Comentario de Trisquel

Del sombrero de "don carlos" hay dos uno que tira el npc que es de letras azules y otro q te da don carlos al entregar la misión de letras blancas, el de letras azules puede invocar el espíritu de un coyote mientras q el blanco no, así q si quieres tener el sombrero q invoque la pet tendrás q cojer la quest, matar al NPC, cojer el sombrero y no entregar la misión :) es super facil nada complicado. PD: los dato son basados en la expansión de The Lich King, no se como sera aun en el cata.

*Without material existence but existing in contemplation of law, as a franchise.

In short, it summons a transparent ghost wolf.

That is the Law definition, which makes no sense in this case. How is a transparent wolf a franchise? The proper definition for this use would be: of, pertaining to, or characteristic of nonmaterial beings.

A reference to Carlos Castaneda, the famous Meso-American shaman of dubious reputation.

For those who simply cant understand the above: It simply summons a non-combat pet that looks like a Shaman in Ghostwolf Form. Would be nice for MY shaman in Ghostwolf Form, btw.

For female toons, this hat gives you a characteristic "hair bun" at the nape of your character's neck.

Comentario de 174239

Soloed as an SL/SL lock with my pvp gear on instead of my raiding gear, all it required was me to fear the coyote and keep my dots up, drain him constantly and shadowbolt when nightfall procd, used 1 mana pot and 1 healthstone, was dead before i could use a healthpot because of cooldown.

Comentario de chrrie

My group killed him, ran out, switched to normal from heroic and back again, and ran back in, and he wasn't there. Additionally, if we dropped party and reformed, still nothing. Disbanded and each of us tried to run in solo and could see everyone in the group as if we were still in the party. Did anyone else experience this?

Comentario de Jebediah

Three manned it with a fire mage, demo lock and resto shaman. Killed Don Carlos three times, got three hats and now we're stylin.

Really cool to see a shaman with one, since they can ghost wolf next to it and there's just two standing there. We had four running around after we got the third hat. :D Really fun item!

Comentario de 174316

This hat looks ridiculously cool on my fat tauren-ness. The wolf has the same animation as shammy's ghost wolf form, we got this for 5 shammys in our guild and had them run around in ghost wolf form with the hat's spirit wolf out, and it was pretty funny lookin.

Also, even if you are saved to the instance you can still do heroic->normal->heroic and he will respawn.

Comentario de 156096

Solo'd as a Resto Shaman, took a while. Stay max distance from Don Carlos and keep down Windwall/Stoneskin/Earth Shield, nuke the dog down, switch to Water Shield and nuke down Don Carlos healing as needed.

Comentario de kalerender

I just did the heroic/normal/heroic reset method, worked fine. Got a hat for everyone in my party.

Range tanked it as a warlock, fear the dog, each hit was about 2k, stay far enough away to avoid scattershot. Each hit came every couple of seconds, so any competent healer can keep you up (mine was a t4 resto shaman).

Hat's for all, Mexican sombrero party in Shattrath for all!

Comentario de Daudgrim

"Duoed" him as a holy pally in T5/MH gear, and a arms warrior in S2/S3/S4, need to kill pet first, then go on mr sombrero himself. Healer should stay at max range to avoid scatter shots.

We didn't get to reset him after that even though we did as told above, but i guess its just tough luck, mabye we moved him too far or something.

We pulled him all the way back to entrance caverns, might have had something to say.

Comentario de 40775

sometimes after killing him, it says you are now saved. YOU wont actually be saved.

Comentario de lapdragon

On heroic, it's a very simple fight once you figure it out - the trick is to not get within about 15 yards of him.

I did it with myself (70 feral druid) in my healing kit, and a shadow priest. I hibernated the dog, and we both stayed as far away from Don Santos as possible, I moonfired every once in a while and let the shadow priest do the work - I just healed us when we needed it and kept the dog asleep until the fight was over, then I tanked the dog and she healed me. We added another priest and a warlock to get their hats, and it just made it all that much easier. As long as you don't get close to him, he doesn't do very much to anybody - he prefers to shoot you at range from horseback, and if left to his own devices, will do so.

