The dragon is located at 27,78.
Thane is at 27, 73.
Just spam Flame Breath and you'll win easily.

In the latest beta build this quest is bugged. The dragon does not fly up and causes a disconnect everytime you try to ride the dragon.

Kommentar von sunsmoon

Make sure that you heal up before attempting this quest. Thane will sometimes attack you, aswell as use a Volley (which you can move out of) and will damage you. If you die you will not be able to retrieve your corpse.

Kommentar von rweagle

I failed a couple times. On my third attempt I stayed very close to Thane. I managed to get him down to about 10% health and then he killed my Flamebringer but when I dismounted I was on the ledge with Thane. I dotted him up and ran around the corner but he didn't follow me and my dots killed him. He managed to get one hit on me though, and he hits very hard. Anyway, I figured I'd leave that little tip in case any of you are having problems killing him too.

Kommentar von 18970

The possesion bar switches to the proto-drakes abilites once you've mounted up. Use the 2nd button whenever it is off the CD (7sec) and spam the two other abilities meanwhile. This will get you the victory.

Good luck

Kommentar von 90582

Don't worry about Wing Buffet, just spam button 1 and then 3 when it's up. Move out of the volley and you'll be fine.

Kommentar von Scotchbose

When beginning the fight, be sure you are hovering somewhere above the same ledge Thane is on rather than in the open air in front of him. That way, if he kills the dragon before you kill him, you will only fall a few feet to the ledge and you'll have a chance to finish him off. If you are not above the ledge and the dragon dies, you will free-fall to the ground. I died as a result of this fall on my first attempt.

Kommentar von 20447

Fun fact: The drake does not de-mount you when you control it, it just picks you up on your mount.
Added a screenshot.

I have fallen in love with this dragon. There is a way to receive it in the property? It looks as bmw

Kommentar von 243349

I've tried using the wing buffet, dont work, I've tried moving around, cant cast while moving, I've tried 8 different times. There are bodies littering the ground beneath him. Good luck I'd rather go grind leather for a whole lvl then try this damn quest.

Kommentar von 235651

This quest might be difficult, I only tried once and he had me to half way down before i hit him a second time due to lag.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO FIGHT HIM ON DRAGON:
Just blast him a few times, or none if you think you can handle him(im prot, did it without using the dragon at all)
Position your dragon so you will land on the balcony when you dismount after dragon dies, and fight him face on. Very simple.
Im sure if your 77 and can fly you dont need the dragon at all.

Kommentar von 74611

It seems that the best way to do this quest using the dragon is to get right up on the ledge with Thane. When I did it this way Thane never volleyed at all, so that helps a lot when it comes to not getting hit with it. As for attacking, I just spammed 1 and 3 when it was up and finished the fight pretty quickly. I attempted it twice before this without being on the ledge and the volley is incredibly hard to avoid and it seems that it is bugged so that if you go out of range Thane resets which is very obnoxious.

Kommentar von cedricm

I had such a hard time with this quest because most of the time there is a bug and even at the right distance I fired all I could but it didn't register with wow.

I had to kind of go 1m in front of the Thane to somehow start the fight and then take so much heat so fast that I would die.

If another player did not try on my 5th time so that we took him together, I think I would have to have tried many times again.

wow team please fix this

Kommentar von 253555

I just did this quest. No, its not that easy.

The trick I figured out is this: I would stay in one spot and spam 1 like 4 - 5 times. Then move to my left about 20 yards. He would then cast volley and miss me. Repeat. It worked like a charm. It took me about 4 tries to figure it out.

Kommentar von 249743

Druids,

You can ride this dragon in bear form! Armour and HP bonus hooray.

Kommentar von ArkwelUS

Just spam 1.

Tip: Start riding the dragon to Amberpine or wherever you have to go. He will eventually kick you off but the short speed boost is nice.

Kommentar von 246101

Just did this as a feral druid. I'm sure it's a bug, but you can mount the drake while shapeshifted. I died the first time, but I soloed him as a bear... riding a drake. I'm sure it'll get nerfed, but it's fun to ride shapeshifted. : )

Kommentar von Batleth

I noticed last night when I did this quest, that even if you don't tag the target first (i.e., there were two or three other players there attacking him at the same time I was), as long as you do damage to him, you'll get credit for the kill. So, if for some reason, you're having issues with this quest wait until someone else goes for the kill and then help them out. He goes down quick and you get credit for the quest. 8-)

Kommentar von 256605

ye welll when he does volley u cant move ;) so FAIL

Kommentar von Donut

A tip for those who don't want use his dragon to kill him.

