Inside Serpentshrine Lair you will see the strange floating wooden platform shown above. The water around the platform is infested with crazy high DPS frenzies like the ones in ZG. Amazingly though, once you’ve killed all the mobs on the other platforms around the area the water will begin to boil, and all the frenzies die. At this point something strange will happen to the water in the center of that strange wooden platform:

Look familiar? It should! It looks just like an elemental fishing pool, like the ones in Nagrand, or the Bay of Storms only that it is about ten times larger! Don’t make the mistake of simply casting out of curiosity because what you might catch will probably kill you!

The Lurker Below is a 25-man boss, and is easily the simplest to kill in SSC. For the most part he is tank and spank, though he has two abilities to watch out for: Spout and Whirl. I’m not going to go into strat on the site, so look it up at WoWwiki if you’re interested. Suffice to say, no noobs allowed!

The cool part about this boss is simply that he is summoned via fishing. It’s not every day that you can throw a line out there and have a boss try to yank on the other end of it! Lurker is a pretty nasty looking boss, he looks like a Naga that someone did some genetic engineering on and it all went wrong. Fun to kill though that’s for sure!

On a side note, the fishing requirement in SSC is extremely low, I would guess at under 150 since the fish you catch there include Greater Sagefish and other low-level fish. PATCH 2.2 UPDATE: The fish you catch in SSC have been changed to the same drops as Western Zangarmarsh (along with the skill requirements) except in the case of Lurker’s pool, where the drops and requirements have stayed the same.