We tried doing the tank/spank thing a few times earlier in the day, but any time I got close enough to tank him, he'd just scattershot me and kill the DPS. I'd invariably end up outliving the DPS in my group, but without proper DPS he won't go down, and in bearmode I couldn't hibernate the dog to keep it out of the fight.

Comentario de 171924

The fight is easy if your gear is decent. Did it twice today - me tanking as druid and once with a mage and once with a resto shaman. Both times were fine because I just shape shift out of the net and get agro back asap.

However, it is my opinion that the hotfix today fixed being able to reset, though I would love a confirmation. I have not been able to reset it using any aforementioned methods today, and there was a hotfix restart this morning. The fight is fun and ez, waiting 30 minutes is a bummer.

Comentario de 174754

3 manned it on heroic with: 1680 Healing resto druid, full pvp gear dps warrior, and a arms warrior with 13.5k hp tanking. i was duel boxing the warrior and the druid and still 3 manned it, hits pretty hard but it's doable

Comentario de 23515

I just tried the set to heroic, kill him run out set to normal and then to heroic method.

And it worked.

Me (Shs Rogue) Prot warrior and Ench Shaman downed him with no problems at all.

Comentario de 36692

Duo'ed this boss with myself (T6 feral druid) and a T6 shadow priest. He has somewhat the same mechanics as the second last boss in The Underbog (with the druid bear, and the hunter) where he resets agro after each scattershot. He will also net you in place and catch distance. Make sure you take agro immediately after a scatter shot, as he will cut down any cloth pretty fast. Easily duoable for us two with Vampiric Embrace, didn't even pull him back to the start. And no, he does not save you to the instance, and you can easily reset it by zoning out and swap from Normal and back to Heroic mode again. Cake.

Comentario de Psykhe

Relatively easy to solo on heroic as restro shaman with ZA/badge gear.

Drop stoneskin/mana spring/wrath of air totems, ES yourself, aggro dog with lightning bolt, then pop fire ele and heroismn and burn dog down with shocks, LB and the ele.
Once dog is dead switch to water shield, keep totems up (searing replaces fire ele) and kill the Don with searing and LB spam. Heal yourself whenever needed.

No buffs used, not even food. WS procs from him attacking you is totally fine with keeping your mana up (use a lower rank not-light healing wave for healing yourself though).
Used 2 mana pots in the fight, but those were before I noticed that I can keep my mana up without them so they weren't really neccessary.

Comentario de sexxyback

Somewhat easy to solo with my afflictionwarlock (season 1-2isch pvpgear).
Pulled him by the tower and kept on running around it with dots up on them until they died (dog first).

Kept the dog feared with fear/instant HoT and used my imp to attack Don Carlos so he used net on him instead of me.
I used about one HS and a Healthpot, Good luck getting your hat ! :)

Comentario de Zalambar

Just hotfixed today.

Setting to normal, then back to heroic does not work anymore.

Incorrect, I just farmed a pair of these hats for a druid/hunter team following the hot fix by switching to normal mode and resetting the instance.

Comentario de Ivoz

One thing I didn't see in any of the comments so far:
The Location!
He patrols the path trough hillsbrad foothills on his horse, together with a coyote ofcourse.
Walk from the entrance of the instance to the path and follow it 'till the bridge
(going to the left if you walk into the instance)

I've done it 4 times and 2 of the 4 times Don Carlos was patrolling immediatly at the path when u walk in.
The other 2 times it was patrolling at the bridge (the one u walk over after the 2nd, the one on a horse, too).

I'll post some screenies

Can someone from the beta answer a question. Does this hat go into the new pet page in the spellbook/character pane, or does it remain as a standard item within your bag?

Comentario de Fwibbles

Note that you can put glyphs on it as well at knothide kits on it, so you can pwn in STYLE, with stats

Comentario de 78159

The other difference between this & the bloodsail hat is that sadly the pet disappears when you unequip the hat :(

Got it 2x today with a shadow priest/prot warr/fury warr ^^

Comentario de 217240

Today i went on my druid (who had the hat at a time) and tried to put on the hat...only to notice the hat was no longer in my inventory. puzzled i check my bank...wasn't there either. I looked down at my free bag space and it showed i had 1 free space when i exit the game the night before i remebered that i had no free bags....so this can only mean that my hat was wiped out of my inventory for some reason!