If your a ranged, you can simply pillar-kite him on his own tower, because he don't seems to be willing to move away from his spot.
Simply stand at the corner of the tower, cast your spell then move behind it..
I did this as a mage without loosing a single hp.

Kommentar von 262608

Great tip, the dragon controls were bugged for me, but dismounting and attacking from around the corner resulted in an easy kill.

Kommentar von 206230

Position yourself just above him-hit him alternately with flame breath and molten fire-ensure you hit him with wing buffet whenever it is up-you should have no problem. If you see your or the dragon's health is too low, ride away to where the dragon is chained dismount, health back up and try again. I took me two attempts-the first time I was too far away to wing buffet.

Kommentar von hayleigh

no problems on my mage.. just use flame breath and molten fire.. wing buffet when it's up.. i got dismounted when he was at 4 percent and had no problem soloing the rest. :)

Kommentar von Roomy

I've discovered what is truly wrong with this quest. When he attacks your dragon, some of his attacks also hit you and not just the dragon pet. The real method to overcome this, however, is not to dodge in and out of the Arrow Volley, but to fight him face to face on his level in melee range. When you're close enough, he will no longer use the volley, and that is his strongest attack that also hits you by far.

Also, I have found from dozens of tries before killing him that the problem with the #2 Stun ability not going off is because of movement right when using the move. To be able to really use it correctly, once you're right in front of him, don't take any more movements. Stun him right away and use 3 whenever it's up and spamming 1 when 3 is not up. Use the stun right when it's cooldown is over and go right back to the 1 and 3 spamming. Your character should take some damage, but you should be able to take him down before you yourself dies. Ive never seen the dragon die before my character, but then again I did this quest with only just barely 10k hp and no armor, so if I can do it any class should be able to do it. And if none of that works, I guess you could try it with a second person. Good luck. I know how annoying this quest can be if you keep dying.

Heres a cool video about it i found ; http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JXJGC6VOzqY

Kommentar von 102479

This is the best way, keep the head of th Drake on/in the Enemy to make wingbuffed useable and just stun him while dealing dmg.

Kommentar von oso1826

Me as warlock i found easier to kill him myself than on the dragon wich i died twice

Kommentar von 284887

Agreed. - Attacking with the drake is hit or miss. I could barely get the abilities to work. After 2 tries, It was easier to land at the back of the shack, bring up my imp and set him loose. This allowed him to attack from within the building and not take any damage. Then, i would run around the right side (the left side can be treacherous due to the decking being broken) and dot him up with the insta-cast dots. Run back and repeat as necessary.

Kommentar von ecartman

OK just did this quest as a group. It worked weirdly, my attacks showed no damage on thane and I eventually died. While at the graveyard my partner killed Thane and we both got credit. Don't know why but Ill take it!

Cart

Kommentar von Novak

In case you don't read your quests, like me, and got massively confused for this quest...

The Flamebringer mentioned in the quest log is a dragon you have to ride. It's located right under the O in "Voldrune" on the map. The guy you have to kill is atop one of those buildings, just down the path like 2 seconds.

Watch out for the guy's Volley, because it can (will) kill you. Just move over to the side when you notice him casting it.

Kommentar von Genesia

not my dragon but my character keeps dying! -- If I don't die, my dragon does within 1-2 minutes, even if I avoid the rain. Hes taking hardly any damage, this is really annoying :S

Kommentar von 213263

A little tip for druids: If you notice you dont lose your shapeshift when you mount on him go bear for a little stam and armor bost it help in the fight.

Kommentar von 127805

I just attempted to do this quest, i think it might be bugged, I had him all the way down to about 2% then all of a sudden he's back up to about 75% health. I did die at the top of the tower, i'm not sure if bliz fixed it but they have made it so you can go inside the tower and rez

Kommentar von 161382

Annoying quest...I found that Flamebringer kept dying on about 1/2 health, so I decided to solo Thane without Flamebringer! Easy kill for a level 80 Warrior.

Kommentar von 150308

Wow it took me like 15 minutes to find Thane >.< so I just typed /target Thane and found him in seconds =D. He was an easy kill.

Kommentar von 48659

Another way to kill him, especially for ranged or casters, is to dismount the dragon on the roof of the tower, jump down to the platform to side of Thane, and then literally cast and strafe LoS, then repeat. Beat him as a 73 DK Frost build and kept spamming my spells.

Kommentar von 281419

On my DK, I got him to about 30% HP and then jumped off the mount and did the rest myself.

