Fineous Darkvire patrols the quarry outside of Lord Incendius' chamber. You will need to kill him as part of the quest to obtain the Key to the rest of Blackrock Depths.

Fighting Fineous is pretty much a standard tank & spank fight. Just be aware of the mobs lining the entire path that Fineous patrols and make sure you do not aggro any of them as you battle Fineous.

I just soloed him as a 70 holy priest (23/38/0 with a couple of damage talents in there), but god it was not worth the effort. Originally I tried soloing him in my smite-spam gear (~740 holy dmg, 20% crit) but after a long fight he was able to whittle me down. I found that my best healing gear actually worked better because it had high mana/5 and I was able to tank him long enough to whittle him down with SW:Pain and my wand. He hits very hard for his level, 600 with inner fire up (2990 armor). I started the fight by mana burning him all the way down so he couldn't heal. He dropped his shoulders, Lead Surveyor's Mantle, which gave me a Small Brilliant Shard. Ultimately, not worth the effort.

I came across him today while farming shards in BRD, but instead of patrolling, he just stands in one place, beside a Warbringer Construct and a small group on nonelite mobs. This is after soloing Bael'Gar and Incendius without Closing the gate in BRD.

Edit: I skipped him because I don't think I could down a boss, elite and 3 nonelites in one pull, but while killing a golem furthur up, he appeared out of nowhere and started attacking my pet... No idea on this one.

Solo'd as a 70 prot paladin in spelldamage plate - golem dies to consecration, and adds soon after since they keep draining themselves to heal him. Does tend to get hairy with runners and low mana at the end.

Commentaire de Knoxpwns

This guy turned out to be much easier then I thought he would be.
For starts, I'm a 70 marks/survival hunter. what I did, was waited for him to patrol up the ramp. I took this time I had to clear out the 3 non elites and the golem that was there, and also killed the golem that patrols constantly up and down the ramp.
I waited for him to come back down, and was easily able to put him down. his heals only hit him for maybe 2k, so I was actually able to out-dps his heals with autoshots alone.
So, I highly suggest clearing out the area while he is patroling for anyone who's not sure if they can't take them all.
the monicle goes great with the 3 piece tuxedo set, might i add :)
GL to anyone farming the place!

I managed to solo BRD through Fineous with my 62 semi-feral druid (non-mangle) for the Ironfel quest, but boy......talk about hairy.

I don't even remember how I got to him since I got very lost, but basically, I dropped *down* onto the area where Incendius is and stealthed to the entrance where Fineous patrols. He does patrol, but he's slow and stops in three places of the ramp that I could tell: top, middle, and bottom.

First I got rid of the two fire elementals that guard the entrance between Incendius and Fineous' area. Simple bear form and heals.

Then there is a patrolling Warbringer Construct that comes all the way down the ramp and almost to the entrance of Incendius' platform. I had to wait a while for him to come down, but he comes down far enough to pull individually (I waited until Fineous started patrolling away for this, since I didn't want to accidentally aggro him).

With Fineous patrolling up the ramp and the patrol Construct down, I finally took on the static Construct and his three non-elite ranged cohorts. The trick here is a line-of-sight pull behind the wall to Incendius' platform. That way I didn't have to worry about accidentally aggroing Fineous if and when he came down the ramp again. I had to heal myself at least twice as I took down the Construct first and then the three ranged fighters. Runners here are a bit risky. One almost made it to Incendius.

With this static mob group gone, I had the entire bottom ramp to myself and just waited for Fineous to patrol down again. I was in a few Outland greens, some Outland blues, and had the Warden staff. 20 stam/spi food buff, +30 Str buff. And I lost count of how many times I had to heal myself.

Fineous has a special attack that took off 600-700 hp per hit, not to mention that he heals himself. He sat at half health for a while as I just bore it and hoped he ran out of mana (which he did): frenzied regen, bash-heal, bash-pot, barkskin, nature's swiftness instant heal, lots of regrowths plus rejuv, and I even innervated myself once. I really pulled out all the stops for healing myself (the fight was so long that my cooldowns finished a couple times). A mangle feral druid might have an easier time with higher DPS.

He didn't try to run away, and finally dropped dead. Since I did it for the key quest and not a measly blue (shard), it was a little more worthwhile to me, but ouch.

Commentaire de Kimoshi

Soloed him today on a 70 arcane mage, about 10.3 HP unbuffed. Took me about 3 tries to finally get him; first two I tried when he was by adds, the third when he was pathing down, so i got him solo.

