Die Ausgeburt von G'nathus droppt von G'nathus, der nördlich von der Insel Shan'ze Dao, in der Tonlongsteppe in Pandaria, schwimmt. Am besten gelangt ihr dort hin, wenn ihr in der Shado Pan Garnison das "Portal nach Shan'ze Dao" benutzt. Dann fliegt die nördliche Küste ab und haltet Ausschau nach einem riesigen Aal.

Die Ausgeburt von G'nathus hat eine Dropchance von 79.44% und lehrt euch das Haustier Ausgeburt von G'nathus.
"Einige Pandaren glauben, dass G'nathus ein uralter Loa der Zandalari ist, der zurückgeblieben ist, um die Wasser südlich von Lei Shens Inselfestung zu bewachen."

G'nathus hat eine Respawnzeit von ca. 15-20 Minuten.

Hier noch ein Video, wo genau ihr G'nathus finden könnt: https://youtu.be/XhnslGL493A

G'nathus (a giant purple eel) and his Spawn (smaller but still giant purple eels) can be found around Shan'ze Dao, an island in Townlong.

G'nathus itself has about 43 million HP and hits for 200k-300k on plate, and it paths all around the island except for a point where it turns back around. Its Spawn have about 4 million HP and hit for about 20k-30k (same for its ranged Nature damage attack) on plate, and they can be found at various elevations underwater, from just beneath the surface to hundreds of yards below.

I imagine the sole method of killing G'nathus will be kiting, much like the Whale Shark (which can also be found swimming in various incarnations in Pandaria).

Neither mob has a known loot table. The Spawn seems to be that of a generic mob, with chances of world drops and green uncommon items as well as Motes of Harmony and grey trash items.

3 maned him today for fun and dropped some grey blood that vendors for 9g nothing else.

Encountered him at 26, 5 and followed him until 17, 17 Where he turned around and started swimming back. So you can find him along the other side as well.

Kommentar von Tempu

Unlike the whale shark of vash'jir, this sea creature can keep up with a back-pedalling, scorching fire mage. And he hits hard, to boot, so you'll need a tank and at least one healer (and a boatload of patience if you don't have any dps, due to the 43.6M hp he has). Not that I see any point in killing him, there's no achievement linked to him like the whale shark had (but still, how cool would it be to say you took down G'nathus?)

Seen some new loot added in 5.1 such as the Truhe der Schlange from the Wilde Onyxschlange so killed G'nathus today with 6 people (1 tank 1 healer), wasn't difficult, but just 3 fangs dropped. on a side note DK's Dunkles Simulakrum on his Blitzschlagatem seem to be able to be used 5 or 6 times... the spell was not used up after you did your lightning attack back at him (although the dmg was very low from it).

Kommentar von Deirhese

Ausgeburt von G'nathus was just datamined recently from 5.2 PTR build 16467.

Re-edit: It now drops off G'nathus according to the latest build. Originally it was under the Dinomancers but now it drops from what I first predicted, that being G'nathus. Gotta love PTR changing a lot.

Happy day for pet collectors!

Kommentar von Balenae

Can confirm that now in 5.2 live he drops the Ausgeburt von G'nathus pet. Needed a real tank and healer to take him down, but otherwise not too hard.

If you fight him underwater, remember to breathe!

Kommentar von rhinoloupe

He can be kited and killed solo, but he absolutely must be slowed.

Warlock is ideal for doing this with constantly up. allows you to DPS while kiting, but he will still take a LONG time to down. Your life drain is enough to stay topped up through the lightning zaps. You cannot afford to take a melee hit. If he's getting close, use CC i.e. Furcht to get a bit of distance.

You will likely aggro other non-elite mobs along your kiting path, but they will reset like normal mobs when you run away, so they can be ignored.

Kommentar von Poxic

Respawn time seems to be around 10-20 minutes.

Kommentar von NightmareMJ

hits for over 550K on leather, and around 450K on leather tanks. Pretty much garenteed one shot if u arn't avoidance spec.

Kommentar von Aeolyn

You can stun this guy. I was just tanking him on my DK and our Holy Paladin threw a Hammer of Justice to try to cover for me. To our mutual surprise; it worked.

Since he hits so hard, this is a very handy trick to have up your sleeve. I started using Remorseless Winter on him every time it was up and the fight felt much smoother.

Kommentar von Zivilin

Easy-ish kite for an Ele Shaman. Run unleashed lightning glyph and thunderstorm major. I use frozen power but earthgrab works too. Just strafe backwards at an angle away and bolt him. Keep flame shock up on him. Lava Burst as much as you can. Make sure you only heal when clearcasting is up to keep your mana up. If you need space you can frost shock with frozen power, earthgrab, or capacitor totem him (though this is hit or miss). And Thunderstorm on CD. It's about a 12 minute kite at 500 ilvl.

Kommentar von citrique

Be careful kiting too close to the cliffs on the west side of his island as he can "snag" there and reset.

I just kited him to the south of the start island on my boomkin and kept him away from edges of land to avoid any chance of this. Took about 20 minutes in mostly raid finder gear.

Kommentar von Valixene

Spawns around 16, 17, on the west side and slightly south of the island. Did it today with four people (tank, healer, 2 dps) and got the pet for everyone. He re-spawned around 10 mins for us every time.

Kommentar von armyspc19695

Earlier I was able to solo him with an affliction lock. Glyphing Curse of Exhaustion makes it easy to kite but just mindlessly time consuming. I was able to just walk backwards the entire time while casting a relatively normal rotation. I only took about 200k total damage which was when i wasn't paying attention and got hit by his lightning attack. Waterwalking by soulburning Unending Breath made it a bit easier also.

Kommentar von zeegora

Confirmed 5.2 G'nathus now drops the pet Ausgeburt von G'nathus, with 100% drop chance. You can cross realm farm this quickly so all in your party can get the pet with this method.

Make a party of 5 people from different realms, 1 tank 1 healer is advised. (openraid.eu/chat or openraid.us/chat is a good place to look if you need Xrealm friends).

All agree to kill him 5 times so everyone gets the pet quickly, Kill G'nathus (no tacts required) loot 1 pet, then just invite an extra player who is afking on a new realm to swap between realms to avoid the 15 minutes respawn timer. Kick the afker, and invite a new one to transfer to a different realm.

All /need if you need pet, and /pass when you have it. Dont trust a leader who says he will pass them out at the end. If a leader doesn't trust you, dont trust him imo.

Should take about 20 mins to get 5 pets this way.

Kommentar von 1105385

Easily duo-ed as guardian druid with a disc priest smite healing took a little over 4 minutes, the pet dropped on our first kill (has it ever been confirmed its 100%?).

Also when we fought him at the top of the water he was flying above it and fighting from over the water, kinda entertaining bug.

Kommentar von Talonos

does anyone know if the new "faction tagging system" is active on this mob?

Kommentar von killertofu

Just killed this spawn with a group of 6: DK Tank, 2 Holy Priests, Shadow Priest, Enhancement Shaman, Beast Master Hunter. Took about 2 minutes to take him down. We kited him into a small cove area so we wouldn't aggro the monsters in the water. We had lots of stuns but the lightning was pretty heavy. We stayed in our group until everyone had the pet. His respawn was anywhere from 10-15 minutes for us. He seems to patrol east-west just a bit north of the island in the water. Happy Hunting.

