out of curiosity is the kil 200 scarlet soldiers a set amount or is it like 1 of the mobs that die in 3 hits?

Commentaire de 66445

it will be one of the new type of destroy everything quests, i cant remember what its called right now but blizzard has a name for it. look at the description:

"Use this horn to call forth one of my wyrms. Climb upon its back and command it into battle. With it you will end the Scarlet Crusade"

showing that you'll be using something other than your self
TBCversion is kinda like the HFP bombings or IQD bombings.

Commentaire de Mumpley

Wowwiki has got a great description on this quest:

Use the to call down a Frostbrood Vanquisher, a frost wyrm that functions as a flying mount while in and around Havenshire and New Avalon.

Your targets are Hearthglen Crusaders, Tirisfal Crusaders and Scarlet Ballista. Friendly units in the field of Havenshire are Volatile Ghouls and Rampaging Abominations.

Fire the wyrm's long-range deathbolts by hitting 1. Treat the wyrm as a fighter plane with fixed guns pointing ahead. The bolts are ballistic and will respect the angle the wyrm is at when casting and gravity after a while. Long range shots fired into the air will hit the ground a few hundred yards down range. An indication (in the form of a Hunter's Mark) will show up when the wrym fires a shot to see where the bolt will hit.

While in the air above New Avalon, always keep moving as there are plenty of ballistae ready to knock unwary wyrms and their riders out of the sky.

If the wyrm finds itself low on health and/or mana, target a random crusader, swoop out of the sky and close to within 15 yards, hit 3 to eat it, and get back into the air while not stopping to limit the damage taken from other nearby mobs.

Commentaire de 178200

omg this is gonna b so hard to do at first with EVERY one killing them.

Commentaire de 22765

How do you control the wyrm? If I treat it like a flying mount, I cannot change my altitude. What buttons do you need to press to change altitude?

Commentaire de 169548

its not rly hard your on a frostwyrm and you use spells that kill alot of mobs with it you just got 2 dodge theyr arrows

Commentaire de Battleguard

Note: if you don't get a new action bar (like me when I first used the item), right click your portrait, select "leave", and use the item again.

Commentaire de 78426

I found the quest to be very trivial if you hold down on the right mouse button. That causes the projectile targeting system to come up (you will see the path and the point of impact). Leaving this up, adjusting the point of impact if necessary and moving using your preferred keyboard movement keys will allow you to easily spin in circles around a cluster of scarlets while you rain down icy doom.

Another tip is to avoid fighting ballistae by themselves. There are quite a few groups where there will be maybe 15 scarlet knights and 1 ballista... focus on those groups. The first time I did this quest, I ran out of mana, because I chose to fight the ballistae that were on the top of the towers. The second time, I only fought groups and I did not run out of mana at all.

Also, you will probably reach the 10 ballistae count before you kill 150 soldiers. To combat this, you can simply not kill the ballista and wait for soldiers to respawn (waste some time by going to a nearby group). The soldiers around the damaged ballista will respawn allowing you to kill twice as many soldiers per ballista as normal. Also, if someone else happens to kill the newly spawned soldiers, you will still get the kill for the ballista.

Overall, the quest is pretty easy and you get a nifty looking helm as a reward.

Commentaire de ordos

Do not leave the 'vihicle' while you're still flying above the village. I assumed I would be teleported where I summoned the dragon but instead fell out of the sky and died. When I received my free revive I got killed again by the balista's.

Commentaire de Mortenz

Boring to slay hundreds of humans using one of the most epic dragons in the game as a killer machine?

What game are you playing?

Commentaire de 245421

If you die during this one you will probably want to rez at the gy. If you're in the middle by one of the balistas you'll have a hard time getting out.

Commentaire de 205110

If your mount is about to die fly away and low, if it dies in the air you will fall to your death... After a few falls your resurrection time will be a pain.

Commentaire de 245878

Although it is possible, don't fly up to the Ebon Hold while on this quest. You will be unable to get back down. The griffons up there don't work, you can't jump off the balcony and you can't get back on the mount.

Commentaire de Liri

I had to relog to remove my bar mod and it desummoned my dragon. A quick horn blow and I was riding again on a fresh hew worm with my previous kills still counting. I tried it once again and it seems to work fins. So just fly back to the lich king and resummon to refresh. Oh and remember your mount is more accurate while hovering.

