classified as a "group" quest. All centaur on the way up the hill are normal, only the Khan is elite.

After you blow the horn, 2 khan guards run up the hill.

Then, 2 guards and an advisor

Finally, 2 guards, an advisor, and the Khan himself.

I had no trouble soloing up to the final battle as a combat-spec lvl 42 rogue. The 4-on-1 action killed me twice.

However when you die, the baddies don't disappear, they hang around waiting for you to claim your corpse, so if you're patient and don't mind dying, you can focus-fire, kill one, die, return, kill another, die, and then take out the last two, which is how I did it.

No major issues killing the Khan 1-on-1 thanks to disarm - he's a pushover without his axe.

I don't recommend trying to solo unless you are a few levels higher, and can do some decent crowd control. I may have been able to avoid death if I could thin the crowd more effectively.

attempted at lvl 39 hunter solo...failed miserably...does anyone know if i have to abandon this quest to get the mouthpiece again or if i abandon it will i have to do the whole chain again?

silly people on my server not helping out when someone asks for help :o(

Comment by Thottbot

The horn itself is at 29:53. however, getting the mouthpiece is a right bastard. i've been grinding about an hour and a half now... killed about 50-60 maraudines of all classes... and not one drop of the mouthpiece needed as of yet.

Comment by Thottbot

its also single use, so bring some friends. when you activate the horn, 2 or 3 small waves of 3-4 mobs come up, the last group has the elite and is not possible to solo at lvl 42 anyway due to the adds.

i was hoping that after dispatching all the prelims he might show up for a one-on-one fight, but no such luck; ill have to go back and get the horn again now :(

Comment by Thottbot

The mouthpiece is extremely annoying to find. I've been killing these things from the night before, this morning and now tonight, still no stupid mouthpiece.
But hey, they have to make something difficult right?
On the plus side, I've made about 1g trying to find it.

Comment by Thottbot

got the mouthPiece on first kill, luckily.

Comment by Thottbot

This quest is <Elite> and should be done in a small group.

Comment by Thottbot

Just finished solo-ing this one at lvl 43, died once when it was only him left, but i hustled back from the the grave yard and rez'd and he was still there, healed up and took em down. fairly simple compared to some other elite's

Comment by Thottbot

As a 44 druid, I tried to solo it 4 times and failed. The last wave just hits too hard, never had the chance to even kill one.

41 priest friend came to help and we did it np.

Make sure to drink and/or eat between waves.

Comment by Thottbot

Did this with a lvl 41 priest (I am lvl 41 rogue) and we died several times before finally killing him.
Had to kill all the adds first, (die in the process) then race back from the graveyard before he disappeared.
Take plenty of food, potions etc, or a high level friend - theres never anyone around in Desolace to help on the spur of the moment!
3 waves of centaurs, with the boss in the last wave (4 of them in the last wave - a 39, 2 x 40 & the boss himself).

Comment by Thottbot

I tried this with a 42 Warlock, I am a 41 Warior. We got down to Khan Hratha himself but a Horde SOB killed me and then the Warlock. When we got back no one was around. We tried to re-blow the horn but after the second wave nothing happened. Khan Hratha never came up the hill. I tried to reset the quest and tried again, the same thing happened nothing. How do you get him to come up the hill so you can kill him? Please help, this quest is too long to give up on.

Comment by Thottbot

Having summoned the Khan and his guards and brutally dispatched the relativly easy first waves with a mixture of traps and conventional combat, I was stuck on the khan and his bodygaurd. My solution was run down the bridge till I was just within weapon range, feinting to escape the hoary half men. The Khan & co. only patrol around the horn, so once I was a distance away I could target just one of the bodygaurds loose my growling pet and focus all my DPS on that same centaur. My cat would certainly die but not before that one centaur fell. Then I would feign death to loose all agro and let the centaurs return up the slope to the horn. The centaurs would be one less than they were and I could rez my pet and repeat, untill I had the Khan on his own. Thus, for the cost of a little food, a 46 hunter could complete the quest with little fuss.

Obviously, using any kind of multiple target shot is an outrageously stupid thing to do.

As for the Mouthpiece, I'm pretty sure it only drops from Marauders. Plenty will appear if you do the quest to free the captured Goblin.

Comment by Thottbot

Soloed this thing as a level 44 restoration druid on my first try. Long fight, but I came out of it alive.

I used my solo gear, which is mostly agility and stamina boosts, was well-fed for +12 Stamina and Spirit, and had a Scroll of Protection III on me. Was in dire bear form for the first two waves, making sure to Enrage before the mobs got to me and Feral Regeneration a couple times. Popped off Rejuveation and Regrowth between fights so I could heal while building up rage for the next part.