Has this ever happend to someone and if it has how did you fix it if you could fix it?

Comentario de 50125

Why not.... "Prot" Pally soloable

Go in your best set of shockadin gear. Use blessing of sanctuary of course.

Kill the pet while keeping your distance from Don Carlos. Then keep your distance and start the long series of avenger's shields and holy lights. Look around and find some level 28 beast. They are now your unlimited mana pool. Whenever divine shield was up I hit avenging wrath and did some dmg. I had to find a new beast for mana though after each one.

Comentario de lapdragon

Just a random update now that Wrath is out - a decently-geared level 80 BM hunter can solo Don Carlos in heroic.

Kill his dog super-fast, and then just DPS Don Carlos like your life depends on it.

He ended up killing my cat and started working on me, but a Runic Healing Potion and a leftover healthstone kept me up long enough to get a nice blue hat :-)

This pet does not count towards the achievement Can I Keep Him?, or any other achievement in that achievement chain.

Soloed it yesterday with my firelock half epics/blues

Send the void offtank Don Carlos with CoW
Dot-Fear Guerrero and nuked it down fast while healing the void
When Don Carlos hit 50% life, burned him down and sacrificed the void at the end.
Used 1 healing pot, 1 healstone and Medallion of Heroism because he kept firing me with his scattering shot

Got my hat on the 2nd try

Comentario de 200692

Feral Druid - lvl 80. (Heroic for hat drop)

Once engaged, root or hibernate the dog, then simply beartank the boss. Keep your bleeds on him.
If the dog wakes up, you have a number of options:
1) If you need heals, hit barkskin and hibernate the dog THEN heal yourself.
2) If you don't need heals, wait until the boss is out of melee range and use Nature's Grasp to root the dog.
3) You can also use Nature's grasp + Frenzied regeneration if you really don't wanna pop out of bearform.
4) ?
5) Profit. Enjoy your hat!

After the boss was down I had plenty of health to kill the dog, but didn't feel like it. I shadowmelded (woohoo nightelves) and he despawned. - Loot the hat and take a screenie!

Comentario de Xanethia

From the comments here i expected the fight to be quite harder than it turned out to be.

I'm a lvl 80 troll mage (frost spec) with full t7.5 and other nice purple bits, standing at ~2k spellpower.

I rode in found Don Carlos, rode a bit ahead - buffed up.

I then popped, Berserking (troll racial +10% haste), Icy Veins alongside Water Elemental and Mirror Image.
and immidiately after Cold Snap, so it could pop Icy Veins and Water Elemental asap if needed be.

I set it all on the dog add, and took it down pretty fast (it is only 33.3k after all)
And then turned my attention on Don Carlos himself.
My Ice barrier shield absorbs 3.3K damage, so when he finally managed to break my shield, the cd was over and i could pop a new one.
When the Mirrors died Don Carlos was at ~50%, and at ~ 30% when the Water elemental duration was over.
Popped Icy Veins and Water Elemental again, and kept nuking.

The fight in all took less than 1½ minute, and i got my blue novelty hat. :)
I was down ~5K mana and ~4K hp when the fight was over (2nd ice barrier wasn't shattered yet)

just soloed him on my lvl 80 DK and got the hat, also he saves you to the instance now.

Comentario de 332502

drops off of don carlos, heroic mode, 80% drop rate

u need the key of time to get in heroic mode, which u can buy from the keepers of time at honored reputation

easy way to get honored is to farm black morass and regular old hillsbrad, there is a few quests that really help with the rep grinding in old hillsbrad

if u do the quets in there, u can easily get honored with 3 runs of regular old hillsbrad, and 1 run of black morass

then, when u get honored, go buy the key, set difficulty to heroic, go in the instance, kill carlos, and hope he drops the hat

btw, the wolf u summon looks like a shaman's ghost wolf form, really cool =)

hope this info helped u guys

Comentario de rajaza

Just done thins on my DeathKnight - level 80 ofc and was really easy. got the hat, and uploaded the screenshot with the coyote out.

Kill the wolf first, then it's just tank+spank him down, or just spank if you're solo. Every so often he nets you, runs away and shoots once or twice, and he also uses scatter shot (Disorientating you).

