Выполняя это задание и будучи уже у подножья пирамиды нельзя сразу говорить с Блаем. Для начала нужно отправить гоблина взрывать ворота, в противном случае гоблин станет желтым и на ласта вы уже никак не попадёте.

To start the quest event you have to kill the Sandfury Executioner at the top of the Temple and use the key he drops to free Sergeant Bly from his cage.

After freeing Bly several waves of level 42-45 trolls spawn at the bottom of the steps (some but not all elite). It is best to wait at the top of the steps and kill each wave of spawns as they come to you, because if you go down the steps you may agro additional trolls. If you toggle pvp on you will get heals from the orc npc priest, but they won't usually save you from dying. After fighting several waves of trolls Bly leads you down the steps and you fight the two bosses. Neither are particularly difficult, though you do fight both at once so make sure to off-tank one of them.

Once the bosses are killed you can talk to the goblin who will blow up the gates to Chief Ukorz Sandscalp. Do not talk to Bly until everybody is ready, because doing so causes Bly and his group to agro and attack you. Kill off the priest and lock first, then the rogue and finally Bly himself. Loot his body for the divino-matic rod and the quest is complete.

To do this quest your group needs to be slightly higher than it does for most of the instance. Most of the members should be around level 50. Good healing and Dps is probably more important on this encounter than healing.

A really good tactic I came up with was to mind control the priest. You can use her to heal your group and it stops Bly and his cronies from getting healed. She may not heal well but it certainly does affect you fighting Bly.

There is an easy way to take out Bly and his crew after you've finished off all the spawns.
(after you have the Demolition guy blow up the door to the last boss that is)
Wait for them to begin to Hearthstone (yes if you wait long enough Bly and his gang will begin to hearth away).
Then talk to Bly at the last second and his teammates will continue to hearth and leave.... leaving only Bly to kill.

Did this last night with:

45 Warlock (me)
49 Rogue
48 Priest (holy)
46 Warrior
43 Pally

Didn't have any problems. it was actually pretty easy. Warrior and Pally tanked and off tanked. Rogue helped out with DPS priest just stayed back and healed.. and I used the locks only AoE spell over and over again.. It deemed pretty effective and nobody died when we did it.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I'm a priest and get owned ( all the time here ). what is the key here. Have gone through this at least 4 times and no succes yet. Im seeing Pally's and Mages really worth thier weight in gold here

Комментарий от Thottbot

our group did this first try and we even had two rez's in battle: 45 rogue, 41 priest, 48 mage, 45 mage, 50 druid-i think 50. it was quite fun :P if ur having trouble with this quest try that make-up.

Комментарий от Thottbot

if you want an easy time on the sergeant wait till they hearthstone then quickly talk to him

they will all continue hearthstoning but the sergeant -> u can solo him. :) easy as pie

At the end of last wave of attack, I found that I was the last man standing. My group mates all died and my health dropped to red level. There were still 3-4 mobs fighting with NPCs. I stepped aside to bandage myself and managed to kill all the mobs. And then I had to speak to Bly and solo him when he tried to hearthstone. I used everything -- evasion, potion and my shatterer disarmed him twice. I took him down to about 1/4 health when I was about to die. Fortunately, our lvl 45 rogue came back just in time to help me. I vanished and cheapshotted him and stepped back a little to restore a little health before coming back to finish him.

Комментарий от Thottbot

When u Killed the trolls and wait to long for talking with bly they will HS!

so don't wait longer then 2, 3 min

Комментарий от Thottbot

If you enable PVP. One of the NPC's helping you, will actually heal you throughout the fight.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The first time I did this we did it with no deaths. I forgot the group makeup.

This time we had 2 deaths and only because my Tremor Totem got destroyed and I got feared. Our group had 54 Warrior, 51 Shammy (me), 51 Mage (Fire), 44 Rogue, & 44 Warrior.

Tip: stay on the upper platform. When a few group members got below on the long steps, they were out of view for healing and the troll helpers stop helping you.

Tip: You will only have a few seconds between the later waves to res people (unless you have combat res). This also includes drinking.

Tanks make sure you keep agro away from anyone that is drinking between waves!

Shaman tips... healing totem is great, as is Magama if you can stand the agro, Nova is Ok if you can get it off without it being destroyed (talent).

