  • Fuck you Captain Fuckwit! you buggy laggy cunt. anyway cool vid! u make it look easy. try this with 500ms!

  • I tried this just staying behind by a center meter and it says i failed :(

  • lmao the song... hell yeah

  • Yep, yep. Great. Beg a paladin for Crusader Aura and you're done with the captain.

  • Got him on my second try...lol

  • ok now it my turn, well what point am still gonna lose.

  • Eleven tries still failed

    

  • He seems to be 50% faster then I am, wtf??

  • can u still get u drake if u dont do this

  • ARgggh Skyshatter can fucking go kill himself for all I care!!!

    I do this technique then he somehow gets infront of me and fireballs fucking fly out from nowhere and i get hit beehind|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THX SOOOOO much i did it right after i watched this !!!!!!!

  • Is he like incredibly fast for anyone else?

  • @jfrito123

    lol he's the final competitor to fly against, he's fast for all :P

  • Just a little tip that might help you see him: mark him with an X or something that stands out if you keep confusing him with the guards.

  • 2 things has happend sinse then, you wont fall off if you get hit, and you cant fly that far away from him\

  • ty, helped me complete this shit on my alt lol

  • Very Helpful! Got it on try #4 because of you! appreciate it!

  • I have won over captain skyshatter. yey!! your video helpt alot!

  • its so damn HAARRDDD

  • is this a fucking joke... wen i play he burns the FUCKING SHIT out of me i swear his mount speed is like 700%

  • Thanks for the great video, I'd tried a few days ago and kept falling behind and failing but after watching this a few times today to learn the route I got it on my first try!

  • thxs for the guide, really helped me

  • this is easy as hell my problem is he disappears its really fucking frustrating

  • omfg when i was about to complete it was about to shit my pants -.-

  • 3rd try thanks to this freakin video!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! HELLZ YA

  • I got it on my 5th try. You just have to have your eye on him the whole time. I did it with no buffs. Just don't take your eye off of him without letting flaming balls get in your sight lol :)

  • Being a paladin on this was quite nice.

  • this thing is BS its really impossiblie its taking me 40 tries,im not even exagerated

  • i hate this quest so much been failing all week !

  • beat him on my 5th try^_^ no fancy buffs or whatever used. didnt have to really memorize the path either. just dont be dumb :p

  • in the past i tried this one to simply endure many failed attempts. (rogue). today hwoever i tried again on my paladin, mixed with the crusader aura (faster mount speed) and the 3.3 patch (cant be dismounted by meteors) i literally did it first try. insanely over-easy and saddening to know all those wasted hours on my rogue wernt well spent.

  • i hate that now he stops when he gets hit

  • Just finished the whole thing today. Happy.

    Make sure the distance gap between you and him is small, as you will fail. It is actually shorter distance than with others. Also, he tends to bring you closer to the ground, and if you are hit by mobs on the ground, you fail quest. The best thing to do is to fly next to him and avoid getting hit too many times as you will fall behind. On the way back to base, fly slightly ahead of him but not too far ahead: maybe, like 10 yds ahead of him. GL!

  • Just tried this. I got knocked out at the very last second, after he even proclaimed me the new top orc X.X

    But this video helped a lot.

  • did it on first try... its easy anyway, i dont see how this vid is suposed to help lol

  • i was so lucky

    when i raced him a was hit by his meteor i thought "another fail" but i didnt dismount, i thought it was a lil bug, later on i found out that i couldn't dismount at all by his meteors :D so in the end all i did was folo him and stay ontop of him and did it

  • @LichKingBoi Patch notes for 3.3: Players can no longer be dismounted by knockback effects...

  • Dude thnx alot for this video it helpt me really out :D:D:D

  • So much for keeping the casual player in mind when designing this one.

  • yes, this quest is riddiculously hard, the guy before was hard, but this guy is practically impossible.

  • thanks for the vid mate. triede him bout 10 times before i gave up and went looking for strategies. found your vid, had a look trough and got it done on one try=) thanks.

  • The worst part is when he yells out your name when you accept the quest. Then you fail the quest, and you have to re-accept the quest, and he yells out your name again.

    He might as well name yelling out "he failed again... let's try this one more time!"

  • @pratikh hahaha I'm having this right now, I'm even more ashamed because I'm kinda popular on my server as a very good player... he's like trashing my reputation -.-

  • when i try to defeat him he owns him self with the bombs WTF ??

