If you have trouble finding a group, you can complete this quest on your own by dragging a Clefthoof to one of them friendly Sha'tar Vindicators in the southwestern parts of the Bone Wastes before killing it. Chances are that, after you use your fumper to summon the big bone worm, they'll run in and help you out.
I'd recommend you don't loot your Clefthoof right away, as they seem to despawn fairly quickly after being looted.

Actually, I accidentally learned to solo it with virtually any class....and was able to repeat it on an alt.
1) Try to get him to spawn as close as possible to the ramp that leads down to the center circle of Auch.
2) Hit him a couple times and then make your way towards that ramp. Make sure to stop and smack him a few times on the way if it is a long ways.
3) Once at the ramp, run down it and around the corner (out of line of sight). After a few seconds the mob just dies on his own and you can go loot him.
- I found this out because I was on my main and was standing right beside the ramp....I got low on health and ran down the ramp and barely around the corner so i could bandage. Before i finished bandaging, the critter just died and i was like woohoo!
Confirmed.. took longer then a few seconds though, I waited for a minute.. then he just died :D
Fantastic, after 1.5-2min he just dies! confirmed! it works! this baby can't warp next to you because of the walls :D so he just keeps bugging!
Lol wow, I just did this. You bring a cleft hoof as close to auch as you can (keeping it in the bone valley place) and kill it. Summon huge worm, hit him a couple times to make him mad, and run into auch, around the corner, to break line of sight.
He apparently can't come into auch, and just sits on the other side of the wall, angry. In about a minute... he just dies. Big angry heart attack or something.
Nice find man! Could not find help for this quest... now I got my dagger lol.
Be careful though, try to get behind the wall asap. His poison does 2200 damage, and his melee is nothing to laugh at either. But as long as you can make it to the other side of the wall... you're gold.
Just did this on my druid, worked fine but did have to do it 6 times before the elite came up. He hits hard so stay away from him or your dead solo, he does stop at the top of the ramp and just around the corner is out of his attack area so there you are safe.
I've found this only works if you do a decent amount of damage. Just running around the corner isn't going to do it. Pop out and hit him a few times with ranged and then go back and bandage if needed. It's really easy to get him down to about 50% in the two minutes without getting hit much.
As a 65 hunter alt, I just sent in my pet, healed him, fired a few rounds, and brought back to the safety of the corner when he was getting low on health. I waited until he was all healed up and sent him back in.
Does work :) Got very bored and made a video;

Still works for 2.3
Pop out every now and then and shoot him, then you'll be able to loot :D
OMG!!!!! march 8th 2008 and they havent fixed this yet!!! i just killed him this way hahaha
yep just did it it works great but if you are a mage you have to get him close to the ramp or you are screwed.

Soloed it, had no "OH SHIT" moments, didn't die once. But I feel like a huge cheater. =D
Props to the above poster (Gaujo) who posted the video; it gave me the idea to try this out. This way is a bit better because you don't die, however.
If you have a complete agro dump, this quest is a piece of cake. Each time you summon one of the unwanted mobs (sand gnomes, little worms) simply run off a bit and Feign Death. The gnomes will disapear immediately and the worms will despawn after a minute or two. There's no point in fighting them - you get no loot and no xp.
For the Elite Worm -
Each time you summon, make sure your pet is put on passive and have him set on stay well outside of any agro range.
Check the time before summoning. Once you've summoned the big guy, simply move out of the original agro range and FD. The worm will go back underground (you'll see the moving rocks that show his location). You can stay FD'ed or you can pop back up. If you took any major damage, heal yourself.
After about a minute and 30 seconds, call your pet back, run into the moving rocks to grab agro and do some damage to the worm. (you might even be able to freeze trap the guy, I didn't think to try.) After making sure you've got agro, immediately have your pet tank the worm and simply worry about healing your pet. Don't worry about doing any more damge to it.
It dies at the 2 minute mark, no matter how little damage it takes. You can loot it and be on your way. =D

I was soloing him as a lvl 70 rogue, and a stupid lost spirit started hitting me and i almost died.. so I vanished, but i could see the worm moving around under the ground. So i ate some food and re-aggroed the worm.. he had full health again but after a few seconds he just died! I was able to loot him too and got the quest done.
Try using the Fumper somewhere away from the rocks. The southeast area is viable, thus. Many cleft's are there, and as a Dune fan, I thought to use the Fumper there, where no rocks were close by. Shai'hulud avoids rocks, or anything in the ground, perhaps Hai'shulud is the same. Just an idea...
(Fumper is a reference to a "thumper", a drum placed into the ground to summon a worm. Dib'maud is referencing Maud'Dib, Shani is Chani, and a Reverend Mother is a Reverend Mother. A crysknife is a knife made from the tooth of the great worm.)
Just found something interesting about this quest (based on the 2 mins bug):
1. Go to the Auchindoun entrance at coordinate 43,71.
2. From there, look for a kodo to slay.
3. Kite it back to the entrance (as far as possible, but STAY just on the edge of the Bone Wastes, otherwise your drum won't work) and kill it.
4. Use the drum, the worm will appear (well, after a few tries). If not, just run inside the Auchindoun and those Gnomes (or whatever they are) won't follow you.
5. If it's the worm: run inside and hide behind the first corner. Make sure you still see it.
6. The worm will die in about 2 mins.
I kept it busy by throwing some spells at it, but not sure whether this is necessary.
Works for everyone, regardless class or level.
Good luck!