Commentaire de Gonkers

This is the most retarded quest ever! I can't kill any Ballistas, I bomb them and bomb them, they explode, but I don't get credit for it. I have since died, but if rez, I instantly die from 50 Crusaders and 3 ballistas destroying me.

--------------------

I figured it out, you have to be within like 20 or 30 yards of the ballista to get credit. If your vehicle (dragon) runs out of mana, fly to the ground, exit, and re summon. It's safer and faster than "Devour Humanoid"

Commentaire de 202769

Most fun quest in the game.

Commentaire de 80493

I have to r/click my portrait and select dismiss to end this quest. r/clicking off the buff does not seem to work.

Commentaire de 147875

This game is the perfect combination of great fun and creativity + incredible frustration.

Commentaire de 246875

I have been killing the soliders in one hour now. Where can i find the Ballistas or it's just an bug that i killing in 1 hour? please answer

Commentaire de 99616

If you are anything like me, sometimes you will start a quest about 10 minutes before you have to get ready for work with the intent of finishing the quest when you get home from work. You CANNOT do that with this quest. I was not allowed to fly to Ebon Hold, or to log out of the game until I completed the quest. Not sure if this is a bug or if it always happens, but it happened to me.

I found out that being late due to playing a video game is not a good thing so far as my boss is concerned.

Commentaire de 150068

Found this very difficult because I was unable to see and target mobs from the air. Died twice but with the advice of a friend found a way to get through:

- Fly your mount to the gates of New Avalon. Take it down to ground level and fire the Icy Deathbolts repeatedly as you move forward through the gates and into the town. You will take out dozens of soldiers and probably a few Ballistas (cannons). Your mount will take damage, but slowly.

- Continue moving at ground level through the town until your mount's health is at about 25%. Go back out the gates and out of range of the New Avalon ballistas and soldiers, into the fields of Havenshire. Try to find a clear spot without an elite crusader around.

- Dismount. Summon a new mount, which will appear with full health. Mount and return to New Avalon. Rinse, repeat as needed until you get your 150 soldiers and 10 ballistas.

Commentaire de 146540

The above post is absolutely right. This is the easiest way to complete this quest without having to riding high in the sky and figure out the trajectories. Just skim on the ground and mow down everything in your way while blasting the ballistas at point blank range. It takes 3-4 shots to take down a ballista. Just watch your health!

Commentaire de Tanae

And remember that most of the time it will put you in combat mode and you cannot summon a new mount and you will have to go kill yourself to get out of the combat. Highly annoying.

Commentaire de 130755

i considered this a chance to get to see eastern plaguelands from a flying mount perspective. i just flew out as far as i could in any direction until it dismounted me. i spirit rezzed each time. it was easier to pay a 7g repair bill for completely red gear, than to run back.

Commentaire de Gnostik

Note that the #3 ability restores both health and mana, not just mana as the tooltip says.

Commentaire de Karoxen

This quest is also an excellent time to hand in any crusader skulls you might have left as when you complete the chain you lose access to doing so

Commentaire de roguexx

Lol so funny quest xP

Commentaire de RedwoodElf

I found this to be quite easy. The trick is to circle the balistas by strafing, so their bolts miss you, while keeping your ice breath targetted on them. The ice breath target actually targets on where it is about 2 seconds AFTER you activate the attack...so try to keep your targetting indicator steady for that time.

(Note: this is much easier for those who use the mouse to control their characters' facing. I am almost ALWAYS holding down the right mouse button when moving around, particularly in the air, so I always had the targetting helper up. So I just had "auto forward" to keep moving, and strafed to the left or right to circle my target.)

Commentaire de 133783

A few things to note:

1. For some reason you don't always get credit for destroying the balistas so be patient. It's about 50-60% success. Just make sure you have them targeted.

2. I kept flying between the two gates to the town where the soliders would come together rather than try to take them out individually. You could kill 10-20 this way.

3. It's quicker just to land and call the bird again rather than mess around with eating the dead. New bird = full energy and mana.

Commentaire de 290721

The title of this quest is probably a Lord of The Rings reference.

At the end of the Return of the King (book and film), when Sam and Frodo are on the mountain, Frodo says:

"I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."

I'm betting the blizz devs are fantasy and LotR fans so i'm sure this is a reference..