When you are fighting down below against the elite trolls, be careful of fear/intimidating shout!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Whatever you do, do NOT wait too long to talk to the guys at the bottom b/c these mofrakee's will hearth out. Some sick joke the devs put in the game i guess...

Комментарий от Thottbot

Seriously, the pyramid at the end of Zul Farrak is a very hard quest. When I did it, we fought them as soon as they attacked the NPCs. When they were too many, we would use AOE.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Just did this quest for first time in a party of 5.

50 Priest
50 Paladin
50 Paladin
50 Warlock (me)
51 Warrior

Two others did it before and knew what to expect but this was the first time for me. Not knowing what was in store I said sure thinking we just had to escort those guys out of the instance. Then the warrior told me to "look down" after the letting the guys out of the cages... I nearly soiled myself when I saw the mass of trolls appear at the bottom!

We stayed at the top of the steps until the very end. Every time I thought we were about to get overwhelmed I would sacrifice my voidwalker and hellfire everything around me. I had to do that 3 times before we finally got to fight the bosses at the end. Used life tap quite a bit when i couldn't drink and had to resort to a mana potion once. Nobody died or even got below about half health for long.

When we were all done I checked the DamageMeter addon which reported more than 30k dmg from hellfire!

Комментарий от Thottbot

48 Warrior did this with ease, dont remember the group, here is how we did it:

While they are running up steps have warrior Demo Shout + Thunderclap to get aggro. Then warr tank the elites. Everyone else can solo the non-elites, have someone helping to kill the guys on the healers quickly.

Комментарий от Thottbot

did this one twice with no wipes what so ever. Apparently there's a "safe zone" to the back left (if you're looking at the cages) where the mobs don't cross but we didn't need it. Just make sure to flag yourself before opening the cages so that you get freeby heals. They usually come up the stairs in two waves so drink in between. After the second wave Bly starts moving his group downstairs so grab a drink there too. After boss fight do a quicky drink and get someone to talk to Bly before he stones out.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I've completed this 3 times this week with my level 43 priest (all shadow). The first group, we had a pally who helped with the healing. The last 2 groups, I was the only healer in the group. In addition to the already excellent comments regarding going PvP, etc, I think there are a couple of things you need to do to succeed.

Our last group had two level 50 warriors, a 49 hunter, a 47 lock and me.

1st - Gather everybody b4 you start to buff. Fort buff and shadow resist should be recast on everybody in the group. Everybody stay at or very near the TOP of the stairs UNTIL Bly and his crew start moving down. No need to move down until then. Let the mobs come to you. The main benefit to the priest is that everybody stays in your LOS (line of sight) so you can heal. I mention those 2 things in my groups. Stay at the TOP and in my LOS, that is, IF you wanna be healed, hehe.

2nd - Use your spells wisely. I primarily use Flash Heal, PW:S and Renew. Using that as a combo is enough to get a tank through for a few seconds while you help somebody else. Flash Heal is my primary healing spell. It heals enough without generating huge amounts of agro. (I've also started using Prayer of Healing more when you notice that everybody is down about the same amount of health. Works pretty well.) Also, bounce your heals around. Don't heal the same toon 5 times in a row unless absolutely necessary. Doing that will certainly bring the agro on you.

3rd - you have to take the opportunity in between waves to mana up. Let your mana build up completely before jumping back to your feet. Your tank(s) (hehe, had 2 warriors to heal in the last group), health can get down to 80-75% b4 you start to heal. In fact, I've found it's better to not start healing right away. It conserves mana AND doesn't start building up agro points against you right away. Let your tank take some damage. That's what he's made for. I think we may have even ended a couple of the waves with me almost out of mana and the tanks at 50-60% health. A great opportunity for 1st aid.

4th - you have to use your Fade as it was intended. At this point, I always let a mob HIT ME b4 I activate Fade (of course, having Inner Fire active goes without saying). That may not be true in the future, but for now it works great. 95% of the time, when I use Fade, I LOSE the agro and don't get it back again until AFTER Fade has cooled down. If I don't lose the agro, I shield, call for help and cast renew on myself. Then, I keep healing and trust that help will come. It usually does. Remember, in the same measure that you want the tank to HAVE the agro, the tank wants you to be FREE of agro so you can continue to heal.

Lastly, and this should be understood, if you're a shadow priest, you can go into shadowform at certain points in the instance and do so effectively, BUT NOT HERE. Your shadow spells will not do enough damage for Vampiric Embrace to heal your crew and keep them alive. You need to be in healing mode here, casting only healing spells, no damage spells. You will need all of your mana to keep your group alive.

