2550 xp at level 28, easy solo as Sarilus Foulborne is level 25. BTW, the quest reward (Light of Elune) is a single potion, so be sure to save it for when you're in a pinch.

When you arrive at the peak, stay to the edge and take out the Bruisers and Acolytes before you take on Foulborne when he starts to run around, they'll be a pain.

As a Paladin, I suggest throwing down Consecration and keeping your melee strikes focused on Sarilus even 64 damage is enough to take out his Level 1 Elemental servants.

The descriptions above were great.&nbsp TY all!&nbsp On my way down, after completing the quest, I found a better route to the top that bypasses the irritating 10-11 lvl acolytes.&nbsp Take the Gold Road south to the road marker pyre at 49.14, turn right and go up the finger ridge right there.&nbsp It will take you to the top.&nbsp There is a small flat spot before the peak, just bear right scrambling upwards and you'll reach the top mere yards from Sarilus Foulborne.

I did this quest complete with a lvl 26 Draenei hunter and a lvl 25 cat pet.

For folks without coordinates that marker pyre is the fourth one south of the broken wall and the second on the left.

Its a good thing you people are'nt 911 dispatchers with the directions you give.

Here is how to find the Peak:

Take the eastern road from Astranaar and take the southern path that takes you into the barrens. You will come across the huge gate that is blocked by guards. Follow the gate along the left untill you get to the smashed portion of the gate that you can easily pass through. This will put you on Gold Road. Follow the road south and continue on. There will be mountians to your left and right which is what confuses everyone at first, ignore these mountians and continue south. You will see a HUGE mountian appear in the background directly in front of you. Just continue south and you will run into a ridge that you can run right up the side of. Keep going up... you will pass some striders and some camps. Ignore the people at the camps if you can and keep following the ridge up, the ridge will zig zag as you get higher. Pass more minions untill you get to the very top, you will see your target crouched over near a small hut. Have at it!

I beat him alone with my lvl 24 Druid. I used cat form and Prowl to sneak up behind him. I then used Shred to give him a whallop and get things started. I then kept following him around in cat form and used Claw each time I got to him. He summoned some elementals but I completely ignored them and concentrated on him. I changed to normal form once to heal. I killed one elemental that got in my way, they die with one hit! I just kept following him and whacking him till he died. The minions scattered about did not attack me. I did use an armor scroll so I would suggest the same.

hope that helps!

Solo'd this as a 22 Demo Lock. This was not an easy fight - as it wouldn't be seeing as how he's level 25. It is doable though.

Located him at the very peak of the mountain, about where you'll see a green dot/pool on the map. Or if you're using a coord mod, 48,19 as onegirlarmy pointed out.

As Childermass stated before - this guys runs around *alot* ... and if you can't trap him or slow him down, he's bound to run into alot of the other mobs. It's a good idea to clear the top of the platform of Acolytes/etc where he is first, and than the ones right below him (or vise versa).

Another thing, he summons water minions. They're only level one, but he can summon up to 3-4 of them. Also, I may be wrong about this, but I *think* if you don't kill them quick enough - they heal him. Couldn't scroll up far enough in the combat log after to check this.

Was able to do this using a Voidwalker as the tank. Just have him chase him around. Dot up Sarilus as much as possible in the beginning (Curses, Corruption, Immolate, etc...). Have to wand the Water Elementals and cast shadowbolts, searing pain, etc... whenever you can.
It requires alot of multitasking (but as a lock you should be use to that by now), but it is possible - at 9% HP, I just shadowbolted him down.

2550 xp @ level 22, 350 Rep with Darnassus

Goodluck. :)

start climb mountain rib at 48,13
and after go to 48,18;instead of run into and spend time cleaning mods, you walk around under the peak, stop at 48,19

now you must be behind Sarilus Foulborne and very close to him.

then locate him by TAB key.When you aim at him, fire and turn back to run but not too far ,make sure he run after you.
Then you can solo him without cleaning any mobs on the peak.

Found him on top of Deadmist Peak. Came up the southern face just to the right of the Horde Camp to the top and killed the mage without any intereference from others.

Soloed as a Level 30 Night Elf Druid.

I did not turn in the quest until I was a level 34 and I only got 500 xp and my reputation with Darnassus only went up 150. Moral: Turn in your quests right away even if it is a long trip.

I'm a lvl 25 Priest, holy spec.

I was really stressed before the fight having read how hard it was going to be. I Shielded and he resisted my starter - Holy Fire. Thought I was toast, but those pittiful minions are lvl 1 and none of them ever got through my shield. Never lost a hp! I just pumped spells on the guy until he died at long distance. He didn't even move. After that the minions died from one hit each.

Not even a sweat. Considering I have almost only spirit gear this would have been even easier with shadowbuild and int gear.

The minions did heal the poor guy a tiny bit - like 15hp or something per heal. It's nothing more than pittiful.

Plus, finding the place was easy as well. Go to Barrens, take left through the fence at the Barren boarder instead of charging in on the ? guards. Just continue in a straight line to the mountain and up the ridge to the top of the mountain and kill.

Easy, but quite fun.

from Ashenvale at 48,14 (first ridge on the right) walk up on the ridge.
You'll find yourself right in front of the guy, take his head of in 5 sec, and you are done.
The small mobs are look scary, but they don't attack :-)
Level 24 hunter.

Another way to get to Ratchet: Go to the gate as described above and try to walk as far in as you can. Horde-guys will follow and kill you but you will find yourself in a graveyard in The Barrens! Revive, and from there it's an easy walk to Ratchet, just keep running south-east. You will encounter only lvl 11 or 12 animals, no problem! Once there don't forget to pay the flightmaster a visit.

