Debuffs WW right away and even freezing the first batch of fish I still became chum seconds after hitting the water. Really, this is only a p.i.t.a. because of the long-ass grave run; second try worked fine.<br /> I actually tried to fight him; I thought, what the hell, it's only a lvl 70 raid and this is some off, b-list boss right? I'm a goddangled Lvl 85 Fire mage. I do Zul' Heroics, I'll just flush this turd right back down the sewer.<br /> I never ran those lvl70 raids. I only know from 5-mans. When his meter came up with 23 million hp I fought for like 2 rotations and then properly counted the zeros. OK; invisibility.<br /> Once you leave combat he goes away and you could actually fish him up again if your bread is buttered that way. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-lurker-above#post-10319 Sat, 14 May 2011 21:35:10 +0000 liquidsilver0o7x 10319@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Me, a lvl 85 DK and a guildie a lvl 85 Shaman went in so i could get the achiev.<br /> I used my path of frost w/ the glyph so that i take less fall damage. It did break when i fell but i jumped quick and hit path of frost again and hopped right back up and coasted across to the strange pool. </p> <p>We decided that when i fished him up that we'd give it a go and try to kill him. . . WE DID! just the two of us! So, i got my achiev and now we can now say we two manned the lurker! </p> <p>In any case, that was fun as heck! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-lurker-above#post-8758 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:58:41 +0000 Elements 8758@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I can't believe what i just did - but I have to let everyone know it's possible!!</p> <p>I went to Serpentshrine cavern (as a Shaman) with no idea about the slow fall effects needed to stop the water walking effect from dissapating on impact.</p> <p>I jumped off &amp; died, and returned to see if I could somehow manage it - and I did!</p> <p>I re-buffed water walking (just at the right time it would seem) upon landing, it kept me above water and somehow i took no fall damage??

Easy as a mage. Water walking elixir and slow-fall, as mentioned.</p> <p>From previous experiences I know of the bug with the water walking elixir... you just have to be careful not to push forward or "dive" while walking on the water, or you'll push yourself under the surface and those fish will get ya!</p> <p>Did it in one try.. took five minutes.

The moment I got the achievement, I activated my hearthstone, and was able to hearth away before being attacked. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/soloing-the-lurker/page/2#post-6841 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:37:23 +0000 Usagija 6841@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Soloed this a few days ago. 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.