Even when he was solo, was a little challenging, between the constant pummels and mediocre DPS, I ended the fight at sub 20% iirc.

Probably be much easier as a frostie.

Commentaire de 102490

As stated before he is standing at the bottom of the ramp right after Lord Incendius and he patrols to the top of the ramp but he doesn't do that very often, so if you trying to farm him for shards it is not worth the time waiting for him to move to make a easy pull without adds.

I however soloed him tonight on my 69 hemo rogue with 6500 hp and he was quite easy when you can pull him without adds. I was lucky so he went up the ramp when i arrived to him so i could kill the elemental and dwarfes and down where he usually stands. Took a few minutes for him to come back down again but when he did i used one evasion (rogue skill +50% dodge) and he dropped quite fast. He hits for around 450 and has a special attack for 800 dmg (on leather armor in this case) which is not much if you are a melee class and can avoid damage by dodge/parry/block. Having the ability to interrupt his heals on short cooldown (kick in my case) is what make him easy, or very hard if you dont have it. I have tried to solo him with my mage in full epics and i could not do it.

Commentaire de 97434

Just solo'd him as a 70 fire mage. He is by no means a pushover (as opposed to the rest of BRD I've done so far). He likes to pummel a lot and is immune to frost nova and dragon's breath (at least the disorient). Note that he will heal more often than you can counterspell. I won't be doing this fight again, but if I did, I would probably bandage during the first heal and then counterspell the second one.

I think this would be fairly easy for a mage with good pvp epics (only had 7k hp) or a frost mage.

Darkvire is one of only two mobs in the whole game who drops a unique BoP shirt. The other being Doctor Theolen Krastinov in Scholomance.

This little bastard Hit's hard and fricking lasts like a lvl 70 boss. We were laughing so hard when three of us went in for the hell of it all kara/t4/badge geared a dps mage tank/dps warrior and holy pally. He lasted alot longer then he should have. I also soloed him (holy pally) but it took awhile and the fact that he heals himself was annoying even if it was only a small amount of life........Though why he kept casting what looked like Salvation on himself was beyond me.

Commentaire de 75972

I killed this guy because I needed the key for the engineer robot and for a tankadin he´s a cakewalk. I don´t know if he received a major nerf or something but I just pulled him and killed him along with a construct and lot´s of thoose annoying dwarves who keep them up. Maybe this was just to my advantadge because he kept healing the other dwarves instead of himself. So I you need to kill him don´t worry to much, I sure was after reading the above posts but I found him to be a cakewalk as of 08/04/22.

Commentaire de 160947

I was soloing him on my lvl 64 ret paly, and when he was at 2% he crit me for 666 damage and killed me, I'm not joking. And I was about to use a potion.

Commentaire de arkov

Not the easiest fight as a poorly geared 70 fire mage. The best thing to do before you start the fight is to clear the top of the ramp of the dwarves and machines to create a nice area to take him down in. Then go back and find a small group of NPCs and sheep one with the 'Fury of Ragnaros' buff to Spellsteal at the end of the fight. Kill the rest and steal the buff before you finish off the last one. Its not a huge buff at +25 damage, but if your gear is lacking every bit of spell damage counts. Quickly restore your health and mana then head back to where Fineous patrols and start the fight while your new buff is still active.

Start off with a pyroblast to do some big initial damage. After that I used a Gnomish Shrink Ray to make his melee attacks less powerful throughout the fight. He is immune to roots so he will be in your face often. Be sure to Blink away from him whenever possible to fire off a few quick spells without pressure on you. You can counterspell his heals, but as they only heal for around 5% of his health or so, the time is better spent getting in an evocation or a bandage. Bringing a mana or health potion could come in handy... I neglected to bring either but still managed it the second try. Good luck!

those are pretty good instructions, i found him

Commentaire de Thottbot

I'm lvl 58 rogue trying to get Shadowforge key and wondering if anyone knows whether this guy can be soloed, or if the mobs are just too think to isolate him, assuming one can readily stealth past everything to get to him.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I'm a 60 rogue and I tracked him down today. There are 2 patrols that I aggro'd 1 each time I tried to kill him but it didnt matter because he was hitting me for 550+ dmg every swing, while his hP didnt seem to go down much at all. Ill get a BRD group tonight and go kill him.

To another poster, you dont need the shadowforge key to kill Incendius.

