The Exorcism

Kill the Demon of the Orb, then speak with Tabetha.

	Demon of the Orb slain

Description

Now that we have a summoner's orb, we must exorcise the demon within it. I can do that. That's the easy part.

You're the one who has the hard job. You're the one who has to kill the demon once it's out.

And you'll have to be quick. If you take too long then he'll jump back in the orb and we'll have to start over!

So get yourself ready. Prepare your strongest spells and keep your potions handy, and go get a friend if you have one. Because this isn't going to be pretty.

I've just beaten this guy (solo) as a fire Mage 38. It's not easy... I only did it on the 3rd go, but it is possible.

Before the fight, I buffed with arcane intellect and mage armour. I also created a Mana Jade. I then activated the quest. While Tabitha was walking outside, I cast Mana Shield on myself. I stood well back from where he spawns and cast Pyroblast on him from maximum range, then alternated fireballs and fireblasts until he wore down my Mana Shield. When Mana Shield is gone, I used Frost Nova to hold him, then backed up and hit him with another fireball/flameblast combo. Once Frost Nova wears off him, you've got to kite him in circles around Tabitha's hut. Use blink to get a bit of a head start. Use the Mana Jade while kiting him, as your mana will be at about 1/3rd at this point. Whenever Fireblast is ready, turn around quickly and hit him with it. If you build up enough of a lead, he won't be able to hit you. When Frost Nova is ready, use it again and do another Fireball/Fireblast combo. Just keep repeating this and he should go down. I beat him with 50 health and 30 mana left, and about 25 seconds on the clock.

Prodigious use of mana shield meant I took very little damage during the fight. Just go toe-to-toe with him and nuke away, refreshing mana shield as necessary, until you run just about out of mana. Then frost nova, step back, and use Evocation.

Alternatively, you can get by with a mana jade instead of Evoc if you're willing not to refresh mana shield as often, but with Evoc, it was very, very easy.

Remember that Tabetha will summon the demon in the garden, but you don't have to be standing there to let him aggro - you can stay back and pull him at your leisure with your favorite opening spell. Also, if you realize you're not ready, you can let the timer expire (and/or run until the demon un-aggros if you've already aggroed him), abandon the quest, and reaccept it from Tabetha when you're ready.

Bhag'thera, the 40 Elite panther in STV, was harder, though not by much.

i tried three times, twice at 38 once as 39 (speced as fire)

i died first 2 times without getiing him to half health but third killed him with 1 min + 30 secs left and over half mana and health left (for me).

i don't know what made the difference, especially as on the third time half his hits were criticals but here are my tactics:

1: w8 at docks
2:pyro (doing minimum damage of course!)
3:firball, fireblast, frost nova, back up, fireball, mana shield (broken in two hits thank u very much criticals), health potion and then evocation (gaining very little mana of course thanks to shield being broken in 3 secs)
4: frost nova
5: go to field outside hut using blink (take mana jade)
6: fireball and fireb,last to death

WORST 40 ELITE EVER!

Yep, it's a 40 Elite and I solo'ed at 38. I'm not even a good frost spec, I'm actually aimed towards AoE grinding. As Itaru said, just frost nova and evocation can finish him off, timed with blink while he's slowed, in between instants like fire blast and CoC. 1 mana gem used, [ a mana agate too, it was a rank one gem] Didn't even use a potion, I was very pleased.

But as I was celebrating it goes "The Exorcism failed." and I was like omfg all over the place : (

Moral = TURN THE QUEST IN FAST

Demon is a lvl 40 (Elite) I took him at lvl 40 however, with frost nova mana shield and evocation. Run mana shield all the time when mana gets low frost nova back up and run evocation as long as you can.

I did this first time as lvl 37 frost mage, with one big healing potion. Just keep your distance from the big creep, he hits real hard. He spawns in the garden - stand by the dock, and frostbolt till he's close, then frost nova and scarper. Feel free to pop him with your nukes and use up your mana - because when your frost nova cools down, hit it again and do an Evocation to restore mana. Chug the heal potion, and go toe-to-toe with your nukes and arcane explosion to get him down quickly at the end to beat the timer clock. Don't use mana shield - you need the mana to nuke him. And use the house as an obstacle - keep running around it while he's slowed (don't get tangled up in the haystacks round the back). Finally, whiz round the house once before accepting the quest, and *do* clear any wandering mobs from the immediate area. He's enough of a handful without some danged spider biting your arse... Have fun.

I did it at level 37 solo. Just bring some bandages and get by the dock when he spwns so you can get 2 fireballs off before he hits ya. Then just kite him until you get low health and then bandage. After he gets around 1,000 health left&nbsp you will be low on mana and possibly health so just kite him around the little house to finish him.

As everyone else has said, easy to solo even if you're a couple of levels below him.