Kommentar von darthmooster

Soloed as a Destruction warlock with 450 iLvL (basically fresh 90). Rotate healing cooldowns (Dark Regen, Imp Cauterize Master, healthstone, time Unending Resolve to eat 2 lightnings, keep ember tap w/ the glyph ticking at all times). Grim. of Service will also save you 80k damage every 2 minutes if you time the felhunter silence well (keep Enfeeblement up to slow his cast time). Shadowfury can also stop a lightning bolt. Micro the imp so it doesn't despawn to cauterize on cooldown. Keep moving, use glyph of unending breath to swim faster, spam spells to get embers, kite lots. With the unending breath speed and conflagrate slows he will never catch you. The trick is to survive, which is far easier with more gear (especially health). If you have the PvP set, you can eat lightning bolts with Nether Ward too. I pulled several mobs from time to time, including the Ancient Leviathan which almost killed me- just fear them off you and they will reset.
It took quite a bit of time pulling 20k dps (2 and 1/2 laps around the whole island, almost 30 minutes lol), but it certainly is possible. Good luck, have fun :) Certainly is a good time waster if you're bored

Kommentar von Enrage

Easily soloable (if a little boring) as a balance Druid. Hibernate, Starfire, Hibernate, Starfire (or Wrath when Eclipse proc.) repeat until dead.

This took me approximately 50 minutes in 470 gear and, happily, the pet did drop.

Kommentar von krakokot

Solo as affliction warlock.
Talents: Dark Regeneration, Mortal Coil, Sacrificial Pact, Grimoire of Sacrifice, Kil'jaeden's Cunning
Glyphs: Drain Life, Siphon Life, Curse of Exhaustion, Unending Breath
Gear: PvE (489, but not optimized for affl spec) + 4 pc of PvP (483, for Nether Ward)
Method: kiting (backstroke swimming)
Distance: 20-25 yards, addon - RangeDisplay (must have)
Area: between two big isles
Other mobs: fear
Time: 27.5 min

How: Curse of Exhaustion (70% slow), Unending Breath (+ 20% swim speed) and Kil'jaeden's Cunning allows you to use you normal dps rotation. Use your survival/healing abilities on cd. Drain life if necessary. Stop swimming if you are too far (35-40 yards), stop backstroke swimming and start normal swimming if you are too close (5-10 yards). You can use any cc to control G'nathus. And again: Curse of Exhaustion!

Kommentar von darius7777

It is easily soloable just did it with my lock affliction specced curse of exhaustion all the way mortal coil to gain some distance and heal up sometime with an ilvl of 462 it took around 35 mins to kill him i was going round the island shore!

Kommentar von ArtairRose

I found him floating around and not looking at his health I attacked him. I am a Blood Death Knight with extremely good PVE gear and was able to get him down to about 3/4 health before he killed me. It was really hard just to do that but seeing how I was able to hold him off for that long means that he shouldn't be that hard for a 2 or 3 man run at him. My suggestion for bringing him down is a blood dk, and 2 monks.

Kommentar von 1106300

Just wanted to let you guys know it's soloable on a hunter. I specced marksmanship, with spirit bond and reduced deterrence/disengage cooldown. I also used glyphs of chimera shot, animal bond, and Liberation (disengage --> heal). The constant slows from concussive barrage innate to marksmanship makes it easier, as well as the good self healing. I still had to silence shot and deterrence a few of the lightning bolts to keep my health up, but it was 100% repeatable.

Kommentar von Ronchonchon

2 maned him today, gardian druid and resto druid, 10 minutes fight

Kommentar von taohu

Soloed as frost mage. Used talents cold snap and evocation glyph + frost bomb and Incanter's ward. The combination of frost bomb explosion + frostfire bolt snare ensures almost 100% uptime of >=40% snare on him.

Use pet to pull so you start at a distance and not risk being too close. He casts lightning breath approximately every 12-13s, it can be interupted. To make it easier to interupt try to time a deep about 7-8s after a lightning breath, he will definitely cast a lightning breath immediately after the stun finishes. Continously swim back when unloading procs and use blink to gain distance when it gets too close. You can avoid lightning breath damage by ice blocking, using alter time or mirror images (3 of them will die from 1x breath). The rest is soaked by ice barrier/IW or interupted. Use cold snap to heal, if need to evocate to heal, blink to gain distance first.

Took about 11-12mins at 517 ilvl gear.

Kommentar von Allinone

Soloed as fire mage.

I was using Pandaren's Step on my boots (73% swin movement speed).
G'nathus' swin speed is slightly above that, however, I was using Blink and Blazing Speed to compensate for that difference. Also, when Mirror Image and Combustion were used, they allow to gain a bit more space.

The most important thing is obviously to keep your distance because G'nathus melees on clothies for about 350k. I was dpsing with Scorch, while keeping Nether Tempest up and using Pyrablast procs always moving sideways. Make sure to keep an eye on the minimap so you don't find yourslef in a position you can't move out of.

When you manage to sort the movement part out, which should be fairly straigthforward, the next step is to learn how to deal with G'nathus' only ability: Lightning Breath. It is a 1 second cast spell that deals about 85k nature damage. From my experience, he uses it every 8 to 10 seconds. It is extremelly important to interrupt it whenever possible. If not, make sure Ice Barrier (or Temporal Shield) is up in order to absorb/heal as much as possible.

Sometimes I was able to avoid Lightning Breath's damage by using Blink to move outside of his range.
Also, I used glyphed Evocation to compensate for some interrupt mistakes.

I was able to kill it, in just 4 pulls. Here is my experience:
- First pull: he was too deep, and I was slightly above him, allowing G'nathus to easily melee me to death right after the pull.
- Second pull: I was still trying to adapt to Lighting Breath. Can be a bit frustrating to interrupt a 1 second cast spell, specially with some latency.
- Third pull: I made a big mistake. I was kiting him while underwater without realising it. When I adjusted my position, my HP was too low. I still continued for a while, but a few failed interrupts and I was fish food. G'nathos was about 40% when I died and that was when I was sure I could solo him.
- Forth pull: dead. He dropped the pet and Ghost Iron Lockbox.

Good luck and have fun.

Kommentar von 1109869

Anyone know the spawntime on this boss?

Kommentar von 1073432

Soloed as dest lock. Glyphed fear and kept fear up to keep it in place and and used fel flame to build up burning embers. Hit chaos bolt once I had full ember and timed it so fear went off right after the bolt hit and generally I got it before the lightning could finish casting. Its takes a while but never took more than a little damage once in a while from the lightning which is easily healed up with drain life.

Kommentar von Dexity

Just killed him as a group of:

1 blood DK(497 ilvl) (me)
1 frost mage(505 ilvl)
1 arms warrior(492 ilvl).

I had to kite the beast with Eisketten and heal myself with and Todespakt, because his Blitzschlagatem hits hard. The mage did the dirty job. He kept silencing, stunning and slowing him.

The warrior couldn't do much, as soon as he got in G'nathus' melee range he was getting one shotted, so be wary.