Commentaire de Thottbot

This guy is definitely under conned, I was in a group that aggroed him, one of the golem pats, and a few non-elites, i was tanking (57 warr), we had a 60 hunter, 60 rogue, 60 druid, and a 54 priest, we very nearly wiped, the hardest part is when he gets to about 1/4 health, and starts healing himself, I shield bashed him to stop him the first time, and since im prot specced, he was silenced as well, however, he somehow healed again after only 3 or 4 seconds, when he qwas suppossed to be for at least 6-8. it seems he has high resistances since our druid was only hitting him for about half his normal nature dmg.

last of all, he hits HARD, buffed with 6500 armor and in defensive stance (67% dmg reduction), he was hitting me for 200-250 a hit, i would hate to see what he does to a cloth wearer, that seems ROUGH.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Killed him with 2 hunters last night. Once we realized he was freeze trappable it was pretty easy. We unloaded on him until both pets were dead, then froze him, rezzed pets, healed up, and finished him off. Lots of fun!

Commentaire de Thottbot

me 57 rogue and another 57 rogue went for him. we cleared a nice little spot off at the top of the ramp and waited for him. We both died... he is tough, we both used pots and all our tricks but it just didn't seem to be enough. we were close though so going to wait until 58 and get a couple of holy resistance potions and try again.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just a helpful tip, he is stunnable. This helped me (60 rogue) and a 60 druid beat him.

Commentaire de Thottbot

What lvl is this guy? he seems to be a tough one :) I need one of his drops, but seems like an 48 priest need to w8 o.O

theres a range of lvls that u can go into brd at
its just depends really. u see alot of 59-60 but thats cause of ony chain and stuff. as a priest.. mabye lvl 54 would be ok. on my druid i ran st for awhile and then headed to brd at 55

Commentaire de Thottbot

"if you've got the skills and people anyone can beat him" wow another helpful comment.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I figured I'd give a go at trying this solo as a challenge since I still needed this key anyway. Reaching him wasn't that hard as a nightelf hunter thanks to skipping some mobs here and there with feign death+shadowmeld, or killing a group of mobs if necessary. The trick to kill groups solo is setting a freeze trap for one of the mobs, and going allout on a mob (starting with the nonelites ofc) and feigning when it's dead. Maybe using some wingclip kiting if necessary. Repeat until the entire group is dead. As for the arena event, I managed to kill a few of the worms that spawned but feigned and at some point they despawned anyway and the gates opened.

Well it didn't take me too long to reach the final area downwards with the golems and Fineous. I noticed he walks all the way up so if you're patient enough you only have to kill the first group consisting of 1 golem and some nonelite workers. Trapped the golem and killed the workers using the method above, and finally killed the golem by chaintrapping it with fd+trap while pet still had aggro so it didn't run/evade back.

Unfortunately I found out that Fineous wasn't trappable or slowable (wingclip) which made things alot more complicated. To give myself some good kiting room I cleared most of the golems and workers, aswell as the mobs in the area in front of the dark vault, before giving it a few tries. I also killed the fire elementals beyond the door downstairs so I could jump down from above. Unfortunately, in all my attempts, Fineous started evading at one point or another. In my best attempt I got him down to about 40% but he stopped a few times to cast a "small" heal (looks small but since he has a ton of hp it's probably quite a bit) and eventually he started evading again. I gave up at that point, guess I'll have to go do it with a few others. ;)

Commentaire de Thottbot

I've seen a video of a mage solo'ing him, from start to finish. I managed to accomplish it on my Warlock, also.

I did it with a 30/21/0 build. 5k HP, 4.5k MP, +370 dmg.

This is what I did to take him down. It's similiar to the way some classes take down Incendius.

Upon entering BRD, take the first door on the left of course. Clear out the roaming fire elemental.

Next, get past the elites. I usually take down the first group you come across, so you don't have to deal with it again if you die and have to run back, along with the demon dog to the right. The rest of the groups, you can just run between them, timing your moves for the ones that move around. For those that solo Incendius regularly, you know the drill.

Once you get to the hallway with the fire elementals, just banish one and burn down the other. Your going to resist them a lot, and should have no problems clearing the hallway.

Once your up to Incendius, just kite him around his room using the circular ledge that runs around his room as others have noted. I usually finish this fight with full health and half mana.

This frees up his room, and your going to need it for kiting Fineous.

Fineous paths to just outside Incendius' room, so we don't have to go far. There are a couple golems and the little miner dudes you'll need to clear out first to pull Fineous clean. So just wait for Fineous to path away, then pull the trash. Once the trash is cleared, it's time for the Fineous pull.