This quest is absolutely miserable. Followed all of the above directions, killed at least 50 clefthoofs, the big worm still didn't show. Waste of time imo...
I (67 Pally) and two 66 hunters grouped up for this quest. Big Worm spawned on the first try.
Confirmed...
Soloed as a 64 rogue. If you do the ramp to auch trick it works well...the big guy stops where the stone starts and the bone filled dirt ends, and if you go down the first ramp you can keep hitting him with your ranged weap and run behind the wall when he starts to cast poision. Thus avoiding damage and keeping him engaged.
Here are some pics explaining it...:
Can be done by any class with a wand/bow/rank 1 FB...whatever really. Hope the retarded pics help.. :P
Blizz won't likely be offering you a job as a graphic designer. LOL! Awesome post though, ty! =)

64 shadow priest.
Used the ramp technique, worked perfectly. Only needed the one spawn of him to complete the quest.
Problem is it took 39 clefthoofs, about 50 drinks, and about an hour and a half to get the right mob to spawn. Yes i should in hindsight have run down the ramp when the wrong mobs spawned, seeing as they provide neither XP nor loot.
Anyway, my kill log has 39 decrepit clefthoofs on it now, from that one quest. All for a dagger i probably won't equip.
I think it's fair to say that the spawn chance of the boss mob needs some buffing.

He never comes out with the drum. I've doen it over 20 times and just gnomes or the non boss worms.
43,71 Auch ramp. Kite nearest clefthoof. Use Fumper. If the anything but the "boss" spawns, run down the ramp or otherwise out of combat and they will despawn. Rinse and repeat 'til the mob you want spawns. The price you pay for the "bug" in this quest, is the horrible spawn rate of the mob you need. You MUST damage the Big Bone Worm (perhaps timed, like every 20 sec?) in order to loot the quest item.
it dosent work that trick its just that the worm dies after some time or when it gets on 40%...
CONFIRMED, the trick still works after the latest patch (even if a load of my addons don't D:)
Buggy! by Elackoatlightningsblade, Score 0.55
just did this 5 minutes ago as a 63 demo lock..... i used the drum on the clefthoof and the worm came up first try.... sent my felguard at it, threw a shadowbolt for aggro, watched it kill my pet, ran down the ramp and stood there....popped out every 10 seconds or so to throw dots and death coil... it worked perfectly and i really appreciate the tips =D
haha for hunters just feign of death and he dies in a few mins i did this cos i almost died :P
guys and girls
You suck! None og you, not one sigle person i explaining how to do this. You are to much occupird with your own small-dick-less egos!
Reading the quest helps dumbass.
Or if you cant comprehend in-game text,read the above posts for EASIER ways to complete the quest.
Either way getting a 3 person group isnt the most intricate process in the world. Of course for you it probally is.
In case anyone is interested, the worm dying after a period of time is not a bug. The worms name is Hai Shailud or something similar, a play on the Shai Hailud sand worms from the Dune universe.
In the RTS Dune 2 shai hailud would turn up and eat your units, but couldn't follow units onto land, and couldn't survive when surfaced all that long. Since the original Warcraft RTS was a massive rip off of Dune 2 I'm not really surprised Blizzard put a tribute in a Warcraft game.
In case anyone wwas interested.
easy quest with that tactic
Lmao this was waaay to easy, all i ddi was hit him once and run down the ramp and waited... nuttin more
05/13/08 the bug is still working. Take the above advice to solo it!
The bug is still working...kill an clefthoove near the ramp of Auch around 44 72 and then use the drum. When the big worm comes, kite him towards the ramp and run down the ramp. Hide round the corner where u can still see him and he cant get u with posion spit. Shoot or throw at him couple of times and he will die after about 45 secs and u can loot it.
Hope this helps:)
5/25/08 this bug still works.
you MUST deal some damage to him, though. I tried just hauling ass down behind the wall, and he died and i couldnt loot. I resummoned him and took him to 92% and hid, then when he died i could loot.
Personal Opinion...it's not a bug...it's designed that way for those who can figure out the tie-ins to DUNE. If u can't figure out some way to keep his attention for 2mins..then yeah, get a group. The best way has already been stated...aggro clefthoof bait and then kite and kill it near the entrance to Auchidoun. place "fumper" as many times as needed until big worm spawns. deal some damage to the worm and then run into hallway out of range of his attacks (down ramp and around corner if necessary) peek out and do a little damage every now and then and wait for him to keel over.
I know it's aleady been said. I just wanted to add that I think its set up that way intentionally..not bugged. I could be wrong but that's what I'm thinking. :-)
I didn't even lure him to the ramp i was helping out a friend and halfway through the fight and some adds he just died instantly with about 50% health left