Just go to the Barrens and start climbing at 48,13. That way you avoid all other monsters on the mountain.

For those of you who don't have coords. It's the mountain peak just north of the "crossroads"

All those who've ended up in Felwood - can't you read? The quest says he's in The Barrens, just because you've become too lazy by using coordinates, shouldn't mean you stop reading the quest descriptions!

Solo'd as a 24 Druid, took about 10 points of damage before he died.

To make things easier, kill all his level 10-11 minions around the summit, and then take him on, although I doubt that's even necessary. Once you get that done, he can run around all he wants.

The level 1 elementals hit me twice before dying from Thorns damage.

When your position is sorta south of the road, look up the mountain and you'll see some torches meaning there's a road up the mountain.

Being Alliance on a PvP server, and this was my first time to Barrens , I stayed away from the main road. Of course that caused me to miss Dreadmist and yes, I did end up going to the Crossroads hehe.

Easy mode as a 27 rogue, Crippling poison on MH instant Offhand, Open with cheapshot to backstab, eviscerate and he was dead.

Fast easy quest. :D

lol just like in the book, Cycle of hatred, the mountain's mist is the sulfuric orange color.&nbsp Gratz blizz!
eyecandy ftw

16 June 2006 ... Looks like everyone is doing a Anonymous map search on the QUEST.&nbsp I have just done a map search on the bad guy HIMSELF(Sarilus Foulborne) and the Anonymous map shows his location. Only probem is ...... I am L25, quest giver is L25 .... but I am not sure what level horde I have to run through to get to him. Will report back .... MEANWHILE ... if you wanna know where to got fer the quest, it appears that a thottbot search on THE GUY's name (Sarilus Foulborne) is a good bet.

this last post was the best... nobody said is wasnt in ashenvale... thanks a lot mate !

I was in the same boat as alot of you. His location is on the Gold road coming into the barrens from ashenvale. You follow the road and do not go off the road. Once the road opens up to a vast plains and starts heading to the left, stop! Look to your right and you will see a ridge finger that runs up the edge of the mountains. Follow the finger up, it is scalable. once you get to the top, there is an encampment with lvl 11-12 acolytes, and then the mage is in the middle. Wipe off the acolytes and then target the mage himself. Only target the mage and no one else and he will die quickly. Solo'd as a 29 Druid.

found at 48,18

Completed at level 28: 2200 exp, 110 rep with Darnassus.

The Wailing Caverns, a Horde instance for a party of 15s or so with lots of level 18-20 elites, is very close to the Dreadmist Peak. Consider stopping in and playing around, I solo'ed the entire thing as a lvl 26 druid and had an excellent time. Not great exp-wise (most were 1-2 levels below giving exp T.T), but I got a few greens and an fairly nice worthless BoP MAIL (=.= darn my lack of mail-wearing ability) waist piece.

Yes Dreadmist peak is due south after entering the Barrens. If you go past the first big hill you see, and end up at Crossroads, you have gone to far.

The Dreadmist Peak will not show on your map till you start climbing up the side of the hill, past the first camp on the north side of level 12 orcs.

The quest was green to me at level 28. Did it anyway. Was very easy. Just killed all the level 11 mobs around him, saved him for last. Nuked him (he was level 25) to dead, wacked off his head and took it to Silverwind.

In turn I got 2550 exp, 165 rep with Darnassus, and the Light of Elune.

Let me tell you, that "red mist" was the most annoying part of the whole mess.

It took me some time to find the peak in the first place but made it along just fine. Too bad I didn't complete the quest earlier, rather than forgetting about it.. and I would have recieved something worth my while on this quest. :) By the way, I also suggest taking a quick run through the wailing caverns. A bit of fun and some decent stuff.

Ok after you get the quest go south on the road that leads to the Barrens ... when you get the border, go a little east (or do you really wanna fight ? LV Horde) look at your mini map and you will see red items on the entrence of the road and a small black spot a little east .... use the little black spot to cross without battle ... then go south till you see the big mountan (neer the cross in roads) go to the top and fight to win your prize ... head back on the safe black spot back to Ashenvale.

As usual, the hardest part is getting in. There is a broken gate to the east of the main enterance that allows you to skirt the guards and get in unscathed. If any 26+ Warlocks are doing this, the Succubus' Seduction works wonders here. Everyone else: Take out those Elementals, they heal him.

the Location 48,18

solo'd newly level 25 nightelf druid. Killed first time around because he does heal himself. placed thorns and eleminated his level 1 groupies and wrathed him til death. i love how the guards around him do not agro and bother you. even though they are just 10 and 11 levels it would have been hell to have 3 -6 at a time while dealing with his guardians and him.

If you enter The Barrens from Ashenvale (go through the hole in the fence EAST of the main gate), just follow the road south until the road takes a turn towards the southeast. Before the road turns you'll be looking straight at a huge mountain. That IS Dreadmist Peak. It will be uncovered on your map once you climb it a little ways.

OK take the road from Ashenvale. As you approach the gate to the Barrens veer LEFT. You will see a hole in the fence. Go through it. Get on the road heading south. As the road turns to the left hang a right. You will see a Reddish/yellow hill in front of a mountain. There is also a deserted camp just to the right as you head toward the hill. As you climb the hill it will change to Dreadmist Mountain. Easy Quest BTW.

the location is 48,18

After you get in to the Barrens, its the mountain with the lvl 11ish Burning Blade Bruisers at the base. The camp looks like a black spot on the mini map. Take the left leg (facing south) of the mountain--its the longer one to the left of the camp.

I died on the first try, but only after I killed him because I took a nose dive off the side of the peak.