The best advice I can give to you is, If he starts attacking you personally, Fly back to were you got on the dragon, dismount him, heal yourself, then talk to the dragon and remount and try again. It may take a couple times but it prevents you from dying and having a huge repair bill :P

Kommentar von 311215

I found this impossible to do while on the dragon, using any of the above techniques. As a frost mage, however, there is a very easy way to do this. First, dismount on the roof, then jump down to the ledge out of his view. As mentioned above, he stays in place and won't chase you. Then sic your Water Elemental on him. The Elemental will run right up next to him and blast him, and he won't be able to damage it. Took me three Elementals to finish him off, with no danger to me.

Kommentar von spunge9000

Same here. I couldn't kill him with the dragon. So got off in the back of the tower. As a hunter I just sent my pet on him and shot him from distance. He did kill my pet. But I just ran to the back out of his sight, cause he doesn't follow you, healed up rezzed my pet and finished him off. So much easier then with the dragon.

Kommentar von 222832

Just a small note; Vold rune is danish for violence and rune. Runes are the letters the vikings used.

Kommentar von 15292

You really have to be a complete and total moron to not get this quest, and judging by the comments here WoW has started to cater to them

It is real simple. First come to Grizzly Hills at the right level, not freaking 72 or 71 like most you idiots

Then, you fly right in from of the Thane, spam wing buffet when its up, and 1 and 3 otherwise. You can even fly away and eject out in the woods for a fast trip back

Do all you first time post 60 players understand this now?

Kommentar von polhemoth

In agreement with those above, but here's a slightly different wording:

1. Fly your dragon into the same space as the thane but park directly above him.
You should still be able to target him.
2. Spam 2, 3, 1 in that order. 2 as soon as it's up, 3 as much as possible, and 1 whenever the other 2 are on CD.

I finished with 75% health on the dragon and 98% on me (I am a plate wearer, YMMV).
He never fired volley once.

EDIT: Horde version: here

Kommentar von densmore

the wing buffet doesn't seem to stun him anymore... is anyone else having this issue?

edit: i found that the wing buffet would only stun Teh Thane if i approached him from the left side of the tower. i remember the first two times i did this quest the buffet would send him back a bit and he'd end-up inside the tower... i'm guessing that blizzard "fixed" that clipping a bit.

ymmv

Kommentar von wetfun

Got real close, and when the dragon died I was dropped on the porch with Thane, and killed him. Ran off the back and fell into the water.

Kommentar von 338278

I followed the instructions to the tee....2 then spam 1 & 3. The flying dragon did die when Thane was about 6K, so I dropped in and kicked his butt. Special note though....I'm not lvl 77 yet so no flying mount...how did I get down? I mounted my horse and jumped into the river below on the back side with no damage taken.

Kommentar von 19604

I tried to absorb as much of this ~~lengthy Russian novel~~ strategy guide as I could, and I still had to run away twice and dismount with Thane at ~50%. On my third attempt, I saw some random DK swooping in and invited her before she tagged him. We just burned his silly ass down, no problem. We've been married for three months, she just told me she's expecting, and if all goes well, our first child will be born exactly one year after the release of WotLK! OK, I made that last part up- no doubt the DK is a fat single middle-aged guy like me irl, and we'll never meet again.

But seriously, worst-case scenario: pretend the quest reads The Thane of Voldrune {Group} and proceed accordingly.

Kommentar von 129236

Soloed as 73 Death Knight (18 blood / 46 unholy) in quest gear, just drop down on the back of the tower and melee him to death, you can drop out of los and heal up if needed. The dragon is imo only usable as transport

Kommentar von 343516

finished it easily when i approached him at the ledge.
he didn't volley me from this close and it was much easier.
i can confirm that the stun works perfectly on him.
i used 2-3-1 combination and spamming 1 all the time and it was pretty easy.

Kommentar von 79728

Thanks for all your comments! Lvl 75 prot warrior - took Thane down at close quarters the very first try - he never threw a volley at me - too close I guess. Easy kill!

Kommentar von 311740

It took me 3 attempts to kill Thane to be honest it got abit stressful after the 2nd go as i got his health down to about 10% and i had half of my health left then he hit me twice and my mount was dead. I did it in the end though i just spammed every button once it was off CD and it worked (: It seems like it's one of those quests where you have to keep trying until you succeed.

Kommentar von 322002

The first time I tried to do this, I failed but afterwards, I came and read here that it helps to be close to him. Being right up in his face, he didn't volley once and only attacked my drake. Be sure to be as close as possible in case your drake dies, since you can end up on the ledge and finish him off.

Rotation: Buffet as soon as it's up and, 3rd ability when it is up, and 1st ability in the meantime.

