Comment by Neryssa

In case you're having issues completing this scenario, here's what I did that fixed it:

Try to stick to Renathal at all times - At Stage 4, when you’re running through the stone legion mobs ambushing you, stay by his side so when you're ambushed by the stone legion mobs, he stops and fights them.

When getting to the final stage, you will see Denathrius at the end of the bridge and a couple elite mobs protecting that bridge. Get close but do not engage them. Renathal is supposed to teleport there and one-shot them.

Comment by Republicarthas

If you get stuck like I did and there are no NPC's to talk to and all the mobs are dead, you'll need to abandon the Master of Lies quest to exit the scenario.

Comment by parisLegend

after stuck 6 runs i deleted cache folder und unwear all old items like necklace old set items /trinkets and it worked 1st run

Comment by Whisperwindo

In case you killed everything and somehow lost your NPC. Jumping off the edge in front of Sire Denathruis will force a disconnect, log back in and it'll put you in the entrance of the final stage, respawn all the elite mobs. walk in and your NPC will be back and you can continue to progress.

Comment by Vyzaj

After i finish this quest, i am not given any following one. Only a grey ! above the prince, i supose because i am only level 58.
Would take a lot of mob to kill to get 60 to be able to have the next quest if it needs 60

Comment by Chasseur

After reading the comments, what I did was log out in the scenario came back in and walked back to the yellow dot on the map and 3 adds are there but let them come to you and all of a sudden the NPC appeared in front of me talked to him and the scenario ended and turned in the quest.

Comment by Shammldavis

None of these worked. I hard closed the program and came back in. Some of the bridge elites I had killed had respawned. But I was still alone. I went to the outside of the bridge and let them kill me. I brought my ghost back and respawned. Then I traveled to the far bridge where there were no elites and went to the gold dot in the middle. The NPC appeared and I turned in the quest.

Comment by Lounani

Once you move to the Final Stage, run to the marker on the map without hitting/killing any of the Elite mobs. This should spawn Prince Renathal who then one shots all the Elite and allows you to engage with him.

Comment by Aerynsun8449

When we're doing the story line run though, it might be nice if the last quest from the last section would point to the first quest in the next section. I finished Prince Renathal chapter and now I'm suppose to do this chapter. But where is the quest giver? I haven't a clue blizzard. I haven't a clue.

I did it on a alt, but obviously I stumbled onto the quest giver. The map doesn't show a single quest marker for me to check out. Half the map is blue (addon - Leatrix Maps and Leatrix Plus - that shows the map but undiscovered sections are in blue and the underlying information is visible) nine flight points, two dungeons one raid and no quest givers.

Comment by JasperKazai

Perhaps I'm the only one who ever tries this kind of stuff, but do not bother wandering around/exploring when in this scenario. If you stray too far from the areas they want you to be in, they teleport you back to the beginning. Which is annoying, but not the worst. However, near the end of the quest, I wandered off in one direction, and the teleport animation played. Instead of being teleported back to a spot, though, I was simply kicked out of the scenario and dropped into the actual zone around Castle Nathria. I had to hearth out, and go restart the entire scenario from the beginning. Definitely was not worth the trouble, lol.

Comment by giigii

If Renethal is stuck at the start, abandon quest and requeue. Watch the cutscene.

Comment by Ozyorkbourne

I was just patient and waited, eventually everything fixed itself for me.

Comment by naphomci

If you get stuck at phase 4, what worked for me was logging out and back in, and then leaving the circle with the dot by the north, and then that triggered it. Could just be you need to approached from the north.

Comment by yallayallaa

i rushed to the boss, died, and can't rezz. be careful :)

Comment by serragwin

I dropped and redid the quest, but may have been able to get back with Prince whatever his name by going here if I had known where he was located at the start of stage 4.
Stage 4 seems to start around here /WAY 42, 34.

Comment by Simec

Shouldn't it be cinematic at the end of the quest?

Comment by omlgkzry

MAKE SURE YOURE LEVEL 60 KEKW i couldnt start the quest and was so confused but i needed 60 to continue

Comment by flopana

At Stage 6 you have to kill the mobs there's no item or clickable something to Empower these three things

Comment by perken

Bugged when in group. When i queued solo it worked.

