Great Quest but to be Lvl-30 and complete is going to be a challenge without help. Eliza spawns and after a few hits she summons 3 guards to help her. I've Killed Eliza and NOT all of the guards. I drew them off and went in to get the drop. could not loot until all guards were dead too. Had 2 other help and it made it seem simple.

The bride is located at 28.30, right behind Abercrombie's shack. It's a tough solo, but you can DPS the embalmer and let the adds kill you, and loot after you rez (the adds will be gone).

As a level 33 shadow priest, I believe it's possible to solo Eliza. I (as a level 33 shadow priest) was able to bring her to around 80% health, before a random Shaman jumped in to help and finish her off. But, to be honest, I did not need any help.

Here is the synopsis of the strategy I used:
1) Run a little distance from grave after opening.
2) Shackle Eliza.
3) Mind blast Eliza.
4) repeat step 2

Here is the strategy in a little more detail.

As many people have already mentioned above, Eliza does two things: She will cast frostbolt / frostnova and during the encounter she will summon three undead guardians, whom I believe are level 29.

Because she will try to frostbolt you when you are out of melee range, the basic idea of my strategy was to cast a direct damage spell on her, then immediately shackle her before she can finish casting frostbolt.

The shackling has the affects of interrupting her spell casting, allowing you some time to regenerate mana, and preventing her from summoning her undead friends.

That's basically all there is to it. When she's shackled, she can't summon her friends. When she's casting frostbolt, she can't summon her friends.

A few things to note. You want to cast a quick damage spell, like mind blast or smite. If you mind flay, you will probably not have the time to shackle her before her frostbolt finishes casting. You also don't want to use a spell like Shadow Word: Pain, for obvious reasons (You are using shackle!). You also probably want to wait for the ""Five Second Rule"" http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Mana_Regen#Five_Second_Rule http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Mana_Regen#Five_Second_Rule to fade so that you regenerate some mana. Else, if you decide to spam shackle / mind blast, you run the risk of running out of mana.

Good luck.

I soloed this as a 28 shadow priest by using the terrain -- specifically, by jumping from the nearby cart onto Abercrombie's shack as soon as I opened the grave. Once you're on that building, the adds will completely ignore you, and it's just a shooting match with Eliza. After she was dead, the adds despawned within about ten seconds.

okay this sounds stupid but my friend did it..

when you kill eliza and the guards, DON'T jokingly stand IN her grave. it will trap you and prevent you from moving, then you'd have to kill her all over again

post-patch 2.3 ... only 1 helper spawns. easy as lvl 33 holy priest. Fight her till helper spawns. shakle one, kill the other, kill the remaining one.

This is Quest Chain:

1. The Hermit
2. Supplies from Darkshire
3. Ghost Hair Thread
4. Return the Comb
5. Deliver the Thread
6. Zombie Juice
7. Gather Rot Blossoms
8. Juice Delivery
9. Ghoulish Effigy
10. Ogre Thieves
11. Note to the Mayor
12. Translate Abercrombie's Note
13. Wait for Sirra to Finish
14. Translation to Ello
15. Bride of the Embalmer

Solo'd as a 80 ret pally. Can be tricky because she attacks. If you're having problems, try right clicking her.

You would think that, being so close to the grave, that the Embalmer would hear you opening the coffin and attempt to stop you himself...

The only thing in WoW which has the word ""bosom"" in it

And yes, I do search these kinds of things
