The lieutenant can be found by leaving town to the north and bearing right when you can (you will start back downhill and pass an empty mill). Bear left along the cliffbase until you start seeing gnolls. Fangore spawns just past the middle of the clearing (you can see a little valley off to the left leading to a cave... just past there). It seemed easiest to just cut thru the middle along the path... only had more than 1 add once (watch out for a group of 3 wanderers). Try to make your way back to the left cliff face where there are some safe spots. As a level 25 I could pick off 3 or 4 of the outer gnolls but could never pull Fangore without fewer than 3 of his buddies. I died maybe once figuring my way around and another 3 times getting swamped. The last time Fangore went down before I did and since our corpses were in a safe spot I had no trouble looting the paw after I got my body back. In retrospect I should have planned on dying from the start and led off with my pet attack rather than trying to get single pulls with my bow and getting the agro on me right away. 2250 exp iirc.

It's important to note that where the Shadowhide gnolls have a larger chance to resist shadow, Fangore itself is entirely immune to shadow spells.

If you are going to do this quest solo, you should first pick off the 3-4 mobs in the vicinity of Fangore (I approached in stealth mode and positioned myself by the hills behind him).&nbsp That will leave you with Fangore and 3 mobs that are close to him, one of which wanders. Pick off the one wanderer too.&nbsp You'll then have to kill Fangore along with the two remaining mobs.&nbsp When Fangore gets close to death he will run off and come back with another mob so make sure you kill him before he does this.&nbsp My level 28 druid died while doing this but not before I successfully killed and looted him.

Was doin this with me, a 25 druid, and a 24 warrior. Pulling fangore individually dosnt work. We tried to pull him when he was a good distance away from his 2 escorts (a good 15 yards) but they still rushed to defend him. Im not sure if fangore is aggro linked to his escorts, but his 2 escorts are definately linked to him.

So if u wanna solo him your best hope would be to take out his ecorts first.
Thanx for reading my comment.

Fangore is not especially hard with a pal or two. You don't _need_ a full party however it makes it much easier. The biggest concern you'll have is moving through that region and handling the many wandering mobs that will join in.

1) He is around 79, 39
2) To kill, first kill everything around the vicinity if you can't stealth - you will aggro all of them. If you can, walk right to him and attack.
3) He is immune to curses...and shadow spells - warlocks will suck at killing him but doable. Every single fire spell you have + void + sac and loot and run.

I soloed him at lvl 33 but sacced my void too late so I got plastered by the mobs after looting, but hell, SS res )

the best policy for this is Kill All Surrounding Mobs...yes its dooable if you just pull from a distance...let them come to you...Kill them and then hit Fangore...He will have 2 escort guys with him...but if you play your cards right you can even pull them off of him when he walks away from them. GL.. Oh Fangore is up the road to the North fork off to the right and head back to the Knowls in the area... He's on the left side of the road in between the trees...Watch out for wanderers...

I had a LVL 23 Warrior and my friend had a LVL 23 Druid. We basically cleaned out the area around LT. Fangore so all that was left was him and 2 guards. I went straight for Fangore as the Druid tangled him up . The druid healed me once but I also have engineering so threw out a dummy which took the aggro off of us for about 30 seconds which was all we needed. We wiped up Fangore , got his claw and then finished his other 2 guards off. We then ran back to lakeshire after we rested. So basically, your best bet is to clear out the area around him if you tackle this in early levels.

Even though he's immune to shadow damage I was still able to solo this as a warlock lvl 27.

Just make sure you clear out everyone around him and then start by casting immolate on Fangore and pull them over to the corner towards about 81, 36.&nbsp Make sure that you have your void set to passive so he doesn't go after the spell caster.&nbsp Once you pull them to the corner send the voidwalker to Fangore and have him cast suffering to pull the melle add guy too.&nbsp Cast fear on the caster and then just start casting searing pain and you'll have to cast immolate once more on him and you'll be done and you can pick up the paw and get out of there.&nbsp I was able to run far enough away where I didn't die.

Good Lord!&nbsp I have no idea how anyone below level 27 is doing this solo!&nbsp I'm a level 26 priest (maybe that's why... a man of cloth armor) with the best armor, mace, and wand I can buy at my level.&nbsp I did what everyone said... eliminated everyone around the lieutenant and his two cronies.&nbsp When I went up against them, they handed me my ass on a silver platter in about 10 seconds!&nbsp No contest!&nbsp I tried everything I could to draw-off one of his soldiers multiple times, but they would have none of it.&nbsp The second I would level an attack, all three would come charging.&nbsp If you're a level 27 priest or lower, do _not_ try this solo, unless you don't mind dying and taking that long trek back to your body only to die again!&nbsp Take at least one friend along--two, if possible, depending who you bring and the level they're at.&nbsp This was a