Kommentar von 368788

I tried a couple times (at 79) and he'd kill the dragon and reset each time... finally took him down by going to melee... dragon had like 5% health left at the end.

Kommentar von 399801

Hi,

I just used the dragon to get me on the top of the tower.
I than killed him with my own weapons. Wasn't easy, but it can be done.
I'm a level 76 warrior.

Greetz all

Kommentar von 419268

After reading comments I thought this quest was gonna be extermely hard. I was wrong. All you have to do is target him from sides and hit three, then two and then spam one until 3 cool down and repeat. Very easy money, gear and exp all in all.

Kommentar von 416001

i cant controll his drake...i dont know what i did wrong.......did the other 2 quest up to this one but it wont ley me control..it....

Kommentar von 428924

Pre-req is both of woodsman drake's other quests.

Kommentar von 13419

I used the LOS trick and D&D'ed him to death. Took a while but, i got him.

Kommentar von shadowstevens

Easy steps to complete this quest:
1. Use ability 3 (Molten something, the one with the DOT) to start combat.
2. Once combat is started, get to melee range and immediately hit Wing Buffet.
3. Keep your mouse cursor on the Wing Buffet icon; each time the CD is up, hit it. Wing Buffet is the top priority over all the other abilities.
4. Any time Wing Buffet is on CD, it's your choice of either Flame Breath or the Molten ability. Personally i try to use the Molten ability as often as I can, ie. hit it when it's off CD, but it may be difficult to keep an eye on it while concentrating on Wing Buffet AND spamming Flame Breath all at once.

With the above technique, I was able to complete the quest with about 1/3 health left on Flamebringer.

Also, I found that he only did direct damage to me when I was NOT in melee range. It was either his ranged attacks or the Volley attack that did the direct damage. In melee, he only seemed to attack Flamebringer, and Volley was never used. Not sure if this was pure luck, though.

Kommentar von Uinri

A small thing to note, even though it isn't related to killin'

Once you've killed Thane, you can ride the dragon out of Voldrune. It gives you an 8 second warning before dropping you. That is enough time to reach 4/5ths of the way to the Alliance base. Saves you some time riding and killing your way through Voldrune.

Kommentar von 326714

Hmm, it seems I was doing this quest all wrong. I do need to get up in his face. I tried like 3 times from range, but I'll try that strategy. I'll let you guys know if I manage to drop his butt.

Kommentar von rodzilla67

I just finished this quest. I found the flying right into his face was succesful for me. I tried a few times with the other suggested methods, and they didnt work as well. I am a 73 Combat Rogue. So I couldnt create my own tank. He never used the Volley attack as someone else mentioned, and this allowed me to complete the quest with full health, and dragon was abot 3k left.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von 458609

as a lvl73 blood spec dk, i found it easier to just fly up there and kill him without the drake.

Kommentar von nowayride

Fly up to the platform.
Land right next to him in melee range.
Mash 1, 2, and 3.
Fly away with 75% health left.

Kommentar von MakaB

This is soloable on foot as a 75 ele shaman in quest rewards and heirlooms.

Use your flying mount to get up the tower and approach the boss from behind, throw a DoT on him, drop your totems and summon your earth elemental. The elemental will tank him and you can spam dps, heroism and the like.

With a few self heals and maybe 1 or 2 on the elemental this is easily solo'd without using the drake.

Kommentar von Krogue

I'm not sure if this is a reference, but it's too coincidental not be one. Torvald Nom is character in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series of fantasy books by Steven Erikson.

Kommentar von 442848

Not sure why everyone seemed to have such a problem, I didn't have a clue what I was doing so I just spammed the skills and he dropped fast as hell. Easier than it's made out to be.

Kommentar von tedward1986

So goddamn annoying, if he kills you while you're on Flamebringer your corpse just floats up there, unreachable. FAIL quest design.

Kommentar von 472463

this quest is a mess...u cant spam 1 bc u will die easily. i tried doing 3 then spamming 1 and i died. and yes if u die u will be unable to retrieve your corpse u will have to take rezz sickness. and every time i move outta volley he reset. so i still have yet to figure how to do this quest.

Kommentar von 384718

Get up on top of Thane. Pop 2, then 3, spam 1, repeat. Easy.

Kommentar von 478016

i died the first time but the second time was insanely easy. just stayed on the ledge a little bit to the right of thane and spammed 1 and 3 and killed him with 8k health left on the drake. pallys if ur drake dies and thane is still alive u can probably just make sure ur close enough on the ledge and finish him by yourself =)

Kommentar von 501042

This is another quest you shouldn't really bother with. Fly the dragon around a bit for fun if you like, but trying to kill the mob is just going to ruin your armour. Like those above, you'll probably die a few times, and like me, your corpse might end up floating mid air where you can't reach it, and have to res at the graveyard. Quest reward < repair costs.

