Me be bolothar blah blah
The HEADhunters AND the berserkers are all in one place where there is also a boss witchdocor who is 44 elite something....it is in the east side of the Zul Mamwe ruins up a path i didnt find it quickly

http://classicdb.ch/?quest=588 Comes after this

Do http://classicdb.ch/?quest=209 and http://classicdb.ch/?quest=598 at the same time.

On my 44 warrior, this area is complete suck. everything runs, patrols all over, casters that don't pull easy, and respawn rates that'll make you /wrists. I've died so many times, I might as well be naked.

Ana'thek was actually not that hard, just kill his healer if there is one first, and then run. Come back at full heath and take him out. He goes on little strolls around the area, but because of all the trash and pats, it's better to take him on in the cave.

Ana'thek occasionally wonders outside the cave with his entourage along the road. It's pretty easy to take him out and run from the adds while he's outside.

Did this twice, seem like they spawn immediately after you kill the beastmaster that spawn outside of the cave.

All of the "kill the trolls" quests in STV can be challenging and a group is highly advisable.
The reasons are:
1)Patrols.
2)Multiple adds.
3)Mobs runnig away and aggroing others.

As a warlock, Curse of recklessnes is a life saver here.Anathek will patrol out of his cave.I was just around killing trolls for the quest when i saw him.He had a caster/healer and another troll with him.Cleared around, sent VW, had him AoE taunt.Then put Curse of recklessnes on Anathek, ran in and used Howl of Terror.Now its just me and him.Killed him, looted armor and died to some 5 trolls who came back.I came prepeared, so i was soulstoned and rezed right away.

Note:if you plan on doing that or something similar, very important to clear around first so you can rez without aggroing anything.

Well, this one was a trial on my 42 ENH Shammy, since shammies have pretty much ziltch in the way of CC. I really had to fight the urge to take him first and then run from the entourage...but seeing as I didn't have an ahnk up or any more health pots and the bugger still had his armor, it was pretty obvious that wasn't working for me.

I did manage to pull it off with the help of Really Sticky Glue. Waited until they were coming back to the cave, hit Ana'thek with the glue, ran past him and took out the caster in the group asap. Then I dropped my stoneclaw totem to give me a few seconds to heal up and work Ana'thek alone. Didn't have a health potion or an ahnk up, so it was by no means a beautiful thing to watch, but the job got done.

47,41

I found him (and two other trolls) walking around in the Ruins of Zal'mamwe at exactly 47,41. There were two other trolls with him. I didn't find him in a cave like other posts have suggested.

As a lvl 45 shammy I couldn't kill all three, so I just killed Ana'Thek as quick as I could, picked up his armor, then died right after.&nbsp

Hope this helps!

Headhunters and bererkers. If your lookin at the face of the cave go to the left, beastmaster or two keep going left till u see a path, climb up the hill. U should see an elite mystic and other mystic to your immediate left of that headhunters and berserkers. Hope this helps

Ana'Thek the Cruel will wander out of the cave alone. I tried killing him and Feigning Death, but failed. After I came back, he began wandering with his two escorts. I continued to kill trolls while I waited for him to return. He left the cave and came back twice. On the third trip out, he was running out alone.

45, 45 is where I pulled him to kill.

I found him, he was stationary.
Hes at the southwest corner of Zul Mam'we ruins in the cave of course.
The headhunters and berzekers can be found on the southeast corner of zul mam'we ruins.

Im a lv 45 hunter and i almost died trying to do this by myself. He healed when he got to 1/4 health. Not sure if the spiritmaster that was with him.&nbsp he also had a berserker with him.&nbsp i had to fiegn death and let my cat kill him and the the other two ran off.&nbsp good luck!

and 48,42 is a good place to get the headhunters and berserkers.

this quest took me like 2hours to complete
quest location is true agrohole so don't even bother trying to solo this one. me 39 lock tried to solo but boss is 45 with two ~42 guards. Even if u manage to charge him and kill him his corpse will be gone by the time when u get there from graveyard because u will have to travel from the one that is near Booty bay entrance.

and the trolls suck. they start running when about 20% HP left and bring a lot of adds. never seen patrol with 4 (sometimes 6) trolls sometimes it happens to be 2 groups so it's 8 or 12 trolls to deal with.

i tried to solo regular mobs and it was fine but those trolls are everywhere and they respawn pretty fast in like 5 minutes or less. casters cast roots so it sucks even more

tried with a 44 warrior guildie but could not handle agro and adds so we had to find another one
with 42 rogue help finally we found so headhunters near named boss and killed them

also we wiped once when dealing with 4mobs because few of them ran away and came back with adds so in 30 seconds we had like 10-12 mobs surrounding us. running wont work here because they are everywhere and you just agro more of them unless u have a mount

I cant find the Skllsplitter hunters

I have finished all of the other parts of the quest, but cant find any headhunters throughout the ruins. Where are they found? Thank you.

