The Hidden Bosses - Karazhan Animals
For one reason or another there are several bosses in WoW that most people don’t know about or have been forgotten. Some drop great loot and some are just fun. Let’s take a look at one.
Karazhan Animals
Profile: Hound, Bat, and Spider gives phat lewtz. Who knew?
Where: Karazhan, servent’s quarters.
How: Shadikith, Rokad, Hyakiss
Loot: Random epic level 115 belt, wrist, or foot items. Get geared up for Kara. Find specialized role items.
I had always wondered what the servant quarter’s in Karazhan contained besides an infestation of spiders, bats, and hounds. I had been through it a couple times but never saw anything except these mobs, and the groups I had been with all skipped past it and headed to Moroes.
But in these quarters are probably one of the least know groups of bosses in the expansion. Most guilds likely skip them because they don’t know about them, have time constraints, or they are farming the instance for other loot. But these bosses are special and worth a stop if you aren’t on farm status with Karazhan, don’t have a full set of epics better than level 115, need some specialized loot, or are just curious.
We have talked about other hidden bosses.
Why? The loot they drop is as good as the loot in the rest of the instance. They are an easy kill, even a well geared group of five can take them out. But unlike the other bosses in Karazhan, they don’t save you to the instance! And because of that they can be killed over and over and over to easily gear up. This is likely designed to help groups getting started on Karazhan to get geared up, and is one of the best reasons to visit these critters if your group is in that situation.
The other unique aspect of their loot is that the itemization is entirely random. This is good and bad. It means you have less chance to get exactly what you want but it also means you can get some specialized pieces of gear to fill very specific needs. For example, an epic that is itemized for all plus healing. You won’t find that anywhere else.
To find these bosses you have to force them to spawn first. Head into the lower entrance of Karazhan, hang a right into the servant quarters, and start killing everything in sight. When you have killed all but the last couple mobs a random boss will spawn somewhere in the servants quarters. Backtrack and find it. It will be either a stealthed spider, bat, or hound. Kill it and loot. Wait for everything to repop, or disband the raid and reform. Rinse and repeat.
Have fun clearing the cobwebs and getting some nice easy items!
