Did something change here with the Galakras fight? I use to be able to guard the goblins up top then do the towers and the NPCs down below were fine, now they die in like 15 seconds if I don’t jump down and clear the trash, but in that span of time the goblins get merked.
I haven’t solod this in a long time though, so maybe I’m just forgetting something?
I haven’t tried since all the SL changes happened.
Taking with a grain of salt as I have not done it solo since the level cap being changed to 60 and Chromie time, but they should only need to stay alive until the first tower is opened.
Clear a few waves until they blow open the first tower (making sure to watch for the couple that spawn on top of them up there, not just the waves below), then you should be able to shoot the boss to the ground in a couple shots with the cannon on top of the tower, and then go down to take the boss out without worrying about them after the initial opening of the tower.
It’s time in such a way that this really isn’t possible. And when I saw the NPCS die quick, I mean they die QUICK. Varian dropped in 15 seconds or less. They’d be dead by the time I reached the top of the tower to shoot the dragon.
Still easily doable with 2 people, but I’m not sure what happened to soloing this. I use to do it fine.
Ah, so the named NPC’s are dieing to the waves if they aren’t being guarded, and the goblins are dieing to the mobs that spawn on them if not at them if at the named NPC’s, before the first tower itself is opened?
It may have changed then, I do know that before the change the named NPC’s would get killed if not giving some help against the waves, they’d wouldn’t need a lot of help but some (usually even just using heroic throw by the goblins was enough to take down enough for the named NPC’s to finish the wave off for a warrior, while still watching for the mob that spawns by the goblins)
I’ll try it again and see if I can give any suggestions, if you don’t already though I’d get DBM and the mists raid one for it so you have DBM for siege of orgrimmar, it has spawn timers for the waves and the mobs that spawn on the goblins themselves, so you can run up there right before the mobs spawn on the goblins but otherwise stay at the named NPC’s
Thank you. Any advice would be helpful if you’re able to get it down.
You’re suppose to guard the tower, kill the grunt that jumps down and then immediately go and save the NPCs. Repeat until the tower opens (should be 3 waves)
Will the NPCs down below still be fine while I climb the tower and shoot the dragon? I don’t think I can do that in less than 15 seconds, unless when the tower opens the waves of enemies stop for a minute.
Just completed, and it did fail the first run when I just went up as soon as the tower was open due to the named NPC’s dieing to the wave right before I got to them after jumping down, second time I waited to clear the the wave coming around the time the tower opened and then went up and it was fine. I did need to help finish the wave that was attacking the named NPC’s after I jumped down right after the dragon down was, but it worked fine and they weren’t low on health

(Just have run it on normal for transmogs on this char before, so no mythic achieve on this char)
I can do this on any difficulty except Mythic… i use to be able to run it flawlessly on my healer druid… it use to be easy and quick now npcs die in like 2 snaps… i have to have another with me to run it just for that fight… it’s lame…
Only started happening after the lvl squish btw…
Im able to solo just fine
No, once the towers open up an elite squad spawns and rushes the dock party. You have to kill that then go up the tower. It’s been that way as long as I can remember. Was definitely annoying when I forgot about it last week tho.
Awesome! Thank you! I’ll definitely give it a shot.
Yes. 3rd wave is three NPCs that you need to kill but 4th wave is two dragons that the NPCs should be able to handle just fine without you although you’ll probably clear the tower and shoot down whatsherface before the two dragons die.
I don’t have any problems even in mythic. I kill first wave then Rush to defend goblins and then pull other packs as I am defending goblins.