When Hratha showed up, I pretty much ignored him until his cronies were dead, stunning him occasionally and just using the same strategy as in the first two waves, but with a little more healing. Once Hratha was alone, I switched to cat form until I realized that I wasn't doing enough damage to compensate for the loss of armor, so I switched back to dire bear until he was almost dead, then spammed Moonfire to take out his last few hundred HP.

Only had a few close calls, and ended up using one Superior Healing Potion and one Greater Mana Potion in the final wave (yes, the fight was long enough for the potion to cool down).

Lesson learned: Feral is not the only good build for a druid in solo. :)

Comment by Thottbot

I thught a Mauradine and a Maurader was the same thing, but it turned out that there's a Centauri Clan named Mauradine at Valley of Spears. Just go kill them to get the Mouth Pice.

Comment by Thottbot

ive blown the horn 3 times already and the first 2 waves come, but after it just stops, help?

Comment by Thottbot

where is this? in desloace?

Comment by Thottbot

Thanks to the quest being bugged had to repeat this quest twice. Both times got the mouth piece from the guy at 33,61 in a tent opposite the meeting stone next to the strung up leather thingy. Dont know whether its coincidence. Hope this helps!

Comment by Thottbot

level 47 pal hard solo horn at 29 .53 fail 1st shot will go back and see if the horn pc drops again

Comment by Thottbot

keep killing Maraudines, than 29,53

Comment by Thottbot

Just for reference i killed my first 2 mobs and got the warhorn. Go to the cave just southewest of the Valley of Spears you'll see a hill with a hut at the top of it, kill the Maraudine Wranglers at the bottom of the hill and you will get the mouthpiece easy.

Comment by Thottbot

i killed a bunch of mobs without finding anyone who had the mouthpiece. annoyed (and bored), i blew the horn on the twisty hilltop at 29,53 anyway, killed the first two mobs that ran up to defend, and it was a drop off the first guard i killed. go figure.

Comment by Thottbot

If you're OK with dying twice to get this Q done solo, then do as follows:

1. Focus on killing his guards
2. die on the middle of the bridge, Khan and those not dead will go up to the horn after you died, then u can run back and res on bridge heal up and do another try. He didnt despawn for me and I ran back 2 times, i.e. 3 tries and Q done.

Kthxbye.

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Thottbot

So me (39 priest) and a friend of mine (40 warrior) try this quest. It takes about 30 minutes to get the horn piece, not too bad.

The wave with Khan in it is hard, even with two of us. We die, we try again. Surprisingly Khan is still wandering around. We get close, and die. 3rd time, they're gone.

And horn piece is gone.

Apparently you get *one* use. And it's not a group drop.

Irked that we failed, we set out to get another horn piece. we clear the entire area... Hour and a half to 2 hours. There is nothing left alive outside Mauradon, and no horn.

We abandon quest, try again, takes around 30 minutes to get the horn piece. we call another friend (40 Mage) to help.

with 3 no problem. we kill Khan. rejoice! BUT BEFORE THE FIGHT IS OVER the body dissapears! can't loot. quest ruined AND NO HORN!

SO... We are angry and determined, we get another horn. this takes us only 2 or 3 kills (thank god) We kill him again, combat loot we get the drop and we're done.

after all that, we hearth, and I look in my bag and I still have the freakin horn.

p.s. if you try to mind control a centaur and run him off the cliff (it should be funny) he just bugs out, floats down, and then reappears up top... bah!

Comment by Thottbot

I am a huge newb, been playing wow for about 2 months. I am 42 hunter, and easily cleared and completed quest with 42 druid.

1) mouthpiece may take a while to drop, but you gain decent grinding experience while trying. ( not great but ok)
2) horn cords are correct, 29,53. its on top of a huge plateau
(without cords, continue deep into the camps, and keep looking up you cant miss it.)(camps are south east desolace in valley of spears, hop skip and leep from kabodo graveyard)
3) No deaths necessary. Kill Khan then kill adds, or loot and run.

Comment by Thottbot

1. The centaurs are to the west of the map and half way down the map itself...in the middle of some mountain range.

2. To get the mouth piece kill all the centaurs you can...you'll get it fast if your lucky enough..otherwise just keep killing them.

3. the horn is at the top of a VERY tall pillar...its hard to miss so just look up theres a ramp that leads up to it...

4. when you blow the horn the centaurs come in waves of 2 or 3 centuars...they are only lvls 39-40 non elites... the guy ur supposed to kill is just a lvl 42 elite so dont freak...

Im a lvl 39 hunter and I easily Soloed it...its not as hard as people say it is so give it a try by urself if you 39 or higher...maybe 38 just give it a try...if u cant do it...then ask for a little help ^_^

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone notice the lack of thought in this whole line of quests?

Step 1: Kill Centaurs
Step 2: Kill more centaurs
Step 3: Kill even more centaurs
Step 4: Blow the crap out of Centaurs

UGH! make it stop.. make the bad man stop!

