This is one of the coolest quests i have ever done, soloed it a lvl 20, not too much of a problem for a rogue, if you remember to use your special ability's. I was alchemy herbalist atm and had a high first aid skill. So if you don't have any pots or bandages, this might be harder.

Here is a list of things not to forget:
Have a high lock picking skill for this quest, think the lock box at the end requires 75 skill. You can train your lock picking skill in an earlier rogue quest.
Remember sap, and gouge. Gouge + bandage is very usefull if you have improved sap
Gallywix is weak to ambush, so start off with an ambush, even if you miss he will start the fight at 50 % HP.. Very important.
All the mobs has weeknes to one of your attacks, i cannot remember whom at the moment, but i do remember that i found out a few of them after i did the quest. So possible to do it without.
Also at the first mobs in the bottom of the tower, sapping one, nuking the other when he dies (the other one is probably long out of his sap now) vanish, eat up and take the other one. They are not a "linked respawn" if i can call it that. Leaving one of them alive dosen't mean the other one will respawn instantly.

After you are done, you will get a 7d duration poison, get a druid or a shaman to remove this, but you should still complete the quest to remove it, as it will teach you how to create and use poisons on your weapons, witch is very useful,

That was all i can remember for now, long time since i did this quest :)

Good luck and have fun. (i actually recommend rolling a horde rogue alt just for this quest, it is ALOT of fun!)

i don't see how you can solo this at lvl 20.
the mobs you need to kill are lvl 24, 25 and have HIGH detection of stealth.
you cannot even go near to sap these mobs.

i grouped with a lvl 24 twink rogue to do this, because i saw his corpse front of Gallywix's body, which i assumed he couldn't soloed it. (btw, only one person loot his head so, if your grouped, you better kill him twice)

anyways, the above poster forgot one more thing.
to get the Silixz's key, all you have to do is pick pocket him.
this guy does not have much stealth detection as the mobs inside of the tower.

Finished this 15minutes ago with my non twinked lvl21 rogue. I had trouble killing 2 Mutated Venture Co. Drone on the ground floor so I stealthed up leaving them for the end (what a mistake).
Killed Lookouts, Patrolers and Gallywix with no problem with health recharge brakes. And then got poisoned.
Damn! The bloody thing not only lowers your agility by 15 but it stripps your stealth ability so you get detected easily. Died 2 times .... then needed 45minutes to find someone to cure me.
Got back and finished what I started.
Doable solo at lvl21 just have faith and use your abilities! Gl.

* To get the key from Silixiz, pickpocket him. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn, then do it again.

* First floor: Mutated Drones. Ambush will instakill them. If you're alone, ambush one, run, then come back and ambush the other.

* Second floor: Patrollers. Rupture works very well here and takes off an abnormal amount of life.

* Third floor (outside): Lookouts. Eviscerate (even a one-point eviscerate) will transform them into green slimes that are easier to kill.

* Fourth floor: Gallywix. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. If you're level 20, bring a friend -- he hits hard. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

This is entirely doable solo at 20 if you're mildly twinked and remember to use the weaknesses of each mob. Being 22 would help of course seeing as you have access to skills like distract and vanish.

Some notes of my own to add to the above post:

- Part 1, Pickpocketing
Make sure to approach Silixiz from behind and use pickpocket as far away as possible (5 yd range), otherwise he's sure to detect you. Kill him afterwards, both as a courtesy to the next rogue coming to do the quest and in order to avoid him aggro'ing on you in case you have to run away during the rest of the quest.

- Part 2, Mutated Drones
This seems to be the hardest part. Be very careful and only approach one of them when they turn their backs to you and spam ambush till it connects (their stealth detection is insanely high). Then run till you drop aggro and do the same with the other one.

- Part 3, Patrolers
These mobs are weak to rupture, but they're very easy to kill even without it. Probably the easiest part, just good ol' hack n slash works on these guys.

- Part 4, Lookouts
Nothing else to say about them really... just get that 1 CP as fast as possible and immediately Eviscerate. Very easy to kill that way.

- Part 5, Gallywix
Make sure to have Evasion and healing potions ready and not cooling down before engaging. Open with Ambush to drop him to 50% health, then immediately pop Evasion (he hits very hard, you don't want to waste a moment without it up) and just hack away. Pop a healing potion if necessary. If you're close to dying, make sure he's facing away from the stairway entrance. Didn't try this myself, but supposedly if you die with him facing the stairs, he'll stay in that position when he resets making it nearly impossible to ambush him without being detected.

Another note:
You do ABSOLUTELY want to use Ambush in the parts that recommend it and you need a dagger in your main hand for that. If you've been using two swords up to this point, get a dagger for this quest. Even if it's a level 1 grey one, doesn't matter, you can just switch to your usual weapon right after you Ambush. Also, be sure to get your dagger skill up to a decent level, you don't want your Ambush to miss.

I just attempted this with my 21 Bloodelf, I guess everything was changed in the expansion because Ambush is NOT oneshotting the drones and i have a 13.7 dps blue dagger. The patrollers were lvl 22 and easy, rupture did normal damage, the lookouts were 23, 1 point evis did normal damage but they were easy enough, In the 4 times i fought Gallywix my ambush crit every time but was only for 115+ and it effected him normaly. I ended up having a 30 rogue help me kill him. I used an Anti venom made with FA to get the poison off me.

So from now on get a group it seems

Comentado por 17661

I've just tried it together with an Blood Elf. The weaknesses worked fine for me, but not for my friend. Checked it with other people. Only bloodelves have this problem. If you're a Blood Elf, just try to wait for another race of rogue to show up, just whisper lvl 20/21 rogues if you can. The boss at the top only drops one head at a time, wait for him to respawn and do it again if you have 2 rogues. The chest repops fast enough.

