lance to finish off the Essence. After that, Nalak killed me because I couldn't get far enough away to despawn him, but it was enough, since I got the Essence!
5) Cauterize may also be helpful, though it didn't kick in for me until after the Essence was gone.

This should work for any mage (even without being Frost spec), and may also work for other classes if properly adapted.

Kommentar von healingenzo

1. Wait for a group to pull Nalak - preferably your own faction, unless you like flagging.
2. run in & throw spear
3. keep away from ghost.

0 aggro on Nalak & the ghost runs slower than anyone - you just need to stay our of the corners & out of Nalak's AOE.

Very, very simple. No DPS, No heals, No sweat.

Kommentar von Draewind

Resto Shaman --

I stood under Nalak and deployed my Earth Elemantal and ordered him to attack Nalak. He couldn't but he was ready when Nalak came into range. I then lightning bolt and used the Lightning Lance on Nalak ... immediately shifting to Ghost Wolf and running to entrance of Throne of Thunder. I was planning on letting the NPC's there tank Nalak (do not run any farther than the last NPC). I had Earth Shield up on myself, but still had to stop at the bottom of the steps to heal. At that point my Earth Elemental got aggro on Nalak. When the Earth Elemental died, Nalak reset and the quest NPC was still there focused on me. I ran down the steps and took a left turn. Before I got to the left wall, the NPC for the quest died and I received the Tempered Lightning Lance.

Kommentar von 1123984

just soloed this and it was pretty messy lol.

I shot one lightning bolt at nalak then used the spear, i used a ancestral guidance/spiritwalker's grace/astral shift macro then pulled nalak to the shado pan up the stairs from the troll then nalak killed me but he aggroed the guards and when i resed i used the spear again and for some reason nalak despawned after that then i just simply kited the essence.

also i gave up using the earth elemental because he wasn't seeming to get threat on nalak, idk why

Kommentar von 1066931

Here was my successful technique to solo as a nightelf druid.

Pre-Settings:
* My character has iLevel 510 gear. You could probably get by with less if you are really good with timing and running. I took a couple of hits, so I was glad I was higher iLevel.

* I am guardian (tank) spec (see above for reasons why this might not be necessary.)

* ESSENTIAL: I took the "Force of Nature" talent, to give myself some pets. The pet MUST taunt Nalak for this to work. If feral and moonkin treants taunt it should work for both specs, but restoration treants definitely don't taunt. So this won't work with restoration.

* Make sure you can see the target of the target (interface option setting) so you can watch the health of your treants.

Start the Fight:
*Put Nalak on /focus.
*Pull Nalak with spear
*Drop ONE treant (/cast force of nature), make sure you target NALAK don't switch to the Essence.
*Run away from the essence. I ran in a big circle around Nalak, far enough away to avoid his aoe.
*Wait until your treant dies, then cast force of nature again.
*Repeat until the spear is charged, you'll get a quest finished notice.

Be careful with your treant. The treant taunts Nalak away and keeps him busy but if you accidentally change your target to the essence, the treant may also change target. So keep target on Nalak.

I did attempt to run away from Nalak after the spear was charged. It didn't work. Neither did shadowmelding. Nalak kept aggro even after a shadowmeld (perhaps with the right timing, maybe after the treant had been dead for awhile, it might have worked, but it didn't work for me.) So you may have to plan on a death, but the quest will be done.

Kommentar von baaboo

What worked for me to solo as priest in 5.4 patch:
Spec for Spectral Guise.
Stand near Nalak, cast shield, pull by using the spear -> cast Shadowfiend & Fade immediately after
-> pop Spectral Guise & kite around the courtyard, making sure to not run too far from the add linked to you with golden line.
I didn't test if you could simply skip the Fiend+Fade portion, but at least this did work.
The combatlog was basically like: Nalak did 1 attack to kill fiend, 2 to kill the shadow guises, 2 50k ticks on me from his Lightning Shield, and then he despawned.

Kommentar von 1038103

FYI your faction doesnt need to have the tag to do this quest so u can throw spear even if Narlak is grey and still complete the quest

Kommentar von Luvetospooge

Tried to solo a few times, mainly died before i could do anything, a few times i got into the guards near ToT entrance but still Nalak showed me who's boss. And the Guards, they didn't last long against Nalak either :-)

Used Nitro Boost to get to the guards and the cloak of invisibility to try and drop out of combat. Nothing worked for me! I did see the add, and ran round with him but couldnt live long enough even in blood, got close a few times.

Finally some kind player turned up and added me and another guy to his group. He took aggro and pulled Nalak into the guards, we lanced him and ran the other way with the add.

Impressed with the kindness of this guy as most in Wow now are seemingly ignorant or just rage especially in LFR! Well they seem to be or maybe im bumping into the wrong people!

I tipped him 100g for his trouble. Many thanks kind stranger, i forget your name but you helped 150%.

Kommentar von benx2011

If you are a DK, you can solo this as well.

1. Make sure you dont have Ausgebrannte Glyphe equipped.
2. Summon Army of the Dead, use any presence other than Blood Presence.
3. throw a lance, then run away from Nalak. do not atk or do anything else
4, the army of the zombies will taunt and start attacking the boss, when all the ghouls die, Nalak will disappear.
5. just run around until the spirit dies. maybe around 20 seconds.

Kommentar von parisinthespring

I was able to solo this quest just a few minutes ago on my Shadow Priest. In case anyone wants to try my way, I'll try to write in detail how I did it:

1. I started with buffing up, and went with Inner Will over Inner Fire, for the increased movement-speed. I've also specced Body and Soul, so that my Holy Shield increases my movement. The last thing I did was to cast Prayer of Mending on myself before pulling.

2. With the pull itself, I used Shadow Word: Pain to aggro Nalak. I rushed towards the raid-entrance, and had the increased speed thanks to Inner Will and Holy Shield, I also used my shadowfiend and fade, to get nalak off my back, and make it to the raid entrance.

3. Nalak first aggroed the guards, but came for me. Here I used Dispersion and then had Fade go off CD, so I could use it again.

4. Nalak was now fighting the guards, and I healed up some of the dmg I had taken, and I used the spear on him. Nalak still had aggro on the guards, and I had to run around kiting the add that spawned, and could use Fade a third time during this part, to not have to worry about Nalak.

5. The elemental died by itself, and I only kept distance from it. I then used the teleport to the cave (which is near the entrance) and hearthstoned away.

Hope it will work for anyone else trying. :) I had to try this 3-4 times myself before I was lucky enough to get it to work. Sometimes Fade is more effective and sometimes Nalak will go after you even if he has guards on him. So bring some luck and keep trying!

Kommentar von 1078810

Finally got up to the quest and now it seems the Isle is a dead location. And getting a group seems nearly impossible. Wow needs to do something to make this easier to do now that nobody wants to go near the Isle.

I have attempted to do this quest many times solo (521 combat rogue), using all the advice in other posts and just keep getting owned.

Kommentar von jumbles

As of 5.4 not many people are killing Nalak, so you have a few alternatives.

The point is that you do not have to kill Nalak and you can still fail this if you do.

You have to throw the spear into Nalak and then avoid the essence that chases you. If you cannot see it, look for the golden line that links it to you.

At this point Nalak does not matter. You can kite Nalak to the guards and they will take him, you can even Feign Death as a hunter and let him respawn (the essence will not despawn).

What YOU have to do is kite the Essence, it will continually lose health and also damage you. If you have any damage reduction CDs, use them. Shields, Deterrence etc. Also slowing effects on the essence or speed boost for you to get you out of range. Once it dies, you get the Tempered Lightning Lance.

If you do this while a group is fighting Nalak, you still have to outrun the essence, or have a good healer to keep you alive.

Kommentar von Adraunn

Death Knights! For Patch 5.4 (and bear in mind, I'm unsure if this was an adjustment since previous patches), you cannot leave the square where you find Nalak. Here's how I just beat this (which you can one-shot if you're careful):

1. Summon Army of the Dead.
2. Death Grip Nalak (ensure that you have the Glyph of Tranquil Grip) to begin the encounter; your army should then start to attack and eventually gain aggro.
3. Chuck the spear, use your Anti-Magic Shell, watch your health carefully using a Master Healing Potion if need be.
4. Stay inside the square while your pets tickle Nalak and you begin kiting the Essence of Storms.
5. Once your pets are dead and you're running along the outer edge of the square, Nalak should despawn and the Essence will remain focused on you. You should not take any further damage than the initial blasts from Nalak.

I was about half-way around the square before the encounter ended and I received credit for the quest.

** This is a fairly tricky pull but it's definitely doable. Don't bother with guards, don't bother with portals, just pull, Army, spear, and kite. Took about 30 seconds to complete.

Kommentar von thumpper

For a healy monk, it's not bad if you know what you are doing. I had to have a friend explain it to me. :)

Make sure you have the Invoke Xuen talent. Target Nalak, hit Invoke then run up towards the entrance to ToT. The Panda's will keep Nalak busy until the add spawns. Then simply run around.

Also, something I haven't seen mentioned that probably would be helpful. To get to Nalak after you are done with the Sha part, you have to leave the instance. I kept trying the stupid portal that doesn't work, then tried to run to Nalak's location and was told I was abandoning my mission, blah blah. So leave the instance first. :)

Good luck!

Kommentar von katherinne

Just completed this with two (I'm a healer), no one wanted to kill him in a raid since everyone was on Timeless Isle.

Guild DK kited him to the guards in front of ToT, I threw the lance as soon as he got aggro and started kiting (Wrathion says you have to wait until he is almost dead, not true).

Then just ran around the courtyard, the thing despawned in about thirty seconds and lance appeared in bag, I converted group to raid, bubbled and ran in ToT before he killed me. Then just hearthed back.

Kommentar von 1147157

After a little aggravation, here's my strat. Worked perfect both times I've done it post 5.4

1) Head to ToT Entrance Steps and face Nalak

2) Get close enough in range to chuck the spear and start heading directly back towards ToT. Nalak will despawn and leave the add there.
- NOTE: I've gone about 1/2 way up the stairs, or all the way to the Guards to get this to work.

At this point, just run around the inner room until he disappears and boom. You're done.

Kommentar von Elusiv3

Sorry to repeat others, but as a destro lock ilvl 516 I found this worked for me.
1- Go directly under him. Have all your spells on cooldown - especially Sacrificial Pact, Soulshatter, Healthstones- and hit him with a FelFlame/Conflagrate. You must hit first, don't send your pet.
2- He targets you. IMMEDIATELY have Voidwalker attack him ---> Soulshatter---->Throw Lance at him--->Sacrificial Pact + a Healthstone. Keep an Ember for Ember tap as a last resort.
3- From here on it's easy. Just run southwards, from where the raids usually start. RUN. Survive. The Storm thingie will not evade cos of distance, it will follow you. Just survive till it's under 30 mil xp (kudos to Grummulthrus for this VERY important information) and you're good.
Basically keep aggro off you, run and survive. Soz for my bad English.

Kommentar von Melandroso

Reading the comments below, I try to solo this using a combination of my own CD's and Schlachtbanner von Salyis I pull Nalak, I use the Lance, I get the Orange Eyes on me, I pop the Banner and Nalak despawns and the Orange eyes disappear :(

Also, Earth Elemental was useless to me (untalented)

Kommentar von patapsco

For mages of any gear level: Stand directly under him, use the lance, pop mirror images, blink towards the entrance of Throne Of Thunder (literally right by the instance portal), stand around until the quest completes, teleport to the Vale Shrine of your faction, get your legendary meta. If you stand directly under him, you get more time to get distance between yourself and the add

Kommentar von 1040064

I donno what went wrong, but there's NO ADDs chasing me, only Nalak. when I kite nalak to the courtyard, he dispawn, but still no adds.

