Kommentar von Eliandor

Ideal kill group should have ranged DPS since the guy teleports across the room frequently. He also does a polymorph/charm ability that turns random party members into wolves. Otherwise, a tank and spank fight well-suited to the zone's level range. Drops good cloth pieces and a very nice twink weapon.

Kommentar von blueocean

Just drain his mana with viper sting (hunters are useful sometimes :) ), when he gets out of mana it's easy to kill him.

Clear out his room before beginning the battle like always when fighting bosses.

Have your ranged classes preferably up against the ledges (if they can attack from there) or at the top of the staircase where you enter the room (if they can't use spells from the ledge).

Tank runs up and starts to get aggro, after a couple of seconds commence dps.

Arugal's main damage comes from his spells, if he runs out of mana he is pretty weak.

If he manages to kill some one he gets 50% of his total MP back everytime he kills some one.

He occasionally teleports around his room (usually one or twice a battle, maybe more if the battle goes on for long). When he does this be catious of attacking him too much until the tank gets back to him as he can kill a non tank quickly.

He usually will mind control one member for a couple of seconds, so be ready for that oo.

Other than his teleporting and mind controlling he's fairly straight forward and easy.

Arugal was once a member of the Kirin Tor.but when the scourge destroyed dalaran and lots of the wizards died and came back by the necromancers,he fled to Shadow Fang Keep whitch is on a mountain next to Pyrewood village while the dalaran army was decreasing in people Arugal was elected to summon extra-dimensional monsters to help the dalaran people against the Scourge.This brought the Worgen into Azeroth the wolf-men not only killed the undead but also betrayed the wizards.Driven mad with guilt Arugal ran to Shadow Fang Keep and adopted the Worgen as his children.
he still lives there with his huge pet,Fenrus.

we did him once with 3 men i was paladin lvl 23 priest 24 and mage was 24 or 25 was pretty hard

Kommentar von 30053

This fight is alot different than I remember it being back in the day ... I remember seeing him porting once in all the runs i did in the past, so it was a rarre thing, and the charm thing is completely new to me. now, about what Tupac said about gaining MP after killing a player ... i didnt watch his MP at all so idk, but i did notice after he had killed all but me in my last group, he was almost back to full, so maybe he leeches life the same way? I first assumed that, being a pally, i healed him when i was charmed, but i dont remember seeing myself cast anything.

Kommentar von 57435

me as a mage at this fight ran out of mana and used evocation, while evocating he turned me into a worgen but kept channeling, so i guess if ure using a chaneled spell it doesnt affect you but maybe it was a glitch

Kommentar von 77380

He's the last boss in SFK. He is pretty hard and he can teleport. He always drops a blue

Kommentar von 59431

He can be a difficult boss to take down. Especially since his attacks pack quite a punch. Not only that but he can take control of a player and temporarily make them a werewolf. Also when his health goes down he teleports to 3 different locations which make it hard for the melee guys to attack him. A good healer and a good plan is a must for this guy.

Kommentar von Brmonkey

The main thing to keep in mind, if you're the tank that is, to just LOS him when he teleports, it's very easy since there are lots of overhangs and corners to run behind. He'll go through a long cast that will just end and your DPS can just beat away at him until he teleports again. If you're really good, he won't get a single cast off on you :)

Kommentar von Nerizor

His helm and shoulderpads are extremely well-looking, and there are no items with those models in the game at current.

Kommentar von sideswipe

Arugal isn't really that hard to take down if you know what your doing. I found it very easy to pull him into the room where you kill Wolf Master Nandos. Have everyone hide in one the corners that are closest to the door and have someone pull him with ranged. When he ports just wait until he comes back. If you do it right he should die some what quick.

Kommentar von 85114

I just went killing him for the quest for Undercity reputation. Was quite a hard fight (soloed as level 35 rogue :o, but as an enchanter I had a bit of an advantage that pretty much all my gear is enchanted, also a load of pots and scrolls).
Anyways, I can confirm that when he charms, he does not only restore mana, but also health!
I had him down to about 20%, then he charmed me. The good thing was that my health went back to full, the bad thing was that his went back to about 70-80%.
I don't know though if the amount he regenerates has anything to do with the level, until now I've only been in Shadowfang Keep to run a friend through for the belt and robe and that was with my old level 60 hunter.

