Xan is the final boss/elite you have to kill to save Gara and Tame her as your very own. He spawns in a Vignette in Schattenmondtal after you kill a random number of the surrounding elite Void creatures (both Hoher Leerrufer and Hoher Leerenfürst).

First time I saw his title, my mind read "Xan, Lord of Gass".
Oh you brain.

The final boss of the BM hunter epic tame quest. A video guide for the entirety of the quest can be found here: http://youtu.be/euk6C97pyvg

I'm killing the Voids around the tree for 30 min and no Xan spawning, and as soon I move too far from the tree I get Phased out of the Void Realm. Wowhead needs to update the spawn point correctly.

Edit: Reading a comment on this video , I tried Letting Gara give the Killing Blow on the voids (dismissed pet at about 40k life, and stopped attacking). Bam Xan spawned for me. Those that got Xan to spawn in fewer tries AND with pet out, must have had luck to have Gara give the killing blow before your pet or you. My lantern buff was almost out, and when finally I managed to spawn Xan, servers where being restarted... bummer.

It seems that Gara has to deal killing blow on add, then wait up to 1 minute to see if he spawns near the tree.

For those of you worried about the buff running out....

After the first time you click on the dagger it will always show up, with or without the lantern buff. Working on it at 92, and I died to one of the voids, and the dagger is still in the tree and clickable even though I have no buffs at all.

So don't sweat it if you are worried about time and need to afk or if you want to go run a dungeon. Just re-enter the void world when you get back.

This is the final NPC that it is necessary to fight during the last phase of the Gara tame quest for Beastmaster hunters. Level 100 elites in the Void Realm must be be killed until Xan randomly spawns. There are two types of elites: the Hoher Leerenfürst has 1174 K health and takes much longer to kill than its counterpart in the Void Realm, the Hoher Leerrufer, which has 204 K health. There is enough room to move around and target only the Hoher Leerrufers. Xan's health is midway between the Hoher Leerenfürst's and the Hoher Leerrufer's. Xan does not aggro to you, so there is time to eat before the last fight.

(Note: I stayed in the Void Realm the full 60 minutes of the Void Realm buff, killing Voidcallers and Void Lords and Xan didn't spawn. I also had 2 partially started area quests overlapping the Void Realm, which may have been somehow interfering. I completed both area quests before re-entering the Void, and Xan spawned after about 10 minutes. It is unknown whether this was related, but worth noting if the fight goes on past 20 minutes or so).

I just tamed Gara using the guide on my level 98 hunter. You do NOT need to be level 100, but I bet it helps.

Edit: It took 25 minutes.

Kommentar von mezzea

I see no connection to direct kills by Gara and spawning of Xan - first i've tried (with my friend, another hunter) for about 40 minutes - giving Gara possibility to kill mobs, then we tried to kill them by ourselves - nothing happenes, no Xan spawns. I had to go, so i tried today with only 15mins lataren buff - he spawns after my second kill.

Kommentar von Tanyanka

It might be completely coincidental, however - I had a Bodyguard with me and killed the Mobs for about half an hour. Nothing happened. I decided to send my Bodyguard home, killed one Mob and Xan spawned immediately. As I said, might have been coincidence, but it also might be worth a try if you're getting desperate.

Kommentar von Draewind

My first time doing this was great. Click dagger and poof. Kill the Hoher Leerenfürst in front of me and Xan spawned. Killed him dismissed pet and when Gara went neutral I tamed him.

My next three hunters had hell ... long times and many kills until he spawned. Tried everything ... no idea what causes him to spawn.

I can say that the last time I killed him was on a level 97 hunter, that quit spending the effort on the Hoher Leerenfürst and just started killing Hoher Leerrufer. I took breaks to read these posts and wrote the original of this one. If you move too far north, west, or south, then you will phase out and have to go back to the dagger.

I do know that Xan always spawned at the same place, just west of the tree @.

You can use the dagger later to phase in and go looking for a Vermisster Netherwolf as an addition or replacement in the event you lose Gara for some reason. I usually keep two of the pets I use. One as a tank and the other as a DPS, though I do not DPS as BM. So, I always grab a second before leaving. None are around to the north, south, or west ... but once again you can head to the east.

Along a little ridgeline there is a tree @ with a Vermisster Netherwolf hiding in the bush at the base. There is another a ways farther east, but I never went out there, afraid I would phase out.

If you are level 97, you have no problem training Gara, but when you go get the second before leaving you will have a problem. The Vermisster Netherwolf replacements are level 100 and you will not be able to tame them until you are level 100. I learned this the hard way ;-)

Tamed Gara today at level 99 with Barrage, Dire Beast and Murder of Crows. I was almost out of the buff timer and still hadn't gotten Xan to spawn. I had read the comments while waiting on spawns and had read that some people were getting them a lot sooner and had tried different things including letting Gara take the killing blow so I started tweeking. I had her take the final blow on a few pulls and nothing. I stopping using Dire Beast since I saw someone said their bodyguard seemed to of effected it, nothing. Stopped using Murder of Crows encase that counted too similar to the body guard, nothing. Finally i actually dismissed my own pet, didn't use any of the abilities above, made sure i used deterrence and feign death when needed and let Gara take the final blow, BAM he finally spawned and announced his appearance by yelling in my chat box and spawned slightly north of the tree.

