It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...

Kommentar von Sythium

In Beta, the quest rewards 13g 23s at level 80.

Kommentar von Ambrosius

Cords are 44.3, 21.5 - floating at the top of The Shadow Vault. Baron Silver can be found at 44.2, 24,7 just beside.

Kommentar von 87017

A classic homage to the Eye of Sauron :)

As for beating the eye, it currently has major trouble tracking targets that are slightly above it. Which is to say it tries to shoot in a horizontal direction, but if you are above it it will miss you completely. Could be a failure of the AI to track targets, or could be that the Lich King didn't need it to track the sky and so it has no ability to look up. In any case, the quest is hard to complete if you stay low, and ridiculously easy if you stay high.

Kommentar von ZaftAlthaus

You now have to be very close to it to do damage, which isn't good, because its hp is MUCH higher than yours.

The good part? It doesn't restore HP.

The easiest way to go about this is go up, shoot it, go down, wait for cooldown, up, shoot it, etc etc. When you get low on health, land, bandage, eat, whatever, and then just repeat. You can go afk to take a tinkle if you want, it doesn't matter -- its HP stays the same.

Or of course you could just get more than one person and pew pew it to hell.

Kommentar von Orden

Quest seems bugged atm, I killed him 2x, then disbanded & accepted again... killed him again, still nothing...

Kommentar von Psight

The coords are correct (44,21), and its not bugged.. Stay at max range(80y) shoot it down to 10%, then move forward to let it hit you, and BLAM kill it! Q complete!

Kommentar von 132997

Be sure you turn Off 'Auto Dismount in Flight' in your Interface options before doing this quest. Otherwise you will dismount in flight when using the quest item.

I cant find find Thassarian nowhere, even on the flying ship. I checked every position in Icecrown and he is nowhere, i lost about 17 hours just to find him... If u can post movie or something that can help me find him i will be insanely happy. Dont tell me i dont have the eyes or something, to confirm my words i will upload on youtube movie that he is not on that position as he should be.

Kommentar von egarland

The Blaster has a bigger range than the eye but if you kill it while it cant hurt you you don't get credit.

Sit at max range and dps it down to about 10%.

Get close and fire one last time and you should complete the quest.

Kommentar von 97618

Very fun quest to do when 10 other people are tagging it the same time.

Kommentar von 171525

You need to have a Flying Mount and Cold Weather Training in order to get this quest, because it is given in the floating plane plateform, high in the sky.

This quest is necessary to do in order to buy the Tabard of the Ebon Blade from the Ebon Blade quartermaster at The Shadow Vault.

To put it simply, you need a flying mount to get this quest and the Tabard.

Kommentar von 61487

This quest line opens Shadow Vault as an area, where you get a new fp, inn and mail box.
New quests which give Ebon Hold rep too.

Kommentar von Fukar

Update 11.12.08 Blaster has bigger range than The Ocular, but this in NOT true "When you get low on health, land, bandage, eat, whatever, and then just repeat. You can go afk to take a tinkle if you want, it doesn't matter -- its HP stays the same."
I´ve shoot it down to 40%, land and bandage myself for short period, max 30sec...fly above again and the eye has full health...

Kommentar von ackros

I found this from the quest giver on zarsu landing in dalaran at 77, and im undead warlock.

the little hellicopter brings u on a tour and lands on a sky ship. from there u can pick up 3or 4 quests.

then hope on your winged mount and fly over to the shadow vault.

its up on top of it

fly in below it til you are able to start shooting and when last HP is left, move closer so it can hit you, turn on cast bars to show you its trying.

now continue to fire till its dead

Kommentar von 287966

this quest is glitched. i destroyed the ocular but did not get credit for it beacause i wasn't close enough. i have picked it up and abandoned 4 times now. the ocular will not reset.

Kommentar von morituri

I just did it following some of the hints above. It is totally true that the Blaster has more range than the Ocular.

If you put the Blaster in the action bar, its icon will show the red dot, meaning you are out of range. So, from far away, click on the Ocular and then get closer, slowly, till red dot on Blaster icon changes to white (or light gray). Carefull here now, it's very easy to be on Ocular's range. Once you get the right (safe) range, you can use the Blaster (dam I wish I had one of those blasters all the time).

Watch the amount of damage in the Ocular's life bar, so you can calculate the moment when you only need 1 last shot. That's gonna (visually) be, around 5% of the total Ocular's health, more or less. When that moment comes, get inside the Ocular's range and shoot the last Blaster shot.

Worked like a charm for me. Good lucks, happy blasting...