The mutated drones are easy if one rogue steps forward and pulls them, then runs away, and the other rogue ambushes one of them while he passes. One of themm euch damage, and their running range is short enough not to require sprint. Only sprint if the ambush misses. Rinse and repeat.

Comentado por Flanker

I just did this quest too on my level 23 Blood Elf, and I had the same problems as the above guys. Ambush did nothing to the mutated drones, rupture did not work on the Patrolers, and Gallywix was normally affected by my Ambush. I died twice before I got a friend to help me through it. He has a 60 UD Rogue as an alt, and he was surprised too since this worked just fine for him when he did it.

I was able to get the key fine, also the guy does still have high stealth detection.

As for after the quest, the poison did no damage to me (friend reported no damage as well), just reduced agility by 15. Everything else seemed fine, just the special attacks didn't work on the enemies as they normally appear to (and that kind of breaks the quest).

Pre-reqs: You'll need a locking picking skill of at least 85 (might as well get 100) in order to complete the next quest, so I would recommend doing the Plundering the Plunderers (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=2381) quest to get your skill up to 100 before completing the next quest. You will also need to complete “Deep Cover” (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=2458) in order to talk w/ the questgiver. Otherwise, he is ?? red and will attack you.

Location: The tower is right next to the quest giver (55,6).

IF YOU ARE A BLOOD ELF: The next quest in the chain is bugged and the weaknesses described above don’t work and it is impossible to solo until about lvl 25. I just completed this by grouping with another non-Blood Elf rogue. I just did a "/who 20-21 rogue" and whispered any non-BE players if they did the poison quest yet. Found an undead rogue who hadn't and invited him to group. Walked him through the steps (as outlined above) and he was able to take them out fine

Instructions above about weaknesses are accurate. I’ll simply summarize quickly.

1- (outside on the left) You need to pickpocket the key from Silixiz. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn. He only gives one key per respawn. To be nice to the next guy, I would kill him after you have the key.

2- (First floor): Mutated Drones. Key Ability: Ambush kills them in one shot. You can ambush one, sprint away. Then come back and ambush the other.

3- (Second floor) Patrollers. Key Ability: Rupture takes off extra damage.

4- (Outside - third floor): Lookouts. Key Ability: Eviscerate turns them into weak oozes. A one pointer will transform them into green slimes that are easy to kill.

5- (Top floor) Gallywix. Key Ability: Ambush. It does 50% of his health in damage. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. You might have to gouge/bandage and pop evasion to finish him, but he is killable at 20. If you wait till 22, you can Ambush then vanish and Ambush again. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

IF GROUPED: When you group w/ someone else who has this quest, you have to each pickpocket the key off Silixiz and each loot the dead body of Gallywix for the head. This means that you have to:
a) pickpocket the key
b) kill Silixiz and wait for the respawn
c) pickpocket the key again for the 2nd player (repeat for next guy)
e) after killing Gallywix only have 1 of you loot the body and chest (you'll need to wait for respawn and kill him again and whoever loots will get the poison debuff)

DONT LOOT THE CHEST UNTIL YOU HAVE THE HEAD. You will get a 7 day debuff that lowers agility and makes it easier to detect you in stealth. If you have to come back for Gallywix with the debuff, you are going to get spotted pretty easily when you try to amush.

I soled with 20 Rogue too. I did die a couple times till I got it right. Just follow the above instructions and you too can do it at 20. I am a bit twinked too. Crusader saved my ass against Gallywix.

This quest IS soloable. I soloed it as a level 20 orc rogue.

First I pickpocket the dude outside, after that I went into the tower and pulled one of the level 25 mobs out, and killed them one by one. Riposte was an adventage. Walked up and killed the lookouts and the patrolers pretty easy.

Then I walk up to Gallywix with some really sucky pots on me ;) (Think it was +4str and +50 armor, everything helps lol). Then I ambushed the dude and killed him pretty slow with all my cooldowns and gouge as often as I could. Had to pot AND bandage, and I had to try a couple of times. Ended the fight with pretty low health, so I guess I was a little lucky aswell.

Comentado por CurtisTheGreat

BTW, a good thing to do here is after you loot the chest, delete the quest item you looted and the box will respawn.

Keep doing that until your lockpicking is maxed! Great way to level your lockpicking quickly. I went from 90 to 120 in about 3-4 minutes.

Comentado por 45652

Impossible for a non twinked bloodelf rogue on lvl 22. Ambush has no special effect on these mobs, which make the quest difficulty insane.

Comentado por 14845

If you manage (like I did) to find a group, killed all the mobs in the tower, slayed the elite guy only to find out your lockpicking skill is too low... do not worry. Just grind your skill (a pirate ship near Ratchett is a good place), come back, sneak up to Gallywix and... sap him. He is sappable and thank heavens for that. Open the chest, loot the poison and run like you never did before.

I also confirm that vulnerabilities are still not working for Blood Elven rogues.

Comentado por 39655

I got lucky and managed to solo Gallywix as a level 23 BE rogue. I'm not twinked either. It took 3 tries and a healing potion each time. Having Ghostly Strike was a big help. I got the head then discovered that I couldn't open the chest. Now I'm angry. :P So, yeh, make sure your lockpicking is high enough before doing this quest.

Comentado por 22568

If you have the -stealth debuff(Zanzil's Poison), it is impossible to sneak up on the Grand Foreman. However there is a bug that lets you jump up through the floor right next to the foreman. If you have good timing, you can get an ambush off on him. Hope this helped.