Comment by Allakhazam

Did this as a 42 rogue without any trouble.. the waves are as described - plenty of time to eat/bandage and stealth after each.

For the final wave, sap the Khan and pull the rest back and open up on them (blade flurry works a treat here). The Khan should break sap some time when you're killin' the third mob.

Vanish as soon as all his guards are dead.. use the time to recoup, eat/bandage.. then attack him. You might need to use evasion / blind -> bandage, but he is quite easy.

Comment by Allakhazam

got it from the 5th one I killd ;D

Comment by Allakhazam

like 300 kills later finally got a mouthpeice

Comment by Allakhazam

After trying this again, I've developed a little strategy which I'd like to share... this is more specifically for rogues who want to solo this.

1.) You can use distract to pull one mob from the rest, as in for every round you can pull one mob and make it a LOT easier when you kill the rest. In the third round, it's best to go pull Khan ONLY when they're starting to run up to the top of the ramp.

2.) Sapping will obviously work when stunning one person for the rest of the time... otherwise, Blind will work.

3.) Riposte will REALLY favor you in this as Hratha will clobber you with his axe.

4.) Even after you pull Khan from the rest of his protectors (if you manage to), he will stand still for 10 seconds. The problem is him and his guards WALK to the freaking top, and that can be a little bit harder to pull him. What I did was I sapped him and I had the improved sap with me to stay in stealth. His guards walked away and I managed to off him separately.

There are 3 waves once you use the mouthpiece on the giant horn.

Keep in mind, all 3 waves will come from the direction you came from (down the ramp from the horn).

Each wave has 3 mobs:

Wave 1: 2 melee + 1 caster centuar, all 40 (non-Elite).
Wave 2: Same as Wave 1.
Wave 3: Same as Wave 1 PLUS a level 42 Elite Khan Hratha.

Was an interesting fight, 43 Shaman and 40 druid. We lost on wave 3, but was able to drop one of his friends.

Used Shaman-rez, rezzed the druid, and finished the fight.

4300 XP @ level 43.

Worst...string...of...quests.......EVER!

Took me 3 hours at level 40 to get as far as broken tears, in that about 200-250 centaur kills. All for a stupid stinking belt that's pretty decent, sigh...

Comment by Allakhazam

You need War Horn Mouthpiece for horn. Horn itself at 29.52

Comment by Allakhazam

Damn. Do you poeople Know how annoying it is to read your complaints about this. I come here looking for the information that should be here, how to do the quest, and all I get is babble. Gee thanks for wasting my time.

Comment by Allakhazam

Did this quest solo as a 45 holy priest.

Make sure you have full health/mana when Hratha comes, then Mind Control him - MAKE SURE the Khan has all 3 guards attacking him, not you. Try to kill the healer with Hratha's Cleave. By the time mind control breaks, the Khan should be at ~50% health. Psychic Scream to fear them all, then nuke Khan Hratha as hard as you can.

Take my advice though... if you screw up, DON'T try to escape by using Levitate to float off the cliff! I tried this, and the healer frost shocked me, causing me to fall to my doom =(

Comment by Allakhazam

the thing you guys don't account for is that once you have the friendly rep unless you are fighting to get the broken tears and get into the cave easly you can just start at the north on the road in line with bridge than kill to the valley and fall into it (take a little damage from falling)

Comment by Allakhazam

Despawns after five minutes.
First I tried nuking the Khan. At 40% the healer lady healed him back full.
The Khan took out my succubus after three hits, when I wasn't focused on re-seducing him.
The two marauders killed me in several swipes each, and have a moderate amount of hp to take my curses.
Boo :(

Comment by Allakhazam

I solo'd this as a lvl 44 warlock. First two waves are easy, kill the caster first. In the last wave I targetted the caster first, then I tried to for the Khan, but died. Used soulstone, but my voidwalker couldn't get the aggro of me, so I died. I went back as a ghost, and the Khan was still there. Ressed, then took out the two guards (DoT, then wait while funneling). Then took out the Khan. Used one potion in the final fight (was low on health to funnel).

Comment by Allakhazam

Quest reward isn't worth all this, though I'll do the first stage because it's a grinding quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

4300 xp @ lvl39.

Ill admit, rewards sucked, but the XP was nice.

Comment by Allakhazam

neither chain is worth doing, but i'd highly recomend doing the gelkis. magram wants target dummy, which is hard to get inless you are or know an engineer, then it wants you to fight all way through gelkis cave to get khan. magram khan is right there, fight only few mobs to find his spawn and he has only 1 guard, gelkis has entire camp. but either way the final quest is a waste. you will be in the 50s before you have a hope of soloing it, and don't expect to get a group for it. if they put blues on rewards instead of greens that you can buy in AH, it might be worth the trouble.