I had a greater healing pot (the level 30 kind). Accidentally aggroed right when he was summoned, two fireballs, fireblast, frost nova, blinked away, 2 more, health pot... at that point i was out of mana... I just kited him around until my fireblast was up and he went down then. Not that difficult.

I also did not have a mana jade on me... if I did, the fight would have been a joke.

37 mage, fire-specced, decently-equipped

Had to use evocation, and my mana agate, and still was out of mana for the end, so I pulled out the staff and started meleeing... he killed me, but was still burning from a crit I got, so he died right after me, with 2 seconds left too!

Got back and talked to her... got my wand =D&nbsp looked in my quest log... quest failed&nbsp >.>&nbsp Guess I gotta redo it to finish the chain... *sigh*

He did resist a lot of my spells though, maybe fire-resistant?

I tried with my Arcane mage at level 38.. Failed of course.

1. Level 40 Elite spawns.
2. I shoot frostbolt to slow it down.
3. Game locks up. DAMNED! What the hell?
4. Game revives when the Elite stands right in front of me.
5. Frost Nova.
6. Run and Bandage Self.
7. Tried all sorts of shi* on him
8. Required to use a potion.
9. Got him to about 10% and HE removed all of my remaining 10%HP with one hit.

Didn't matter anyway.. there where only 10 seconds left.

It seems the only magic that wasn't resisted was Ice Bolt and Frost Nova. But things like Fire Bolt and Arcane Missile showed me to much Resist.

Damned.. And I helped a 37 mage a sec. before I started mine.. He left in such a hurry X( He will probably say he solo-d it like many others say (Many people solo stuff with the help of a 60er nowadays)

Also.. is there a faster way to the cabin from the gravejard without having to walk all the way back there.. The Dying isn't the problem.. It's the 20 minute to the corpse.

Not too bad. Solo as 39 Frost Spec. Only had to use one Mana Gem, but I did get somewhat lucky with Frostbite and crits. Just know that you only have 3 minutes to kill him and turn in the quest, so don't waste time dancing once he's dead. )

Soloed it by 37 lvl frost mage. Main problem was time - quest was failed twice before i did it. Raptor, near house also makes this quest is not too easy.
You have 3 minutes to kill demon and to return quest. When demon is summoned, you have about 2:40 minutes to kill him. No loot.
Quest leads to next chain in Uldaman.

as a 40 fire spec mage i took him on my first try.make sure you have health pots with you it will help out alot. Frost trap was my best friend in this fight for sure along with bandages. i would say make sure that you kill the raptor in the back of the house first like i did so you have no other targets around.
when i was done fighting i have about 45 seconds to turn in quest.

Tip: Kill any wandering raptors before fighting this guy. I had him no problem and then I aggroed a near by raptor. I failed the quest. If this happens be sure to abandon the quest and Tabetha will offer it again.

i solo'd this as a 60 rogue. Very easy. Didnt even use mana shield (didnt have that anyway), nor a pot, nor even a jade. however i had no energy at the end of the fight and what I did was:
- I stabbed him with left.
- I stabbed him with right.
- I stabbed him with left again.
- I stabbed him with right again.
- Then this mosquito came so I missed with left, almost cut off my right thumb.
- I stabbed him with right very hard.

Who needs kiting anyway.

i am mostly fire oriented with a bit of arcane talents, and did it alone at lvl 39. my fire talents give me high chance of crits with stun and various DOT effects, and when combined with frost spells the deamon had much less chance of touching me.

i prepared myself with a scroll of intelect 2, and started the fight with Pyroblast from a distance, and Arcane missiles and Fire Blast were the mains. during the fight i had to use a mana jade and a superior health potion, and still ended up running away from the deamon several times waiting to regain enough mana for my scorch spell, which ended the fight.

started this quest from lvl 38 and it was always a close call, just a tiny bit short. as soon as i got lvl 39, i did it.

I just soloed this guy with my 38 Fire-specced mage with about +122 Fire damage. Opened with pyroblast and it crit for 855, so the rest of the fight went by pretty fast. Didn't use a potion or a jade, but I was oom at the end of the fight. It was easier than I thought :)

Edit: +128 Fire dmg. Alot of drinking, but fast kills :)

I did it alone at level 40. Not so easy, but it can be done. I'm an arcane/frost mage. I kept him at a distance as much as possible with Frost Nova+Blink and chills. When running out of HP and mana, I used Frost Nova once more, casted Evocation and used a Superior healing potion. He was then roughly at 45% of HP, and I was nearly full HP and full mana. I finished him off with Frostball, Arcane missiles, and then all my instant cast spells: Cone of Cold, Fire Blast, and Arcane Explosion (also instant cast).

(sorry for multiple posts...)