Dropped Ausgeburt von G'nathus and took around 5-6 minutes in order to kill him. Patch 5.2

Kommentar von Heimdallen

A little extra info on how to more easily find G'nathus:

While waiting for others to arrive in my group, I decided to investigate a little bit. I found that he patrols the north end of the island, as opposed to statically spawning at one of the map's pinpoints above. If you drew a line evenly bisecting the island from east-west, he patrols from that mid-point going north, around the northern half of the island's shore, back and forth, east west or vise versa. He starts down deep under water at either end, and slowly rises while patroling, coming closest to the surface pretty near halfway through his patrol, around 29, 4,-ish for those with waypoints. Since he moves so fast, I actually found it helpful to grab him when he was near the surface at that point, since trying to catch him under water is difficult since we move so slowly there.

The giant octopi, the Ancient Leviathans, actually swim pretty fast as well and sometimes cruise nearly right through G'nathus so kinda watch out for them, they only have a little over 1 million hp but it's just an extra hassle you don't need to deal with.

Also, it seems obvious, but don't have anyone standing on the shore while fighting him - if they momentarily draw aggro and he targets them, he will evade and reset which kinda sucks.

For an idea how hard he hits if someone is thinking about trying to solo kite him or chain fear him or whatever, I sent my bear pet with 282k hp in for the hell of it (on my hunter, of course) and he one shot him. Sooooo...don't let him hit you.

Finally, on a non-factual and less helpful note, has anyone else noticed that his front end, his head basically, looks a LOT like a gryphon or bird head? Complete with beak and nostril holes? Kind of amusing. Maybe it's just me. :D

Kommentar von Ydarissep

Reminds me of Hydrus from Shadow of the Colossus.

Kommentar von 208225

Solo'd as a alt spec Balance Druid (my main spec is Resto Druid and i did this in Resto gear, iLvL 509).

Some things to note: He can be rooted and Slept (he might even be able to be typhooned, didnt test that). Also, spec into Faerie Swarm and keep reapplying that to keep him slowed.

Strat:

Get him when he is at the western part of his path. You might consider getting used to the area south of here in the water and see where the sharks and leviathans are, in order to avoid them.

Open with Sleep, root, apply FF and then pull with starsurge and wrath a few times, but be at max spell range on pull. Back peddle in the water while keeping him at range and spamming MF/SF over and over and Starsurge on proc. Keep back peddling the whole time. he doesn't leash.

Keep Rejuv on you. if your health gets too low for some reason (he should never be able to melee hit you and will only damange you with his lightening attack) or your mana gets too low, just root him, wait for MF/SF to expire and then sleep him. regen up. FF him, root him, nuke him a few times, and then back peddle MF/SF. Rinse repeat.

took me about 30 min.

Kommentar von Ethlin

Possible to solo on a rogue but very long and hard.

Essential Talents: Deadly Throw, Shuriken Toss

Other Talents: I picked up leeching poison for it (Crippling gets applied by something, forget the ability/talent), but cheat death might be better if a mistake happens, up to you.

Items: Something for water breathing (I used Noggenfogger)

Never enter melee range and keep him slowed at all times via deadly throw. Try to use deadly throw when he starts casting his lightning attack as it should interrupt it, although if the slow is nearly out then prioritize that.

Use cloak if a lightning attack gets by, or recuperate
if you have taken a hit or two.

Be ready for a 1+ hour fight.

Kommentar von Cinnamohn

If you're interested in soloing this as a Hunter, I made a short guide that explains everything you need to know. You can find it here.

Kommentar von Henrikb

Soloed him for the pet as a survival hunter simply kiting at max range.

Talents:
,

Glyphs:
Ausgebrannte Glyphe and Ausgebrannte Glyphe

Though I did have 497 ilvl equipped, and made somewhat quick work of him. 5-10min fight.

He also dropped the pet! :)

Kommentar von Mathaylla

Relatively straightforward on a destro warlock. I found that I made most mistakes on the initial pull - if he's far enough under water, and I aggro from the surface, he can swim up to surface much faster than I can backpedal (backpaddle?). Also, I stopped trying to pull him while being in front of him - he swims too fast. So most of my deaths on this guy were on the initial pull. Most screw-ups during the actual fight involved him resetting for various reasons, not me dying. Killed him 3 times so far (one pet for me, 2 for sale).

- Kil'jaeden's Cunning is mandatory, you must be able to cast while moving

- Unending Breath is helpful for swim speed boost and underwater breathing, but I usually kite him while staying on surface of the water, so most of the time it doesn't come into play

- I found that I absolutely cannot eyeball range in water - so I got the RangeDisplay add-on, to know whether he's getting too close or too far (without it the fight proved to be impossible for me). Basically he ends up staying in 10-15 range most of the time, occassionally moving out to 15-20 range. If he is in 8-10 range, I stop casting to let the movement debuff from Kil'Jaeden's Cunning to fall off, so that I can move out of range. If I see 5-8 range flash on the screen, I hit Fear (I don't have it glyphed, but I just immediately hit an instant spell, like Conflagrate to break the fear and keep him from moving out of range and resetting).

- I do not interrupt his Lightning Breath (I experimented with pulling Observer out for this fight specifically for the interrupt) - but when G'nathus casts his attack, he pauses his movement; without this cast time, I found that I had trouble keeping out of his melee range. I found it easier to just heal through the damage.

- I use Overgrown Lilypad for Rejuvenation heals - it's EXTREMELY helpful, as it frees up my Burning Embers for Chaos Bolts (not only my highest-damage attack but also the biggest boost to absorption through Soul Leech). I have killed him once without using Overgrown Lilypad (it was on CD), and while definitely possible, the fight took at least twice as long. (If you don't feel like camping Sele'na for it, consider bringing a friendly druid :)

- During one fight I took a wrong turn (literally) while swimming backward and moved too far from the island where I got the Fatigue bar on my screen. G'nathus reset almost immediately. Lesson learned.

Kommentar von Solacia

Can be feared. One of the big things you should have learned from levelling a lock is that if you can fear it you can kill it. So if you suck at kiting like me you can just keep him off you with fear and nuke him down, takes about 15 minutes.

2 things to note -
1. if you fear him into the deep ocean you'll likely reset him. I like to kill him on the far south east part of his path, and get him stuck in the bay made with that mogu beach, so he has nowhere to go.

2. the travel time of incinerate (and chaos bolt) down there is significant, and if you try to fear right after an incinerate you'll likely break it immediately from the incinerate you casted first. double cast fear every time to make sure that doesn't happen

You almost might want to hit cap, if you screw up the chain and take a hit from the boss (well over 300k) it's fine, but not if you miss the next fear and get hit again

good luck pet hunters!

Kommentar von GhostlyHarmony

Just killed him three times in a row, and all three times the pet dropped. :]
It was me, a ilvl 484 destro lock doing the kiting, a ilvl 474 BM hunter for DPS and a ilvl 449 holy pally .
The fight was very simple, just gotta make sure you don't get hit. Probably going to keep killing him for for more pets to throw on the AH! :D

Good luck to those wanting him, he's so cute!

Kommentar von 1126963

Soloable as Demonology lock as well. Used Wrathguard (made sure Threatening Presence wasn't on), and just kept up Corruption, Doom, & CoE while swimming ahead and using Harvest Life. (I didn't swim backwards, HL will keep channeling if you swim forward, though I did have to face him to re-channel). The slow from Hand of Gul'dan / Chaos Wave compensated for my own slow from Kil'jaeden's Cunning, and if he started gaining on me, I just stunned him with Axe Toss and used Demonic Leap. Took a good 1/2 lap(10 mins.) around the island with a 524 ilvl.