Comment by donquixote235

During the battle with General Kraal (stage 5), another general comes out (I forget his name). Whatever you do, do NOT mind control this guy! It causes Stage 5 to end immediately, but the general doesn't despawn (because you MCed him). As a result he will fight you for almost the entire rest of the scenario. He's designed to be unkillable, so the best you can do is get him down to 1HP.

Eventually everything fixed itself around Stage 7, but Stage 6 was a HUGE pain in the butt.

Comment by melissam

Let your gargoyle bros do all the heavy lifting here.

DO NOT AOE. Just hit one mob, back off a bit, and let the G-squad take care of the rest. They will all hop down and take care of basically the whole scenario pack by pack.

Comment by RedCat30

The anima you need to empower the NPCs is in red-glowing containers (interact with them) and glowing orbs dropped by slain enemies (walk through them).

Comment by Nimzimul

You can have soo much fun with Anima Overload

I did gather as much as i could because the Anima Containers did respawn so i did spend a while in the scenario and there is a cap of 255 Anima Overload.
The buff is insanely fun to have:
Movement speed increased by 510%
Haste increased by 255%
Damage done increased by 2.550%

And as a bonus it makes you bigger for every exess anima you have :)

Now lets se if Sire Denatius is so tough! ^^

Comment by glacialhawk

In case you want to read it altogether, here's the dialogue that occurs during this quest with significant actions in < >. As there is a lot of dialogue during this quest, this is only the dialogue during the scenario itself, not the cinematic and its aftermath.

During the scenario:

<A short cinematic starts upon entering the scenario.>
<Dredgers use the mirrors to direct the Light down the pathway to the Court of the Harvesters, burning all in its path.>
Prince Renathal: Maw Walker! Come, gather up as much of this anima as you can. This type of binding is temporary but should strengthen you for the battle to come. We are going to use the anima Denathrius stole against him. When I led my assault against the castle, the Master turned my entire army to stone with a simple wave of his hand. We will need these soldiers. Denathrius is not the only threat we will need to face. Find enough anima to awaken as many of the stoneborn as you can.
<You drain any anima canisters you come across and slay all in your path who are loyal to the Sire. Along the way, you awaken any Stoneborn you come across.>

<Your group makes its way to the northern edge of the Court of the Harvesters. Prince Renathal leads the group, consisting of the Accuser, the Curator, Theotar, and Nadjia the Mistblade.>
Prince Renathal: This was once the muster field for the Stone Legion. Watch the skies, for they are watching us.
<Fighting your way through Dominance Gate, your group comes across General Draven fighting with General Kaal.>
General Kaal: Draven! Do not make me destroy you.
General Draven: Kaal, if you ever cared for me then trust me now and stand down.
General Grashaal: You selfish pup! We do not stand down. We do as we are ordered!
General Draven: Grashaal, they woke you to take my place? (now yelling) If you want me, come and get me.
<General Draven flies off, with both of the other generals following him for their aerial fight. Your group continues into the Menagerie of the Master.>
Prince Renathal: Quickly, Maw Walker, while Draven keeps them distracted. We must gather as much anima as we can if we are to face Denathrius.

<While gathering anima in the Menagerie, Sire Denathrius takes notice of your group. He and his animated weapon Remornia comment as you siphon from each font in the area.>
The Curator: (yelling) Here, Maw Walker, let me extract as much anima from this font as I can. You will need it.
Remornia: Ooooo, look who's coming! Can I butcher the Maw Walker? Please?
Sire Denathrius: Restrain yourself, Remornia. This is Revendreth. We do not butcher, we... educate.

The Accuser: (yelling) Let us put this anima to better use. Maw Walker, be ready.
Remornia: Master! I want to teach these usurpers a lesson. A very sharp, pointy lesson!
Sire Denathrius: They are of little consequence. They will see the futility of their rebellion soon enough.
Prince Renathal: (yelling) We are out of time. Gather what anima you can and then we move on Denathrius.