Also, you can just do all the quests that they give you (after the attunement) and you should be honored. i reached 6000/12000 into honored.

Comentario de Discombobulator

Easily soloed as an 80 afflic lock with Hateful/Deadly/Relentless pvp gear.

Put up Demon Armor.
Chain fear the dog.
Put your VW on Don Carlos.
Dot up Don Carlos.
Pop shield when he targets you.
You CAN trinket his Scatter Shot.
Drain Life.
Loot Don Carlos.
Dot the dog.
/dance

Didn't even use my HS, healed my VW once. Lower gear consider using Circle, Healthstone, Death Coil, etc. for other last-minute tricks.

Comentario de 442279

Curious thing I have found:
- Equip the hat;
- Call the wolf;
- Get on your flying mount;
- Fly diagonally up;
- At about 100? height change hat to any other;
- Land and have your wolf still with you.

Comentario de 390201

Saw this on a person today and decided that I needed it. If you're neutral with keepers of time like I was, it will take about 2-3 hours, maybe less depending on class. I did it in 2hrs10min as a rogue with decent gear.

Just do the keepers of time quest chain that leads up to Black Morass and the Opening of the Dark Portal. Everything is easily soloable up to this point. The 2nd boss in Black Morass will require all of your cooldowns as a rogue as he can be quite deadly even to a lvl 80. Save your evasion cooldown until he is around 50% hp and you should be fine.

After you turn in the final quest you get after completing Black Morass you will be honored or possibly revered(I was honored but I missed a quest) with keepers of time so you can get the key to unlock heroic mode.

Once you have the key go to H Durn and find your way to Southshore and follow the road North and then East until you run across Carlos. Very easy to beat using this strategy as a combat rogue:

Stand a little ways in front of him and use Blade Fury and then Adrenaline Rush, then attack Carlos. As soon as you engage him pop Evasion. Ignore his pet because Blade Fury will make quick work of it. At one point he'll trap you in place and move away, so use killing spree on him, and then it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to finish him off with sinister strike and a quick eviscerate.

Comentario de 73830

soloed this as a rogue with mostly t8.5 gear and some TOC items, as combat.
first thing you do, is sap the dog. then attack don. hes immune to stuns and disarms so you have to get him down because the net and shoot combo kills you fast. ended up beating him with 1.2k hp to spare. poison him, bleed him, expose armor him, and go all out asap. also be sure to have your pvp trinket or human racial to get out of his net.

Comentario de 446961

Soloed in my Fire destro Lock with Improved Imp.

I find my tactic slightly easier then the above Warlock:

Make sure you have buffs before the fight, and be sure you have a Voidwalker out.
Start the fight by sending in the Voidwalker, and make sure he uses Suffering (AoE taunt)
Burn down his pet ASAP(You will draw aggro) You might need a potion depending on your gear.
By the time the pet is down, you'll most likely need to heal the Voidwalker with Health Funnel.
After Voidwalker is health again, Burn down Carlos, and if you draw aggro, be sure to hit Sacrifice.

Hope this helps.

Comentario de Waldini

Confirmed that you cannot leave & reset to get him to respawn again... when it says "you're saved" after killing him, seems it really means it these days.

Comentario de 97145

I found a very effective method for soloing him as a Retribution Paladin, it takes a little bit of setup but it's well worth it.

Firstly, put all your DPS skills in the numbered key positions, I used 1 for divine storm, 2 for crusader strike and so on, I also highly recommend you make a macro for each skill to pop wings AND hand of reckoning, just incase the boss ever stops targeting you for a second. Once you have all your skills keybound, put whatever seal you want to use on: Command, Righteousness, Corruption / Vengeance (or Light if you're really bad) self buff and approach Carlos.
Now the most important part, roll over all your skills in whatever fashion you deem appropriate. Personally I have fat fingers so I just pressed all the buttons at once and got satisfactory results, some of you might like to pretend you're playing a song on your keyboard like a piano, some of you might literally roll your face over the desired selection, these are all valid tactics and I encourage you to use whichever you're comfortable with. About 20 seconds later Carlos will be dead and you can pull your face off your keyboard to right click him and receive a hat. Congratulations!

