These mobs spawn non elites as they begin to break down. A group of 2-3 62+'s can handle these easily.

Commento di Arcticwolf

I believe you can also mine these mobs, it says "Requires Mining" when I mouse over them!

Commento di 7037

They are fearable. :-)

Commento di 50951

Thanks for the info Jumpee!

Commento di Shadax

A single lvl 62 druid can solo these guys, if you're feral specced. You just have to swap over and kill the spawnling, then pop out, and heal yourself. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Be aware of the Knockdown effect they have. Sucks to be @ 2.8 sec of a healing touch and get knocked back. :(

Commento di 76874

These mobs are now tethered to about ~30 yards of there original agro point. This means that kiting them or fearing them will cause them to evade and return.

Pretty gay

Commento di Vasagi

Fairly easy kills for a warlock fear-kiting. The only thing to watch out for are the little colossi that they spawn as you burn them down.

Commento di jason

Just did the quest today as a level 61 Demonology Warlock though I could have done it with any spec I imagine. Chain-fear and DoTs work, just bear aware that he could tether. Curse of Doom ftw here folks. I'd also say fear about every 5 to 10 seconds just to be on the safe side. This means you'll have to run around following him, so you have to be careful about the other giants around. I grabbed the ones on the eastern part of the spawn area and tried to keep them near the mountains so they'd stay put in a corner feared. Took about 20 minutes, but was in LFG the entire time for the quest and finished it before I every got a group for it.

Commento di ScarCrow

I can easily solo one of those with lvl 61 warrior on fury. I keep slamming and execute

Commento di Hicks

Soloed these as level 62 shadow priest with sucky leveling gear (3828 HP, 5680 mana, 287 spell damage) but i was extremely hard. You have to do it exactly the right way, else you'll die.. what i did:
dot it up and mind blast / mind flay it to 80-76% then fear it(fear it BEFORE 75% else it will spawn adds) nuke it down to 45% before it gets close to you, else you'll get adds on you. nuke it a bit to 30% and fear it again and then kill it.
It was extremely hard, but i did it! :P

Commento di 127322

Soloed with ease as 61 MM hunter, with no pet, with no evades and without taking single hit.
Freezing trap / scatter shot / concussive... (hold in freezing the maximal time, then conc/ scatter so you'll have time for another trap) and nuke adds

Commento di GOTO

I've soloed them with 61lvl protection pallly) Not very easy, but if you heal during the battle, you will stay alive and kill this elite

Commento di blessed

Tried these on my BM hunter, tried to kite em around.. worked shortly after the release of tbc, but the mobs start evading now (8 march '08)

Commento di 141449

This is soloable for any level 61+ with basic knowledge of their class.

Commento di 177193

Soloed as a level 65 feral druid with a mix of DPS and tanking gear. Word to the wise from my experience: forget cat, and go bear from the start (with full health, and a couple of elixirs never hurts). Kill the little guys when they spawn, then switch back to the big dude. Depending on how it goes, you might have to try for a stun and quick heal (Lifebloom and/or Rejuvenation) near the end. Didn't have much health left after it was over, but doing it this way, I was able to take down all 5 I needed in a row without dying.

Commento di boiledelephant

I just down'd one of these as a 63 prot/holy paladin. The key is Seal /Judgement of Wisdom, which basically allows you to survive this thing's attacks for about 15 minutes straight. A couple of scrolls and stones help, too. It's not a very efficient way to use your time, but it's very satisfying to know you can do it :)
I don't think any class other than pally and druid would be very good at this, unless very skilled. A warr & healer would be ideal.

Commento di 182258

Solo'ed as 61 BM Hunter.

I guess you could do it MM aswell, but it would be a lot harder because of the lack of Beastial Wrath and especially Intimidation, and not to mention aggro control.

How to do it:

Drop a Freezing Trap and send in pet/Hunter's Mark/Serpent Sting. Intimidation just before 75% and nuke below that point to avoid the first add. Now just pop Beastial Wrath and Rapid Fire and start nuking. When the add at 50% spawns just Multi-Shot if you don't already have aggro due to Mend Pet (which should be on all the time) and the add will run right into your trap. Now just nuke the rest of the way down and forget the last add. Once dead just Feign Death/run or simply kill the adds.

Piece of cake...

Commento di 180790

Easy to solo with lv 62+ warlock
soul fire, dots,(immolate,corruption soul siphon if you are affliction and curse of agony or curse of doom) then just fear it all the time that he can't do adds ;)

Commento di 169181

Solo'ed as a 63 Feral Druid:

It took several tries to get the hang of it (Travel form for the cowardly retreat! - ftcw!) but it was fun! Just before entering combat, I'd cast Regrowth and then Rejvenation on myself. Then, quickly shift into Bear and Charge the bad boy.