I resummoned my pet, healed up, waited on my deterrence CD and started attacking Xan, at 10% i dismissed my pet and finished killing him off. Once he was gone, about 3-5seconds later Gara turned neutral and I could tame her. Avoiding the Vord Lords is fine, I only killed one of them my entire stay there so if you aren't level 100 the other mobs are way easier to kill and have a 5th of the Void Lord's hp, but there was only 3 or so of them near the tree and venturing to far away would take you out of the phased area so just stay near the tree and you should be fine. If you are level 100, you will probably get a faster spawn with Xan if you kill the Void Lords. They aren't hard to kill and have the same abilities as Xan, but they just take longer to kill due to their 1million hp and their stun is annoying.

Kommentar von Dinklewink

I think I may have finally figured it out.

I did the whole thing were I spent tons of time in the shadow realm, and xan never spawned. However, I switched to BM, dismissed my pet, and quit using any and all abilities that have dot's. Once I did that, I aggroed a Voidcaller, got it down low with arcane shot and cobra shot, taking great care not to apply any dot's. I feigned death when the Voidcaller got low and Gara got the kill.

As soon as I did that, Xan spawned.

Kommentar von vrriska

I just got Gara last night on my lvl 95 hunter, definitely a welcome change to rare tames.I would like to add that when I shifted into the Void Realm. The sheer moment of realizing you are being surrounded by imposing lvl100 elites is quite the experience! Plus knowing I'd be having taking a few of these down or trying too. Although I was up for it, that did not go as planned for some reason I was stupid lucky as Xan was already up! So I am not sure if he can spawn via timer or if another hunter had spawned him before and was not able to finish? I did not see any skele's or signs of anyone else there, plus It was pretty late but I hope maybe help add to the puzzle to Xan's spawning. Thanks all!

I thought I would put my account of this part of the quest in hopes it helps someone else.

I spent over an hour killing the 100 mobs in the void with no luck. I tried dismissing my pet and letting Gara get the kill. That didn't work for me. I tried killing as many as I could in a short amount of time. That didn't seem to work. I mostly tried just killing the Voidcallers since they were much easier and quicker to kill.

Then I noticed that there was kind of a circle of the mobs surounding the tree and never seemed to move around like the mobs further from the tree so I thought they might have something to do with getting Xan to spawn. I did get him to spawn after I started killing just theses mobs and he spawned after killing 4 of them. Now if that was just coincidence I do not know. I also never really bothered to interrupt the Voidlords stuff I think it's called Grip of the Void or something similar, for some reason I didn't think you would be able to. Once I killed one without getting stunned I got and instant spawn on Xan. The stuns are placed far enough apart so you should have no trouble interrupting all of them.

Hope this helps someone out! Good luck!

So I just tamed Gara after nearly an hour of frustration (Killing the voids!).
After reading a few posts on here I found that none of them seemed to work.
This whole quest has been about really thinking about the situation, so I figured, what would Blizzard expect a hunter to do?
That's when I thought about kiting the stupid voids, and the only thing that has real significance in that void realm was the tree.

Now I'm not sure if it was just luck, as Xan spawned the first time I tried it.
What I did was kite a void right on top of the tree, take my pet of passive and get it to tank it, then kill it there.
Poof, Xan spawned.
Only other thing I did was make sure to interrupt the void stun.

I hope this does help and good luck.

Kommentar von bonesoul

i farmed void's for more then half an hour with no chance. Then dismissed my exotic pet and summoned a basic one and killed another void and bam! Xan spawned!

Kommentar von Dephoegon

Is an easy EASY fight... even @ lvl 90-92, if not longer then some would like.

I used a hydra, in the tanky spec for more HP to tick & heal.
I stuck to the Voids with only 230K~ HP, to save time, and killed maybe 5 X.x (lucky I guess)
shadowmooon vale was not complete, & had overlapping quests and bonus fights.
Used only quest rewards & one found ring in the same zone. (was a fresh lvl 90, leveld to 92, because story quests & abilities)
Bandages... or healing items that can be used.
Shared heal bonding.

it was simple really, aggro, shoot, allow pet to pop in, and wail on it, and then get close enough for Gara to aggro, back up and lay into them one at a time, w/o moving. (the void creatures have !@#$ for aggro range, even @92), use mend & just dps down.
--Use Wyvern sting shot If you need to heal, or rez your pet & you need a breathing room.
---Use bandages/healing items while the void is 'stunned' sleeping & then finish them off.
----This works on Xan.. x.x Any hunter @90 should be able to withstand & fight with a correct level pet, for long enough for CDs lapse on bandages, & one wyvern sting shot last long enough to heal to full with the wod basic bandages X.x & material for them is easy enough to stock up on before hand. (heck, could even make a bandage or two while the sting was holding xan or voids HP & stun him, then heal)

the hardest part genuinely is getting the lantern .. as there is sneaky ways, to get to every other spot & a good mount will outrun most spots so long as you stick to the right roads.
(I died scummed a few times to get to the right flight point, and used help to murder the voidtwisters >.> they just seem to hit like trucks & come in packs. even see a lvl 100 warrior get beat up some. with a simple pack or two.