Comentario de 630585

solo'd as lvl 80 dk dps with 4.2K gs.

Most important for all classes, is that pull him AWAY from the road; sometimes if your unlucky, the Lordaeron Watchers run into you and you have 3 more adds. I made that fatal mistake on my first attempt and had to wait 6 min for AotD cd.

How I did it: I popped AotD (thats army of the dead for noobs) straight away; they kept aggro pretty well. I barely DPS'ed at this stage to avoid aggro, as I lost health channeling and pulling him away. He hits for about 1-2K on dps plate wearers in T9 armor. The army of the dead pwned guerreo and got don carlos down to 50% health, but carlos killed them all. After that, I managed to hold out using the IT-PS-DS tactic. If you're good at keeping aggro to the minimum, you could DPS more during AotD tanking.

Hope this helped.

Comentario de 697870

As of patch 4.0.3 it is now very easy to go from neutral to honored in about 2 hours
(it took me about 2 hours with a lvl 85 but should be about the same for lower level if you can find a group);
and then once you are honored you can buy the Key of Time
which lets you run the heroic version of the "Old Hillsbrad" instance, in which the "Don Carlos' Famous Hat" drops 100% of the time
(don't bother to run the non-heroic version the hat will not drop).

Remember even with the Key of Time you must right click
on your character's icon (top left of screen) and select "Dungeon Difficulty: 5 Player (Heroic)" before you enter the instance.

Here are the steps:

I.
To increase your reputation from neutral to honored just do this quest series:
1. Old Hillsbrad
2. Taretha's Diversion
3. Escape from Durnholde
4. Return to Andormu

II.
Here is the second quest series I did:
1. The Black Morass
2. The Opening of the Dark Portal
3. Hero of the Brood

III.
Your reputation with "Keepers of Time" faction should now be honored and you can now buy the Key of Time.

After you buy the Key of Time go back to the
Old Hillsbrad instance and right click on your character's icon (top left of screen) and select "Dungeon Difficulty: 5 Player (Heroic)" before you enter the instance.

Once in the instance just ride to straight out of the cave and to the road. Take a left once you hit the road and Don should
be somewhere on that road between there and the keep. After you kill him, if you had difficulty set to Heroic he will drop the hat.

P.S.
If you are going to be out there (in the Old Hillsbrad Foothills trying to get the hat) anyway here are some vendors that sell some stuff that is only sold out there:
1. Aged Dalaran Wizard who is the only source for Formula: Enchant Shield - Intellect.
2. Barkeep Kelly for some Rumsey Rum Black Label (Rumsey Rum Black Label gives + 15 stamina to any level player);
3. Thomas Yance sells Pattern: Riding Crop.

Comentario de ShadeolTheFox

Despite the Coyote Spirit not being added to your Pet Book, you can easily have this out like a permanent companion without the hat.

Equip hat. Summon pet. Equip regular helm. Log off. Log on. Enjoy. :)

Though remember that since it's counted as a Companion, summoning another Companion will get rid of it.

Comentario de 126940

Just to clarify a few things - when you equip your regular helm back, yes it despawns once but the new in-game feature summons your last pet so just logout with the pet despawned and your normal helm on.

Also if you have a Haunted Memento in your inventory, your last pet will not get summoned, so mail it to your alt/bank it before logging out. (Don't throw it at anyone, it's currently bugged!)

The same thing can be done with the Bloodsail Admiral Hat and various (temporary) quest companions such as the orphaned mammoth calf.

Comentario de 744145

To keep your pet with you simply equip hat, summon pet, mount up, change hat, dismount. (Edit: sorry didnt read above posts)

Comentario de Krix007

This item is pretty fun. To really do this hat justice, you'll need the outfit to match. You're local tailor can sew you a Haliscan Jacket and some Haliscan Pantaloons. Since you're already dressed to impress, pick up some Don Carlos Tequila to make your night just that much better!

Comentario de Fulgorater

You can have 4 wolves out as an enhancement shaman with this item.

Equip the hat and summon the pet.
Que into an instance. Once inside, switch back to your main helm.
When you exit you will still have your pet coyote out.

Pop Wolves, go ghost-wolf and you will have a shaman "mirror images"
Doing 5's with 4 other enhance shaman with this is pretty funny.

