*Edit - 3.0.3 updates

As of the current Wrath live build (3.0.3), this quest is two-mannable with a tank and a healer. I just finished it with an 80 Protection Warrior and 80 Holy Paladin. Both characters have standard Northrend 5-man Blue/Green quality quest rewards.

Landgren is in the Cathedral at Onslaught Harbor - it's hard to miss.

Clearing to the Archibishop is reasonable. If you do like I did and just charge in the front door while on your flying mounts, you'll end up with 4-8 normal level 80 mobs - a couple Onslaught Paladins, Harbor Guards, Raven Bishops, and possibly a Gryphon Rider or two.

The main chamber has 2 packs of 5-mob pulls - 1 Raven Bishop, 1 Harbor Paladin, and 3 Harbor Guards. These will respawn at a standard mob respawn rate (I'll estimate it at 7 minutes for now). Their respawn also seems tied to Landgren's respawn, so you'll most likely have to clear the room again if someone kills him shortly before you arrive.

Landgren himself is accompanied by two normal Harbor Guards. Landgren has roughly 300k HP with 80k mana (essentially endless for the purposes of this encounter). He melees for 1200-1500 on a warrior with 20k armor, Mind Blasts for about the same with no resists, has a Shadow Word: Pain that ticks for an unknown amount (thanks Cleanse) and has a Mind Sear that ticks for under 1k for several seconds. His Mind Sear is otherwise like a regular priest's - it has a 10 yard AoE effect around the target. He is unstunnable and uninterruptable. At this time, you can Spell Reflect his Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Pain but not his Mind Sear.

At 50% life, he switches to Shadowform gaining 25% damage to his Shadow spells.

As you may have guessed, Shadow Resist is effective against all of his spells.

The fight itself is straightforward - no Fear, no Mind Control, no special tricks like that. The only issues to contend with are the possible respawn of the interior guards and the AoE of Mind Sear.

To deal with the possible respawn, you can bring some DPS. 1 competent DPSer -should- be enough, 2-3 would be safe. I had Landgren around 30% life with all the DPS coming from the Prot Warrior when the room respawned.

You can also do like I did and pull Landgren to the alcove (You have this word, yes? Alcove?) before his main chamber. Your healer/ranged DPS can stand in one corner to avoid Mind Sear while your tank/melee hold Landgren in the other corner. You should only have to handle a respawning Raven Bishop or two if you stay out of line of sight of the main chamber and the guards towards the exit of the cathedral.

To deal with the Mind Sear, just have your healer/ranged keep their distance from Landgren. Note that if you fight any Paladins at the same time as Landgren, they have a Charge/Intercept which can interrupt casting. As of this time, the Charge/Intercept does not spell-lock like a Kick or Counterspell.

Once Landgren is down, be sure to quickly use Arete's Gate to finish the quest and to grab the follow-up quest. Landgren himself doesn't really have any loot, so it's best to use the gate as soon as you kill him.

All in all, it's an easy fight provided you have a plan to deal with the adds and you use the gate right away.

Do not forget to take the followup from Lord-Commander Arete INSIDE the cathedral after he's done talking, everyone in my group missed that part.

Commento di jaschmidt22

Is this quest bugged? I've been waiting inside the Cathedral with a group for some time now and he wasn't here when we came in and he still isn't here.

Edit: Nevermind, he just has a very long respawn time.

Commento di jaxsonbateman

Soloable as a holy paladin. I say this not to gloat, but in the interest of advising other holy paladins how to get this quest done themselves if they are unable to find a group.

Basically, clear out the trash in the cathedral (I pulled both groups at once and AoE'd down), then pull the Archbishop into the square shaped alcove near the entrance, fighting him at the cathedral end, not the entrance end. I basically focused on him, had Seal of Wisdom and Judgement of Wisdom up, and used all my damaging abilities - consecrate, holy shock, shield of righteousness and judgement of wisdom on every cooldown. Thanks to the massive regen of SoW/JoW and Divine Plea, I was rarely below 90% mana. I used Ret Aura as the Archbishop melees a fair amount for a caster, and his damage isn't anything to worry about.

