Antu ' sul Antu ' sul is a level 48 elite named troll found in Zul ' Farrak . Location . To get to his cave , you follow the Zul ' Farrak path to the east ( killing along the way ) . You ' ll notice break in the wall in the scarab room and you ' ll see a path through the mountains to the south with basilisk s ( see the map ) . Your group should take these out . As you approach the alcove , you ' ll see a cave set into the side of the hills . The first thing to do to survive this encounter is to NOT get anywhere near the cave . A large circle in front of the cave ( which you cannot see ) acts as a trigger spot such that if you step on it , Antu ' sul will start the fight without you being prepared . Note that this is a trigger spot and hence immune to various tactics you might come up with , such as sneaking into the cave , charging in , etc . The first time we tried to fight him , he was root ing the whole group repeatedly , so we thought we ' d be clever and fight him in the cave ( Druid rooting doesn ' t work inside caves , so we thought we ' d give it a shot ) . However , as soon as we stepped on the spot , he charged out ( in less than a second ) and summoned basilisks . Which gets us back to the first tactic . Clear everything outside of the cave , without hitting the trigger spot . Next , when you are prepared , have your tank hit the trigger to summon . Combat Info . At the start of the battle , he will summon several basilisks ( which you cannot prevent ) . As soon as you are about to kill him , he summons several more ( and more difficult ) basilisks . After you cleared the area without pulling him , have your group stay together on the same spot , then let the tank pull the boss . Six non - elite add s will spawn and run to your group which is on the same place , so area - effect spells will kill them in several seconds . As Antu ' sul loses health , he will spawn more elite - basilisk adds . It is important to completely stop damage on Antu ' sul and focus on the add until it is dead before you reengage Antu ' sul , or you will end up fighting 3 - 4 adds - with a good group you might get him down , but the 3 - 4 elite adds will be a certain wipe - if you focus on the add instead you will have 1 Elite add and Antu ' sul only at any time which is very manageable even for a lowbie group , as he will not spawn more Adds if he doesn ' t get damaged . For a lower level group , the biggest problem you might have is that your primary healer will run out of mana - - especially if you don ' t all focus your hitting on the basilisks one at a time ( because he / she will then have to heal a greater number of people who have less armor ) . Mana potions are invaluable in this case . Thus , everyone should focus on killing the basilisks one at a time , except the tank who should be trying to keep aggro on everything . Someone should be delegated to protecting the healer because he / she ' s bound to draw aggro keeping the tank alive while the rest of the group kills off the basilisks . The other thing to look out for is that Antu ' sul drops totems frequently . Someone with a fast attack , such as a rogue , should be on totem duty . It ' s a fun but challenging fight , and as much of Zul ' Farrak shows , group dynamics are starting to play a bigger role in the success or failure of an instance run . Pet Pull Trick . There is a trick to kill him in an easier way . If you have a warlock with a voidwalker or a hunter with a pet , have the pet get into Antu ' sul ' s cave first . He can get in the circle of aggro without triggering his attack . Have the pet attack Antu ' sul and then get the pet back . This way the Antu ' sul will not get those lvl 40 non - elite basilisks and the beginning . Thus , mage s / warlock s / hunter s don ' t have to waste time with AoE spells to take out the non - elites and the tank won ' t have to waste time getting those pesky basilisks off the casters . If all DPS is concentrated on Antu ' sul he will be downed with time only to summon one basilisk . This trick is not yet confirmed to work with other warlock pets than a voidwalker . Quotes .
