The thread is in the small room to the left as you enter. The cleaver is at the end by the lab equipment. The "Slab" is made of dark granite and is near the entrance, overlooking the lab equipment. You can save time by jumping down, getting the cleaver then clearning back to the entrance to use the items.

Ok there is only TWO item to loot, so don't do like I did and look for the 3rd item because there isn't the slab is where you summon that thing.

Comment by Danieltoon

I don't know about that. I died several times before I just let the NPC's beat him down. Fortunately, the battle still raged after most of my rez's so I was able to complete the quest. It's nearly impossible NOT to pull aggro during the fight. In the end, all the NPC's were dead, and I had aggro, but managed to pull it off. I don't think I could have done it without using Omen.

Quick note:
Fight with your back against the wall because he will knock you off the ledge and into other mobs if you don't.

Heres a picture that might come to help.

1. You go in the cave at 34, 68
2. go down a bit and turn left, head into the room and get your Thread.
3. get out of the room and jump down towards the lab
4. get up to the lab and get your cleaver.
5. kill your way back up towards the entrance and use Crusader Oaklin's Remains that's in your bag at the platform looking thing which is whereabouts you jumped towards the lab earlier.

Comment by Shylight

that picture was win thanks mate, saved me allot of time :)

Comment by Morrowlol

This Draenei looks in really good shape once the quest is over.
Even though he was torn apart by a frost wyrm, his body parts used to make abominations and sewn back together by someone who probably doesn't have a great knowledge of anatomy.

Comment by 75675

the cleaver for me is bugged i cant pick it up as it is saying it is already being used
i'm on frostmourne ... hoping this is just a temp issue

Comment by Wtcher

Crusader Olakin Sainrith: Thank the Light for granting me another chance. And thank you, .
Olakin: Without your help, I would've been doomed to a life of undeath among the Lich King's gruesome creations.
Olakin: There will be time for a proper thanks later, but there is still a battle to be fought!

Comment by evankimori

So...uh...what do I do with the leftovers? The stuff that I have no idea where it goes?

Guess I'll just vendor 'em then.

Comment by Dunni

Quest item reads -

Crusader Olakin's Remains
Quest Item
Use: Attempt to reanimate Crusader Olakin Sainrith. Requires you to be standing near the Sanctum of Reanimation Salb, and have a Spool of Thread and the Doctor's Cleaver. (10 sec. cooldown)

Proof of Blizzards awesome spelling skills

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

I wonder....

EDIT: In response to the replies to my comment, I didn't mean to imply that you needed a group for the quest. Was just stating that "put Humpty together again" and that the quest is called "Putting Olakin Back Together Again" made it sound liek that Blizzard got the idea/name of the quest from Humpty Dumpty :P

Comment by tgr316

To the same tune...

Darkrider Arly gave us a quest
To fix up one of Tirion's best
There's no need to panic nor bring in a friend
For this quest was soloed by a Paladin

Comment by NonsenseGibber

Quest is soloable by any class. Enjoy.

Comment by Jushak

I don't know about you, you, but my DK has killed ~100k creatures (and that is very little compared to some people...) in his journeys. When you hack stuff to pieces long enough you're bound to pick up thing or two about anatomy...

Comment by 259645

Some assembly required.

Comment by Rubent

Comment by taurenmoo812

Lol, this is daft, when I did this quest I was expecting him to be returned to life (after being ripped apart and used to make abominations) to at least come back as an undead draenei, but no, he comes back perfectly fine, not even a scar on him, and he just walks away like he just cut his finger or something.

Comment by toastmaster7727

Apparently Olakin never had a head. Only legs, arms, and a torso.

Comment by 370776

I just finished another Icecrown quest in which even Alexstrasza, Queen of the Dragons and the Naaru could not save a wounded warrior from the plague and let him live again in Azeroth, and yet this guy, who is dragged away by a bone dragon, torn to pieces, and his parts put into abominations who I can only assume are teeming with the plague, is easily reassembled by myself with some damn thread.

What is going on here?

Comment by N0str0

Above comment simply EPIC :)

Comment by Morec0

All the Argent Crusade's horses and all the Ebon Blade's men...

Comment by Ceriuswoode

Olakin = Anakin? This story sounds like a reference to the Emperor putting Darth Vader back together.

Comment by 494701

Ok - need some help here. I see the thread, cleaver and slab. But I cannot do anything with the thread or cleaver. Yes I have the quest ....... Weird

Comment by rainaterror

I'm having the same issue, does anyone know how we actually take the thread and cleaver? I abandoned then restarted quest but no luck.

Comment by aeoris

I have a feeling that the warlock wasn't really interested in having the paladin live a long and healthy life, but rather just wanted him around for the moral boost it would give his troops. If I were to look for some kind of explanation for this, I would say that we probably just resurrected him while he was infected with the plague. I mean sure he'll turn into a ghoul pretty soon, but for at least for the time being he's pretty much alive.

Comment by 501553

If you watch closely you can see his arm being sown onto his leg :S

blizzard has a weird sense of humor

Comment by Octinomos

Guess we have an heir to the Life-Binder right here!

Comment by 534473

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. .... but I don't want to spend a lot of money."

Comment by 892396

After he was sewn back together again after obviously being dead, i expected him then to have Undead under his name, dissapointing when this didnt happen...

Comment by tworley210

The spool of thread is in the small chamber through the archway on the left at the upper end of the cave. You pass the slab on the right as you go down to the final end where the cleaver rests on a table. The slab just looks like a platform made of skulls. Right click the bag of remains in your bags while standing on the platform after obtaining the spool and cleaver.

Comment by Barringa

This was a really anticlimatic quest. I imaged that we would construct some sort of horrible mindless ghoul out of Olakin's body parts. Arly, being a jaded death knight, would pronounce him good enough and tell me to take him back to the Argent Crusade, where they would be absolutely horrified. Arly wouldn't understand the fuss and a huge misunderstanding would spring up between the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Crusade, making for a really interesting and funny quest.

But no. Instead he just ressed and that was the end of the chain. Lame.

Comment by yitki

if ur trying to do the quest and u cant find the items it means u need to do the other quests first.(the ones the draenei gives u) after u finish those he will be taken (hes olakin after all).

Comment by kane

I'm not sure if this is due to Ice Crown Event or not. I'm 49 so I actually don't see or effected by the event. That being said I can't see the cleaver and thread. I'm stuck in the phase where we went in there before to burn the corpses' their still in there.

I tried the following:
- turn chromie time on for wrath
- turn chromie time off period
- turn pvp on
- turn pvp off
- logged off, logged onto alts, logged back on
- moonglade in and out of the cave.

Nothing seems to change or let me correct the phase. Sadly I'm stuck on this one at this time. I reported it to Blizzard but sadly 2+ day wait and it's my 2nd Last Quest for Loremaster.

Putting Olakin Back Together Again

Obtain a Spool of Thread and the Doctor's Cleaver, then take them to the Sanctum of Reanimation Slab and use Olakin's remains to attempt to reanimate the crusader. Return to Darkrider Arly at Blackwatch when this task is complete.

Near the Fleshwerks' flesh giant lab is the Sanctum of Reanimation. Search the area for a spool of thread and the doctor's cleaver. Then, take Olakin's remains to the large slab in the middle of the sanctum and get to work.