I'd basically just continue this until my health reached 50%, then I'd cast 1 Holy Light and continue. I tried to maintain a Sacred Shield at all times as it's a fair chunk of mitigation for such a low mana cost. I also didn't bother getting out of Mind Sear - it doesn't do much damage at all. When the Raven Bishops respawned, I simply AoE'd them down, stunning them when they went to cast Raven Heal.

I should note that his Shadowform doesn't really change much. There's a very, very slight increase in his damage, but it's nothing that needs a strat change for. You simply continue using all your damaging cooldowns with SoW/JoW until he's dead. You then use the quest item on his body, wait for the UD DK to finish his dialogue, turn in the quest, and receive the follow up - which, coincidentally, is also soloable (see that page for details).

Finnaly done :D

soloable by balance druid. took 5tryes and 8min fight but its possible to solo as this class to :D

simply put urself in a corner with lifebloom and rejuvenation up at all time. on the boss u summon ur trents every cd and keep monfire and insect swarm up. be ready to use mana pot and go in shadowmelt as u summon ur treants so ur pot cd restarts...

Commento di 179945

Any hunters given this a shot at solo?

I am sick of looking for a group so i might just try...

Commento di 6736

I solo'd this quest on my death knight. Mostly instance blues, 2 badge epics and the wraith spear from naxx.

I stayed in frost presence and threw whatever tanking gear I had in my bags on. With talents I was at about 24k hp with 514 defense. Not sure how big of a difference it made, but it certainly didn't hurt.

I was a runetap/scourge strike build at the time, with hysteria. I didn't use scourge strike at all, I only used death strike. Just keep the diseases up, use pestilence to kill the adds that are by him. Use bone shield, hysteria, rune tap and potions if you need.

It wasn't too scary and there were numerous times where I'd be at full health. Use Icebound fortitude and AMS as needed.

It just took a while, the packs were respawned by the time I had killed him. Not to scary, just slow.

Commento di 227538

If anyone else is around when you kill the boss, make sure to open the portal straight away. I was soloing it as an 80 Holy Paladin, when at about 30% a group of Horde came in and helped DPS him the rest of the way down. Once he was dead, I had to spend a couple of seconds checking my bags for the portal item, in which time the Horde group had opened their own portal. This meant that while I got the kill credit, I had to take him down a second time to get portal credit.

So beware - anyone can open the portal and take that part of the quest credit, and only one portal can be opened per kill - no matter who made the kill.

Commento di 31892

Some great quotes on this one from Lord-Commander Arete. He's an unusually polite member of the Ebon Blade, but when he gets upset at Landgren he goes off with 'YOU WILL TELL ME WHERE THE ADMIRAL IS OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL'. He's quickly becoming a great minor character.

Commento di PilsnerDk

I solo'd him as a ret paladin. The trick was to use seal of wisdom and judgement of wisdom, in order to keep mana up. You'll need to frequently use Holy Light on yourself, and immediately cleanse his hard-hitting DoT.

Another important thing is to fight him at the back of the room, behind the altar, or you might get your fight ruined by respawns in the cathedral.

When he's dead, use the portal, then speak to the NPC that spawns (Lord-Commander Arete) to complete the quest and get the follow-up.

Commento di Furism

I killed him today, and opened the portal (got the credit for it), but Arete wouldn't give me the follow up I waited until the end of the script (where he tortures the Archbishop a little bit), but then there was nothing. Clicking on Arete didn't make him speak to me or give me the follow up.

