I'm guessing this is the Blizzard version of the Central American holiday Día de los Muertos or "Day of the Dead" where people honor their dead relatives, saints, and anyone else of importance.

Kommentar von 422555

The Day of the Dead is on the 1st of November, as noticed on the ingame calender.

Kommentar von Miwna

Where no one can name what "Dead Man's Party" is a reference to, the Day of the Dead makes me think of George A. Romero.

Kommentar von rzzr

Definately refers to the "Day of the Dead" in Mexico as the quest is to dance with Catrina. This refers to La Calavera Catrina. More about this can be read on Wiki.

Kommentar von Amante

It IS an intentional Oingo Boingo reference (in addition to the holiday), though. A similar reference exists in Tirisfal Glades, where undead NPCs named similar to the bandmembers are hanging around having . . . a dead man's party.

Kommentar von 250211

Anyone actually know where Catrina is?

Kommentar von DrMrsTheMonarch

This is obviously a very direct reference to La Calavera Catrina originally an etching by Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. This is a common basis for Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) decoration and ceremonies.

Anyone who took Spanish in high school might also be reminded of the educational series La Catrina, in which there is one memorably comical scene where there is a dancing skeleton marionette.

Kommentar von Beansmoke

Here's the thing, though: Oingo Boingo celebrated Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) every year, holding their biggest concerts every year during the festival, even when they weren't touring at the time. They held their final concert during the Dia de los Muertos festival, and the promotional material and merchandise from that concert use Dia de los Muertos imagery and say Dia de los Muertos on them.

So it's not like the connection between their song "Dead Man's Party" and the holiday is purely coincidental. The idea that Blizzard would pick "Dead Man's Party" for a Day of the Dead holiday achievement and for it to not be a reference to Oingo Boingo's song is harder to believe than that it would be.

Kommentar von 204864

Also, I know some body at Blizzard is a Boingo fan. On your way to Brill from the forsaken starter zone you see all four of the main band (minus the horn section) as forsaken. Makes me smile when ever i see them.

For the Day of the Dead festivities, the people of Azeroth and Outland gather in the graveyards of every major city to cook, eat, drink, don costumes, and more in celebration of those they've lost. Because the spirit world draws closest to the world of the living during this eerie holiday, we decorate the graves of our dearly departed with flowers and candles and offerings to welcome them back, even if only for a short while.

Features

Type: Memorial Holiday
Date: November 1-2
Locations: graveyards of all major cities (Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, The Exodar, Orgrimmar, The Undercity, Silvermoon City, Thunder Bluff, Shattrath City, and Dalaran)

Dance with Catrina
What better way to celebrate the memories of those we've lost than through the ritualistic power of dance -- and all the better during the Day of the Dead holiday, when we're most among their ghostly presence? Dance and revel, and the inhabitants of the spirit world will dance and revel with you, and they will receive your gifts of food and drink and take with them on their eternal journeys the knowledge that they are loved. And, if you approach Catrina in the midst of this merriment, select her, and type /dance in honor of the fallen, you will be granted an achievement and a 12-hour buff, Honor the Dead, which will change your appearance to that of Catrina or Chapman, the graveyard vendor who also appears during this holiday.

The Grateful Dead
Purchase some Orange Marigold or a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds from Chapman and use them to see the otherwise invisible spirit in the graveyard.

" 'It's good to visit with friends and family again, though I may have overdone it... I've already eaten everything they made for me', says the Cheerful Human Spirit. 'Might I trouble you for some of that delicious Bread of the Dead? I'd be most grateful. Chapman there sells the recipe, I think. ' "

Acquire some Bread of the Dead and give it to the Cheerful Spirit.

Your reward is a Macabre Marionette, a sombrero-wearing, maraca-wielding skeleton companion pet. This pet can only be used during the Day of the Dead event; it cannot be learned and kept like other companion pets.

Kommentar von EnEsCe

To get the Marionette pet (Which you can only use during the Day of the Dead), you must visit the closest graveyard to your race's capital city. For example, Draenei go to Exodar. You must bring 1x for the turn in.

Kommentar von McDuffie

Seeing from the pictures it will be GYs near major Cities or just any GY for that matter. There are dead people at most GYs right? Why else would it be a grave, aside from pets of course.

Kommentar von 192262

The Marionette pet is only temporary, and it can be obtained at the Dalaran Graveyard, where Catrina also happens to be. The graveyard is next to the sewer enterance.