Kommentar von Calabra

THE TRICK TO THIS IS TO GET IN HIS FACE.

The first reaction most experience is to attack from a distance. DON'T get as close to him as you can get and use all abilities available. I started with Flame Breath, then hit him with Wing Buffet, and then Molten Fury. I continued the onslaught using Wing Buffet whenever it came off CD (cooldown) and Molten Fury as well. It took no time.

Good luck,
Calabra

Kommentar von Zyland

If you have a flying mount, it is possible to skip the dragon and kill him head on. As a 73 Ret Paladin, it was simple enough, a small group with a means of healing should be able to do this without the dragon as well.

Credit is awarded if you don't use the dragon.

Kommentar von Icemagic

Fighting him in melee range on your dragon is far the best option for this fight.

Kommentar von 316211

for some reason i die before the dragon does xD wtf?

Kommentar von Reaperoftime

i found that doing the rotation 2 3 1 was much more effective than spamming 1.... 3 does more dmg to thane if he is stunned thus you use 231 and only spam 1 when other two are on CD

hope this helps : )

Kommentar von 2seconds

I just solod this guy without the dragon mount the quest wants you to use as a shaman. didn't use heroism or any trinkets just a earth elemental and my regular dps rotation healing were it was needed... so easy its kinda laughable. but yeah if your class can heal and you move out of the volley when he does it you can easily do this quest without the drake.

Kommentar von 349035

Really this is NOT hard unless it's bugged - just make use of the abilities given properly and he'll die with around 10k left on your drake. Almost all non-bugged mob issues arise from trying to either faceroll this quest, or by trying to stand back and shoot. Neither one is a very effective route to success. It's not made to be fought that way. Use the abilities Blizzard gave you, and get your butt into close range.

1. Move into melee range, use the 2nd stun ability immediately.
2. Then use the 3rd fire ability. (Note that it does double damage to stunned targets.)
3. Then just use the 1st fire ability until the stun recycles and the 3rd fire ability has about 1-2s of CD left. (Do NOT stun him the second it comes up - you are wasting
damage on the 3rd ability.)
4. Hit him with stun, then the 3rd fire ability for double-damage due to him being stunned.
5. Go back to spamming the first ability.
6. Rinse, repeat, win.

He should spend his time meleeing your dragon, and die with you having between 5-10k hps left on it.
Repeated this many many times testing - always works, always easy. Just pay attention to the relationship tween the 2nd and 3rd CD's - that's all ya gotta do. Non-complicated.

P.S. Him suddenly regenning hit points is usually due to evade issues. Get in his face. Land the dragon on the ledge next to him, hell on top of him if you want - and that should not happen. If it continues to after that - you've got a bugged mob.

Kommentar von 446389

I attempt to kll Thane for the 3rd time killed 2x. I manage to us consistently flame breath plus molten fury when its up. Stun him a couple of times and its done.

Kommentar von 560227

I have retrieved my corpse every death....

Kommentar von 583795

I sort of went with the close up suggestion, but I have 9.2k health, so I kept getting killed.

I hit him with #2, then spammed #1, and befor he fully recovered I flew around the building and let #2 cooldown. After 3-4 rotations of this he went down without me taking any damage.

Kommentar von Beace

I've never had any problems with this quest before. This time ability #1 didn't work at all for me though. So I just kept doing #3 and #2 which got him down to 30% or so before my drake died. I had made sure I was over the ledge up in tower, so after that I just finished him off normally.

Kommentar von 585527

Did it in my first try as a level 73 blood DK, i just did #3 then #2 then spammed #1 while everything else was on cd, and when he volleys just swerve, piece of cake and i had 60-70% hp left.

Kommentar von 567502

This quest is broken for me. I've tried over and over and no matter where I aim it, flame breath does not hit him. I can only damage him with #3. I finally gave up and just killed him without the drake. Its much easier that way.

Kommentar von Arcanias

So I tried doing this as a level 74 affliction warlock and died like 10 times after trying all the strategies I read on this page. After getting frustrated I just tried killing him without the drake and RAPED him... Ditch the drake, fly up to his tower and just beat the crap out of him.

Note: He will NOT move from his position. So if your a class that has dots. Run into line of site of him, dot him up, then run behind the little shack thing until your dots are about to expire then run back and refresh them and repeat until he is dead.

Kommentar von Maahk

I tried this quest multiple times without success. Every time, he would get to like 1 or 2% health and no matter what I could not harm him further with the drake. I finally just flew around back of the shack, landed, and killed him myself.