Kommentar von Dezward

THIS WAY CAN SOLO EASILY FOR ANY CLASS
1. Get the junk item from the saurok scout in Vot4W.
2. Go to Nalak
3. Stick the Spear in him
4. Face him and use the item.
5. Run like a little girl from the elemental thing.
6. Enjoy your gem.

Kommentar von 902820

Managed to solo this as a class without a vanish/drop-aggro ability (fury warrior). I grabbed some Condensed Jademist from the Timeless Isle and made the following macro:

/use Lightning Lance
/use Condensed Jademist

I popped any defensive cooldowns I had, pulled with a damaging ability (heroic throw), then used the macro and immediately starting running back to the stairs leading out of the area, towards the rest of the island. Nalak despawned, but the add was chasing me. I kited it until it died and completed the quest.

It took me 2 attempts. The second time, I allowed a slight delay (about a second or two) between pulling and using the macro. This ensures you definitely damage Nalak first, which is vital.

Kommentar von Mookosh

Can anyone provide a solo strat that works for a warrior with no combat drop ability. The only one's Ive seen here that are effective require using Schattenmimik or being a Gnomish engineer with a Gnomische Tarnvorrichtung

The only others I've seen involve using the Shad-Pan guards near the ToT portal. And every time I try, they will not aggro until Nalak debuffs me with Sturmwolke. Between that and Lightning Tether, he just plain kills me even through defensive cooldowns. On top of that I've noticed the add itself wont follow me any longer once I reach the top of the stairs so I'm not getting credit for siphon time on him even if I could get the SP guards to distract Nalak.

Kommentar von Borgyworgy

For those who may be completing this in 5.4, or post 5.3. If you find that your faction has already discovered the foot of lei shen and you haven't received credit for it in your quest the character doing the quest must have completed all of the Solo scenarios on the Thundering Isle up to and including The Fall of Shan Bu. Happy hunting! :)

Kommentar von Zahniya

For Frost Mages out there, this is how I did this part of the Legendary Quest;

Summon Water Elemental/Mirror Image and let it/them attack to gain aggro.
Throw Spear
Kite the mob around using Blink and Blazing Speed
Use Greater Invisibility when/if you gain aggro from Nalak.

Nalak will despawn but the mob will still be following you. Then just wait. :)

Kommentar von Trialzero

As a Monk, i was able to solo this by just using Xuen den Weißen Tiger beschwören and letting Xuen tank him for a bit. When Xuen died, Nalak despawned but the quest mob was still alive and chasing me, so it sort of works the same as an aggro drop like vanish, so long as you do not heal yourself, or damage Nalak at all before Xuen dies

Kommentar von nashoh

Just throwed the spear a little bit ahead of the stairs (just to get in range). Went back to Shado Pan Enforcers. Nalak despawned inmediately and the Essence of Storms came right to me. He wasn't able to hit me and i got the Lance charged.

Kommentar von 1149668

For DKs trying to solo this:

1) Don't use blood presence
2) Stand behind Nalak
3) Summon Army
4) Cast Dark Command (taunt), nothing else, dont dot, dont do damage
5) If you are undergeared pop some defensive because you will eat 1 or 2 hits before Army aggros boss
6) As soon as you lost aggro use the lance quest item and when the Essence is following you (you'll have an orange beam) start running to the guards at the entrance of the Throne of thunder raid.
7) Switch to blood presence to mitigate some damage. Nalak should despawn by now.
8) Kite the Essence around the room for 20 secs or less and you are done.

Kommentar von darkrideer

Ok for DK's who have at least a Blood off spec this is how I did it my first try.
First went into blood drunk a stam buff flask.
Then go to bottom of stairs target Nalak, pop army throw spear.
Run back up the stairs heal as needed an keep moving till its over.
That's it I have all dps gear so I needed to heal more then a true tank so I brought some healing potions. This ones a piece of cake.

Good Luck

Kommentar von 695025

As of today, it seems they fixed the whole kiting-Nalak-away method. I ran very, very far from him and he did not reset until I was dead (I made it all the way down the first half of the steps to the southwest). Looks like you'll have to get someone to kite him from you so you can spear him without aggro... :/ I tried many of the steps people provided and nothing worked.

EDIT: OKAY so I had to pop my Invoke Xuen (on my monk) throw the spear at him and then run through ALL the guards so that they ALL aggro to him. When Xuen dies your aggro with Nalak will hopefully get dropped but the guards will be keeping him busy. you must stand still near the guards long enough for the add to spawn when the spear is channeled, and THEN proceed to run in a big circle.

I would also like to add I couldn't figure out why my "unlock the foot of lei shen" wasn't completing despite the isle having been fully opened. Make sure you finish all the scenario chains on the isle of thunder, and when you turn in the last one, it will complete.

Kommentar von Dannalar

As a Warlock I simple threw spear, let voidwalker take aggro, back away abit til it died, put up a soulstone just in case and be ready to re summon voidwalker if it's taking too long.

Kommentar von danandijvie

I hear a lot of people complaining about not being able to kite Nalak. I don't know why is that, because I kited him successfully without ANY effort. At first I tried to put up a shield and use defensive cooldowns to last enough for the mob to come to me, but Nalak would kill me. Then I just stood at the max range of the spear, almost on top of the stairs, threw it and started backing out. Nalak disappeared after a couple steps, but the mob remained. I just waited till it died and I got the quest credit. If you keep running the quest mob will despawn soon after Nalak, so as soon as you see Nalak disappear just stop in place for a little while.

Kommentar von glycereth

This is how you solo this boss the way it should:

1. Get yourself some nature resist or all resist potions, use them before you engage and wait for the cd to come back up.(optional)
2. Try to use a spec/potion that gives you some sort of speed boost to get away from Nalak from the pull.(definitely needed)
3. Run towards the 4 guards at the entrance of ToT.
4. Stand in the middle of the first 4 guards and wait for Nalak to cast Storm Cloud on you.
5. Once Storm Cloud debuff is on you, the guards will react and aggro on to Nalak.
6. Do NOT heal at all before the guards gain aggro!
7. Use spear on Nalak while Nalak is casting Storm Cloud.
8. Make use of the entire room to kite the add(if you can't kill the add with ranged), it will 2 shot you.
9. Beware not to accidentally run into the 2 portals! It will reset the fight entirely!

You might get a few deaths before getting it right! Just remember not to heal until guards get aggro, once you heal before any guards can hold aggro, you are as good as dead!

Kommentar von Daedaluz2005

can confirm as of 5.4 the the kite and drop agro trick still works. if you think the adds are not popping, they probably are, you are still focused on nalak. this drove me nuts til i figured out what i was doing. to fix this: macro /tar ess to your attack button.

1.) target nalak, throw spear
2.) while strafing, spin around enough to face beam and hit your attack button.
3.) drop aggro off nalak by running out and up stairs.

the add will follow out, nalak will not.

Kommentar von nshorekev

Having difficulties on this one...any suggestions for a WW monk?

Kommentar von 1148268

As a windwalker monk I pulled with Chi Wave, summoned Xuen to take aggro from me, used the spear and then rolled away to the platform where you enter the yard Nalak is in. Nalak despawned after Xuen died because I was already out of range. Static shield nearly killed me, so I would have faired much better if I had specced to Diffuse Magic. Someone from guild suggested to kite Nalak towards guards for them to aggro it so I first tried that, and died before they got aggro.

Kommentar von Budz

Wow, that took a while. As a Prot Pally...

1. Pulled at max range with Holy Prism (note 40 yard range, instead of 30 like most abilities).
2. Used Speed of Light to get back to Shado Pan guards near the ToT entrance asap.
3. Once the guards aggroed (Nalak uses his AOE pretty soon), used Hand of Salvation so that Nalak attacked the guards instead of me.
4. Ran underneath Nalak, using the Blitzlanze now. Popped Divine Shield as I went, to stay alive. Not sure if this was necessary. Lots of flashing lights made me think it was.
5. Ran out into the courtyard, where Nalak came from. I noticed that the orange chain was still on me, meaning the add was still chasing.
6. Kept running. I could have used a health pot or healthstone at this point, as my health was at about 10%. If I hadn't already used DS, a Lay on Hands would've been nice.
7. Got the tempered staff sooner than I thought. This time, anyway, after ~20 attempts.

Hope this was helpful. Was about to attempt it using the Schlachtbanner von Salyis, but it was on cooldown, so I gave it a shot without. Bit curious now...

Kommentar von Zinovia

I completed this last night, along with a rogue I ran into who was trying to do the same thing. We grouped up and decided to pull Nalak over to the Pandaren guards standing in the doorway to the left of Nalak's room as you run out. Two people can complete this at once.

We found that if you sprint away from him too quickly, Nalak will despawn.
If you gain too much threat with healing or dps, Nalak will stay on you and kill you.

The rogue pulled, and moved (not too fast) up the stairs and made sure that Nalak's AE hit the Pandaren guards, who started attacking Nalak. We were each able to use our Lances, and then kite the Essences around Nalak's normal room until the lances were empowered. Then Nalak came and melted our faces, but it was done! Thank you to those who posted various suggestions in this thread.

Kommentar von PrairieChicken

Works in 5.4

Throw spear at nalak at maximum range right after the stairs

Go up the stair (not too fast, just enough time for add to spawn), nalak despawns but add remains

Run around and you are done

Kommentar von Mirhako

Just did this as a feral druid. had a friend group his hunter with me and used Symbiosis, giving me fake death. Tosses spear at Nalak, FD, kited the mob and completed it.

Kommentar von 1168998

Warrior Solo

I did this with second wind talent which helps keep you alive through the storm cloud debuff

Start by facing Nalak with your back to the ToT entrance (at the base of the stairs) and throw the spear, the spear gives enough range distance to engage and survive and this is just to pull, don't worry about the add just yet as it will probably despawn anyway.

Run back towards the guards and wait, if Nalak despawns then you ran too quickly, then try it again but the add will almost always despawn unless you're lucky, this is fine because all you want is the guards to aggro Nalak.

Once Nalak is busy on the guards run back into the courtyard and you'll have about 20secs left on your spear cool down, throw spear again and kite the add by staying in the courtyard. You should complete the quest while Nalak is still fighting the guards.

Kommentar von Glenmorgan

Allright, done it solo, enh shammy 529 ilvl, u can do it when u are not a hunter or rouge....

1. go almost under nalak.
2. put earth elemental (i got primal so might not work with the regular one).
3. throw spear and run a bit to the edge of stairs.
4. earth elemental should enage nalak and you should only get some minor dmg. i quickly cast feral spirit (improved by a glyph) to get my health back.
5. in a meantime you should get a spawn mob following you.
6. earth elemental should do it for copule of secs but when it dies u should do everything to survive, so i put astral shift as soon as it died. next i run a bit to the left as the spawned mob was approaching. put healing tide totem and used life spirit (or u can pop a bottle).
7. by that time you should get your spear done! ...and next you die!
8. it was my fourth try, but i did it and i think i could fight through few more secs if needed.

none of the tips mentioned in other post confirmed, about mob not spawning or attacking nalak first before either throwing spear or puting earth elemental on.

good luck

Kommentar von Miztahchipz

For those who did this late (post patch 5.4) &/or are not a Shaman, DK, or Warrior and wondering how you're going to do this without a group, help, or a miracle...

**** PLEASE READ THIS! **** If you're not sure if you can do this solo due to your class or abilities, the answer is YES YOU CAN! I did it solo and I'm a lowly Arcane Mage!

Go to the north set of stairs (just north of Nalak). Turn and face Nalak. All you have to do is get close enough to throw the lance at Nalak, turn back around and run north up the stairs. Do NOT run too far! Before you even get to the top of the stairs Nalak will disappear and an elemental add will be left instead with the gaze beam still on you!