For me, this is one of the most fun quests in the game. It's not like it's a bad pull and you don't know what's coming and whether or not you will wipe. YOU KNOW it's a 'bad pull' and that it's gonna be chaos for the next 5 minutes without much let up. Just waiting for those words gets my blood flowing...

"Everybody ready?"

"K...here we go..."

I hope some of this helps you complete this great quest successfully and free of wipes. Have fun!

Janecke, Kargath

Im a 44 T druid and i cant figure out how to do this? ive had 2 groups with me and a priest lvl 52 healing and we've wiped both times! ANY hints anyone? PLEASE!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I haven't seen this written explicitly somewhere else, so I'll write it.

After kill all the trolls and you're standing at the bottom with Bly, don't wait too long to talk to him. Drink, etc. and then talk to him (or the goblin first to open the chief's door) to make him hostile.

Our group waited too long last night, and they all hearthed away, leaving us frustrated since the 'Divino-matic' rod was the last ZF quest for most of us.

Edit: Immediately after writing this, I saw it stated up near the top.

Комментарий от Thottbot

You do NOT need to PvP flag for the NPC to heal you. I know this from personal experience.

I have soloed the event numerous times with my lvl 60 hunter. At this point my success rate is about 80%. Key to survival is protecting the weaker NPCs. They deal significant DPS. I discovered it's suicidal to use AOE except at the very end of attack waves. Another lesson: its inefficient to rely on ranged weapons, due to recurring line of sight issues. Best bet is to assume aspect of the monkey, and just dive right in, backing off occasionally if you need to bandage.

NPCs in order of priority

1) Orc Warlock
He is usually the first NPC to die. If you protect him he will continue to cast rain of fire and put DOTs on incoming trolls. He is an aggro magnet. Melee attacks disrupt his rain of fire and seriously reduce his dps. If you keep him aggro free, the trolls die quickly and your odds improve greatly. Toward the end of each wave he will run out of mana, and jump into melee combat.

2) Dwarf Priest
She is the only NPC who heals, making her very important. Mostly she struggles to keep the rogue NPC alive. But she will also shield or heal you, if she has the mana. Healing causes her to draw aggro from every loose mob running up the stairs. She is more robust than the warlock, presumably because she can shield herself. When she runs out of mana she will jump into melee. If you keep her alive, the rogue's odds improve as well.

3) Rogue
She stands in the front row and takes a severe beating. But she deals lots of damage and is important to protect. If the warlock and priest are free of mobs, go help the rogue.

4) Goblin Engineer
This guy is surprisingly tough. He deals area damage using land mines and bombs. This brings him aggro, but he can usually handle it. Unless you wipe, the goblin will most likely survive. Which is fortunate because he is needed afterward, to blast a nearby gate.

5) Bligh
He is a very durable warrior, able to look out for himself.

At some point Bligh will suggest that you move forward. This is a good idea. Trolls are continuously spawning at the base of the pyramid. Your best bet is to take out the two named elites and stop the spawning. Start with the caster because she generates heals and is probably the one spawning the adds. She is a boss but not particularly hard to kill.

After completing the event you can pick a fight with Bligh. This allows you to kill Bligh for a quest, but in the meantime it triggers the goblin to run off and blast the nearby gate. Behind that gate is another boss who minds his own business until you are ready. If you don't have a quest involving Bligh, you can just ignore him and ask the goblin to blast the gates.

Where can i get the key to undlock the cages?

Комментарий от Thottbot

Drop a Frost Trap about half-way down the steps, then move back up towards the top.

At the very least, this will slow down the incoming waves, giving your group more time to deal with them.

It will also give you the chance to get a couple of shots in (serpent sting them, so it will keep damaging them after they move into melee range).

If you feel you can do it safely (you are tough, or the tank can draw aggro well), serpent sting as many mobs as possible as they come up the steps.

I also found setting my pet on "aggressive" was very useful, because the fights can get so confusing that you can't efficiently order him about otherwise. (Probably the only time in an instance where this is a good idea).

Комментарий от Thottbot

When can you obtain this quest?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

You can completely bypass the troll fight easily.