Commento di Liri

Archbishop Landgren yells: I will not die so quickly this time!
Lord-Commander Arete says: Well done. Let's get this over with.
Lord-Commander Arete says: Come, Landgren, cough up your soul so that I can ask you a very important question.
Landgren's Soul says: You'll get nothing out of me, monster. I am beyond your ability to influence.
Lord-Commander Arete yells: YOU WILL TELL ME WHERE WESTWIND IS OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL!
Landgren's Soul says: No.
Lord-Commander Arete says: Then you leave me no choice. I won't say that I won't enjoy this.
Landgren's Soul says: STOP! It isn't worth it. I'll tell you where he is.
Lord-Commander Arete says: Very well. Tell me!
Landgren's Soul says: On the south end of the island is a cave -- a hidden hollow. The grand admiral has holed himself up in there, preparing for the final battle against the Lich King.
Lord-Commander Arete says: A hidden hollow? How very interesting. You've served your purpose, Landgren, but I'm afraid there'll be no resurrection for you this time!
Landgren's Soul yells: AAAEEEEIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii........................................
Lord-Commander Arete says: Now that the unpleasantness is finished with, let's talk about you dealing with Grand Admiral Westwind.

Done this (easily) with a retri pala and a holy priest.. Not hard for any 2 decent geared toons I'd say.

Commento di 309887

Just solo'd as 80 Resto shaman.Was bit of a long fight.But I proceeded to clear room.Then ran to top ledge he is standin on.I killed his adds first .Then popped up the totems I wanted .He does do a bit of dmg but just kept mana shield up and my mana stayed round 50% .Didnt have to blow mana tide or Bloodlust.Would think most healing classes could solo just not much dps and makes for long fight.Just hope the opposite faction doesnt come in while u are in combat. You are a sitting duck for lil while is all .

Commento di 234994

Soled as holy paldin takes 5-6 min but no problem to do

Commento di 220291

Did this yesterday with a holy paladin and me a unholy DK. Did the Q 3 times now, first i got credit for the portal, second time for the kill but I forgot to talk to the dude from the portal to complete it =/

Do not make the same mistake I did and complete the Q in the cathedral :P

Commento di 319530

Archbishop Landgren is at 9.5,47.1

Commento di 307768

Just did it and it worked fine. Was able to solo as blood/frost DK but it was close a couple of times. Started by summoning ghoul pet and army of the dead and went in (cleared room first of course). Should have just gone in with amry, as I was counting on using Death Pact on pet during the fight, but it was killed early. From there it was straight tanking - keep diseases up, death strikes for health (saved me) and some lucky procs on bloodworms all helped alot. Had to drink a health pot and used all CDs (except hysteria - I didn't want to lose the health). He had me 1-2 hits from death near the end, but VB/RT poped just in time along with bloodworms and I ended the fight over 20k hps, lol.

Commento di sneakkz

Solo'ed today with my Protection Paladin, used Seal of wisdom and judgement of wisdom to keep my mana up and sacred shield. piece of cake

Commento di 172622

Killed him, used Arete's Gate about 30 seconds later, nothing happened. Just kept giving me the message "You must be in the presence of Archbishop Langdren's corpse while Arete isn't present". Well Arete comes when you kill him, so? A few minutes after Arete's text wall was done, he left and I tried using Arete's Gate again and it didn't work. Why is this happening? I really don't think I can solo him again, I got pretty lucky.

Commento di 330451

Soloed him as Ret Paladin :) wasn't fun. Took 3 tries. Had shadow resist aura up, seal of light, judgement of light, and beat him with my 2hander. Just cleanse all the shadow wards, and pop all ur "art of war", free flash of light's. I didn't use consecrate so much to conserve mana. Didn't have to bubble or use lay on hands, but did use a mana pot. Oh and sacred shield up every 30 sec. HAVE FUN! Although I was looking at the quest rewards on the next quest, and missed it, now i have to kill hiim all over again :( /cry

Commento di nocturne

Easy for a Blood or Unholy Death Knight, since you've got enough self-healing to counter his damage. I used Frost Presence with my standard 17/0/54 DPS build with tank gear to take him down. Remember to use your cooldowns (Raise Dead/Death Pact/Empowered Rune Weapon/Army of the Dead/tree-specific clickies) and this fight is in the bag. Even with the self healing and trading off between Bone Shield, Icebound Fortitude and Anti-Magic Shell, I still had to use Death Pact to regenerate a good chunk of health about three-fourths of the way into the fight. Frost DKs will most likely have a very difficult time with him. If you have it, Lichborne is suggested for self-Death Coil goodness.