Kommentar von Vaeevictiss

after a number unsuccessful attempts (mainly evade resets and a couple getting too close when turning him around) i remember i had Wasserjuwel from the rare in the Vale. when i combined this with my glyphed Underwater Breathing i was able to outswim him...backwards...even with the Kiljadens Cunning speed debuff. This made him a cakewalk and killed him in about 6 minutes.

If i wanted i could make some good money off him. Even once an hour with a 100% drop rate on the pet, they are selling for 4500-9k on my server.

Kommentar von Fallsmyer

Just solo'd G'nathus on my 522 Demo Lock, was extremely easy. Glyphed Unending Breath and Hand of Gul'dan are more than enough to allow you to kite around the island even with the Kil'Jaeden's Cunning debuff.

Soul Leech gives you a nice shield per Lightning Breath and Health Stones heal you whenever you get low or have to life tap.

Keep your Wrathguard's Threatening Presence off and he won't take aggro or die.

Other than that just make sure you have your dots up and go about your normal rotation. If you accidentally pull the little sharks, use them for extra damage. They don't hit very hard so just dot them with Corruption and Doom and leave them be. Glyph of Siphon Life + Corruption will heal any of the damage they might do and the extra Doom means extra Imps.

It's a really easy fight, just never stop backpedaling {back swimming} and take your time. There is no enrage, no rush.

Kommentar von 1129830

Soloed this as a demonology warlock very easily, just a simple kite fight now. I am guessing the poor beast has had his speed nerfed because I was able to outspeed him with Kiljaeden's Cunning. As long as you have some form of self heal this guy is easy to solo, but it took me about 15 minutes in 522 gear.

Kommentar von pichiru

July 1st, Bronzebeard US I attempted him on my hunter. BM, iLvl 496.

He one-shotted my pet, and then me.

Yup.

Kommentar von Gnarsty

100% soloable as a destro warlock with the slow from Immolate + Conflagrate alone while starting the fight from the farthest distance away and swimming backwards. The adds swim mostly out of range and the fight took roughly ten min since embers were mostly dedicated to Ember Tap.

Kommentar von 1101683

3 manned this as blood dk, frost mage and resto druid, really simple tactics was just kill him, I being the tank died once and was ressed at the last minute, at the end of the fight the healer had barely any many left and we managed to kill him

Kommentar von Problimatic

I just solo'd him on my 540 guardian druid. It was pretty much just about rotating cooldowns to stay alive and using frenzied regen for heals. My dps was 129,852 and my hps was 33,281. I didn't do any fancy kiting or anything, just straight up fought him. I did accidentally pull a leviathan that was passing by though that just got cleaved down in the process of killing G'nathus. I was using agi flask, no food buff. Also I did prepot, and use a second pot when neccessary.

Kommentar von Ponkana

Soloed as a Brewmaster Monk (528 ilvl), No tier tank gear. Using the DPS legendary meta gem as well.

Just rotate your cooldowns as much as possible. It is necessary to get Schaden dämpfen as a talent to reduce his melee hits by half for 3 hits.

Chiwelle would be the best healing tier 2 talent for this, and have a macro to have Chi Wave heal yourself first. (/cast Chi Wave) so you get healed 4 times and damage 3 times.

Xuen den Weißen Tiger beschwören can help for a bit, he does get killed quick but the 5-10 seconds breathing room is nice, as well as the extra damage that he does. Fußfeger will also stun G'nathus so take that.

You might want to drag G'nathus below and use Wasserjuwel to breathe underwater, just because your Gift of the Ox procs on the sea floor.

Just in case you need to catch up on your health, you can use Paralyse to incapacitate him for 40 secs, and you can do this as often as you like. Just make sure your Chi wave is finished before you do or else it will break it. It would be optimal to wait to have your Energy to go back up to 100 before you break the cc.

One more thing you can do is drop your Transzendenz spirit and leave 3 Heilende Sphären on them (I suggest doing this before you pull and when the boss is Paralyzed). If you need emergency healing you can just use Transzendenz: Transfer and get heals from the spheres x3 (1 minute duration if unglyphed). The amount of healing you get from the Healing Sphere is based on your current vengeance, not when you put it down.

Good luck! With my gear I kill G'nathus within 9minutes.

Kommentar von Pzypro

I'm assuming that a well geared Blood Dk cannot solo facetank this yet. What a shame :( Time to pull out those chillblains! Or wait until 5.4 :P

Kommentar von Lilyi

Soloable as a Level 90 Shadow Priest
Can be solo'd by any ilvl spriest at 90. It took me 13 minutes with ilvl 543 gear (and I got better/faster at it toward the end). Lower ilvl would obviously take longer, but the kite path can be sustained indefinitely provided you don't make too many mistakes.

Talents and Glyphs
You must have Angelic Feather. Everything else is optional and up to your preference. I used From Darkness Comes Light (Mindbender good too), Divine Insight, Glyph of Inner Sanctum, Glyph of Mind Blast, and Glyph of Dark Binding. The rest don't matter.

Pulling
For the pull, levitate on the surface of the water near G'nathus and drop 1-2 feathers behind you. I kept Inner Will on the entire time, rather than Inner Fire (more movespeed between feathers, and sustainable SW:P spam to fish for mind blast procs). Drop a feather directly on yourself, then pull from max range and immediately start running away, toward your pre-dropped feathers. G'nathus' melee attack ignores the Z-axis, so you need to make sure you have enough X/Y-axis distance from him until he gets to the surface.

You'll want to kite in a circular path away from anything you might aggro. I pulled him south from his spawn point and used the open water in between Shan'ze Dao and Sra'vess. You'll have to go around some sharks and the occasional squid leviathan patrol, but it's not too hard to avoid them. Aggroing adds is manageable and they should leash, but extra hits breaking levitate or getting dazed can kill you easily.

Kiting and Killing
Once he's at the surface, your priority is:
1. Refresh levitate anytime it falls. Ideally you want to recast it right as G'nathus completes his lightning cast; you can actually avoid falling in the water and getting your movespeed reduced if you time it right (it also seems to sometimes fall off randomly without taking dmg, so be prepared to refresh if it does)
2. Cast any instant spell on G'nathus if you haven't hit him in the last 2-3 global cooldowns to prevent him from leashing
3. Angelic feather if you aren't near max range
4. DPlague (any # of orbs) if you are injured
5. Renew, shield, or prayer of mending if you are injured below ~60% and have hit the boss in the last 2-3 globals
5. Shadowfiend
6. Instant cast procs (mind blast/mind spike)
7. Hard casts (mind blast/VT) if you're near max range
8. SW:P spam

If you use the mind blast glyph, make sure you run to max range and stop to nuke until the root expires. You're likely to leash him before he gets back in casting range if you just continue running. You can also use silence to prevent lightning breath casts periodically.