Kommentar von Mortuus

Arugal is the first fight to actually prove interesting.

He randomly transforms one member of your party into a maddened wolf (still capable of using your abilities) to be turned on your allies.

He teleports around the room (randomly)

and he has a ridiculoud amount of health for this level.

Best 5-man fight pre-BC, sadly

Kommentar von 35102

tried tanking as 22 lvl, with 960 health, yeah ur tank needs a good 1100 health because his void bolt would hit me for 250 and then he melee for 250.
Not a fun boss,
oh and don't say group was low-level, cause we chain-pulled whole instance. this boss is just uber for the trash

Kommentar von InfinityX

For some odd reason, and this was completely undocumented and widely unnoticed, in 2.2 his shoulder graphic was changed to be even cooler than it was. The green lava-like texture actually animates on his shoulders.

I know I definitely thought he was the coolest NPC in World of Warcraft since the first time I saw him, and now they did even better than that. Go Blizzard :)

Kommentar von Barrow

While Arugal has been simplified a bit in 2.3 (he is level 21 now, as Satukie stated), he can still hit quite hard. Just got done duo'ing him with a 24 paladin and 25 warlock, which resulted in multiple deaths, only to be defeated by use of very careful kite/heal tanking and abusing line of sight as much as possible. His melee isn't too terribly hard hitting, but his shadow bolts pack a punch. Also, he has an AoE stun that is followed up by a shadowbolt.

Also of note is that if he polymorph/charms the last person alive, he will reset and drag the charmed player back up to his spawn, where he will fully recover.

To make this easier, my suggestion would be to keep kiting him up, down, and around the stairs leading into the room if you are having difficulty tanking him, and have the other group members stay at max range towards his spawn. This way, if he charms the tank, the group has time to run and get out of LoS from Arugal while giving the tank extra time for his charm to wear off. Additionally, his shadowbolts take long enough to cast that even if you get stunned, you usually have .5 to 1 second to still get out of sight after the stun wears off.

Kommentar von Mongatsumi

Just a note of interest, if you manage to kill him while he is teleporting to a new location, he will die somewhere unreachable (cannot be seen either, but can be targeted with /tar Arch). Just happened to my group :)

Didn't put in a ticket since a re-clear was faster, but Blizzard might have remedied the issue.

Kommentar von terrorblade

bighnry something is seriously wrong with you or your equip and i just prey you arent a paladin or warrior, because my lvl 22 VW has over 1050 health! either VW are just naturally have massive bulks of health or you better get better stam equips

Kommentar von xaratherus

Our group ran SFK over the weekend, and we may have found an easy way to beat him if you're a Paladin:

Our pally dropped Judgment of Justice on him. It appears this kept him from teleporting away, since all his teleport spots are outside the range allowed by Judgment of Justice (i.e., it saw his teleports as an attempt to flee). This meant that our melee DPS was far more effective since he couldn't run away.

At least it seemed that's how it worked. He didn't teleport once during the entire battle in our case, so if it wasn't because of JoJ, then we got really lucky.

Kommentar von 133805

I noticed that in Arugal's dialog between he and Vincent, he mentions a 'Master' was wondering if anyone might be privy to what or who this Master might be?

Kommentar von Heenk

As of 2.3, this is the only mob in the game that can drop Shadowfang

Kommentar von 9697

With the release of WotLK, Arugal will be resurrected by Arthas to serve him in Northrend as a level 7X+ elite dungeon boss (presumably). Along with him will come his Worgen, of course. As for what will happen to SFK, whether someone new will come in, SFK will shut down, there will be no final boss, or they'll pull a Kael'Thas on us, has yet to be revealed.

Kommentar von 149363

actiually i asked whhy arugal is so hard when thinking on the rest of SFK. He has even 123-200 melee dmg. So i asked a GameMaster. He said: "To Scare People?" lol.

anyways, about arugal being weak when he has no mana. WRONG he strikes hard with his staff.