This was way harder than it should be and I've got no idea why he would not die. If he's bugging for you, give this a go.

Kommentar von snowolf

Just did the quest on my hunter, dragon got killed, I sent in my pet and run behind the hut, Mr. Thane never attacked it or moved, kept targetting me and did no damage while my pet finished him off easily.

Kommentar von DavivMcD

Found a new way to do this while it's still bugged:

Fly your drake around the side of his shack, just out of line of sight. Spam 1, aiming for the floor of his platform right in front of him. It didn't hit every time for me, but it did hit occasionally, while trying to shoot him from the front didn't. Since you're out of line of sight, you can just sit in that spot til he dies and not take any damage.

OR, if that isn't working for you, no matter what angle you try, try this:

Same position: just around the side out of his line of sight. Every time 2 and 3 are off cooldown, strafe into sight and hit them both (2 first, then 3), then strafe back to hide before he gets up.

Kommentar von 629685

Absolutely terrible quest. Buggy because your dragon's spells tend to miss, even when the boss is targeted correctly.

I could not complete this quest, regardless of the fact that I followed many of the tips posted here. Finally, after about 30 minutes of trying, I just decided to do something cheap: I would wing buffet (2) the boss, cast the DoT (3), and then move out of his line of sight by moving behind the wall. He couldn't attack me, and the DoT inflicted damage on him. After that, I would go back, Wing Buffet again, and then DoT again. I repeated this about five times and beat him with 95% HP left.

The only reason why this quest was possible for me was his poor AI.

THIS IS BY FAR THE EASIEST WAY TO COMPLETE THE QUEST.

Kommentar von Shaitan051

Don't bother trying to use Flamebringer to get easy xp off the other enemies. Their hp won't go below 1. Knocking a bunch down to 1hp and then dismounting to finish them won't work either: Their hp will magically refill to max.

Blizzard is kind of a jerk.

Kommentar von Mipe

The Flame Breath ability was doing no damage no matter how I positioned myself and the targeting thing, and the Thane was hitting me instead of the dragon. After I'd escaped from him and re-mounted about five times I got fed up and just flew to the back of the building, dismounted, and killed him normally, popping around the corner a couple of times to heal myself in peace.

And I did this as a level 74 discipline priest. Something is seriously wrong when it's easier for a healer to complete the quest without the dragon than with it.

Kommentar von ocelot113

easiest way.. grab the drake... fly over and dismount on the platform. the drake does crap damage and most of the time you cant even hit him because the splash is so small. so just solo him.

Kommentar von 86797

This quest is currently bugged (atleast for me) I cannot hurt him at all with any of the dragons attacks, standing close doesn't help either.

Kommentar von Breakability

This quest is incredibly easy, now. There are three moves - first is a ranged, direct attack, second is a ranged stun, and third is a dot that does extra damage when he is stunned. Spam them in order and you're good to go.

I only took about 1/3 damage before he died, I'm sure others can do better than that.

Unfortunately, you can't fly the dragon out of Voldrune :[ He'll throw a tantrum and kick ya off, but you do parachute to safety.

This quest was not glitched for me, and I finished it about 5 minutes ago.

Easiest way to do this quest:

Ignore the drake completely. Fly up to where he is standing on your own mount, dismount on the platform to the back of the buidling. Torvald has no ranged attacks (except for the volley) so it is safe to stand anywhere out of melee range. He will not chase you, he cannot move from his position. DPS him a bit, move from volley, go around the side to heal up, go back to him and continue DPSing. When your health gets low, move out of range and just heal yourself. Rinse and repeat

He does not chase you, making it easy to DPS, run away, heal, DPS, run away, heal.

Hehe, easy as cake as a (level 74) BM hunter using the Ignore the drake tactics.
I used my tanking pet (high armor, loads of stamina and self-heal) but it would probably have worked with any pet, due to him not using volley at all.
No need to move out of range. My Mend Pet ability was enough to keep the pet at full HP over the entire duration of the fight.

Update: I've looked up my recount logs and according to this Thane Torvald Eriksson did the following damage to my pet.

Melee: 16123
Arcane Shot: 3573 (probably while approaching him)

My pet had 14.7K HP and one tick of Mend Pet healed it for 1734.

My first two times doing this, everything went fine. Then my druid alt struggled with it; I probably died four times or so, with a couple more where I just got away with 10% health. Getting up close didn't help, as all my abilities would just miss like the mob wasn't there. Eventually I just settled on being close, but not too close, and at an angle; I dodged Volley more easily that way too. Got it the first time doing it that way.