Commento di Miwna

Just soloed as an affliction warlock. Mostly 25man gear though. Took a while, about 6-7 minutes but it was simple. Just kept Siphon life and haunt up on Landgren and let Voidwalker tank.

Commento di 341532

Solo'd as a prot paladin using SoL/JoL. Between his casts he melees so save holy shield for then. LoH if needed.

Commento di 348838

Soloed this as a level 80 elemental shaman with full tier 7,5 :)
It was kinda hard, popped all my cds and he went down

Commento di 317762

Soloable as a Tankadin.

During the battle use every skill which allows you to gain mana (GBoW, Seal of Wisdom, judgement of wisdom, Divine plea <Dont forget to dispel divine plea when you start healing yourself!>) And heal yourself full everytime your health gets low. Dispel SW:P he does.. and it's pretty easy just takes a long time!

Commento di nowayride

This quest is complete hell.

First time, we got him and left, didn't realize I had to stay and talk to someone. Was trying to get away from the respawns. Didn't help either that Questhelper confirmed the turnin NPC was on the main land.

Second time I died and lost the NPC

Third time we finally got him. Took forever.

Respawns are absurdly fast here.

Commento di Glowyrm

Solo'd as an 80 Discipline Priest. I have pretty decent gear, almost full 25m naxx. I think as a cloth mana user at least Naxx 10 gear is needed. Just AE'd all the mobs in the room down with Holy Nova. Then I focused the 2 adds quick while Pain Suppression'd then ran to the SE corner of the room (while facing his spawn spot). This corner allows you to stand and fight there without worrying about the adds respawning and adding.

I relied on Rapture to keep my mana @ around 15-20% pretty much the entire fight, except for when Shadowfiend was up. Just kept dots up on him and PW:S myself with a few heals when needed until Shadowfiend pops. Every time Shadowfiend popped I would burn my mana on DPSing him and then back to maintaining about 15-20% (just enough to live, dot him, and shield myself while waiting for the next Shadowfiend) again while just keeping dots up and PW:S/flash healing myself. Need to use Inner Focus/Power Infusion/Pain Suppression as every time they are up to save on mana. Pop Hymn of Hope right after a bubble to get a few ticks off too.

The whole fight is long and takes patience but you never really get into a danger zone. It's just tedious. You'll most likely have to go through 3 Shadowfiend uses and bring 1 mana pot. The fight took me a little over 15 minutes but it was done. I was pretty surprised because I only read of Pallies and DK's (surprise) and the occasional Shaman soloing him. This is for the clothies!

Commento di Malfious

Iv'e been waiting for the past 15 mins after clearing his room, and he hasn't shown up yet.

:Edit: After leaving his room and re-entering, he seemed to spawn and he came streight for me, pulling all the respawned packs

Commento di 277135

Soloed Archbishop Landgren as a retribution paladin (level 80, deadly/hateful/naxx10 gears). He is extremely tough for ret pals, but you can defeat him eventually if you take time.

Judgment of Wisdom, Seal of Wisdom, and Blessing of Wisdom are must. Otherwise you'll soon run out of mana and can't last the long grueling fight.

Commento di dinkybaker

Ya well i soloed this easy as pie as an unholy dk. i have mostly epics but i can see a dk in greens being able to solo this quest. Basically use AMS evey time you can for the helpful mitigation. Keep diseases up and use death strike. Easy as pie.

Commento di 282600

solod as a rogue (mutilate)

Commento di Zahorijs

Soloed as a resto shaman in nax hc/uld normal gear. Searing totem, flame shock, lava burst and heal, heal, heal. Use water, not earth shield. And kill him at the most back or you will aggro respawns. Took me about 15 min and 1 mana tide totem.

Commento di FishHead

As a prot warrior who's used to soloing 5-man's I can safely say this this quest is a PAIN IN THE ASS.

Don't bother trying to solo it, you'll need a healer since he's not stunnable or interruptable and he casts much more frequently than Relfect is up,

Commento di Fandolo

Soloed as a Retribution Paladin in blues, crafted epics and rep. rewards. Used seal of light and had sacred shield on as much as I could. Judged with Light and dispelled his Shadow Word: Pain as soon as he cast it on me, and self-healed when The Art of War procced.