Once engaged, get a Demoralizing Roar up, and then a Faerie Fire. Then, unleash your Mangles, Mauls and Swipes. (Yes, even Swipes; This guy will frequently stun you, and I ended up having a HUGE amount of rage stored up by the end of the fight.)

As mentioned earlier, the Colossus will spawn an add at 75%, 50%, and 25% health; The adds are lvl 63, and can cause a bit of damage if ignored. When they spawn, I quickly restore Demoralizing Roar on both enemies, and then target the add. Apply Faerie Fire and Mangle/Maul/Swipe it till dead.

Shifting your attention back to the big guy, you'll probably be a bit concerned about your rate of health loss. Not to worry! Bash, then Regrowth, and get back into Bear! Make sure you do this early, perhaps even before the add; That 1 minute cooldown will certainly expire several times over the duration of the fight... you might as well use it as much as possible to heal yourself. DON'T try to Bash/Heal with the add! Even with Barkskin, you take too much damage.

Repeat the process through the 2nd add. When the 3rd add appears, the big guy was getting pretty low on health, so I decided just to finish him off. It worked! And, if you don't feel like fighting that last add, you can just run away. But, where's the fun in that? I had to use the BearPot macro to chug a Greater Healing Potion (I know, I know; there's bigger ones, I just wanted to get rid of these. Call me cheap)

Here's the major tips:

* Save your Bash for heals, but use it early and often.
* Keep Demoralizing Roar applied at all times, and faerie fire!
* Kill the adds; Their damage will 'add' up - har har!
* Have your BearPot macro ready:

#show Super Healing Potion
/cancelaura Dire Bear Form
/use Super Healing Potion
/cast Dire Bear Form

It took a few minutes to bring the Colossus down, but if I can do it, so can you! Like me, you might just kill one or two, and then call for a friend. It took 3-4 minutes for me to solo it; With a Fire Mage, that time was decreased to perhaps 20-30 seconds, and the big guy didn't even get a chance to summon the last add. (Thanks Ami! :-D)

Commento di ezechiel

pretty easy to solo as lvl 63 S.Priest.
use Vengeance of the Illidari first, then put on him all DoTs you have (VE, VT, SW:P, DP) and spam MB and MF. When the monster spawns the two adds, shield yourself, renew SW:P if necessary, use Dispersion if you're out of mana, MF/MB again and when the elite falls down Fear the two adds, loot and go away (use Fade to get rid of them quickly).

don't try to fight the two adds, as you'll be probably at 30-40% HP and pretty low on mana and will be a bit difficult.
but if you like hardcore go try :D

Commento di 223258

Total pushover, Soloed as a 61 prot paladin.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Quel%27Thalas&n=Mattadin If your wondering if you can do it in your gear.

Edit: Took 35 seconds to kill it and adds.

Commento di Thrakin

Solo'd as 61 DK, full frost.

Kite them in a circle with Icy Touch (-30% Speed is mandatory). Whenever you get 40 Runic P., shoot a Howling Blast, wait 5secs, then a Death Coil.

If they get too close, Chains of Ice.

As long as you run fast enough adds shouldn't be a problem. If you do get adds, simply skip Howling Blast until they're gone. Either that, or use Hungering Cold.

Commento di Brunk

Solo'd as 62 prot warrior. Just stun around the % of when they will spawn adds, they don't spawn.

Commento di 296867

Solo'd by 62 frost DK without the talent that adds a slowing effect to your frost feaver.

Start in melee combat till the first mini giant spawns (use defensive cooldowns to reduce damage). Then start kiting the big one using chains of ice and while running, kill the small add (the small ones die quickly). After the small one is down continue kiting the big one with chains of ice / icy touch / death coil until the next small one spawns (a bit of melee damage can be done as well, just don't take too much damage). Repeat what u did to kill the first add. Continue doing this till they are all dead.

Nice little bonus before starting the fight is to get two deathrunes by killing a random mob(if u are specced for it) to be able to use them when u start kiting to get two extra frost attacks (i.e. icy touch / chains of ice).

Dont kite them too close to the road tho, it'll reset the fight. Run in a circle or something :p.

(forgot to add: u can also, while kiting, try to get an icy touch + pestilence in, followed by a howling blast, nice way of damaging both the add + the main giant.)
(2nd edit: Also make sure to not wait too long between ur attacks on the main giant, it will obviously reset him. so chains of ice is not enough, but if u throw in the occasional howling blast, as mentioned above, or a death coil, u should be fine.)

