How to get the Void Delver's Dirigible | Let Me Solo Him (Zekvir ??) Guide ► WOW: The War Within

[@skizilla]

Anyone saying this is easy is full of it. As a melee it's no joke.

[@wastedraccoon]

@@skizilla I guess it all depends on your class and spec too though. In my case I did it in roughly 20 attempts, possibly a little over, on my ilvl 631 Ret pally. In my case I had an answer to everything Zekvir threw at me so long as I reacted correctly (blessing of freedom to remove the snare, word of glory to heal if needed etc). IMO it really didn’t feel that difficult but in the end it all comes down to how quickly you can learn the fight like the mage towers from legion.

[@skizilla]

@@wastedraccoon yeah, and you still basically got smoked for 20 tries. And who in the real world is ilvl 630? Like no-one. I'm 622 (also RET) with BIS trinkets and a max level Bran with max level curios, and I've never even seen phase 2. I've had more success in a BM Hunter at ilvl 603 than my RET. I understand it's supposed to be the top solo challenge, but it's over tuned, and you shouldn't have to be a mythic raider or pushing 15 keys to do it successfully.

[@CWWJR]

Agreed. This guy is mythic geared though man. Its down right trivial if you are 625+ ilvl. The problem is most people are NOT. Its near impossible at 610 ilvl and anything past that it only gets easier. Anything over 610 is overgearing the content

[@ThatDudeDeven]

@@CWWJRI got to 623 just off of mostly delves until I was 620. *but I agree with everything else you said

[@ryanburden8060]

I did it on WW monk at 618 ilvl. Took me about 4 pulls to get the mechanics but it's by no means an easy fight. I used the queen trinket + ToD to completely take care of the eggs. Was the hardest thing for me

[@gest9574]

i feel like a sociopath designed this fight

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Zekvir is no joke. He hits like a truck.

[@Krizefugl]

That's the thing...don't get hit and space the health pickups to refresh the big hot they give and nothing but actual oneshots will kill you.

[@XadjustmentX]

just did this like 2 days ago finally. took like 100 tries but i eventually got it

[@amethonys2798]

Honestly my only huge gripe with the fight are the potential horrendously bad overlaps due to his spell queuing being seemingly random. It's really cool when the egg spawns on the other side of the room and the boss does the fear circle (sweet free dodge) and then immediately does the frontal cone that now takes up practically the entire room and is impossible to dodge on most melee smacking the egg.

[@rieyuki]

My advice to everybody trying this: set your expectations low and just assume you will be doing 200 or even more attempts, just like raiding progression during vanilla. The fight has so many bs mechanics and RNG, that it can be easy to become disillusioned and give up. Be patient, and try to learn what could have been done better: better understanding of mechanics, better understanding of your class’ burst dps abilities on egg, how not to get caught in one-shot aoe, etc. You’re NOT a bad player just because it took over 200 attempts. You will have the achievements and the void skin, and you won’t care it took that many tries. I’ve done ?? as frostfire mage (610) and as shadow priest (ilvl 600). You’d think the extra ilvl on the mage meant better dps, but honestly the spriest was able to burn down the egg just as fast. Each class has their own advantages and drawbacks, but if you know the FULL kit of your class, and understand all the mechanics, and persevere, you WILL beat ?? Zekvir.

[@CrystalPrelude]

The thing to remember people is this. Even if you have the gear, you may not get him down as easily as this dude. It may take you a hundred tries or more. But always remember that with each defeat, you learn and you get more and more comfortable with the fight. Eventually you will get him. Never give up. Also. I'd like to point out that monk is one of the most mobile classes in the game. Which makes this fight easier.

[@nolabets3130]

Love this comment, big true, just learn step by step and twat it like an elden ring boss 💪🙌

[@trustme2674]

took me 6 tries as Arms warrior with 618ilvl. thank you for the tips.

[@davidruf405]

This fight gave me Elden-Ring-Vibes thats for sure. I´ve tryed it so many times with different Chars and finally did it with my Demon-Hunter after min 75 Trys.. Pure Horror^^ but the feeling when he is down is awesome :D good luck everybody while trying!

[@dekafrost9071]

good videos, keep up the good work.

[@ConCon]

Glad you like them! 😄

[@sego3424]

Thank you, this video helped alot! It took me 4 tries to solo Zekvir on ?? with my ret paladin.

[@ConCon]

Awesome! Glad you got it!

[@outlaw8379]

How lovely that this video was recommended to me just a day after I killed him lol. As long as you know your class well and you’re playing optimal talents it’s not too horrible. It took me 6 attempts on my shadow priest at 608 ilvl. Prior to that I had 9 attempts on my arms warrior, I feel like casters are a lot easier in this fight.

[@zeruyaabisai379]

thank you for this

[@AscTuber]

As someone who always plays healer. I hate how most of the challenges in the game are catered to dpsing.

[@ThatDudeDeven]

@@AscTuber imagine if it were catered to healing. That’d be a nightmare 🤣

[@TheStygian]

That's very valid criticism. Healers are in high demand, but almost all content is based on DPS. I miss when healers could also do some damage for solo/world content.