Kommentar von 153133

Arthas is almost a demigod, a unquestionbly the most powerful being on azeroth (the planet).

Kommentar von 153133

This battle can be hellish if you have a lot of melee fihgters in you group. Clear the room floor of all mosnters of course and buff up fully. His main attack is a "Void Bolt" which is essentially like a Shadowbolt on crack. This spell hits VERY hard, for around 300's on leather. He also teleports around before he casts them. He can also mind control of your group members, turning them into Worgen for a brief period of time. This is usually whoever is first or secind on aggro. If he mind controls your healer, you're done. DO NOT attack the mc'ed person, just nuke Arugual

Kommentar von Sunlar

Me and two friends cleared this instance yesterday, me being a lv 26 Warlock, and my party members being a lv 25 Rogue and a lv 23 Mage. The whole place was pretty much straightfoward since I had Atlas to guide us around, the bosses were quite simple, but Arugal was something worth of notice: Although we were lucky enough not to get charmed, and actually he only blinked once, he still managed to kill our rogue, and at about 14% he killed me (I ressed like 5 seconds after that with a soulstone), and it was just me and our mage finishing him off. I recommend bringing some shadow resistant gear if you have any, due to his Void Bolt attack, which, as someone said above, is pretty much a Shadow Bolt on Crack, 5 of these between levels 20 and 26 can pretty much kill you, and since my group only consisted of three people, I can't say we had an easy time with him. Unfortunately, he didn't drop his robe :(

Good luck to anyone attempting this, it is easy, but do come prepared.

Kommentar von 165924

I kill him solo my druid 30 lvl but that is so hard

Kommentar von 166486

Great thing about soloing this guy - nobody to kill when you become a worgen :D

Kommentar von 158969

this is the boss fight thats is the 1 of the funniest boss fight in game. most of the other low lvl bosses got some adds or maybe a nasty aoe attack that is easy to avoid but this dude got:
*teleport
* 4.100 hp
*transform a random char into worgen under his command
*hits pretty hard

the best grp to down him his
a undead warr tank is the best cause of the racial shadow resistance
a druid healer for the hots or a priest
and ranged dps
and ofc try to do him with lvl 19 only :P

wish that they made a heroic sfk or CoT: shadowfang keep were he is lvl 82 (its likely that they would do it wotlk... or atleast hope) just so we could kill him again

Kommentar von Stretch

You can actually see this guy before you fight him. As soon as you enter the instance, you can (sometimes) see Arugal laughing at a slain Deathstalker. And when you do see him, walk up to the gate seperating you and him, and you can read some extra dialog of him talking to the body like a necrophiliac.

i wish he'd drop his shoulder pads...

Kommentar von Telendrill

Archmage Arugal will be renamed in Wotlk as Shade of Arugal - http://www.wowwiki.com/Shade_of_Arugal.

He is revived via The san'layn a group of elven princes who have become darkfallen, traveled to Silverpine to resurrect Arugal in the Lich King's service by conducting a ritual in Pyrewood Village at the foot of Shadowfang Keep. This will be seen with the quest Out of Body Experience, wich will show a vision about the ressurection.

good idea to have 1 or more ranged people in the group take out the boss first then hit the trash at the bottom of the room

Kommentar von 93193

If you have a warlock or priest that are at least lvl24 with you, tell them to use mana burn/mana drain. If he is out of mana, he won't cast Void Bolts and he won't turn party members into worgen. This makes the fight extremely trivial.

Tried to kill him with just a 24 Pally and a 24 'Lock (both 22 trained), but it didn't work out. I think the lowest e had his HP was somewhere and 75%. :(

Kommentar von 166878

If your tank is lowesh level (18/19) this fight can be a real B because 1 hit is like over half health

Kommentar von 258919

Soloable as a 30 hunter, easy. Just clear the room below him and send your pet up to take care of him.