Remornia: The Prince is here... along with his harvester traitors!
Sire Denathrius: My poor, poor Renathal. I had so hoped he would be standing at my side to share in this glorious moment.
Remornia: He is unworthy! I will present his head to you as a trophy!

<In the center of the Menagerie, you are met by the stoneborn Myskia. After defeating her, you regroup with Prince Renathal, the Accuser, and the Curator. >
<Speaking to Prince Renathal, he says this.>
Prince Renathal: Can you feel it? The shift in order? Something is happening. We must move swiftly! Three Harvesters and a Maw Walker infused by the raw power of anima from the many realms of the Shadowlands against one lord of death, whose dominion we stand upon the precipice of. Let us face this dread together!
<You signal to the Prince that you are ready to face the Master.>

Comment by glacialhawk

In case you want to read it altogether, here's the dialogue that occurs during this quest with significant actions in < >. As there is a lot of dialogue during this quest, this is only the dialogue the cinematic and its aftermath, not during the scenario itself.

Part 2 of quest dialogue:

(Please excuse my non-dramatic retelling of this scene. Go watch the cinematic if you missed it!)

<The Master of Lies full cinematic begins.>
<Your group charges ahead to face Sire Denathrius. On the bridge, the Accuser and the Curator are ambushed from behind and lifted into the air by gargoyles. (I'm assuming this is also the Maw Walker's fate as you're not visible in this cinematic but are part of the assault.)>
<Alerted by his allies' plight, Renathal turns around and dramatically slays the gargoyle coming for him, Vorpalia swirling with the absorbed anima. He then continues his charge forward.>
Prince Renathal: (yelling) Denathrius!
<Sire Denathrius turns around, seemingly unconcerned about the situation. His eyes flash to something behind Renathal.>
<Hearing a whistling in the wind, Renathal parries the animated weapon flying to attack him. Presumably Sire Denathrius' sword Remornia, it (she?) attacks Renathal as he runs toward Denathrius. It lands several good blows against the Prince, and he stumbles in his charge. He falls to his knees in front of Denathrius, bleeding heavily and panting.>
Sire Denathrius: This was your valiant last stand?
<Remornia flies quietly back to Denathrius and acts like a sheathed two-handed sword.>
<Renathal seems exhausted and drained, as he stays collapsed on the ground. He gasps as Sire Denathrius puts a hand around his neck, squeezing it as he lifts Renathal into an upright position.>
Sire Denathrius: For so very long, you've punished arrogant souls. But instead of learning from their suffering, you've become one of them.
<Renathal struggles to breath as Denathrius pulls his face closer to his own.>
Sire Denathrius: (in a deeper growling voice) You just needed to obey.
<He extends his arm, essentially keeping Renathal at arm's length, still carrying him by the neck.>
Sire Denathrius: (back to his normal voice) How fortunate you are to witness the splendor of what is about to unfold.
<The camera cuts away to the massive anima canisters around the sides of the bridge and pavilion where he is standing. They slowly start to descend into their fonts, as if to release the anima they contain.>
<Denathrius starts to walk down the bridge, giving Renathal a view of what is happening around him.>
Sire Denathrius: Every precious drop of anima, so painstakingly wrung from the tortured souls of lesser beings, now paves the path for the Banished One to reclaim what was his.
<The camera continues to cut between the anima fonts and Sire Denathrius as he walks back across the bridge to the Menagerie.>
Sire Denathrius: And once his liberation is secured, it shall be by his will that all is washed away. The only power that will emerge from this torrent of change is Death.
<The camera zooms in close to Denathrius' serious expression.>
Sire Denathrius: Death, and those who shaped its victory.
<The view flips to Prince Renathal, who seems defeated but not broken by the situation.>
Prince Renathal: Someone will stop you, Denathrius! Even if I--
<He is cut off by Denathrius tightening his grip on the Prince's throat.>
Sire Denathrius: (in a soft voice) Shh. Do not speak. Observe.
<Dramatic music starts up as the anima canisters sink fully into the fonts. The release of so much anima has a physical effect on the environment, ripping away everything in its path, as the massive river of anima flows into the Maw in the distance.>
<Renathal breathes weakly as he sees the outflow of anima behind Denathrius. Denathrius finally releases the Prince from his hold. Falling heavily to the ground, Renathal lies prone and groaning. He barely lifts his head before Denathrius locks his gaze with the Prince as anima starts to gather around him.>
Sire Denathrius: Remember this lesson.
<Denathrius disappears from sight in a cloud of anima, leaving somber music in his wake. Renathal drops his head back to the ground, a blood red Maw visible in the distance beyond.>
<Cinematic ends.>