He was easy; dont forget to hand in the quest where you kill him. Dont do as I did, as I had to kill him twice to hand it in... :/

Sorry for my english :)

Commento di 9388

Soloed as 80 Blood/Unholy DK. 24k HP with DS healing 3.6k. All quest/rep blues. Just keep the diseases up and let the adds succumb to UB and diseases.

Commento di 95158

Soloed as 30/41/00 warlock. Levelling gear, no 80 epics.
Siphon Life, Improved Health Funnel and Felguard are your friends.

FG had 12.1k health. I had 14.1k

Commento di Varlot

Yeah, so if you die from respawns, like I did, before you got the next quest you'll have to kill him again.

Have fun.

Commento di Mudskipper

Just soloed as a 0/56/15 Demo warlock. Just kept my Felguard on him and took out the adds first, using siphon life and drain life when needed. Had to soul shatter once also. Quite easy, just a little slow :)

Commento di 234619

Solo'd as a resto shaman - too some time esp. focusing on Flame Shock, melee and occassional spell cast with Searing Totem, but downed.

Commento di 219207

very easy with BM hunter, just clear the room send pet in and heal dps from max range so he cant dot you up

Commento di RabbleRouser

Relatively straight forward to solo as a T8 geared Enhancement Shaman. Just used my cooldowns and burned him down. You may want to save Maelstrom procs for a Healing Wave after he uses Mind Shear, but other than that nothing real tricky.

Commento di 155663

Soloed as an feral tank. One health pot needed.

Commento di 442837

i soloed both this quest and the one following with mal'ganis no problem at with with a ret pally. all you gotta go is keep seal of light up. ret aura. kings. and pop judgement of wisdom so you dont run out of mana. i needed no bubbles or lay on hands.

Commento di nerflocked

Quite easy with afflic lock (80, pvp epics) + voidwalker + soulshatter. Just keep up corruption (heals you if talented), and heal your pet. Just make sure you pull him into the left upper corner, as there is a chance the room will re as it takes a bit of time. His adds are cake, just dot em and shield yourself (or HoT).

For fun, I tried to do this with the daily quest (From their corpses rise) and get a bunch of minions whacking at him, but unfortunately the quest item does not work on the corpses inside the cathedral (by design I would assume...). Worth a try.

Fun quest line, and nice followup (glad to see they have kept SOME elite NPCs in this world..) most quests are made 2 easy imo. Cool interaction too when you open the gate. :) Have yet to do the followup ..

Commento di 455908

Soloed as a Tankadin with a mix of ToC/Crafted Epics and Blues.

Use Shadow Resistance Aura and go to town on him while using the Pillars to LoS Mind Blasts. At 50% he'll go in to shadow form, but it shouldn't make too much of a difference. If mobs respawn, feel free to grab them and continue going to town on the Archbishop - With Sanctuary they'll fill you up with mana while Hand of the Righteous coupled with Seal of life will heal you for more then they can damage.

Didn't Bubble or Lay on Hands, but depending on gear differences you may need to.

Good luck.

Commento di Cadenbrie

Just soloed him as Prot Paladin in the Crafted Saronite Set plus a rep blue, not the best gear to be sure. It was rough and took awhile but I managed to take him down in the end.

Sacred Shield, Seal of Light, Divine Plea and alternating JoL or JoW depending on my needs and he went down eventually.

Commento di mdagis

Easy soled as a hunter. He has a nasty Shadow Word: Pain and Mind Blast. If you get low on health just get out of LOS and bandage and wait for spirit bond to heal you. Just remember to heal the pet.

Commento di JanBrady

I'm a protection paladin (in mostly blues, a few greens, and a couple of epics), and I solo'ed this - it was difficult, to say the least, and took several minutes, but if you're a prot pally, it can be done if you just stay on your toes with quick thinking and stay focused and level headed.