I started off with Aspect of the Viper and when he got down to around 2/3 health I switched to Aspect of the Hawk. Just have your pet tank him so Arugal is facing the ramp you came up while you stand on the ledge between the entrance and Arugal. Auto-fire, serpent sting, and arcane shot him down as soon as you can. Use Rapid Fire (and Blood Fury if you are an orc). A good way through, he will teleport. If you are lucky, he'll teleport to the ledge near the door so you can continue to bombard him from your location. If not, find him and you'll be able to finish him off quickly.

I beat him without him casting the mind control, so it's not too hard. The void bolt was a joke because my pet had 30 resistance, which is a decent amount when fighting a gray level boss.

Kommentar von Xicon

Archmage Arugal was once a mage of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. Following the rise of the Scourge, Arugal used the works of another mage, Ur, to summon the creatures known as the Worgen into Azeroth. Though the Worgen aided the Kirin Tor in pushing back the Scourge, they soon turned on the mages and proved too much to handle. Thus, Arugal was forced into exile at Shadowfang Keep, where he continues his studies of the Worgen.

He is one of two individuals to summon Worgen into the world, the other being Sentinel Velinde Starsong. Her Worgen were summoned by using the Scythe of Elune, however, not through the use of interdimensional magic.

Her last known whereabouts are the Great Sea - she was sailing to the kingdom of Gilneas, just south of Shadowfang. Her disappearance and loss of the Scythe of Elune remain a mystery, however it is possible that Arugal claimed the Scythe for himself.

Kommentar von Elarieline

Shouts several short but easy for me to remeber from the many times I went toe to toe(head to head) with Arugal, with a group of course but anyway

Aggro:

* You, too, shall serve!

Transforms player into a Worgen:

* Release your rage!

Killing a player:

* Another falls!

Kommentar von 428824

today when i was doing shadowfang keep on my 31 pally helping a 22 pally i had a bug... we got to the very end and when i got arugal to 100 hp he turned me into a wolf teleported away then returned with full health and mana he killed the 22 pally pretty quickly then i fought him for like 5 min. non stop then gave up and let him kill me. now i've done shadoefang before on a lower lvl hunter and did not have his problem.

Kommentar von 422006

I personally think it would be a bit weird to (with the upcoming playable Worgen race in the third expansion Cataclysm) have Arugal cast the worgen morph spell ON another worgen. It will also give you a gut-wrenching feeling to kill your own brethren.

Kommentar von 390201

Went to sfk as a lvl 22 tankadin with a 22 priest on heals, a 18 rogue and 17 holy priest for dps. Definitely not the ideal group, but it was all I could gather up after 2 hours of searching. No one does low level instances in groups anymore.

We managed to clear most of the instance with no problem. Arugal though, was a completely different ballgame. After getting him down to about 75% hp he mc'd me, and I killed the 17 priest almost immediately. Since I was mc'd, I no longer had aggro, so he targeted the rogue after he teleported and made short work of him. After that, I managed to grab aggro and got him down to 50% hp. He mc'd me again, but luckily the 22 priest shielded and took off running. This happened 3 more times before we finally managed to kill him. My mana was gone, and my hp was almost gone as well, so it was a very close fight.

Long story short, even with a 100% fail group this guy is beatable. You just have to have a lot of determination, skill, and luck. The hardest part is grabbing aggro back after you lose control. If he's on the opposite side of the room you need to get there asap, or people will start dying.

Kommentar von Abomb

what Xicon said about the sentinel person going to gilneas can explain the worgen race in cataclysm

Kommentar von 150667

Just soloed him as a lvl 26-27 pally (dinged 27 midway through the instance) in full Heirloom gear. Doable, but only with a bit of luck. His MC missed 3 times in a row and even then I still ended the fight at about 300 health.

Kommentar von 397318

"HAHA NOOB! Don't screw with Arugal or you get ROFLSTOMPED! /teleport"

I can picture that perfectly..

Kommentar von Merowlin

SFK is run by a white man named Arugal, this white man has enslaved a bunch of creatures called Worgen. The Worgen drops water melons and haunch of meat, the haunch of meat icon would suggest chicken legs. Now, Worgen spelled backwards is.... I mean, is this an intentional racist joke by Blizzard? Thanks.