Comentado por 16642

I find this kinda odd Jimmi since a GM comfirmed that the vulnerabilities has been removed from the game.. I'm gonna test it myself and comfirm it..

Comentado por 52966

Just did this quest without dieing or no help, im a lvl 22 BE rogue subtlety spec. only used one healing potion, my friend had the same problem with the vulnerabilities not working for him but he found another way, he used exposed armor on the first level of the tower, and his dots on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and on the top floor used his slice and dice ability with like one or 2 points, course healing when you need it, buy some time with the gouge ability and use a bandage to heal, and dots help a little too.

Comentado por Cliso

Ok, I'm having a major problem with this quest. I have killed everyone in the tower, killed the guy at the top and took his head and even got the chest opened. All I need now is the key from picking his pocket. I've tried 3 times, and every time I go to do it, it tells me he has no pockets to pick. So I killed him again, then waited for him to respawn, then tried it again, and still tells me no pockets to be picked. Any help here would be great.

Pickpocketing Sillixiz may be hard when your level 20 cos he can see you in stealth. Just group with someone else, and have Sillixiz engage him, remain in stealth and pickpocket him :)

Comentado por Cliso

That isn't the problem I was having. I'm lvl 23 anyways, but it kept telling me " No Pockets To Pick". So I abandoned the quest, and going to try again like the GM told me to do.

Comentado por Thottbot

how do you cure the poison if i havent completed quest yet and need the key but cant get to him because of the poison?

Comentado por Thottbot

I just did the quest, and some people have inaccurate information. Just to clarify:

* To get the key from Silixiz, pickpocket him. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn, then do it again.

* First floor: Mutated Drones. Ambush will instakill them. If you're alone, ambush one, run, then come back and ambush the other.

* Second floor: Patrollers. Rupture works very well here and takes off an abnormal amount of life.

* Third floor (outside): Lookouts. Eviscerate (even a one-point eviscerate) will transform them into green slimes that are easier to kill.

* Fourth floor: Gallywix. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. If you're level 20, bring a friend -- he hits hard. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

Comentado por Thottbot

Some of this overlaps with the above but I'll go into more gory detail about soloing this --

Requirements
If you're going to solo this, I would recommend waiting until lvl22. I believe the others who testifed they soloed this at lower levels, but I find that vanish and distract are *extremely* helpful here for every level of the tower and particularly for Gallywix, and also being able to have a healing potion (lvl22 req, just buy one from the AH) helps a lot.

Get your lockpicking skill up to 100 (or at least 80) from the ship in the "Plundering the Plunderers" quest. It's kinda boring repeatedly picking the lockboxes but there's no reason not to max out your skill... I just looked over my quests and read a newspaper while clicking alternately on two boxes...

Be sure your equipment is repaired because you will probably die repeatedly (I died 7 times and yes I did read all the comments here beforehand so it was just a matter of execution).

Get lots of flash powder for vanish.

Get a few healing potions or at least lesser healing potions.

Make sure ambush, eviscerate, stealth, vanish, distract, pickpocket, expose armor, rupture, evade are on your toolbar because you'll need all of them.

On dying
One important note is that if you die in the tower, you can resurrect on any floor... not sure if this is obvious to everyone. This allows you to bypass some of the respawned monsters that you've already killed and start right where you left off.

Silixiz key
I had no trouble stealing the key from him using distract with my lvl22 with 2 points in Master of Deception talent. If he has no key, kill him and then come back later, maybe do the goblin quests nearby while you kill time.

First three levels
Ambush, rupture, eviscerate the first three levels as others have mentioned. For the first level, distract to get them to face away from you, ambush one and then either run/vanish then ambush again, or 1on1 the other. For the next two levels, distract, sap one then kill the other, or just take both of them on. You can always use up your vanish or evades here because you're probably not going to get through the whole thing without dying at least once, and remember the next time you resurrect you can bypass whatever you've already killed.

Gallywix
I had a lot of trouble sneaking up on him. When I went up the stairs, he was staring right at me, so I couldn't even get line of sight to distract him away from me without getting aggro'd. A trick I found is that he tends to keep looking in the direction he was facing when he killed you last. So I just made sure he was facing away from the stairs (i.e. looking right out the tower) when I died, then the next time I could get behind him to distract and ambush.

If you ambush - vanish - ambush, he's deadmeat since each is triggered to take off 50%. Even if you only get one off (e.g. if he sees you when you're coming up the stairs before you ambush), it's still no big deal. If you put on evasion, start off with a 4+ point expose armor, and use a healing potion, you should be able to kill him reasonably. This means you don't really need vanish either, in case you used it up earlier -- you can just stealth up and ambush him, then fight as normal. Note that if you try the ambush-vanish-ambush method, you don't have much time after you vanish before he pops back to max health! Immediately ambush him once you've vanished.

Of course don't get the chest until after you've completed the quest. The first time I went up the stairs, someone else had killed Gallywix and I opened the chest, and got poisoned. It at least lowers your agility, I'm not sure what else (some others above claim it lowers stealth). So actually I had to kill Gallywix while poisoned :-b.

Comentado por Thottbot

This quest was darn easy as a level 22 rogue if you learned Vanish!

All i did was get behind Silixiz and pick pocket him, didn't really bother killing him.. I killed the both Drones' patroling outside easily with Ambush and Eviscerate. Went inside Stealthed and Ambushed one of the Mutated Venture Co. Drones', Vanished and Ambushed the other one.

Next floor i used Gouge, Eviscerate and then Sinister Strike and Eviscerate again on both of them.. They died easily, next floor just use Eviscerate as it will turn them into a slime with less HP and less Armor making them easier to kill.