I did many things the same as the post above me. I cleared the trash up to the door, buffed up to put myself over 24k health, turned on Seal of Vengeance and Greater Blessing of Sanctuary, and hit the mobs inside the Cathedral sanctuary with Hand of Reckoning to draw them to me. After clearing them, I then hit the Archbishop with Hand of Reckoning, backed up and followed with Exorcism when he dashed toward me, and then Judgment of Light. My tactic was to pull him just to the doorway. Not into it, else you'll get the guards outside on you when they respawn.

From there, you just start whittling him down. It'll take a minute to rid him of his regular guards. Keep all your focus on him, let the AoE take care of them.

Remember you have a few tools in your arsenal to keep your nose above water - Divine Protection, Divine Shield, Sacred Shield, Divine Plea, and Avenging Wrath. I never used the latter (I should've). Use them the moment they're available or necessary. Once you set Divine Plea up, it refreshes itself, so avoid the temptation to hit it again. I kept my Shadow Resistance Aura up and absorbed probably around 20-30% of each shadow hit. As he dragged me down under 10k, I changed from Seal of Vengeance to Seal of Light. When I was OOM from his spells, I kept Sacred Shield going and hit Flash of Light every few seconds. When I was down to 5k, I healed. When I couldn't heal from OOM, I potted. Combined, the Seal of Light and Judgment of Light will kick back quite a lot of health to you, and at this point your goal is to endure, rather than deal fast damage/create threat (which is what we're used to doing, so it's easy to go on autopilot and change seals and judgments and auras).

Again, when he calls in his reinforcements, ignore them. Keep your eyes on him, let AoE handle it. Keep hitting him:

Judgment of Light
Hammer of the Righteous
Shield of Righteousness
Holy Shield
Consecration
Avenger's Shield

again and again and again. He's immune to stun, so don't bother. I didn't mess around with Exorcism because it's too much time to stand around casting when you've also got to heal yourself. When you're healing, you'll take the hits and will lose a lot of the green, but don't obsess over it, just carry on. Try not to use Lay On Hands until absolutely necessary - if you can get him under 150k before you use it, even better. That's halfway.

At some point you'll notice that Seal/Judgment of Light are replacing almost everything he's taking out, and sometimes even popping you back up to the halfway mark on the health bar. But most of the time I bounced around between 2k-10k health. Just keep enduring, whittling him down, and healing. You (hopefully) should make it out after 5-7 minutes of fisticuffs.

When he finally falls, don't get all excited and forget to put up Arete's gate before you leave! :)

Commento di Lindentree

Tried and failed to solo it as a prot warrior. Buffed up with food, potions, and a scroll of stamina, and threw on Battle Shout. Also guzzled a magic resist pot from a TBC quest that I had lying around right before engaging.

He didn't hit very hard or very fast: I popped last stand/enraged regeneration at about 1/3 health, and didn't die until a minute and a half later, so I'd estimate he does around 300 dps. He just has too much health to burn down, and he cannot be silenced, interrupted, spell reflected or stunned.

Demo locks appear to be able to solo this though: I met one on his way out as I was going in, and had to wait for Landgren to respawn.

Commento di 49307

Soloed this as an Ulduar geared prot pally. It was a bit harder than I was expecting given the comments and I ended up having to use my bubble and LoH. I think I could have done better and avoid that. The next quest was far easier to solo - I spent most of that one at full health.

Commento di inois

Soloed as feral tank. 4400 GS. when he channels you run away for some heals.
Very hard fight! As he died all mobs respawned and killed me:)

Commento di dascott

Has anybody ever had trouble with being unable to turn in the quest?

We just barely managed to kill the Archbishop, then summoned Arete. We got the scene between Arete and the Archbishop's soul, all the way up to: Now that the unpleasantness is finished with, let's talk about you dealing with Grand Admiral Westwind. Then... nothing. Arete just stands there with no question mark over his head. We thought maybe we misunderstood and went back to quest giver. Again, nothing. So, we tried to go back and kill him all over again and, of course, wiped badly.

Anybody else have a similar difficulty...

