Hunters: For those of you that want to learn how to kite General Drakkisath in UBRS, or plan on working on your Epic Bow / Quiver / Staff quest later on, Emberstrife is an excellent place to train. As a hunter, the General, as well as the quest involve being very skilled at kiting enemies. As such, you should brush up on your skills beforehand. Emberstrife's lair, and the surrounding swampland is a great place to train to learn how. You've got a variety of terrain to work with (raises, dips, water hazards, corners, jumps, dead-ends, etc) as well as a boss that will let you know VERY quickly if you made a mistake (he hits like a tank, at least before 2.0). In addition, it's not OVERLY populated in that region, though the mob is required for a couple of quests (on both factions). As such, you probably won't run into too many people who are looking to fight him, so you'll usually have him all to yourself, day or night. Just bear in mind though, that if someone else needs to do their quest(s) involving him, be courteous and let them do it, or even lend a hand. Remember, at the end of the day, it's the person behind the screen that your working with, not just the character. Be courteous, and you may find that the person you gave a hand to saves your skin. :)

This is the NPC that is needed to create the Seal of Ascension. Vaelan will give you the Forged Seal and a mind control item. It is important to set the seal before the fight. When Emberstrife gets to be about 10 percent, have the person forging the key try to use the orb to control Emberstrife. Simply move Emberstrife to face the Seal and have his use his breath on it.

Kommentar von 47148

Doing the Seal of Ascension quest is impossible to do on a level 70 mage. I keep accidentaly killing him by mistake, and his respawn time is SLOW AS HELL.

I'll try using my wand from like 25% to 10%, because 1 fireball at 25% kills him...

Kommentar von Caje

Lol, I did that with my 70 shaman.

I WF proc too many and boom 28%-dead. Sucked.

Kommentar von 30736

It may be worth noting for anyone having problems with casting the flame breath. If, when you mind control him, the icon is grayed out, then you need to kill him and wait for a respawn.

Chances are that the last person who used him for their seal, didnt finish him off and you can only use the ability once per spawn.

Hope this helps

This dragon was seen in crossroads on 10.8.2007 :D and was killed by about 20-30 players and a lvl 70 shaman even i helped a poor lvl 22 warior :D

Kommentar von Tamika

corpse despawn time 5 minutes, full respawn time 6 minutes (killed him accidentally while tried to complete UBRS key quest), 31-32k hp, fire breath attack (can be interrupted)

Kommentar von 50388

If you have a pet, you'll have to dismiss it when Emberstrife gets low to use the mind control item.

I find it useful to know something about what mobs hit for on certain classes with certain amount of armour on, so therefore I post my fight with him here.

Just soloed Emberstrife as a lvl 70 resto shaman. I had no problem whatsoever. My stats were:

Health: 8000ish
Mana 9500ish
Armour: 8000ish
+heal selfbuffed (i.e. including WoA totem): 1760ish

With these stats (only armour affect this, I know), Emberstrife hits for:

- Normal swing: 350 - 450
- Breath attack: up to 650 fire damage. Most attacks were resisted. Firetotem is godly if you have a low health pool.
- Cleave Attack: between 350 - 400

The fight is static and he has no adds.

You can easily place your quest items on the ground during the fight, if you want to test him out to see how much he will hit you for. Should you find that you can go through without having to prepare more and get out of combat you can place the seal on the ground while fighting him. There is an emote on you screen: "Emberstrife's will falters". When you see this, you can start to mindcontrol him.

Have fun.

Kommentar von XHowlerX

Tip for Rogues as soon as you see

"Emberstrife's will falters" emote, use Gouge.

Killed him twice during the time it takes to cast Orb of Draconic Energy, On Seal of Ascension quest. Just with auto attack.

Kommentar von Jerodast

Should've realized from the lack of a loot page here, but he is unlootable.

Kommentar von 162787

Which Quest is best for a Hunter? All of them? And what amount of XP does he give when you kill him?

Kommentar von 161457

You can solo him on lvl70. (Warlock)
But you gotta be carefull to sacrifice your demon when he gets under 10%.

'you can only control 1 summoned beast at a time.'

Kommentar von 165543

how cn u accept his quests if he is an agressive mob to both sides?

Kommentar von 160490

Tried to kill this guy at lvl 60, demonology warlock. I just sent my felgaurd in, then feared until my curse of doom finished, over and over again..... i think if i got the doom gaurd from it i might have killed it.