Forget the dragon. I flew up there with my 74 destro warlock on my mount. Deployed my voidwalker and proceeded with my normal casting routines. Fight lasted less than a minute. My minion had 70% health and I had close to 75% with no pots or health stones used.

Kommentar von 769067

Solo'd this quite easily with a lvl 74 Hunter.

Forget the dragon, its a waste of time, if you have a flying mount just land on the ledge around the corner from the Thane. Then go and hit him with exploding shot, black arrrow or whatever you have, then get in close and use traps and melee until dead, it doesn't take long. Your pet will do a lot of damage to him, strangely he doesnt seem to attack the pet much.

If you stand off him, he will use volley and kill you easily.

Just so people know you dont have to use the dragon, i found it alot harder using the dragon but then i tried without and was pretty easy to solo as a ret pally.

Well after trying 5 times with the dragon and being smoked like old fish for my efforts, I came here, read all the comments, watched the video tutorial and tried again, 5 more times with the dragon. Failed. Each. Time. I couldn't get him below 50% usingf any of the suggested methods of using the Dragon.
So...I flew up, landed in his face and absolutely melted him with my 74 Disc Priest. Standard buffs only; Power Word: Fort, Inner Fire, Shadow Protection and Superior Wizard Oil.
He never got me below 75% health. And, it felt really good to get some payback after him kick my arse for the last 45 minutes :)

My suggestion: If you're competant at fighting with your character, and can fly, try landing on his tower and then slapping him across the chin. You should do fine.
Hope this helps.

Kommentar von 729676

Did this quest about 6 times before I finally got him down.

You have to get in his face but when I got too close #1 didn't hit him each time so I had to back up a little bit. When he does volley you can wing buffet and it will stun him out of the attack. I spammed 1 and 3 and used buffet whenever it was up. It took a few tries but once you get into the right position you can get him down pretty quickly.

Kommentar von 789694

In this quest I looked for the dragon for about 30 seconds (that was how long it took me to go around the village) and didn't see one. So I got frustrated and went and kill this guy myself xD

Kommentar von 799238

Okay, so I just did the quest I got the drake and all I did was go right up to him on the ledge he is on, and started pressing 1, 2 and 3..lol. And that is what killed him.

Kommentar von 802681

i started off killing thane from the dragon, being a fire/frost mage with my water elem.

i then landed on platform next to thane, and cast my mirror image spell and with the 5 of us we killed him..

Kommentar von ziggy29

I was having trouble getting the dragon to do sustained damage, so finally I regrouped, flew into the thane, dropped off the mount (level 75 tank warrior, almost 20k health buffed) and just slugged it out. I had to burn one runic healing potion but I got it done pretty quickly. If I got to him with full health I may not have needed the potion.

Kommentar von 486737

This was the one of the easiest quests in the game. Make sure you keep using the stun whenever it's off cooldown and just alternate between spell 1 and 3. I had him beat in 12 seconds. I had trouble finding him but he is on the ledge - of a building, not a cliff ledge. When he uses volley, stun him. Simples.

Kommentar von 857476

I agree with previous posters that this quest is easier to do without the dragon by flying up to the ledge he is on. I killed him in about 30 seconds as a level 73 Balance Druid using Force of Nature (treants) to attack him from one side while I hit him with my Boomkin using Moonfire, Wrath and Starsurge. I only had to use Rejuvination once and ended with almost 100% health.

Kommentar von 802681

I got right up in thane's face, it worked so fast..i just kept hitting the spells, didn't wait for cooldown, and when they were ready they went off. He was ded in about 1.5 sec..woot..

Kommentar von Devotion1337

I took the boss easy with my rogue in 74, with no herliooms. Theres just to DoT him up when you got low health then run around the corner and wait for your hp to get up. Just watch out for the DoT's duration time.

Kommentar von Beozeo61

Or..........you can do as I did and just fly up to him on your mount, dismount, and kill him. I'm a lvl 74 Protection Paladin and just did it no problem.

Kommentar von drewy91

just did this quest and when flying away I flew up pretty high and when I dismounted his dragon I got a parachute as a fell and when I landed I got the going down achievement so if you don't have it yet and aren't a class who can do it easily pretty simple way to do it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

26.5,76 is the dragon.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

FINALLY,, at the fourth attempt, I happened to land on the platform when my dragon died and I smacked him down.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After having read the posts here and failing 5 times, I finally figured out how to beat this:

1. You MUST be as physically close to him as possible to prevent him from casting "Volley".
2. If he does get a "Volley" off, use "Wing Buffet" (#2) to interupt it.
3. Cast "Molten Fury" (#3) whenever it is up.
4. Spam "Flame Breath" (#1) as much as you can.

