I just did this quest as a 22 Hunter. The area to get to him is mostly level 22 - 24 demons. The area to get to him is shaped like a ""U"". You can come in either end of this but the path up the hill to him is at the bottom of the ""U"". The patrols are singles with an occasional felhound and felguard pair. I just used a freeze trap on the pairs with my pet on passive and pulling both to me and freezing one. Once you start up the short hill path, there is a felguard at the top. He is not linked to anything and you can pull him down the path safely. Go to the top of the path and look at the camp area where you will find the boss in the middle and his succubus next to him. In front of him on each side is a felhound (fellslayer is the name I think). They are NOT linked to anything. Wait until each one paths as far from the boss and just range pull each one back near the top of the path you just came up. Now you are faced with just the boss warlock and the succubus. I laid a freeze trap at my feet, hunter's mark on the boss, and sent my pet onto the Succubus next to the boss. I poured everything I had onto the boss and killed him as he summoned 2 voidwalkers. The succubus was at half health and so was my pet so I focused fire on her as 1 of the voidwalkers hit the freeze trap. The voidwalkers do very little damage so I ingnored the remaining one until the succubus was dead. The pet immediately attacked the voidwalker on me and I wing clipped it and ran to range. We killed it and the one just breaking out of the trap. My pet was at half health and so was I. There was no need to bandage or use a pot for me during the fight. I realize that every class fights differently, this is just a post to let you know what to expect when you do it. Good luck and stay safe.

This quest sucked. I just did it on my 25 shammy...and since the other person couldn't give any advice about shammies, STONECLAW TOTEM IS YOUR FRIEND. So is Searing Totem. I let my Searing Totem take care of his succubus and when the voidwalkers came up they went for the Stoneclaw Totem. After that, I made sure and did Flame Shock and Frost Shock so he would have some damage over time then beat him / Earth Shocked him to death after that. I killed him just as my Stoneclaw Totem went out, so I dropped another one, looted him, then hit ghost wolf and ran for my life.

The two Felslayers around him are easy to pull without aggroing him, just wait until they're at their farthest point from him.

Ok, since this isn't posted yet...

The path from The Shrine of Aessina is located at coords 24.9, 50.5. This will gently curve around and lead you into the Fire Scar area.

Once in Fire Scar, go around until you get to 25.5, 63.0. THIS is the path up to Ilkrud.

Took me forever to find it since the coords weren't posted. While I have done this quest on two other toons, it has been forever and I had forgotten.

Hope this is helpful to others.

Just did this on my 22 shaman. Took a few tries, but i found out the way to do it without getting butthurt.

no you can't earthshock the summon spell

1) kill the things around him
2) lightning bolt him, then stay alive until he summons his guardians
3) run like heck, get him to reset asap

4) get back to him and drink, put down totems, etc. his guardians should still be out.
5) drop a stoneclaw then run in and engage him before his guardians go away. Time it well and they should disappear after beating up your stoneclaw.
he shouldn't summon anything this time.

earthshock a few shadowbolts and you might win.

Did it 24 lvl NE druid balance.
1. Clear area
2. Root succubus
3. Spam Starfire+Moonfire to burn down Ilkrud Magthrull from max distance, don't pay attention to minions
4. Shadowmeld, adds despawn.
5. Pick up quest stuff.

Solod as a level 21 Feral Druid.

Pulled all of the mobs nearby one by one in cat form using Faerie Fire to pull em.

Then I put on a a healing over time spell, cast Bear Form and used Enrage. Next, go straight up to Ilkrud and start attacking. Keep your rage above 10 at all times and when he starts to cast the spell Ilkrud's Minions, cast Bash to stop his spellcast (you'll want to go to Interface options and turn casting bars on. This is just something that everyone should have activated no matter what).

Use a healing pot if you have one when your health starts to wane, and if worst comes to worst and you don't have Survival Instincts, cast out of Bear Form and heal yourself fast. Good idea not to let your health fall below 1/4 or 1/3 for this reason, since the knockback from two enemies can hurt.

I managed to finish him off right when he was about to finish casting Ilkrud's Minions for the second time, so I did not have to fight the Voidwalkers. Then I easily finished off the succubus and took the tome.

Potions, Bash, and Survival Instincts if possible and this is easy enough for any level 21 and possibly 20 feral druid.

I don't know about you guys... but I had absolutely no problems with this quest.

I didn't even do anything fancy. Sounds like he got a bit easier or i was incredibly lucky :x soloed with a 23 feral druid in heirloom shoulders/chest piece. I stacked both my HoTs on myself, stealthed, and shredded. Then ripped, and clawed him to death. Then I took down his succy, looted his book, and was on my way :)

(Alliance) The quest counts towards https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1678 Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Solo'd this as a lv. 21 hunter, basically when I reached the guy, I killed one of the dog things, then killed the other one. Afterwards had my pet attack the succubs and I began to shot him. His attention was on me and he just shot me with shadobolt, and he never had time to call his other demons. Killed him then my pet killed the succubs and i hearthed. Happy hunting.