Druids:
Take out every mob in Fangore's vicinity, but don't touch the two guards closest to him not matter how far they are from him. They are all aggro linked, and will swarm you instantly. Target Fangorn, regrowth, starfire, moonfire, rake, claw, claw, rip, loot, die!&nbsp :)&nbsp

Fangore is indeed imunne to shadow magic ... and although imunne to shadow i killed him alone with my void ... pretty easy actually. I died after killing and looting him couse 4-5 gnolls attacked me and dazed me :P The strategy is very simple: Attack fangore with void, w8 for the void to taunt Fangore, immolate Fangore and after that only Searing pain ... when your void is at 1/8 of his total HP sacrifice him! After that the gnolls will attack you but you'll absorb all the damage and kill + loot Fangore. After that you'll die but no matter that - use soulstone and ressurrect, summon your pet and you are good to go :)

P.S. My lock was lvl 26 when I killed him :D

This quest should be labeled "group." There's no way to pull the mobs separately without a group, and Fangore will find at least three friends to share in the assault on you.

At level 32, I should really have no trouble soloing a level 26 quest. And yet I have failed this one five or six times.

I managed to solo Lt Fangore at level 25, died just as I looted his paw. This was on my third try as I managed to find him with only one add. I sicced my VW on him and spammed searing pain till he ran and chased after him till he dropped. I just ignored the adds I had picked up and looted him. No point in attempting to run at this point with all the mobs around I just wanted the paw. Crappy reward but good exp ended up with 2950 exp. My suggestion on solo is just concentrate on killing Fangore and forget the other mobs you'll just waste mana and die anyway. Oh and if Warlock do not cast fear the 'feared' guy will just pull in more mobs and you will die quicker and miss out on killing Fangore. Good luck.

Solo'd as a level 30 rogue. Followed coordinates/directions below to find him, removed the solo mobs nearby for security. Attacked Fangore, used one Greater Healing potion to stay alive, killed him, and vanished. The other two ran off, I looted, back to town.

I think you are talking about Yowler, not Fangore. Fangore can be found to the FAR east around 79,39. For those who don't have coords, it's to the east in the middle. A bit south and a bit east of the cave.

He's guarded by 2-3 guards and the agro range is huge but it's doable solo, pretty easily if you're mage. But those who want a challenge and chosed another class, get someone to do it with and it'll go faster and smoother =)

This was a painfull quest for my 27 hunter. Died 3 times, though 2 of those times were lessons in bad CC. First death was due to pulling fangorn and not being able to manage the spawn (some of the guys social from a longer distance then you'd expect). I nearly died the second time due to a stealthing gnoll called an "assassin", those things suck. Second death was really because i pulled the wrong char from with my actual hunter and got socialed by the entire group.

Third death i'd gotten annoyed and decided "i'll just kill enough of the guards to tank the span and get the loot". Which worked ok. I probably could have lasted, but those assassins are a real pain in the rear. I'd gotten the group down to 3 (including fangorn) and was doing ok. 2 assassins came out of nowhere and started smacking me up (all agro was on the pet until then). Fangorn died, i got the loot, pet died shortly after, and i managed to run far enough away to get a decent res position. Was a frustrating quest.

If you go for this quest, make sure you also go for "Solomons's law" quest. its an easy quest and hits the same mobs!. Given by the Marshal marris dude, next to the guy who give this quest.

I soloed this as a level 25 warrior (recommended level is 26) and 2 additional adds were mistakingly pulled, which I proceeded to own as well, 5 enemies downed, including Fangore. Warriors listen up, this is how it goes. Kill *all* surrounding adds > charge Fangore > cast Retaliation > cast Demoralizing Shout > build up 25 rage points then cast Intimidating Shout > kill Fangore (use Execution if necessary) > kill remaining enemies. Hope that helps.

Piece of Cake unless you and your group are on crack. We were trying to finish Solomans law (most annoying quest in game) and we stumbled on him. Took him out easy, 22 hunter, 22 hunter, 19 hunter, 22 priest. Only annoying thing was he respawned behind us later while we were killing the camp of gnolls near him to try to finish solomans law and he kinda kicked our ass then lol we slaughtered the camp but he and his adds were to much coming from behind when we were already at low health.

By the way he's in the most southeast corner, follow the mountains southeast from the cave, he respwans right next to a tree down there.

Just to annoy the living hell out of all the casters that struggle with him:

He's quite simple as a rogue, even at lower levels. I did it myself today at level 23.
  1. Clear some of the area around Fangore and his pack.
  2. Distract the adds and Fangore so that you're looking at a pack of 2 adds + Fangore.
  3. Sap one add.
  4. Pick their pockets while waiting for energy.
  5. Open with Garrote on Fangore then SnD and SS or whatever fashion you preffer killing mobs in.
  6. Drag Fangore and the remaining add a bit back while attacking.
  7. Vanish after killing Fangore.
  8. Loot and dance.
I used Instant Poison on my main hand weapon and Crippling Poison on my off hand weapon.