[@Zeeeeete]

omg YES! I’ve been waiting to come across a comment like this! 😂 I don’t mind dpsing but I’ve been maining Presvoker and I literally signed up for groups cause I wanted to be able to heal lol

[@eatxsleepxdie847]

I have always wondered why the damage numbers can’t change outside a group in order for tanks and healers to compete doing solo content.

[@towstySlim]

Ty, cool guide ;)

[@Kaizul193]

Did it myself at I think Ilvl 608 as Bm hunter took me around 135 pulls, I’m blind in one eye so made many mistakes😅

[@jeroenbakker1425]

also a major must level up brann

[@arpadvarga3475]

Good little solo challenge 💪

[@NovusGM]

The only thing I struggle with is the melee attacks. I can play all the mechanics, and if I screw once, I am probably dead. That is fine, such is this fight; no mistake is allowed. But it becomes impossible if he starts to melee me all the time.

[@ConCon]

Try brann with more healing focused curios

[@MatadorMedia]

Enfeebling Spittle is the death of me. As a Devoker, I can't only dispel 3 (maybe 4 with a PVP trinket), then I'm dead. No chance.

[@pinkworm5348]

tbh the hardest part about this fight is the dps check that is the egg

[@farlonmuentes6004]

basically, this would be your dark souls of wow.

[@lord_pamperin4233]

What item level would you recommend?

[@omidnoori6560]

People done it with 590-599 as ranges. I say 605+ is ok more is easier

[@ConCon]

If you are perfect at dodging everything you can do it at 600, but I'd recommend 610 or higher. The main thing is killing the hatching add before it hatches otherwise you will get overwhelmed

[@CarlosSpicyweiner-iv8mq]

@@ConCon Is that some kind of joke? serious question i dont understand why you would say that if not joking? I get it if you are just making fun of lord_pampers but you should tell people the truth.

[@CrystalPrelude]

@@CarlosSpicyweiner-iv8mq He's not joking. Go and look. I'm a demo warlock and can't get him down to phase 2, but I've seen demo warlocks under my ilevel (622) get him down. Its about reflexes and not panicking. Which neither am I good at.

[@Scuuurbs]

⁠​⁠@@CrystalPrelude I got him to phase 2 as demo back around 610 but it took so many tries and I felt more like I got lucky with add placement & Zek’s ability choices than skill. I’m 620 now and I still haven’t gone back. Gonna wait to get Cyrce’s upgraded and maybe 2 max crafted slots. I think he’s doable at 610 even with demo, but it takes more luck, patience, and skill than i have.

[@Gabriele_1996]

As a Fwarr, I do it After maybe 100 try, trust me as warr was an insane challenge

[@rieyuki]

Especially as melee trying to dps the egg while Zekvir is far away and starts doing Claw Smash… lol

[@xTurles]

I don't see this achievement in my logs; what am I doing wrong?

[@LuShadow357]

I am ilvl 621 mage and cannot even get close. It’s frustrating

[@KYWildcatUK2K]

I think majority of these challenges are not for cloth wearers. It sucks.

[@primercapitulo1109]

Idem, i am discipline priest... Not even close to lowering his life... plus I need more speed... I keep trying...

[@Bankcittertje]

Got him down yesterday on my 622 frostfire mage. Make sure you get the talent which removes snare effect with barrier. Have silence on one of the easiest key bindings. Save blink for the cone frontal. And avoid the elevated floor, got stuck on it several times when trying to blink out of the cone. Good luck!

[@KabukeeJo]

So basically, if you play a character that can't solo or self heal, then you will get this next expansion. (If Blizz doesn't remove it)

[@dtk673]

Hey, I've been binging the old content, and I realized that you don't reply to every comment now. Just a little curious on why that is

[@Spike-xv1ts]

Pure Horror as a BM Hunter, he just auto oneshots ur Pet with every white hit XD Imma need to push a Twink for this ... and learn to play said twink uuurghh

[@ayasemisaki8309]

Hmm doubt i can do this as tank x.x so gotta gear up a dps

[@antonkochev9992]

I ve seen ppl are doing it as a tank

[@ayasemisaki8309]

@antonkochev9992 hmm gonna give it a go then.. just gotta stop failing 10's xD

[@rieyuki]

There are people who’ve beat him as tank, but as dps you’ll have a much easier time bursting down the egg in time, and Brann’s health pots are enough to keep your health safe (have to keep an eye on where they are at all times).

[@brisiba]

Is monk complicate to play?

[@ConCon]

I've been playing it for 2 expansions, so its easy for me but some people say its hard.. I think Windwalker is easy to play but tricky to master. Healing is probably the hardest thing to learn on it but also one of the most fun healing specs in the game. Brewmaster is unique too.

[@RandomChicken313]

Comment section shows the disparity of skill levels in WoW, from being able to complete it at around 600 ilvl to struggling to get to 630ilvl in this late in the season. Really shows that Blizzard has their work cut out for them

[@rafalpylak2225]

ez pz kill on ret paladin 611, like 15 tries quick guide from me: interrupt only heal freedom on slow dot wake of ashes only on egg spawn rest is dodge dodge dodge and a bit of training bring consumables you welcome

[@salaheddine9552]

With Ret paladin it's so easy even - 600 ilvl

[@grimfistgaming7694]

Play Templar Prot Pala. Easy AF. 6 tries

[@Dissius]

Not really worth the gold you can sink in repair costs if you die frequently to it. There are better looking mounts.

