Cords 27 73, on the ledge of the tower.

He is a pretty easy kill. The only thing you really need to watch out for is his volley shot. When he starts the volley shot move back out of the range of it and wait until it is over.

You need to talk to his "pet" flambringer - who will let you control him - then attack using his abilities.

I found it easier to dismount and kill him myself.

i was finding this unreasonably difficult on my warlock. In the end i made sure i had a healthstone ready went up and did the breathing fire until the dragon failed, but as its life went down i moved it so that when i came off i landed on the ledge. Then i used the healthstone threw a few dots down and hid round the corner. It seemed my minion was able to hit him for like 5 mins without getting aggro. He kept me targeted but wouldnt come round the corner to get me. So i sat and waiting for him to die at the slow hands of my voidwalker

This is not necessarily a group quest, however... I (Deathknight) did it with a Paladin that was there for the quest too, we both mounted, The Paladin engaged and took agro while I burned him down from off to the side a bit.

Very fast (and safe) quest using this method, so if there is someone you can do the quest with, form a group and kill him quickly.

On a parting thought, I would like to see this done with a full group of 5 members? /slaughter

Edit: Epic Fail Vocabulary

This mob does not appear to move at all besides spinning. As a druid in cat form I just hit him to 5cp then ripped and backed around the corner. Rinse and repeat with healing as needed.

My Strategy was simple enough and allowed me to stay on the dragon the whole fight.

I'd start with Flame Breath (DoT), then I'd Wing Buffet and proceed to spam the fireball until either wing buffet was off cooldown or Flame Breath was done.

Happy Questing.

So apparently he can hit you and you cant hit back. the 50 yard range seems to be more like 5 yards. this should be an easy quest but turned out to be glitch heaven. Unlike every other dragon quest this one cannot heal it's self and since you do 1/4 the damage as the NPC it is quite a pain in the ass. Yet another buggy ride something quest that just doesn't work.

With my boomkin i took the dragon up to the tower, dismounted it, and then hid around the corner and let my trees do most of the work. He never targeted them so it was pretty easy just watch the volley when you get in Line of Sight of him. Keep HOTs going.

Kommentar von Zukai

was pretty easy, spammed flame breath and threw in molten fury when CD was finished,just avoid volley =]

Kommentar von myszaq

using the Wing Buffet (mind you, it has a small range) the moment it was available helped a lot here - didn't do that when i tried for the first time and ended up dead...

From wikipedia:
Thorvald Ericsson (old Icelandic: Þorvaldr Eiríksson) was the son of Eric the Red and brother of Leif Ericsson. According to the sagas, he was part of an expedition for the exploration of Vinland.

As he was unloading his longboat, for no apparent reason, a "Uniped," as the saga calls it, ran up to Thorvald and shot him in the belly with a bow and arrow, a wound which led to his death. His last words were said to have been, "This is a rich country we have found; there is plenty of fat around my belly. We've found a land of fine resources, though we'll hardly enjoy most of them."

If you are hunter, dont bring Tenacity pet, just land on the ledge and let your wolf/cat/raptor/devilsaur do the job

Kommentar von Proteja

Ended up 1k hp really soon into the fight, decided to dismount and have a try then he reset :\ Annoyed I couldn't get down I tried to just melee him with SoL and JoL + using AoW procs, worked out really well, had to use a hp pot but apart from that wasn't too hard without the dragon.

Just an alternative for people who want more of a challenge.

Kommentar von Farore

I found it to be easiest to do with the dragon in melee range. That way only the dragon takes damage; he doesn't use volley (at least didn't for me), and his melee damage isn't too much of a problem for the dragon. Wing Buffet, Molten Fury, Flame Breath spam until cooldowns are up again, and repeat until dead.

Im going to try and solo this as a 74 blood DK. I'll edit this or repost telling how i did.

*EDIT*: Killed him first try. confirmed u need to talk to his pet Flambringer. you fly on him up to Thane and u use Flambringer's moves to kill him. you take no damage unless Flambringer dies.

This guy got a facelift since screenshot was posted. He now has a sick looking helmet that i wish u could drop! YO BLIZZ

Kommentar von 528800

made it solo as druid 74. I was in close range and didn't move.
- start with wing buffet
- a lot of flame breath with "wing buffet" when available.

Kommentar von 588956

As a 73 Mage:

Land on the side of the building and dismount. Come around to the side just enough to where you can cast Blizzard or Flamestrike in front (or to the side) of him. Rinse, repeat. Evocation if you run out of mana.

Happy Thane Torvald Eriksson Day!
hinga-dinga-durgen!
:D

Solo'd as 76 affliction Warlock. I tried killing him with the dragon but the dragon lost HP way too fast, along with half the time it wouldn't hit him for ANY damage, no matter what angle or place I tried shooting at. So I ended up mounting and flying up there myself, DoTed then Shadow Bolted him off with my VW tanking.

Point of story: Just do it yourself, saves you trouble.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this...

Thane Torvald Eriksson seems to be a reference to Leif Ericson, a Norse explorer who was actually the first person to come to North America nearly 500 years before Columbus.

He was from Iceland. Also, explored parts of Greenland. (Greenland=cold, Northrend=cold, therefore Greenland(Leif Ericson)=Northrend(Thane Torvald Eriksson).).

These Vikings(Norsemen) and Vrykul look similar as well...

Well thought, Blizzard.

Than Torvald Eriksson