Comentario de SquintsADT

After putting the hat on and summoning the pet I put my hat in the bank and the wolf follows me every where despite not wearing the helm. If I die he will also despawn and won't respawn until I go through a loading screen. Very similar to the Malmortis and elephant bug that has been going around.

You do not have to have completed "Nice Hat"

He drops Don Carlos' Hat if you are on the quest, the reward is Haliscan Brimmed Hat, to complete the mariachi outfit. Other parts of the outfit are crafted by tailoring proffesion. He drops also Don Carlos' Famous hat - 100% drop, but only when heroic.

VERY easy for a rogue, level 80 plus. You can sap his dog, and take up to the full minute to kill him. If you disarm him (dismantle) that should take care of scattershot, but as an 85 sub spec, I essentially 2-shot him with ambush, Kidney punch, Backstab. Free Sombrero!

The reason it cannot be used for transmog is that it has no stats, just like Máscara de fumigador vil

I use this as my fishing gear with Haliscan Jacket and Haliscan Pantaloons.

Comentario de Ravenei

None of the mentioned methods for retaining this companion while wearing your "correct" helm work any longer. In fact, the primary cause of their abolishment is due to the fact that, unlike other companion pets, this companion is NOT automatically re-summoned by your character as other companions are.

If you are to say equip the hat, summon the wolf, mount, fly a foot off the ground, land and then dismount, the pet would not be summoned by your character and you would have to use the hat again despite never de-equiping it. Entering an instance, dying, anything that would cause your normal companion to despawn even for an instant will leave this companion despawned permanently until you re-use the hat.

If the hat clashes with your transmogrification set or you just plain don't like it, your best bet is turning off helm animations for the time being.

Here's a quick macro for you if that's to your liking.
#showtooltip
/equip Don Carlos' Famous Hat
/run if ShowingHelm() then ShowHelm(0) else ShowHelm() end

You can also use a similar macro if you'd like that macro button to allow you to both equip Don Carlos' Famous Hat or your own.
#showtooltip
/equip Don Carlos' Famous Hat
/equip "Your Normal Hat Name Goes Here without the Quotation Marks"
/run if ShowingHelm() then ShowHelm(0) else ShowHelm() end

and what the heck is a Coyote Spirit Despawn Arua? what does that mean? Sounds like it would cancel out the use effect........?

Comentario de Allakhazam

100% Drop rate from Don Carlo's in Old Hills Brad HEROIC. You do NOTneed the hat quest to get it to drop! 100% drop rate! He does lock you into that instance so only one per day.

Comentario de Thottbot

Edit: Don Carlos drops it in ONLY Heroic Caverns of Time: Durnholde. He is a new NPC that patrols the road with his wolf leading from durnholde keep all the way back to the entrance of the instance.

Its been confirmed that he ONLY drops it in heroic, but is a guaranteed drop. Me and my group ran it 5 times in a row so we could all get the hat. (I'm uploading a picture right now) It summons a nice wolf pet that looks like a shaman in ghostwolf that follows you around and ocasionally howls. It cannot be equipped with non-combat pets.

There is currently a glitch where when you fight Don Carlos it DOES NOT save you to the instance, even though it says it in chat "You are now saved to this instance" if you open up your raid tab you will notice that Caverns of Time Dunholde is not listed. So you can just leave the instance set it to normal then set it heroic go in and he will respawn, you can only do this 5 times before it will lock you out and give you the message "You have entered too many instances resently". So my advce is to farm this guy as quickly as possible for the hats before they nerf it.

Comentario de Thottbot

Verified the hat only drops on heroic and has a 100% drop rate.
Heres a picture of it on my hunter with the hat with wolf summoned:

also hunters in search of this,the wolf that follows the guy even though it nuetral aggroed to my pet the instant i dismounted,however my pet is a cat,so im unsure if blizz decided to be funny and make it aggro to cats,or all pets in general.

Comentario de Thottbot

Ow yes he is resetable. I did it so the party could get each one. Just run into the normal, then run out and reset. Set to heroic and run in, and he is there.

Comentario de Thottbot

We just 2 manned Don Carlos in heroic, hunter and druid. You can also get the quest item off of the npc in heroic mode. We just either kept his pet slept or trapped until he was dead.

