As soon as you loot the Dread Relic out of its chest about 50 skeletons spawn in a wide circle around you and start closing in. They hit for about 170 on me (mail wearer). Quest says it recommends 2 people, and that's the only reason why, however I just soloed it by looting the relic and running away using earthbind totem and frost shocks.

Massive Treasure Chest with Dread Relic located at 43, 76.

Comment by somethinlike

The skeletons that spawned only hit me for about 7 and I am a Druid,also they only have (judging from how much my thorns did to them) maybe 500 health.

Comment by jackmard

Quick correction, this quest is turned in to Oakun, not Archmage Angela Dosantos.

Comment by Nradol

Coords confirmed.

Comment by chonchu

Coords confirmed and they´re very weak.
Hold until they get on the same spot, for hunter... 01 explosive trap and they´ll bow up.
Druids can pop barksin and 01 hurricane will clear everything.
Warrior can pop retaliation, mages can rape them with Arcane Explosion and etc for the other classes.
Its a cool action lol

43.9, 76.4

On the back side of the broken wagon thing.

Tip:Get on top of the chest then take the relic.Mount up and run through them.

I did this twice another good idea is have thorns(druids) or fire shield(warlock's imp)

Comment by Malak

Did it with 2 lvl 66 easy. Druid+warrior.. Druid heal warrior Whirlwind thunderclap cleave em :P

They drop like flies!

Comment by Hellreject

Would like to point out that it's not skeletons spawning. It's small zombie wannabe's. At least it was when I did it.
Location confirmed, quest was very easy. You can easily mount up and run before anything happens.

Comment by Farmbuyer

At the time I did the quest on my priest, I had reflective power word shield.

They spawned, I shielded myself, and they all beat themselves to death against the shield while I went to get a soda. :-)

Comment by peeweesweden

1) Open chest at 43,76
2) Flight form
3) Hold space down, and watch them stare into the empty spot where you just were.

Comment by Pegster

I had time to mount up and start moving before I noticed being surrounded by zombies, guess they've started spawning later than before if you all had them spawn before being able to mount, or I just got lucky.
anyways if you don't want to fight them mount fast :p

Comment by Risen

Very easy quest as hunter, just keep standing in the middle till they attack you (( their dmg is between 5 and 6 each hit, no big deal)) and then Volley + explosive trap and all are dead in a few hits :)

Comment by Kuwaii

In the offchance that you are doing this at lvl 70 like I was, you have enough time to get on your flying mount and just go overtop of them.

Comment by FuLL4290

I did not find this quest until I was 70, but once I opened the relic I finished the quest. I saw the green pillar of light and I didn't feel safe. :P So I get on my flying mount and when I look around there level 60 undead surrounding me. :O But yeah flying mount works if you are in my situation.

Comment by Talimar

you can just grab it and run away. the spawn is late and they cant run very fast.

Comment by Akufuji

Confirmed chest is at 43, 76. If you mount immediately after looting the chest you can easily leave the area without aggroing any / not too many of the skeletons.

Comment by Daimore

They have 250 health, too easy for a fire mage.
Wait for them to come, cast Blast Wave or Arcane Explosion and be sure to have your Molten Armor on.

Comment by zingr

Once u get the relic, there will be lvl 60 zombies that spawn all around and they will start attacking u, but don't worry they have around 200hp and are very easy to take down.

Comment by Beefkakke

66 Druid - grabbed relic, hit bear form, demo rawr'd, stood on top of the box and looked at them. Thorns killed all in approx 20 seconds no healing required.

Comment by korn

THe rep has had the human 10% removed incorrectly, it is 250 rep (+10% for humans).

Comment by Lauralyn

I see a lot of "solod this as <lvl> <class>..." comments and "can be found at <coords>", but for those who prefer to play w/out coords here is some useful info --> The relic can be found in a Massive Treasure Chest, Southeast of Auchidoun, in a cabin surrounded by burned wagons and debris and little zombies.
Good luck all! =)

Comment by Tranquility

for rogues basicly be careful for those lame cursed apparition.
sumtimes you walk into it if you just wanan sneak past everything and they agro the hell outta u

Comment by fbg111

Did this on my 65 warlock with about +400 dmg (+500 shadow). Figured Hellfire would take care of these guys, but it did nothing at all. Just fyi to other locks....