The add loses health without you attacking it or kiting it or anything! Once its health reaches zero you will have created your Tempered Lightning Lance and completed this part of the quest line!

I personally found it was easiest to go to the top of the stairs first just so I knew where I was going. Then I went back to throw the lance at Nalak. When I did, I turned and ran up the stairs BUT I reversed my camera angle 180 degrees so I could see Nalak as I was running in a straight line away from him**

**The advantage here was I could see Nalak as I was running AND when he disappeared leaving only the add in his place with the beam on me!

Based on other comments here I thought I would have to go back down the stairs and then kite the add around until the timer/health of the add ran out. NOT SO! Instead I was able to just stand there. The timer/health ran out and without any significant fanfare I noticed my Tempered Lightning Lance had been created and I could head back to see the Black Prince again.

This was incredibly easy, especially after all the times I died in the forge chamber just before this part of the quest line. I was so happy that I could do it on my own without even dying, and without doing any fighting or kiting, that I just had to share with others who might be unsure if they can do it alone.

However... there's still a ways to go in the quest chain. I believe you have to finish the 3rd & 4th acheivements in this line before you get the legendary cloak and then finally get to visit the rest of Timeless Isle.

Kommentar von Monok

Warlock solo...

Talents:
Sacrificial Pact
Grimoire of Supremacy

Pet: Voidlord

0) Soulstone
1) Place gate at foot of stairs to below Nalak
2) Place Demonic Circle at top of stairs
3) Throw lance at Nalak
4) Step into Demonic Gateway
5) Use Demonic Circle
5) Use Sacrificial Pact, Healthstone if low
6) Slowly walk away until the spawned mob dies
7) Profit

Can likely be done other ways - but this is what I did. Nailed it on the first try!

Kommentar von ckdss

This pertains to soloing in 5.4

So after trying everything and combing through three pages of comments and dying 29 times with red gear I figured out my mistake to soloing this.

Don't throw the spear from the stairs you enter his chamber from (south). I was on the wrong stairs.

Go to the north stairs (where the portal zones you too, the entrance to ToT) and then throw the spear, walk backwards three steps (up the stairs between the defensive barriers) and then Nalak will despawn immediately with the add still engaged. Kite the add and enjoy loot.

I hope this helps as I have been vanishing and resetting for an hour before realizing my mistake.

Kommentar von Miztahchipz

*** Soloing 5.4 continued...

Please read my full comment 3 down from this one. It contains the details needed for nearly anyone to solo this regardless of your skill and gear... nearly, lol. Its very easy to do and most get it on their first try.

Somehow the person who left the next comment missed the part about the North stairs. I must not have been clear. I kind of feel bad about that, so I'm leaving this one to encourage others to still check my original out.

Wanted to pay it forward for all the help all of you have given me over the years. Just trying to help out as well. Good luck everyone, I'll see ya on the inside. Woot!

Kommentar von datgrl

As of 10/21/13, the Hunter tricks listed in the quest comments no longer work. Things like shadowmeld or feigning death will just get you killed. You'll need to tag him while he's engaged by a group and then run like mad once you get the beam attached so you can avoid the mob. You don't have to be in the raid group that has Nalak engaged. You just have to tag him with the lance.

Kommentar von angusmac

OK... Soloed as a Prot Pally patch 5.4

My thanks to all the previous posters esp Dire87

Full prot spec (secondary spec so gear around the i470 mark) - Righteous Fury off
Stood halfway up the northern stairs
Cast the lance at Nalak
Walk backwards into the ToT room almost to the portal but not quite
Guards picked up Nalak and eventually they died
Nalak then killed me BUT by then the lance had charged already
Resurrect and Back to Wrathion to hand in quest.

Kommentar von lordhagar

I'm a DK, I had a Lock pull Nalak With his pet and run away like hell. I stood underneath Nalak and threw the spear right after pet aggroed and I just ran around in the room for 10 secs with the mob after me (Nalak chased the pet) and quest was completed!

Kommentar von Vomitory

Still works as of this post (on a rogue). Stand as far away as you can, throw the spear, stand still so the add forms and Nalak despawns. Laugh and just back up a little at a time while he dies on his own.

Kommentar von Thothra

I just tried this today and I died like 6 times :-( the one time he despawned i waited and nothing happened. Did i miss something? Did i miss the memo? HELP!

~Frustrated

Kommentar von 1119145

unless you have a method of de-aggro'ing nalak such as feign death, invis, phantasm etc, nalak WILL NOT despawn. plan accordingly.

Kommentar von mewmewface

ok so as a priest i died several times because i didnt know what to do. was on shadow and that didnt work for some reason.

went to disc spec, did use body and soul to run when i first threw my spear at him, then i spectral guised. dont attempt to pull him out of the area cause he will reset. when u throw ur spear at him he will turn into this mage minion looking thing, he'll be called essence of terror. then just let that essence die (didnt seem to do any damage to me, it seemed to drain of life slowly and just disappeared while attempting to come toward me) and you will see that you "received the lance".

now i wonder where to turn in this quest..frankly i dislike doing quests for wrathion.

Kommentar von skitsnakk

So I did this on my monk a sec ago. And this is how I did it.

First of: Im monk mw, ilvl 537.

I pulled down Nalak with Crackling Jade Lightning.
Then I used the spear.
Then I popped Life Cocoon, Zen sphere and Dampen Harm on myself and started to run towards ToT entrance.

When I reached the Shado-Pan Enforcers I realised my healing spells went out one by one so I just summoned a lot of healing spheres in front of myself the last seconds before the add died.

Remember that Nalak still hurt like sh*t even if the Shado-Pan Enforcers have the aggro, so be sure to heal yourself a lot and kite around the spells Nalak puts on the ground.

Kommentar von 105402

Just did this solo in 5.4.1:

Used the lance on Nalak and he despawned, the lightning add focused on me normally, i kited it until it died. Quest complete.

Kommentar von skyline33

This add would not spawn for me. Nalak would chase me all the way to the portal of ToT before attack and killing me.

I left my raid group and he despawned almost instantly and the add spawned no problem! Back peddling to the entrance of ToT worked amazingly too.

Im guessing the adds attack is a 30 yard range? Since at 35-40 I was able to cast Holy Prism but he couldn't attack me

Kommentar von 1197855

This is not solo-able. As soon as you vanish the add disappears so you cant kite something that is not there. This goes for you peeps saying you kited him back to the entrance and Nalak vanished but the add remained? Impossible seeing as they are tied together. People do not waist your time with this unless your in a raid group. These folks come on here and get your hopes up and then you waist your time trying to get the gem. It will not happen. Just ask Blizzard. This quest is not solo-able. I have tried this with rogue, mage, lock, priest, hunter and pali. Think about it, the quest says that you have to survive long enough to siphon his power, this means the add siphoning power from Nalak. How can this happen if they both are not present.
Please head my warning and ignore the trolls wasting your time.

Kommentar von 1148262

I just soloed this one as monk (soloed quest not kill) What you need to is to place copy yourself in somewhere and then make sure you have roll abilities let you run fasters away.

Then use spear -> RUN like hell on earth -> use rolls and then when its just going catch you -> use teleport -> run -> use self healing abilities that are instand -> run -> you will die eventually -> around 1min 42s was my survival time and quest was marked as done.

If you are not monk or class with speed thinks then you i recommend getting warlock that can make jump portal. Jump between those. (and usually warlocks will help if they guildies or you just pay them with some gold).

This tactic WILL not get you nalak kill, it will only get your legantary quest done. If you want get kill you still need get raid grp for that and quest can be done there too but just remember that nalak will start chasing you after you use spear. And you still need survive.

Kommentar von DeniseNY

I read through here and tried some of the suggestions here and as a frost mage, this is what worked for me:

I set up a 2 macros as follows:

/use Lightning Lance
/use Greater Invisibility

Then set up at macro for:

/tar Essence of Storms

I started the fight by having my pet attack Nalak. As the bossed headed down towards my pet, I strafed right, dropped a Nether Tempest on him and then hit my Lightning Lance macro followed by the Essence of Storms macro. Boss disappeared but the add followed me and I just ran around till he died. He's easy to avoid and dies pretty quickly despite the large HP.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Helped me a lot!

Kommentar von Jagwatoof

Just did this a minute ago:

Throw spear at Nalak.
Target essence.
Vanish (use Condensed Jademist if you don't have a race/class vanish).
Nalak will despawn before the essence does.
As soon as Nalak despawns, remove the vanish. I used an action to damage the essence but I imagine you can cancel your vanish buff (/cancelaura macro prob quickest way to do the latter).
Stay out of melee range of essence, watch its life go down, quest complete.

You don't have to try to kite Nalak anywhere, or do damage to him, or have a pet.

Kommentar von 1153757

Incredibly easy to solo without taking any damage and without using any special items as any class.

Go to the northern-most steps leading up to ToT, put Nalak as your focus, inch forward until you can throw the spear at nalak, then start running up the stairs towards ToT until your focus clears and Nalak despawns (but dont run any further or the add will despawn), now it is just you, the large nalak area, and the kite add.

Kite it for a bit and you complete the quest.

Kommentar von Taus

I was running into an issue I didn't really see in the comments. I was kiting him back to the room as described, but something else happened before I got the timing right - the add despawned, but the dargon did not. I didn't realize this, and after a few minutes of keeping myself alive it occurred to me the add was gone. I hit the dargon with the lance again, and the add respawned - so keep that lance on your action bar.

Kommentar von Sarkoeilia

Tried several advices written down here. Didn't work for me (2013-12-12). What did work was the following (to solo it):

- get as close to the north stairs as you can, and still cast a spell on Nalak
(north stairs is where portal to ToT is)
- then run as fast as you can to the NPC's in front of the portal
- protect yourself with everything you have
- run out the room cause the NPC's will aggro Nalak and he will be of your back
- don't run to far out, just at the end to throw the spear at him
- let the essence get a fixate on you
- don't run to far from the essence or it wil despawn
- keep like 20 feet between you and the essence outside the room (on the courtyard)
- keep this space between you and the essence will die and when you ran far enough Nalak will despawn but the essence will remain.

I tried the Shadowmeld a couple or times (as a nelf) didn't work. This was the only thing that worked for me (Druid).

Kommentar von zerezam

Did this as a Paladin.

Basically, I tried as Retribution. Nalak kept following all the way down the steps if I went straight.

I switched to Holy and ran just outside his area and cast LoH and headed left.

Nalak despawned and the cloud minion followed but he died on his own.

I think I got lucky but it took me five tries.

Kommentar von Kalkreth

Go to southern stairs , the stairs that Nalak is facing to.Stay at maximum range for lance ( about 2 steps below top of the stairs ).Throw lance and run upstairs immediately , Nalak will despawn and add will stay.Return back to area , kite the add for about 10 seconds and he'll die.

Kommentar von iceman2486

Looks like it has been updated. As a rogue everytime I vanished both Nalak and the add vanished at the same time.

17/12/13 - Just soloed this as a hunter after a few failed attempts. Have no pet out, spear Nalak and feign death immediately. Add was still there, then just disengage to get some extra distance and keep walking backwards towards Shado pan guys. He died before he even touched me.

Kommentar von smetia

After reading posts here trying 5-6 tactics (i'm frost mage) and coming from the graveyard like 20 times,Eurika.

You send pet to attack him let him cast 2 ice bolts in this time you go near guards and call the elemental ,dragon will follow throw the spear kite the elemental around entrance in ToT then run out .
Simple and good luck.

