How to Solo Garr:
A Guide for Warrior and Paladin Tanks

The video is now available here: http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=80881

Intro
So you've heard from a friend, a guildie, or the internet that it was possible to solo Garr, but didn't think you could do it? You've seen that crappy YouTube video of a warrior doing it (EDIT: He's actually done a new video which is now much clearer), but you don't think it's clear enough to make you feel comfortable? Well, worry no more! This guide will give you all the necessary information to handle it so you can be soloing that old world raid boss in no time!

Why Solo Garr?
There are several reasons to solo Garr, but I think we both know what you're going there for. Anyway, they include:

Bindings of the Windseeker (Right) - 3%
Tier 1 Helm (Helm of Might, Lawbringer Helm

Reserved.

Please offer feedback.

An alternate (and very easy) method of getting to the surger to kill is jump in lava immediately wearing healing gear and just swim all the way there, stopping occasionally to spam FoL on yourself. Make sure to use Blessing of Light too.

Many people, myself included, use the NW corner of Garr's room as a safe spot instead, next to (usually) a Dark Iron vein. It seem less touchy than the east spot. You will likely need a Swiftness potion and a Invisibilility potion to run there though.

Edit: Obviously the FoL method isn't viable for warriors...but hey, this is a paladin site

So how exactly you survive when core hound X and tunnel core hound decide to syncronize their path and come at same time ?

Actually the only way i found to survive was running directly into the lava, aggroing everything in the process. Bubbling and jumping to the safe spot near Ragnaros hound looked like working... not always (many times i got killed by flame spawns) but often.

If you use NW corner of Garr's room as safe spot, you should have zero problems with Core Hound pats.

Next time I do it I'll get screenshots. You still have to solo the surger. You need 2 invis pots, and I usually use 2 swiftness pots too to get to Garr using this route. But the safe spot is not touchy, you don't have to get it exactly right to be safe, and zero Core Hounds. Look for it in the original Garr soloing thread, someone marked it on a map I believe. It certainly was not my original idea

Great guide I've already solod Garr but I was wondering if anyone was ever going to put a Barron Geddon guide up... I mean one half of the binding = useless imo!