Commentaire de Liri

I had the sound up doing the quest and notices something that makes it MUCH easier. When you hit #1 to launch your dragon breath you hear a button click and a moment later a second click when it actually launched. So fly, pause, fire, dodge, fire again. It was incredibly easy compared to the hard time I had before with that knowledge.

And Id like to chime in that resummoning a wyrm is better than feeding it. And if you die spirit rez, he ignores your sickness.

Commentaire de Omencaller

Note, do not fly back up to the floating castle. You will be dismounted, unable to resummon the dragon ("You are in the wrong zone.") or even use the gryphons to fly back down ("You are busy and can't use the taxi service now.").

Commentaire de 319466

easy and fun quest if you find your self low on health and or mana go to safety dismount and remount full health and mana sorted keep doing till finished

Commentaire de 230694

My way of completing this is to hover at a level below the ballistae on the towers in the walls, and above the ones on the ground. I alternate between two of the gaps in the walls, just firing away to kill soldiers and the single ballista that spawns in each of the groups. You can get a good many soldiers and ballistae fairly quickly that way. The ballistae on the towers can't point down, so the only heavy hits you'll take are from the ones on the ground, and you'll only have one of those firing at you at a time. I also use the resummoning trick, except I never risk dismounting in the fields, I always head back up to Arthas. A ballista bolt can kill you in one shot, and the elite mobs will take you out elsewhere.

Fun quest though, and the helm's a good reward until Outland.

Commentaire de Rankkor

this is the most entertaining quest in the chain, (yhea even more than the light of dawn, since there u mostly wach but do nothing at all)

is also pretty easy unless u lag, I died 3 times but all 3 were just lag.

just keep the A button pressed, and the right mouse button pressed, and keep moving the mouse to the right, what this will do is that the dragon will strafe in a circle, while keeping the aiming reticle centered in the center of that circle, that way u can fire and dodge incoming arrows and javelins easily.

I wish I could keep this dragon :)

Commentaire de 320155

If you're like me and you die multiple times before coming to this thread for help and need to repair afterward, go back to Acherus Hold to the level you started (through the pink teleporter) to find a repair NPC

Commentaire de 335646

If you accidentally land your dragon, pressing and holding the space bar will allow you to take to the skies again.

Commentaire de 108724

Always move around or the ballistas and stuff will hit u :)

Commentaire de dreadblood

one thing of note: when U dismount the dragon it does NOT give U a parachute buff.. I learned that the hard way :D

Commentaire de calophi

Be forewarned - if you leave the designated battlefield area for too long, the dragon will disappear from out from under you and you will be dropped. I was dropped while flying over the mountains to the beach area to see if there were any troops there. =D

Commentaire de 207462

I absolutely ****** hated this stupid quest !

Commentaire de 283939

Hard but fun quest :)

Commentaire de neithskye

Note that your Frostbrood Vanquisher appears to have a time limit.

I am not very good with vehicle quests, so I was taking my time. I was almost done when I got a, "Health Low" message and the Vanquisher just died.

All the Combat Log said was, "Frostbrood Vanquisher dies". Nothing hit me. I went from 100% health to a dead Vanquisher in a second.

This of course dropped me into the field below directly into two Elites. I put up a good fight, but, yeah, dead Death Knight.

I really have no clue what happened. My Vanquisher just died and despawned. I was most annoyed.

Commentaire de aanjuan

You can not be grouped while doing this quest.

Commentaire de 346509

i can't blow in the horn i have been everywhere and trying! it just stands you cant use that here. what is the problem?
I think its maybe a bugg but what shuld i do if it is a bugg?

Commentaire de 347786

I had a terrible time with this one. Most notably I had trouble controlling the Vanquisher. Also trying to hit the Ballistas from the air was frustrating because they weren't registering damage. I came up with, quite by accident, an unorthodox solution. You can start back at the lumber mill or right up by the fortress. In either location you can fly low to the ground, almost into the ground if you are careful. From there you can use the breath weapon/blast to "sweep" the area. It's very easy to do this by the lumber mill because you aren't dodging the Ballistas. You can also eat the crusaders for mana with no trouble and they cause very little damage to you or the Vanquisher. This same technique becomes more kamikaze near the fortress, but you can take out 3 Ballistas before taking any real damage. And if you die and your armor turns to crap just rez and summon a new wyrm. You can do this over and over until you get the 10. Just remember to fly the wyrm back up to the breach and go make repairs at the Ebon Hold before you turn in the quest. Dismount in the breach, then take the taxi up to the hold. Take the teleporter up to the 2nd floor. The repair person is near the Rune Forge. If you don't have much money you can always run over to the plague cauldron and create the special brew with the skulls you collected on previous quests before heading back to the breach. Then sell that to the repair person.