Now for the "Boss", when i got up there my Vanish had it's cooldown gone so i simply went into Stealth.. Stealthed behind Gallywix and Ambushed him, Vanished and Ambushed again *BOOM* dead in two hits..
Good Luck!

((Edit: Make sure you have at least 80 in your Lockpicking skill so that you can open the chest, and don't worry about the curse if you make sure to finish rest part of the quest you will get healed, get experience and of course learn how to make posions!))

Each floor has a "key" ability that finishes the guys off quickly, if not instantly.

First Floor

Ambushed one, vanished, ambushed the other.

Key Ability: Ambush kills them in one shot.

Second Floor

Ambushed one, ruptured him for the kill. Then I used Sinister Strike on the other and ruptured him.

Key Ability: Rupture slaughters these guys.

Third Floor

Sapped one, Sinister Strike then Eviscerate to turn him into ooze. Finished him off then killed the sapped one.

Key Ability: Eviscerate turns them into weak oozes.

Final Floor

Easiest floor. Don't get scared by the Elite title. Ambush him, vanish, ambush again. Dead.

Key Ability: Ambush. It does 50% of his health in damage.

There you go. I didn't notice anyone posting about Rupturing the second floor. I loved this quest... Just like a Rogue is suppost to be. Sneak in, kill, sneak out.

Comentado por Thottbot

Use what is stated in the yellow comments and additional:
- picking the key is easy. get to sizzle from the side and pickpocket him. No need for additional distraction
- guys at ground floor in the tower will die with 1 stroke of ambush, the other one can be delt with normally or by vanish and ambush again
- kill the guy on top, use all your skills (wait till they all are active again) or ambush, vanish, ambush
- I did this quest with lockpicking skills of 40 and could NOT open the chest :-((. go to the ship and get your skills up to at least 85 (i did 99)
- you will get the decease after you open the chest: use your anti-posion which you learn from 1st-aid.

as a rogue, you don't have to die as I did it 2 times and still was alive. (lvl 23)

Boss caused me some trouble, but i did it in the end with a little help from all the useable buffs u get from the boar in camp taurajo by turning in shadowstones. I also used a healing potion when i was at 30%. These 2 things made the fight quite easy. i just ambushed, used gouge right after, then i drank a thistle tea so i could backstap. I then used S&D;, evasion and gouge and backstap again.

Ok,for those many who get mixed up doing this quest series,this is how it goes:
1)At level 20 you get the quest from Shenthul in Orgrimar Cleft of Shadow.After he teaches you the /salute,you get the flare gun to signal Fizzule.
2)I STRONGLY advise waiting to level 22 to solo this.You WILL need distract and vanish.On a side note,whatever type of rogue you are,max out Master of Deception.Stealth witout it is plain and simple a movement impairing effect,nothing more.
3)At level 22,after learning distract and vanish (and buying flash powder duhh)go to the tower north of the Sludge Fen.Fizzule is 30 elite and has an aggro radius of a space radar.So as soon as you see him,pop you flare gun TWICE and wait for him to turn green.Approach,/salute,talk,take quest.
4)The Venture.co drones patrolling outside ARE NOT part of your quest and are not vulenerable to anything.Sneaking past them shouldnt be a problem.
Killing them is just a pain,since none of those mobs drop anything.
5)Pickpocket the goblin downstares.Again,not a problem with maxed Master of deception.If you dont get the key,kill him,wait for respawn then try again.
6)The Mutated Venture.co drones on the bottom floor are lvl 25 and WILL see through your Stealth.Distract,ambush instakill,vanish,repeat.
7)The 2 upper floors are easier.All mobs are level 22.Remember their weaknesses:2nd floor-rupture,third floor-eviscecrate.
8)Dont be scared by the elite.When i got to him,he was facing away from the stares.If you need,use distract.his weakness is Ambush (takes of 50% HP) so ambush-vanish-ambush again should be enough.Was for me.
9)Open the chest.You need a lockpick skill of at least 80.You WILL get poisoned from opening the chest and it is IMPERATIVE that you do all the quest in the correct order,as the poison will reduce your stealth efficency to zero.You cant sneak up on a damn sheep as long as youre poisoned.
10)Quest complete!Go back to Shenthul,and then go where he sends you-Tarren mill.The guy there will brew you a cure and teach you the poison skill.VERY IMPORTANT-stay in his house as he walks around playing with his chem-set,or you will not complete the quest.
11)Go back to Shenthul to train another poison.Like i said before,the poison reduces stealth efficency to zero (couldnt sneak past the lvl 19 Dalaran patrols on the road at lvl 22 with maxed MoD).If your on a PvP server,get a high lvl friend to escort you or just get FP beforehand.

P.S For some reason,the weaknesses of the mobs in the tower DONT work for bloodelf rogues.This has been confirmed and i hear blizz are working on it.
Bring friends,our little pointy-ear friends of the Horde.

P.P.S Ok i have just learned that anti-venom will remove Zanzil's Touch.That means you can have a paladin or shaman purge it off you or just use the First Aid anti-venom.I personnaly wouldnt screw around with it,as this quest is pretty long and quite bugged in many cases.Its better to get to Tarren Mill with the poison and remove it the way the game requires.

Did this at level 23 and my guild mate did it at 24 using the same method (he did it first ;))

Stealth up behind him and ambush him. You should take half his health. Instantly vanish and he should turn around again. Ambush him again and he should die.

Easy :)

Special attacks are not working for me unfortunately. I'm a lvl 22 BE rogue, and those mobs are not as much fun without the ability to insta-kill them. The key dropped at the first try though.

Are there any non BE rogues having the same problems ?