Kommentar von Pixie

Just clarifying the quest. You can only get it from your home faction. I'm a night elf, and I couldn't get the quest at Ironforge or Stormwind graveyards, only Darnassus.

Kommentar von OldWolf

For the day of the dead achievements , go to the graveyard for your home city. There you can dance with Catrina. Also you can buy a thing off the vendor to detect invisibility, which will let you see a quest.

Kommentar von Moonbear

Catrina can be found at the graveyard near capital cities.

To get the the pet Macabre Marionette go to the graveyard at your racial capital, buy the recipe for Bread of the Dead and make one. (only takes 1 simple flour and 1 ice cold milk)
Then buy an Orange Marigold or a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds and use it to see the ghosts at the graveyard.
One of the ghosts will give you a quest that will reward you the pet for the bread.

Kommentar von Famion

Darnassus' graveyard can be found here, Catrina included

Kommentar von dwimbruk

Very easy achievement - go to any graveyard attached to a major city, click on Catrina then type /dance. Only snag - you can only do it on the 1st November.

If you want a Macabre Marionette you'll have to go to the graveyard of your home city (e.g. I'm a dwarf so i had to go to Ironforge). Find the guy called Chapman and buy a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds and Recipe: Bread of the Dead. You'll also need a Simple Flour and an Ice Cold Milk to make the recipe. (Buy these from anyone selling Cooking Supplies.) You can only cook it on a Ghostly Cooking Fire which you'll find in the graveyards. Use the Marigolds to see the Cheerful Spirit who'll have a quest 'The Grateful Dead' - give him some Bread of the Dead to get your Marionette.

NB: The Ironforge Graveyard is just round the corner from the entrance - Catrina is at 54.0, 38.6 in Dun Morogh.

Kommentar von 465890

This is a 2 day festival, nov 1st and second

I am a NE and got the Achievement outside IF. I went to GY below Lageran first, she was not there.

Exit IF gates, this is where the duelling takes place on 98% of servers, go left, slightly up a hill.

Dance with Catrina. Get achieve.

While you are at it spend some coin on lanterns, flowers, mask, learn the recepie, you'll need it if you want to do the Q and get the minipet.

After my trip to IF, I treked to Darny, looked up some ghosts, got the Q, gave bread(from the DotD recepie sold by vendor close by Catrina) and got the 2-two-day minipet. Really cool mini skelli with sombrero and 'shakers'. For the love of Elune, I cannot remember what they are called :)

Go to city of your faction for the Q and 2 day minipet, achieve at most citys GY's

Edit for poor spelling

Kommentar von Erador

Catrina Location:

She is located in graveyards outside of every major city, both Horde and Alliance!
She will be standing there in the form of an undead, dancing.
To get the achievement, simply do /dance on her!
You will also get a nice 12 hour buff named "Honor the Dead" which is simply you honoring the dead!

Quest:

If you use either a Bouquet of Orange Marigolds or an Orange Marigold (bought from the vendor there) you will be able to see a bunch of spirits. One of them is a quest giver and will give you a quest named "The Grateful Dead". Long story short, they want you to give them some Bread of the Dead. When you complete the quest you will be awarded with either exp or money depending on your level and a Macabre Marionette which is some kind of pet which requires the Day of the Dead. This probably means that it's not usable after the Day of the Dead.

Vendor:

There will also be another NPC named Chapman who is the <Day of the Dead Vendor> standing there selling the items:

Candy Skull

Requires Day of the Dead
Use: Restores 61 health over 18 secs. Must remain seated while eating.

Orange Marigold

Requires Day of the Dead
Detect lesser invisibility for 30 sec. Only works during the Day of the Dead. (30 sec cooldown)
"Said to attract spirits and help one communicate with the departed on the Day of the Dead."

Spirit Candle

Requires Day of the Dead
Place a Spirit Candle that increases the spirits of those nearby by 4. (5 min cooldown)

Recipe: Bread of the Dead

Bread of the Dead:

Requires day of the dead
Use: Restores 2 % of your health per second for 24 sec. Must remain seated while eating. If you spend at least 10 seconds eating you will become well fed and gain stamina and spirit for 15 min.
Requires Simple Flour, Ice Cold Milk

"Said to attract spirits and help one communicate with the departed on the Day of the Dead."