The easiest way for blood Death Night is to use Army of Dead Army just before launching the spear. And then you just have to wait :]]

Kommentar von Arch35

Did this today- 12/18/13 - as an ele sham and you can solo this. Mitzahchipz has it all spelled out, was very easy. I died a few times as Nalak did not de-spawn, but finally he did and I stood and waited for the add to die. Never fired off a spell....now to collect Ruinstones!

Kommentar von Slemmarth

The easiest way to do this is to have a friend/guildie to help you. Your friend takes agro and runs away. When he starts running you throw the spear and you have all the room you need to kite the spirit around.

Kommentar von noknownreality

WARRIORS:

Consider this a post to strengthen your resolve, rather than to simply reiterate what the previous 92348 comments said.

The following will work for you:

1. Inch towards Nalak near the northern steps (near Shado-pan NPCs, ToT instance, etc.)

2. Throw the Lance of Destiny (You will live, John Constawarriorpants. You will liiiive.)

3. Without over-ranging Nalak so she despawns, run up the stairs and LoS her until the Shado-pan NPCs pick up the aggro.

4. Leap past Nalak, back down the stairs into the courtyard. Throw the Spear again - the elemental will no doubt have despawned during the Nalak kite - to resummon the elemental.

5. Now kite the elemental around the courtyard for a few brief moments until it dies of embarrassment; its devious plan was just thwarted by the simple cunning of a lone meatshield.

By this time Nalak will have despawned, and you're free to return to the Veiled Stair.

Notes of importance:
You should be in defensive stance the entire time.
Lightning Lance has a mighty range; there is no conceivable reason to pull Nalak with anything else.
I recommend using defensive cooldowns shortly after the pull, or when Nalak reaches the stairs. See next.
You will likely be getting peppered with Stormcloud, and possibly hit with some Static Shields until Nalak decides she wants to eat pandas instead.
Personally, the only thing I used to help keep my health comfortably out of a deficit was Merkwürdig leuchtender Pilz. Health pots, bandages, left-over lock rocks, etc. are recommended just in case.
As previously stated, you could also use Kondensierter Jadenebel as an aggro dump and circumvent some of the aforementioned.
Lastly, If there is any confusion, as soon as you Spear ~~Britney~~ Nalak, an elemental spawns above and behind her, which empowers our spear.

All the best and Merry Christmas,
Heliax

If you can get one other to help you out this becomes a trivial exercise. The spear person stands on the steps leading to ToT and the kiter stands on the stairs leading the the rest of the island. The kiter gets the initial threat and the spear person uses their quest item. The kiter heads toward the main part of the island while the spear person just kites the quest add in the now empty room. Nalak will eventually either despawn or kill the kiter but by the time he shows back up where the spear person is kiting the quest will be complete.

Kommentar von wickedend

Alright well.. I didn't read through all of this so I apologize if someone has already posted for warrior. I didn't use any special items but I did use the "Throw the spear from the steps" strat that was posted before.

I did this solo... I stood at max range and used the spear to pull Nalak. I took a few steps back towards TOT and dropped my Demoralizing Banner. I tested it twice to make sure. The banner despawns Nalak immediately and all thats left is the add. Then, like said before.. just run around the court yard until the "add's" health has depleted. Mocking Banner did not work btw, I tested that one too.

You're done! Congrats!

After trying everything here and finding nothing that worked (the Essence despawns long before Nalak himself does these days, at least for me, and Vanish loses the fixation from the Essence even when you remove it immediately), this finally worked for my rogue:

Near the northeast stairs (the direction towards the ToT entrance), four pavement stones towards Nalak, throw the lance. Run up the stairs to just behind the Shado-pan guards. As soon as they start fighting Nalak, hit Sprint and run underneath him back into Nalak's room. The Essence despawned, but Nalak did not. I had the lightning on me so I had to run around healing through that. Cloak of Shadows doesn't remove it. Once that wore off, I threw the lance at Nalak again. The Essence respawned, Nalak kept fighting the Shado-pan, and I was able to kite the Essence till it died. The timing to get out from under Nalak alive after the first spear is tricky, and if it doesn't work you need to wait for the Shado-pan guards to respawn.

Kommentar von 1207523

SOLO for rogues:

For any toon with a drop agro skill (vanish, feign death etc..) you can't drop agro after throwing the spear, it drops agro on the add as well and he despawns.

But you can drop agro before throwing the spear, it takes about 1-2 seconds for Nalak to despawn after you drop agro, just enough time to agro Nalak, drop agro, throw the spear. Nalak will despawn but the add will still be there.

rogues - use the following macro:
/castsequence Shuriken Toss, Vanish, Lightning Lance

Stand under Nalak
Hit the macro once (this will agro Nalak)
Sprint towards the stairs (so you dont get 2 shotted from standing under Nalak)
Turn to face Nalak and smash the last 2 steps on the macro (This drops agro and throws the spear)
Nalak will despawn and the add will follow you around, just keep your distance until he dies

I tried the ways mentioned in this thread with the guards, but I died a significant number of times before figuring the above method out. Tried this first time with no drama

Edit: - I should point out that I tried mashing the macro by standing underneath him without sprinting and you vanish before the shuriken toss hits him, meaning you agro Nalak after vanishing, which results in imminent death.

Kommentar von VirgilWeller

This is how i did it on my hunter. What you'll need is this macro

/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast Feign Death
(1 stopcast is actually enough. The 2nd one is just a safety precaution)

So what you have to is pretty simple

Get directly below Nalak.
Use lance
Use macro

You'll have a yellow link between you and the add. Don't bother dps'ing the add. Just disengage kite it and the quest should be done in less than 30 secs.

Kommentar von 1208531

ok, I have tried all of the methods and nothing works, at all. I am a lvl 538 rogue and Nalak doesn't despawn, the Essence shows up and I take all of the aggro, the cloud always shows up and I die shortly afterword. I need a fool proof method......help!

Kommentar von Freudinio

Alright. So I just did this now.

I tried every. single. suggestion in this thread, and what ultimately worked for me was the following.

Stand at the top of the south stairs. Throw the spear, run southeast only a few steps. Nalak despawned right of the bat and I was able to kill the add without any problems. I replicated this 4 times, just to make absolutely sure.

Combat Rogue with 115% Movement speed. (No sprint used).

Kommentar von Ahjen

After much experimentation, the easy way to solo this as any class without using any special or racial abilities:

Go to the stairs northeast of Nalak. Some find it easier on the southwest stairs, but I did it on the northwest ones.
Get naked. This will save you lots of gold.
Go down the stairs and target Nalak.
Prepare yourself to run.
Inch slowly towards Nalak, trying to throw the spear.
When the spear throws, run back up the northeast steps while watching Nalak.
You should get an icon of eyes over your head and a beam going from you towards Nalak. This is the indication that the add you need has not despawned. The beam is actually coming from the add, which looks like a cloud elemental.
If at any time the beam or eyes disappear, continue running up the stairs and through the Shado-pan portal to reset Nalak.
If you do not outrun Nalak or the add too fast, Nalak will eventually despawn but the add will not. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO HAPPEN!
Kite the add around until its health reaches zero.
PROFIT.

It is tricky to get Nalak to despawn and the add to remain and it will probably take a few tries at the least. This is why you have removed all of your armor. The dying is no worse than any of the other methods I tried, but in this case you can get Nalak to despawn and the add to follow you without ever being hit.

I did this as a Retribution paladin, but I used no paladin skills on my successful attempt (I did not even have passive Pursuit of Justice at the time).

It helps to have a speed potion or skill to escape to the (purple) Shado-pan portal if Nalak does not despawn for you.

I don' think it matters because they did not engage on my successful attempt, but I did this with the NPC guards present in front of the Throne of Thunder entrance portal.

Kommentar von remotettl

it worked for me like this:
pulled boss, run back to middle of where npcs are, elites, and before that, targeted spawned mob for quest, dmged it. it hits hard (was as dk, blood presence, tank spec also), but it goes down fast. used all tank cds and pot (restoring 150 000 hp). in end, as mob, spawned, quest one, dies, its completed. so most prio is to kill mob or wait till it dies, depends on what class you are!

Kommentar von Vynastin

This took me about 25 attempts as a solo ret pally, trying pretty well everything listed here. As a ret, there's no built-in method of dropping aggro, so Nalak kept on killing me. Then I found out about Kondensierter Jadenebel. So here's how I did it:

- Tagged Nalak with Judgment
- Quickly hit the Condensed Jademist
- Threw the Lance
- Kited the Essence around for about 15 seconds or so
- Work Done!

Wish I found out about that earlier: what a repair bill!

This seems to be the trick for Pallys and Warriors who don't naturally have an aggro drop ability.

Kommentar von gbalkam

OMG! Wrathion! Ya know.. when i turned in this quest and got the next...
It took longer to listen to him running his mouth than it did to do the actual quest!

Kommentar von Kyrma

Not sure if Blizz nerfed the interaction w/ Nalak when throwing the spear or if I was just incredibly lucky. Anyway, I just walked to the bottom of the stairs on the ToT entrance side and tossed the spear....it hit Nalak then he immediately despawned and the eyes debuff popped up on me. Kited the add around for about 20 seconds (didn't even have to hit it) and viola! Didn't even have to deal w/ Nalak at all.

Kommentar von Stickygreen

I know this has been discussed a ton already, but I felt it necesssary to describe what worked for me the instant I finally tried it.

I ended up following another comment here, but changing one tiny piece. He said to pull with the spear and then use it again after CD. I decided to pull with judgement and run up the NE stairs without using the spear. Then I waited until the guards had aggro, then used the spear. Add summoned and I kited.

I will add that I had to blow several def CDs and some heals to keep from dying and it got a little close at the end. After LoH, I completed the quest with 1% HP. Ugh, enjoy...

Kommentar von smetia

I am rogue the q is easy .Nalak is in the yard you come in go like until the half of the steps throw the spear and go back on the second square on the floor ,Nalak despawn and you take the spirit on a walk in the yard .

No vanish ,cloak or anything else.

Kommentar von 1212770

I done this on my druid, But i went resto offspec.I let the panda guards tank Nalak, Whilst i kited the add and healed myself up.It worked really well:)

Kommentar von 1213364

Okay so I'm one of those people who is pretty slow progressing and I went to solo this quest today.

None of the strats I saw here really worked, but this was EZ mode:

Attack Nalak with the spear. Kite him back through the stairs you came from and go either east or west until he despawns.

Now, he won't reappear back at his spot immediately. But you can still throw the spear to start the event, and the essence will appear. Nalak won't be around to bother with; kite the essence for a minute; complete the quest.

Kommentar von 1019041

After some help guys I got the spear charged but I still have the 1st part of the quest to do .... UNLOCK THE FOOT OF LEI SHEN any ideas how I do this tbh I cant remember how I did it on my main all my alts never really came over to the island I have had to do some solo scenarios so I could do the last quest from wrathon

Kommentar von 1213789

I don't know if the information i'm about to provide was already covered by another but here goes;

I just did this quest for the second time (alt toon), the first was on a guardian druid and my strat was just to run around in circles swiping and healing myself kiting the add. This time, however, being on a mage I was a little more apprehensive. I targeted nalak (before opening the courtyard via scenario), used the lance and just kited around keeping ice barrier up, waiting for my hp to drop to proc cauterize then iceblocked to a victory.

You do not need to keybind lance since you can use it before attacking nalak and it will start the encounter for you.

You do not need to kill nalak.

You do not even have to target or look for the add, just stay running out of range of nalak around the room keeping any defensive cds or quick hot/heals applied.

5.4

Edit: mage specific information; I did not use mirror images to get this done, it wasnt necessary. Coldsnap i think would be another viable way so you can iceblock twice.

