If you're willing to get hit in the face and watch your pet die a couple of times, this is completely soloable as a hunter. The eggs are just inside the first two pulls; the very first patrolling two-pull can be separated with freezing trap and killed separately, and the three-pull that follows can be avoided by misdirecting them to your pet and running past. Immediately to your left once you enter the room beyond that group is a deep, web-covered pit. Run all the way to the back of the pit and feign death there; you'll be able to stand up, res your pet, and bandage/drink/whatever safely there.

At that point, you can repeatedly body-pull Krik-thir's adds, feign death to make them and the Gatewatcher despawn, then run around smashing eggs for thirty seconds until they respawn, before repeating the process.

Why you would want to do this when you can get a five-man group for Azjol-Nerub easily, I don't know. But it's a fun little display of huntardation if you enjoy that kind of thing.

The "side" says alliance, but it is actually both.

Comment by Niknok

For rogues, this is very easy to sneak in and grab the eggs. Did it as 73 with no problems. There was a single patrol on the initial incline, extremely easy to get past with distract. Crossing the center of the first room for the eggs on the opposite side was equally as easy.

Comment by Daskies

You can do this 2-at-a-time as a Druid. Did it as a 73 Druid with no stealth talents.

Go down the ramp, and to the right. There will either be one or two very far away. If there is one on the other side there should be another far away. Be careful, and you might want to take off your gear.

If you're an herbalist there is also an herb spawn on the right you can grab if it's on top of a pack.

Comment by Scoobie

There is 4 eggs at the back the co-ords are 25.91, 50.90
I stealthed to this locaction but if you cant stealth i wouldnt advice it unless there is a big group as there is a few elites ( 4 lvl 72-73s and the big 74 also )
you also get 41500 xp too :D

I'm guessing here, but what seems likely to me is that the quest was first uploaded by an Alliance character on beta, and some quirk of the programming caused subsequent uploads by Horde characters to be discarded as containing no new information, despite the "new information" that the quest can be taken by Horde as well. The prevalence of quests with this bug toward Alliance could be explained by a swift Wowhead user who ran around picking up a lot of the quests in beta and uploading quickly, who happened to play Alliance.

But of course this is all just guessing. *shrug* It'll get fixed eventually, anyway. I notice this particular quest is already fixed, though there are a few others that still say Alliance (unless I'm remembering wrong and they've all been fixed by now...).

Submitted a screenshot to show the appearance of eggs. Any unit using stealth or feigning techniques should be able to sneak past the simple patrols to get to a pack of three eggs on the right side. Enter the instance, descend the ramp while avoiding the patrol and, once you're in the first "major" room (which has a named), hang a hard right along the wall. There are three exposed eggs ripe for destroying. There are a couple others available, but these tend to be the easiest.

Exit and reset the instance as necessary. Good luck!

Comment by Merryjayne

Would be useful if someone who has done the quest that is NOT a rogue, hunter, druid (i.e. someone that can solo it) could provide some info and suggestions.

As a healadin, the above it not very useful for me. Not that I'm knocking your suggestions. As they are useful for those in your classes, but not so much for me...

Anyone?

thanks,

I have soloed this with my Holy priest.

To get past the first patrol, you have to go about half way down the ramp on the right hand side and stand against the invisible wall. Wait until the first two spiders walk by. (kind of near where the glowing golden egg is.)

After passing those two, head on down to the next room and hug the left hand wall. Once there, you should be able to crack one or two of the eggs.

Reset the instance, rinse and repeat.

Comment by Maurtras

Went in on my 73 rogue (subtlety) to solo this quest. The first patrol was easily passed w/o Distract. The first 3 pull I distracted and got by with ease. There was an egg to the right, easily broken w/o aggroing any mobs. There was an egg between 2 pulls, I was able to break it and vanish which despawned the boss and his adds making the eggs around him/them easily breakable before they respawned.

Any night elf can solo this by heading in all the way to the back of the room and shadow melding to deaggro (yes i just made up a new word) the mobs and then easily get this quest done.

There really is no reason to do it this way when it is much easier for people to simply get a group and do this quest with others but hey if you don't like people then here's another thing you can add to the "i can solo it by doing x, then y, then z" list

Most likely need level 74 to avoid agro from the first patrol. Also note that eggs spawn in erratic locations. Optimally there's some that spawn in the ditch on the left side as you go into the room. Also appears that you'll have to die in order to get out. Paladins have the option to bubble and run but also Holy Wrath is good for a 3s stun as the enemies are all undead.

Using coords Scoobie gave, "There is 4 eggs at the back the co-ords are 25.91, 50.90", this can be soloed by a mage using invisibility or, technically by anyone using an invisibility potion.

Has anyone else tried this quest since 3.2? I just ran this instance and the eggs were not clickable at all, we reset the instance and still nothing.

Comment by 30736

Also soloed with a 72 Prot pally. 17k hp, 527 def (blues and crafted wotlk greens).

72 druid solo

First get the quest, enter the instance, shift to cat and prowl. Hug either wall to pass the first set of mobs, after you pass them move to the left side of the tunnel & just before you get to the 2nd set of mobs you will be able to slip under the lip into a crawlspace. Just inside you will see 2 eggs, position yourself as far from the eggs, opposite side from the 2nd group of mobs, and you can break prowl & get both eggs agro free. Stealth and, staying under the lip, walk towards the boss. You will see 4 more eggs just up on the platform, you can climb up to them in stealth from the front of the platform, still under the lip & get all 4 with no agro. The entire process takes about 4min. I was able to do this @72 as soon as I got the quest. *when you go to break the 2nd egg at the first location you will be deadly close to agro range, so be extremely careful, if you do agro make sure to break it before you die.

Don't Forget the Eggs!

Kilix the Unraveler in the Pit of Narjun wants you to enter Azjol-Nerub and destroy 6 Nerubian Scourge Eggs.

	Nerubian Scourge Eggs Destroyed (6)

Description

Throughout Azjol-Nerub, the scourged nerubians carefully nurture eggs that will soon hatch, providing them even greater numbers.

It would do little good for the caverns to be cleansed of the undead that stain them if these fouled eggs were left to hatch and take their place.

As you explore the expanse that was once Azjol-Nerub, be sure to clear our ancient home of any scourge eggs you find.
