Victory Over The Scarlet Crusade (DK Questline Guide)
#1
Quote:Alright. This is the way I typically run the line, and I've never had any definitive problems to date. If any crop up, let me know and I'll add them as well as a way around them. Green quests have no problems whatsoever, orange may have some problems here and there, and red might have a large roadblock bug that you'll need to do something or other to work around it.

I might add a little note under every quest, just for ease of completion for those who've never done the line before, but for now I'll leave it as-is. Wowhead ought to be a good alternative resource if you're stuck on something that isn't a bug.

In Service of the Lich King

The Emblazoned Runeblade

Runeforging: Preparation for Battle

The Endless Hunger

The Eye of Acherus


Death Comes from on High

... This is where your woes begin. Well, not really. These bugs are easy to avoid.

There are no mobs visible, but coming in range of where mobs would be will see your HP steadily deteriorate.

You really shouldn't have any problems with this quest if you go to the right locations.

Simply go to these precise places and hit the Siphon of Acherus ability at each of them.

The Might of the Scourge

Report to Scourge Commander Thalanor


(There's two of him for some reason. Either one works.)

The Scarlet Harvest

If Chaos Drives, Let Suffering Hold the Reins


Grand Theft Palomino

Lots of problems can crop up with this quest, but most of them can be avoided easily.
Hop onto a stallion or mare and play mob-dodge through the swarm of crusaders back up to Death's Breach. You have to be - and the ability specifically says so - within 5 yards of Salanar for Deliver Stolen Horse to work, so get within 5 feet of him and press 1.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032111_230759.jpg]

Wait for him to appear, and then get off the horse. He will take it to the Shadow Realm and you will then be able to complete the quest.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032111_230810.jpg]

Accepting the next one will thrust you...

Into the Realm of Shadows

This is, again, incredibly straightforward.
Kill the two horsemen beside one of the Deathchargers, steal it, then ride it up to Death's Breach.
Deliver the horse using the same ability as before, then Salanar should appear.
-Do not get off the horse- this time. Walk towards him until you are automatically dismounted, and then returned from the Realm of Shadows.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032111_231044.jpg]

Hand in the quest, and voila.

Death's Challenge

Do not be engaged in combat when you challenge them. Relog if a combat bug occurs, or abandon & retake the quest if nothing seems to get it working.

Tonight We Dine in Havenshire

Gothik the Harvester


The Gift That Keeps On Giving


The most effective way to complete this quest without having any bugs arise is the first kill the five or six crusaders around the entrance of the mine, and then go all the way inside without attacking any of the miners.
Stop when you come to the crane-looking piece of machinery, that should be far enough.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_151205.jpg]

Now, keep a fair distance from the miners, and start tagging them with the Gift of the Harvester AOE. The ghosts shouldn't agro if you keep far enough away, and you should be able to get out with your ghouls untouched.

Spoiler:

[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_151226.jpg]

Damn ghosts.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_151434.jpg]

Once you've done that, just head back up to Gothik.
That's the fastest way, and avoids any bugs that might appear.

An Attack of Opportunity

Massacre at Light's Point


This quest seems to bug differently for me on a weekly-monthly basis, so I can't guarantee this will be accurate when you come to do it.

The first part is self-explanatory.

Hop in a minecar and be hauled off to a ship.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_151655.jpg]

Spam 1 over the crowd until you've killed 100 Defenders. You'll have to change ships between this to get all of them since the cannons have a set range.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_151921.jpg]

When you're done, you can -try- and see if the Skeletal Gryphon Escape ability wants to work today, but you might just see something like this:

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_152028.jpg]

Don't think too hard on it. Clear yourself a path if you need to, then just mount up and run back to Death's Breach.

Victory at Death's Breach!

The Will of the Lich King

The Crypt of Remembrance

Nowhere to Run and Nowhere to Hide

Lambs to the Slaughter

How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies


(It is possible to accept this quest and then immediately hand it in without actually fulfilling the requirements to complete it.)

Behind Scarlet Lines

The Path of the Righteous Crusader

This one isn't necessarily -buggy-, but there is a nice, fast way of doing it and then quickly getting down to Koltira.
What you're going to do is, run straight into the Scarlet Hold, probably agroing somewhere in the region of a dozen mobs.
Use the Insignia of the Scourge when needed to break out of Dazed, and follow these directions:
From the entrance, go left, right, right, up the stairs, left, right, right, into the big room. Die.

[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_155211.jpg]
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_155216.jpg]

Yes, die.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_155233.jpg]

The Battle Maiden will (unless you managed to get yourself killed in the last ten minutes) come and ressurect you. You now only have to deal with one mob: Scarlet Commander Rodrick.
Steal the Patrol Schedule, and start to gradually, (killing crusaders one by one as you go), make your way back downstairs where the group of three are clustered at the bottom.

Brothers in Death


Kill them, and the one stood by the far wall, and make your way downstairs.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_155723.jpg]

Bloody Breakout

This one has unavoidable bugs, and you just have to make the best of a bad situation.
His AMZ will go down fairly early on, but the only mob you should have issues with is the inquisitor.
Just get to killing him before he kills you, or run back and resurrect if you die.
...
For the run I did to accompany writing this, I managed to kill him but he also killed me, and we died simultaneously.
I like to think of that as a draw. I also don't know what would happen if I'd died and he had not, but I imagine he'd still have been there, wailing on Koltira.

Help him kill some of the leftover Crusaders and enjoy an easy escape as he pulls agro.

A Cry for Vengeance!

While this quest always makes me feel awful, I've never had any problems with it.

A Sort of Homecoming

Ambush at the Overlook


You don't necessarily need to wait for him to approach the tree to attack.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_161048.jpg]

A Meeting with Fate

The Scarlet Onslaught Emerges

Scarlet Armies Approach

The Scarlet Apocolypse

An End to All Things


Nice, fast way of doing this and never getting hit:
Head towards a group of crusaders, hold space, Deathbolt them, let go and fly straight down towards them and hit Deathbolt until the Ballista collapses. You -shouldn't- ever get hit if you keep doing that.
The Ballistas only take two dead-on shots to kill, so you shouldn't run out of mana.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_161959.jpg]

The Lich King's Command

The Light of Dawn


(Removed, so no need to try and debug this).

Taking Back Acherus

The Battle For the Ebon Hold


I am quite convinced it's impossible to die here, but try to avoid pulling all the mobs at once.

Spoiler:
[Image: WoWScrnShot_032211_162827.jpg]

...Or just go right ahead.

Where Kings Walk

Sorry, but you'll have to complete this or you'll be stuck being pacified. Self-explanatory - Horde go to Orgrimmar and speak with Thrall, Alliance to to Stormwind to speak with Varian.

Congrats, you should have gotten through that relatively painlessly.
Many thanks to 'Fran' who I promptly deleted.

Note: How to win Friends and influence Enemies takes notoriously long. If it is taking a long time, I can nearly guarantee that it's not broken.

Thank you! I altered the topic title a bit, so hopefully it'll catch the eye of more folks whom are having issues.
