A Final Blow

Kill Moora and Salia, and bring Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head to Greta Mosshoof in Felwood.
  •  
Moora slain
  •  
Salia slain
Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head

Description

Unfortunately, I see the only way to stop this threat to Felwood is a frontal attack. There are no other ways into Shadow Hold, and I have no means to teleport you inside. The straight path down to the bottom is the only way... and I also know who you should seek out. His name is Fel'dan... Shadow Lord Fel'dan. He is the mortal in power down below... he is the head of the serpent. Kill him and his two succubus servants and return to me. Fel'dan is the one making pacts with the Legion. He must be stopped.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Brantwood Sash
Blight Leather Gloves
Gearforge Girdle

Progress

Without Fel'dan, the Shadow Council will hopefully lose focus and start infighting. They will struggle with one another for control and hoard assets for future plans. That will be an opportune time to devastate them and their demon slaves.

Completion

Earthmother be praised, <name>! Thank you! This is a great day, indeed!

The Shadow Council will be hard pressed to scale to the same levels of power they once held with this blow to their hierarchy. You have done a great thing this day!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 930 experience (55 80 at max. level)

Bring some help unless over leveled, they are in the very back of Shadow Hold and must be defeated together.

Just did this with two shamans, level 57 and 53. It was very easy. Clear all the nearby mobs to prevent adds, then pile on Lord Fel'dan. If you have any spell interrupt abilities, use them as he starts to cast. He didn't seem to have much health. The two succubi only used melee attacks the entire fight, so with some quick healing and focusing on one at a time, they went down as fast as their lord.

Another note: they are not at the very back of Shadow Hold. Lord Banehollow, a level 59 elite demon, is at the very back. These three spawn earlier, in front of a two-sided ramp that leads into a larger area. We missed them the first time around because another party doing one leg of the Warlock epic mount quest had swept through earlier and the three mobs had not respawned. We looked around until we found Lord Banehollow, then started backtracking. By the time we came back to the ramp, the three mobs we needed had respawned (along with everything else nearby). Had we known to stay in that room, we could have had an even easier time of it, killing each mob as it spawned, rather than taking all three at once.

Here's how I went about this relatively simple, time consuming but rewarding quest:

Make sure you have this and the quest to gather Trey's remains (You need to free the night elf from the cage from a random key drop. All the braziers can be extinguished during the run to get her gear, plus she can do some mild damage to any mobs giving you trouble. Once you've freed her and put out the fires, you'll get the two quests.)

At level 57, Shadow Hold is a push-over. Almost every mob, except for the larger Demons, are green. If you're a melee class, you'll cut through these guys like butter. Casters might want to take it slow and make sure your mana is full enough, and rogues or druids (cat form) can most likely stealth to the very bottom.

Start by clearing down to the place where the night elf captive found her gear. There will be five or so ooze creatures seperating the second half of the ""dungeon"". They are immune to nature damage, so druids and shamans (like I was) take caution.

After the ooze, you'll find more of the same casters and sword/shield mobs you fought earlier. If you can, hug the right wall and attack anything that attacks you. Otherwise, just slice through them until you reach a narrow tunnel.

Inside here you'll find the Succubus you need to kill for the Trey's remains quest. She can be pulled alone, and when she dies, a yellow ? will appear above the naked human on the altar. Pull the 4 casters, kill them and finish that quest.

Continue along down the route and a couple of mobs later you'll end up at Fel'dan and his guards. Clear the mobs nearby, and focus your efforts on Fel'dan. He should fall very easy if he's of yellow quest coloring to you. The two Succubus guards hit slow and not very hard at that. They cast a mind control spell, so be careful. They're levels 52 and 54, posing very little threat. Kill them, loot the head off Fel'dan, and either hearth out or start cutting your way back through. (I tried to just run out. ...didn't work.)

Best of luck!

This quest is quite easy... I managed it as a level 53 demonology speced warlock. Was doing the extinguish flame quest, went through the dungeon, cleared the succubus before and these 3, then realised that this is part of the quest after the one i was clearing. So... I had to clear it again ._.

Overall if you're a warlock, get felguard and it should be a piece of cake. Banish the level 54 succubus, focus fire on the shadow lord, then kill the level 54 succubus after shes got out of her banish then clear the level 52 succubus. Make sure u clear the surroundings to prevent adds, and fear helps abit. Be careful though, the succubus can charm you to make u attack ur pet for about 5 seconds.

A strange glitch happened when I engaged Fel'dan's party with my 56 mage. I polymorphed Fel'dan and took out his two succubi. However, the polymorph broke early, except that Fel'dan http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7841/wowscrnshot030808022456tm3.jpg stayed a sheep. So out of nowhere I'm having shadowbolts fired at me by this little sheep. It was very odd, and I didn't notice it until I was almost dead.

Take note, at least one of the Succubi can mind control. If you have a lot of DoT's on a target (I'm a 54 Affliction Lock), and one of the Succubi dies while you are mind controlled, you will not get credit for the kill. This happened to me and I had to wait a year and a half on the slow respawn just so i could kill one of them over.

A warlock can banish one add, seduce the main guy, and fear the 2nd demon while dotting and killing her. Switch fear to the next target you want to kill, and so on.

You could in theory kill all 3 mobs without taking a single hit (barring unlucky fear or seduce breaks).

If someone has killed them before you, and you are not too high level, it really is worth it to wait around for the respawn. The adds will then likely spawn one by one, with enough time in between to kill one before the next one spawns.