I paged a GM about it and got a response along the lines of "It is a known problem that the mobs aren't affected by special abilites and we are working on it. Sorry for the incovenience". The GM didn't say if the problem was BE specific. Hope this goes away soon.

Other than that, the quest was soloable for my lvl 22 rogue, even if I died once against the elite boss.

Did this at 22 with another 22 rogue, easy. Ambush instant kill the guards on the first floor, those on the third floor turns into a goo with low health after eviscerate (no matter how many combo points) and the elite boss lose 50% health after a ambush so either you do both ambush with help of vanish or just do one each. Was able to lockpick the chest on first try with 96 LP.

To kill Grand Foreman Gallywix i tried to ambush + vanish + ambush but he evaded on me, so i had to ambush then pop evasion and kill him, easiest way is just gouge backstab etc so he doesnt hurt you too bad. Solo'd this quest at 22 :)
Edit: Ambush does high dmg to Gallywix like the drones, but doesnt 1 hit him - it takes 50% hp

K I am 20 lvl troll rogue, did all the things there, didn't have any problem about pickpocketing that guy, I was with another lvl 20 rogue that distracted him and got the key. After that a friend with a lvl 24 warlock came and we kill them all in old fashion way. But....I have low lvl at picklocking :))) I have lvl 0, didn't do that yet. I didn't founded anywhere to do that, where can I go to make some lvl at picklocking?

As of Jan 19th 07 (tbc), none of these mobs had any weaknesses to the skills as posted below =/ Had a hard time soloing the Mutated Drones (25) at level 22, but the rest was fine even without any weaknesses.

I just did this quest with another rogue doing the quest as well. She picked the pocket of the guy, and then I tried. It turns out if he's already had his pocket picked, he no longer has the key! Kill him and wait for a respawn if picking his pocket does not work.

I tried to pick pocket silixiz but when the loot window opened there was nothing to take. Am I doing something wrong? I stealthed up behind him till pickpocket was in range then hit pickpocket, but no key to take. What gives?

Comentado por Allakhazam

I pickpocketed the key from Silixiz, my friend and I sliced our way to the top of the tower, killed the elite, I looted his head, but when I try to open the box it says, "it's locked." But I have the key, and the guy's head, and we even tried resetting the quest by talking to Fizzule again, and same result. What could be wrong?

You can also cure the poison yourself the moment you get it from the guy upstairs...just use the standard FA-"Anti-Venom", worked for me.

Did this as solo lvl 20 - and after i got the key i called upon a lvl 50 from my guild LOL - and did the rest, only i didn't get credit from one of the drones.

After completing the rest i went down and ambushed a drone - killing the poor thing in 1 blow - didn't actually think that could happen :)

Very difficult quest at 20.

I had to get a level 23 to help me do it, as the mobs in the bottom of the tower saw me when I went in.

Without help you should wait until you have vanish to stand any chance.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Ok. Finally got (solo). Now level 27 BE, lol. Had nice blue dagger and blue sword from BFD quest.

Lockpicking went from 111 to 112.

On previous trips I killed everyone except Zanzil, who is elite.

Still no pickups on the kills.

Drones. Outside don't count. Kill 2 inside on bottom floor.

Lookouts are on third level.

Patollers are second level.

And Zanzil is on top floor of tower.

Good luck everyone... Should you choose to accept the mission. LOL.

By the way Zanzil poisoned me in fight with Touch of Zanzil. Lasts 7 days. Oh joy.

1950 XP at level 27. And the Thistle Tea recipe of course. Yeah. Requires Swiftthistle and refreshing spring water, 1x each.

By the way, poison vendor, Rekkul, next door to Shenthul sells flash powder.

Get new quest: Hinott's Assistance. Go see Serge Hinott in Taren Mill to learn poisions. He supposed to cure you of Touch of Zanzil.

It works.
It works as stated here.

Use Ambush on the drones.
Use Evisverate on the upper goblins.
Use Ambush on Gallywix.

I suggest having a healing potion and a thistle tea with you.

Do not use Garrote.

first floor: ambush( instant kill)
second floor: rupture (the first decrease it takes in health will kill it)
third floor: eviscerate ( turns to goo and takes almost all its life even if its only a 1 point eviscerate)

elite boss: ambush it'll take almost half his life then I hit evasion and SS, gouge backstabbed him to death.

this works alot better at level 22 when you have distraction. the first floor mobs saw me very easily
good luck

im doing the quest RIGHT now... and yea... ambush did nothing to him... lvl 25 BE rogue... bugged?

Comentado por Allakhazam

Just did this, and helped a 21 rogue at the same time, took like 5 minutes. You don't "have" to use the attacks specified by the way, it just makes it easier. With decent gear, you can drop them however you like.

Comentado por Allakhazam

When you go to get the key from Silixiz make sure you stealth and steal it from him. I killed him the first time and he doesn't drop it. Also you can pickpocket it with very low skill, I did this at level 20 with 80 lockpicking and it worked fine.

The guy in the top of the tower, forget the name, is a level 24 elite, so if you do this at level 20 like I did bring friends.

Last but not least, make sure you use the whistle from now on if you go near Fizzule, we aggroed him accidentally and got smoked for our trouble.

I just did that quest alone at level 20 without even reading here what attack to use where. I just took me few times to try some attack and run if it didn't work =). Only time I died was that elite up in the tower as I had evasion on cooldown(I died and that mob had about 5% health left). Also that's apparently my alt so I had some decent green gear and blue belt.

If you have already some higher level chars it should be doable alone at level 20 but if you are playing your first char then it might be too hard.

Thanks to all the advice from you guys here at Allakhazam, I am sure I'll pull it through.
But I have to say that there's no doubt about this quest being bugged. It IS bugged.