Making mistakes
If you mess up, you can use psychic horror to generate some distance if you have orbs. If he gets in melee range, immediately psychic scream and stop nuking until you get levitate back up and get some distance. Don't bother with psyfiend; it spawns on the sea floor out of range to fear, and you don't need it anyway. Also avoid using dispersion, since he will just hit and kill you as soon as it expires, and you can't re-levitate to get away during it.

Soloed as a warlock with only 482 ilvl in PvP gear!

Just to proove that it was possible, I was beeing very carefull and avaraged about 15-16k dps at 90 D: It took me 3 laps around the island backpaddeling.

Download RangeDisplay or whatever the addon is called because it is a must have for this! You keep him away with a glyphed curse of exhaustion then all I did was to kite him with drain life and and occasional malefic grasp while of course keeping my dots up.

solod as a blood dk 532 ilv with just 135% mastery

took about 5-6 min

Kommentar von Fushae

Hunter Guide - You will have to respec to Marksman to do this.

just solo'd this guy as a MM hunter, and this is how.

Rotation was :

1-Serpent Sting
2-Steady Shot
3-Macro (/castsequence Arcane Shot, Concussive Shot)
4-Macro (#showtooltip Dire Beast
/cast Dire Beast
/cast Arcane Torrent
/cast Rapid Fire)
5-Macro (/castsequence Glaive Toss, Tranquilizing Shot)
6-Macro (#showtooltip Chimera Shot
/cast Chimera Shot
/cast Kill Shot)
7-Scatter Shot
8-Murder of Crows
9-Stampede
10-Disengage
11-Mend Pet
12-Readiness

Talents: CTHC, Silencing Shot, Spirit Bond, Dire Beast, A Murder of Crows, Glaive Toss

Glyphs: Chimera Shot, Liberation, Mending, - minors doesnt matter

Method: I kited the eel by swimming backwards on the south side of the island where there are no mobs, and I stayed on the outside edge of the water that bordered with FATIGUE waters.

addon RangeDisplay was a must.

lead off with Serpent Sting, then cycled 3,4,5,6 constantly, hit steady shot to get some focus, used disengage, AMOC, Stampede every time it was up.

I had a pet on passive, and that never left my side. I had to keep healing the pet or it would have died. Having the pet was a must because of the health regen and healing bonus I got from having it alive.

Total fight took about 7-8 minutes I was able to stay over 300k health the entire time.

Scatter Shot was for emergency, never used it, Readiness was never used.

G'nathus stayed permanently snared the entire time due to the #3 macro.

** Try to time your disengages with his Lightning Breath, you avoid the damage if you get outside his 40 yard range and enjoy the heals.

My main spec is BM, I spec'd MM just for this NPC.

Enjoy! I hope this helps someone else get their Spawn of G'nathus(##RESPBREAK##)2060##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von Stabhorn

G'nathus may be a loa left by the Zandalari to guard the waters around the Isle of Thunder.

Kommentar von ED209

His name is possibly related to the Greek word gnathos, which means 'jaw', especially since G'nathus possesses such a large one himself. Either that, or he's related to Jay Leno.

Kommentar von noodles111

Though many hunters spec to marksman for this, BM is just as valid :)

You are going to want to glyph Animal bond, Disengage and Liberation. You will most certainly need the minor glyph of revive pet. Talents are Crouching tiger, Intimidation (for when you need to cc this massive beasty), Exhilaration, your choice on tier 4, Blink strikes works very well on tier 5 purely because it allows your pet to keep up and last but not least Glaive toss just as a snare.

It is basically a simple kite you just have to ensure you stay over 30 yards away. Strafing can be rather awkward around the isle in the water but it works a lot better than backpeddling. You want to keep concussive shot up at all times, save intimidations for those moments it gets too close/or you need a heal. Do not worry to much about your rotation, as long as you keep serpent sting on it ,so it doesn't reset if you get slightly out of range, you are golden.

You should be using a spirit beast purely for the spirit mend, have this macroed e.g.
#showtooltip Spirit Mend
/cast Spirit Mend
these heals alone should keep you alive but you always have exhilaration as a back up, alongside your disengage heal. Should you be too low at any point deterrence works wonders, also to be used if your pet dies (reviving won't be cast on the move meaning G'nathus will get in range to do his zappy thing).

I've yet to try SV for this fight but I'm sure if you stay at max range and use heals wisely it can be done. Good luck all soloing this, hope this has been a help :)

Kommentar von Arekkusul

Since 5.4 he got changed. He won't melee anymore, but keeps casting constant lightning stuff. And you can't interrupt it anymore.

Kommentar von Skwiff

For DK's looking to solo G'nathus here is the method I used.

Spec: Frost
Spells: to slow G'nathus down. Eisketten in case of hit recovery. Eisige Pfade
The Setup: Pull G'nathus with a ranged spell and immediately use Eisketten. Step back until you are some ways out of range. Keep chains up and move back. Repeat until G'nathus is out of the water and above the surface. His red hitbox should be on the surface. This will be the path you are going to run around.

The kill: Follow the edge of his circular red hitbox and DPS as per normal. Keep moving on the circle and never stop. Stopping will cause you to get hit for 300k damage and water walking will dispel. After 10 or so lightning breaths G'nathus will cast Bogennova. Move a few feet away from the red hitbox. Once cast move back to the edge.
Follow a simple DPS rotation as you need to keep an eye out for Arc Nova. I found that one complete run of the hitbox was when Arc Nova would proc.

Recovery: Should u take hit from Blitzschlagatem or Bogennova it is imperative you cast Eisige Pfade and get moving again. Use the time to regain heath from Todessog or Lichritter. Two hits is enough to kill most DPS in ToT gear. Resume DPS once you have full health. If you happen to pick up an add, use Eisketten on G'nathus and kill the add. Keep in mind your distance.

Die enough times like I did and you will eventually have him down without getting hit even once.

Happy pet hunting!

Incredibly easy as a hunter to solo. To make the fight even easier.. get this
Cursed Swabby Helmet

Kommentar von killamonjaro90

Took me 18 mins as a rogue kiting it and using my shurikun toss and killing spree (after he used nova then stunned and run off), i didn't think to spec into deadly throw until i was already 75% and didnt want to start over. Was fun and totally worth the pet !

Kommentar von 1138293

I can confirm that using Cursed Swabby Helmet works like a charm as a caster. As an elemental shaman, I could easily keep kiting G'nathus and spamming my Lightning bolt + instant casts whilst circling around him to avoid his Lightning Breath, and using his cast time to stand still and hardcast my lava burst.

Anyone who wants this pet as a caster and can cast whilst moving, try this out, it works!

Kommentar von ElicaQT

Killed it just now, as disc and lock. We thought we had to kite it but the lock pet could simply tank it standing still and we stood a bit away so we didnt get hit by the nova (that's what hurts the most what we experienced, about 200k on cloth). No issues no problems

Kommentar von Gregolas

Tanked and spanked as a 529 ilvl Hunter (Spirit beast pet / animal bond glyph / spirit bond talent). Originally got the Cursed Hozen Swabby helmet so I could breath underwater and kite faster. I was quite surprised when I literally stood there at range and dpsed him down above water in 7.5 minutes (Time remaining on my hozen helm at kill), no kiting necessary. Pet took MINIMAL damage, and it was quickly healed up with spirit bond, no need for mend pet! I notice here and there his physical damage was nerfed, and boy it sure seems that way when both of his attacks took no more than 3% hp off my pet. Just make sure you stand at max range otherwise his attacks will hit you hard. Good luck on this easily obtained pet! (for hunters :P)

Kommentar von aflyhorse

Pet-tanked it with another hunter today.
It can be taunted and don't hit hard on pets. (its breath and lightening count as AoE and pets have a 90% reduction)
Just stand and shoot, with spirit bond talent you don't even need to mend your pet. Seems solo it as a hunter or lock is a piece of cake.