Ugghhh, and nothing of that is wrong since I personally wrote it in detail straight off of the vendor himself in-game! That took some time! xD

Kommentar von Shanody

For the ones searching for it: the Exodar grave yard is actually the grave yard at Azure Watch. ;)

Kommentar von 364288

Catrina may be found at the following locations:

In Dalaran, east of the Violet Citadel in front of the big tree (35,39)
In Terokkar Forest, just east of Shattrath City (40,22)
<H> Inside the Ruins of Lordaeron.
<H> Outside Silvermoon (just east of the Ruins at 47,49)
<H> Outside of Thunder Bluff, on the ground north of the city, at the base of the northern lift from the middle rise (57,18)
<H> In Durotar, south of Orgrimmar at 47,17
(Can an Alliance please reply to this post with the proper Alliance locations?)

Just walk up to Catrina at any of these locations and /dance!

Note: For those wanting to do The Grateful Dead, you'll need to bake some Bread of the Dead. You can buy the recipe from Chapman (standing next to Catrina). Baking the bread requires the special Ghostly Cooking Fire located next to Catrina, so be sure to bring some Milk and Flour -- it'll save you a trip.

For those going for Chef de Cuisine (or the sub-achievements) note that the Bread of the Dead recipe counts.

The Grateful Dead may be performed in Dalaran, in Shattrath, or at the graveyard of your race's capitol (Orgrimmar for Trolls). (This quest can only be completed one time at one of these locations!) This quest requires 1 Bread of the Dead and yields experience (21,150 at level 76) and a Macabre Marionette. In order to see the quest giver you must purchase an Orange Marigold from Chapman and use it while standing beside him and Catrina.

Note: You can lose the Marigold, Bread of the Dead, Macabre Marionette, and any other items specific to Day of the Dead by simply using your hearthstone or a portal. (Note that this is not consistent - I ported from Dal to Shat with everything intact, but the port from Shat to TB caused me to lose everything.) This may be a bug, may be intentional, but it has been verified by numerous people at this point so just be aware.

Kommentar von strummer95

In the courtyard before you enter Undercity, same spot where the brewfest and firefestival stuff was at for UC...she gives u a cool 12 hour buff/costume

Kommentar von 434270

Coords for Darnassus Graveyard are definitely 77, 26 with some give and take. To get the ice cold milk go to the vendor in the inn and for the simple flour go to the man who sells cooking supplies :D The marionette is easy to get just buy the flowers to see the guy. IDK if the guy appears in the same spot everytime or whatnot but I know for me he appeared on the left side of the graveyard... >.> May help save time since if I am not mistaken the marigold thing does not last long (30 seconds but can be repeated if weren't fast enough with the same/original bouquet! BTW Bouquet can be sold back for 25silver)... Also for those worrying about cost ice cold milk was 1 silver 5 copper, the marigolds were 1 gold and the flour was 21 copper (or something really really minimal) Hope someone finds this useful! Love my marionette :P

Kommentar von Luckystar

Unfortunately, the 12 hours buff gets canceled if you fly off from Dalaran.

Not if you use the flightmaster, not if you use the portal to another city, not if you use a mage portal. None of the above will cancel it. It gets however canceled if you use your own flying mount to fly away from Krasus' Landing. You can of course go back and dance again to get the buff back, but it's still annoying. Probably a bug.

You can fly to the nearest flight point and then use your flying mount, you will keep the buff. Upon entering dalaran area tho (Crystalsong Forest) on your own flying mount, the buff will get canceled again.

Kommentar von Luckystar

I did the quest fine in dalaran and I am draenei. You can do it in Dalaran regarding of your race, don't need to go to your specific capital city.

Kommentar von 54426

The SMC graveyard is just east of the southern entrance to Falconwing Square. Run out of Silvermoon and follow the wall across the dead scar, and Catrina is at 48.50 in Eversong Woods.
The UC graveyard is in the Ruins of Lordaeron across from the SMC teleportation orb, and Catrina is at 68.12 in UC.
The TB graveyard is at the base of the elevators leading off from the middle bluff, Catrina is at 56.18 in TB.
The Org graveyard is on the left side of the road from Org leading to Razor Hill, Catrina is at 47.18 in Durotar.

This achievement can be done at any graveyard, but you need to go to your race's home city graveyard to do The Grateful Dead quest; if you are a Blood Elf you must go to Silvermoon City, Orcs and Trolls to Orgrimmar, Undead to Undercity, and Tauren to Thunder Bluff. However, you can get the items from the Chapman at any GY. Once you have the bread and one of the marigold flowers, talk to the Cheerful (Your Race Here) Spirit who is standing next to its portrait to do the quest and receive Macabre Marionette.