Kommentar von 493928

Wow, really? I suppose next you're going to be repeating "back, and to the left, back, and to the left" like that's credible evidence too, eh? Funny joke man but this is the same dungeon in the same game where a big bad wolf (Fenrus) drops a (very good) cape - take nothing seriously. Plus it's not as though "Worgen" are an original idea, pretty sure those have been in novels for well over a century now. If it's a racist pun, it's not one of Blizzard's making.

That said, I solo'd the entire dungeon as a level 32 ret pally. Having attempted to solo WC 4 times (level 28, 29 twice, and 31) I can tell you this is MUCH easier, even the fight with Arugal. Having not considered Judgment of Justice as someone noted earlier, I followed the same procedure with Arugal that I did with the rest of the dungeon. If undead, then cast Exorcism followed by Judgment of Light and then melee. If not, then cast Hand of Reckoning followed by Judgment of Light and then melee. All with Blessing of Might and Seal of Command, as well as a Weak Troll's Blood Elixir that I forgot I had until halfway through the instance while I was trying to free up some bag space.

Anyhow, all was easy, just over 1500 HP and never dropped below 300 the entire time. Then I got to Argual. With ZERO shadow resistance his hardest Shadow Bolt hit me for 67 damage. Not even kidding. He teleported twice but for whatever reason never tried to morph me at all, maybe I was just beyond his effective level, not sure, and in both times he never broke LoS so he was still an easy kill. Ended the fight with over 1040HP remaining and my lowest point was just under 900.

Then he turns around and drops a cloth belt. And I'm a ret pally. And my alt is a 239 skill blacksmith. Yeah, scratch that buddy.

Anyhow...was fun, and I'll do it again (a few times if it keeps dropping greens this often...) but not nearly as hard as some have hyped it to be. I could easily see a group of 3 around 21/22 doing this without anyone falling under 50% HP so long as people fill their roles properly.

Kommentar von 173563

I'm curious, does the staff that Arugal carries, drop anywhere in the game?

Kommentar von 242565

heh, i would have been pleased if blizz would make some kind of event of arugal's kill, when lich-king comes, kills him and ressurects as an undead, and then you're getting loot)

Kommentar von 118228

Warlock solo strategy.
This is quite a straightforward fight as a level 25 demon specced warlock with heirloom items. (1k hp, 40 spellpower, void at 1.5k hp) Basically, spam Drain Mana on him until he runs out. He only has 2k. Once his spells are gone, he'll just be beating on your voidwalker with his staff. I pulled him to the wolfmaster's room so that you have time to bandage up your pet when he teleports. Just let him run back to you, keep him dotted up and oom and he should die. I kept up my void with health funnel easily enough, but if you needed to, you could stay low on aggro just draining mana until your void was about to die, sacrifice for the damage shield, and pull out another one with Fel Domination to pick him up again. If you've just been draining mana, torment and suffering will get him onto your void number 2 and you should hopefully be able to beat the now oom boss. He regens slowly, but one channel of drain mana takes away a good chunk of 300 mana. Good luck fellow warlock soloers!

Kommentar von GodMother

Arugal FTW !

Kommentar von 60649

Here was my strategy for soloing as a 25 BM hunter with full heirloom gear. Stand at the doorway and send your pet in. Keep mending up at all times. When your pet gets low, pull aggro so Arugal shoots a few void bolts at you. When you get to half health or so, LOS Arugal's ranged attacks with the doorway to Nandos' room and bandage. Your pet will chase Arugal as he runs to you and should pull aggro back off him If he doesn't, continue LOS'ing the void bolts with the door until your pet has aggro, then just burn him down. Do not try to tank Arugal's void bolts, they do about 250 per hit.

Kommentar von 258919

Will be making a comeback in Cataclysm. Seeing as he was already ressurected in Grizzly Hills, this means that he is one of two to take (first?) place in comebacks, tied only with this guy.

just soloed sfk as a 20 shockadin (22 by the time i got to arugal) - after a lot of him teleporting and resetting i learned that running between the rooms (fast) while smashin him is the way to go - dont stop moving, if u are always in a different room he wont teleport (didnt for me anyway)