Commentaire de Belse

A tip for some of you who have issues with this quest:

Do not use your keyboard to fly. You will move a lot faster if you use your mouse and it's easy to dodge the ballistas. And since you're holding both mouse buttons you will always see where your attacks will hit.

Commentaire de 397381

Hi all i am new here and i wana ask 2 questions. First - From which NPC can i get the quest ? Second - How much and which quests are above this ?

Commentaire de Desado

I done this quest very easily.When your dragon is low at hp,fly on rocks(mobs can't reach you in there),dismount,call again that dragon and he will have all hp once again:)
Maybe its not the best way to do it,but you don't have to worry about death.

Commentaire de 267881

lol i was leveling my dk when i came to this quest instead of the dragon quest item i got a freaking dragon mount its cool but wtf i cant use it there and i cant proceed my dk until i pass that quest >.>

Commentaire de 413396

In the newer patches it is Scarlet Soldiers slain (100)

Commentaire de 389201

This quest is a bit of a teaser, since it will be a while before most people get their own flying mount. I got done rather quickly and spent quite some time just flying around randomly before sadly turning it in.

Commentaire de diagl

Done this a few times now, and here's my advice.

Firstly, keep you're right mouse button clicked. This shows you were you're going to shoot, and you'll know when to fire.

Secondly, don't stay still; do bombing runs. You'll get hit occasionally, but nothing too serious as long as you keep moving.

Thirdly, when you're low on either health (unlikely) or mana (much more likely), fly back to the cauldron in the middle of the field. Dismount, and turn all the skulls you have into potions, up to a maximum of 20 potions. Then re-summon the dragon, and it'll have full health and mana.

Commentaire de 179948

Hey the horn of the frostbroom doesnt work it says you cant use that item here and it says that it can only be used in outlands and northrend any help

Commentaire de 432997

When i go to use the horn of the frostbrood it says you cannot use this here and then when i put my mouse over it to look at it it says i can only use it in out lands or northrend is there any sujjestions on what i should do? i have tryed restarting the quest many times. is there a specific place i need to go?

Commentaire de 433665

i cant complete the quest, i dont get the white , i get a epic fly mount instead :S so i cant do the quest :(

when i hold on it it says : Use: Summons and dismisses a rideable Frostwyrm Mount. This is a very fast mount. This mount can only be used in Outland and Northrend.

i did upload a scrnshot but i dont know when u will be able to see it :P

if any1 can help me to get the correct quest item, i would be very greatful :P

Commentaire de zorbo

I have a problem with this quest, the item you get to summon the dragon says "Use: Summons and dismisses a rideable Frostwyrm Mount. This is a very fast mount. Can only be summoned in Outland or Northrend." And when i try to click on it it says "You can't use that here." Anyone have any suggestions what to do?

Commentaire de 436300

Seems like in 3.1.3 the quest is kind of bugged, since the provided quest item (Horn of the FrostBrood) Now is an epic flying mount. Seriously i'm not kidding, i have a screenshot if you don't believe me. When you click on the item it says: You can't use that here aswell as the item says : blablabla, This is a very fast mount. This item can only be used in Outland and Northrend, was in kind of hurry writing the comment, so that's why the blablabla , ahwell strange bug imo.

Commentaire de antisocialian

i found with this quest, it doesn't always count when i destroy a ballista(not sure if i'm maybe too far away), some of the humans don't die, they just keep taking damage, and when i'm done and dismount i'm still in combat and can't get out until i log(which means no ebon hold if you lvl, no mounting to get to the next step quicker, also no putting on the new helmet you get).

anyone else notice this?

Commentaire de 545863

I can't summon the mount, when I click on the horn I call it but nothing happens the mount doesn't come.
Please help. I'm with patch 3.2.2a

YOU that have problems with summon the whyrm, just delete the cache folder ( C:\Program\World of Warcraft\Cache)
When cache folder deleted just start wow and you can do summon the whyrm .

If you still have problems make GM ticket :)

Commentaire de DkMages97

i dont get it i killed all the soldiers and all the ballistas but they arent counting the ballistas!