Kommentar von Aisenfaire

Fastest way if you have access to Dalaran:

1) Buy Simple Flour and Ice Cold Milk. (Flour can be bought in Dalaran, milk can't.)
2) Find a Cooking Trainer and learn cooking level 1.
3) Go find Catrina in Dalaran in the grass patch to the right side of the Violet Citadel. Coords:
4) Target Catrina and do /dance to get the achievement.
5) Buy a Marigold/ Bouquet of Marigolds and Recipe: Bread of the Dead from Chapman, the vendor beside her.
6) Cook some Bread of the Dead (you only need 1).
7) Use the Marigold. You should now see spirits around you, one of them with a quest.
8) Take the quest, turn in the Bread of the Dead, receive your pet.
9) (Optional) Give any leftover Bread of the Dead to the new arrivals at the graveyard and make new friends.

If you don't have access to Dalaran, follow the above instructions for your home city.

Guide here.

To find the graveyard for your home city, check out this list of spirit healer locations.

*Warning: Bread of the Dead is currently bugged--if you mail it, whoever is on the receiving end may get disconnected when taking it out.

Kommentar von Rawveggie

Why isn't the vendor or the items he sells listed on wowhead? Is everyone so busy with 3.3 patch that world events get lost in the shuffle? Sad really.

For those of you like me that don't have the locations of all the starting graveyards memorized, here is the list:

Horde

Silvermoon (Blood Elf): 48,49 in Eversong Woods - West side of the dead scar near the city wall.
Undercity (Undead): Just inside the Ruins of Lordaeron in the courtyard. Definitely the easiest to find.
Orgrimmar (Orc, Troll): 47,17 in Durotar - East side of the road as you head south out of the gates of Orgrimmar.
Thunder Bluff (Tauren): 56, 18 in "Thunder Bluff" zone or 41,19 in "Mulgore" zone - just north of the North Great Lift in Thunder Bluff.

Alliance

Darnassus (Night Elf): 77,25 in Darnassus - Head East on the road and just past the Warrior's Terrace it is on your left.
Stormwind (Humans): 39,59 in Elwynn Forest - Just follow the road out of Stormwind South and it is on the West side before Goldshire.
Exodar (Draenei): 47,56 in Azuremyst Isle - Take the road East out of the Exodar and it is on the right as you reach Azure Watch.
Ironforge (Dwarf, Gnome): 54,39 in Dun Morough- Upon exiting the Gates of Ironforge turn left and follow the road around the side of the mountain.

If there are any mistakes please let me know.

Kommentar von zapr

For all the lowbie Draenei, Exodar GY is next to Azure Watch.

Kommentar von Lassy

If you are undead and wish to replicate her costume, for whatever reason, the sombrero can be gotten from Don Carlos in Old Hillsbrad.

I'm trying to figure out if the dress she's wearing can be gotten from anywhere else.

Kommentar von 459642

Just adding to what Moonbear said...

to get that companion ya need cooking, The recipe Requires lvl 1 cooking so if you dont have cooking just train for it and you can get this companion! :)

Kommentar von 281938

The Macabre Marionette doesn't count towards Lil' Game Hunter

Kommentar von cndd1

Note that the bread is bugged.. if you try to mail it to another character, that person will disconnect when trying to take it from the mail. Also the marionette puppet disappears from your inventory if you log out.

Kommentar von Mhmbrains

Undead form persists through death.

Kommentar von drdoom5081

I would like to note that the Macabre Marionette is not a pet. You cannot summon it from your Companion tab, nor does it count for any achievements.

Kommentar von Eruionmel

It seems that you can get the quest only from a spirit of your own race, so you would have to go to the graveyard of the major city that you belong to.

This is mostly true. The quest can also be received from the spirits in Dalaran; however, there aren't any vendors in Dalaran that sell Ice Cold Milk, so you may end up needing to go to a capital city anyway. (I personally mailed some with my bank alt.)

Kommentar von MilknessDalvengy

Note: Like the Pirate's Day buff, this has a tendancy to randomly disappear.

Kommentar von 236322

hopefully it's just a bug and the day of the dead pet will go into you're collection pet bag i want to keep him but i am rembering why i hated noncombat pets pre patch...

Kommentar von 480808

For those of you who didn't realize (like me) if you are undead the Undercity cemetary they refer to is in the Ruins of Lordaeron, not Brill like I originally thought. Catrina is dancing on the left as you come in to the cemetary. Hope this saves some people from wandering Brill needlessly.

Kommentar von 414370

Brings me back to my high school Spanish 3 class, where we watched: La Catrina- El Ultimo Secreto. Good times. Me llamo JAIME!