Kommentar von Gwythaint

Just pet-tanked him with a lvl493 affl lock with a regular voidwalker. Nothing special, just kept healing my pet and burning him down. Don't know why I thought he was a rare, so if you're looking for the new rare silver minimap icon to show..... it doesn't lol.

Kommentar von Drjeebus117

This guy is a joke now, for me on my hunter at least. Just use spirit bond and have pet tank, dont even need to mend pet so stay at max range so you dont get hit with his blast, let pet tank and you'll get him. took me about 15+min to kill him this way with 518iL PvP gear i imagine PvE gear would be faster. aggroed a shark but just kept it ice trapped no harm. i imagine this routine would hold true for any class with a pet.

Additional note: at the start my pet kept despawning from the arc blast for some reason, not an issue at all i just disengage and resummon pet no harm done. when i moved farther out into the water this stopped.

He DOES drop himself as a pet confirmed.

Happy Hunting

Kommentar von 1203743

just solo'ed him on my level 90 warlock with a 559 item level tank pet out simple pet takes zero damage from aoe effects just need to be careful that you dont pull aggro when pet gets knocked back

EDIT: dont forget unending breath if you need to be under

Kommentar von Lobeik

This boss is solo-able with ease in 5.4 as a hunter, growl on, Mend pet. Solved.
Best to stay out of the aoe range but within mend pet range with mend pet appearing to have a larger range.

Kommentar von 1199549

Solo'd as Disc priest. Kept shield and renew up, and just atonement healed. Occasionally had to use Inner focus and G.Heal, but maybe only twice when divine Aegis wasn't proc'ing much.

Kommentar von Raanis

Just wanted to hop on here and say it's absolutely possible to solo this guy, and slows aren't necessary if you've got water walking. Just did it as a Ret pally (patch 5.4, ilevel 520) using water walking potions. Plural, because a curious reef shark decided to join in on the fun and broke my first one, although it took me long enough to kill him that I'd have needed to use another anyway.

Took me just under 13 minutes using Seal of Truth, Glyph of Harsh Words, Avenging Wrath with Sanctified Wrath and Execution Sentence. GoAK also helps since the pet is immune to damage and will get right up in his face to melee. I also used the Overgrown Lilypad to give myself Wrath, but that ended up accounting for less than 9% of my total damage since I had to keep moving.

The trick is just to keep turning him because his lightning breath has a very narrow cone (but 40-ish yard range). However, you can't just walk up and melee him or he'll start casting his nova, which hits for ~350k and will knock you back (and also remove water walking). Fortunately, if he does cast the nova you can usually just run the opposite direction and get out of range before it goes off. The nova effectively prevents you from meleeing him, though, since you wouldn't be able to get in more than one or two hits before you'd either get hit by the nova or have to run out again.

Watching out for nearby critters helps, obviously; The ancient leviathan gave me a good scare when it snuck up on me the first time, but I managed to avoid pulling anything else beyond that shark. As long as you stick close to the cliffs you should be able to avoid aggroing anything else, but even doing full circles around G'nathus I avoided pulling anything else.

Kommentar von Ballybog

As an elemental shaman, I made sure I remained close enough to where it's 30 yd Lightning Breath wouldn't be used, but far enough away to where his other Lightning Breath (frontal cone) and Arc Nova wouldn't reach me. I began with water walking on, and immediately after hitting him with a ranged spell, I quickly jumped on land and then back on to the water, to get him "hovering" above the water's surface. From there on out, it was simply a matter of continuous circling/strafing. I got hit twice, and for both times, I quickly dropped my stone bulwark totem, healing tide totem and spammed water walking just as fast as I could to get back on the surface and to keep moving. I also tried keeping him occupied with the occasional fire and earth elemental.

Kommentar von Shahaf

I don't know if it was just me but his breath cone seems extremely small. I found that I was able to just run around him and DPS while running out of range during Arc cast. Breath never hit me and I never needed to refresh my Path of Frost.
1st Kill I did as blood because I thought I needed the occasional dmg mitigation but the 2nd kill took me no time at all as Unholy with the strat above.
I'd think it will work for any class\spec.
Hope this works for you.

Kommentar von olania

565 ilvl shadow priest. It took me nearly the full 15 minute duration of the Cursed Swabby Helmet to kill him, because at about 45% he evade bugged and reset. The second time around I kited him counter clockwise around the island until I got to the little island at the southwest corner of Shan'ze Dao, then kited him clockwise around it. I just kept my DOTs up, hit Mind Blast on cooldown, hit Devouring Plague at 3 orbs, and only used Mind Flay when he stopped to lightning breath when he got close to me.

That little island is a good kiting spot, as there aren't that many other elites around, unlike the north, west, and east coasts of the island.

Kommentar von 1133080

For anyone like me that can't seem to deal great damage or kite/tank well; Solo'd as a BM hunter. and the only difficulty I had was staying focused enough to take down his massive amount of health.

Pulled from the little cape on the northeastern horn of the island and jumped into the water far enough out that his big deadly AoE attack couldn't reach me while pet (cunning spirit beast) tanked against the "wall" that was the ground that I pulled from. For some reason, AoE attacks don't seem to effect hunter pets the same way they effect players, so I hardly even had to use mend pet to keep pet alive. From there it was literally just hammering on a punching bag until it keeled over and spat out a battle pet.

Stayed close enough to shore that curious sharks and pissed-off looking leviathans didn't pull. Hope this helps anyone that feels intimidated.

Kommentar von 899501

Managed to solo him as a 568 Assassination rogue using the Deadly throw and Shuriken toss ability. If you have elixir of water walking, Aqua Jewel, or Cursed Swabby Helmet you can pull it off too!

Kommentar von 1206506

totally soloable as a prot paladin got it down to 2mil health and it bugged up the wall and reseted...
so when you solo this keep it away from the wall and swim away from arc nova

Kommentar von caffeinequeen

Solo'ed as a 567 assassination rogue easily without using a kite strategy. Roll feint (talented) for lightning breath should you find yourself unable to to dodge it ( i personally had no issues moving around the ability), and save cloak of shadows for arc nova. Keep recup running to keep your health steady. Stuns are also amazing here. Should you find cloak of shadows on cooldown, you can kidney punch stun it, as well as utilize blind, and the stun effect from paralyzing poison to give yourself some more time for cds, should your life be getting low.

My final piece of advise is to stay close to the boss. His lightning breath is a cone, so if you're right on top of him, you only need to move a smidge to get out of its range. Consider this guy training for Huolon, or vice versa depending :D

Good luck, and happy hunting!

Kommentar von joebowen

Easy to solo on 566 Boomy. Just kept swimming sideways in circles around him, to avoid breath. Worked through usual rotation, waited for instant Starsurges, self healed and 3-4 minutes later I had him. Knew it was just over three and shy of four as my CDs were off again when I killed him.

