Nice guide!

Comment by bpala041

So I am attempting this on my rogue ilvl 517 and I can't get past the second boss. When he does his brutal strike or whatever it hits me for over 500k in one shot. Is there a way to avoid this? Like if I run out of his hit box? if not then I think it will literally be impossible for me to solo this dungeon...

Comment by rhomsarama

Any suggestions on how to solo this as a level 90 Frost DK? Should I change specs?

Man I wish I would have read this guide beforehand. I just went in blind. My ilvl is 519 and I can handle it pretty well a couple of the bosses give me trouble, particularly Halazzi. Unfortunately I didn't make the timer today but hopefully with this guide I'll have my new mount tomorrow! Thank you!

Excellent guide, thank you! Finished first go following this.

Comment by mattous

Great guide thank you. Just did this on my 90 hunter, my item level is a lot lower than suggested 540 (currently 511) but it wasn't too challenging (had one failed attempt).

Hunter specific things that might help to keep trash off you and on your pet. While keeping your pet alive!

Did this on my 520 ilvl BM Hunter, it was damn easy.

Great guide.

Comment by Ancalon

Quick comment about the ilvl requirement:
I did it today with my 506 ilvl retribution paladin. Was quite easy and when I finished the achievement I had still 15min left on the clock. Maybe the stat squish comes in handy here...

Thank you very much for the great and detailed guide! Was my first time in Zul'Aman and got the achievement first try :)

Easiest thing to do is grab a friend and burst through it. A friend and I finished the whole thing with 22 mins remaining.

Thank you so much for your guide. Knocked it out on first try during Warlords as a 100 Frost Mage. Just rode mount through all mobs, not caring. Spammed aoe in front of boss to kill adds each time. Downed bosses in most cases before they could even close to me. Easy peasy. Thanks!

Comment by Burud

Remember the prisoner folks! I did'nt read triough the guide, And this one is easy @ lvl 100.

Comment by Schlange

It helped me a lot. The maps and descriptions of where the prisoners were was great. In addition to the achievements for doing the dungeon and getting the bear mount I also got Tunnel Vision and Ring Out. Thank you!

Comment by Gnorma

Playing Alliance (ilv 646 warrior) but can't seem to enter instance. I took flight path(s) from Stormwind via Quel Danas to front door of Zul but when I get to entrance, it won't load. Not sure if this is a bug or if something else is going on? Any help would be much appreciated.

Comment by stathisdjs

It should be noted that Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub are both available only on heroic.

Awesome guide! Went through the first time and couldn't find the bag...... I didn't realize you had to do it in the timer! And even if you have done the achievement before, you CAN do the requirements again and the bag will appear again (if you miss it the first time, it's hard to notice unless you know what to look for and where to look).

Comment by 1735888

Still a great guide. I tried this once with no prep just to see if I could do it, ran the wrong way and ran out of time. Read this guide and finished with 16 minutes to spare.

Comment by Coolmama

Thanks a lot! Now I finally have the achievement (and the bear) with 10 minutes left on the timer

Comment by AskMoo

Nice guide, but one thing needs to be emphasized:

Before you free Kasha, be sure to free all the other prisoners first!

If you don't, she will simply thank you and despawn.

Comment by randommerryman

One of the best step-by-step guides I've seen on this site - a lot of work's gone into it, and the result is clear, easy to follow and useful. Many thanks.

Comment by pinksad

Still available in BFA, I was really bummed that I missed my guild's final bear run in BC.
At 120 the whole thing took about 10-15 minutes from zone in to zone out.