Commento di mjblink

I think the one thing to do if you're trying to solo these without kiting or a readily available arsenal of fears/stuns is to take out the adds as soon as they spawn. they hit for a decent amount but have very little hp. It will be a little easier if you only have 1 mob stomping you as opposed to 2-4.

Commento di 205033

I solo'ed the quest for these as a 61 frost DK. I know some ppl will say its because i was using a DK, but it didnt seem to difficult. The small ones that spawn when they reach a certain amount of HP are a big threat if you allow them to team up on you, so as soon as they are spawned take them out. I usually came out of the fight with around 15-20% hp left, almost died the first time i fought one because i didnt know about the adds.

Commento di 356597

61 hunter solo'ing these, non-kite i have a basic wolf (lvl 61) got it to block for me ofc, popped a greater agil and a greater def pot and spammed arcane and multi, got one of its adds to come after me and i froze it in place and kept killing, by the time i was done had 20% hp left and 5% mana but overall wasnt too hard

Commento di 285073

As a 63 shadow priest, these wouldn't be much trouble at all except for the stun. It's a close fight, I'm sure lots of people could do these without dying (but I did die on a few attempts). The evade is super annoying if you do hardly any running around or fearing at all.

Commento di 368080

took down this guy with lvl 61 blood DK. easier than it looks

Commento di 379237

These are stunnable so they are soloble for a 63 combat rogue.

Commento di 381348

I have a level 61 shammy and i can down these easy

Commento di Verox

Soloed with 62 feral druid, went stealth, poped Berserk and Pounced, then Rake and Mangle spam untill 5 combo points, then Maim and during the stun mangle spam and another rake and finish with a 5 point Rip.
At this point he's at maybe 60%, run away and regrowth + rejuvenation, then go bear form, save Barkskin for the he enrages.

Done right it's easily done in 1 minute.

EDIT: Tried some more tactics and found out that you can stay in cat form for the whole fight and survive easily, open up as said above then run away and regrowth + rejuvenation, then go Cat form again and Mangle + Rake + Rip and run away, when the bleeds are finished go back and Mangle + Mangle + Rake + Rip = Dead, takes roughly 40 seconds.

Commento di LockKnight

Interesting observation: every time one of the smaller "chips" spawns, the original colossus shrinks a little. After about the third time this happens, the original will have shrunk so much that, if you have not moved, you will be outside of his striking radius and may murder him from range with impunity.

Commento di 410715

Soloable as a 62 Frost Mage. If you do it right the Colossi won't even get to you. Also, some of the spawns won't aggro. Not all, but some. Just chain Frostbolts and run. If an add gets to you, run TOWARDS the elite, Frost Nova, run to the side and continue Frostbolting.

Commento di 419795

solo lvl 61 UH dk just let the ghoul take care of the shardling and you beat up the colosus (easier in frost presence ) use pestilence when shardling spawns and just spam death strike :)

Commento di 438171

I solo'd these one at a time as a frost mage, taking a break between each one for a 2 min cooldown and to recover mana. Just have your water elemental attack in tandem with you, then use it's freezing attack when it adds its first spawn. Switch to using Blizzard, and once it gets close enough to you to attack, it will have probably added it's second spawn. Use frost nova, then keep using blizzard. By this point, your elemental should have almost killed it, and you can deal with the spawns however you like.

Commento di Feato

as an enhance shaman these are easy as hell, just use your instant big waves and you are good to go. If you pull 2 by accident pop your wolfs. :)

Commento di 129867

As a hunter who was having some difficulty keeping all the spawns off me w/o using up all my mana, I adpoted a different (albeit round-about) tactic for getting this done when things start getting dicey.

I concentrated on the original target throughout until it was dead, setting a freeze trap to at least keep one of the spwans from doing damage to me while I hammered the original. Once the original target was dead (and I got credit for the quest kill), I feigned death and let the spawns kill my pet. Once they did, the spawns disappeared, leaving me free to loot the original. If you don't want to let your pet die, you can always run far enough away (if you have the room) until your call pet spell becomes active again. If your pet is still alive when this happens, you can call your pet, which returns at full health (bonus!).

One odd thing was that once, while two of the three spawns disappeared, one lingered. It was no problem taking care of it, but as it can happen, it's something to be mindful of. Good hunting!