Kommentar von 204801

Confirmed 6 minute respawn if you accidently kill him. Easy to solo at 70.

Kommentar von 204801

Cave at the south east corner. Only mob in there. He's on a raised portion accessable from the left when you head into the cave.

Kommentar von Bayushizero

I used his Fire Breath on the Seal several times, and it did not become Forged. As of 02 Nov 08, Patch 3.0.2

Is this known to be bugged, or did I just somehow get unlucky?

Kommentar von 4018

I didn't need 2 seals. I did do it all in one instance, not sure if that makes a difference.

I ran in and farmed for the seal. When it dropped I ran back to Vaelan and he gave me the quest. I then went down and killed the appropriate bosses and got the stones. Then returned to Vaelan and he had a ? so I completed the first part.

I then ran out and traveled to Emberstrife. First thing I did was place the seal on the ground (right clicking the seal from your inventory). Then I got Ember down to 10% and cast the Orb on him. You then approach the seal and cast the spell. If you aren't close enough to the seal it won't let you cast. Once complete it will show as "Forged Seal of Ascension" on mouseoever (it shows as "Unforged" before, duh). I then ran (flew) Ember off the edge and canceled the Mind Control. Then looted the Forged Seal and killed Ember.

Next I traveled back to Thorium Point and entered the instance. I never "reset" my instance. It was either reset or all the spawns were back I don't know. I ran down to Vaelan and he immediately showed "Dwarf, you have returned" and showed a ? for a complete quest. I handed it in and got my seal (ring). Now I am running up to "open" UBRS and see how far I can get.

Just for those people on the UBRS Atunement quest, remeber to STOP Attacking him, i just killed him for the 2nd time when i was casting the spell, as soon as it was done, i hit him, kaboom, dead.
I suggest equiping a lower level weapon, i used argent avenger (which has been sitting in my bags for ages) when he was loosing HP, and remember to put the seal out, if you do it while you control Ember, he will unagro and go full HP

Kommentar von 177089

If you were hoping that you could knock out 2 seals at once... keep dreaming. I joined up with a group and we both put our unforged seals out, when his will faltered I MC'd him and used the forge ability. For some dumb reason it only forged one of the seals! We waited for MC to run out and tried to have him MC, but the forging ability's cooldown was still not up. So.. unfortunately it is 1 seal per kill.

Kommentar von 166914

I'm a lvl 73 balance druid and soloed this. I was doing the Seal of Ascension quest. Here is how you do it:
You can easily do this by aggroing him then simply right clicking on the Unforged Seal in your bag(or on your bar if you placed it on your bar like I did myself). When he gets down to 10% health, click the orb and you will switch over to Emberstrife's attacks. Use the 2nd attack(there should be two blanks in between his 1st attack and his 2nd). Before using it make sure you are close to the round thing on the ground that you placed down earlyer. Move Emberstrife after using this attack off the cliff or farther away from you to kill him. After the controls come back to your player kill him and continue on your journey to turn in your quest.

Kommentar von Milkzkrieg

He has 31k hp strange if you dont solo :P even @ 70

Kommentar von 148619

Seriously if you're doing this at a higher level, you can kill him off before you have time to use the Orb =)
Did this at 72 DK, wielded a grey quality sword and make damn sure autoattack turns off when he weakens. Killed him 3 times accidentally before that with main weapon. Btw, respawn time is 6 minutes.

Kommentar von 365520

He weakens, and is MCable around 2600hp, So be very careful

Kommentar von Idocreating

Warlocks have this guy easy. He's completely vulnerable to Fear.

As a 59 Demo lock, i had my felguard tank while i put a Curse of Weakness on him and Corruption, then kept flipping between Health Funnel and Drain Life, Fearing him when my demon got low on hp so i could heal it up.

Rinse and repeat until low hp then Fear him and dismiss your demon. Can easily MC him without him smacking you.

Kommentar von Arathiel

Thanks for the kiting training tip :) He got my bum on first training time but on second i got his bum :D Didnt drop any loot neither he was skinnable... Took over 5 mins to take him down though so maybe bug :)

Soloable by any hunter who knows how to kite and hit him ofc

Kommentar von 534518

I just did him solo, was tricky to know when to let go of pet, tho. Tip, when he hits 6k hp, begin dismiss pet, shot off a couple of rounds to take down the last part, NO dots, throw out the seal, knock down a HPpot if you need to, you're going to take a beating before the orb takes effect, (herbalist can use lifeblood, that's useful), use the orb when you're supposed to, and voila; There's your dragon, ready to burst flames. But keep in mind, any and all hpboosters shall be taken BEFORE you use the orb. Do anything at all during the channeling cancels the effect, and you're just going to need redo it.

