Shy-Rotam

Storm Shadowhoof at Everlook in Winterspring wants you to defeat Shy-Rotam.
  •  
 Shy-Rotam slain

Description

In northern Winterspring, great cats assemble around a large landmark called Frostsaber Rock. The leader of these cats is known by the name Shy-Rotam. Defeating the matriarch of the frostsabers would grant you much respect in the eyes of your fellow <race>.

Go again to the harsh wilds, and once there, gather sacred meat from the frostsabers. Find the stone of Shy-Rotam, and place it there. Placing the meat of her kin before her will summon Shy-Rotam, in anger.

Be ready for her fury, and defeat her.

I got the Sacred Frostsaber Meat (https://classicdb.ch/?item=12733) from a 58 Frostsaber Huntress near the summoning stone (found at 49,9). I think any type of Frostsaber can drop it, though.

She fears, as well as does a bleed effect. Not too hard though, just be careful, because she summons an add of equal power (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=10741) after you've weakened her some. Killing Shy-Rotam completes the quest though, so you can vanish / run / FD / etc at that point.

The proper way to do this quest:
1)Find a decent group
2)go to 49,10
3)Keep killing Frostsaber Huntresse's and Frostsaber Pride Watcher's until one of them drops the Sacred Frostsaber Meat(https://classicdb.ch/item=17123). The drop rate is actually low: 1.8 and 1.9%
4)The one who looted the meat should place it at the stone(49,10)
5)Shy-rotam and his add will appear, kill them
6)Go to Everlook and finish the quest.

For those actually interested in where the altar is it's at 49.9

lots of huntress' and pride watchers around the area for the meat... these mobs have the best drop rates

If you are attempting to tame Shy-Rotam, but finding that her Fear is a problem, try fighting Fear with Fear. Hit her with a good "Scare Beast" spell to send her running, then set up a Freezing Trap and hit her with the tame as she runs around. I had plenty of time to complete the tame using this approach.

When I did it, we pulled her to the other end of the frozen pond. This far away from her cave her mate cannot hear her call. So we killed her and not her add. (very easy this way)
Tremor totems help a lot. (fyi)

Tried this with two shamans, me with a 60 restoration-spec shaman and my brother with a 59 elemental-spec. We did ok starting off, though we did pull an add thanks to Shy-Rotam's fear. It seemed like she used that every 15 seconds :) Anyways, once she hits about 50% health, she summons her mate, also a level 60 elite. This is where we wiped.

I scoured the web for strategies, and read a suggestion that said hunters could start the fight, then kite her back to Everlook and have the guards there help kill her. Taking that into account, we tried again. This time, I tried kiting her with Frost Shock. It was incredibly successful.

Frost Shock slows the target for eight seconds, but only has a cooldown of six seconds. What I did was cast Frost Shock to start off the fight, then ran towards the road. If you use this strategy, note that you'll want to clear the frostsabers from the road beforehand. I simply ran down the road, turning to cast Frost Shock whenever it's cooldown finished. It's worth noting that at this point, I had about 5400 max mana, as well as the Elemental talents that increase Shock damage and decrease Shock mana cost. Even with all that I still had to use a superior mana potion a ways down the road. I was able to stay way ahead of Shy-Rotam, and well out of range of her fear. Not only that, but once she got down to 50% health, she called for her mate, who did not appear. My guess is that he spawns back at Shy-Rotam Rock. I was so far off that he either never caught up or did not give chase. Regardless, he was not a factor, and once Shy-Rotam got to around 10%, I dropped a Tremor Totem (to break Fear) and closed to finish the fight with melee and Earth Shock.

My brother only used one Frost Shock, and that was at my suggestion, as a way for me to save a little mana on the road. There was also a level 57 Alliance hunter who saw us and fired on Shy-Rotam a few times, but his damage was fairly small, mainly Concussive Shot (I assume he was trying to avoid pulling aggro). After killing her, I still had about 800 mana and about 70% health. The removal of her mate was the dealmaker here, so I recommend kiting her down the road if you can.

Just wanted to confirm post-patch 2.3 that she DOES still summon her mate. Neither is elite anymore, but they do both appear.

I'm Alliance and I saw both of them, so either Blizzard fixed the non-summoning part or previous posters have been killing her too quickly.

*Update*
I've now done this quest on several characters post-2.3 and can confirm that she does not always have time to summon Sian-Rotam before she dies. When I fought her, she was usually able to call him, simply because most of my characters were underlevelled and lacking in anti-fearing techniques.

Ursius and Brumeran are no longer Elites as of todays patch, which means its a possibility that Shy-Rotam and her Mate are no longer Elite aswell. I'm not to that part in the quest string yet but will edit this post accordingly if no one else has the info by then.

*edit* Confirmed, Shy-Rotam and her Mate have both been reduced to Non-elites.