I remember trying to do it several months back with another char and at a nother server than the one I now play at. I couldn't get the key, and after several attempts I wrote a ticket.
In fact I ended up writing three tickets, and never once was it hinted to me that the quest was bugged. I always was left to feel I had done something wrong, but what I did wrong remained unclear.

It was very frustrating. And since I've always got sound and straight advice up til that point, I didn't suspect there could be other things to the issue than me having done something wrong.

I never finished the quest at the time. I moved to another server after having stalled my rogue's progress for some time - during which I focused on another char.

But tonight, after having received the quest again, and again finding that the foreman in front of the tower's southern entrance didn't seem to have the key that he is supposed to have, the whole matter and the frustration at the old server cane back to me.
And I dreaded the thought of having to get stuck with the whole thing once again.

What a relief to find so many posts and so much good advice!

To the BEs: I don't think the quest is bugged specifically for BEs. But your problems may take a little different turn, because your racials are different, and all races' strengths and weaknesses are different.
The quest is simply bugged, and that goes for everyone who happens to trigger them.

killed undead, killed galywix with a fellow rogue (20 and 21) only to find out the chest has a minimum lockpicking skill required of above 61 and under 84 (since he could pick it and i couldn't).
so make sure you have about 85 lockpicking skill before you mess with the guys inside the tower.

if the cchest says "it's lcoked" it simply means that you don't have the skill required to pick it.
you can try to pick it manually with the lockpicking skill button but you will only get a failure message in the end.
you can only pick locks by right-clicking them if you have the approriate skill, otherwise the gear coursor appears grey.

if silixiz doesn't have the key on him he got probably robbed out by another rogue before you came so you'll have to kill him once and wait for him to respawn with the key on him.
note that the key does not have anything to do with the chest

Whatever you do pick pocket the key FIRST.

I did this quest with another rogue so he got the first key and I decided to do the other parts of the quest first. The poison Touch of Zanzil will cause most NPCs to see through sneak. After 6 failed sneak attempts I'm currently waiting for a GM to verify this was "my fault".

Did it. Had problem trying to stealth to the guy (I did the others first) so I tryed to stealth up to the guy with the key but then he found me so I vanished then PP him :)

If anyone is having trouble finding the tower you're supposed to go to, it lies directly on the 'T' in 'The Sludge Fen' words on your map. Taskmaster Fizzule is a dwarf who stand over in the left bushes in front of the tower. I was expecting a goblin when I read the name Fizzule, so just so people know, they're looking for a dwarf.

Looting Silixiz is exceedingly easy. If you notice the 2 undead patrols who circle the tower, you'll find that they only do a semi-circle. When they're at the left side of the tower, quickly run in on the right side and get behind the tower. You're safe back here. Then slowly come around behind Silixiz and he won't even see you. (make sure the patrols are walking away from Silixiz before you go up to pickpocket him).

That's all I've done so far, I'm planning on doing the rest later tonight, hopefully all will go smoothly. I think I've got the basic idea after reading the tips people have posted here. ^^

Finished it at level 20. I had two level 25's help me, and another rogue with.

We did the everything but the key first.

Then we killed the key guy, and waited for him to pop. One of us stood behind where he pops, when we saw he was popping we clicked him and then selected pickpocket.

Then we got our key killed him and had the other rogue do the same thing.

Easy.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Our group had to kill Gallywix 3 times in order for all three rogues to get heads. There was also a problem where I was unable to loot the key from pickpocketing Silixiz (got an empty loot box), and I had to drop the quest then re-take it in order for the key to drop. Maybe it's because we were blood elves.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I'm trying to do this quest at 22. I've tried garrote, eviscerate and ambush on the bottom floor drones. Nothing worked. I was able to kill one and then get away, and when I came back for the other it was obviously bugging. The thing wasn't moving but it was still hitting me.
Ambush seemed to work on the lookouts. The patrollers I had to fight normally, since again, nothing worked.
I tried ambush on Gallywix, and only survived by jumping off the tower. I then had to sprint away from the drones on the ground.
What is the deal with this? Is it going to fix itself, or do I need to just bring in a higher-level to help me finish this quest? I really don't want to try Gallywix again unless I'm positive he's going to die.

I'm also a blood elf.

Just finished this quest as a lvl23 BE Rogue. As of today, for me, none of the attacks/moves performed as advertised in this thread. Could this quest be somehow bugged specifically for Blood Elves? I was able to finish the quest in any case because at 23 I could handle all of the mobs normally with a modest set of buffs (minor defense pot, +2 sharp on weapons) and the use of a health potion. But the big hit ambushes/rupture/eviscerates did not happen and any lvl 20 doing this solo in a bugged state is going to get slaughtered.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I did this quest at level 21. Im nothing special. 1st you should get the key because you dont have to worry about that poision. How ever , if you do get poisioned ( I did )go back to the crossroads and just have a shaman cure you and you can complete the quest. Thats what I did. You can ambush those drones and instantly kill them, work your way up the tower. I managed to single pull everything, very easy. I even soloed the last guy, I used 1 thristle tea and a healing potion. Then opened the crate. Took me about 2 hrs for this quest, running around and tryin to figure it out. Should have looked here 1st. Running to Taruen Mill also takes awhile. Just keep going south of the undercity, theres not much to worry about on the way there either.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I noticed that people who post here saying they are playing BE Rogues that cannot pickpocket the goblin. As of today, March 12th 2007, after one failed attempt (he resisted the first time) I was able to pick pocket the goblin and get the key.

I will report back on the mob killing later.

I believe it's just a matter of luck on picking the pocket.

Edit: Upon completion (with some help), the mobs didn't seem to need to die in any specific manner.