Kommentar von 309394

The bug has been fixed! I made sure that I was just BARELY within range of the Blaster, and I was taking damage. It didn't matter whether I was above it, even with it, or below it. If I was within range of the Blaster, I took damage.

Fortunately, the "bug" that allows you to land (nearby at least) and eat / drink without the Ocular regaining its HP hasn't been fixed.

So, what you do now is take it down as far as you dare, land so you can eat, continue this pattern as needed, and finish the quest.

The one thing I DID do, after reading the comments here, was to make sure that I was WELL within its range (my griff's beak coulda put its eye out, I was that close) before taking the last shot.

Kommentar von 211100

People, please stop just posting comments without looking at previous entry's. the quest is NOT bugged, and if you don't get credit you probably weren't in combat. So please stop posting "oh it's bugged, i can't kill it" and look at the posts.

To gremling: You just did what i told you not to do.

Kommentar von LunarEclipse

Is it just me.. or when looking at The Ocular, did anyone else start thinking "Eye of Sauron"? You know.. aside from The Ocular being blue-ish XD

edit:
... and as soon as I posted, I read over a comment that already had that... sorry Anenome ><

Kommentar von 322569

As a Druid this quest was a cake for me.

You can use the Eyesore Blaster in Flight Form, and you will be near enough to get the credit for it.
You do have to heal yourself though, so use Lifeblood.
You may also shapeshift and HoT yourself when falling as you WILL LEAVE COMBAT,
so shapeshifting into Flight Form again works just fine.

Kommentar von JcaL

any idea why this is not working for me? My Eyesore Blaster is never usable? even when im in range and in combat with The Ocular it tells me im too far away? I dont understand, it didnt do this with my main:/

Kommentar von 321608

The reason is they have reduced the range the eyesore blaster works so you can't stay out of range and do this any longer, this is my 4th character that has done this quest and I can confirm it has been changed. The HP of the eye doesnt regen so you can can fly down regain HP and then continue. Just takes a bit longer than before :)

I did manage to do this on my warrior without having to fly down and reagin HP it was hitting me for around 690 the CD of the deathly stare that hits you is roughly on a par with your eyesore blaster, characters with large HP pools will be able to just stay and nuke others will need to drop down and heal.

Kommentar von 44517

Initially I had no success as I was using the Jumbo seaforium charge
So I read the posts here.

Well as a mage with 12.5k health I flew up in range at the same level and took damage intending to fly away to heal then return and finish it off.

To my delight I killed it, losing only 8k health, so I'm wondering why the need for tactics?

Get there fast
face it
attack it,
note how much it hits you for each turn,
and be prepared to run when down to 4 times that as it hits you 2-3 times as you leave as I discovered when using the wrong bomb.

Kommentar von 303387

wtf guys? it hitted me even when my blaster was off range!(at least 5 yards offrange)
:S

Kommentar von ipara

Just finished the quest... You no longer are able to use your weapon above the eye, I put it in my toolbar and it never turned white/gray unless the eye itself was attacking me. This also applied to the range as I could not fire on the eye unless it also fired at me... What I did was attack it until I was low on health and then flew above it and sat there while I regained my health. I then flew back in and finished the quest, no problem. The eye once damaged does not regain it's health...

Kommentar von matttrick

just hit, move out of range, move back in to hit, go out of range, etc. until the last couple hits, just sit there then and finish it.

Kommentar von jmichels

An easier way to kill the Ocular is to side step whenever you see it casting death stare at you. The blaster will continue to channel even while moving. You can move and attack faster then the eye can track you. Note I was on an epic flyer, I am not sure if the slower flyers will side step fast enough.
I ended up doing this before reading any of the posts here and found it very easy to kill the eye this way. This is on version 3.0.8

Kommentar von 346283

Does this remind anyone else of Lord of the Rings lol?

Kommentar von 29671

I submitted a screen shot. It may not be bugged for some people, but that doesn't mean it isn't bugged. That is the nature of a bug, for those not in the software business :) Now, that said, I don't have range issues, I can't get the eye (on several separate visits) to reset its HP, its always at 1HP and it doesn't seem to change no matter how I engage it. And with THAT said, 1 blast from the laser doesn't kill it with the 1HP, either. What's a DK to do? /sigh No, its not bugged, cause it worked for everyone else.

Kommentar von 22661

confirmed if it bugs out at 1 health just attack it in any way and you kill it and get credit

Kommentar von 309038

Was bugged for me, above instructions worked :)

Kommentar von 26545

Still bugged. As a Druid, all I did was fly above it in Flight Form, shift to caster, then Moonfired it once as I fell through. This was enough to take off the last 1HP and grant me the kill. Once he's dead, you're out of combat, and you can switch right back to Flight Form. Much easier than trying to find somewhere to land.

