[JAMSquared80]

This video was great. I got the achievement no problem. Thanks!

[Islei00]

Quais addons de fishing são aqueles?!

[jetriot]

Thanks for the video, helped me earn the Salty title today!

[malerockdemon2]

@richardpjjsh fuckin retard hope you get banned

[McMaegan]

Your video helped make this one of the easiest fishing achievements to get! :) Thanks sooo very much. Perfect..just perfect!!

[sm0kingJay]

Works! Reccomend you bring noggenfogger to get slow fall or it will be endgame before it starts.. even if you are a shammy... although you should be able to reincarnate and jump cast water walk...

[bloodknightbg1]

wat addon do you use for the chaneling

[Oost89]

Thanks! You the man, man.

[Khyreena]

Thanks very much! That video is really clear and easy to follow :)

[TheZemalf]

@Khyreena You are most welcome. It's great that this little video I created nearly two years ago keeps helping people to this day :)

[pedem13]

works the DK path of frost to get there because its go away if you gets damage

[scorpionz7175]

thx alot

[GrimProwl]

Is this possible to do at 60? im a twinked warrior looking to get a unique title, and this is the only achievement in the salty title that might be hard to get.

[TheZemalf]

@GrimProwl I think you need to be level 70 to enter the Serpentshrine Cavern. So probably not possible at 60 :(

[GrimProwl]

@TheZemalf Damn, ill try for the hell of it, i wonder if a lock ports you in if then it would work. We will see!

[metalmanga]

@TheZemalf 68

[112famous]

@TheZemalf Wrong. You can get in the instance at 60 with a group gaurding you.

[TheZemalf]

@crusherbmx I flagged that comment for (obvious) spam :)

[SaintFookinJimmy]

Great video mate. Thanks heaps :)

[MrFuckinSunshine]

Great video. I did exactly as it said and had the achievement in just a few minutes.

[johnomonoia3]

you are in my server dude i think i remeber you does the name johnst ring any bells?

[EATPOOPSLEEP]

can you please tell me where i have to go to get fishing skills? :O

sorry new to the game. get back at me. thanks

[maplemandis]

You get fishing skills by fishing (no shit).

[EATPOOPSLEEP]

how the fuck yu fish when yu dont have fishing skills dickhead.

yu go to someone to get the fishing skills not by fishing

whatta dumbfuck.

[maplemandis]

Wow... Your grammar is astonishing.

[EATPOOPSLEEP]

thats not the point.

[Skyrift]

Thank you so much for this! I never would have guessed a Priest could solo this...a Druid, Paladin or DK sure (they can solo everything else), but not a squishy class like mine.

Very nice job with the video and directions. 5 stars!

[cokosel]

Could you tell me please, what add-ons where you using ?

[TheZemalf]

I use a whole lot of addons. Most relevant for the visible UI are: PitBull (Unit frames), Quartz (casting bar), Chatter (chat window controls), Bartender4 (action bars).

[dmoney11111111]

This was helpful but you don't necessarily need water walk or slowfall or whatever. As a prot Pally I dropped down in the same spot and swam to the first pipe, jumped up on the pipe healed and swam to the next one. On the next pipe you can walk straight up and over the bridge instead of staying the water. That takes you about a 3 second swim away from the platform. Saved by bubble for bubblehearth and got it win mode.

[g0sub]

Are u on a private? Cause i just did the achieve on official and you can see lurker jumping out and then go down deep in the water again, its cool. Btw how did u get that castbar? <3

[TheZemalf]

EU-Aggramar. Never understood those private servers (what's the point really).

It's been a while since I've been on, but if I remember correctly, the cast bar is Quartz. The Frames are Pitbull.

[dobby240]

Thanks for the vid, but i gotta say you dont need any of the spells and stuff if your lvl 80 and can stealth it. im a druid, i cant formed in using stealth the whole way jumped in the water when i got to the cirlce (i did get attacked but if you use a ton of healing over time spells you can swim right over and jump up) fished him up after about 4 tries and got the achievment. thanks alot!!

[Kataline96]

Thanks so much for making this video, makes it so much easier to figure out where to go. Can't wait to try it.

[TheZemalf]

@Kataline96 You're welcome. I'm happy this video has helped so many to do this. It's not like it's very hard, but it's easier when you see exactly how it's done :)

[DaBananaboat]

Tanks don't need a waterwalking thing, just use EVERYTHING to reduce damage taken and make pitstops.

[Zobrak80]

lol D:

[CalciumIRL]

Note to mages using water walking potion. Blinking removes the buff....

D:

[theDogsWater]

Sweet video,it helped alot! thanks!

Just did this on my mage - worked like a charm. I hit invis after he hit me once for 7k then hearthed out.

