Simple Walkthrough

You can see videos (including soloing epic) and more advanced strategy tips for the Claw of Vulkoor quest below.

- Begin by talking to Ionna.
- Grab her staff and sneak around the fire giants if you're able to.
- Step on the octagonal platform while carrying the staff. Pick it up again!
- Sneak past all the scorpions and scorpion guardians doing the same.
- If a guardian sees you you'll have to kill it!
- If a roaming scorpion sees you several strong ambushers will spawn.

Be careful!

You're better off not touching the piles of gold in the Giant's Tomb. You'll get a ton of extra experience points, and avoid one hell of a nasty fight. Or try it if you dare!

    The claw was a good challenge trying to figure out how to solo in epic.

Epic version

First up, as a monk. Notice how he uses his abundant step to skip several areas! This was made by Cow from Thelanis. He also uses a Maladroit of Bone Breaking handwraps on the first giant shaman. He switches over to a Dreamspitter staff from the Gianthold raid once his dexterity is reduced to 0.

As a caster:

Invisibility and lots of running. No stealth skills required.

My lenses are very nichey. Skip them if you're just another lensmaster clicking around squidoo.
My roomie CeleryStalker also made a few game lenses....