Kommentar von 304583

Which quests do you need to have done before this one will open up?

Kommentar von 303387

it attacked me even when blaster was off range...

Kommentar von Negisensei

Just Shoot It

Kommentar von krawler

As of 3.2, the blasters range is the same as the eyes "deathly stare".

Just blast away, the eye only does 800hp to a failgeared 78 DK so you can blast the eye dead well before you lose even half your hp.

Kommentar von 421112

it's all fun and games till i lose the game ><

Kommentar von Rasmus0909

Stay sharp everyone! It has an Evil stare

Kommentar von shadowspa

Its not only a reference to the Eye of Sauron(ofc,like all of Mordo...ehh Icecrown,its a reference to LotR.)

C'thun used to say:''It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.'' when you killed his eye,but for some reason it's been removed.

2 references in 1 FTW :P

Kommentar von Shamora

the eye as of 3.2.2 shoots its deathly stare (or watchamacallit) whether you're above or below it, ie in 360 degrees.

also have lightheaded and tomtom's waypoints installed, so the waypoint arrow showed a blaster range of 130 yards to turn grey, whereas the eye is still shooting me up till 140-150 yards!

fortunately, you can still land on the space below, just out of range and heal. the eye still doesn't regain hp. had to bandage twice (yes, bad gear). the only thing i worried about was someone else coming in to finish the job and that i'd have to start over!

bad blizzard!

Kommentar von 128534

I'm sorry but it looks like a giant vag1na to me

Kommentar von 452994

Just did it, the deathly stare now outranges the blaster, and it can shoot well above and below the horizon.

It still does not regain health, so you can land, regain health and repeat.

Kommentar von 537439

Where do you pick up the quest to go see Baron Silver?

Kommentar von 52261

I don't know why everyone has been using these weird strats. I just went in and blasted it down and it died before I did.

Kommentar von maimkillburn

To get this quest fly to the boat hovering over Icecrown, talk to Koltira Deathweaver and he'll give you the quest "It's all fun and games".
From there just return the quest to Baron Sliver at the bottom of the tower once you've killed the eye and start the chain to unlock the vault and get the Knights of the Ebon Blade Tabard.
Here is the chain.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

co ords 44 , 22 atop the spire item given is usable in flight

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not sure what the problem is that others are having, but I'm also not getting their 'glitch' (shoot him while out of range). I had no problem. I had to get close enough for him to hit me so I could hit him at all. Eyeball thing kept hitting me with a 'Deadly Stare' or some-such. Didn't take long to figure out that my leather-armor-wearing NE Druid would win the numbers match and it would die first, but it was close. I was taking it for just a little more that it was getting me until it died. Afterward, I flew up high, popped into elf-form, in free-fall I hit rejuvenation, then popped back into swift flight form (Armored Stormcrow) before going splat. I had on no spells or buffs or anything else when I ran into eyeball and just went for it and won. It even got in first strike. Maybe they fixed it. I'm patch 3.something (just went to battle dot net, November 2009). Coords still correct. 44.22

Yiaee, Silver Hand Realm! :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After dying twice, I finally decided that apparently they WANT you to 'exploit' this quest. You must fire the blaster from extreme range, or you'll take ~685 shadow damage at a rate of 4-6x faster than you can shoot. Sorry, but I'm used to thinking "if I can attack it and it can't attack me, that's an exploit". Apparently this quest it's part if the design.

However, you DO have to be within its combat range to get credit for the kill. At least in my experience.

So stay out of range for the first 9 shots, then move in and kill for credit. Quest finisher is on the ledge immediately below/southeast of the Ocular.

Mount up and fly to the big blue elite eyeball at the top of the Shadow Vault tower (top left of map at 44, 21.) Target the eye, then use the Eyesore Blaster in your inventory (it can be used while mounted) to shoot the eye repeatedly until dead. Then fly down to Baron Silver at ground level next to the tower entrance at 44, 24 to turn in.

Der erste Schritt ist, den Lichkönig zu blenden. Er nutzt ein Gerät namens Okular, das über den Türmen des Gewölbes schwebt, um das Gebiet zu überwachen.

Unsere Zwerge haben etwas geschaffen, das sich dagegen einsetzen lässt. Wenn das 'Auge' zerstört ist, findet Baron Splitter auf dem Gelände des Gewölbes. Er wird so tun, als stünde er noch immer unter der Kontrolle des Lichkönigs.
