He's at the top of the Tower of Ilgalar with a Level 27 minion a level 25 Shadowhide Darkweavers, and a level 26 Darkweaver. Also at the top is a level 26 Darkweaver with two Servants of Ilgalar. The lone Darkweaver will run to the others at around 50% health and pull all of them. Nasty stuff. Come prepared.

He is lvl 26 now, not 27.

I've managed to solo this as a lvl 26 frost mage today (on my alt). took me 5 deaths, but it's quite doable. get to the top and clear the two groups that are there besides Morganth's. I killed one of the darkweavers and promtly died to the rest, ran back before he respawned, sheeped Morganth himself, ganked his succubus while counterspelling the second darkweaver, then pewed him down, resheeping Morganth and evocating. Morganth himself isn't very tough, I think he died to my 3rd or 4th frostbolt, but he managed to summon his abomination, which led to my death. all in all, very fun thing to accomplish, I reccomend you solo this at the intended level.

Is it just me or does Morganth remind you a lot of the character Morgoth in The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien? Morganth is one of three mages who studied in the mage tower of Stormwind, Morganth started studying shadowy magic and was therefore banished by his brethren. He is constantly fighting with Theocritus, a rival mage, Morganth has gone into seclusion to study the dark arts and he resides at the Tower of Il'galar in the Redridge Mountains where he is aided by the Shadowhide gnolls.
Now, Morgoth on the other hand turned to evil and was therefore banished from the Undying Lands by the rest of the Valar. He is constantly fighting with the rest of the Valar, and specifically Manwe. Morgoth took up residence in Middle Earth, specifically the mountains of Thangorodrim where he was aided by Orcs and other beasts.

This would also tie into the story of the Black Riders in Duskwood. And the names are similar too.

Thanks to Arideni for the wonderful blog post that helped me see this.

I know some of this has already been mentioned, but I thought I'd recount my own experiences soloing this guy as a 25 Warlock, say some things to look out for.

The first thing, which I know was already mentioned, was the adds. On the top floor of the Tower of Ilgalar there are 3 groups; two are each a Shadowhide Darkweaver (casts curse of weakness and shadowbolt) and two Servants of Ilgalar (cast mana burn). Assuming you've taken care of these two groups (be sure to not let the gnolls run into the other groups) you're left with only Morganth's group; two of the Darkweavers, Morganth, and his succubus. If you kill the succubus you get a 5th mob, a stitched horror named Minion of Morganth. Needless to say, attempting to solo this group at 24-27 without some form of crowd control is difficult in the extreme, doubly so since the two gnolls and Morganth are casters, to kiting and roots don't work on them. Also of note on the group is it is a fairly high damage group; the Darkweaver shadowbolts pack quite the punch for the level, and Morganth and his demons aren't short on the damage either. As an example for this, when I first tried pulling this group, I personally tried tanking one of the gnolls while my Voidwalker tanked Morganth, the other gnoll, and his succubus; my Voidwalker was dead right around the time I killed my gnoll, despite going all out on it and despite my having a Glyph of Voidwalker for the encounter. So yes; be prepared for a lot of magical damage.

Ok, so by now you've thought about the adds and kind of planned a strategy against it, just keep on more thing in mind in all this, and that's the somewhat brisk pace of respawns in the tower. Again pulling from my personal experience, when I died that first time and ran back to the tower, by the time I climbed to the top to res, one of the two other groups on the top floor of the tower (Darkweaver + two Servants) had already respawned. And by the time I took care of that, the other had respawned. Fortunately, I managed to pull Morganth's group without pulling that group, as I wanted to kill him before the Darkweavers I'd killed on the first death had respawned. Which was a good thing, since by the time I killed Morganth and his succubus and Minion, they had in fact respawned, and promptly killed me. Still, I got the quest item, so I suppose it worked.

It's a really tough fight, and I don't see that I would have had much of an easier time with it at level 26 (like the above posters) or even 27. I wasn't very twinked out on this character, so I can see it possibly being a little easier with a twinked out character of certain classes as long as you keep the fight in mind. Anyways, good luck with the fight, and try not to die! I thought I did pretty well with only 2 deaths myself, but I'm sure someone can do better out there at a similar level.

SPOILER WARNING:

This guy is actually a black dragon.

Kommentar von Hawksong

Uhm, the quest to kill this guy is listed as a Horde quest. But it's part of an Alliance chain quest...?

Also, some of the comments I'm seeing from older patches are talking about this guy like he's Morganth...so, does this mean he's taking the place of Morganth, or what?

I'm so confused :(

Has he been taken out of the game because Grand Magus Doane is in his place, but the quest to kill Morganth is still there.

Kommentar von adashiel

Morganth was removed and Doane has taken his place. The two are apparently different people but share the same unit ID and it looks like their graphics are also the same.

This is the attire that the NPC wears: http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items=7526.214:7713:62846:24691.-26:7519.873:7522.861

Unfortunately, only the Horde has access to that robe model.
