This guy replaces Baron Rivendare in Stratholme in Cataclysm. Apparently same guy who was found inside the chapel.

Kommentar von 647847

Aurius doesn't wield Rivendare's runeblade, is it still obtainable in cataclysm? :O

Kommentar von Joshmaul

Is there anything in-game (or from Blizzard's people) that officially confirms that this is the Aurius from the Alonsus Chapel? It seems pretty clear to me, but I'm having yet another idiotic debate with somebody over on WoWWiki who thinks that because Blizzard didn't say so (in a quest, in an interview, whatever), it's still only speculation, even when it's...kind of obvious who it is.

Kommentar von TheeObserver

Awww Rivendare was so much more epic looking :(

Kommentar von SparkyTwist

I can confirm that after my 166th run I did get Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, so yes, it still drops :)

No mount yet though.. >_>

Kommentar von sorcereo

You'd think Aurius, being an ex-paladin, would be a bit more charitable to those who end his miserable undeath... this is untrue.

Kommentar von jtunis

Given the last name, it is probable that the new Aurius is intended to be of familial connection to Baron Rivendare. A son, probably not. A brother is more likely. A fitting explanation as to why Aurius gave no mention concerning his corrupted brother in classic was because he was ashamed and because it wouldn't have changed the dire necessity of the Baron's death. This is one of those scenarios (which is not the first) where no previous lore existed, until some was created when Blizzard gave a character a last name. I find it very fascinating.

I got the Blade Yesterday..........Not that good of stats......

Kommentar von aj876

If you're going on a Deathcharger run, have never been to the Stratholme instance and have found yourself lost running around Market Row/Festival Lane by following outdated information, then you're in the wrong dungeon. It's been split in two and what apparently used to be the back entrance to the Undead Stratholme is now the only entrance and you no longer need any keys to access it.

Zone back out to Eastern Plaguelands and travel west of the Stratholme marker on the map to the Eastwall Gate, the entrance to Undead Stratholme (The Guantlet) is here.

To get to Rivendare you first have to unlock the gate to Slaughter Square. On the map you should see a triangle of bosses around The Gauntlet designated by skulls. Each boss is guarding a tomb which will open once you kill it, and each tomb holds an Ash'ari Crystal. You have to destroy all three crystals to open the gate to SS.

Once you're in SS you'll find that Rivendare's lair is closed off. To open it you have to kill all of the Abominations in the square, which will trigger a boss to appear from the doorway. Kill it. Once it's dead, this will trigger a few waves of Mindless Undead, and once these have been killed five or six Guard mobs will spawn. Once these are down, the entrance to Rivendare's chamber will finally be unlocked.

Kommentar von bobac

This boss is a new Cataclysm boss. If you remember well there was once a quest with a paladin who helps you kill the old baron. He thanks you and dies there. The hammer of this boss bares a resemblance to the one the paladin had. The quest does not say that he is actually that exact paladin we helped, but it may be him. This cannot be yet proven for only a simple hammer and a coincidence that they both bare the same name aren't enough.

Kommentar von 774314

"Zone back out to Eastern Plaguelands and travel west of the Stratholme marker"

After many years of searching I realised that he meant we should travel EAST of the Stratholme marker

Kommentar von 567472

Coordinates for the Eastwall Gate service entrance (where you enter to access this boss) is 43.5, 19.2, Eastern Plaguelands. Look on the map and go to Eastwall Gate and you should easily find it.

Be sure, once in Elder's Square inside the instance, to stop in the chapel on the right side of the square. There are 4 quest givers inside the chapel.

Kommentar von 777154

i soloed this, and i dont know how i did it, but somehow i was able to obtain this mount in just one try. maybe its easier now that people arent interested in this anymore?

Kommentar von 478884

I can confirm that he still drops the mount, cuz I just got it today, funny thing is that the achieve still says "Obtain the Deathcharger's Rains from Baron Rivendare in Stratholme"

Kommentar von StaticLgtBrngr

I can confirm that he does indeed drop barons mount, after what must be thousands of runs on various chars since I began solo farming it at level 70 back in tbc it finally dropped for me just now.

http://i.imgur.com/QxoYz.jpg

Good to know he has it still for those of you who want it.