Kommentar von nfnnmidata

On my druid this works as of 1/25/2014 (may work for anyone, not sure): Get into travel form by the ToT instance stairs, spear Nalak, then head up the stairs towards the guards. BUT before you get there, turn around and face the boss so you can see him and inch your way backwards up the stairs - there will be a sweet spot where Nalak despawns and the quest add remains tethered to you. Once you get it right, just head down the stairs and kite the add around Nalak's room until it dies.

Kommentar von WallyWest

Finished today as a frost mage, solo. Not sure if this was a bug or what. I had my elemental aggro Nalak and then hit him once with ice lance, standing as close to the room with the Shado-Pan NPCs as I could. As soon as the ice lance landed I used the quest item and the add spawned. From there I tried moving back into the raid entrance room, but the add would despawn if I walked much beyond the doorway. This was not because of range, I kited him there once and he was right on top of me, still despawned.

Then suddenly my lance stopped working. Couldn't "use" it at all. A druid showed up and successfully did the quest, then tried to help me. Wouldn't work no matter what. Then he suggested I check my quest log.

The quest was complete. The druid thought that because I was in combat when he did it that it counted for me, but I know for sure my lance stopped working (because it had become a different item) before he showed up.

So anyway, it seems some of the tricks have been fixed, Nalak was right back on me after invisibility. But the time you need to have the add up is pretty short. So check the quest log after every attempt, you may complete it even when it looks like you didn't.

Kommentar von Kyrma

Ok so I did this again on another character, a rogue this time. It didn't go as "smoothly" as w/ my priest, but still a one shot.

I went to the same exact spot (3rd tile in from the stairs ToT side) and threw the spear @ Nalak...this time he did not despawn. So I then turned and kited him back towards the entrance of ToT. Once the NPC's engaged, I used sprint and ran back out to his main area. The eyes and the add despawned while doing this and the quest did not complete. However the NPC's were holding aggro on Nalak so I just tossed the spear @ him again and the add popped back up to chase me. After the duration of the add, the quest completed and I was removed from combat. Nalak despawned after killing all the NPC's in that room before ToT.

The only issue I had was living through his Lightning Tether while I was sprinting away. I used CoS, Feint + a healing pot and ended up @ 10% hp.

Kommentar von 1216157

Just completed this quest on my retribution pally (but in holy off spec). Tried many of the methods listed below (tried starting from both sets of stairs, tried getting NPCs near ToT entrance to help, tried running far and near, even tried using Terracotta warrior trinket to lose aggro) but they didn't work for me. Grew tired of dying and running back. Here's what worked:

-Set Nalak as focus (kudos to those who suggested this)
-Get just inside lance's range at SW stairs (the stairs from which you first approach Nalak). For my toon this was right at the top of the stairs
-Face Nalak and use lance
-immediately turn 180 degrees and run (normal speed) away. I ran towards the right (west-southwest) heading for the set of stairs leading down
-when you lose Nalak's focus turn around and head back (again at normal running speed). If the eye debuff is still on and the orange "tether" is still connected you are in business and can then proceed back to Nalak's starting courtyard. Run around that courtyard until essence (which is in center of courtyard) dies. I took no damage. Quest completed.
-if eye debuff is gone when Nalak despawns you'll need to try again, waiting for the lance's cool down to expire.
-whether this works on any given attempt is apparently totally random. Sometimes I lost Nalak's focus almost immediately and also lost the essence. At least once Nalak followed me partially down the stairs before despawning. At least once I lost Nalak's focus but he still followed me a little longer before despawning. The key is to keep trying until it works. it took me around 5 attempts but I never died using this strategy.

Very helpful thank you guys.

Kommentar von Hairband

It seems that all these failsafe kiting/bugging methods are outdated and need to be downvoted in this patch. They do not work. Nalak does not evade. Think about it: Why would Blizz let a known bug exist, wherein you trick out a boss and steal the benefit of what should be a 10 man raid?

Your objective: Lance Nalak, target the Essence that spawns in the sky, and the Essence must live longer than Nalak. If Nalak bugs and disappears, you win. If you kill Nalak and the Essence still lives, you win. Also, if you kite the Essence separately (run South) and have Nalak tanked in the Shado Pan room to the North, Nalak despawns and you win.

Now that you know what you're SUPPOSED to do, here's what I did.

1. Lance Nalak from the North to South.
2. create and use a macro: /target Essence (you should see tan eyes over your character and a kite string-like line to the Essence)
3. run North into the little Shado Pan room with 4 guards.
4. let the Shado Pan engage Nalak
5. keep making sure you are /target Essence and run SOUTH while Nalak is busy.

If you separate the Essence from Nalak, you MAY be able to get the quest complete. IF NOT, ask for assistance. All it takes is one. Here's how:

I received the help of a DK who was interested in helping me, if not to get the Nalak kill, just to see what the legendary quest was about. He grabbed Nalak and kited into the Shado Pan room. I was running South with Essence following me. Nalak was doing dmg and killing in that room. He killed a couple guards and the DK. When everyone died, I believe Nalak just reset. But by then, the Quest Complete came up on my quest tracker.

Kommentar von trollied

To solo as a druid that has Shadowmeld, make a macro with the following in it & stick it on an actionbar button.

/use Lightning Lance
/cast Shadowmeld

Stand on the North steps & walk to Nalak until he is just in range. Moonfire him, then hit the button for this macro. He'll reset & then all you have to do is kite the add for 20 seconds. Easy-peasy!

Kommentar von Delyana

I'm a Night Elf Warrior, and soloed this quest easily.

Add the macro:

/use Lightning Lance
/cast Shadowmeld(racial)

Bind newly made macro to a key.

Cast Shattering Throw and then Heroic Throw directly after. As soon as you do that, click the macro button immediately.

Add should fixate on you while Nalak disappears. Just run around arena, don't DPS. Loses HP while being kited.

Took a few tries to get the add to spawn. Standing directly in front of Nalak, and then following this guide should let you complete the quest and being that much closer to the legendary item!

Kommentar von 39098

This is actually quite easy to do solo. I did it with a decently geared arms warrior but I popped into prot gear. I had about 570k health.

What I did was stand on the stairs as you approach Nalak (the entrance to ToT will be behind him) and threw the spear. He attacked me and I slowly backed up. No heroic leap or anything. I just backed up and popped any defensive CDs to ensure I didn't die. (I didn't come close and probably didn't need them).

When I crossed about halfway into the courtyard before Nalak, he despawned. However, the add continued to come towards me.

The trick is to back away slowly enough that the add doesn't despawn.

Kommentar von Deleteplz

Very easy to solo as a lock :)
Drop down Demonic Gateways, use the Q Item, take the gateway and keep kiting the boss until the NPC dies :)
Cheers!

Kommentar von OliverStoned

After multiple kills that shredded my armor to bits (another 200 g down the drain) I found that this mission is in fact VERY easy for the Enhancement Shaman. It was just the player that was... well... insufficient. Here is the method:

Go to the furthest distance you can use your lance without actually being in Nalak's face. Make sure your Earth Elemental Totem is not on CD. Whip out your Feral Spirits and your Earth Elemental Totem. Use lance on Nalak. Both the wolves and the elemental have their go at Nalak, wolves healing you for any initial damage you may get and the elemental tanking. Start running away. The golden beam directed at you shows the add is alive. Your elemental gives you about 10 seconds before being road kill. Make sure you run a fair distance in this time frame. When your elemental dies, Nalak despawns and the add doesn't have enough xp left on him to really give you a chase. I had just made it to the center of the chamber with the ToT entrance when add died and I got the Tempered Lightning Lance .

Kommentar von jaykaywhy

If you're having trouble with any of these methods, what I found helpful was to find a guildie or someone else on the quest to team up and do it.

First, the sacrificial lamb pulls Nalak near the Northern Stairs. After Nalak is engaged, the questor throws the lance and starts kiting the mob.

If Nalak doesn't despawn, pull him towards the Shado-Pan guards. Have the sacrificial lamb use as many cooldowns as he has (as a WW Monk, I used Fortifying Brew, self-heals, and Touch of Karma). Even after the lamb dies, Nalak will engage the Shado-Pan guards, which should give the questor enough time to do kite the mob and complete the quest.

Using this strat, me and my partner died once each when we were the lamb, compared to the 3-5 times we died individually trying the various strategies listed.

Good luck!

Kommentar von 1226826

I tried many suggestions above and nothing worked. Either Nalak would despawn and the add would despawn with him, or he wouldn't despawn at all and I died.

What worked for me as a frost mage was to direct my pet to stand under him, put him on passive. I threw up Ice Barrier and pulled Nalak with the spear, then set my pet to attack him and popped Mirror Image. The add fixated on me and I kited him around the courtyard. I took some damage, but by the time Cauterize hit me, the quest was complete. Then I hit Iceblock and went invis.

Patch 5.4.7 Throw Lance and use Gesprungener Talisman

Kommentar von fawkes

Today i solo'ed it as a protection paladin on patch 5.4.7 so thought to share it with you. After reading almost everything here, dying about 20 times (or more) it just work like this:

1. Went to the stairs in front of ToT entrance.
2. Moved forward about 3 tiles just to get in range to throw the spear at Nalak.
3. Pulled Nalak with the spear then walked backwards until the 3rd step.
4. Activated Divine Shield then Speed of Light (by the time Nalak was almost over my head)
5. Ran inside the room and Nalak Started attacking the Shado-pan guys.
6. The Add's aggro remained on me so i kited him a bit until he died.

Nalak was still up by the time the add died but my quest got completed so i ran to the shado-pan tunnel portal asap to prevent dying yet again.

That was all, hope it helps

Kommentar von thilithedruid

To the guys below who gave the druid trick, thanks! Worked like a charm. Macro throwing the lance and Shadowmeld. Moonfire Nalak, cast the macro ... the Essence spawns, after a few seconds, detects you even if you're Shadowmelded, at which point you start running around. After the 20 sec or whatever, got Quest Complete.

Kommentar von 1019041

Ok so was going for this on my LW Beast hunter my gear on this toon is mainly LFR with some drops from ordos and celestials.
So after reading a few posts I used a few ideas
1. made a macro
2. used the steps and guards to engage Nalak

So I misdirected to my poor pet (bully is his name ) hit stampede this is when I threw the speare hit my macro to target the essence run up the stairs to get the guards to engage , wasnt needed the add died before Nalak was done with all the pets . Quest done cape No.3

Kommentar von Fishnico

Did this step today as an assassination rogue, solo.
After trying various techniques described in these comments and not succeeding, here's what I did.
I positionned myself down the stairs, three tiles ahead, and pulled Nalak with the lance. I started running back to the shado-pans, but stopped before passing the Shan'ze corpses.
Nothing else and I got Nalak to reset, but not the spirit. I then just walked back towards the raid entrance, 'til the spirit died.
No damages whatsoever, and the whole process lasted 20s.

I guess luck was involved, but if it can help.
Oh, and try to die on the east side of the court. Much quicker to come back from this side's cemetary.

Kommentar von Gregoreee

after some tries I was about to log for the day when someone else tried the quest so I threw my own lance and walked up the North stairs and waited for the add to come to me. By the time it reached me I was able to finish it off with dps.

Kommentar von unify

I tried all of the other posts in this thread and here's what happens.

When the boss despawns, so does the add. Even when hitting the boss first, and with myself not dying.

The thing that worked for me is: Pull the boss myself, and use the lance, have a friend attack the boss to take threat, then myself running out of the arena slowly with the add following me. By the time my friend had died, I was out of the arena, Nalak despawned and the add stayed on me.

Kommentar von 1235583

I have a disc priest and I ended up trying to solo Nalak using the information I got from here...and it WORKED! :D I was so happy. All I did was stand underneath him, threw the lance, popped power word: shield (I also had inner will on for the movement speed purposed) and ran towards the guards up the stairs and started spamming heals on myself. The quest completed in not even 30 seconds it happens super fast. I died instantly afterwards though...I don't care ill take it! whoever figured that out is a genius!