  • he just freezes for a sec when he lights on fire. he starts moving again shortly thereafter

  • this quest sucks big time but i'm goiong to get it hahah tring now over 6h and still failing

  • yeah i spent a good 3 hrs on it so far, so much for "yeah you can do a quest in about 10 minutes usually"

  • Comment removed

  • dick! jk not really tho

  • depends on the person i spose mulv was a real bitch for me but i did skyshatter on first

  • I don't see how people find him easier than Mulv. I did Mulv second try. I've been trying Skyshatter for two hours flat, and I haven't gotten to the 2/3 stage yet.

  • Skyshatter seems to know that I've seen this video, for upon going back into the game he has become rather backtrack-happy.

  • Really annoying that he has a much shorter leash than Mulverick, but imo easier than him. Didn't have a pala or any speed enhancers, just do it a few and remembe the course he takes and you'll know when to take shortcuts ;D

  • It's impossible when he's getting speed boosts all the time...

  • tried if for >3 hours

    won't work

    fuck blizzard and their "nicely programmed quests"

  • I have the same problem as dinethon, I hate Skyshatter when he does that...

  • i couldnt do it with my dk but then i redid my talents for the speed bonus and i finished it on my first try

  • do you even have to do this quest?

  • You don't have to but it's +1000 rep

  • wow shatter is an idot he gets hits himself with his own fireballs so he stays behind and i keep going and that=FAILED QUEST that sucks

  • Its funny because I get in front of him, same distance the whole time, and I get a random meteor to the face. This is an invisible meteor nonetheless.

  • i cant get this fucking quest done, and im a fucking druid..

  • you need to have a palli with you to get the speed bonus

  • yeah i finally got it done, idk how i guess its just pure luck i was like FUCK YESS spamming in party chat lmao that quest is bullshit

  • were you with a palli or did you pull the impossible? i cant find a damn palli to help me out, so im alone just farming eggs.....im at 25% revered right now so i should have it by tomorrowish and your right his quest is bullshit

  • i pulled the impossible?

  • holy cow shit your screen is huge!

  • It took me almost a full day to beat him, and I only managed after I had three guild mates join my group to soak some of the meteors for me. Toward the end, RIGHT over the landing strip, he bugged out on me and reversed directions repeatedly for a full minute. I had to dodge meteors frantically that whole time; his leash is so short that if you're not right on him, he despawns.

    Worth it in the end for the sheer sense of accomplishment. The Skybreaker Whip is useless but a hell of a trophy.

  • every time i try this tactic he hits himself with a damn meteor and stops and ther goes the race so far ...

  • I did it after about 6 failed attempts. Rep gain is worth it. (+1000).

  • after trying this bullshit for about 45 minutes, i decided that it was time to give up.

    i opened a ticket for a GM saying that the quest was buggy and he just gave me a quest completion :p

  • do they really just give u the quest completion if u say its bugged?

  • Comment removed

  • yea

    on a sidenote,this whole copyright shit is getting old real quick

  • hmm .. i tried it but i just got an email saying that they were going to fix it

  • This guy is a BITCH.

    I've failed over 40 times now, and once he even TURNED AROUND AND FLEW IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

  • Well, in all honesty, I lost more to Mulverick than this guy. It took me 4 tries, the three first I flew too far ahead, the last time I got hit by a meteor.

    I suppose I just got lucky, finishing it that fast, but it made me really happy nonetheless!

    Keep trying guys, you'll beat him!

  • if i go so far ahead of him like you did somethimes in this vid it says failed..

  • the one in blizzard who made this quest.... I will go and personally kidnapp him and make him do this quest 50 times then stab him in the eye!!!! Took me 2 hr to do this noob chain! thanks for showing some tacs...

  • Well cmon, whats a game without challenge right? :)

  • GrrGrGRGrrr!!! I dunno why but the first time i raced this dude he was soo easy.. Now he does this crazy deal where he turns around and stuff.... Really one of the toughest quest

  • can you become exhalted without beating this guy?

  • of course just grind more eggs

  • I truly fucking hate this fucking quest, I've been trying all night but unfortunately those guides are quite disorienting because you keep moving the camera about all the time so you're not 100% sure where you are at that bit. I appreciate that you need to do that to keep an eye on skyshatter mind.. dammit someone should make a checkpoint-based mod for this race, then you could just follow the mapnotes and dodge the flames.

  • Why the fuck hasn't someone done this?