Commento di 373855

Soloed as BM hunter with gearscore 4900.
Just keep the aggro of yourself and constantly Mend Pet. Works like a charm, even though it is a long haul :)
Didn't have to put out any traps, and my simulated deaths only to keep aggro down.

Good Luck :)

Commento di 293593

Soloable as a blood DK tank. However, unless you have really good gear, I seriously do NOT recommend you try to solo this. Wait until you are level 80 and have average ilvl of around 200.

Did this as a level 79 DK with an average ilvl of around 155 and nearly died around 5 times. It took so long to kill him that the adds inside the room respawned. It took around 5 minutes to kill him and I had to use a potion to save my life when all my runes were on cooldown.

For those players still interested in trying this (why do you hate yourself so much), spam Mark of Blood, Vampiric Blood, Icebound Fortitude, Anti-Magic Shell, Rune Tap, Raise Dead, and Death Pact every chance you get. Aside from cooldowns, also spam Death Strike. Make sure to also have a potion for emergencies. Fight him at the very back of the room as to not accidentally aggro the respawning adds.

The follow up quest "The Admiral Revealed" is easy to solo, though.

There must have been a change in a recent patch, because no one has mentioned the two mobs he has with him. Non-elite, so they died pretty quickly to my ret pal, but coupled with dealing with him, my resources are nearly drained by then and I tend to die before my CDs reset.

Soloed as a retribution paladin with
4759 Gs,
22k Hp
1494 armor (with berserk enchant on my weapon activating more like 13 k armor)

I used Seal of light, blessing of might and retribution aura. Healed myself when Art of War activated (obviosly with flash of light ^^) and ocasionally when my health dropped i use Holy light. The thing is i was kind of running out of mana even though JoW(judgement of wisdom) and had the replenishment allmost all the time (probably because of my rotation and the constant healing)

Ps he is imune to stun so probably other similar effects don`t work on him...
He also crits for 4k (on 13-14 k armor) or so but that`s easily manageble ...

Hope this helps...

Soloed as a Shadow Priest with 5.5k GS, but could do it with worse gear as long as you have the mana pool.

Landgren is a SP too, so you know what you're up against. Make sure you have Shadow Protection up. Get his adds down as fast as possible, then keep your normal single-target rotation up at all times, dispell his SW:P and heal yourself when necessary.

With Shadow Protection you're more likely to be troubled by his melee damage than his magic, at least that's what I found.

Not really a difficult solo fight for a geared SP.

Solo'd as an arcane mage in 5653 GS. The hardest quest in Icecrown I had experienced. Took me 5 tries and wouldn't have gotten it had I not gotten a godsend of 2 Valkyr procs off Nibelung during mirror images, bugging out the threat mechanic giving me 45 extra seconds of no threat while the valkyr effectively healed through his and one add's damage. I didn't worry about the adds seeing if I didn't kill him in the time alotted by mirror images/valkyr, he wasn't going down. I merely pulled him with a A blast, polied one add, popped cds, popped MI, and laid into him.

Tried to solo with my DK...some purples and mostly blues...could only get him down to 98K...

Commento di Allakhazam

Ok since nobody gave any useful information other than "Couldn't solo" or "Took 2 people"

Archbishop has 302k hp, melees for about 1500 against 12k armor, uses normal priest spells, shadow word: pain, mind blast for about 1.5k (Shadow Resistance helps a ton), etc. He's immune to all stun/silence effects. Hope this helps!

Like any "Scarlet" style boss fight, they are inside the Cathedral up near alter.

The quest possible with two DKs in run of the mill blues. Just remember to use your Army of the Dead just before you run in! We had no issue of respawn of interior guards.

Descrizione

I'd heard they have an archbishop in their cathedral, but I had no idea that they'd resurrected and promoted Landgren! The Crimson Cathedral is heavily guarded with only one entrance, so you'll need help.

We still need to know where the grand admiral is, but this time we're not taking any chances!

Take this device. It can be used to summon a gate for me to step through once you've killed the archbishop.

I'll have my answers directly from his compelled soul! We will find Grand Admiral Westwind!