Kommentar von Dasfaust

For a warrior, the north steps work, if you have a prot spec its helpful with your defensive CDs but not necessary, just don't run too far. Additionally, if you have the summon-able pandas from TI they will draw aggro for you long enough to cause Nalak to despawn and leave the add to be kited. You just have to live long enough for Nalak to despawn. Works in 5.4

Kommentar von Dasfaust

Fury Warrior (5.4)

1. Used summonable pandas from TI, three versions, they took aggro for me
2. Walked up North steps, just far enough for Nalak to despawn
3. Kited add
(don't know if the Scuttler's Shell helped, but I used it as well, also from TI)

Kommentar von mevisto90

Tip for soloing this on DK

- Turn on Blood presence
- go in range (to use the lighting lance)
- summon army of death
- spear the nalak
- kite the mob
- if the boss start slowy going towards you pop up cd's

For me it works perfectly did it on the first try without poping any cd's

I hope it would help someone;)
enjoy

p.s patch 5.4.7

Kommentar von 900871

just did it as a rogue. started at the stairs near ToT, ran up to the shadowpan guards and they took aggro of nalak then i just walked back and waited for the mob to die. took damage but didn;t die. for some reason he would not despawn unless i vanished, but doing that made the add disappear.

Kommentar von bunkmoreland

Wiped on this so many times I have had all my gear go red three times. I read these comments and almost all of them talk about killing the add. I have still never seen an add. What add?

Kommentar von bunkmoreland

I finally accomplished this after many tries. I read all the comments here.
I will just add this post with a few details that helped me.

1. For the love of God, get the cracked talisman from the jade forest elite mob. The mob that drops the talisman is easy to solo and makes Spirit of the Stormlord easier even if you could do it otherwise..
2. Be prepared to use the cracked talisman more than once. I had to use it twice and almost had to use it a third time before the Essence of Storms died.
3. You can make a macro to target the Essence of Storms so you can watch its health and know when it has died.

Kommentar von jrs418

for anyone without pet to aggro nalak

1- Get Blubberndes Pi'jiubräu or Nebliges Pi'jiubräu

2- go to nalak and summon your fighter
3- cast spear on nalak and run to shadopan guards next to ToT's gate/entrance

the one you summoned will take aggro while you run to guards for abit then guards will take it aggro after your companion die

at that time you should get the quest done in few seconds

Kommentar von NivekLB

I completed this as a resto druid. I'm horde so I don't have access to shadowmeld and I didn't want to respec guardian.

Start on the SW side of Nalak. Start 3 stack of Lifebloom rolling on you, switch to Travel Form. Throw the spear at Nalak and run up the stairs, stay on the right side. When I got to the top fo the stairs I set a Rejuv going, hit Wild Growth, and refreshed Lifebloom. All the while I ran in a circle on the platform. When Nalak gets to the top of the stairs, switch to cat form, click dash and run down the stairs on the opposite side you ran up. I took a lot of damage passing Nalak, once I passed him I dropped a mushroom, and refreshed heals. Keep moving toward the guards.

I'm iLvl 530 and my health dropped to around 20%. Took me 3 tries to get it done.

Kommentar von PredatorZero1208

/cast Lightning Lance
/cast feign death

Kommentar von ahunter8056

I still don't get what happened. I threw the lance at Nalak, and then the Essence appeared, and I ran away, and for some reason the Essence then rapidly decreased in health and then it died. I didn't have to do anything. Did I encounter an incredibly lucky bug, or is this supposed to happen?

Kommentar von Grizlor

5.4.7 warrior strats (got it first try):

Use throw to pull him
Have your rocket boots fail, so hit shield wall. Rememeber to toss the lance at him at some point.
Get targeted by storm cloud, and get the pandas hit by it to encourage them to engage Nalak
Run around for another 15s, and use die by the sword/rallying cry and skillfully heal with second wind.

Second try, moved to the far side by the entrance to ToT, threw lance sent in my void and while I was still linked backed into the room with the shadopan guards until quest was completed, jumped through portal to the right and left.

Kommentar von zigkid3

Do not listen to all the BS strategies about trying to cheese it by depsawning Nalak. I've tried every single one of them and they've all failed. The best way as it turns out is to just do it normally. Start at a corner of the courtyard and throw the spear at him. (no you don't need to damage him first, otherwise youd have to be right underneath him just to reach him). since you started in a corner you have plenty of distance between you and him. run around the courtyard in a wide circle/square to get as much distance from him as possible. If he gets close, use your defensive cooldowns as much as you can to not die instantly.

Kommentar von Krastopic

There is a lot of confusing information here. I did this initially on an Arcane Mage and tried all kinds of crazy things like blinking to get up the stairs throwing out an army, etc. Have done it twice now as of the most current patch on two toons.

1) Go to the top of the stairs (north ish). It is the stairs where the portal is to the cave, and the portal to ToT. There will be a summoning stone there as well.
2) Go to the bottom of the stairs. Walk forward until you are on the center of the third tile.
3) Pop a bubble just in case. Throw the spear.
4) Turn around 180 and run to the top of the stairs. Turn around and Nalak should despawn and a cloud creature (Essence of Storms) will be spawn and will be fixated on you. You will know it is fixated as a gold line will be on you with the cool eyes we all love to have on us.
5) Walk back into the room where the summoning stone is and kite the spawned creature around. It will gradually be losing health without you having to do anything. Just kite it.

Issues. I was able to use Blink to get to the top of the stairs, but if you run then blink, you will go too far and everything will despawn and you will have to do it over. It seems the sweet spot varies between the middle of the stairs and the top stair. If Nalak has not despawned, then keep going backwards until he does.

KEYS: You don't have to kill Nalak or even attack him after you throw the spear.
Just kite the spawned add - it will die over time.

May the Beer Be With You!

Tried the despawn strategy a few times on my shadow priest and he wouldn't despawn and I died many painful deaths. Tried a different tactic and it worked like a charm. Throw the lance from max range. When he starts casting storm cloud, cast dispersion and kite the essence around the outside of the room. Dispersion should last just through the storm cloud. Then use feather or other speed boost and bubble to kite the essence around the room. Does not take long and you have the charged spear. Just pop another feather and run out of the room til you lose aggro. Quick and relatively painless!

Kommentar von Knallert

I play a mage, and I really struggled with this one.
In the end I asked a Shaman to help me out. Alone, I tried kiting Nalak to Shado pan, but he just disappeared for me. When my Shaman friend was there we managed to kite him back to the Shado Pan and they took care of the aggro like mentioned above. I did not see any sign of the elemental-looking feller though so I had to hit him with the spear again. That's when he spawned for me, and the quest was completed. Just be aware that he might not spawn when you hit Nalak with the spear right away! Just wait until you can use it again, though and you're grand!

Good luck!

Kommentar von Cosdaguy

You can have a friend aggro Nalak into despawning while you throw the spear. The add will have aggro on you.

Why am I not getting ''Unlock the foot of Lei Shen''
Someone explain please.

Kommentar von TimeTraveler

Oh my god, this was so easy when we finally figured it out. Going to put this as simple as I can:
1. If you have brought someone to help you, don't get in a party cuz this stops the alt from spawning. Found this out the hard way.
2. Keep saying out loud, "I do NOT have to kill Malek " "I do NOT have to kill the Alt".
3. Go into the courtyard, go past Malek (he will not attack) and stop at the bottom of the stairs.
4. Turn around, go to the third tile out from the stairs toward Malek. (This is the farthest point you can use the lance and easily get up the stairs)
5. Do not shoot or spell him, just throw the lance at him. This is the only time you use lance.
6. Turn and run up the steps to the top, Malek will follow you and the guards will attack him. Do NOT attack him yourself.
7. Once you see the guards have aggro, you can slowly move into the room away from the fight. (When I got to top of stairs, I turned to be sure he was coming and backed in to the room past the guards to be sure they had aggro and I could watch for spawn of the alt)
8. This is when a kind of cloudy alt will spawn. Do not attack him, just kite him around the room and he will slowly die all by himself. He doesn't move very fast so not sure why everyone was talking about need for speed. You can kite him into courtyard if you need more space to run around as Nalek has despawned by this time.

Note: the only thing that can potentially go wrong is when you are trying to get Malek up to the guards. If you go too fast or too far into the room, he can despawn and you will have to wait for your lance cooldown to do it again.

Hope this helps someone out there, found this out after 600 gold in repairs from doing it multiple ways/times and failing. However, want to thank those that had pieces of this that helped, like the reference to the third tile, etc

Kommentar von apepi

I had no idea what I was doing when trying to do this quest.

1. Throws the spear.
2. ?
3. Quest complete.

I seriously just threw the spear at him and healed myself with healing orbs as long as I could until I died and I somehow completed it.

When in doubt, yolo it and hope you can live long enough.

Kommentar von tacfifty

Did this solo today 20.05.2014 on my resto shammie following TimeTraveler's advice above; start from north side stairs, 3 tiles in, chuck spear, run back up stairs, Nalak despawns, walk slowly about while add dies.

Worked second attempt, first time I ran up the stairs too fast and both despawned, hesitated at top of stairs second time, nalak despawned, add remained.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von crixe

Here is how I did it exactly. Stand at the utter max distance from Nalak, look at the spear in your bags not on your quest screen. Now keep in mind i'm a pally so I had some tools at my disposal you should have something similar too.

I waited scary part. Waited for him to actually hit attack range of me. Soon as he did I ran up as he hit me for the first 1-2 times then he was attacked by the guards by this time the essence was half way to me the guards kept him busy and I sat there just out of his range of his ground AoE then the second I died the quest was completed. It worked but it was messy.

Kommentar von Saruya

Just did this in 5.4.8 solo as Monk.

Either Nalak kept bypassing the guards and attacking me, or he despawned along with the quest mob.

The trick is to throw the lance, then get to the very top of the stairs and stand there. Don't move beyond that top step, otherwise Nalak will either despawn along with the Quest mob, or he'll not despawn at all, and attack you.

If stood in the right place, Nalak will despawn and the quest mob will still be "chasing you". It's incredibly slow now, so you can walk around and still avoid it.

Kommentar von babajaga1

Thank you, the instructions here were great. As an Arcane mage, I attacked Nalak with Arcane Barrage, turned around, ran up the stairs. As soon as the Shadow Pan had agro I threw the spear. I kited the Essence of Storms around the room. As soon as it got close I popped Mirror image so he attacked them. As soon as the quest was done, I ran into the portal. Thanks Again.

Kommentar von 436203

I tried Krastopic's method and it worked.

However there are some technicality. Sometimes Nalak will not de-spawn and follow you wherever you go. He will kill you almost instantly. I ran into small room at the back twice and both times Nalak followed me to room and started hitting me. If this is your unlucky case. run into portal (purple portal on the left of room) and leave combat and try again. On third attempt when I reach to top of stairs, Nalak de-spawned however and when I entered room Essence of Storms disappeared too. On fourth attempt I slowed down at top of stairs, Nalak de-spawned (You will loose mob icon from screen) then I stopped and run back to big room (where Nalak is). Essence of Storms was still following me. It will die fast.

As a note for those like me who thought this is just an ordinary Elite mob like other quests, Nalak is a World boss.

You will recieve Tempered Lightning Lance in your inventory.

Kommentar von Zigs

Easy to solo just pick up the Cracked Talisman item in the Jade Forest 100% drop
1) Head over to the stairs near the Shadow Pan Guards
2) Walk down stairs until your in range to throw the spear
3) Throw spear at Nalak
4) Click on talisman (you go invisible for approx. 20 seconds)
5) Walk back up to the guards and they will start to fight Nalak
6) Click on Talisman a second time when buff ends
7) Walk back out and down stairs, your still invisible and by now the quest should be completed
8) For good measure I hit Talisman for the 3rd and final time and walked away untouched

Kommentar von Dosowar

You can do that quest in a raid group. I haven't done it personally in a raid group, but when i was mount-farming weekly, some guys in the raid created the required quest item.