Comentario de Thottbot

Tested and works in heroic....even though you kill Don Carlos you will see a yellow text saying you were saved, but the truth is you werent....If you go outside and change the instance to normal then back to heroic Don Carlos will respawn allowing you to farm him for this hat...

His only Loot drop is this hat and no badges!

Limited event or here to stay but hat is sweet and so is he wolf pet

now everyone wants to be mexican

Comentario de Thottbot

me and 3 other guildies all went into heroic durn today to get this hat. it did not save us to the instance.

looks cool as a shammy in ghost wolf with one following you arround. and gets very large with the pet biscuit buff

Comentario de Thottbot

confirmed it still works doing multiple times on heroic.
easily 2 manned with arc mage and resto drood, he walks the road from in front of southshore , just go out reset walk back in on reg step back out to reset to heroic

Comentario de Thottbot

As a balance druid i was ablo to solo this.. i have 850 spell dmg.. Pretty poor gear. I equipped Heal mace and Heal offhand.

Started off with hibernate pet-Summoning trees and dpsing till he is 80%(ofc i healed in between. lifebloom and reju is most like enuf, sometimes regrowth needed).

when 80% i innervated, and ran around in a circle. around Entrance, Tarrenmill, Southshore, waiting for trees to get ready

Rinse and repeat

Notes:
The wolf is little faster than him, so u can lifebloom hibernate and rerun.

Don't try to kite around the lakes.. They will swim over and rush ya..

KEEP AWAY FROM HIS MELEE.... it hurts

Catform>Dash is good right after the engage.

Remember Faerie Fire to help your trees:P

if his wof is VERY FAR away when hibernate disappears, it gets summoned to him

I hope this helped you, and if it did, please + vote this post.

Comentario de Thottbot

As of right now, resetting Heroic does still work. There was a catch for us though. You need to wait until his body despawns, then leave the instance, set it to Normal, set it back to Heroic and then you can go back in and he will be there. Resetting it before his body despawned did not work for us. We did it with only three of us. My suggestion is to CC the dog. Carlos himself cannot be CCed so take him down while the dog is sheeped/feared/etc and it's easy.

Comentario de Thottbot

The pet can have the pet biscuit used on him! Makes him like as big as an elekk mount! lol

Comentario de Thottbot

Wow...Hat + Pet biscuits from TCG = GIANT coyote..

Solod as resto druid; 2024 bonus heals, 9.6k hp, 9.8k mana, 600 mp5; killed dog then killed Carlos; took me about 24 minutes; he agro's the bears, spiders, and cats that are running around, doesnt agro the pat of 3 guards, shoots for about 2k on 3.5k armor, melee hits for about 3.5k on 3.5k armor, scatter shots way to much..... GG bliz for not having him have a cooldown on it.

Comentario de Thottbot

Just 2-manned him (on heroic ofc) with resto shaman and protection paladin.

Shaman can get hurt during his scattershot, so better be well-geared.

Paladin tanks both, kills wolf first, then long and slow grind down the main man.

Pull a lvl 22-30 nonelite trash mob from the instance (and keep it off consecration!) to proc your water shield. ...And bring LOTS of mana pots! Make sure the paladin has given you Blessing of Wisdom.

Comentario de Thottbot

Is this an unlimited use item, like a non-combat pet, or limited use (so many charges before it vanishes), like the dog whistle from Scarlett Monastary? I scanned the comments above, but didn't see anything answering this.

Heres my shaman with it!

will this pet be counted as an achievement pet ?

Comentario de Thottbot

i doubt it

Comentario de Thottbot

solo'd as a feral druid....in tank gear 18.1k health 30k armor 40% dodge....started out regrowth myself and moonfire the dog, then went bear form got don carlos to his sweet spot where he doesnt scatter shot, kill the dog had about 50% health left, popped out healed to 90% and put hots on myself had about 40% mana went bear form charged don carlos and got him to about 89% health i had 36% left his melee was hitting me around 900-1500, when i had 36% health left i popped a potion had about 76% mana left healed myself full and went bear form and got him to his sweet spot, and i let him shoot me (avg. 600 per shot) until i had around 90% mana (addon - druid bar) popped out healed full and went back to him

basically rinse and repeat the steps using bear heal when you can and innervate every cooldown....each time i went to attack him i took out 8-11% of his health before i had to heal and regen mana

the fight took 45 mins 53 seconds

I am a hunter and i was just wondering if you can have both your pet summoned and the ghost wolf summoned at the same time?

