UPDATE: Da wir keine weiteren Meldungen zu diesem Problem erhalten haben, gehen wir davon aus, dass es tatsächlich gefixt ist. Wir danken für eure Geduld und euer Verständnis, während wir nach der Ursache für den Fehler gesucht haben!

UPDATE 11/11/2014: Dieses Problem sollte mittlerweile gelöst sein. Lasst uns wissen, falls ihr wider Erwarten noch immer Schwierigkeiten haben solltet! :)

Unsere Entwickler untersuchen gegenwärtig ein Problem mit dieser Quest. Wie es scheint, töten die Wachen den NPC Unmaskierter Samuelson instant, was es für Spieler unmöglich macht, sich für den Abschluss der Quest zu qualifizieren. Wir bitten um Geduld!

I am on this step right now. The king refuses to appear which makes it impossible to complete.

Kommentar von 415054

Perhaps a reference to the old Onyxia key quest event.

Kommentar von 5456

The amount of quests that lack agi items for rewards is disgusting.
Honestly, what the ^&*! Blizzard?

Kommentar von Bnecse

Samuelson is an elite ...anyway is easy to kill him,the guards will help you.

Kommentar von Owen

After you complete this quest, the Evidence Against Samuelson does not disappear from your inventory. You can get rid of it.

Kommentar von Soldier45

So the prince is a priest then.

Kommentar von Gamerguy

I like how the King calmly stands and watches.

Seriously. I'm pretty sure he could two-shot the guy.

Kommentar von 293799

Rogues - two pieces of leather, both with INT? Yeah, it's been that way for pretty much every quest I've seen in Cat.

Take the shield (mo' money).

Kommentar von wowheadizmydaddy

Somewhat interesting plot line to the quest series, but the rewards are unevenly distributed for the classes, and that is sad given that they are lvl 333 rewards. Not done well by Blizz.

Kommentar von 768786

similar to that woman from house of prestor whos really onyxia or something quest. No original quests eh Blizz.

Highlight was Jack Bauden (Bauer)

Kommentar von Kynkii

/sigh. No luv for rogues. D:

Kommentar von Kaileybird

In the World of Warcraft book "The Shattering" by Christie Golden, it explains Anduin's call to be a priest in the aftermath of an attack by Deathwing. :)

Kommentar von marmcg

This is for anyone that is as easily confused as I am. I couldn't complete the quest since the question mark over the king's head was grey. Talk to Major Samuelson. He is a guard to the king's left.

Kommentar von 770804

i like how he says he has power beyond mortal kings but he cannot hit through a lvl 5 power word: shield and has no where near the 104 million health the king has :P

Kommentar von lionsofmercy

If you failed to grab this --distracted by the Bishop's respawn maybe :) -- it will still be there at the bomb site. I just went in, ignored the Bishop la la la, and took it--then ran, because he was kind of a pain in the butt the first time.

Note: He pursues you further than average; the first respawn made it to the top of the catacomb stairs.

Kommentar von 873983

He let you handle killing the traitor because he's a king and he once again wants you to prove yourself to him. Varian wants to know that his heroes can fight to save their own lives. Duh!

Kommentar von arrica

He stands to the left in the room, just go over and talk to him.
After you unmask him, he will transform to a gold elite with 322 k, but don't worry the gurads will help you kill him.

Here you have : Video Guide

If you want to see walkthrough of this quest, have a look on youtube on TomcasGames (channel).
I hope it will be useful.
Thanks !

Kommentar von SolarCat

Perhaps quest has a bug since the last patch.
Ttried several times to complete the quest my druid.
After speaking Samuelson turns to red, snatches a dagger and jumped on the king. Prince cast a shield on his father, and the guards attack major.
A few seconds later, Major disappears, and a bil laters respawn at his original position.
After some attempt im can killing Samuelson before he disappeared and quest passed.

Kommentar von Zerocipher

Tried to do this quest today on my priest alt. It gets to the point where samuelson attacks the King and then the level 90 guards attack and he despawns. Very frustrating.

Kommentar von 1027256

Yes, slaying Samuelson is harder after the patch ( NPC are lvl 90 ). You need to damage more than that level 90 guards !

Kommentar von 1032158

After the new patch was installed, this quest changed. You need to pull out ALL stops on him. Kill him as quickly as possible or you won't get credit. He does have a fairly fast spawn time.

Kommentar von Alliekatt

I had tried burning the not-so-fine major down for about three days. Nothing worked.

It is definitely either buggy, or glitchy to say the least.

I finally was able to kill him, surprisingly easily, after yet another method. LoL

I talked to the prince... Again. So now there are two princes. One following me around (not whispering anything to me as he did so during the beginning of the quest line), and one standing uselessly at his father's side. I say useless because in the 35-40 some attempts the last few days to kill Samuelson, he never once cast PW:Shield... Although it sure kept saying he did. LoL

The following is a link to my report, pointless as it seemed to be:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6607193038?page=1#0

All is good now - hopefully anyone else having trouble will find this helpful.