After you kill executioner, dont open the cages, intead talk to the goblin, let him out to blow up the door. Then talk to Bly, talk about the Divine-O-Matic Rod. He will become angry, and when you finally let him out he will fight you immediatly, along with the other prisoners so let them out one at a time.

Once you kill him you get the Rod.. not a single troll attacks, all of this takes place at the top of the stairs. Although if you want to fight the Shadow Priest to get the Big Bad Vodoo Mask or whatever then let him out without talking to him, but talk to the Goblin first so he won't disapear at the bottom.

EDIT: Bah... This is the most buggy quest.. Ok apparntly this works some of the times. I did two more ZF runs since I last did this trick. The first time it did not work at all and we fought the trolls. The second time it did work, fought Bly, and got the Div Rod. But the trolls were still released... Thankfully with no NPCS at the top of the stairs, all we had to do was jump off the side and run around the mass of trolls.

Anyway, I can not guarantee what will happen if you do this trick, but I still recomend giving it a shot, makes it a lot easier then having to kill 100 trolls.

How do you open just one cage door?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Tbh, I read that tis q was gona be hard, and insanely difficult.

That was not the case, we went there 3 times in the weekend, and with the exception or a bug once, that involved Bly dissapearing at the end of the stairs so we could not kill him, worked like a dream.

Party was 46-49 ppl, and on the stairs, just lay back and let the NPC's kill everyting with little support from you.

They have healer, a Warlock that spams $%^& to everyone, and 3 ppl beating hard.

Not that hard imo.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

something similar just happened to me... we finished killing all the troll waves, and then the npcs were at the bottom. you could talk to them but they wouldnt have any relative info to say... after trying to talk to the npcs about 4-5 times they finally hearthed and that was the end of that.... all that work for nothing :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

We did the fight tonight with a lower level group, 46 hunter, 2 45 Warriors, a 41 Rogue and a 42 priest. Wasnt too difficult really.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I was using my L60 BM hunter to help a guildy's group with this (even though the druid had a deathwish and the warrior couldn't hold aggro on a small Belgian hamster if his life depended on it) and setting my pet to aggresive once the executioner is dead was mildly entertaining. A L60 buffed up wolf spamming dash just tore them up nicely and only had to mend pet once. A well timed intimidate nicely screws Bly's healer in the fight at the end too.

I did this quest like 4 times and they dropped different items 3 iof the 4 times and some of them were realy good. Good for helping some of the low 40 lvls get some good xp too.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Here is a way to kill Bly without fighting all of them. After kiling all the trolls, Bly and his guys will stand around waiting for you. Talk the goblin if you want to fight the chief, he will run away and blow the door and then disappear. After a while, Bly and the others start to hearth out of there this is the exact moment to talk to Bly. THe others will be gone and you just have to fight him solo.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I love this quest. The view from the top of the pyramid is awesome as the trolls charge up. Quest isnt that hard - when i did it we had a 48 hunter, a 50 warrior, a 47 pally, a 44 hunter and a 45 rogue and noone even came close to dying (until the priest at the bottom and that was just plain unlucky).

The best strategy as mentioned before is to go after the elites as a priority. Also, stay off the steps and make sure you are pvp enabled because one of Bly's people is a healer who will spend the entire fight healing you if you are pvp enabled. Unfortunately for me the troll priest's first 2 spells went critical and killed me outright (i was the rogue) but the other 4 guys owned and then rezed me. At the bottom talk to the goblin first and then Bly. He will attack but after the priest he and his cronies will be child's play.

Zul'Furrak is the best place for rogues ever - you get the mason's ring and the sandstalker ankleguards are a frequent drop from the named guy in the early parts of the instance.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

what level can you get this quest? this ring would be amazing on a 39 rogue twink

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had read the posts here and on Thottbot talking about how the fight could be skipped and tried everything but could never get it to work. Finally after failing three times, we finally succeeded on the fourth attempt with a group of 48+ people including a mage spamming arcane explosion. However after doing multiple runs afterwards I have come to think that this quest is either extremely buggy, badly designed, intentionally made tricky by Blizzard, or some combination of those three.

