Target: Gahrron's Withering

Go to Gahrron's Withering in Western Plaguelands to locate and defeat the Cauldron Lord present there, and use its key to gain access to the cauldron. You must have the Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle with you to secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron.
Gahrron's Withering Cauldron Key
Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle
Provided Item:
Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle

Description

The last cauldron that remains is located on a farm now called Gahrron's Withering. It is guarded by some of the Scourge's tougher minions - specifically, wraiths and ghosts. They are not to be trifled with, <name>.

Gahrron's Withering is due northeast of our position here, close to where the Eastern Plaguelands begin; again, eliminate the cauldron lord present there for its key. Here is your empty sample bottle; bring it to me filled. May the Light protect you in this dangerous mission, <class>.

Cauldron Lord kicks pretty hard, and far.&nbsp So get close to the Cauldron with your back facing it when you fight him.

Mobs are between lvls 56 - 57.

Coordinates are the same from above post.

I never thought i would say this... but some hordes are really nice! I tried to kill this guy with my level 54 pally and(of course) was almost dead. But (like the cavalery) there was my saviour, a 60 horde hunter!

Amazing... I would never do that :P... LOL!

I've found for a couple of them, that you have to kill some of the undead around were he spawns, before he'll show up...hope that helps... :)

Good advice. Otherwise the CL keeps booting you into bunches of other mobs. I think I counted about 8 or 9 just before I got a free trip to the Tombstone Tavern. Clearing the area as much as possible is a must, of course, but the respawn rate is so high, you'll be fighting several at a time almost the whole time.

Also, the Cauldron Lord has this trick called Silence. Don't know how it works on others but it took my 58 Warlock out of (offensive & defensive)action for 10 seconds at a time. That's a long time in a battle with 3 mobs on you and the CL used it 3 times in a row. Didn't seem to affect the felguard much but I almost didn't get the chance to fight at all.

Interesting challenge. Might try it again but Outland beckons and the rewards are, as usual, not equilvalent to the time and effort expended.

Edit: Went back and got it done. Took 2 deaths (fear doesn't work on undead) and 1.45G repair bill. Reward was 90S, not 3G. About 6K XP. Good farming for AD rep though. Be careful about getting back from the graveyard though for some reason the designers have reduced the loot time on mobs, so a long graveyard run will cost you the loot from the mobs you've just killed.

I'd advise against clicking on "Blood of Heroes" if you see it, unless you are prepared to fight against two level 58/59 elites :)

For some reason I can't seem to get this quest... I can't talk to shadow priest about it, she just tells me they're still fighting against the scourge and I'm level 55.. What is happening?

I had trouble on this one only because of the Boss kicking me up and silencing me. He has some kind of putrid stench spell that silences you. He only does one or the other, but with him knockin you around, you better clear a rather large space.. lol. I shackled the boss and dealt with his adds, which seemed to have at this point allowed me to get the closest to killing him.

Is there a trick to getting the Lord to pop? I have been repeatedly going to the cauldron and he never shows.&nbsp IT offers the&nbsp Writhing Haunt Cauldron quest when I click on it.

Did this right now, key dropped, and quest done. Probably just a bug Dashtide, you can contact a GM about it.

I hung around the caldron for an hour and never saw the lord spawn near it. Where does he spawn? Is there a trigger? Thanks

Cauldron is at 62,58. The lord is a 58 warrior and spawns exactly beside the cauldron. Just circle around. Mobs around the cauldron are lvl 58, so cleared them just to make sure. If the lord isn't there someone probably killed him just wait, lord spawns in maybe 10-15 mins, happened to me in the previous cauldron quests wherein the lord was killed by someone.

Be careful with the Cauldron lord. He knocks back and silences. I found the best way to do him was to clear, then pull him all the way over to the grass past the fence. There he can knock you back as much as he wants and you won't aggro anything else. His silence was a pain, but generally I just kept shadow word on him, meleed him, and did shield and regen on myself whenever I wasn't silenced. Was actually a pretty fun fight.

Killed him but the key didn't drop. Very annoying.

Tried it again and it still didn't drop.

Chandra didn't emphasize enough that you have to clear everything, and I mean, everything, in the field before tackling the Cauldron Lord and his minion. If you don't, you will be knocked back into a pile of three or four of them, and will repeatedly die. Died three times with my 59 paladin before doing this. Oh, use your Shadow Aura, as you probably won't have enough time to switch back & forth between it and Retribution Aura. I found that using a Winterfall Firewater potion helped, also.