I just soloed this on my level 53 frost mage. I put up my ice barrier and then used my water elemental to start the attack against Shadow Lord Fel'dan; meanwhile, Moora and Salia came straight out at the elemental (like I hoped) and attacked. I spammed frostbolt at Fel'dan until he was dead but a few seconds later my water elemental also died.

Moora and Salia then focused on me as I hit them with a frost nova and then blizzard. After the frost nova broke, I hit them with cone of cold and arcane blast; Moora died almost immediately while Salia took a bit more effort to put down because she self-healed at one point (I don't know her tricks but she lashed me and pulled me to her, preventing me from acting in any way for about 8 seconds or so). I had to pot once (and use mana shield) so I could put Salia down but in the end patience and concentration paid off.

Definitely a challenge at my level but I'm pleased I was able to put down a level 57, 54 and 53 in one sitting.

I thought this was going to be a challenging solo as a 54 disc/shadow priest. I was wrong. The fight took about 40 seconds and I ended with half mana and full HP. No fear, no inner focus, just Holy Fire, PW:S, SW:P, DP, and mind flays. I laughed at the end.

Can't help myself but every time I do this quest I recall Archbishop Lazarus quest from original http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_(video_game) Diablo. May be it's just pro to have two succubus at your side if you practice some sort of black magic, but there you basically observed the same picture.

When you encountered Archbishop Lazarus (unique moster) he was standing near sacrificial altar with a body on it and two succubus (one black and one red, unique too) were in the same room, close to him. At first it was quite shocking to see three unique mosters at once standing near each other. Unique mobs and items were very very rare and special, you were guaranteed to encounter them while doing quests, but the quests themselves -- except two and unlike the quests from Diablo II -- were random and you couldn't see them all playing one char. ""Archbishop Lazarus"" and Diablo"" were the ones required to complete the game.

I bet every Diablo fan got this a second they entered the room, but for those who never played this great rpg (it was released at the end of 1996 and I play it even now) here's one more reference from Blizzard to one of its games.

After attempting this quest on my 51 demo lock I cannot stress how much of pain in the rear this is mainly because it is umbelievably time consuming due to the fact that your objective is located very deep in the cave.

If you obtain this at level 51, I'd advise you skip it and do it when you're a few levels higher and if you don't have an afternoon to waste dying over and over again. Besides, at level 51 you'll more than likely have a better belt than what the quest rewards you anyway.

UPDATE:

Okay, so I get caught up doing other quests in Western &amp; Eastern Plaguelands, Un'goro Crater and Felwood, so by the time I remember to come back to do this quest I'm at level 56 and things should be much easier now, right? Not so fast...

Well, they were for the most part except for the fact that after Fel'dan died (I watched my felguard finish him off and then come back to help me with his adds)...his body disappeared no more than 10 seconds after he died!

So, I ended up having to kill Fel'dan a second time (respawn wasn't too long, maybe 5 minutes or so) but this time around I made damn sure I was right next to him to loot him as soon he died. Thanks for the memories, Blizzard...I hope someone answers my ticket on this one and explains why Fel'dan vanished so quickly.

Warlock Hints; both the succubus minions on this quest are susceptible to banish and enslave, I enslaved the level 54 minion, banished the level 52 and was able to take out Lord Fel'Dan with no problem. I then had the enslaved minion kill the other one, and all the other demons in the room for my own amusement LOL! As the enslave spell began to wear off, I switch her command to stay, not that it matters as when it finally wore off she returned to her spot up front where I used Soul Fire and my DOT's to finish her off, not that difficult. Easily soloed at recommended level, probably could have done it two or three levels prior but this quest was made to seem extremely difficult in previous posts so I held off.

I found the quest easy enough, but a good reminder - be sure to loot the head off of Shadow Lord Fel 'dan right away. He disappears quickly so if you pause to mana up or throw on a heal, you might miss getting his head and you'll have to wait the 15 or so minutes for the respawn. Ask me how I know....:-D

Soloed as a 52 BM hunter and without buying the new skills from lvl 50. Made my way to the room where Lord Fel'Dan was, eliminated the 2 warlocks that where on the way.

Marked Lord Fel'Dan and freezed Salia with Frost Trap to prevent the casting of Cause insanity. Killed Lord Fel'dan as quickly as we came, then moora, then intimidated and pummel salia, AND finally killing the 3 of them.

It's too easy as a lvl 53 Rogue (Subtlety). First Distract all of them, Sap the Shadow Lord Fel'dan, Start ur fight with Moora and Gouge Salia, after end the time of Gouge use Evasion, Preparation, Evasion. Now u slay Moora and Salia. Time to Shadow Lord Fel'dan, Blind &amp; First Aid ur self. Kill the Lord too. if u cant, u can Vanish, eat Food and Start again fight with Lord.

Soloed as 53 level Assassination rogue together with Retribution of the Light. Sapped Fel'dan and then opened on Salia with Cheap Shot and immediately blinded Moora. Because of my spec, I was able to kill her before Kidney Shot's effect has faded, then did the same with Moora. Just killed her and Sap effect faded from Fel'dan. Immediate Gouge + bandadge raised my health to 100% and killed him with a couple of Mutilates.

If you're a rogue, you can sap the head guy, then take out his two guards. Attack him last, I completed this @ level 57 alone, you might be able to do this at 56. Bring a good healing potion or strengthening if lower than that.