I opened with Soul Fire, and then Immo. Start running to Incendius' room, dotting him with Amp'd CoA, Siphon Life, and Corruption. Now start running around the circle. I usually hit a Demonic Rune at this time, and Fel Stamina running to recover health.

Now, due to the anti-kite code, your going to have to stop and nuke him every 20 seconds or so. I used Searing Pain for the fast cast and cheap mana, as I just want something to keep the anti-kiting code from kicking in. Also, make sure you don't get too far out of range of him, or he'll evade.

You'll find that you can stay ahead of him decently, and Fel Stamina is enough to help recover from when he does land a hit.

You'll want to draw his health down ASAP at the beginning. Once he starts throwing heals, then your gravy. Because at that point when you hear him starting to heal, you can hit him with a Searing Pain and start moving again and he won't land a hit.

At that point, it's just a matter of attrition. Since Fineous shouldn't be hitting you hardly at all at this point, it's easy to keep Lifetapping and DoT'ing/Nuking him.

Consumables that I used were healthstone, demonic rune, major mana potion, and major health potion. Trinkets used were the AB trinket and Royal Seal.

I did this in Rank 10 gear and low-end epics. Someone in higher end gear could probably do it with a lot less consumables and a lot less time then it took me (About 4 minutes or so).

He has a little over 28k HP. When he stops to heal, it's normally for about 3k.

It will take a lot of practice. The trickest part for me was moving around the edge and DoT'ing/Nuking without falling into the lava. DoT'ing on the run is easy, but nuking means you have to stop, turn, nuke, turn, run. Start running before your fully turned and your SOL.

Good luck trying it yourself! Took a lot of runs, 20 or so, before I actually got it right.

i soloed this guy the other day as a 60 warlock. a few epics in gear and only +103 damage. im affliction specced so i soloed incendius etc, killed the golems + adds when i took them back to where incendius is. the key to killing fineous is to DoT the *!@# out of him (with affliction is makes it alot easier) then send your void walker to attack him every 20 seconds and recast UA. rinse and repeat for about 10 minutes and boom you've done it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Since the patch pretty easy, bear with imp lotp to keep you alive. Just go slow and steady, your damage will outdo the heals, bash and healing touch + rejuv every time bash is up, eventually he dies.

Commentaire de Thottbot

You say go through the locked gates with a rogue, but HELLO, the POINT of this quest is to get the keys to those locked doors! and i want to know where he is, cuz im not waiting for a rogue!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Level 60 lock. 30/0/21

Granted, I wasn't alone when we approached him (came from Incendious' side). I went with a low level group just for the sake of being helpful. Well, we pulled him, one of his constructs, and a few non-elite buddies. The rest of the group wiped with everything but Fineous and the construct. Shadowbolt finished off the construct, thanks to Nightfall. Fineous was at full health, by healing or lack of damage, I don't know. But I just let VW tank him while I put up my dots, replenished mana via lifetap, and drain life'd a bit. Sacced VW because he was almost dead and spammed shadowbolt and dropped shadowburn during a heal attempt. Not terribly tough, just took a little time.

I soloed fineous as a lvl 70 rogue.
I have mostly blues and a purple or two.
(http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Anvilmar&n;=Luxerasi)

Strategy:
When you get to his room by way of the passageway with Lord Incendius, hop carefully onto the railing on the right-hand side and stealth up. There may be a point where you have to move to the center of the walkway to avoid a golem. When you are on the middle of the 4th ramp (the one right before the next area) wait. When a patrolling golem comes, take it down (make sure fineous isn't coming up the ramp first though). Hop back on the railing and wait for Fineous.

When he comes up, distract him so he's facing away from you (on the railing) then attack. He hits for ~500 every time he connects. Occasionally he'll do a special attack which does ~800 damage. My advice is to use evasion, preparation (if you have it), then evasion again. at maybe 50-40% health he starts casting several Holy Lights at intervals. Just use kick to stop him. Use health pots as neccesary.

He is immune to poisons and stuns.

Good luck!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Soloed today as a 67 shadow priest used a major healing pot, you can walk past alot of the mobs and was able to solo arena to get to him so it wasnt so bad. +420 spell dmg 6khp and 7700mana had plenty of mana left at the end so i prob should have popped outta SF to heal i had about 1000k hp left at the end but it wasn't too bad. only took 3 tries to get the strat down which basically I stood there dotting and mind blasting. Very important to keep the dots and vamp on him as he will bash you which causes like 7-8 sec's where you can't cast any spells. Otherwise GL!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Soloed as 70 Undead Rogue with 60-68 blues/greens and season 1 glad maces 0/20/41 sub spec.