Kommentar von Blackboy0

Not very many times does one in their lifetime actually take time to honour and celebrate the dead in their adventures. We are found celebrating harvest and love, but not very often do we do what Catrina has been doing the past 2 days: Cherishing and honouring those who have passed on, allowing them to eat, drink, smile, and dance among those who love them.

The pure emotion shown by Catrina to actually celebrate and dance with those who have died but rise again, even though it's only for several days? It speaks the world to me.

Know that you are not alone in your honouring of the past, Catrina!

Kommentar von 632552

You would have to be silly to dismiss this as having some reference to Oingo Boingo (Who were largely influenced by The day of the dead and all sorts of the macabre mysticisms surrounding death, etc)...
Remember, we've had Daniel Ulfmann and 3 other key members of the band for some time now having their own Dead Man's Party in Deathknell for some time. I'm still chasing the Deadman's cleaver... 4 years after I started :P

Color me a music geek but this is personally one of my favorite easter eggs in the game so far next to all the references to classic Nintendo stuff in Un'goro crater...

Kommentar von wye43

The day of the dead is an event that is present in many countries, in many cultures.

Kommentar von 437735

Apparently if you have done the The Grateful Dead in the past, the quest is not offered to you now and, thus, you can not get the Macabre Marionette. =(

Kommentar von Stil

The pet is only usable for the duration of the Day of the Dead. Sadly it's isn't permanent =(

Kommentar von Thirsom

The Catrina from the graveyard between Stormwind and Goldshire has been moved to the Stormwind Cemetery - that's the place behind the lake in the city's north-west -, close to the crypt.

Kommentar von qoorth

Alliance: NPC you need for this achievement moved from Elwynn to Stormwind Graveyard, just behind the cathedral.

Kommentar von madness42

As of 11/01/2011 Catrina is located in the Graveyard of Stormwind, right next to the park.

The one in UC is right in the entrance of the building and is above ground

Kommentar von Louloudaki

Orgrimmar graveyard is located at /way 47.34 17.72 (for those that dont have coordinates, When you go out of orgrimmar towards Durotar as you go strate ahead you will see the graveyard on your left)

Undercity graveyard is located at /way 67.86 11.20 (for that dont have coordinates, its at the upper part of the city right in the middle when the world events are located)

Silvermoon city graveyard is located at /way 47.84 49.80 (for that dont have coordinates, go to the flight path and from there walk towards the dead scar pass it and you will see it on your right hand)

Kommentar von 123852

Not sure if this has been posted yet...but if you are Alliance ( no matter which race) you have access to Catrina and can get the achievement in Stormwind. Same applies for any Horde race in Durotar.

Kommentar von 905058

For those who want to go for Iron Chef Eiserner Chefkoch (200 recipes) grab this one Rezept: Totenspeise while you can. There is VERY little leeway in missing any recipe in the game right now in order to get to 200.

Kommentar von slagathor

In Stormwind there is a path behind the Cathedral that goes along the lake. Follow the main path until you reach the Columns and steps at the end of the path. Catrina is standing at the steps in front of the columns on your right.

Kommentar von Dolnarian

Since the revamp if Sw the new location of Catrina is In the new GY inside the city. North of Cathedral Square

Kommentar von zaheer12a

Catrina can be found in Stormwind at the Stormwind City Cemetery (co-ordinates 47,26). If you follow the path behind the Cathedral you will eventually run into her if you use /target Catrina.

You can also get a cooking recipe from the vendor (Chapman) next to her. It can only be used during the Day of the Dead and it will disappear afterwards if you didn't use it.

If you buy one of the flowers from the vendor and use it you can pick up a quest (Die dankbaren Toten) from a spirit. It will reward a one-day vanity pet (Makabre Marionette).

47, 26 in SW

Kommentar von Kyrma

For the 2 new Cata races:

* Goblins need to go the the graveyard in Orgrimmar

When you dance with her, you will turn into a undead with a sombrero.

And it is just one of those buffs that Feral Druids cant enjoy.

Kommentar von Heteroscodra

What I did (as Alliance):

- Went to Catrina (47 26 in Stormwind), did /dance with her
- Got the cooking recipe and Bouquet of Orange Marigolds from the vendor next to her
- Bought Simple Flour and Ice Cold Milk
- Went back to Catrina (Ghostly cooking fires are right behind her)
- Off to Dalaran!
- The Cheerful Dalaran Spirit (34 38) can only be seen with the bouquet buff
- Get you companion :)