Killed him by accident a couple of times, he's one hell of a small bug for a 69 BM hunter.

As of this patch, you're not really needing the seal. I just did it for fun.

Kommentar von 558209

i did this as an 80 feral druid and i was just standing in tauren form meleeing him. you need to click off him or press esc, whatever, and make sure u stop auto attacking. i used the item as he emoted at low health without clicking off him and it resulted in him dying halfway through the cast. ><

Kommentar von Naris17

Just a brief note: If you're not a class that can root/stun/fear/polymorph him away from you, he does in fact hit really, really hard on mail (~450) and when he frenzies it gets even worse.

EDIT: Should say that I was attempting this at 60 on a shaman.

Kommentar von Archibolt

Was able to forge the Seal as a lvl 58 Prot Warrior.

Took heavy advantage of the cave's layout. I only fight him when I had Shield Block up. During those 10 secs I try to do as much DPS as possible. I also had to make sure I was standing close to the right edge of the platform to maximize the time he had to travel to get to me.

At the end of those 10 secs, I switched to Battle and Hamstrung him. Jumped down, bandaged and waited for him to get into charging distance. Once he did, charged and hamstrung again. Got up to the platform again, waited for him to get into charging distance once again, and apply another Hamstring. By now, Shield Block was up and there was only a few seconds left on Recently Bandaged. Went back to initial position, fought him with Shield Block up, then jump down. Rince and repeat.

The whole process took a bit more than 8 mins, had to use 8 Heavy Runecloth Bandages and 1 Major Healing Potion. (I am also a JC and I normally have a healthy stock of Dense Stone Statues in the bag but I used them during the first 6 unsuccesful tries.)

The key to minimizing his damage is to Bash his flame breathes, but it wasn't the easiest thing in the world - I took a few in the face because it either missed, I missed timed it or I had no rage to do so.

Once his will faltered, placed the Seal on the floor, Intimidate him and then MC him.

Died for the 7th time after MC wore off, but managed to get the finished Seal before dying :)

Kommentar von error10

Soloed as a 65 feral druid in cat form. Shifted out once to heal. He dropped nothing and was not skinnable.

Kommentar von Kazlehoff

Poor poor emberstrife, noone will ever drub him senseless, mind raep him into hostage syndrome and make him betray his people ever again. oh wait.

relic npc's can be amusing too =)

as a note, i wonder if a hunter with a white lvl1 bow and no gear (85 obv) could kite him to orgrimmar =D

Kommentar von MoarHeroisms

I came upon this beast on my level 40 mage, assuming it was a quest mob I could solo. =P
On my way back from the graveyard I looked him up, turns out he has history in the game. It's nice that some classic NPCs, even when having no purpose, remain unchanged after the Cataclysm.

Kommentar von Everliving14

I've always been interested in the Onyxia's Lair attunement quests, one of which required you to kill Emberstrife. So I was quite pleased to learn that he's still in the game. While waiting for Spawn of Onyxia spawns (pun intended) I decided to venture into his lair and kill him. It's right behind Onyxia's Lair.

First, it seems he's been buffed in 5.0.4. The comments here said that he had 30k health and hit for ~400 on mail. When I fought him on my level 61 Blood DK (in starting blues) he had 62k health and hit for 1k+ on plate. In fact, I wiped on him twice; one 27% attempt and one 3% attempt (that one was REALLY annoying). It turns out that our new heals make it doable; my Death Siphon healed me for ~70% of my health on a crit. The combination of Death Siphon and Lichborne negates his large damage output.
You could also do it using Frost kiting, though it's not as intense.

It was a very fun fight, and I really hope Blizzard keeps him in-game as a memento to all those Vanilla players who did the attunement.

Kommentar von Daniera

For giggles I killed this mob on my 60 disc priest. Got a little hairy at points, but kept renew and shield up and got him/her/it down. A bit disappointed there was no XP though :(

Kommentar von 1407179

was he part of a quest at 1 time?