Kommentar von 822734

Because of the name change the counter in "Statistics" has stopped...
I don't know when and if Blizzard gonna fix it. But would be nice I think.

Kommentar von 652712

Decided to do a real quick run today after doing anzu in sethhek, I haven't ran strathome in months and i got the mount first run. I would say ive ran just 20 times which shows how horribly random this game really is, My advice to farmers keep a daily grind 10-12 no more and within a few weekd the mount is sure to be yours, good luck :)

Kommentar von Korillayn

I Can Confirm that Deathcharger's Reins drops from Rivendare as it dropped for me today on my 2nd Run.
The Achievement says Obtain the Deathcharger's Reins from Rivendare from Stratholme.
Character: Korillayn Realm: Frostmourne
Keep Farming Guys It Will Drop.

Kommentar von Doombane

dropped me at the first kill :D

Kommentar von 708893

For a quick 1.5 minute long guide telling you all the things you may want to know, there's a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ytxES3oVRc.

Kommentar von 831387

To Add somewhat further Clarification,

3 Specific bosses need to be killed. They are Maleki der Leichenblasse, Baroness Anastari & Nerub'enkan.

They'll be standing in front of these big chamber like things. Once dead, the door will ope. Go inside, and there will be 4 Thuzadinakolyths. Kill them, and the Kristall von Ash'ari will be destroyed (There doesn't actually seem to be any physical crystal).

Once all 3 crystals are destroyed, You'll see the following in your chat box:

Lord Aurius Rivendare yells: The Ash'ari Crystals have been destroyed! The Slaughterhouse is vulnerable!

You can now proceed through the gate (It was closed when the crystals were still active) to the final area. You'll see a bunch of Giftrülpsers and a few Gallspuckers. Kill them, and Ramstein der Verschlinger will come out. He will come out slowly, but he will attack you the moment he stops moving (so be prepared). Then a swarm of Hirnloser Untoters will run out. If you have an effective AoE spell, Now would be the perfect moment (I used Heulende Böe). Once they're gone, A bunch of Wachposten der schwarzen Waches (about 5) will come out. Once they're dead, Rivendare will yell out for you to come in, Run in and finish him off, and hope you get your mount :)

Happy hunting

Kommentar von 319057

Just did this for the first time on my main for the achievment... sure enough mount dropped. If only my RNG luck was this good for things I actually want! But cool nonetheless.

Make sure to kill all the acolytes in the ziggurats after you kill each initial boss.

Kommentar von Noctemus

Anyone knows where can i find the Kills of him on the Statistic?

Baron Rivendare is in Classic, but killing Aurius is not adding more kills to Baron rivendare.

Kommentar von Teiresias911

I would like to mention to the DKs here that you can actually get to the entrance (Eastwall Gate, Eastern Plagulands coords 43.5, 19.2) very fast from your "home" area that the Death Gate teleports you to. A quick flight east-north-east and you're ready to go for your mount.

I also use this as a way to accomplish several runs faster. On a timer, a DK with at least Artisan flying can shave at least 20 seconds off their total run times by using the Death Gate after killing Aurius and flying back instead of running all the way to the entrance. I have also found the time flying can be used to respond to missed whispers, check up on your Real ID friends, or alt-tab and look at wowhead.com :)

Kommentar von 267546

They changed the droprate.
Look first of all it is 2 different NPCs, so there is no proof they wanted theses 2 different NPCs to have the same droprates. Second of all, if you look at old Rivendare, for one blade drop, there is one mount, 1-1 precisely, far from that on the new rivendare, almost 2-1, way too big of a difference. If you take wowhead numbers as a bible, the droprate is now 0.8% instead of 1%, granted the level has been reduced from 60ish to 50ish, and they took time to rename the NPC, it looks like to me, this reduced droprate is indeed real. Which could potentially make that mount even more rare, and thus more awesome. Because the irony is that yes the mob is slightly weaker...but it's still a bug, and you are still stuck to 5 runs/hour...so it doesn't make farming easier...