Using this method I didn't take a single point of damage, only the dragon did. If you don't catch the "Volley" castings, they will hit your toon and kill you mid-air, one time of which I was unable to recover my corpse. That brought up nightmares of the early days of Ragnaros.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Good info, 73 lock that took him out on the dragon, and flew the dragon back.

Thanks

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time killing him. I've tried 5 times and only came close once. The dragon always dies before he dies.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It is a matter of technique. You do need to be up close. At the end get right up on top of him. This way if you parachute you won't have to start all over. Be prepared to die if you don't get close to smell his breath or take out the two defenders down below. In the end since I am a rogue I had to jump off the platform(no dmg for rogues). There are no stairs which is why you need to up on top of him to finish him off if the dragon dies.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest should be for a group of 3. The dragon can not withstand the complete fight.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I flew right up onto him. Hit Wing Buffet every time it was up, used the fire dot every time it was up, spammed the main attack. My dragon died with the Thane @ 1500 health so I was able to complete the fight fairly easily (78 holy/disc priest lol)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I didn't bother with the dragon thingy. I used my own Celestial Mount and went up there and wacked him myself. Not an easy fight, though. Questhelper told me where he was.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You just need to make sure you're positioned in the right place immediately, any misses or "target needs to be in front of you" and you're stuffed. As mentioned above - "Spam flame breath, and use wing buffet whenever its CD is up, and you should win no problem. His melee strength is feeble compared to his ranged."

Good Luck!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Flamebringer at 22.6, 78 -> talk with
Thane at 27, 73 -> just kill

This has to be one of the worst quests I have seen on WOW. Did they even play-test this thing first? The first time I tried this quest the dragon died and my character flipped over onto the ledge dead. I couldn't get to my body and had to take the sickness. I tried it again just to be sure I hadn't done anything to cause it. Sure enough, the same thing happened. I was much further away that time. The third time I did it, but still. This quest flat out SUCKS.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

1. Talk to the Drake at 26,77 in western Voldrune.
2. You'll the drake and fly a short distance north up the hill to 27,73 (pretty much the first building up the hill on the left)
3. Kill Thane, he is on the roof/balconny at the top of the building.

WHY IS THIS DRAGON SUCH DOG*!@#?

Kommentar von sldkfj1473

Just do yourself a HUGE favor and skip Grizzly hills all together. DOG@#$% zone with DOG*!@# quests. Good day

Kommentar von Zwilariel

Broken/bugged/something seriously wrong with this drake. I read the tooltips on abilities 1, 2, and 3, was prepared for a vehicle fight ... and #1 didn't work. At all. I could get #2 and #3 to affect the mob, but ability #1 did nothing except use up a global cooldown. Tried from far away, tried from up close where he was meleeing me and hurting me ... nothing.

Gave up on winning with a broken vehicle, flew up there myself and just killed him.

Kommentar von marc8484

to access him if you don't have flying mount, the quest says to go unchain the dragon in the west end of that area, go down the hill a little and they're you'll find dragon. Mount him, hit 1, 2, 3 and cycle through till he's dead on top of that tower.

Kommentar von Saerthaera

Skip this, as of WoTLK Classic it's not possible to do unless you have a flying mount and can go up and solo him. You can't kill him with the proto-drake mount due to bugged scaling.

Kommentar von Gullet

All of these posts and not one with a coord for Flamebringer...

/way 26.5 77.8 Flamebringer

Kommentar von Hairband

I'm with the users here stating that, at this time time of printing, that he will not Volley when in melee range. Volley on you means you too far away. Get in and he can't range you, just like any hunter needs to be at 10y or back or they can't use their bows, they have to melee you.

Use the middle button, Wing Buffet, like a rogue's stun when you're looking at the whites of his eyes. Then mash 1 (GCD) and 3 (longer cooldown) when in range. If he kills your mount, better have your dots up and kite him around the top of the platform like the towers in an AV. Dot, run/kite, he is dead.

Kommentar von Zvezdichko

Just did it on a level74 Demonology Warlock. Soloed with a Voidwalker, while using Health funnel, and when my health gets depleted: Drain Life. Occasional Life Tap for mana, Occasional Corruption and Curse of Agony.

Jobs done!

Kommentar von Aloradus

Well, you know what they say: 8th time's the charm!

Kommentar von faiding

Targeting and hit box on the drake is terrible. The first ability landed 1 out of 5 times. The only way I could kill him was melee range and hitting the stun + breathe as soon as they popped. Even at that it was luck.