Just finished it at once as lvl 27 Rogue. The lookouts, drones, patrollers,... were very easy to handle, but the elite lvl 24 was pretty close. Also used a health-potion, or i would die.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I was quite stumped on this quest since I just got level 20 and wanted to get my poisons. I have to admit this quest was pretty fun when I figured it out.

Before you go, MAKE SURE your lock picking is about 85, I didnt and had to do this quest twice. If your lockpicking skill is low, go south of ratchet in the water is a pirate ship. In the ship are multiple chests that you can just keep opening over and over and over until about level 120 or so. I stopped at 100 because it was taking too long to level up, but this is the best place to get those levels, just make sure you are above 85 in lock picking.

First: stealth behind Silixiz and pick pocket him. If he doesnt have the key, kill him (make sure the 2 undead walking around the tower arent near, or pull him into the hills), and wait for his respawn to kill him again. Make sure he is dead for the next part regardless of whether you got the key on the first try or not.

Stealth into the hallway on the first floor of the tower. Do not enter the room or the two mutated level 25s will see you. If you agro one of them, you will agro the other, so run out of the tower as far as you need to in order to lose agro and try again. The idea is the sneak up behind the closer one and ambush him. Even if you are really low level, the ambush will instantly kill him ( my level 20 killed him no prob). If you dont get ambush off, run out until you lose agro and run back. Hopefully you killed silixiz otherwise he'll agro you too, and your chances to make it out alive are lessened. Once you ambush-kill the first mutated undead mob, run out with the other chasing you. You probably are too low to kill him, so lose agro, go back, and ambush him because he too will die in one shot from ambush.

Stealth up to the next floor, but stay on the steps so you dont get agroed by the two patrolling goblins. These two are pretty normal level 22s. ambush one without agroing the other, and pull him downstairs so the other one doesnt find you mid-fight. Kill the first one, rest, stealth, ambush the second and kill him right on floor 2 since nothing is left to agro. No special moves will do anything for these two patrolling goblins.

Stealth up and get to the third floor. There is a door leading outside to where the lookouts are. Try to get ambush off on the first one and pull him inside so you dont get agroed from the second one. Eviscerate ASAP because when you evischerate the lookouts, they turn into a green goo and their life gets halved. This is why I love this quest, highly original. Killing them one at a time should be no problem. Once you kill both, stealth and proceed to the top of the tower.

The level 24 Elite is standing there in all his glory with his back always facing you so ambushing is easy. If you are high enough (upper 20s), you can get away with soloing this guy. It's still tough though. Ambushing him instantly takes away half of his life, but he's still a pain(hits mostly between 100 and 120, at level 20 I only have about 580 life which means about 5 hits and im dead). Because I had to come back, and I had already killed him once, an alternative to killing him again if you made the same mistake as me is sapping him. He is a humanoid. What I did was sap him, get the chest, and RUUUUN. I made it out alive =). Only do this is you already killed him and got his head because you do need his head. A group of 3 level 20's should do the trick, or just 2 if one is a healer and the other is a rogue.

Hope this helps =)

Comentado por Allakhazam

This quest is easy at level 22, because you get 2 helpful talents: Distract and Vanish.

1. Pickpocket Sillixiz, if you can't do this, reroll to another class.

2. Stealth into the tower, distract the two mutated drones. Get behind 1 and Ambush him, he should instantly die. The other will aggro. Hit your Vanish skill, he will de-aggro. Go behind him and Ambush. He is now dead as well.

3. Go up through the next levels just picking off guards 1 by 1 without aggroing the whole floor.

4. This is tricky, for the Foreman. Stealth behind him, ambush, Sinister Strike, VANISH (he should immediately run back to his spawn point) VERY QUICKLY AMBUSH HIM AGAIN BEFORE HE REGAINS HEALTH. This should be enough to kill him.

5. Pick the lock (Need level 80 lockpicking). Apparently you are supposed to get infected with a poison, but it's broken for me. I just get stuck in a looting position.

Only one rogue can pickpocket the key (you need to be straight behind him), then you need to kill him for the key to reappear. Garrote insta-killed undeads.

Loot zanzil after doing the rest, chest applies posion: -50% stealth -15agi for 7 days. Quest giver tells you how to dispell the poison, but you may request from a shaman too. You will need 100 pick lock to open the chest (do the quest on the boat from ratchen first).

Too bad not doing this myself alone, seems doable at lvl 20. Use garrote against undead lvl 25 (it insta kills them), evasion, sap goblins, etc, you can kill them one by one if you are careful.

So satisfying to do things the hard way! I managed to solo it at 20, in greens and worse.

If you're less patient, it's a lot easier at 22 when you have better stealth and can Ambush + Vanish.

If you want to solo it at 20, I recommend a lot of patience, as you'll probably have several corpse runs, and the following:

Spec in Subtlety for improved stealth (Master of Deception Camouflage) - you'll need it for the level 25 guys on the first floor
Get a reasonable dagger and sword, and macros (see below) to swap them at need. I had Hook Dagger of Agility and one of Stamina (luxury!) and Sword of the Night Sky
Make sure your skill in swords and daggers and defense is 99 or better - don't want to miss your attacks on Gallywix
Level first aid up to 150, and get some Mageweave Bandage. You won't be able to make them, but you can use some if you get them from AH or a higher level player.
Anti-Venom if you want to cleanse the Touch of Zanzil
Get buff! I used buff food and lowbie "Minor" potions Defense, Agility, Fortitude, even Lion's Strength (every little bit helps!). I forgot to use Heavy Sharpening Stone. Mark of the Wild and Power Word: Fortitude would be great, too.
Healing Potion - I ended up not using it on my successful attempt, but used a bunch in previous attempts
Target Dummy can be really helpful to let you run away when you're being chased by multiple mobs
Slumber Sand to pause for a full bandage (much longer than Gouge)

Bring extras of your consumables, because you'll probably die multiple times, and have some ghost runs to think it through. You'll probably also burn through multiple aborted attempts ("run away!"), especially on the ground floor.

