This is my first post here, so I apologise if this is in the wrong place, or whatever, and it's probably not a very well designed guide but it gets the point across The screenshots weren't the best positions or angles so do your best to make them out :P Theres other ways of getting to C'Thun thats been posted but they all require a Chopper or multi-seater mammoth, this way is cheaper.
First you enter AQ40 and you clear the trash up to the first boss till you're stood in front of him

Then, you stand in the position in this picture

Then, you mount up on some kind of mammoth, and it'll look like this

You jump through the wall, and you'll land here

Jump down so you're on the same level as the big hole in the floor, and follow the path round to the far side of the hole furthest away from you

when you reach the far side, you should stand in a position which looks like this

when you reach there, just jump forward into the hole, you'll end up in the corridor just before C'Thun's room. Enjoy!
A final tip: Make sure Viscidus gets to 1 hp before shattering him, otherwise you have to shatter him again, even if you kill all globs. Even with current high end gear a hunter would have to equip his or her normal bow for about 25% I think to get it to 1 hp by the time the 216 frost attacks have been performed. All cloth classes are terrible at Viscidus, but Mage is the least terrible. Warlock: Don't bother and pick another class. Monk: Pick up a Brunnhildar Harpoon. Probably better to go Windwalker for Storm, Earth, and Fire - even if you can't use Fists of Fury with a two-handed weapon. Viscidus only dies when he is shattered at 10% or less health. But you can damage him, although only for a little due to his crazy high health pool, while trying to freeze him, so it is quite likely that you will be able to kill him if you leave 3 or less blobs alive, as DPSing him from 15% to 10% during the second freeze + shatter phase is.
Viscidus is a boss in the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj, one of the original vanilla raids. I know, a boss from there that can provide an issue?!
Viscidus is not necessarily a difficult boss, but MECHANICS! It’s split in two phases, which I’ll call FREEZING and SHATTERING, and I’ll give some class-specific details on each phase.
FREEZING
The first part of the boss requires you to freeze him. This requires you to hit Viscidus with 20 attacks that deal Frost damage. These classes have it easy:
- Death Knight: You have it very easy here. As Frost, a lot of your attacks will deal the Frost damage you need, and as other specs, you still have access to Frost abilities.
- Hunter: At level 100, use the Exotic Munitions talent, and use Frozen Ammo from that. You can also use Beast Mastery as your spec, and use a Chimaera. They have frost attacks!
- Mage: As a Frost Mage, you’re naturally very well equipped here. As Arcane and Fire, you still have access to some Frost-based abilities.
- Priest: Mind Spike deals Shadowfrost damage. Spam this until he’s frozen.
- Shaman: Frost Shock. Has a 6 second cooldown, so it may take a while!
- Warlock: Demonology is the way to go here. Touch of Chaos deals Chaos damage. Chaos damage is made up of all schools of magic, including Frost. Build up Demonic Fury, spam Touch of Chaos and Viscidus will eventually freeze.

Druids, Monks, Paladins, Rogues and Warriors have it a bit more difficult. With these classes it’s best to enchant their weapons with Enchant Weapon: Elemental Force then melee Viscidus until he freezes. The enchant won’t proc on every hit, so it may take a while.
SHATTERING
How To Kill Viscidus Warrior
This part requires you to hit a frozen Viscidus 30 times before he defrosts. 30 hits, 30 seconds.
Here’s the easy classes!
- Death Knight: Army of the Dead. They’ll smash the bastard in no time!
- Hunter: The combination of you and a pet attacking will make short work of him. Stampede can also be a big help.
- Monk: Using two one-handed weapons means you will attack really quickly. Taking Summon Xuen as a talent will mean you can effectively attack twice as fast, as there’s two of you.
- Warlock: ’cause you’d be Demonology, the combination of you meleeing and a Felguard would likely make short work of Viscidus. Use Grimoire of Service to summon a second Felguard temporarily to ensure the kill.

For other classes, to trivialise this fight, you need to have a Lumber Yard! You’ll eventually get a quest from it that allows you to get a trinket called the Barov Lumberjack Caller. Using this will summon a number of lumberjacks to fight for you, as thus:
How To Kill Viscidus Warrior
The combination of 5 lumberjacks and you meleeing the boss will make Viscidus smash to pieces in no time! Make sure you’re equipped with fast weapons, such as daggers or one-handed swords. Warriors swinging around giant two-handed battle axes may well struggle immensely here!
Abilities that summon meleeing minions are always helpful here. Paladins should throw out Guardian of Ancient Kings, and Priests should use their Shadowfiend, for example. Warlocks should favour summoning their Infernal/Abyssal over a Doomguard/Terrorguard, as the former does melee attacks and so would contribute to the shattering.
Why even go for this boss? Well, of course he drops a battle pet, the Viscidus Globule, required for the first Raiding with Leashes achievement! Good luck!