At times he hits hard, but just play it smart. He is not immune to cheapshot/kidney shot so stun him up. I didn't have to use evasion, and I bet it would have been even easier if I had better gear. He got my to 3.7k health out of 8000 before I 1300 hemo crit him.

I use to have this shirt (master builders) back in the day but I deleted it by accident. Got it on the 4th run of just casually going. Put on my old full bloodfang set and this and ran around origrimmar looking sexy.

Commentaire de Thottbot

He's not immune to impact, my mage, arcane/fire specced, could easily do this by running up and down the hall and kiting with blink and fire blast, and counterspelling the heals.

Just soloed the guy with my palatank 66, he is also a paladin (heals, blessing of justice) but with a rogue kick... That would be nice for paladins...

Pally vs pally, I guess everybody knows this have been a very long fight (around 8mins). Yet, the bastard still doesnt want to drop the item for the FFF key quest. I dont know what to do anymore ...

Solo'd Him this morning on my mage for the key, was not an easy fight, Wait for him to wander up a part of the corridor with no golems near, and start pounding, got him although, he nearly got me, Luckily I used a pot, Health stone, and Bandages, to get em down, Good luck

Commentaire de Thottbot

Simply head over to the ring of law (lower section with the gates), start the encounter by walking into the middle.

You'll face a bunch of lvl50 spiders (around 5-10) which are a lil bit of a pain. Then, you'll fight a lvl 52+ spider which is quite easy at 70 as you'll resist almost every single shadow bolt of his.

After this, the gate which was to your left when you entered will be open with a ramp leading up past the shadowforge key requiring gates you passed earlier.

Commentaire de Thottbot

soloed at 60: wanted that key

(its hard, until he starts to heal, then its piece o cake, just let him heal till hes out o mana, while he heals, u can heal, and u often kill more hp then he heals, so it goed slow, but it goes. Till he's at half hp just bash-healing touch-bear. All the fight in bear.)

Considering what I read about this guy so far, I am sligthly discuraged to solo him with my lvl 52 pally in the Blade's Edge realm. My pally is my first and strongest character in WOW, and since I got the Ironfel quest I thought I might pay him a visit. Dam, I really need that key and I don't want to wait until I'm lvl 60. I just don't have a lot of spare time to gather a group so I thought there is gotta be a way to solo him. Advice anyone?

Commentaire de Thottbot

Even for a lvl 70 rogue this can be hard, just kill of one side of the his patrol route he's on and then take him on. He still got a big amount of health and does quite some damage. He also uses holy light so try to interrupt this when possible.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I got a bit annoyed about all these posts not really clarifying anything so I've decided to try and tidy things up here.

As a previous poster mentioned, once you get across the spectator section of the Arena, turn left and you will begin to go into Shadowforge City. Once you are across the bridge where the Fire Elementals are, your aim is to head north, which requires you to go down steps either to your left or right. Once you head down these steps you should come to a round section where lava is flowing etc. In the middle is the Black Anvil. You will see that you have to go around this area in parts and you need to proceed to the 2nd entrance on your right.

You will know you are in the right area when you start to see the Warbringer Constructs (the huge rock things). As you go down the ramps, you will see Fineous Darkvine around. He does patrol from time to time to where the little caves are with the non-elite Dwarves.

Hopefully this clarifies things a little for those who don't know where to go.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

As lvl 60 you can easily get past the guards necessary to get to Lord Incendious. With Mind Soothe you can use the lower path, that gets your through the large door, or you can go above. Erasing your aggro by jumping out of the window.
With the proper gear (fire resistance), Lord Incendoius is indeed solable. So is Fineous Darkvire. You kit him with SW:Pain/VE along the smallway that goes along the walls of the circular woom.
You run 1/4 of a circle along the walkway, turn around do a Mind Blast. By this time, he should've manage to reach you. Throw lesser rank shield and run past him. The curving of the room makes him stop for short periods, stopping him from hitting you continously. You run in a half circle always turning when you reached half of the walkway along the wall. If you try to kit him around and around in a circle he will lose aggro.

I only needed to use a Demonic Rune, Juju Guile and Stamina/spirit food.

This said, I doubt it can be done without high lvl Epic gear.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

It is possible to stealth to the locked door at the end of a gallery area, where there are 2 guards by a window on the left, and an unattended window on the right. You can then drop through the window on the right, onto the wide bridge that leds to Incendius's room.

From then on follow the instructions in the above post, to get to the Hall of Crafting and get the key.