Pickpocket Sillixiz by carefully approaching him from behind, while the patrolling guards are far away.
Ambush the mobs on the first floor (level 25!) by waiting until they are facing away, running up and ambushing, then running away (probably popping Evasion and maybe healing potions to get away. Target dummy can be really helpful here, as you'll probably hit guards when running out of the tower. The mobs you're trying to sneak up on will probably see you several times, requiring multiple attempts before you get the Ambush off succesfully.
The second floor mobs are easy - opener for a combo point, then Rupture, then finish it off. Repeat.
Third floor is similar, though the mobs patrol outside, and you use Eviscerate instead of Rupture. Can sap one or just be patient to separate them. Turn on Enemy Nameplates and possibly add raid markers to help you keep track of mob locations - these can even be seen through the walls.
Gallywix always faced out for me, and I wasn't careful about dying. I wasn't able to kill him in a face-to-face fight, even after ambush, so I worked it:

Ambush for the special "remove half his health".
Gouge, move behind him, pause until about to break, Backstab. Repeat. Eviscerate when 5 combo points
when I missed Gouge, Evasion, Sinister Strike & Thistle Tea and Eviscerate until Gouge is off cooldown
when health gets low (but not too low!) hit Slumber Sand (or Gouge) and Mageweave Bandage
Would have hit health potion if I got low enough, but he died before I needed it

Open the box, get poisoned, and do a little /dance. Cleanse the poison using Anti-venom if you're not just hearthing off to finish the quest (players will often cleanse this for you, or you can die and it goes away). I wanted to finish the series and cleanse it the intended way ("And what is that foul aroma you are giving off? I must know!"), and this time no friendly bystander cleansed it from me.

My macros:

#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/use Sinister Strike
/equipslot 16 Sword of the Night Sky

double-tap the backstab macro to equip and then backstab!

#showtooltip Backstab
/use Backstab
/equipslot 16 Hook Dagger of Agility
/equipslot 17 Hook Dagger of Stamina

To pick pocket Silix's tower key at 20 without needing to respec (or first go for improved stealth), you can kill him first, and wait behind his spawn point for him to respawn. Mobs are usually passive for a few seconds when they respawn, so you can quickly pick pocket him when he's in that state without him reacting.

Be careful of the two patrolling drone mobs though, they will see you if you camp on the spawn point, I found that out that the hard way, so on my second attempt I backed off a bit from the spawn point and moved in when they left. I got unlucky with the timing because he spawned as the patrol approached, but I just went for it, sneaked in and got the key then sprinted off.

So I only did a little bit of research on the quest, waiting until level 22 because of that. I had learned vanish, so imagine my shock when you needed reagents just to cast it, had to run back to the crossroads to get Flash powder. Made it back to the top of the tower without trouble, only to found out from just switching to combat, that I couldn't cast ambush without daggers. Back the crossroads to grab random white daggers from an NPC. Finally I was ready to claim my prize, easy double ambush to kill the boss, now I just had to pick the..."Requires theive's tools to cast". Back to the crossroads asap to grab the tools, and final finally it was back to the boss, easy one shot, cast lockpick and...."not enough skill".

I guess this really is the classic experience.

To do a huge amount of damage to the quest mobs and make the quest a lot easier, equip daggers and:
Garrote the Mutated Drones
Rupture the Patrollers
Eviscerate the Lookouts
Ambush Gallywix

Half of these only worked unreliably for me, I could not figure out how to even get near the Mutaded Drones without them seeing me, so I recommend the quest at 22+.
I also read about people "double ambushing" Gallywix, no idea how that works

Don't bother doing this at 20, the two mobs at the ground floor are both level 25 and will instantly see through your stealth (even at 5/5 MoD) before you get anywhere close to attacking them. And even if you somehow manage to clear your way up to the top, getting an ambush off on Gallywix is a complete crapshoot as he tends to spin around the second you get up the stairs. I managed to ambush him once (out of 4 attempts) and still ended up dying to a series of unfortunate critical attacks.

All sorts of funky stuff going on here.

First of all, this quest is a LOT easier at level 22, especially the Mutated Drones, since you get Distract and Vanish.

My Ambush missed, but still insta killed the Drone. However, it didn't count as a kill for the quest. Decided to do the other stuff first until the Drones respawn. Kind of a mistake. The poison you get by opening the chest seems to severely weaken the effectiveness of Stealth. It was impossible to get close to the Drones again, so I had to kill the second one the hard way.

Just a tip I figured that I didn't see anyone else post.
Be level 22.
On the last floor to kill Gallywix, you can use Ambush, fight him with Evasion and when evasion ends, Gouge, go behind him, Vanish and very quickly Ambush.
The second Ambush deals as much damage as the first and it's a very easy solo.

Having done this with 2 rogues, I can confirm that double ambush does in fact 1-shot Gallywix. However, with that being said, if you do this he will not drop his head and you will need to wait 10 minutes for him to respawn. He also only drops 1 head at a time, so you will be there at least 10 minutes per rogue in the party.

For anyone still punching the wall over this: you wont get credit for the two patrolling Drone mobs outside the tower. It needs to be the two who are inside on the first floor.

Just because it isn't abundantly obvious: The quest hands in your faction city eg Horde = Og , not back with Task Master Fizzule