Commento di 347237

Using corpse explosion on these guys makes the corpse somewhat difficult to find :)

Commento di lukedevoe

As a level 64 frost dk, I can solo these and have around 75% health left, One they start breaking up into smaller peices just freeze them solid with hungering cold. then worry about the big guy, My Instant cast AOES, Tend to hit around 1k to everyone so. I get rid of the adds quick

Commento di Grotuk

Easily soloed as a 61 prot paladin, even took two at a time. No special tactics, just grind away. Holy Shield, Consecrate, Hammer of the Righteous, Ret aura, all of it will make short work of the colossus and his spawn.

Commento di 41003

Dodge...Dodge..Dodge. Solo'd as a level 62 Druid with no heirlooms. It is quite hard but it can be done with some strategy. If you make one mistake, you might as well /sit and let them kill you. Natures grasp will not work when you have a colossus AND shardling up. The shardling WILL rooted every time you cast.

Commento di 662610

Soloed at level 58 Survival on 2nd attempt pet couldn't hold agro from the 600dps of my 2 stings at same time managed to disengage from the little mobs hat spawn during fight they agroed onto my pet (wolf) healed it halfway through laid Ice Trap and when it got out if it got to close to me i used Sleep Arrow waited for full regen on energy use my DoT's and it was done in about 30secs after the Sleep arrow :)

Commento di Xarthat

Soloed as a level 61 retribution paladin. The strategy was to kill the shardling first, and then return to the big guy. As long as the Fel Reaver doesn't creep up on you, you're good.

Commento di scyther250

With patch 4.3, it seems they may have been nerfed. Only 11054 health now, and they hit much more softly.

Commento di Labryn

These are very, very easy to solo on a combat rogue.

Commento di Thottbot

can u lvl mining on these? if u mine enough of them.

Commento di Thottbot

Ive mined about 20 of em, didnt get jack for loot and no skill points.

Commento di Thottbot

Even when they were "orange" to me I got no skill up from them. But mining is easy to level in Outland.

I'm level 61 with my mage (my second character I'm taking from 60 to 70). I haven't completed all the quests in Hellfire Pennisula yet, and I'm at 375 mining.

Just get a tracker that remembers where you found nodes, like Gatherer and devote a little time. Found my first Khorium vein yesterday... rare gems yay!

Commento di Thottbot

Couldn't solo him with all of his adds. Had to pull 'im back to the guards. Not worth it if you're trying to level mining.

Commento di Thottbot

The greys they drop vendor for such good cash. Be sure to pick up the drops!

Commento di Thottbot

61 paladin, i soloed those.. how can't ya beat em at 70?

Commento di Thottbot

Good question, probably ebay. Nah.. I dunno, they are easy as hell for a 62 mage (10/43/0)

Woudl probably be even easier as frost specc.

Commento di Thottbot

Not everyone can solo these, paladins can because of their high armor hp and efficient healing abilities. Divine shield saves every paladin from these.

Mages can kite pull frost bolt.

Priests can solo these to an extent, until the little colosus starts chasing them thts when they die since they hit as hard as the big one.

Elemental shamans can definitely solo them with the proper use of earth bind totem and frost shock.

Hunters have to solo them with pots, you will have to trap one of the little colosus and have aspect of the pack don't slow the giant while kiting him since the little things are the ones u shld be worried abt.

Rogues have a problem here since multiple mobs will be hitting you, stunning one of them will only save you that little bit. The best way is to use your crossbow or shotgun, keep a distance or until u have killed all the adds.

In a party have one heavy dpser aiming the main and one hu has more defense taking care of the adds

Commento di Thottbot

62 feral druid, I couldn't take these down the easy way. Had to kite them with entangle - moonfire/starfire - entangle etc.. If you do it this way they just drop one add at the time for some reason, just entangle the big one and go cat on the add. My mana pool is pretty low, around 3500, I had to use innervate twice, which should give you a clue about how long it takes to kill them off(6 min cooldown). Its probably a lot easier if you're boomkin or resto.

Commento di Thottbot

Those things are mana drainers lol. (62 durid Balance)

Commento di Thottbot

With hunter bm spec at 61, these are soloable. Specially now with the non-channeling mend pet. Keep pet alive, kill the rager SLOW so only 1 pops at a time, kill the little one. takes a while be not too bad (I did it)

pally isn't so bad either if you have ok equipment and manage your mana well. Same deal, kill slow enough to only pop 1 little guy at once, and take out the smallies as fast as possible.

Druid was easy at 61. Like the other guy said, root, moonfire dot, instects if you hvae it (or to watch mana, just insects but it takes longer) Keep him rooted, kill the little ones that pop, after 3rd small is dead, dps the rager down.

Then theres the other method. A small group, dpsing, getting 3 of the little guys at once ending up in corpses. If you have enough power, it works fine, if you have a healer it probably works fine too. But jeez.