Commentaire de 631075

It is kind of hard but all you have to do is just stay as high upon the air as you can while still being able to shoot the ballistas. You won't get credit for every one destroyed. Also don't waste your time eating the dead just dismount somewhere safe and call it again.

Commentaire de 660796

i think that this quest is bugged big time because every time i try to mount the wyrm when im not in combat and im outside it says you cannot mount here everytime i rez i got cb and i instantly died so can you guys help me out here please?

Commentaire de 748581

Okay... I had super trouble with this quest... i.e., Always dying...

Here's the answer... Just fly around in a circle while targeting anything with red above it... It took me like 30 seconds to finish it, minus the ballistas of course... But super easy once you get the hang of it.

Commentaire de nikongirl24

This was so helpful to me. I tried this quest... died twice. I was aggravated because I couldn't control the trajectory of the blast. I wish we could focus better and actually aim. Bah. Good quest though. :)

Commentaire de 786723

what would happen if you dc'd in the middle of the quest?

Commentaire de Levinaxr

Is it just me or does the dragon yell all the time, and then, how do you stand it!

It drove me crazy, he really yelled all the time, spamming the tell macro likely. Just wanted to know if it is so or just to me...

Commentaire de lightclaw

I hope it was just me, but the instant I mounted the dragon for this quest, my toon began cheering and didn't stop until the quest was complete. Quite possibly the most annoying thing I've experienced in 6 years of WoW.

Commentaire de Cariea

If you happen to be a worgen, prepare yourself for incessant roaring until you get off the dragon.

Commentaire de Arthusii

Tip: If ur a Nelf use Shadowmeld after u turn the quest in. It will automatically take u out of combat.

Commentaire de 868425

Well, i guess i am different than like every other person who commented, but i thought this was kinda difficult. I died and landed right in between 2 mobs. Every time i would come back to life, i could move an inch to take cover without dieing again. I did see someones comment to try and come back to life inside a house, which i was finally able to do. However, you can't fit the vanquisher you mount out of the door. I tried inching out and mounting, still didn't work. Needless to say, i had issues....So my advice, should this happen to you, rez in a house if you can and just hearth home and start again.

Commentaire de 928313

Found this super frustrating! The animal/dragon is so large that it obscures the field. The trajectory of the weapon is insane, the higher you fly, the farther the shot. It's not so hard to kill 150 citizens but the billestas (sp) are super agressive. Plus, they disappear and even when hit, don't die from one shot.
I kept falling from the animal for no apparent reason and landing smack dab in the field. It didn't help that I was poor as a church mouse and my armor was shot to hell. The one good thing is that a fresh animal has full health.
I finally killed the billestas by focusing acutely on their pillars and waiting from far above. It took hours! I get that this quest is supposed to be challenging but I really think it needs fine tuning to make it FUN, which is the point, after all.

Commentaire de 885261

This is (now?) a very easy quest. Just do it from outside the fortifications. You can take down the ballistas on the towers without taking damage since you have a higher range. And there are enough crusaders running around outside, too.

Commentaire de Fluffmeister

Totally screwed on this one, despite reading the comments on this thread. Killed 150 soldiers no problem, and didn't get attacked once by any ballistas. They were quite a long way south - so by the time I'd killed the soldiers, going to the lumber mill (to avoid the ballistas as Cryptcreeper suggested) wasn't an option, since they're out of reach there.

So I went to the ballistas, eventually managed to destroy one but only after dying several times. I can't seem to dodge them while also hitting them (they need LOTS of hits to destroy one).

Now my corpse is in the middle of where the ballistas are, and within a second of resurrecting, I just die again. I've spent about three hours doing this quest and am getting nowhere - my armour is totally destroyed, I've run out of gold fixing it, and will have to get resurrection sickness in order to leave the battleground - and if I abandon the quest I don't seem to have any others to do.

Commentaire de Horsebananas

Im guessing the quest was nerfed between the last comment and now. I had an easy time with it.

First, if you keep falling off the dragon its one of two things: You took a lot of damage and it died or you flew outside the designated zone for the quest. The zone is very similar to that of one of the first zone quests: The Eye of Acherus.

Second, I flew the dragon into the zone then ran on the ground spamming the frost attack. I payed special attention to my health and mana. When it ran low i "ate" a crusader and flew to the sky until the I could attack or eat again. Once I was at 100% on both I continued running on the ground spamming the attack. Super easy.