Soloed as lvl 45 enhancement shaman.
Not too bad, used one mana potion when killing the guy for the armor.
Location was correct, and the camp full of headhunters and berserkers is right beside the cave, taking your time you can pick through them easily enough.

there is no problems with him spawning. i soloed him as a 42 mage, looted his broken armour and then was killed by adds.
&nbsp &nbsp when i went back to my corpse he had already spawned again, in about 3 minutes!

Ana'Thek&nbsp is in a cave at 45,44. An easy kill. He walks in and out with a few other trolls. If you wait a minute after he returns, the trolls all run out and leave him for you to kill.

There's a named Troll Shaman on the other side... maybe you're supposed to kill him first?

I finally found him in the cave. His spawn is most likely to be bugged.

Ana'thek currently seems bugged and unfindable, spend several hours looking for him, and I'm not the only one.

(44,44)

I seriously hate this quest! The quantity of the mobs is ridiculously low, the respawns take a relatively long time and when you finally spot one, most of the time they are surrounded by 3 or 4 other mobs, mostly casters!
Around 49,39, south-east of the ruin where the lvl 44 elite troll is located, there is a place where a headhunter and a berserker spawn, without any other mob surrounding them, thus making them easy kills. Keep an eye on that spot.

EDIT: Ok, so it's not always a Headhunter or Berserker, but still, they're aesy to kill :P

Just done it with my priest so thought it would be nice to share some useful info regarding the trash kills.
The boss has already been explained in detail here so i won't go into that part. As for the hunters, berserkers and headhunters, here's the deal:

• they share the common cooldown - in English it means there are no fixed kill places (unlike the boss) - there are, however fixed spawn areas (see below)
• that means you will have to keep killing mobs in 2 relevant spawn areas until enough of the needed mobs actually respawn for you to kill
• hunters and their pet adds spawn at 46,43 - they can either remain there or exit the ruins and roam about - however their spawning is contingent on the said area being available for spawn. They share the common respawn timer with scouts and witch doctors in that area - in other words if the area is filled with the latter, the hunters WILL NOT spawn.
• similar goes for berserkers and headhunters. They can be found at 48,43 and bit further, however they share the common respawn timer with each other plus the spiritchasers (mana burners). Hence you should keep killing all of them until the needed mobs respawn.

As has already been mentioned all of these mobs run when low on health, including the berserkers. You may want to save a heavy spell/strike or similar for those moments. The key to the quest, as always, is "Patience, discipline...".

I killed Ana'thek in the cave, but I later saw him spawn in the middle area of the camp, so perhaps people who can't find him could try looking around not sure about co-ordinates though sorry :(

Easiest mob was Berseker as they often are standing alone, Hunters are a bit tougher as the have their pet (kill hunter first), Ana'teck was in a cave with 2 leutenants. He is ok to kill and loot, if you accept to be killed, but those Headhunters. Hamstring and ranging, are hard, especially when buffed up with some shadowchasers, who also ar doing ranged dmg.
Possible to solo as lvl 44 shaman

k... I have found out what's wrong. Maybe!, you have to kill some first! :D So screw my last messagee

Which cave are you talking about?

I found them all very easliy...

- Hunters, Headhunters, Berserkers can be found at 47,43

- Ana'tec location is currect [on allakhazam screen's]

Many of Berserkers can be found at 46,45

Where do you find the headhunters and beserkers, the only beserker i found was in the cave with Ana'thek, and I have yet to locate a headhunter.

To turn in quest, go to the cauldron, and right click on it. You should be able to turn it in. Even though it doesn't give you a gold coin to let you know who to turn it in to. Nice quest, i had no prob. finding the main guy.

i spoke with a GM about the damn headhunters. all he told me was they "will respawn in time" and that the quest works correctly. is it? this is not right. no one need to waste hours waiting for a certain type of general mob to respawn in order to cplete your quest

I opened a ticket about this, GM confirmed that there's a known issue with Ana'thek not always spawning.

No difficulty finding berserkers or hunters, but Headhunters do not appear to exist on my server. Ana'thek was no problem in fact, I first killed him in the cave and then he got even while wandering in the camp.