Killed twice, pet dropped both times. Uploaded through wowhead looter so stats will be more accurate.

Kommentar von Shallowz

Just killed him on my warlock easily. Just use a voidwalker with the Grimoire of Supremacy and you can just stand there and kill it. The VoidWalker or as i call it "Blueberry" will barely take any damage at all! Just find a good spot with few adds and go nuts!

GL and Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von Spedunky22

So, i heard this mob was not able to be soloed... well... It is able to be soloed, and today I'm going to tell you how :D
Setting Up:
- Glyph's Needed:
- Glyph of Mending
- Glyph of Misdirection
- Glyph of Animal Bond
- Pet Needed:
- A Tenacity Pet.
- I use a Direhorn, other recommended pets would be a Turtle, and/or a Bettle.
-Macro:
/cast Misdirection
/cast Mend Pet

Once you have gathered all of these things head over to these cords:
Townlong Steppes: 35,9
One final thing is needed for this, and thats one hell of a kickass macro. Copy and paste this macro into your game and set it on your bars

Now that we having everything and you have arrived at the location stand on the shore line and wait for G'nathus to swim around. If he is up i have calculated that after the ancient Leviathan swims around twice, G'nathus usually will have swam around the isle once

Once G'nathus has arrived cast the macro and then a spell to give your aggro to your pet without having to target him, this also cast mend pet on your pet keeping him healed.

Now, here comes the strategy, you have to constantly use the misdirection macro i gave you so you can...
1. Keep your pet healed, and
2. Keep aggro on your pet.
If your marksmanship i recommend using the macro before casting Chimera Shot, When Aimed Shot Procs, and if your using glaive toss or power-shoot, use it before those too. ( Barrage works too but its not as powerful.) This is all you have to do. As long as you use the macro before your powerful shoot and or your Procs, you can take this guy down easily.

Hope this was helpful, Ive made quiet a bit of money off selling the pet. In case you did not already know, the pet has a 100% drop rate.

Have fun soloing this slithering electric eel!

Kommentar von Azrilar

I just recently beast lored this guy, and when it said something in the range of 10-20,000 damage I thought it was a joke. So I sent my pet on it, and it really did only do 10-15,000 damage. Took a very long time to deal the damage but was totally soloable for a hunter. Then I read about that it takes a group to defeat it, and all this "massive damage" it was said to do. Was it nerfed?

I was running a dps pet and Survival. Didn't have to kite or anything, just send pet, stand back, and leave auto shot on when I got bored.

Though, I did accidentally stand too close to the Arc Nova, which hit me for 350,000. Hits my pet for less than 20,000 though thankfully.

Kommentar von Hidyeon

Easy to solo as Balance Druid. I soloed it twice within 15 minutes.
First time with Taifun and second time with .
If you go with Typhoon keep strafe-swimming all the way and try to avoid the other swimming creatures on the way since they might daze you.

If you keep swimming the bosses breath isn't a problem. it only casts it when you are on melee range(ish) and if it gets too close just typhoon it back.
Only time I stopped swimming was when I popped Incarnation and Celestial Alignment and burst. Very important thing is though that you need to have Wache der Natur on if you stop, since the boss will reach you and start casting Lightning Breath.

As 574 ilvl boomy I took 237.6k and 297k hits from lightning Breath, which is about 30-40% of my health, but my Nature's Vigil, Rejuvenation and Ysera's Gift kept healing me when I were pushing some numbers.
I think the second time was easier kiting wise you could backpeddle in the water the whole time when Fairie Swarm was active on the boss. It goes so slow. You might even stop for few seconds and get few full casts in. Even when it started casting breath it didn't hit me if I started swimming yet again.

I also had Guardian spec incase the boomy wouldn't have worked out as planned, but I have no doubt that Guardian druid couldn't solo that.

I hope the info was helpful. good luck!

Kommentar von ChaosMoth

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what is going on here but I just easily solo'd him with my pet tanking as a 531 SV hunter. My pet never went below 90% health, I didn't use mend pet at all. I dismissed my pet for a second to see if he would hit me as softly as he did my pet and no, he hit me for about 150k each time. Luckily I got my pet back out before I died. Not sure why he hit my pet for so little.

Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else has seen this or for any hunters wanting to kill him.

Kommentar von DxrShiift

I just killed this as an Assassination Rogue, ilvl 551. Patch 5.4.8

I used the level 90 talent Shuriken Toss and kept up the buff Slice and Dice. It was a fairly simple battle, I circled the island swimming to the side but still able to attack him, letting my poisons do most of the work. Over the course of killing him I almost did a complete circle from where I started, it took me about 10 minutes. If you get too close he may use Lightning Breath which is easily avoidable if you keep moving. As long as you stay out of range of melee and have some patience, you should be able to take this beast down and collect your prized Spawn of G'nathus

I imagine any class with ranged abilities could take this monster down if they used water walking, since I was able to at regular swimming speed.

Kommentar von Namer18

His AI is awkward now. For mage he is incredibly easy.
1) Spec frost
2) Have elemental attack g'nathus
3) Stand behind g'nathus
4) When your elemental gets low on health frostbolt the elemental to heal it
5) Do this until g'nathus dies
*6) optional once your elemental has a lot of threat you can also start dpsing g'nathus just make sure to keep your pet healed and not to out aggro the elemental

Kommentar von Specula

As with most other bosses, world and dungeon he is easily soloable by a Demonology Warlock. Send your Felguard in, do almost nothing except health funnel and corruption. If he's a heavy hitter, use curse of exhaustion otherwise curse of elements. Takes hugely long timeframes to do, but your Felguard can do most of the damage and he takes it back like a boss. Heal him occasionally with a health funnel and then drain life the boss to gain lost life back. Boring and very slow, but also extremely effective at solo'ing "unsoloable" content.

Kommentar von cocomunky

Easily soloable by an Elemental Shaman. Like, ridiculously easy.

In 531 ilvl I solo'd him on my first try without knowing the fight.

1. Waterwalking
2. Earthbind Totem. If Earthbind is on CD, frost shock.
3. DPS while moving, never stop moving. Strafe and walking backwards are both fine, depending on how far you want to be.
4. Repeat until he's dead.

I used all of my damage cooldowns as often as they came up to get him down ASAP. Was only hit once by his breath, but he stops moving when he does it so I had time to throw water walking back up on myself, drop a healing tide, and get away. Never had to use defensive CDs. Overall took me about 6 minutes.

Kommentar von Darkpheonixx87

Just soloed him two times over. As a druid, simply make sure you keep your defensives on CD and frenzied regeneration handy. His nova arc is interuptable (which is the most painful part of the entire fight). The swashbuckler (spelling?) helm came in handy the first time. the second time it was on CD, so swapping between bear and swim form (would suggest doing it when your at high HP to compensate for the incoming damage when coming back into bear form) was a bit tricky, trying to surface, he only reset on me. that may not be always true, but that is what he did to me, unfortunately. Wish you all luck and happy hunting, hopefully this post helped. :D

Kommentar von 1024018

G'nathus has 2 abilities... Blitzschlagatem cone attack which hits for around 350k (180k on 570 tank) but is completely avoidable by sidestepping, and every 20 seconds or so he uses an Bogennova which hits for 350k (150k on tank) and knockback. Not sure if the latter is avoidable at all.

