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.

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> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-3784 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:25:02 +0000 Bubunya 3784@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks a lot!<br /> Helps me a bunch :O)<br /> Now only two left, and one is a STV...:O( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-3598 Sat, 27 Dec 2008 07:39:17 +0000 SoFarKngFast 3598@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I did this last night. Being a warrior, with no slow-fall ability, the easiest way I found was to:</p> <p>1) Buy a water walking elixir<br /> 2) Buy an invisibility potion (18 seconds)<br /> 3) Follow the directions in the video<br /> 4) Equip Azure Silk Belt<br /> 5) Right before getting in the water, I walked half-way down the ramp (not aggroing the mobs, I did that once and promptly died) popped my invisibility, jumped in the water, swam like I've never swam before and got hit twice by the fish right as I made it to the pipe<br /> 6) Pop water-walking potion, walk-over to the pool (Don't forget to unequip your gear to save some repair costs) and fished it up</p> <p>Now, to cach Mr. Pinchy...again... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-1908 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:14:25 +0000 Zemalf 1908@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I made a video showing how this is done solo: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2GPZwpkwPg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2GPZwpkwPg</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-1895 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:49:29 +0000 Sore 1895@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I will also point out that it is currently the Halloween Holiday in the game - you might be able to get transformed into a Whisp or a Ghost from a wand or from random Trick or Treating.

Even when standing on a pipe next to the water and just walking forward, I would go under.</p> <p>So, I used Invisibility potions and Skyguard's Drape (10 sec. slow fall). </p> <p>Got as close as I could to the first pack, and used the first Invisibility potion. Ran to the next platform, and just before the second pack I jumped off the left side towards the pipe that goes into the water. Landed on the pipe and had to wait for CD on Invivibility potion, before I could use another to swim to the next pipe, that comes out of the water and goes up to the platform above Lurker's platform. Waited for CD on Skyguard's Drape (yaaawn 20 min) then jumped down and landed on Lurkers platform. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-1866 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:02:30 +0000 Morganna 1866@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for this works like a charm, just a quick note to say use your pots before you jump, I made the mistake of jumping and trying to use it (noob - I know) went though the water &#38; was fish food.</p> <p>Now just the one that got away left to get! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-solo-the-lurker-above-fish-lurker-below-in-ssc#post-1860 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 04:46:52 +0000 Kemtgor 1860@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thank you! While I've not tried this yet, this was one of the two parts of the achievements I was worried about -- I can keep fishing and try to get a Pinchy and the One that Got Away, but persistence doesn't get me into a raid for SSC, nor does it change the STV Extravaganza. This is one less roadblock in my path, hopefully. Thanks again! </p>