Kommentar von MrDiamondJ

Just soloed this in patch 5.4.8 with a Ret Pally. I can pretty much echo what others have said here in terms of steps:

Go to the northeast side of the courtyard of The Foot of Lei Shen (the side with the portal and Summoning Stone).
Stand facing Nalak on the third tile row out from the base of the stairs. Any spot on this tile row should get you in range of Nalak.
Hit Nalak with the spear (click on it in your bag or whatever) and immediately run up to the top of the stairs, making sure that you STAY on the stairs themselves. Nalak will de-spawn but the add spawned by the spear hit (Essence of Storms) will remain and stay fixated on you.
Run out into the courtyard and kite the add around until it dies. It does no damage to you whatsoever.

Kommentar von Kilrathi3

As a windwalker monk
stand facing to nalaks rear, far away as you can to be able to throw,
with the shado-pan guards to your rear.
cast in this order....
THROW LANCE
storm, earth and fire x2 - gets you 2 body doubles to attack it
invoke xuen - to aggro
diffuse magic - reduce dmg
expel harm - heal a bit
run up the stairs a bit to just before the guards,
then backstep waiting for nalak to get near so you can
cast touch of karma - zero dmg
run to the far back and let the guards engage nalak
you should last another 20 sec this way
just avoid the aoe blast by nalak.
boom you lance is done
jump out of the fight thru the tunnel port and you live
otherwise die and run back

Kommentar von ricangsxrdude

Make sure you have completed the questline from the Regent Lord, otherwise you will not be able to complete the quest. Fall of Shan Bu is the last part of the IoT questline.

Also, the method posted by MrDiamondj is the easiest by far. A recap:

Go to the 3rd tile from the foot of the stairs close to the portal/entrance (Northeast)
Hurl the spear towards Nalak and run to the steps, but STAY on the steps. Nalak will despawn but the add will stay with you.
Run back to the yard and run like a mad man until add dies on it's own.
Voila! All done

Credit again tp MrDiamondj for such a nice strategy.

Kommentar von Colombianos

I wiped several times or failed while trying to make him despawn without the add despawning as well. Then I watched some youtube videos and I figured out the way to do it was first, range atack him, then run up the stairs and atack him again when you are near the guards so they can take the aggro. Afterwards you use the spear and u go back in the yard with the add following you and Nalac being aggroed by the guards. Of course this doesn't mean you don't take any damage (the storms that deal 50k damage still are on),so it would be usefull to have some potions with you if u are not a healer.

Kommentar von quinlin56

This is relatively straight forward to solo, did it on my ret pally first attempt. Start at the north side of Nalak (near ToT entrance) and throw the lance at him. Walk back up the steps and nalak zones out but the add that chases you down doesn't. Run back down the stairs and kite him in a circle around the outside of the court yard, job done.

This post is just a reiteration of other posts but hopefully a little clearer. all credit to other players. Hope this info helps

Kommentar von sorrowdemonica

This is extremely easy as hunter as I discovered:

1. From the steps, Throw the Lance at Nalak
2. Feign Death
3. Get right back up immediately and you'll notice Nalak Zoned out but the Elemental did not, Just run back down into the courtyard and run around until the Elemental's health runs out.
4. ?
5. Profit.

Kommentar von Organmeat

Another way is to get Kondensierter Jadenebel from timeless Isle. I did the running to the top of the stairs method and let Nalak approach me. Right before he started attacking me, I used the jademist. He despawned, add remained and it was a simple kite from there. The first time I used it immediately and both despawned, but when I let him advance to the stairs it worked like a charm.

Kommentar von BarbaricGoose

Nalak despawning has to do with how fast you're able to get away from him. It's not based on where you stand, what abilities you use, or if you were balancing a milk jug on the top of your head at the time of the pull.

Start at the small set of stairs behind Nalak, pop a movement speed increase of some sort, throw the spear and immediately run to the top of the stairs. He should despawn if you were quick enough. If you run too far past the top of the stairs, the orb will despawn too, so be careful.

If you don't have a movement speed boost (Hello, warriors,) use anything you can to propel yourself away from Nalak/up the stairs.

Timing is crucial. You really have to be quick to start moving IMMEDIATELY after throwing the spear.

Kommentar von Reboot

Took me a few times to get it. Still worx fine. Went in as ret paly. Oncce I changed to Holy (for the speed boost) he despawned and all went well. The trick as mentioned below is the speed at which you get to the top of the stairs. Good luck.

Kommentar von TheDarkLynx

Had some really intense problems with add AND Nalak despawning (mostly the add), so here's what I did: (Patch 5.4.8 | Frost Mage)
- Summon your Water Elemental (he'll hold the aggro for two hits);
- Make sure you have: Blazing Speed (Level 15 talent), Greater Invisibility (Level 60 talent);
- Go under Nalak and cast Ice Lance/Frostbolt and blink behind you (towards the entrance of ToT), activate Blazing Speed and get behind the guards. Once they start moving towards Nalak, use your Lightning Lance and run TOWARDS NALAK (careful to not get hit, if you have Ice Barrier up, you should be able to take around 3 hits ).
- As soon as the add spawn, Nalak -SHOULD- be fighting the guards, so run BACK to where Nalak spawns and use Greater Invisibility. This will make Nalak drop all his aggro on you and the add will keep following you.

Important: The add WILL despawn if you're not inside Narak's "pit".

Kommentar von 569127

It took me a while to get this as a Rogue, but I can't say that exactly I solo'd it.

I read the other comments to see what would work for my rogue, but nothing cut it. The add would despawn with Nalak no matter what I did. Doing this on my hunter was easy enough, but I failed many many more times before finding something that worked on my rogue.

What worked for me was having someone else (anyone, anyone, anyone else-- in this case, it was an opposite-faction player) pull Nalak, then throwing the spear, and then letting him despawn Nalak while I kite the add around and complete the quest.

After I discovered this after both of our many failures, I emote-communicated the plan to him, pulled Nalak, the other player got his add, and then I ran off and despawned Nalak. The other player successfully completed his quest as well.

Kommentar von Vittoriya2

26 Jun 2014: Solo'd a SV hunter. I tried going to the top of the stairs, but both Nalak and the lance despawned. All I had to do was Feign Death after throwing the lance. Nalak instantly despawned, I kited the add, and by the time Nalak respawned, the lance was done. Easy.

Kommentar von 3Z3K13L08

As the whole Isle is unlocked on every serve, you may have skipped some of the solo scenarios needed to complete the first objective of this quest 'Unlock the Foot of Lei Shen'. You will need to unlock Insel des Donners before you can complete Geist des Sturmfürsten.

Make sure you finish off all the quests/solo scenarios as the game won't "see" that the whole isle is unlocked.

Kommentar von Mookosh

Pathetically easy on my Warlock. Sent pet in and threw spear before pet arrived.

then simply walked back away from him while staying in tether range. I did have to Soulburn out an instant Void about 3/4 through the channel since Nalak managed to finish eating the 1st but the 2nd lasts more than long enough. Spear channel finished and. 2nd void was dead by then of course but at that point Nalak was far enough away that I could just walk away from him and he despawned before ever reaching me with anything other than a lightening strike or 2. Never went below 70% and didn't even have to healthstone or even using Burning Rush.

Simple.

Kommentar von dragnorSWC

Since there's not a lot of "how to" for a rogue, here's the scoop.

1. Get under Nalak so that you can use Throw to pull him.
2. Run up the stairs into the anteroom where the ToT entrance is (Burst of Speed or Sprint is useful here) and LoS him around the corner.
3. Let the Shadowpan Enforcers peel him and run back out towards the courtyard, lancing him when you get to max range.
4. Kite the add while Nalak noms the NPCs, complete quest.

Kommentar von Heskey

NONE of these strategies have worked for me so far. It's 5.4.8 and I am a solo prot warrior. I stand on the 3rd tile from the stairs, throw the spear, run to the top of the stairs and face Nalak. He does not despawn. He will chase me until death in approx 5 seconds. Spent 200g on repairs so far.

Kommentar von viocot

Has anyone tried completing this during Der Sturz von Shan'Bu? It's a solo instance and Nalak is present at the end(not attackable though). I happened to spear him just before I started the quest so I wasn't able to try it. I was able to get him to reset by simply spearing him from the bottom of the northern steps( by summoning stone) and casually ran up to the top of the steps(no speed increases). I should note that I didn't go through the doors at the top of the steps. Had tried using speed pots and/or priest bubble and running all the way past the guards but he never reset and ended up killing me before I could complete the quest. Hope this helps someone.

Kommentar von 1306305

For the Warriors:
Before throwing the spear put your Demo/Tauntbanner on top of the stairs behind Nalak. Then throw the spear on Nalak and Intervene on the Banner. Tadaaaaa =)

Kommentar von kazewolf

i find as a resto shaman that the best way to do it as a shaman is summon earth elemental and send him to attack nalak. once nalak gets aggroed throw the spear and then run away from nalak.
once the elemental dies nalak will reset but not the spirit. at that point you just need to kite the spirit until expire.

Kommentar von drwnewman

Stand on third tile from the bottom of the north-east stairs.
Throw lance and move up the stairs to the third step.
Nalak will reset and then just run away from slow mob chasing you until it dies.
Will work for all classes.

Kommentar von Venderia73

Easiest way to do this (requires a friend):

1) Have your friend attack the boss.
2) Throw the lance at the boss, while staying close
3) Your friend will kite the boss up the stairs leading to Throne of Thunder)
4) Your friend will die and the boss will despawn, meanwhile you need to kite the Essence mob around the room until it gets to 20M HP, the Quest will then complete. No need to kill the mob.

This seems to be a guaranteed way to get the quest done, as both me and my friend got it on the first try.

Kommentar von benx2011

this quest is the easiest for hunter. throw a lance, then feign death, then just kite, you can shoot and kite at the same time to make it faster.

Kommentar von gc1ceo

The three tile/three step trick still works flawlessly as I have done it on two toons in the last three weeks.

Kommentar von 808639

To clarify its the 3rd step from the top, not third step up. Third step up Nalak will still chase you down and smoke you. :)

Kommentar von dcawdell

I've just done this on a fourth toon and the same basic set of events happen - I screw up the pull, threat management or die.

When I get it done, it always happens the same way - I reccomend this - pull with regular attack (NOT SPEAR). Run to adds. Drop threat. Run under Nalak. Heals as needed. Throw spear. Play keep away. Done.

The process of trying to maintain threat on the add on the way to the guards is an unnecessary complication. You just need to watch your health and that's not very tough.

Only, when I do it, I screw up the throw firs time, have to wait 20 seconds for CD, and THEN throw a second time - so save some complication, pull with mundane (non-dot) attack and it's pretty easy. Toiok me 2 goes, even with my screw up.

Kommentar von 1345078

I tried backing up the stairs tried everything and couldn't get it if I went too far he despawned and I had to star over all warrior showed up and we teamed up he stood on the ToT side and I stood on the opposite side he threw his spear first then I threw mine he ran toward ToT and I ran up the stairs the opposite side that worked for us hope this helps some one out

Kommentar von talic182

Not a hunter or don't have bubble >> easy way to solo without taking any damage at all.

