Kresh - the giant turtle of Wailing Caverns
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruKresh - the non-aggressive turtle with a hard shell
Kresh is a giant turtle and an optional boss of Wailing Caverns. He won't aggro on his own and wanders by the water away from the route. He has few dangerous abilities, but high armor makes the fight a little longer.
Tactics
- Kresh won't attack first - pull him yourself when ready.
- His high armor makes armor reduction (Sunder, Faerie Fire) and physical damage shine.
- No dangerous spells - it's a simple patience fight.
- Keep the tank on him; melee hit from behind.
- On x5 groups take him in passing for Kresh's Back - fast, safe farm.

Tips for WoW Classic x5
1. On x5 Kresh is killed in passing - he doesn't block the main route. 2. Kresh's Back is a great early blue shield for a level 18-28 tank. 3. Against his armor, armor reduction and pure physical damage work best.