[xenoww]

Nice video really helped alot, i just did it with my warlock i just jumped down with shield on and used water walking pot while jumping up and went to place and i did get it with 1 cast :)

[DevilishFungus]

Great vid. I was expecting to be fishing for at least 30 mins, but got it on the first cast. Im a hunter, so no slow fall techniques, but I just popped out of the water and drank a water walk elixir on the jump. Thanks.

[TheZemalf]

Grats on getting it done... This one should pop-up relatively quickly (1-5 casts). Unlike Old Ironjaw which took ages for me :)

[metalslave94]

hey nice vid do u know how i can get "spotted feltail"? i need ser help:S

[TheZemalf]

@metalslave94 Spotted Feltail? Terokkar Forest I believe, or Zangarmarsh. Shouldn't be too hard to catch

[kimahri45k]

My shamans an engineer using th parachite buff on his cape. I'm going to follow this video and use his water walking and the cape to see if I can do it this way

[Fukincool123]

If you play pally I tell you: go stack some waterwalking and ''take it easy'' when you jump down so that you dont fall in water. thats how I made it as pally, solo.

[thepouchka]

erm how?

[Fukincool123]

indeed... how..

[kyuketsuki84]

Thanks, man! Got the achievement with your help =D

[deviant3232]

If you can get a healthstone and mana pot and time your water jumps you just go down the path to the swecond group of nagas and jump off twords the pipe, swim/jump for the pipe and pop your pots and if you're lucky then youll make it without dying.

From here you can pop water walking pots and walk it without losing your pots.

[TheKrogar]

You can stealth past first few groups then water walk from pipe to aviod fish death

[Golemoid]

ahh nice im gonna do this!

[BloodLineAuthor]

that was on fast elevator O.o

[FreakyNintendo]

At the part when i jump down into the water there are some fishes removing my water walking -.- so i had to use bubble and then wait for cooldown and use bubble again :o

[summnoer2584]

with the jumping part we did it where the bend is and the big guy is jumping. it was me and 2 others. the dk in the group just went to frost presence and we ran to the pipes.

[bronzeridder]

Tyvm

[Jasonrules007]

thanks for making the video man just followed the instructions use a elixer of water walking and a parachute cloak and now my undead warrior is one achievement closer to being salty. don't suppose u have any advice for the races in neitherwing been stuck on the fifth guy for like 2 days

[DillzyDr00d]

Thanks for the vid mate, did it on my pally. 3rd day i was finnaly able to enter SSC :P Idd, it's eaiser as a priest. Stupid fishes did 1k dmg a second on me

[Retartedflyinghippos]

Thanks for the video. I've been after the salty title right after I finished off the chef title. I only got to do this, get Mr.Pinchy's pet (I caught him, using the second charge today hopefully I get lucky) and win the Stranglethorn Vale fishing competition which I'll be preparing for today :D

[TheZemalf]

You have the tough ones left, Mr.Pinchy can be a pain because of the luck factor, I got my pet on attempt nr.8. Extravaganza I had in the back already before achievements were around = a lot easier. Goot luck getting that Salty

[Retartedflyinghippos]

Thanks. Actually I caught Mr. Pinchy a while ago. Last charge on him I'll use today. If no luck I'll just fish him up again. Luckily a player whos brother is in my guild decided to transfer over and he's won it 3 times so I got expert tips on it :)

[DaElimination]

whats the addon that you have that modifies your character icon, in the top right corner of the screen?

[Retartedflyinghippos]

I'm pretty sure it's pitbull

[ElectricMovements]

Very good video dude.

Dwarf and Dranei Priests <3

[Mechansus]

How much damage do you take if your underwater?

[iRamUrMother]

300 per secound but thats at 70 not sure whats its at 80

[DillzyDr00d]

without gear on i was taking 1k dmg o.o

[samrules11]

why do u die if u go under

[3DTyrant]

hang on....isnt the lurker ment to be waiting for you there?

[Headshotgod1338]

rofl u fking tard its the creature he's supposed to fish up, which he just did you blindfuck

[3DTyrant]

ive never been there befor, so shut your god damned fucking mouth

[mizzery2u]

what killed you at end?

[TheZemalf]

Lurker did. One of it's abilities

[bannikki]

tnxs for the video helped alot

[scxiao]

Great video, thanks man :)

[flokmania]

So i solo'd this like the vid showed but im a lock and had to find a way to fall alone. The Noggenfogger Elixirs from Tanaris are perfect. Use it until you get the " I Feel Lighter" buff. Float down and fish. Took me 7 cast to get it and then die...lol

[E5ARW]

Thanks for this video.

I just did this on my lvl 80 mage and found it easy with no death.

I used Elixir of waterwalking combined with slow fall.

After i fished him up i popped invisibilty and ran back across the water and stood on one of the pipe things that go down into the water and teleported out.

Hope this helps other mages out :D

[linksandrew]

can't do with only one + another now..3.1 killed it

[moonieass13]

I just did it with one other person in the group that wasnt in the instance/raid. 5th cast or so.