I had talked to some people who managed to bypass the troll fight so I knew the posts here and on Thottbot weren't just hot air, but didn't know why it never worked for us. Now I think I have finally realized why. After you beat off the waves of trolls the goblin will blow the wooden gates leading up to Chief Sandscalp and you can fight him (he drops some really nice plate shoulders and a staff btw). Seeing as how it would be ridiculous to have to defeat the waves of trolls every time a group did the instance just so they could get to the Chief, I believe it was intentionally made so that the troll fight can be bypassed only by someone who has already completed the quest (presumably the "hard way"). Of course I can't be 100% sure of this but I tested it on two consecutive runs and it worked flawlessly both times. Here is what you need to do:

First, you obviously should have someone in the group that has already completed the quest. After you get to the top of the pyramid, kill the executioner and the basilisks but don't bother to loot his body. Have the person who has already finished the quest go and talk to the goblin. Rather than simply saying "If you let me out I can blow open the gates" like he does to everyone else, there will be a clickable dialog option to just ask him to do it. You don't need the key or anything (in fact using the key will automatically trigger the mass troll spawn), he will magically run out of his cage and do his business. Then you want to have the same person talk to Bly. Again rather than him saying "Get me out of here and I'll give you whatever you want" there will be a clickable option to ask for the Rod right then and there. He will say a few things then get out of his cage and turn aggro to your party, and you can slaughter him on the spot. You can also click on the rest of his expedition members if you want to fight them and they will exit their cages. By doing it this way you can avoid a lot of headaches and death trying to fight the massive waves and have a simple way of getting up to Chief Sandscalp on future runs.

Anyays, that's my 2 cents, hope this helps you guys.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had an awesome group (me/warrior, two rogues, another warrior and a druid).
One of the rogues had been through it before and/or heard about it.
We did it the old-fashioned way: we kicked butt and didn't take the wussy way out.
The main goal is to keep Bly alive during the troll fight and go after the elites (when you can spot them in the mayhem) first.
THEN, you follow the NPCs downstairs when they go down. Bly will say something to the affect of "You backstabbed us? After all we've been through? Oh well." and starts attacking. Kill him, Raven, and the little woman that looks like Dr. Ruth. :)

This quest is evil, you have to fight 3 or 4 waves of trolls, thankfully, not elite, but you ARE gonna need a good healer =)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I have heard that if you enable PVP then one of the NPCs will heal you in the fight. I've already completed this and don't plan on doing it again but if someone can try it and confirm that, I'm sure others would appreciate it!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Yeah, also, i just did this, and they were all waiting at the bottom, we were healing up to fight them when... the hearthed.. -_-

so hurry up and do stuff fast. lol

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i think this quest became buggy after the patch. we can open only one of the cages and the key disappears and fight won't start. does anyone have info about this?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I went through with a Warrior - 48, Mage - 46, Druid - 47, Hunter L-48 and ME A Paladin L-45(I dinged 46 on the pyramid). I took care of main healing and only lost our mage twice. Bad situation where he rushed and we were all max kill on one boss. Anytime I was only healing no one was below 25% health, ever. The Druid back up healed and things were fine.
We absolutely blew it on the scenario following the temple battle. The troll waves were punks. We wiped them easy. Only harry part was when the mage was in the middle of mob. I had to Divine Favor and Holy Shock him to save his life. NOTE: If you are a mage, use range spells and have some mana potions to bring you up in a fight, you're not a melee fighter. I accept the roll as healer and stay back as much as possible, despite wanting to mix it up and I get to whack away every now and then. So any way none of us but one knew to talk to the NPC's and they left while we were figuring out who got the loot from the drop. As the NPC's were leaving that ONE person in the group was trying to get everone to talk to them but we didn't get it done and no boss from inside the gates. That sucked.
I'll be doing this one again. I started the Instance with like 10 or so gold in my backpack. When I went to bed after the 3 quest turn ins and sale of crap picked up I had about 25 gold. Most party members left Troll Sweat, so I picked it up. MOBs drop silk and mageweave cloth. Bandages sell go about 1-2 Gold on my server, so those might still be in the AH.

I ended up using the ring well into level 60 on my arms warrior. Finally replaced it with Julios from AV.

Комментарий от xLunacyx

The goblin aggroed a bunch of trolls on the side so group went to go save him so he could open the door, but by time we finished killing the trolls the npc group started hearthing and we were too late to speak to Bly.

Комментарий от GhostGhost

Once you free him from his cage he and his allies will help you with waves of trolls that come up the stairs (only if you let the mobs get to the top of the stairs)

Once cleared talk to the goblin first.

Then once the goblin blows the door up you can talk to bly to start combat with him and the rest of his allies.

Kill him and loot the rod.