    That's a great idea.

  • to practice dodging whitout doing this quest, is going to blade edge mountains and go to the left bottom cornor of the map, only acceseble whit flying mount. some fell canon likly things will shoot at you :D

  • thats idiotic, both the meteors and the fel cannons can knock you off even if theres no graphic near you

  • you must have done it a hundred times to remember the route and go ahead of him. I am still failing at it.

  • Ok well I did exactly everything you did in this video and he always disappears at some point...wether its right at the end (4 fucking times so far...) or its on the 1st bloody corner (5 times in a row...) this apparently only works for some of us...I'm a pally so I have the aura which helps but still...I'm right beside him or slightly ahead and hes disappearing...whats up with that...mega bugged I would say...tried this about 3 months ago, tried about 30 times in a week then gave up...

  • you cant fly to far ahead

  • As I said..."I'm right beside him or slightly ahead and hes disappearing"

    And now this is a bloody achievement with the new system in place!!! Bah! /slap Blizz

  • i've got the exact same problem.

    Me and my friend did him over 40times YESTERDAY.

    So atm i have to puke if i see him...

    And the best part is yet to come; i made a ticket. and you know what the GM said ? :p

    "i'd give up if i were you" xD

  • That comment just made my day. :D

  • i never did that q, i think ive spared a lot of time with it

  • didnt find anything easy in this video...no tips...nothing

    its just a normal complete

  • Man did you use a riding crop or somehting? I always seem to lsoe him after he passes the town

  • i used a riding crop

  • thx for the help beat it 2nd try :)

  • I have try and try and try.. after he fly over the landing place the first time and turn right then left he disepear.. And its failed.. always on the same place. why??

  • 2:17 in movie.

  • It's a known bug.. Sometimes he does that :(

    Try going behind him before you get there, that's what I did.

  • I did the whole thing and at the very end when he was landing he disappeared and it said i failed so i was really upset but whatevs

  • Thanks for this video :-) I watched it enough times that I had the course memorized and made it a lot easier than Mulv

  • i did this literaly over 100 times i just cant beat him... i always get hit by an invisible meteor when im almost done and i stay behind/above him all the time

  • Alt-Z, zoom out, stay ahead of him and above him, cut corners. Simple.

  • Quest Chian you get when you're honored... and if you have an epic flyer and finished Zuluhed the whacked chain... you should very well know your mount gets changed into a dragonmaw drake.......

  • its rainbow road all over agian.....

  • The only reason I had an easier time on mulv was because I wasn't attacked by invisible fucking meteors. I would have finished this race by now if I could see the attacks.

  • I can manage the stay ahead of him part... but everytime you make that pass by the village and you have to watch for his doubling back... I get nailed by an invisible meteor shortly after.

    This quest is the biggest pain in the ass ever.

  • fuck this q omfg

  • I beat Mulv in two tries, hes a noob compared to Skyshatter imo which took me damn near a dozen tries. Whole key as shown in video is staying ahead. Full screen def helps, and being naked can be a lot easier on the wallet. Two middle fingers up for Blizzard on the reward for this, which is the same goddamn thing as a riding crop which you most likely already have anyway if you want to beat this guy.

  • nope sorry dood they do not stack :D

  • hardest quest in whole game imo

  • Mulv is harder imo

  • total agree. and captain still is waiting for me aswell.. im trying mulv for hours now..

  • woot just got mulv dead , hope ur vid inspires me for capt :-)

  • just did this quest after 3 n a 1/2 hours of trying, hardest quest EVER! My tactic was simple i used this video here to memorize the hard parts of the race...the turns and stuff then tryed my best to stay ahead of him which worked the whole time. Note: I DID NOT USE A RIDING CROP OR GROUP WITH A PALLY! so yes it can be done its very hard but dont give up its worth the rep and free whip! the other thing in the begining DO NOT try to folo him str8 off the runway wait about in the middle of his

  • turn and then get ahead of him just use the vid above to learn where to turn and look back to see how much room there is between u and him so u know wether to cut a corner or jsut ride through it like him it will work just takes time.

  • I tried this tactic after losing lore than 15 times, still I wasn't able to beat him.. I had a break and drank some beer and tried again and I beat him on the first try :D

  • haha 3rd try beat him :)

  • dang that didn't look too hard ( Mulverick was a douche) well i havent tried skyshatter yet im proly gonna die alot

  • What is this quest for?????