Once you get the lantern you've got it made, just stock up on bandages and get repaired before hand, and the voids & Xan aren't any real threat.

Xan now has a much larger health pool and (at least for me) despawns halfway through the fight. Seems to be a new bug but it can be replicated as the same thing happened to me three times in a row.

Kommentar von 1170496

Just my two 30 minute cents on the matter; tried with pet, without pet, gara kill, no gara kill, close, far, pretty much every aspect of "tricks" suggested. No change, killed 4 with each variation.

It's just a matter of persistance by all i've seen, finally it spawned when two other hunters were there at the same time killing stuff so it went faster.

Keep at it folks ;)

Kommentar von deathxelf

Im not sure if its just me being lucky, but both when i got my own gara and helped a friend, xan spawned after the first elite we killed, maybe a stealthbuff in 7.3.5?

Kommentar von Kurias

His health and level now scale with yours. It still,took a longish time to kill him but he was a level 92 elite instead of being a level 100 elite. The same was true for the other 2 mobs you have to kill in order to summon him.

Kommentar von Sinvanor

Finally got Gara as a Level 102 beast master hunter I spent around 30 minutes trying to get this guy to spawn. Killed so many Voidlords and Voidcallers, nothing. Looked up as much I could on it, saw someone mention Gara needing to participate. Ran straight up to a Voidcaller with my pet. Nothing again. Dismissed my pet and let Gara attack and get last hit on another Elder Voidcaller, then Xan finally spawned. Resummon pet and took him down.
I also did get a message in the chat in red writting that Xan spawned.
He was also easier than Elder Voidlords. He died quickly, then I immediately dismissed my pet again and tamed Gara.

So, if you are having trouble getting him to spawn, dismiss your pet, attack the easier Voidcaller and let Gara get last hit.

I think the point of the story is to have Gara in spirit form help you release her again, so it makes sense that she needs to participate.
I made the mistake constantly of keeping my distance and Gara wouldn't even attack until a Voidlord drew me in.

Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von vyndrian

Good thing I remembered how to use Deterrence to prevent Xan from killing me, even though I've not been able to use Deterrence for several years at this point!

98% refer current and future Hunters to the step-by-step guide posted under Gara by Niecho (in 2020 even!). The only updates are:

FROSTFIRE RIDGE: Riesentöter der Donnerfürsten is a single huge NPC patrolling in a gully just down the side of a small mountain. He patrols around into a cave where there is a fire (inside the skeleton's mouth).

"GO TO FLIGHT PATH @ AKEETA'S HOVEL IN SHADOWMOON VALLEY - HEAD NORTHEAST AND ENTER SHADOWMOON FROM HERE"
= should read as: "TAKE FLIGHT PATH TO AKEETA'S HOVEL IN SHADOWMOON VALLEY - HEAD SOUTHEAST AND ENTER SHADOWMOON VALLEY FROM HERE"
(if you follow the OP directions you might assume you enter the SM Burial Grounds dungeon, do NOT enter dungeon area at all)

The Leerenlaterne places a 1-hour void aura on you called Leerenlaterne similar to a shadow priest. You can loot only one (1), but once you use Leerenklinge des Schattenmondklans at the Great Tree Valuundira you can go back and kill another Leerenverzerrer des Schattenmondklans to loot another Leerenlaterne (that you can take in dungeons/raids and look oh so snazzy!).

NOTE: You can only seem to tame one (1) Gara spirit beast, but you can tame unlimited Vermisster Netherwolfs IN THE SAME VOID INSTANCE. In other words, tame Gara, then ride/fly NORTH to /way 65 37 and you'll find a single Vermisster Netherwolf snoozing under a small tree.

Tame Vermisster Netherwolf, wait a minute or so and another Vermisster Netherwolf will respawn. Tame all you like, or just stick with the two already tamed.

Fun fact: A tamed Vermisster Netherwolf does NOT keep its name, BUT its name changes to a kewl "Spirit Beast" instead. A spirit beast named Spirit Beast. Enjoy!

NOTE 2: In Dragonflight era, most mid+ level Hunters can 1-shot Xan w/o needing pets up. Take your 1-2 and then have slots to tame 2-4 more spirit beasts if you like. Xan spawned maybe 30 yards north of the void dagger tree you start at. So once you kill Xan, tame Gara, then go straight north to tame Vermisster Netherwolf.