Kommentar von TriesteHunter

Can we still get to him / does he still exists?

I have seen a couple of posts above from patch 4.1 or so stating they have received the mount; I though I read quite some time ago the mount was removed from the loot tables. I'm actually trying to farm up gear, but can't seem to get to him. In "The Gauntlet" there is an unopenable gate. And in "Crusader's Square" access to The Gauntlet is blocked by a similar unopenable gate. Anyway, if I missed the answer above, sorry to repeat. And I hope I didn't miss something obvious in the game, haha. Okay, thanks for any help!

Kommentar von Cidjej1239

How can I get access to The Gauntlet?

I ask because I can't come through the gate in Festival lane. Do you know if there are other ways I can pass the gate?

Kommentar von DefiasBandit

Killing him is being tracked again in stats. Under Stats > Dungeons & Raids > Classic it's now listed as "Rivendare Kills (Stratholme)".

Kommentar von Avalionis

ironic really...the Clout Mace with a droprate of 0.2% drops over the Deathchargers reins with a 0.8%

I've gotten more combinations of Helms, Maces, Rings, and Wands than anything else from this s.o.b.

Now whenever my alt gets Stratholme as a random, I drop. I hate this place with a passion, and secondly, pugs do NOT know how to run Stratholme.

Kommentar von atintegulsno

A little tip if you are farming the mount or something else he drops on a Death Knight.

Instead of running out of the instance you can use your Death Gate and fly from Ebon Hold back to the instance.
(It took me 1 min and 20 secs to get from Rivendare's room back to the portal without Glyph of Death Gate and On a Pale Horse)

When i ran out it took 1 min and 45 secs (My only speed boost was Unholy Presence)

Kommentar von 968578

This is a rare mount. Alltho i was super lucky to get it on my first run but my friend needed more then 300 try's. I wish you all good luck!

tip is to avoid as many packs as posible and just kill the 4 ziggurats to be able to reach the last room and in cata you can enter the service entrance to it goes alot faster.

Kommentar von 585305

Amusingly enough, the model of weapon he holds is actually identical to Ironfoe, a Dwarven legend.

It's obviously not the same one by lore reasons, but it's amusing nonetheless.

Kommentar von escapingeternity

just looted deathcharger on first run

Kommentar von zawyer

I was boosting a friend today, and he was kind enough to drop both the Mount and the sword. I got the mount, my friend got the sword :) I also got Raven Lord earlier today, and im going to do most of the other bosses that drops mounts. I seem to be on fire :P

Kommentar von Sabre070

First run of my farming for Zügel des Todesstreitrosses and I get the Runenklinge von Baron Totenschwur.

Too bad I'm a shaman...

Edit: 7 runs and 2 Runenklinge von Baron Totenschwur.

Kommentar von Freyfie

Well buggery me... flew from SW to EP, which is one hell of a ride. Running around following the advice of the first post which is very good, but wow geography... not my strong suit.
Get to the wave of mindless derps and I'm like... hmmm killed them, no guards? Run in to where the mindless dudes came from... gate closed behind me. No way out. Well !@#$. Lesson to all... don't go in there.

after 250 kills, i've gotten about 10 of the swords, no mount, and today this just dropped and isn't even listed under his loot table.

a 72-run drop Die Zügel des Todesstreitrosses ...strat. nevermore

Kommentar von 1068840

I run thorugh this dungeon with my level 60 DK every day now and i have not gotten the mount but i have gotten several other stuff which has lower drop rate. Any tips to get trough fast?

EDIT: I got help by a friend and the sword dropped so he took it :(

Kommentar von Kanariya

As of 5.2.0 his hair is brown and his eyes no longer glow.

Kommentar von Holyraider

how the heck can he be in naxxramas and Stratholme at the same time?

Kommentar von 1116114

Just got my Deathcharger today with my 85 priest. it was my 7th toon to try it on. I tried something different this time. I let lord Rivendare live a while and waited until after he summoned skeletons the third time... don't know if this helped but the mount dropped...I couldn't believe it :)

Kommentar von zikomiko

When i started solo this yesterday had to run this 21 times to get the mount. Good Luck farming everyone.

