Almost impossible to get a group for this one to do it at the proper level given the rarity of the glowing pendant drop and the lack of incentive to grind Shadowhide gnolls. He's got a succubus, a caster, and a melee fighter with him. Bring a high-level friend.

Comment by Sly99

Part of long quest line, pretty tough, DO NOT attempt alone.

reward isnt that special if your not a preist or any other class that uses cloth.

First of all, you don't have to get the Glowing Pendant to start the questline. You can start it at the Tower of Azora before hand.

Secondly, he also summons a level 30 Abomination (Undead). The summon has a cast time I noticed but I am not sure if it's interruptable or not. When I did it most recently, it was him, a succubus, and 2 Shadow Caster Gnolls.

We 2 manned him... Druid and Shaman. I (druid) tanked while the shaman healed, dropped totems, and auto-attacked my target.

Not sure what sly is saying, i EASLY solo him at 35 hunter, and the first time i went to that tower for earlyer part of that quest i went to the top and pwned him then too. He is only 27 not elite or anything. It was a joke of a fight for my 35 hunter.

After you kill him go back to the tower in elwynn forest to finish quest.

I beat him solo as a level 30 prot paladin. Use Shadow Resistance Aura to reduce damage from the shadow caster gnolls and the succubus. I killed the gnolls first, then the succubus, and then Morganth was fairly easy after I had healed up. Seal and Judgement of Light can be useful if he summons the Abomination and you're on low health/mana.

Easily Soloable as a 32 Orc Rogue. Saped 27 elite, killed succubus with cheapshot to start. 4 point sclice and dice downed other 2 adds just ass sap wore off and soloed 27 elite.
Dual Deadly Poisons.

This Quest actually begins at Theocritus at the tower of Azora, it is available from him after completing "Looking Further" http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=248

Morganth is at

He's not just lvl 27...he's lvl 27 elite. So call your friends or find a group cause you'll need help because he has 2 gaurds, a pet, and right before he dies he summons a ogre

Please don't rate because i'm trying to post every single quest so I have them in my lightheaded addon Thank You.

lol. I jumped on my hunter which is a lvl 70 and cleared the tower. Jumped on Mage and waited for respawn, Shadow Maw spawned. Killed and looted him than Morganth spawned with his minion. pyroed him. Frost nova down to freeze minion. Killed Morganth. Looted him before dieing by two other things.

Comment by ZombiePope

If you have difficulty soloing the quest the "real" way, you can easily solo it using 2 deaths & corpse runs:

Run into the tower, die.
Run back, ress on the safe spot on the top floor. (There are 3 packs on the top floor, but you can safely spawn out of aggro range from all of them.)
Kill Morganth. Ignore the adds, just kill him. Use cooldowns, burn your whole mana bar, whatever, just get him dead before his adds kill you. Loot the pendant, then die.
You can now run back, ress on the top floor, and hearth out. Or, you can spirit ress and run west into Elwynn to turn the quest in.

This is a classical run-die-run-die-run Blizzard quest (damn sadists). If you know beforehand you can not handle 3 mobs of around level 25, then save yourself some time and proceed about it as intended (running and dieing), it will be faster in the end.

Comment by flymolo21

Hard even on 30, almost died but a 70 came from nowhere and saved me.

Had 20 health at the time.

Thank you lvl 70 :)

Comment by shonen

Solo'd on lvl 25 with a paladin. Burned him down as fast as possible and actually got away! Lifeblood is a big plus here, ignore the adds and go mad on him, loot and run/die.

Comment by savagy

As a level 33 Dwarf Hunter this gave me:

- 1250xp
- 250 rep with SW

Comment by 236993

solo'd as a 26 frost mage. Used 1 mana pot at the end to finish last add. Killed him and his 3 adds. Sheeped a caster, turned on icy veins, frostbolted him down then took out the other adds one at a time.

Comment by iranou

This quest is similar to The Tower of Athalaxx in Darkshore - identical towers, lots of dark magic and a boss to kill at the top.. and they're both pretty difficult to solo at the "correct" level.

