For those of you like me and just read "soloable" over-and-over.. here's a quick way/summary of how to get to him.
Enter the instance, run to the Furnace of Hate and you will have to make two pulls to get past the fire walls. Make it past the room with the dragons, then past reaver's hall with the huge round table, and then go down the tunnel. After the tunnel with all the Tunneling Ghouls, go straight until the stairs are on your right and Elder Jarten is in a small room to the left.

As mage you can solo it! 1) you will need to kill or just hit all the Dragonflayer Forge Master, these are the mobs that stops you from going to your coi..err elder! 2) You can : A)Kill the whole pack(3 mobs) B)Just kill him and use invisibility C)Stand near the flame thingy and barrage/icelance... whatever... him so the flame thingy will stop and you can pass, at this point you can inv so they wont follow you. 3)If you use Invisibility when you should(not too fast) you should end up in the 1st boss room without problems. 4)stick to the right wall and skipp pack+1st boss. 5)kill the 2 mobs
Bit harder to describe where this one is...
Room with first boss > Room with dragons > first tunnel with undead mobs in it > room with stairs.
In this room, off to the left there's a smaller room. He's there.