You will need to acquire [Sacred Frostsaber Meat] to summon Shy-Rotam. This drops from the Frostsabers surrounding Frostsaber Rock.

Once you have the Sacred Frostsaber Meat, go to the Stone of Shy-Rotam, which is the gray stone in between two blue flames directly underneath he huge rock that Rivern Frostwind is standing on top of. There you can use your Sacred Frostsaber Meat to summon Shy-Rotam.

Shy-Rotam is a level 60 non-elite, but she uses [Terrifying Roar] often, so keeping her CCed is a good strategy to prevent her from making you flee.

Also, in order to prevent Shy-Rotam from fearing you into more mobs, I suggest dragging her back into the big dark area on the ground that looks like a frozen over or dried up pond, since there are no mobs in this area to attack you if you go too close.

I encountered no "mate" or other mobs using this strategy and had no problem soloing her as a Level 57 Human Rogue, but just in case, be sure to bring some potions and maybe some scrolls to buff up if you can afford it.

If you pull Shy-Rotam out into the frozen lake that's in front of the pillar, the second elite won't spawn when she calls for him.&nbsp Makes this fight half as long/hard.

Did it with a 57 Lock and a 61 priest.&nbsp Just keep her feared the entire time.

Just did this as a 57 fury warrior with 55 holy / disc priest. Pull Shy back from her spawn point out onto the frozen pond opposite the rock and her mate won't add.

I used a Mechanical Yeti charge to help with the DPS.

Just completed as Priest 57 Shadow. Meat (http://classicdb.ch/?item=12733) got from first http://classicdb.ch/?npc=7434. But when I was killing Shy-Rotam, after few seconds Shy-Rotam appers again... So I was killing both at the same time. Don't know if this is normal, but killed both (just SW:P, VE, VT, Fear, MB and MF). Second Shy-Rotam was immune to Fear :-( Quest completed after first kill...

BTW: as priest you can use Fear Ward buff on yourself to prevent fear you...

The name of the meat is 'Sacred Frostsaber Meat'.

It apperently drops from any Frostsaber, not specifically the blue ones, because we got it off a random drop.

We did it with just me(Druid), a rogue and a priest. Kinda easy ^^

the quest was very easy as a 57druid, just took both out in cat form, didn't have to heal or anything.

stone is at 49,9 in Winterspring
Meat can be looted from cats nearby.

Pulled her away from the stone and no spawn whatsoever. Me (56 hunter), 54 rogue, and a 60 mage downed her quite easily after that. She does fear quite a bit (maybe 2-3 times) but it's no real problem if you try to get the Sacred Meat around the stone area since the mobs will have thinned out by then.

Did it again afterwards for someone else with a 57 tank, same principle. Pull her away and she won't spawn her mate, Sian Rotam.

I'm a novice at this game. This is my first character and for every one thing I know about WOW, there are a few dozen dozen things I do not know. For just one example, I have only done one instance on the Cenarius server ( Razorfen Kraul) and that was solo.

But I have stumbled along as a solo Tauren hunter to 59. And usually can hang in most situations. So I thought I could probably solo this quest. Worth a try anyway. ayiyiyiyi...I was wrong

For anybody a little confused, as I was, as to the location of Shy's rock altar.... that huge angled slab with the alliance trainer up top.....just go behind and under that slab. You'll see the altar and a path to the "cave".

OK. I got the meat quickly and cleared around the area. Placed the meat.Shy came roaring out and cast fear on my pet immediately then on me and did huge damage to me while I was running around and helpless. Pet came back and was dead in a short time....I was dead shortly thereafter. Pulverized my butt.

Made the run back to res, and thought I'd do better now that I knew what was what. So set an immolation trap in her path before summoning and got a few shots off - concussive first - this time before she cast fear on the pet......made the mistake of trying to mend my pet...no go..pet died..so we were now going toe to toe and I was making a little slow progress when she hit 55% health or so and her mate arrived. Soon I was dead. I gave up....lol....which I usually don't do. I didn't come anywhere close to putting em both away. Though I am a solo player, next time I may try and assemble a 40 player raid group for this quest <grin>.

One good thing about the trip to Frostsabre rock....before trying the quest I tamed a huntress and picked up level 3 dash for my pet.

Shy and Sian look cool for sure....personally I think the level 59 and 60 Pride Watchers hanging around the area look even better. But me, I will hang with the old mountain lion I started with. (I like dogs better than cats in real life....but the pet has saved me more times than I can count. A stubborn loyalty thing) Too bad that when you tame an elite pet like Shy or Sian, most of their abilites in the game do not translate into capacities as pets. (as best I can tell)

Last night I tamed Rak'Shiri as my pet, but then I learned of this horde-only quest that spawns Sky. When I was reading postings about sky I noticed someone said something about taming Sky. Could anyone tell me if there is an improvement in one over the other as a hunter pet?