Cheers!

For those of you who kill Samuelson before her gets to the floor, the quest doesn't update with him dying correctly. If you do what I do and abandon it, don't worry, just go back to the cathedral, go to where the bombs are and get the quest again. I nearly freaked out when I thought I wasn't going to be able to finish the quest and have to make the long flight to Twilight Highlands.

Kommentar von kirzan

As of Patch 5.1, I wasn't getting credit for killing him. At first I thought it was because the (now 90) guards completely rape him. Turns out you have to wait until he turns into an evil squid before attacking him.

There's a split second where you can attack him while he's "trying to murder the king". He really just stands there for a few seconds. Don't attack him yet.

Kommentar von Calentor

This NPC isn't phased i.e. even when you have killed him, he will remain visible to you when you visit Stormwind Keep in the future.

This confused me as I was sure that I had completed this quest some months ago, but when I clicked on him, Samuelson said 'Back so soon Calentor, did you learn anything from the dockworkers?' and he still had the ! mark in his NPC name tag.

I lodged a ticket about it and the GM advised " I checked your quest log and I do see that you have completed the quest, so you can just ignore him. He resets so other players can go up and complete the quest. I do apologize for any confusion and wish you the best of luck on your adventures!"

Kommentar von Ixui

Just did this quest. Was distracted by a text message, so thee guards rushed him before I could react. Despite landing no hits on Samulson, I gained credit for the quest when he died.

Kommentar von MABGamer6407

Unlike his Horde counterpart, he does't Phase out of game once killed. I see him all the time when visiting the chamber. And helped even slay him when someone activates the the Quest when I already completed Twilight Highlands.

Kommentar von Lenithius

So for saving Varian's life, AND the rest of the kingdom, all I get is 18g and armor that I'll just sell to vendors? Gah.

Kommentar von cephadex

I'm sad. After this quest was over, little Anduin was still following me like I was his big sister, and I was going to teach him many wonderful things like how to dance or how to play the guitar. Then a dungeon queue popped up, and after I came back, he wasn't following me anymore and was no longer present in Stormwind Keep :(

Kommentar von Glenmor

As of patch 6.0.2, the guards in the throne room are level 100, making this even more difficult (if not impossible, I have not yet succeeded).

Edit: Managed to get the kill. Had to pop a bunch of stuff at just the right time (right as he transformed). Very tricky though.

Kommentar von disastergeek

I'm doing this on my lvl 85 rogue and popping everything I have and still can't get credit for the kill. The dude has gone down about a dozen times (half of the kills were from the guards before he even turned) and nothing.

Kommentar von Marilana

Literally impossible as a Mage to get the kill credit from the level 100 Stormwind Royal Guards as of patch 6.0.2

Don't waste your time, stay in Uldum or level somewhere else until 85.

Kommentar von BlizzardCS

UPDATE: We didn't get any further report, so it seems like the issue is indeed totally fixed. Thanks all for your patience and understanding while we were working on it.

UPDATE 11/11/2014: This issue should be fixed by now. Please, if you are still experiencing this issue let us know so we can look into it. :)

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that our development team is investigating an issue with this quest. The guards are instantly killing Unmaskierter Samuelson, making it impossible for players to get objective credit for the quest. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this and hope to have it fixed as soon as it’s possible.

Kommentar von Maliculous

A of 6.0.2 this quest is bugged. The guards in the throne room are all level 100 and they kill Major Samuelson too fast so you don't get credit for it.

Kommentar von Atno

This just got harder. As of pre-expansion Patch 6.0.2 the guards are now level 100 and kill Samuelson before you can. My wife is trying to do this and he's dead before she can get a shot in. She has a game ticket open on it.

Kommentar von silphax

I managed to do this during the current patch because I was able to incapacitate him during his shadowy transformation, doing so as a monk. I waited and eventually a death knight showed up and the guards stopped attacking him to throw tomatoes and stuff. Eventually, the incapacitate ran out and he transformed without the guards attacking him, allowing me to kill him. I hope this helps somewhat.

Kommentar von 968833

This is impossible to do especially if you are a paladin at the moment and i wish blizz will fix this problem soon.

EDIT**** OK they have now fixed this where Samuelson has way more health, is elite and fears the guards away so you can easily get the kill for the credit.

GJ to blizz for fixing this.

Kommentar von Cornata

I tried this quest yesterday, no success. Saw the updated blue post today, was able to get credit for killing Samuelson after he turned into his Faceless/squiddy form. Thanks BlizzCS!

Kommentar von semvdwal

I was able to complete this quest by using Gouge on my rogue to stop guards from attacking Samuelson. If you don't stun him or otherwise make sure that the guards don't see him as a thread, he will die before he transform, which fails the quest.
When stunning him he will transform after a few seconds, then the 'real' battle starts.
I had no issue with overpowered guards using a lvl 85 rogue.