Kommentar von Drevv

Just a word of warning to hunters doing this for the mount, don't let your pet kill this guy for you. I did this just now by casting Kill Command and boom he was down, but I was unable to loot him. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Kommentar von MABGamer6407

This guy apparently once helped (an could fight alongside) to defeat his father in the original Wow. He was then slain by horde Palys who were looking for their chargers. After Catta he was brought unto Undeath.

His father then moved up in rank an replaced Highlord Mograine.

Kommentar von 887460

i just got my mount on my dk, after 57 kills. but no sword. however, sword dropped 4 times for my mage in just 25 kills...

Kommentar von Neiara

Neat little cheat/trick I found.

For those of you hunters who have the legendary cloak, you may know that the effect that procs can be used on mobs even through walls/doors.

So...

First off, make a macro for /target lord aurius. Now you need to gather all of the abominations outside of Rivendare's building, and pull them over to the right side of the building, as close as you can get to Rivendare. Aoe the abominations down and when the effect (hopefully) procs, spam the macro and you'll be able to attack Rivendare with the cape's proc despite a wall being between you. He dies, both of the building's doors open, and you've now skipped the majority of his little "gauntlet" type thing.

Edit:

8/4/2018

Works even without cloak, just by spamming kill command while toggling passive on and off on pet.

Kommentar von GymShark4L

39 kills... No mount so far, 1 sword though! Posting for luck =] I will edit when I get it!

/Marwyn, Laughing Skull EU

Edit: Didn't get it yet.. I was farming before bed and had 49 kills, thought "heck, I'll go for 1 more run so that I have 50 kills".. I run it, and in the end I see the text of an epic loot inside of the boss, at first I thought "YES", only to realize it was the sword I had gotten for a second time in 50 kills... T______T
aw. (Will edit when I get it, like I said before xD)

Edit no2: Got the sword again...... on kill 55.. Lol! I'm getting there...(hopefully)

Edit no3: FINALLY! I was whispering with by brother and told him I just had 58 kills on Rivendare and still no mount.. I killed him so I had 59 kills, and I did /beg on his corpse, only to troll.. And then I reset and enter again, kill him and on kill 60 It dropped! I'm so happy now :D Now I will never have to return to Strat again hoho

Kommentar von asktgm

Want to know how many times you've killed him without painfully searching through your statistics?

Use this macro:

/run print("Rivendare kills: "..(GetStatistic(1097)));

Kommentar von xb3au

Thanks for the assistance. But as someone already mentioned, travel EAST (not West) from Stratholme. Good luck!

Kommentar von 1264136

Two runeblades in 24 kills on this particular toon, still no mount. Maybe next run?

Kommentar von Racthoh

one day i will get this mount

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYunPcCQXeg

This guide will demonstrate the fastest way to farm for Zügel des Todesstreitrosses mount of Stratholme.

Bring along a, high level (92+ ideally), Feral Druid with the talent, Schnelligkeit der Wildnis and that your cloak has 10% speed bonus enchant on it (example: Gabe des kritischen Trefferwerts). While this guide will focus on using a Druid a Rogue will also work.
• If you have any other pieces of gear with a Speed stat, this can be helpful as well.

Travel to Northpass Tower in northern Östliche Pestländer and enter the Elder's Square Service Entrance gate located west at coords 43.5, 19.4.

1. Open the first gate between the Service Entrance and Elder's Square, and then activate Schleichen, followed by Anstachelndes Gebrüll.
• Follow Magistrat Barthilas to the next gate, Gauntlet Gate, at coords 63.4, 66.2.
• Open the Gate. This will cause you to lose your Schleichen, but if you shouldn't be attacked by the nearby mobs.
• Follow this passageway to the next gate, and open it.
• Activate Schleichen and travel to coords 74.6, 46.8 where you will kill Baroness Anastari.
• The doorway behind her will open -- go inside, round up the Thuzadinakolyth mobs and kill them.
• Exit the chamber, to where you killed Baroness Anastari.

