Strategy Tips for Duskwood:

Zwielichtverderber frequently casts Seelenverderbnis on all players within a 40 yard radius, knocking them back and afflicting them with Soul Corruption (debuff), which deals 740-860 Shadow damage every 5 seconds for 15 seconds; this cannot be dispelled. He also casts Alptraumkreatur, another shadow spell, which mind-controls a player for 30 seconds. Shadow Resistance could be useful here, but sacrificing damage for it might not be worth it.

If anyone dies during the fight, the boss becomes stronger. The boss should be tanked in a spot that allows the Healers to be out of the line of sight of the boss while also being able to heal the Tanks and Melee DPS. Classes that can attack from 41+ yards are able to ignore the Seelenverderbnis by standing more than 40 yards from the boss; this can make the fight significantly faster, as long as the Tank stands still.

Here is an excellent video from 2006 that shows off how you should organize your Tanks and Healers! This was recorded by a Druid named Ragult from the guild Nihilum, on Magtheridon EU. They wipe once, but they use the same tactic on the second attempt and kill the boss.

Strategy Tips forDer Alptraum offenbart sich

Important: Be extremely careful with AoE abilities in this town! If you hit a player flagged for PvP, the Zirkel des Cenarius NPCs will become hostile and you will risk causing your raid to lose a large amount of reputation. Keep an eye out for anyone trying to ruin your reputation, and kick them from the group as soon as you can. If you drop below Neutral, you will be unable to turn in this quest.

Ideally, your raid should be more Healer-heavy than usual, to keep everyone alive. You will want at least a full raid group, but you can bring more than one raid group.

In addition, I heavily recommend that your raid members bring Zanzas Glanz. The Sheen will reflect every single fear cast by the Alptraumphantom, which negates that entire mechanic for this quest. This is probably a bug, but an original Vanilla Scarab Lord confirmed to me that it was a bug that existed back in 2005, so it's unlikely to be fixed.

You will be fighting many Alptraumphantoms at first, which will spawn all around Nighthaven and run to you. They are Undead, so you may want to wear your Argent Dawn trinket during this fight, if it beats your current trinket. They cast Schattenblitzsalve on all players in front of them, and they gain 75 attack power, 10% run speed, and 20% increased size when they kill a player (from Aufwallung der Seelen). They also have a hidden aura called Aura der Furcht, which gives them a chance on hit to fear for 3 seconds all players and guards within 50 yards (Aura of Fear (debuff)). Keep the creatures off of your Healers, and be sure to heal Bewahrer Remulos.

Alptraumphantom is the most difficult part of this encounter, especially at the beginning. The common strategy has been to focus them down one at a time with careful positioning. You will need to have everybody in the raid inside the wide house that overlooks the lake. See the image below for starting positions. Most of your Tanks will be positioned near the doorway so the Schattenblitzsalve can't hit the entire raid. One or two Tanks will pull the Alptraumphantom to the kill spot over by the Melee DPS, so they can focus it down. You have to do this quickly so you do not get overwhelmed. The second kiting Tank can prepare another mob to be brought in once the first one is dead. Three Alptraumphantoms can also spawn inside the building. There will always be three when the encounter first begins; they need to be killed as soon as possible so the Healers and Tanks can prepare for the waves.

After some time, Alptraumphantoms will stop spawning and Eranikus der Tyrann des Traums will land and engage in combat. You must damage him down to 20% health to complete this quest, but the quest fails if you kill him. Drop Ignite and other large DoTs before he reaches 20% health. Tyrande will show up around 50% health. She periodically casts Mass Healing, which will very quickly heal all players within 100 yards of her to full health.

Eranikus der Tyrann des Traums will use Noxious Breath immediately when he lands and periodically in the fight, which deals 350 to 450 damage every 3 seconds and increases the cooldown of your abilities by 10 seconds. He also casts Acid Breath, which deals 875 to 1125 Nature Damage and 150 Nature Damage every 3 seconds for 45 seconds. Of course, he also uses the typical Schattenblitzsalve. He may also cast some variation of Acid Spit, which will deal a small amount of damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds).

After he is cleansed by the power of Elune and your quest is completed, you must return to Bewahrer Remulos. You will be given the Grüner Szeptersplitter.

The Ahn'Qiraj content will unlock with the weekly raid reset on July 28 for all realms in this region.

At that time, players can begin the quest chain to craft Das Szepter der Sandstürme, and players can turn in gathered resources to advance the Ahn'Qiraj war effort.

Once both of those activities are completed on a given realm, the gates of Ahn'Qiraj will be available to be opened.

We’ll see you there!"

I'm preparing to do this questline and this was very helpful. Just a quick heads up, the wrong reward is listed for The Wrath of Neptulon. It has the rewards from Treasure of the Timeless One listed.

Kommentar von slider187

just a small typo in the Stage 1: First Three Quests section as you wrote you get put at 0/360000 hated rep which would be an awful grind :D

Kommentar von mickthefish

The first step is a little out. You only discover the rep and gain 100 rep for handing in the first quest.

Kommentar von coletrain86

Do you still have to gather 200 carapaces for the first part if you plan on getting your rep from aq/gong event?

I made it with 2 seconds to spare on the timer.
Not advised, its safer to go to port and back

Kommentar von superwonderphil

Please update this with the SoD variants of the rewards. They are easily found by going to the "same appearance" tab. The SoD quest rewards are much stronger than this guide suggests.

Kommentar von Xaphireftw

The last few words tho, so nice! I remember glitching out in Scholomance aswell as Naxx to get into Plaguelands it was really weird, only back in the day tho.

Anyway, Scarab Lord Hype!

Stupid Goggles.

Kommentar von dan2092

Hello, I just want to double check is the shifting sands scepter still available during the 10 hour (48 hour in sod) war? If someone finishes their last scepter colour and turn it in during the war can they still receive the mount?

Kommentar von RazerQuick

Hopefully someone has the answer in Phase 7 of SoD. But do you NEED to do the 3 Shard Quests in that order? I'm only doing this for the cooking recipe, can I just skip to Azuregos? Mainly asking cause he didn't appear for me so I assumed I have to do the others first. Any help is greatly appreciated as I'd like to avoid doing too much group stuff.

Kommentar von Nezzey

This guide was immeasurable for my own scarab lord questing. Thank you for compiling this :) I'm sure many other scarab lords used your guide as a reference for their own journey!