Comment by 181167

I manage to solo him and he's adds at lvl 25 as a Retri pally ...

Pretty easy actually, only healed my self 2 times and then he was dead ... 20 secs. after all of them were dead xD

Good luck ^^

Not a quest for shadowpriests. All of the mobs are pretty much shadow dmg resistance stacked. So your shadow spells does atleast half less even if not more.

Comment by 348480

Fun!

He has a Succubus, 4 Servant of Ilgalar and 4 Shadowhide Darkweaver spaced around the top floor.

I didn't know the capabilities of the Succubus, so I pulled the Servants and Drkweavers that were away from Morganth, then I took on Morganth's Succubus, then Morganth, then the other two Servants and Darkweavers. I didn't see the Minion of Morganth.

I did this with a level 25 Paladin that was pretty well geared, Diamond Hammer and Guardian Buckler. I only popped a Greater Healing Potion about 2/3rds of the way into the fight.

Easy as a level 30 rogue. Sap 1 gnoll, cheap shot Morganth. He's dead before he casts anything and the rest is cake. Too bad the reward is useless.

Comment by 88457

Speaking as a lvl24 Rogue:

Making your way up to the top floor can be harder than Morganth and his friends. There is an assassin on the inside of the tower entrance to watch out for. On the way up some mobs are closer to others than you might think, it's easy to body-pull an extra one whilst clearing the way, Evasion was useful for me here. At the top clear some room, kill Morganth first then tidy up the adds before coming back to loot.

Once at the top this is how I did it:

1. Got rid of the 2 extra packs on the top floor (sap the Darkweaver, spank the Servants, spank the Darkweaver)

2. Morganth pack consisted of Morganth, his Succubus, and 2 Darkweavers. Sapped one Darkweaver.

3. Went all out on Morganth. Used Evasion at the start, didn't bother kicking his summon. Morganth dead.

4. Vanished. This despawned his Succubus and the summoned Minion of Morganth.

5. Sapped one Darkweaver, killed the other, killed the sapped one.

6. Looted. Hearthstoned out.

They can fight back hordes of the Horde, maintain justice, and send forth warriors to distant lands but they aren't able to protect themselves from a gnoll warlock.

Either Stormwind is losing it's touch or this is Hogger's step-brother.

General Fangore drops the key you need to enter the tower

Comment by Theodicus

As of the new patch 4.0.3a - this npc does not spawn or can be located in the Tower of IIgalar. I spent 30+ minutes in the tower and npc didn't show. submitted a ticket to GMs.

Comment by 239542

I finally got a quest (about 36 quests in to my redridge achievement) called "The Dark Tower" it was deep into a quest chain where you save the 4 guys in Alpha Company. This allowed me to get the key of ilgalar and open the door to the tower.

having finally obtained the key I thought I would be able to complete "Morganth" ...

When I looted the key it completed the quest "the dark tower" and it started a quest called "the grand magus doane" At the top of the tower was Grand Magus Doane only

Morganth is no where to be found like the 2 previous posters mentioned. This quest appears broken at this time.

Comment by Ringkeeper

if you give back the Quest "The Grand Magus Doane" the Quest mit Morganth gets automatically deleted.

Comment by 713030

ive completed the quests up to "The Grand Magus Doane" i confronted him but he ports out when damaged so i never get the drop....

the ncp comes back later in the quest chain as Darkblaze, a dragon. still no shadow pendent.

Morganth

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Defeat Morganth.

Bring his Pendant of Shadow to Theocritus at the Tower of Azora in Elwynn Forest.

	Pendant of Shadow (1)

Description

After much observation, I have discovered Morganth's plans.

He searches for the Scythe of Elune...and he may have found it! If he has, then the Redridge Mountains, and the kingdom of Stormwind, will soon feel his dark might.

I am not prepared to pit myself against Morganth, but I fear he must be dealt with now. So you must enter the Tower of Ilgalar and face Morganth.

Defeat him, and bring me his Pendant of Shadow. Do this, and the kingdom will owe you much.

Rewards

You will receive:

	Rose Mantle

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

250 reputation with Stormwind