On a side note, this has got to be one of the most fun quests Ive done. Unlike billy goat punching I have to turn it in to move forward ;(

Commentaire de 999917

I'd find this quest really easy if only for the fact that none of my kills are being counted... so does anyone have a solution for this? I tried dying, logging out, abandoning the quest than picking it up again... and still nothing please help.

Commentaire de 1014137

Okay, I registered with this site just to comment on this quest, and how ridiculously broken it is. Not only can I not rez without rez sickness (because my body is in the middle of the battlefield), I can't even rez with rez sickness because there's a ballista that hits me in the graveyard. On top of this, there are soldiers who take damage and don't die, or are counted as slain but stay alive and keep shooting at me. On top of all this, my one attack randomly stops working despite having full mana, and all my armor has 0 durability left but there's nowhere to go for repairs.

Anyone have any idea how you're supposed to complete this quest?

Commentaire de bengrimm99

I've done the DK starter area a few times now and admittedly its a love hate thing...I did, once, have the trouble with the kills not recording properly and the mount not staying airborne, but most of the time, the biggest trouble was the balistas. Those things are deadly and like to coordinate their attacks. I finally figured out (duh, ikr) that the wyrm's range is much farther than the balistas. You can hover over the cauldron in the field and hit ALL of them. Just sit there and pick them off at your leisure. GL

Commentaire de 896921

The Balistas are large catapult-like arrow firing machines. They are located on top of the towers of the castle as well as on the ground surrounded by soldiers. It takes 3 or 4 hits to kill each one.

The soldiers fire arrows and the Balistas fire large bolts that pack a whallop. I killed 3 of the tower Balistas, but didn't get credit for them.

The strategy I found works best is to zoom the view in so you don't see your mount at all. Then fly high and target the circle of soldiers surrounding a Balista. Fly straight at it, fire when you are getting low, then immediately hit the spacebar to climb back up. The Balistas fire will go below you. Repeat.

If you run out of firepower, or health gets low, go back to the Lick King area. There are 4 or 5 soldiers attacking that base that your mount can eat to recharge.

There are no townsfolk to do repairs and you can't take the taxi. I even tried going to Light's Hope Chapel, but it was evacuated.

If you die, rez away from soldiers or you could die quickly. You might have to rez at he GY and take the sickness penalty.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I stumbled on a good way to take out the catapults without damage to myself. As you are facing the 2 wall you see that one rampart is lower then the other. Go up to the catwalk and hang there facing the rampart way to the right. No solders bother you and you smash the same catapult on the far right over and over. ( They respawn fast)The other catapult on the left is to high to hit you. Aster filling your quota, sweep back and forth between the opening in the walls to get your body count. If your dragons health gets to low head out and resummon. HOWEVER, the solders WILL run to the cauldren and kill you. Go high on the hills on the right side to resummon. There are a few flat spots there that is safe. I was never attacked up there. I WAS by the cauldron. GL

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Here's a hint. When you dragon gets injured much at all, just go back to safety and abandon him. Click the arrow on the right of the interface. Then summon another. Makes it very easy.

DON'T DIE! You WILL have to corpse rez if you die in the middle of the scarlets.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

For balista's fly to point 57.72 54.65
They are on the towers and you dont have to go low so they cant reach you.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I don't know if anyone has had trouble actually getting the kills to count as part of the quest. I did for ages then I noticed it only counted them when I was really low down. Found that the easiest way to do it was to hover over a group of them directly beneath me then press <space> and <x> to go up and down (thus avoiding most arrows) to kill them efficiently.

Try not to die, but if you do, either try and summon a new mount the instant you rez, or rez at the spirit healer - you'll be doing this for at least 10 mins anyway. Either that or go back to base, dismount and summon a new one or try to die next to the graveyard, where they apparently don't aggro.

Died several times trying to rez - would get blasted by some immense shot the instant I rezzed most of the time. Usually coming from some mega big elite dude lol.

I couldn't agree with these posts more..... what a pile of crap this quest is! The filght is awkward, the proper dispatch of ballista is unclear at first... OMFG!

However, best I can tell you need this quest to keep going, so..... don't give up! Once you get it down it's really not too hard. Advice here is pretty good. Once you figure out that you need to get up close to the ballista, being sure not to take more than 2 at a time, the rest is simple (though time consuming).

