Provided Item:
Fel Fire

Description

Kroshius lays in a heap to the northeast, in the Shatter Scar Vale. Take this Fel fire and use it on his remains. The fire should reanimate the fallen infernal.

At this point, I fully expect him to kill you and any friends that you may have brought along - and trust me, you will want to bring along some friends.

If by some miracle you happen to kill Kroshius, take his infernal core and return it to Niby.

The Remains of Kroshius - (45, 35)

Soloable at 60 or thereabouts. The key to killing him is that he's Fearable, so you can mostly just wait 'till he's risen, Fear him, DoT him up, then send your pet after him. He spawns in a nice, isolated bit of Felwood, so you almost certainly won't have any problems with adds from the craters. Make sure you keep an eye on him in case Fear breaks early. Keep a Health and SoulStone up, just in case, and if all else fails, banish'n'bandage.

This quest is easily soloable at 50-53. Be careful, and be patient on this kill:

There are two key spells you will need on this one: Curse of Agony and Fear. I suggest using your imp for the stamina buff, for you might need extra mana via lifetap later if you wish to use corruption as well.

Start the fight, do NOT attack with your imp. Cast fear first, followed by curse of agony, and corruption if you wish. Kroshius is immune to fire spells, so no immolate. Apply Curse of agony and fear as necessary, and when he is at about 10 percent, feel free to nuke him at will.
This fight can take up to 10 minutes, so be sure to remain patient.
When kroshius dies, return to Impsy, and be prepared for a glorius suprise that will be a thing to remember =D

To answer my own question:

Discarding and then getting the quest again is the only way I have found to get your Fel Fire back.

I am a 52 full spec demonologist, and I tried every strategy there is here so that I could solo it. Eventually my best strategy became to call on three of my guildies to come and help. We took him down on the first fight. But I ended up dying about 12 times trying out all these strategies... was it worth it.. HELL YES!

Oh and fire spells do affect him!

Solo'd as lv.51 Affliction Warlock with Imp (Had to re-spec. from my PvP favourite Dest.) Took around 7/8 attempts due to resists. Used 4 bandages and 2 healthstones in the end, Defiler's Talisman also came in handy when fear resisted.

Start with Fear then CoA, then Corruption. Keep fearing at around 50% of duration of current fear just to be sure, plus Dark Pact when needed. I had to spam the instant casts due to resists. If it all goes wrong keep Death Coil at the ready and then spam fear right after that > once you get your distance again check your DoTs and reapply if needed - then check mana, then check distance - just repeat and with a little luck you should be fine.

He had me down to less than 10% health each time I used a bandage. Make sure you bandage immediately after the fear lands, or potion + HS if you panic. :) Don't use mana potions, save potion cooldown for the health potion + HS combo.

Keep your range also (I had my spells down the right actionbar in order to keep track of the red dots) Luckily at 50% he got jammed slightly behind a tree after running up the side wall so distance was easy to track. As long as you keep your distance you won't get beat down, concentrate about landing DoTs after you feel safe enough to fit them in.

After I completed this quest Niby summoned something he wanted to be an infernal. What he got was El Pollo Grande, a ""Black chicken of death"", quoting from it's description. It was a giant chicken that attacked me, only a level 50 so it was nothing serious. That event was actually quite amusing.

As of patch 2.3, this information is now largely irrelevant. However, this tactic, while excessive, still works, so I'll leave it be. Simply know that there are far easier ways to kill Kroshius, like walking up to him and poking him with your dagger. (Okay, so he wasn't nerfed that badly. You get the point.)

Actually, they can, indeed, be enslaved. I just killed Kroshius not 10 minutes ago using one of them.

A couple notes...

You can only enslave demons that are up to 3 levels above you with the rank of Enslave Demon that you have at this level. If you try to enslave one that's too high, it will say ""Target Cannot Be Charmed,"" leading some people to the assumption that they are not enslavable.

Also, I don't recommend trying the following tactic unless you have Improved Enslave Demon. The reduced chance to have your (higher-level) minion break free during the (long) fight and the extra damage to help shorten it make this worlds easier.

Now for the actual battle...

Firstly, the infernals that you enslave are immune to most of Kroshius' damage. This immunity means that Kroshius will not attack the enslaved infernal unless it is the only thing on his aggro list, and therefore that you cannot attack Kroshius or aggro will be lost on the infernal permanently.

Second, Kroshius will aggro directly to you when he is first summoned, so summon him and be ready to run away or die/Soulstone to de-aggro him. Don't worry, he won't despawn for a while. Now, go and enslave your infernal, making sure that it's at least level 53 (the highest that you can summon at level 50) so that Kroshius (55) is yellow to it.

Third, tell your minion to attack Kroshius and sit back and watch the show. They'll go at it for a while, but not so long that the 5-minute timer runs out if your minion is 53 and you have the talent (I haven't tried it with anything less, but I had about a minute to spare at the end). Your minion is immune to most of Kroshius' damage, as I've said, so he can actually solo Kroshius.

Fourth and finally, wait until Kroshius is one hit from death and kill him. I did it with a Death Coil, just in case it took a second hit.

I hope this helps.

cakewalk is right!
solo'd as a 54 lock with voidwalker tanking... dotted him up (including immolate) and he was dead easily before my dots finished. he showed up as a 55 non-elite to me. super easy!
just a note though: IMMOLATUS is a PAIN... 56 elite to me, tried to kill him twice, and both times he pulled some mobs from around and i died both times... but now i'm determined to kill him! but if you don't want anguish, i'd avoid him.. he pats around the crater area.
hope this helps!

Very easy is right. No ease of killing though made up for the fact he dropped nothing for me whatsoever. Little bothersome to say the least.