Cheers,

Comentario de Thottbot

me and my friend holy pala soloed him easily (im destro lock) i just fear/nuke pet and then i continued on boss himself :) very easy :D

Comentario de Thottbot

Very easy on Normal.

I'm a resto shammy, and found this to be a decently easy fight to solo, even AFTER I totally screwed up.

My advice, is start off by popping your Earth Elemetal to get his little wolf out of the way.

Take out the wolf FIRST, while keeping yourself healed. Don Carlos attacks really slowly, so I was only hit for 800 dmg every 10 seconds or so.

After your Earth Ele is gone (try to keep him alive with heals to recieve the full effect) drop your Fire Elemetal.
I just threw myself a heal, and used a lightning bolt.

Towards the end, he was at 20% hp, and I was OOM.

I just used Water Shield. Whenever he shot me, I healed and shot one bolt at him. Rinse, repeat until he is dead :)
Just a side note, I am not all that well geared. I only have two t-4 pieces, and most of my stuff is just random healing junk I've either bought with badges, or picked up in Kara.

Going to try with a Warlock pal tonight on Heroic :)

HOW I SCREWED UP:

I underestimated his wolf pup, and dropped my Fire Ele right off the bat. I spent about 2 minutes just trying to keep him up, and about 30% of my mana. It was stupid, and made the fight very difficult. EARTH ELE FIRST!

Comentario de Thottbot

Is there some new Patch issue, cause I can't find the guy on Heoric anymore.

Comentario de Thottbot

i solo'd this on heroic as a resto shaman. took a few tries to figure out how to do it. above person said use elemental to kill dog first. yes that works good.

use riptide and earthshield to help keep health up. and don carlos really doesnt hit that hard so once u get the dog down u should be ok. the fight took about 10 min so try to time mana pots and manatide totems so u dont run out so fast...

Good luck to anyone who tries, my server has no nice ppl to help so i was stuck soloing this.

Comentario de Thottbot

Just solo'd as an 80 feral druid. (And yes, we're talking about Heroic so as to get the blue hat)

My first attempt was unsuccessful, as I hadn't read the strategy and between his scatter shots and his nets I was incapacitated or rooted 90% of the time. Yes, these still suck even though he is only a 72 elite. He killed me when I had him down to about 10%. I was pretty much OOM from shifting out of his constant nets, too.

My second attempt I downed him easily, now knowing that to heal up I just had to go stand at his max range and eat his auto-shots, which didn't hurt much. So I just did the standard bear RAWR thing till we were both around 15%, then I went to max range, popped back to cow form, healed myself to full, and went bear again to finish him off.

At 80 it looks like this will be an easy fight to solo for any ranged character, especially if they have a pet or are capable of healing themselves. To do so, just burn down the dog quickly, then go stand at his max range so that he won't scatter-shot you.

Melee have it a bit harder, but knowing about his 'sweet spot' (not so far that he'll run up to you, but far enough to be out of range of his scatter shot) makes this soloable for most classes.

Comentario de Thottbot

I can confirm this quest still works and hasnt received a nerf. You still get a msg you are saved, but you arent. As a ranged player killing him is indeed very easy :D
Gl getting the head :D

Comentario de Thottbot

as a prot warrior i found that the autoshot was hurting the most. so i went close to him and just dodged and parried all he threw at me. quite easy, no pot. no shieldwall, no last stand and no trinket. and i killed dog when he rooted me and i couldnt charge out of net or every man for himself was on CD. an easy blue hat for me.

Comentario de Thottbot

Killed him as a lvl 80 Demo lock on heroic, killed the wolf first while healing pet, then focused on Don. Just kept dotting and healing pet

Comentario de hannibalektr

You can complete this quest on normal, but you won't get the blue hat with the dog. You'll get "Haliscan Brimmed Hat" which just looks like a sombrero and no "use" function.