The ballista's will take you 2 or 3 shots each, from no more than 60 yard out. And the best way I found for killing gaurd was definitely bewteen the ballista gaurd walls (ie - the pathways leading into town). I recommend taking the ballistas first just because they're hardest. Once they're gone all you need do is worry about gaurd. For them, sweep in 5 or 6 times. Lay 2 blasts with every pass for the best kill rate, and you'll be done before you know it.

If you find you are close to dying just let it happen, though try and be as close to the field where you started, at the time. This way you just make a short run to your body, then blow the horn and your back in biz.

I do not know what moron develped this quest but he need's his butt kick. Of all the quest I have done in this game this is by far the biggest pain in the butt to do. You will die many times. Res and die again it takes about 2 hours to do this screwed up quest. Plus the gold you have to pay to repair your armor will come close to breaking you. THE 2ND TIME DOING IT, WAS WORSE THAN THE FIRST TIME.

just fly in a circle over the city, pick a catapult to shoot, fly down toward it and shoot it once. fly up and turn around. go back down and shoot at another catapult. repeat between the 2 until they are gone then pick 2 others. if you keep moving and going up and down, you should only get hit a few times. when energy runs low, swoop down lower than normal to the ground, hit "3" to eat a person, and fly back up. you will get hit doing this, but not enough to kill you. i only died 1 time before figuring out wtf to do.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This was really easy. Just fly out just beyond the range of the ballistas, get up pretty high, and pick them off till you get 10. You take zero damage. Then, just hang around the same area, and shoot the concentrations of mobs that occasionally gather at the base of the towers. When you get low on mana, pick up one of the running mobs or two, kill them melee style, and go up in the air again. Really easy.

I discovered that the Scourge encampment is a nice place to get your 150 soldiers, because there are no Ballistas, and the Soldiers there are only using mêlée weapons, so you won’t really get hurt. The only drawback is that it’s a bit slow.
Stay close to the encampment or take the west (right) slope out. If you try to take the east (left) you’ll get a warning that you’ve left the battlefield and after a few seconds your mount will dump you.
As for the Ballistas, I found an easy way to take care of them was to approach the city walls from fairly high altitude, from the North. That way you’re far enough away from any archers/javs to not get shot by them, and far enough from the Ballistas that they won’t fire on you until you fire on them first. Take them out at your own pace, ducking back northwards whenever you need to munch on a few Soldiers to regain mana.
If your Vanquisher gets hurt pretty bad – or, I suppose, if it runs out of mana and you don’t feel like taking a snack break – you can always just find a relatively safe spot to dismount and re-summon it.
For the love of Bob, don’t dive into the city. It’s really hairy in there, and it won’t take long for the sheer volume of enemies to put your Vanquisher out of commission. And when that happens, you’re on your own – and they’ll kill you even faster.

This is costing me a fortune. I cant get the hang of this! I have all soldiers killed, but need 2 more ballistas.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

this quest sucks

I hoe it makes you feel better but i died countless times trying this and unlike other areas with DK you have no opportunity to skip stupid quests because you only have one quest to do....

the only tactic i found vaguely useful was to stay low and strafe ie spam attack while never stopping, when i consequently die in middle of battle have to take rez sickness and wait 10 mins to die again as rezzing surrounded by 100's of hostile elites pointless

as i said this quest sucks

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I concur with the comments below...really tough quest, very frustrating. Died countless times as I was not being careful..Then what happens? You res in the middle of a battlefield and before you can dust yourself off, some catapult has shot you where the sun don't shine! I had to go back to Ebon Hold and get repaired..as commented above..costs a fortune.

So, the technique I developed was this..

Fly towards the wall and hug the ground as close as you can go...drive literally right upto the catapults and blast away, a couple of hits will take them down along with their surrounding troops. Move away asap and repeat. IF it looks as though your skele-bird thing is going to die, fly back to where Lichy is standing, jump off, call a new one and off you go again..

One final tip, if your server goes down mid-flight like mine did, when you come back on line you are going to be in free-fall and are going to hit the gorund really really hard..might be best to use the spirit healer rather than try and venture to where your corpse is for reasons noted above!

Good luck!