Also, the rewards could certainly be more balanced ...

Kommentar von Zornar

I managed to do the quest as paladin. I stood in the middle of the room, and taunted samuel, guards did not respond fast enough and I was able to complete the quest.

Kommentar von hoburn

After reading the latest comments here I finally managed to get credit. I'm doing this on an alt who's a balance druid. After 'bout the sixth time I came here and read the comments. I went into bear form, confronted Samuelson then when he became attackable next to the king, I put growl on him and the guards paused long enough for him to run to the middle of the room and transform, from there I mowed him down and got credit.

Kommentar von Smudgerdane

This can still be done in Patch 6 onwards with guards at 100. I simply took all my gear off, then hit him. The guards didn't agro straight away as they were doing when I was clothed and armed. He turned into a squid and I was able to carry on attacking him and killed him.

Kommentar von Lorewalker

Just tried to do this and the lvl 100 guards killed him about 6 times until I succeeded on the 7th try. Good luck to you all.

Kommentar von SeabeastRivin

This appears to have been fixed as of 6.2. The guards all attacked him but did almost no damage, so the event was able to continue normally.

Kommentar von Zugetz

As a lvl 84 feral druid, I was able to kill him after about 5-6 tries. At first, the guards just take him down before I had a chance to do anything. Then I tried casting Cyclone on him. That raised him into the air and made him invulnerable long enough for him to change to the squid. Then I killed him (with the help of the guards).

Kommentar von Vadra

If you're struggling as a rogue simply lay a smoke bomb down on him when he attacks the king and the guards will be unable to target him!

Hope this helps.

Kommentar von zagoskin2

As of patch 6.2.3 I was having trouble to killing him. I play in a Normal Server (no pvp) and you MUST have PVP Enabled in order to be able to attack him. Quite annoying!

Kommentar von P4P4L4RG3

Just like to add to this quest info, if u can not complete this without using AOE, Activate PVP, this will allow u to attack him, before the gaurds kill him.

Kommentar von Aisenfaire

Issue: All the level 100 elite guards immediately rush over and kill level 84 Samuelson as soon as he becomes attackable. The problem is, you need to wait for him to turn into a giant squid first before killing him in order to complete the quest.

Solution: Lay down any form of crowd control you have on Samuelson. As a rogue, I threw a blind on him and it paused the guards long enough for Samuelson to become immune to damage again (despite stupid guards' renewed attacking frenzy) and he turned into a squid when it wore off.

Kommentar von camster

I was having issues today on a PVE server. I had to flag myself for PVP before I could attack him however.

Just a note to add to the others here, it is difficult to damage him before the guards kill him. The reset period is not long.

I did have to attack him before the guards killed him, to get the squid portion to start.

Kommentar von Spiritwalker1427

As of Patch 6.2:

If you play on a PvE server and are having difficulty killing Samuelson (as in, are completely unable to attack him, forced to stand there & watch as lvl 100 guards utterly destroy him), enable PvP. You will be able to attack him BEFORE he is killed by guards or morphs. Actually, he no longer gets the chance to morph, he is just completely owned by the guards, tbh, but you will get credit for the kill. :)

Kommentar von ShadowAndFlame68

Today, on my lvl 85 Feral, I waited til he turned into the squid, the guards hadn't killed him yet and I finished him off. Then nothing. I thought I'd try abandoning and trying again...and I can't get it again it seems. :(

Kommentar von Arganonbob

Be careful not to agro Crithto while fighting Samuelson. It sucks.

Kommentar von Adomsin

As of Legion, this questline will no longer be available. Speaking to Anduin will have you sent straight to Flintlocke to board his plane to the Twilight Highlands.

Kind of sucks, honestly. I always looked forward to doing this intro on new characters. :<

Kommentar von Shantey

Just thought I would pass on my experience and hopefully it helps some. After Samuelson getting raped repeatedly right as he jumps in front of the king by the lvl 100 guards......

logged out and back in and it worked fine........ he then turned into the squid as needed.

Kommentar von smither06

Noticed a lot of complaints with the guards killing Samuelson before he turns into a squid-like creature. I just finished this quest line a few minutes ago, it took me 4 times to get Samuelson to turn into the creature. The last time of why I think it was successful, because I read the "evidence" in my inventory before I talked to Samuelson.

I think that was the deciding factor. Hope that helps someone else.

Kommentar von KingLich1

As a death knight, I used my death grip and pulled him to the middle of the room, nobody seem to be attacking. then he transformed and dispatched him quickly, so try to pull him to the middle of the room the fastest way you can find.

Kommentar von AddictedPoi

As a hunter I've placed a fire trap just before the king and tagged the target when Samuelson stepped on it. The guards did the rest. So it is possible to get the quest credit before Samuelson turns into a squid.
