New Argus World Bosses : F'Harg and Shatug

[schwarzkopf]

Two new bosses just popped up in Antoran Wastes - each one a dog with 2186M health.

Fun for people trying to do the WQ there

Location 57,50.

They're not world bosses, they're an Antorus boss. They're in the open world as part of the WQ with the fallen soldiers.

[Aucald]

Are they actually killable with a loot-table now? They've appeared before as part of a world quest where you have to rescue NPC's while avoiding their insta-death charge.

The dogs are part of the world quest. They are bosses in the raid.

Well they kill me... not seen them before, nor any mention anywhere else.

So it is just a new WQ then, with the bosses just for 'flavour' ?

Yes, although it's not new, it was up one of the first weeks on EU.

[Zoibert the Bear]

They just run around in circles while you try to resurrect the good guys.

They've been around for a while.

Not a new WQ, just a rare one.

And yeah, it's just the bosses for flavour, I don't think you can actually kill them, or even if you can, that they'd drop loot, since they're an Antorus boss

I've only seen that world quest up a handful of times - they're running in a wide circle around the same area where the Pitlord rare elite spawns. You've got to rescue some injured Army of the Light NPC's while giving Shatug and F'Harg a wide berth or they'll bite and kill you nigh instantly. I don't know if they can be killed in their WQ incarnation, or if like the patrolling Garothi Worldbreaker around Krokuun they can be killed but drop no loot.

Been doing these quests since day one and ones around it - never seen that WQ nor the bosses.

Just enough luck to let me post a foolish thread on MMO-C

It's nice that they introduce the bosses, I always hated having bosses randomly show up with less backstory than most dungeon bosses get. In Antorus we are introduced to the Garrothi Worldbreaker indirectly (it's what's shot down the Xenedar), the hounds, the Antoran High Command (there are holograms of them talking with certain rares around the Antoran Wastes) and through Magni and/or other cinematics Aggramar, Eonar (there is an unreleased cinematic from the PTR where Magni talks to Eonar, I expect it will go live next reset), the Coven (we saw them in the cinematic this reset) and Argus (though we don't see him, he is the one giving us all these visions). And ofc we already knew about Varimathras being in Sargeras' tender care since 3.0.

I do like foreshadowed bosses. WoD kiiinda had it in Tanaan, with some of the bosses announcing the rare spawns, but Wrath's Trial of the Grand Crusader - for all its flaws - was really cool; all but the final boss could be seen outside the raid, and you could even watch the Twin Val'kyr being captured.

Firelands had it to some extent as well, with the Molten Front.

For those asking, you can't even damage them iirc from last time they were up. So no they can't be killed and don't drop anything :P

[Tradu]

I sometimes wonder why they don't do a better job introducing raid bosses and/or weaving the raid encounters and outdoor events better. Imo Nighthold was a let down in this regard, with NPCs not involved in any of the encounters (even though having Silgryn interact with Aluriel and Thalyssra with Elisande would have been so much fun) and most others not show up until the raid (even though Tel'arn could easily have shown up in the vineyards and Tichondrius should have been around Suramar somewhere instead of just dying with no story to him in a cramped room).

A bunch of the NH bosses were in the CoS spy event room randomly(all the elf bosses, I believe)

Not new, per se. It's definitely one of the less common ones, though. I've seen it once before, maybe twice since Argus came out. Yeah, just a WQ. Save 6 troops while avoiding getting stomped yourself. Fyi, the stomp has a big range. I got killed by one of them by trample damage when it was still so far behind me I wouldn't have been able to melee it with balance affinity on. Not letting them physically reach you isn't enough.