For balista's fly to point 57.72 54.65 and keep distance
They are on the towers and you dont have to go low so they cant reach you.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This quest can actually be very easy. Although I did die countless times before I figured it out. Just stay outside the town and below the level of the walls so the ballistas on top cannot hit you. Then just strafe between the two entrances and shoot the soldiers and ballistas on the path. Once I started doing it this way, I didn't die once and was done within minutes. And just a tip for those of you who venture into town and die, take the res sickness.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

There is no way I am going to every be able to complete this quest! I had no problem slaying the 150 Scarlet Soldiers, but I am unable to target the ballistas to get even ONE hit in before they decimate me! I have died TEN times. If this is the only way to get out of the Scarlet Enclave, I am going to be stuck here forever.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I flew the Vanquisher to 50,54 where there were hills out of the line of fire and where I could dump my 'empty' mana Vanquisher and summon a full one. Then with a recharged Vanquisher I flew up, looked South East and saw the line of 6 towers, each of which had a ballista on it. I just stayed up and out of range and keep destroying them. Didn't die once! The biggest pain in doing this is for some reason, not every ballista that disappeared gave me credit for destroying one. So I had to kill maybe 20 to get credit for the 10, but still only took 8 minutes...with no dying.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I stumbled on to a way to take the catapults out with no damage. As you are facing both walls, the wall to the right you will notice has 2 towers the left higher then the right. Go to the far right one and hover right over the catwalk facing the tower to the right. ( You are to low for the higher balast to hit you and no solders come up there and attack.) Just wait for the catapult to respawn every time which is fairly quick and keep taking it out until you get your quota. Then I did sweeping passes between the 2 walls to get my body count. If your bird gets low on health, head back to the hills to the east of the cauldren to resummon. DON'T do it at the cauldren. The solders WILL run out and attack. But they never came up to the hills. Good luck. Hope this helps.

I can't get the bird to fire at all. I keep getting "another action is in progress" message. What am I doing wrong?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I want to slap the idiot who made up this quest. I have died soooo many times, costing me a freakin fortune in repairs. I only need 4 more Ballista. Try killing at high altitude and it doesn't seem to work. Killing soldiers was a bit easier. I've had rez sickness so many times I've lost count. Looks like I'm stuck there forever! This quest is a PITA!

Commentaire de AwenDruid

Doing this in WotLK Classic, I had a terrible time with this quest. Dragon summoned ok, but the ranged frost attack simply would not work. The button would light up, but no attack. (The melee "gobble" attack worked fine) no matter how many times I reloaded UI and disabled mods.

I ended up having to beg to party with someone else and followed them around while they did all the shooting and I got credit. And even getting credit was wonky, sometimes I would visually see the NPCs or a ballista dying, but wouldn't get credit. We probably had to kill 300 humans and 15 ballistas to finish.

Commentaire de Wimbleton

Baffling. Nothing like the first time around. You can kill plenty of stuff from the air until you run out of mana and then what? Nothing works after that. My apologies; there must have been a workaround in the old days because I have a DK in retail that's one of my favorite characters.

Edit: The quest is clearly glitched in that I had to destroy about 30 ballistas to get credit for 10 and about 200+ soldiers to get credit for 150. But eventually I managed it, so if you're running into this same problem, just keep slogging along and you'll eventually get there. Refueling the Vanquisher didn't work either, so I just flew back to the starting camp, jumped off one and called another. Took me seven or eight of them but you'll get into the rhythm of it after awhile. Annoying but not fatal, I guess.

Commentaire de Rubyfire

9/2022, doing it for the retail mount:

For the Ballistas you need to be pretty low- they will fire at you (all of them will) but you can move to dodge it so be sure to move often. I used the biggest building (back side roof) to dismount and remount instead of dropping down to eat corpses, they were despawning too fast anyway. You will die fast if anything is nearby, so avoid sitting still anywhere near mobs. If you do die rez in the nearest building and hearth out or you will just get randomly murdered over and over, not worth it.

Commentaire de banditkeith

doing this in classic sucks. getting too close to the mobs will pretty much guarantee your frostwyrm dies, and then you get one shot while falling right after. plus it won't let you out of combat when you're done. much fun

Commentaire de series6

Like many I had the issue with the quest not recording or often not working.

Answer:
Deleted my Cache Folder a couple of times to get a completion.

Ignore the soldier count and keep killing until the quest completes - my counter didnt work half way thru and then after filling the spawn soldiers at the towers i got completion.

Commentaire de Auroraborealiss

I had issues getting my abilities to actually work, so I logged out, logged on another toon/signed her back out, then relogged and it worked! Hope this helps