Comment by Jericon

they hit for about 5-6 on plate. A quick consecration took care of them very nicely.

Comment by MatadorBID

The key is on your keyring, btw. So don't go looking for it, just click on the chest.

Comment by swatfusion

as a rogue i didnt have any AoE spells, so i used my trinket, Chained Essence of Eranikus which did 50 dmg every 7 sec or so. It was a blast finally being able to knock down "lower lvls" like dominos.

Comment by Jocobo

Just as a side note, you can open the chest more then once if you wish. However, when you turn the quest in you no longer can as the key is removed from your ring.

Comment by Ajur

Rogues:
There are apparitions with stealth detection in the area. You cannot see them until they attack you. You will be stealthing through the skellies and suddenly see "Entering Combat". The will break your stealth and can potentially aggro too many adds to handle.

Save yourself the run and pick a good path between the skellies, so that if you do aggro an invisible spirit you will only aggro one add. I just popped blind on the add and easily finished off the spirit and then the skeleton.

Opened the chest, mounted, and booked it. Very easy!

Comment by kurushii

This quest has a kind of referance to the Indiana Jones:Riders of the lost ark ,i suppose

Comment by mandell

When you found the chest and opend it there spawns alot of undeads but don't worry they die of 1 hit and hit quite low.
so my advice is to do a AoE and you will make it quite easy

Comment by Cyra

This is a GREAT way to get your defense up just let em crowd around and when you get low health AoE them all quickly and repeat, once you have the key you are still able to repeat the action

Comment by Skreeran

That's a Zelda sized chest there... :P

Comment by Anuaros

I leveled my defence from 310-325 on this chest, very very easy way to do it if your a mage xD

Comment by sita2321

I was able to grab and mount. Didn't see any spawns.

Comment by Glepa

If you are a warlock, I suggest that you use your detect invisibility spell, because there are invisible mobs around the chest.

Comment by lonewolf686

If you are a mage, or any class with a wide variety of AoE spells, this quest is really fun. Especially when you open the giant chest. =)

Comment by Azure8P

I haven't done this quest yet, but considered they are 60 level and can all be killed by a single AOE, it looks like quite a fast way to gain some XPs as well. ^^

Comment by Crazy1337

You don't get exp from them!

Comment by nassy

Tip for DK: Use D&D, kills them in 2 seconds.

Comment by MacWoWGamer

Is it just me or does the carpet go really slow? Seems like a waste considering the cost to create and the skill level required....

Comment by LichSlapper

When you loot the dread relic it will spawn a lot of mobs. They are incredibly weak. If you want to avoid aggro, loot the relic standing on the chest and then do a mounted charge through them.

Comment by tenshield42

If you're a pally, use Holy Wrath when the zombies get close enough... It's about as badass as that move will ever seem.

Comment by moogledrink

Death Knights.

Blood Boil.

BOOM!

That is all...

Comment by Dangerdirty

I just did it a second ago and if you happen to have a flying mount it is possible to grab the relic and quickly run away if in a hurry or don't feel like dealing with the weak guys that spawn.

Comment by saraei

I completed this on my level 68 druid. The mobs appeared, but I never got attacked. I guess I shifted into flight mode too quickly for them to get me.

The Dread Relic

Oakun wants you to travel east to the Derelict Caravan to recover the Dread Relic. Return to Oakun when the task is complete.

	Dread Relic
	Derelict Caravan Chest Key (Provided)

Description

Long ago a caravan went to Auchindoun with a mission to take a Dread Relic from the ancient tombs beneath the necropolis. They fled, but the relic was their undoing. The relic is evil and it summons evil when touched. Their caravan was destroyed somewhere to the east.

This dark artifact is the key to a terrible plan to defeat Teribus the Cursed, a creature that flies over the Bone Wastes. Help me if you wish, but your life and even your soul will be at risk.