In other words, he is basically an underwater version of Nalak 's arc nova and Huolon 's breath. If you can heal/cooldown through the arc novas you'll have no issue killing him solo.

Ausgeburt von G'nathus has high droprate. Not BoP.

Kommentar von Whoopee

I just soloed this a 575ilvl hunter and the only damage I taken was been underwater and nearly drowned lol and my pet's health didn't move lol all you need is a pet oh some sort, but move the pet to him and not next to you.

Welsh Gaming

Kommentar von DarlingDoolittle

Soloed as a 550 ilvl BM hunt in PvP gear (With no legendary cloak). It was easy enough; took about 6.5 minutes.

My pet kept unsummoning because he got too far away from me (The pet will attack from underneath the boss, thus him being at quite a distance and sometimes out of range of Mend Pet), but after the second time it happened, I just moved a little closer and it didn't happen anymore. Just make sure to be ready to call your pet. DO NOT FEIGN BEFORE YOU RESUMMON YOUR PET. The boss will reset if you do that.

G'nathus starts to summon some adds, which are level 91 elites called "Spawns of G'nathus". They are easy enough to avoid. If you do happen to aggro one, just put it in an ice trap.

G'nathus casts a "Nova" spell, which will instantly knock you down about 250k HP to around half health. Be careful. You can avoid it if you keep your head above the water; there is no need to be underwater during this fight. That's your pet's job.

Other than that, it's a walk through the park. It's simply a DPS-race to knock him down, but his lightning breath doesn't hit your pet very hard. However, it will hit you pretty hard, so make sure your pet stays aggroed. Happy pet hunting :)

Kommentar von Nomersi

just Cursed Swabby Helmet and range dps.. and dont forget to loot pet :p

Kommentar von mgdimarc

Just soloed this on my combat rogue. The trick is having Cursed Swabby Helmet from Timeless Isle.

This item will allow you too swim fast enough to avoid every frontal cone. As a rogue, use cloak to avoid being hit by every other Arc Nova. On the others simply use feint and take the hit. Do your best to shadowstep him the instant after you get hit by arc nova to both keep up damage and also avoid being frontal coned after.

Have leeching poison and use shiv and recuperate if you get low. KS also will prevent you from being knocked back by Arc Nova but you will still take damage. With the helmet it makes this soloable at perhaps any ilvl, but more damage obviously makes it go faster.

Kommentar von Keomo

For druids that want to solo him in 5.4.8, you can no longer sleep/starfire him to death as he is now immune to sleep effects.

Any sort of waterwalking buff makes this fight really easy. Just keep running, dotting and slowing/knockback if you think he's too close. (Although it seems he uses Lightning Breath when he gets in range of you, but if you keep running, it doesn't hit you).

Hope this helps.

Just solo'd him with my Prot Pally (ilvl 525). I am not ashamed to say that I am not skilled enough to circle him while fighting to avoid the breath attack. So I just went toe to toe (toe to fin?) with him and it took awhile but I downed him. Just used stun and blinding light whenever they were off cd to negate nova, kept my 40% magical dmg reduction up as much as possible and spammed EF to keep myself alive. Couldn't find anyone to help so this was my solution =).

As melee just engage him and dodge his lightning breath (move to the side of him) and arc nova (move away from him).

Kommentar von Thalaera

I call BS on the one's who solo'd. 520 paladin, post-squish, he "hits" me three times, dead. I have no way to avoid that. It's just "hit, hit, hit, dead"

Do tell how you actually used a healer or additional DPS to kill him.

Update: I watched a DK solo him, using only one ability, running in a circle and constantly refreshing Path of Frost.

I tried to kill on my 540+ hunter, with a Warforged Bow and my pet despawned three times. Can't fight from shore, get evades.

I was also skeptical of soloing. I'm a 557 boomkin and a generally mediocre player. I flasked and put on the Cursed Swabby Helmet and prepared myself for a swift death. I began my usual pathetic method of running in a circle and spamming moonfire/sunfire. I kept starfall up as constantly as I could. I took one nice hit in the beginning, and it was gravy the rest of the way. The lightning attack is a cone, so as you hold down your E/sidestep button he misses you every time. Only seems to use arc nova when you're within his red circle (hit box? see? i'm that bad a player. i don't know what that thing is called)--so just keep a wide-ish circle. It's easy to swim away from even if you get close--as long as you're swimming quick. Took me about five minutes. Because of arc nova melee classes might have a bit more trouble. Best of luck, all!

Destro Lock lvl 90 Voidlord takes no damage basically and as long as u r outof range of arc nova you wont take dmg either.
took me bit under 3min to solo ;o

6.0 She's stupidly easy to solo now. took me all of 90 seconds on a lvl100 blood death knight in average of 629 gear. Got my girlfriend a spawn and ran her through normal Siege of Niuzau Temple and a Zandalari Warbringer(also stupid easy now) then got a 2nd pet for myself in about 20 minutes. Really easy for lvl100s to farm now.

As of 6.1 the drop rate seems to have been nerfed big time. I just killed him 8 times and the pet never dropped.

Kommentar von Orbling

Was having problems soloing this with my rogue, as I suck, and it does a done of damage to melee. However, I found a very useful spot on the land that he swam close to and with a bit of fiddling, managed to range him with Shurikenwurf from the shore, iLvl was 635, so it hits for a fair bit, kept up just in case and Zerhäckseln for speed, but by about 10% in, I had got to a location he couldn't hit. The trick is to get him to aggro then get to that spot quick, but not let him rest, he needs to be trying to cast Blitzschlagatem constantly, if he evades, the health pool will reset and he'll sod off.

Location was 36.0, 8.9.

Like some have stated, it is easy to solo G'nathus at lvl100. Granted, I was around 650 in ilvl, but I was playing my shadow priest and as a squishy cloth bearer, I only had to circle around and time the casting a bit.
The cone is quite narrow, just like qushayri stated, and as long as you strife around, you should be able to get a cast in every time G'natus casts (mages for instance).

He just dropped an Immaculate Ring of the Fireflash. I'm not sure how to add this info into his loot :x

Kommentar von OrbitStorm

After my wife recommended Ausgeburt von G'nathus, this page was my first destination. Just wanted to confirm (since the most recent comment prior to today is 3 months old) that G'nathus is awfully easy to solo (particularly for a hunter) and the pet itself sells for reasonable gold, 1k-2k for just a level 1 on Burning Blade-US.

The pet itself is certainly one of the better aquatic pets for pet battlers to use to boot!

Kommentar von selkie47

97 BM hunter. Took a little bit of time but no trouble at all. Never had to heal my pet. Got zapped once when I got too close but with Spirit Bond, I healed right up. Pet dropped.

Kommentar von farble1670

I just need to know one thing after reading through all the comments here: can he be soloed, and by what classes and spec?

Kommentar von radiophone11

Not a rare so wont show up on your minimap, you can see his name if you fly just above the water.

Kommentar von unclevinny

There are a ton of these swimming around NW of Shan'ze Dao, they're easy to find and kill. The drop rate of the pet isn't 92% as shown here, it's more like 10% -- but you'll have one soon enough.