Stand at bottom of stairs where ToT portal is>> now face Nalak >>now tap forward slightly and continue to do so and ofc while clicking the spear rapidly until it flies out of your hands..at the very moment you see the spear go out of your hands just turn around immediately and run to middle of the stairs DO NOT run any further...Nalak will despawn and the add will slowly come down>>>kite>complete

Kommentar von keerthi2kiran

Being a ret pally, I tried to do this solo but failed. I tried running towards the shado pan guys hoping that they will aggro nalak. If I ran fast, the add wouldn't spawn. If I ran slow, nalak would eventually come after me and kill me. Once, add was at very low health before I died.
Later another player came and he tanked nalak while I kited the essence and finished the quest. I'd like to thank all you nice people out there for such huge help either in game or on forums.

Kommentar von loganwt

I did the quest and received the Tempered Lightning Lance but the quest says i still need to unlock the Foot of Lei Shen. Anybody know if I can do anything to fix this?

Kommentar von JPENN

For me the spear it and back up trick did not work. So as a Death Knight make sure your Army of the dead is not glyphed so they taunt. Summon them. Throw the spear at Nalak and your army will start attacking Nalak and you just run back up the steps until the essence dies. At that point Nalak finished my Army off and seemed quite upset with me but I used the portal back over to the Shado-Pan and voila done.

Kommentar von DarwinXavier

Here's another less complicated strat. Get a tank friend or someone with a lot of durability, and also some kind of speed boost. Ideally I like using bear/cat druids for this. You throw the spear and do NOTHING except steadily kite your storm add away from Nalak. Meanwhile your tank friend immediately taunts the boss and runs southwest down the stairs. He'll pop some defensive cds and speeds cds like stampeding roar. The idea is to make Nalak despawn, which will happen around the bottom gate. I usually use taunt, stampeding roar, barkskin, survival instincts, cat form, dash in that order.

Kommentar von 1061447

20 times to get it done as a Mistweaver Monk. I just kept trying the "despawn" methods and NOTHING worked. 3rd stair, 3rd stair from the top, 3rd stair from the bottom. Nalak wouldn't despawn. Perhaps it is because I'm human - run slow - but I even used "Tiger's Lust" to run fast. Just wouldn't despawn. I tried running out the other side (opposite the Shado-pan stairs). That despawned Nalak, but didn't keep the orbs active.

So FINALLY I found mushy2000's posting specifically about Mistweaver Monks - and THAT worked: Spear, then run up the stairs, THEN fire up Xuen to hold the aggro on the orbs. THEN just run far enough away that Nalak despawned. Since Xuen was holding aggro, the orbs also remained. Then it was just "wait for it to be done".

I don't know WHY all of the other methods failed, but I *had* to have something hold Orb Aggro while getting far enough away from Nalak to despawn - to get it to work.

I'm a Frost mage, and I tried almost everything I'd read on here for a mage to do to complete this. None of it worked. <.<

Then I asked from my guild, and one of 'em threw a helpful idea, which I tried and it worked perfectly and ever so easily!

Throw the spear at Nalak.
Back up to the stairs that lead to the portal, use Mirror Image and back up some more. Nalak will focus on them 'til they die.
After your Mirror Images die, use Ice Block.

That was enough time for me to capture the essence. :) And all in a simple, easy and safe way without any ridiculous movement rituals!

Kommentar von Soybeanie

This should work for anyone. Go down to the steps near the ToT entrance, facing Nalak. Slowly inch closer while spamming the spear until it's in range. Nalak should just despawn, leaving you with the add high in the air, about 80% dead by the time it reaches the ground. You don't really have to move much. Quest complete.

Kommentar von Mullygrubb

As of 5.4.8

Unlock the Foot of Lei Shen 0/1
Tempered Lightning Lance 1/1 (Complete)

Look familiar?

You have to complete up to and including Der Sturz von Shan'Bu, the 6th 'Isle of Thunder' Solo storyline Scenario in order to complete the "Unlock the Foot of Lei Shen" requirement of Geist des Sturmfürsten.

Kommentar von 923342

This quest is really easy.
I soloed this as a resto druid using cat form. First, I died 12 times until I figured it out.
1) Go to the steps behind Nalak, where the guards and the entrance to TOT are.
2) Center of steps, go to the third tile out.
3) Change into cat form
4) Throw spear at Nalak
5) Turn around and go back up the step towards guards. at the top of the steps, Nalak should depawn and you are left with the Essence chasing you.
6) Run around the square, staying as far away from the Essence as you until the essence dies.
7) Quest complete.
Do not attack Nalak directly.
Once I figured this out, the quest took about thirty seconds and I took no damage whatsoever.
*sigh*

Kommentar von Kilrathi3

Arcane mage, by far the easiest I have done.
1. stand at his rear bottom of the steps where the guards are incase you need them to engage.. but shouldn't need.
2. toss lance.
3. pop mirror image and wait for them to engage, then go inviso
the ghost monstah should have appeared by now, having a orange focus beam on you
4. run away from it, into the courtyard but not toward nalak :-), use a swiftness pot.
done.

Kommentar von Tisina

As SP I had some difficulties with it.

Specc in spectral guise. Pull Nalak, run to the stairs of ToT. Then pop spectral guise and run towards the middle of the courtyard. By the time you arrive there, Nalak will despawn. Leaving you with the elemental.

The kiting to the panda's guarding the ToT entrance didn't work for me. Nalak didn't despawn and he still killed me.
Only combat resets will work here i guess. From shadowmeld, spectral guise to invisibility of rogue and mages.
Probably for warlocks and hunters.. let yr pet attack and then dismis it or run far enough away to let yr pet despawn. So will Nalak, but not the elemental.

Kommentar von 1211406

Did this quest as a Holy priest. I stood on the side with the shado-pan guys got close enough to throw the spear and then ran up toward them they engaged nalak i out ran both nalak and the essence so i thought i was screwed but i saw that he was still attacking the shado-pan guys so i took a chance and threw the lance at nalak again. He didn't come after me or attack me but the essence did appear again and followed me around it doesn't hit hard so i just ran around until it died and quest completed. Hope this helps. Note: once you get the panda guys fighting nalak run back into the courtyard or you will die shoot him again from the stairs.

Kommentar von dragon0042

Failed many times. Lucky some Hoard showed up to kill Nalak, while they busy, i hit him with the spear, kited the add, and finished the quest. Good luck all.

Kommentar von thilithedruid

I followed the instructions about lancing Nalak and running back into the room where the SPA guards are. Nalak followed me, but the Essence did not spawn. This happened multiple times, including a few where Nalak killed me. I'd read someone in the comments say that they had to lance Nalak twice, so the time it ended up working, I pulled him, let the SPA guards engage, and then, sneaked around the place where the guards were fighting Nalak, ran back into the courtyard and lanced Nalak again. This time the Essence did spawn, followed me around, and died, just like it did for everyone else.

If you are going to try this method, keep a few health pots around if you don't have self heals. There's enough AOE damage from Nalak as you run around him that I was down to about 30% health, and barely made it. 537 Destro Lock, not that it mattered for this method.

Kommentar von Tinkaroo

I just completed this on my Resto Shaman. I started behind Nalak, where the Shado-Pan NPCs were. I summoned my earth elemental, then threw the spear at Nalak. I stood there and waited for the essence to spawn, then I turned around and slowly made my way back to the NPCs, while my earth elemental was tanking Nalak. He lasted just long enough for the quest to complete. Then I zoned into the purple portal thing on my left, to lose aggro of Nalak and hearthed back to the city. I assume anyone with a "tanking" pet could do this, with just enough time to complete the quest.

Pretty easy to solo as a Ret Pally (530) with Engineering. Throw spear at max range with nalak at an angle in the yard. Nitro boots, start kiting, spam Judgement for Long Arm of the Law, Execution Sentence / DP / Devo yourself, more LAotL Judgments, Bubble when he gets to you, Selfless Healer FoL / WoG yourself, pop wings / Holy Avenger and Judge / Exo WoG Spam yourself. Should get you to the end pretty easily.

An important note for everyone attempting to SOLO this quest.

As many before have stated, you can make Nalak despawn safely by using Vanish / Feign death, due to the fact that the quest mob doesn't despawn.

Classes without this kind of mechanic can safely use Kondensierter Jadenebel produce the same effect.

Kondensierter Jadenebel drops from Jadenebeltänzer in the Timeless Isle.

Step 1.- Throw Spear and wait for the quest mob to spawn (A second or so)..
Step 2.- Use Kondensierter Jadenebel.
Step 3.- PROFIT!

Tested this myself last night and it worked at the first try.

Hope this helps to get your Legendary Cape before the quest is removed forever :(

If anyone was having trouble with the Foot of Lei Shen not completing but you have completed all of the solo scenarios, abandoning the quest and getting it again from Wrathion in the Tavern in the Mists has fixed it for me. Bit of a hassle....

Very late in the day, but....

Here's a soloing technique which should work for any class.

Obtain some Pi'jiu Brews from Pi'jiu village in Timeless Isle. I used all 3 types at once, but you could probably do this with just the 'Thick' brew from Spectral Brewmasters.

Go down the steps, then 3 tiles out into the courtyard with Nalak. Pop your brew(s), which summons Spectral Pandareans to fight for you. They will tank Nalak down in the courtyard when you run away.

Pop the spear, starting the event. The turn around and run to the top of the stairs, but NOT as far as the round disk in the floor. Use a speed enhancement if you have one, but you probably won't need it. A golden line can be seen connecting you to the extra mob which comes out of Nalak.

When you get a little past the top of the stairs, turn around. As the extra mob with the line to you should be approaching you. You don't want it to reach you, but if you go too far it will despawn. Kite it around the area at the top of the stairs until it dies (which it does quickly - you don't need to dps it).

Quest done - go back to Wrathion at Tavern in the Mists.

I have attempted to finish this about 15 times, I'm getting quite frustrated.
I'm a fury warrior, which limits my speed ups. I can get to the top of the stairs before he starts attacking me, & I wait as the comments say but he just gets closer & kills me.
I feel as though I'm doing it mostly right, the add is spawning but Nalak is not despawning, he is continuing to attack me throughout the fight, which is obviously not lasting long.
If anyone has any ideas that would help me I would really appreciate it.

As of 6.0.3 I don't know If its a bug or what, but you can pull Nalak (not with the spear, since it seems to need a closer range to hit) now not near the entrance to ToT but at the opposite side, the one you come from (the one he faces when respawned), and let the shadopan tank him (and not die, since I think there are Mistweaver nearby who will keep healing the brewmasters).
Then you can use the Kondensierter Jadenebel to drop agro. From outside the central area you can see the yellow line linking you to the Add (assuming you threw the spear on Nalak after he got 'tanked' by the shadopan), wait for it to come a bit close, then run to the central area and start kiting it around. Profit.

This strat may work will ALL classes and specs, those already with a threat drop skill (Vanish, Feign Death, Ice Block, etc) may try just throwing the spear at him and using it, but since the prepatch, some bugs may occur now :s.

Kommentar von Kranzil

If you can manage to kite him to the Shadowpan guards, let them take agro from you and throw Lightning Lance once they have agro. Essenz der Stürme will spawn and follow you then all you have to do is kite him until he dies from the quest item.

This is for the Pre-WoD Patch

Unser nächstes Ziel ist es, diese Waffe mit dem Blut eines Halbgottes zu härten, der mit den Mächten des Donnerkönigs beseelt ist.

Meine Agenten berichten mir, dass der Mogu namens Shan'Bu eine solche Kreatur erschafft, mit dem Ziel, sie die Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs bewachen zu lassen.

Greift Nalak den Sturmfürsten an, sobald sich Eure Fraktion zu den Haupttoren durchgekämpft hat, und stoßt diese Lanze in seine Seite. Die Kreatur wird alles in ihrer Macht stehende tun, um Euch aufzuhalten – handelt schnell und tötet Nalak, während die Lanze noch in seinem Fleisch steckt!
