Being a druid, I can tell you that feline grace did NOTHING to help. </p> <p>I had my boyfriend stand outside of the waterfall on his lowbie priest alt. He cast Levitate on me, then I ran immediately inside and fell without problem with about 30 seconds to spare (damn those elevators!) so I would recommend the same! Also he was in my raid and he's only lvl 55 so you don't need lvl 70+ people to make a raid. </p> <p>Caught in about 5 casts. Very scary, I didn't expect it to jump out so. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/soloing-the-lurker/page/2#post-6687 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:30:08 +0000 frankOz 6687@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Tried this today, tried everything but dying to get in. Had four other guildies in party, converted to raid, changed difficulties, reset instance, tried individually, did everything we could think of to get in. This is since most recent patch 3.1.3.9947. Has anyone else had any problems?<br /> All level 80s in party.<br /> Update-tried again next day and walked right in with two of us in raid, followed above and got it right off so I assume this was a patch problem and was corrected post haste. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/soloing-the-lurker/page/2#post-6420 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:18:00 +0000 Tan 6420@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>"Did this last week with a guildie Shaman who also needed the achievement.<br /> Took 3 noggenfoggers to get slow fall, drank the waterwalking potion, jumped, hit the Skyguard cape, landed safely. (We jumped from the far left corner after the second elevator.)<br /> Stayed in the middle of water, walked to Lurker.<br /> I went first and caught Lurker, got the achievement and we both died. The shaman rezzed and then rezzed me (I didn't accept the rez) and then he fished up Lurker for the achievement.<br /> :)"</p> <p>Sounds like it is possible to fish Lurker twice in one go (raid) with different people. It only does not have to get killed. Will he despawn after a while or after the party has died or has run away ? Can you confirm one of the above ?</p> <p>cheers</p> <p>T.</p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc/page/2#post-6385 Sun, 31 May 2009 08:03:48 +0000 hoshisabi 6385@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I just managed to do this as a druid with stealth and without reading any of the instructions.</p> <p>I stealthed past all of the monsters on the platforms, they didn't seem to notice me.</p> <p>Then I jumped down, got attacked, hit lifebloom on myself while jumping out of the water as fast as possible, hit moonkin before I got out, managed to survive.</p> <p>My gear isn't that good, I have a few pieces from a raid I did yesterday, but nothing else to speak of.

And want to clarify some things. I even made a screenshot and put some comments in it.</p> <p>I am a druid and i can confirm what Frol said about feline grace. I used my elixir of water walking and sustained no damage from the fall. I also tried it with Lesser Invisibility potion in caster form. I found out the following. If you use the potion on the ramp, then walk down the ramp passed the mobs and jump in the water there, there will be no falling damage and you can walk to the lurker spot.</p> <p>Screenshot is <a href="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4136/thelurkerabove.jpg">here!</a> Its on imageshack, so it has popups. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc/page/2#post-4677 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:54:24 +0000 Maelvorn 4677@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Finally got it. One tip for hunters or others with pets is to dismiss them before jumping in. First few times I tried it pet fell in water and drew mean ole fish. Dismissed him and had no problems. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc/page/2#post-4656 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 16:36:31 +0000 Anglin Man 4656@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Did it my first try on my lvl 80 shaman. Cast Water Walking, jumped off the platform, popped my Skyguard Cape just before landing and ran straight over to the platform. I caught the Lurker on the first cast, and since I was wearing my fishing outfit, my repair costs weren't too bad after my untimely death. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc/page/2#post-4622 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:18:10 +0000 frol 4622@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I just completed this with my level 76 druid. No slow fall needed, <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20719">Feline Grace</a> is enough, at least from the platform with the first mobs. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-4447 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 09:15:45 +0000 Eltressa 4447@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just to add that if you're a paladin you can just bubble when jumping instead of using noggenfogger. So all you need is a water walking potion :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-4436 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:25:45 +0000 Azaguth 4436@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I managed it at 72 on a DK (about 2 months ago), using path of frost and noggenfogger. I also managed to quickly die when he came up. XD </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-4428 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:51:04 +0000 Kreight 4428@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I managed this as an 80 prot warrior with no pots, and I'm guessing that other tank classes might be able to swing it.</p> <p>For starters, I didn't jump in as the same spot as the dwarf in the video. If you head down the walkway to the first platform and hug the side away from the mobs you can make it by without aggroing them. There are other roving pats further up the walkway, so you have to time it so they're at their furthest when you get there. You should be able to make it past the first platform with the mobs and make it to the second.</p> <p>At that point, you're a little closer to that first pipe you can see from the ledge where you would have jumped. That's what you're aiming for. I had some +40 STAM buff food that put me in the low 30K hp range. I popped Last Stand, Shield Wall and a +dodge trinket I have and jumped in. Not long after the biting started I hit Enraged Regeneration. I managed to make it to the pipe with a few seconds to spare. You've got to get out of the water fast, because if you're not out far enough the bitings will continue.</p> <p>At that point I took a breather. I ate again and filled up the health bar, then waited until everything but Shield Wall was off of cooldown. </p> <p>At this point you can look off toward where you're heading and see the Strange Pool. There's another pipe that's relatively close by. I popped Last Stand and the trinket again and swam over to that, with about half-health when I landed.</p> <p>This pipe goes up to a walkway and back down the other side. There are mobs in either direction, but far enough away so that you won't aggro them. Once you've run as far as you can, the Strange Pool is within spitting distance. For good measure I waited for Shield Wall to come off of cooldown, then used everything again and made it to the walkway of the pool with no problem.</p> <p>Then I stripped down, whipped out my pole (the Kalu'ak one, perverts) and fished myself up a Lurker. Then I died a horrible death, but not before whupping him across the face a couple of times. </p>