[@penguin303]

all these strats are the same and they only work when you get the right rng

[@anthonysnoopdog2040]

too bad it doesnt exist anymore atleast for my mage... i gottaa be 623 to beat a tier 10 to even attempt zekvier tier 2 granted i beat him tier 1 already

[@CrystalPrelude]

622 Demo warlock. I have 80 tries so far and haven't but once got him down to phase 2. Skill issue? I'm sure it is.

[@Naomi1]

It's skill issue, I got 619 warlock

[@CrystalPrelude]

@@Naomi1 Oh well. Its not like my skills at wow are required for me to live. Amiright?

[@MjolnirsPower]

Great guide!! Imo not worth the effort.

[@sugarfudge2498]

So... this is harder than the mage tower... 🥴

[@juanguitarc]

A week late haha, but ty, love ur guides😁

[@ConCon]

I was slow on this one haha I had forgotten about the ?? difficulty until recently

[@gregorshepherd3561]

Brann can join you? I thought you had to be solo.

[@Dragonfire2505]

Solo in terms with no other player

[@AndrewSmith-dm2pp]

just play a ret paladin - completed Zek'vir?? at 590ilvl pre-nerf hes simple

[@박완규-n2o]

수도사잖아 젠장

[@DanielAlbrechtsen]

i will said that it hit to hard that boss.

[@Mmmmstew]

Does it have to be done on ?? or the ? difficulty?

[@jhollars3943]

?? difficulty

[@timothyschiek331]

??

[@NovusGM]

?? difficulty for the achievement and the mount skin that comes with it.

[@rieyuki]

Solo’ing at ? gives you a toy, but you’d probably care more about the time-limited skin and title

[@guillaumebellanger9716]

you really think it s hard ? so try it with a protection warrior it s worst . i m even not able to kill the spider in the web with 614 ilevl

[@ConCon]

Yeah it would be hard as a tank, you should try as fury or arms

[@TCOYChannel]

SCREW THIS GAME WHYYYYY IS EVEERYTHJING so hard!!!!!!!

[@kathialane]

Done it with my drood bear at 605!!!

[@rieyuki]

That’s really awesome lol

[@War_Hunter]

Hunters can't solo this

[@ConCon]

They can. If you want class specific ideas, try searching "Let me solo him hunter wow" to see how other hunters beat zekvir solo

[@TJWood]

I did it ? level on my hunter after a few goes and did somewhat ok on ?? but haven't managed it yet. I'll give it another good Crack when I'm in the mood to wipe a bit more. Good luck.

[@norfy]

It doesn't require a lot of damage. It's just an understanding of your class and your own capabilities. Or if you're a Ret Paladin, speccing into Dawnlight lmao

[@Mandy138Cool]

Bullshit. If you can't get the add down before hatching, you are 100% effed.

[@wastedraccoon]

⁠​⁠@@Mandy138Cool I did this the other day on my ret pally but ive been wondering how people have managed to dps down the add on tank specs. That thing is tanky as heck

[@rawcoustic1718]

@@wastedraccoon u cant. I tried it on my blood dk. I had to use all of my cds and still couldnt kill it on time.

[@NovusGM]

Zekvir melees a LOT harder on tanks anyway, so it isn't really an advantage to play tank imo.

[@rieyuki]

I agree with “doesn’t require a lot of damage” with respect to Zekvir himself. Getting him down to 0 health is much more about your ability to handle mechanics over the long coarse of the fight. But dps is very important when it comes to the egg, because Web Terrors suck. Fortunately, this issue is solved when you know the key dps ability to save for the egg only. For frostfire mages, it’s Comet Storm (plus other instant cast, procc’ed spells). For shadow priests, it’s void torrent (plus dots and 2 Void Blasts). For DH it’s Fel Rush + Essence Break + Eye Beam.etc. Etc. You can find a video of a 569 mage killing ?? Zekvir, although he says it was really hard lol. There are other video guides with 590-ish and below for many classes/specs.

[@sealcaptn]

Took me 5 attempts....this fight is incredibly easy and is in no way comparable to mage tower fights

[@CrystalPrelude]

For you. Sure. But for others? No. Not everyone is as skilled, or has as quick a reaction time, or doesn't panic, or doesn't get confused, or forgets. Example. I can't do ?? on a demo warlock. I did do the mage tower challenge however. I also did Green Fire when it was current.

[@rawcoustic1718]

It's not easy. Only 0,5% of playerbase finished it. No one bothers to do this or quit halfway because high difficulty and grinds doesnt engage the playerbase and blizzard gotta stop wasting money and effort making difficult contents.

[@rieyuki]

Well geez you’re such an AMAZING player then. Do you get better jobs as an awesome video gamer? Do you make more money because you’re an awesome video gamer? Do you have more friends? Do you have empathy for others? NO.