2. Activate your Schleichen ability.
• Hang a right and continue toward coords 68.3, 20.0.
• Move around the mobs in front of Maleki der Leichenblasse, and kill Maleki der Leichenblasse.
• The doorway behind him will open -- go inside, round up the Thuzadinakolyth mobs and kill them.
• Exit the camber, to where you killed Maleki der Leichenblasse.

3. Activate Schleichen, and again, move around the mobs that are on the stairs in front of the corpse of Maleki der Leichenblasse.
• Hang a right, and then a left before the fountain, traveling toward a gate at coords 58.8, 34.0.
• When you reach 58.8, 34.0, activate Spurt and run through the gate to avoid being trapped inside.
• Travel toward coords 56.8, 46.6 and kill Nerub'enkan.
• The doorway behind it will open -- go inside, round up the Thuzadinakolyth mobs and kill them.
• Exit the chamber and go to where you had killed Nerub'enkan.

4. Activate Schleichen and travel through the gates in front of, and slightly to the left of you (where you ran through using Spurt a moment ago) at coords 58.2, 39.4.
Take the fork to the left, and travel to a gate at coords 54.0, 19.8 (you can ignore Magistrat Barthilas for the sake of this speed run).

5. Once in Slaughter Square, round up and kill 9 Giftrülpser mobs.
• Defeat Ramstein der Verschlinger, who will come out of the building at 42.6, 20.3.
• Travel to a gate to the left of the building (coords: 43.0, 29.5) and kill the Hirnloser Untoter that come through.
• Go back to the building where Ramstein der Verschlinger came out of and kill the Wachposten der schwarzen Wache that come forth.
• Enter that building and defeat Baron Aurius Totenschwur.
• Hopefully your loot will contain Zügel des Todesstreitrosses.

NOTE: While in Schleichen, avoid as much of the trash as possible as you want to maintain your speed increase that goes along with Schleichen.

Kommentar von Aaahead

Speed tip if you're repeatedly running the dungeon by yourself for the mount:

Rather than running back out after you kill Rivendare, pull up Group Finder, join a group (preferably one with auto-invite, like "Realm hop" groups in the Custom category), then leave the group.

It will give you the message "You are not in this instance's group. You will be teleported to the nearest graveyard in 60 seconds." After the countdown, it ports you a few yards from the Eastwall Gate entrance so you can "Reset all instances" and try again. Perhaps you could run out manually in 60 seconds, but this allows relaxing 60 second breaks!

Addons like "Cross Realm Assist" and "Server Hop" may make finding and joining an auto-invite group finder group a few seconds faster than using the default interface.

Kommentar von Greeny123

Can't believe I am still farming his mount after all these years!

Kommentar von Viserate

Did something happen to his loot table? The only thing he is dropping now is the Helm, 4 runs, same single drop. Hope this is just bad luck on my part, we'll see after a few more runs.

Kommentar von mpwalter

Wow, this guy is impossible! My level 65 dwarf shaman had no trouble with the other bosses in this dungeon, but this one has kicked my butt three times now. All the comments seem to be about how many times it takes for him to drop a certain item, but I can't even kill him once. What's the secret?

Kommentar von mpointe

The Scaling for this mob seems totally bugged at the Moment. He needs 3 to 5 Hits from my Level 110 Fury Warrior who Speedfarms this wit an itemlevel of well over 800. Srsly?

Kommentar von Tomiss13

The sword cannot be 1,8%. 128 kills, no mount, 12 swords. Some comments here are pretty "encouraging"... Stonecore took me the most runs. (I'm talking about dungeons specifically.) 122 was the number required for the mount. But there were teleports, so it wasn't that painfull. Stratholme is hell. I can recommend Mage with Chrono Shift and Bear Tartare. You can fly through the dungeon. But the way back is still very painful... :-( (I don't want to use Hearthstone removal, you never know when someone in Blizzard decides it's an exploit and they will take some action against you...)

Kommentar von nyrx

There is something very wrong about the droprates for the Sword and mount rn I think...

imgur (DOT) com/a/1fVlb5e

I have received 30-40 swords and no mounts in 200 runs...