<Fading back to reality, you are unconscious on the ground in the Menagerie. Waking up, you find your allies nearby. Prince Renathal is in a kneeling position but leaning back on his legs, in the same spot he collapsed in the cinematic. He is flanked by the Accuser and the Curator, while General Draven guards them from a short distance away. As you walk closer to Renathal, you can hear the stream of anima flowing away.>
<You speak to Prince Renathal, completing this quest.>

(The next bit comes after you accept the next quest, but it follows this conversation so I'm including it here.)
The Curator: The Maw grows, surging with this flood of anima. I fear nothing will stop the Jailer from breaking free.
The Accuser: Denathrius is surely gathering his forces inside Castle Nathria. Unchecked, his loyalists will soon overwhelm us.
Prince Renathal: We must rally the Harvesters at Sinfall while this mortal returns to Oribos. They must be told what transpired here.
General Draven: I shall escort the Maw Walker, my prince. Come, mortal.
<Draven takes flight with you safely in his grasp.>
General Draven: I can take you to the closest flight master to Oribos. From there you should head to Oribos. We must inform the other Covenants of what happened here.
<Upon landing in Pridefall Hamlet:>
General Draven: Head to Oribos. You need to talk to The Voice of the Arbiter. I shall meet you there.

Comment by ZiziHyde

im stuck in stage 6 with one mob evading on empower the accuser...wont let me abandon...no other mobs to kill to get kicked out of the scenario...i cant move forward no respawns...help!

Comment by hunterlife14

if you get stuck on stage 6, try to abandon the quest as best as you can. I had to log out and back in to leave the scenario

Comment by alpanhell

Besides the fact the story and cutscene (seriously what is up with the bad cutscene, you don't even show up in it?) doesn't make much sense, I really didn't like this scenario.

Too much RNG! I did it on a ton of different toons and I'm amazed I only died on one. You have all these random flying mobs that can target you, your "helpers" of course do whatever they want (in the blizz way of helpers) and the last guy you fight will just own you if the helpers don't do a good job (depending on your class of course).

On the plus side if you die you spawn right there.

Just as an fyi, I played around with Anima Overload and got it up to 48 stacks (so a 480% dmg buff). There doesn't seem to be an upper limit on it.

Comment by Varix12

one guy at a tower is stuck in Evade mode and...yea Idk. I couldnt do anything else and i logged out and back in and had to redo it.

Comment by Galdorlinwe

Did anyone see or know how we get knocked out before the cut scene at the end?

Comment by Regormak41

You do not need Prince Renathal to do these stages. If you lose him or he seems to freeze, just carry on with completing the story line and finish the stage. When you finish, he will show up for the next stage. He froze or left me in the middle of almost every stage so I just went on without him. Finished the scenario easily. Don't need to logout or abandon quest. Just carry on!

Comment by knight85

can you still do threads of fate if you complete this quest?

Comment by Plufproop

Several people have commented that Stage 6 is broken because the Dread Siphonist just goes to evade, making it impossible to finish. There seems to be no solution. I submitted a bug report and await a reply...

Comment by Plufproop

In Stage Two, it says "Awaken Darkwing Stoneborn".

You have to awaken the Darkwing Rebels by clicking on them after you collected a bit of anima.

Duh. Bad explanation.

Comment by Bluemax76

My level 60 paladin can't get the final campaigns (Master of Lies) in the Master of Revendreth campaign. Prince Renathal said to let him know when I was ready (which I understand is level 60). I became level 60 and went back to him. He still tells me comeback when I'm ready. Am I missing something?