  • Thanks for making this vid. It sure helped me alot! Thanks to you this 1 was easier than Mulv :)

  • every single time I fly ahead, hes still clearly in view, and Im not even half as far away from him as you are and he dissapears and I just fail the quest.?

  • Fuck this stupid ass quest there is no way I can beat it i get hit by somthing thats no there every fucking time and im fucking pissed, Dumbass blizz cant cordinate some fucking meteors... worst quest EVER....GJ you must have pure skill to beat it

  • lol i did it so easy, oh well i play AoC now, netherdrake & nether ray cancelled, my war mammoth owns

  • Hmm, he simply flies right around the camp. Not sure how you can lose him there.. :)

  • This video was critical for my success. Took me about 13 tries, but I made practiced trying to get down the path.

    Once I mastered it, I kicked his ass, and stayed in front of him nearly the entire time.

  • damn, i lost track of him my first try  XD at least i didnt die like i did in mulv.. i tried that so many times... like five i think

  • I found another way to do it. Cooperate with a friend and let your friend fly just above you as a shield. I did it for a friend, I was thrown of my mount three times but he won. BTW, un-equip your gear before playing shield,

  • Woah, nice once. I hadn't thought of that. :)

  • You're all welcome, grats dudes and dudettes :)

  • i want to have your babies. i was up to mulverick which is harder than skyshatter imo. tried like 7 times and failed. then as soon as i used that command i completed first go. thanks heaps.

  • After watching this video i got it on the 3rd try, no riding crop.

    Thanks

  • Good luck!

  • That script helps alot, thanks. :)

  • I didn't use a riding crop or pally aura and I was able to beat this using this video in an hour - great stuff!

    If you have it in your bank still use the Carrot on a Stick for an extra edge!

  • Grats matey :)

  • You're welcome, feel free to post that vid as a reply if you want to :)

  • hes easy but to fast! i cant follow hem but hes rain of fire is no problem!.

    and yes i got 10 % speed in my trinket

  • You have to cut corners to gain distance on him :)

  • Wow nice tip with the noggenfogger, grats on beating him!

    Aye crop helps a hell of a lot with this fight. It means you don't have to cut so many corners to keep up with him, and gives you the edge you need to win.

  • Fight? Race* :P

  • Yeah riding crop is definitely recommended.

  • What I did to finally beat him was to buy a ton of Nogenfogger elixirs and drink until it did the shrink effect. It made me very tiny so it was easier to dodge the meteors. It took about 15 tries after that.

  • you can also use a riding crop if you dont have crusader aura. and you can buy those at the auction hall or have a friend make you one. but they only increase speed by %10. but it still works.

  • Please explain why you would need a paladin to help with this race.

  • A paladin would be able to use crusader aura, so as long as you stay in range of them your mount movement speed would increase by 20%#, so it would be easier to dodge the meteors and still keep up with him.

    It's not needed though, just helpful :)

  • did this first time on my druid, thx for the video that remind me about the flight :) now I got netherdrake on 2 chars :)

  • mulv was piss easy, this is insane

  • 110 tries and I can't still beat him. He's not Skyshatter, he's Chuck Norris.

  • Not quite, if he was Chuck Norris he wouldn't need that netherdrake to fly ;)

  • How much rep do you get for beating him?

  • 1100

  • Agreed, I found Mulv harder than Shatter :)

  • I just finished this the other day. At the part where you fell behind and had tod dodge meteors, I acutally managed to stay somewhat ahead/beside of him until the very end, where i almost lost him. I had to do this waaay too many time, but because I kept getting too far AHEAD of him :P

  • Yep it is possible to stay ahead for the whole race I think, but there's a lot of videos where he bugs out and goes crazy at the top of that mountain when you're ahead so I decided not to take the risk :)

  • i was able to stay alive and get to the base but i got hit by a meteor :-(

  • That happened to me on the guy before skyshatter, got hit on the runway but managed to sprint and keep in range for the last few seconds or so.

  • Dustin: Don't get dismounted and stay in range of him.

    P775: Ack, you'll get him mate. :)

    Banko: The maximum + mount speed you can get from items is 10%, so no it doesn't. This quest is just a free alternative to buying it really. Great for rep though :P

  • does the whip stack with a riding crop?

  • Attempt 16. Underway.

  • Now 17

  • so all you need to do is not get dismounted?

  • Its 1 of the hardest quests in this game I beat him in the 5th try :D

  • Congrats :)