Kommentar von Abersyth

Must have been a Fury Warrior before he turned, he can drop two Runeblades in a single kill!

Its 2% drop chance, so its mathmatically a 0.04% chance to recieve a double sword, rarer to get that than the mount! Its happened three times now...

Edit: Got the mount next kill... spoopy...

Kommentar von endow

Drop rate are off. I have looted Baron Rivendare's Runeblade 25 times (exactly) in the past 7 days (3% drop rate). Deathcharger is said to have .8% drop rate, which means it should have dropped 6-7 times for the 25 times the runeblade has dropped. ZERO after COUNTLESS runs. Not to mention I'm a vanilla player and have run this countless times over the years.

Kommentar von Shingen258

Ok, im standing right in front door before Aurius Rivendare, door is CLOSED.. What the @#$% ? What is this bug, how do I get to him?

Kommentar von Vaugn

Bonescraper (blue dagger) is not listed here on his drop table but is unique to his drop table. It also still drops -- I was farming it for transmog and it dropped about two minutes ago.

Kommentar von ToniaS

I randomly decided to run this while talking with friends, and twice in a row i got his sword which has 4% drop rate. Well thats life I guess

Kommentar von Switchedon2

so started tackling this today. got the sword after 15 runs. now the grind for the mount begins

Kommentar von Vicalyn

If you go in the instance entrance shown on the map and are wondering how to get to the other part of Stratholme, with Lord Aurius Rivendare, run back out. It's a completely different entrance at Eastwall Gate, /way Eastern Plaguelands 43 19 . It does not have the typical blue instance icon on the map, but go in the gate and through the short corridor and you're there.

Kommentar von grumbl8

Had no issues in Slaughter Square killing all the mobs and then Rivendare. Unfortunately there were NO quests available before or once I entered the Servant's Entrance.

Once I cleaned out the entire dungeon, THEN friendly NPC's arrived with quests for Rivendare and a few other items. Of course, impossible to complete since I already finished killing everything. I did get the dungeon achievement for Stratholme though.

Had to wait a few days, then go back in to do it all over again for the quests. No idea why the quests appeared AFTER the dungeon was complete.

Kommentar von WinterRain

Not sure when it became bugged, but as of the 10/01/23, the undead part of Stratholme is bugged and cannot be entered. I decided to farm the Rivendare mount and found myself in an endless loop entering the main gate no matter which entrance I took. This makes farming the mount impossible at this current time :(.

Kommentar von NoChill

You now enter via main gate and follow the signs round to the undead, gate is open without killing any bosses

Kommentar von SJPadbury

As Of Patch 10.0.5, you can get in via the service entrance again if you have Key To the City from Magistrate Barthilas. If you don't have it, you can just keep to the right as you enter the main entrance, and kill him when you get to the other side now that the path between the 2 sides is open again.

Kommentar von fortncookie

No problems clearing (though I had forgotten how to get to main boss). Take your fastest toon and a speed boost if you have it. You can run this over and over ( just right click your portrait window and click clear instance outside after a run) till you get the mount so you may want to park a character here. Some say you need the "key" some say you don't . you can read comments below. but I entered the Eastwall Gate and walked in. You will go to the 3 temples kill a mini boss standing outside the door then you MUST go inside and kill the 5 npcs inside each temple. The gate will open at the end boss you MUST kill all abominations, then kill all skeletons, some fancy guards will come out the doors, kill those and then the door opens to the end boss. This is for newbies who haven't been here before.

Kommentar von clockwerkhero

If you are looking for Old Stratholme with Aurius Rivendare, go into the new one (MoP revamp) and go to the Festival Lane gate. Once you pass through the large entrance you will be back in the old Strat and can do your mount runs.

Kommentar von Topazz

got it after 32ish runs on the same day my gf broke up, so yeaah me...?

Kommentar von merlin2oo2

Make sure you kill the Thuzadin Acolytes INSIDE the ziggurats, not just the bosses. Otherwise, the gate to Slaughter Square will remain closed.