Hasta

Commento di Thottbot

Combat rogues don't have too much of an issue with these guys. Pop evasion, Blade Flurry, adrenaline rush, and make sure you've got slice and dice active. At level 66 I manage to down them and the adds with my health still over 35%. Really not worth farming them for anything if you've got mining. Fel iron drops the motes of earth more often, and you don't have to fight them for it.

Commento di Thottbot

Fun, but lengthy, solo for a 61 tauren feral druid. Bear form's a must, kill each add as soon as it spawns. Keep FFF and Demo Roar up at all times. Heal via Frenzied Regen, Bash -> Healing Touch and/or Warstomp (tauren ftw) -> Regrowth + Rejuv.

Be sure to loot the Crimson Crystal Shard these drop, as it starts another quest with nice rewards.

Commento di Thottbot

yea this guy is really hard 2 kill but if ur lvl 60 mage use all ur cooldowns and use ur water elemental if ur a frost mage!

Commento di Thottbot

Funny - it says that they are sell stuff as vendor.

I want to look at deal like that =)

Coming close to Giant and make order:
Two Coctails, big-tasty and some fries =)))

Commento di Thottbot

No longer kiteable, cuts off halfway before town.

Commento di Thottbot

quite easy to solo as a rogue, just kidney shot at 80%, 50% and 30% then no adds will come, use evasion / blind + bandage as needed as it will still hit you moderately hard

Commento di Thottbot

Dumb question but how are you supposed to know when he's casting if you can only see up to his middle?

Commento di Thottbot

62 feral tauren druid, started out in cat form, did a quick pounce, stunned him, mangle, rake, mangle again then a rip, switched to bear form where i had 9.6k health, stun at 78% to prevent from splitting, used war stomp just above 50% to prevent next split. Healed, back to bear form wore him down, ran off from the rest of the little rock guys after that. Slow painful process...

Commento di Allakhazam

These guys don't hit exceptionally hard, but their shardlings can be a problem if you're trying to solo it. They spawn a non-elite, low health shardling at 75%, 50%, and 25% health with a red bolt of lightning effect. If you're kiting one of these and see the red bolt, you can avoid agroing the shardling by waiting until the colossus leaves the shardling's agro radius before resuming attack.

When I was doing the quest on my mage (at Feb 25, 2008), I found that these guys would reset if kited too far from their spawn point. Either Blizzard nerfed the ability to kite them to town, or there was some other reason for the reseting problem. Running them in a large circle worked well enough for soloing them instead.

Commento di Allakhazam

Granted, I was doing the associated quest for these guys as a level 64, but they can be solo'd. Obviously, classes with pets will have the easiest time.

They key is, they are not immune to fear. If they are feared, they don't seem to spawn the shardlings.

Commento di Allakhazam

WoW....

Easier than I thought to solo. Solo'd as fire mage. I'm guessing alliance gets the easy way. Just kite to the guards.

Commento di Allakhazam

Easy to solo as a lvl 62 affliction lock. Send in succy, dot up (CoA, corrupt, immolate, unstable, and siphon life) and chain fear. if done correctly only one of the adds will spawn, if at all. just gotta make sure he doesnt run into any other giants.

Commento di Allakhazam

On my 2nd kill Pendant of Cunning dropped for me =)

Other than that as a demon/destro lock these are very easy to solo, just DoT and fear.

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know the reason for being able to mine these guys? As far as I can determine they give no skill up and I've only gotten gray Crystalline Fragments.

Commento di Allakhazam

I soloed this at level 61 ferel druid. Its much easier whit the new patch out as berserk and mangle come in very handy as well as pounce

Commento di Allakhazam

its definently worth mining them, first one i mined i got a nightseye, which when cut, sold for over 70g

Commento di Allakhazam

I found that kiting these are very easy, also might not have known this just by this text. Because i sure didnt, the second you start damaging these guys they reduce in size and strength, its very easy to kill them, like a surprise its so easy.

Commento di Allakhazam

In case anyone is wondering you need 315 mining to mine these guys.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm doing this with a friend, (me lvl 62 hunter with a lvl 63 rogue) and we still can't handle them for all the adds that spawn

Commento di Boxofbeer

Raging Colossus is a quest related mob, you need to kill them to complete Colossal Menace quest. Also drops Crimson Crystal Shard

There are only one location you can find those mobs within - to the north of Cenarion Outpost, just across the road.
The quest is actually hard to solo by the most specs at 61-65. Mobs are elite, hit quite hard and can summon adds after every 20 - 25% HP lost.
Warlocks can beat them easy by keeping fear & dots up on them, just beware of pulling another giants. They also dont summon adds while being feared.