Then I died a painful death LOL

[bobdonda]

just did it on my hunter with only a waterwalking potion. jump down, feign death after the fish show up. once out of combat, hit the waterwalking potion and immediately jump.

[Samisa]

Thanks for this, me and a friend got it easily now that Levitate can be cast on others. Good video. =)

[MewMewKitteh]

Nice video mate, helped me out loads. :)

[joepaxo]

Really good video, Thanks alot! :)

[SSJ5Gogetenks]

Good video. When Lurker came out I thought you had escaped lol....but....

[wootvids]

what lvl is this insatance

[Mastermoviez]

70;...

[ToiletDog91]

anny chance a hunter can do it?

[g0r3g4sm]

Thanks a lot, I never raided Serpent Shrine. :D

[Klemardplusturtles]

SSC was so much fun, lurker leo and vashj were just so much fun of fights, i liked hydros to

[boebagie]

Thanks alot mate, gonna try it asap :)

[illidan48]

Lurker Below, isn't it? O,o

[chickenboy621]

the achievement is called The lurker above

[xyrgoz]

Dont know if my Levitate is bugged or smthin but when i used it i still fell into the water. So this guide is a "no go" for me :(

[marthamydear80]

Awesome video. Thanks a lot

[fireba11fireba11]

thanks alot, brilliant video, guna go try it now, i've been wondering about how to do this, and u've just saved me hours of reading, or pissing off my guildies by asking them ^^

[bobdif]

How do i get the waterfall to stop falling?

[TheZemalf]

huh? you have to be in a raid to enter.

[gabbe9199]

what skill in fishing do u need to fish there?

[TheZemalf]

read the description! (300 fishing skill)

[LINQ0311]

You are so awesome for making this video! Thanks a bunch...Im one step closer to my Salty title! :)

[rednass1]

What i do not understand is, and trust me, i completely followed the guide line, is why do i not get on the water? I alway's used water walk pot, then the cape the slow down fall, and i alway's fall through the water.

[coopmooo]

Water walking pot works same as when you are a ghost.. if you look down from the top and move you will go underwater.. just jump up to land back ontop of the water.

[LanceDH]

Used a water walk pot

jumped down

frenzies attack me

I die

cheers

[TheZemalf]

Water walking breaks if you get damaged. No-one said you should/could run over the frenzies. With water walk, they can still attack you. With levitate, one is high enough to avoid'em.

[starrweaver518]

Thank you so much for the video walk through. Very well done.

*quick tip* I decided to race my hearthstone against Lurker attack. As soon as I saw the achievement flash on my screen, I hearthed successfully. = Sweeeeet

You also have time to hearth in ZG once you summon Gahz'Ranka. = Woot

*Getting both achievements without dieing = swoot :D

[Aeufin]

Nice simple, clean-cut video. Strategy worked like a charm thanks!

[kittybrie]

Thanks for making the video - it really helped and was well done! :D!

[kingghidorah123]

Many, many thanks for this invaluable guide!

I did this as a mage using the slow fall spell and a water walking potion from the Shattrath daily quest rewards.

Another quick tip if you didn't already know: get a mate with an alt to join a group with you and convert it to a raid. Once done, your mate can then log out and carry on with another character but you can still enter Coilfang (and Zul Gurub for the Deadliest Catch achievement too).

Cheers,

Mark

[Akiroth1]

"There's the achievement, and there's the lurker... Bye Bye" *dies*

[Igam08]

Thanks for posting this, I just used slow fall (mage) + Elixer of Water Walking.

You made this very easy for a non-raider to find :)

[kaxu12345]

soulhunter, i just finished this today and had the same problem for my mage for the first time. I'll describe exactly how i did it the 2nd time (sucessful).

I used the water elixir, slow fall, then jumped, half way to the water, i blinked into the water, then jumped above it, no frenzy attacked or anything. now, just have to remain undetected in Orgrimmar till i get [Old Crafty]

[Peppercorn210]

Could i do this at lvl 56 or is it a 70 instance?

[TheZemalf]

SSC is a level 70 raid.

[Dezires1]

Thanks :)

[front243]

Thanks. I didn't have slow fall, but as I was a druid I could stealth my way past the few mobs on the platform and simply travel down to the water. Rest of the way to Lurker was very easy.

[P0mpan]

It ain't lava... + TheZemalf just told the reason, of why you die if why go underwater.

[firefoxstonecold]

why do u die if u go under water plz reply before i atement

[TheZemalf]

as I mentioned here already, there are Coilfang Frenzies in the water. They will eat you. So you need way to walk on water for this.

[SideshowLuc]

thanks :)

(I used the skywitch's Drape)

[P0mpan]

Why would you die if you gone underwater?

[TheZemalf]

There are Coilfang Frenzies in the water. The longer you're in the water, more will spawn.

[P0mpan]

Ah.. Okay thanks

[swordiesman]

1st comment and i cant find the achievement in the list
