Das notwendigste zusammengefasst (Der Miniguide wurde zu Pandariazeiten erstellt und mag evtl nicht mehr aktuell sein.):

1.

Farmt ein wenig Equip. Ich bin den Endboss erst (richtig) mit ilvl 538 angegangen (ich erfuhr erst recht spät von der Quest, da mein Hexer nur ein Twink ist). Je mehr Schaden ihr fahrt, desto besser heilt ihr euch. Je mehr ihr krittet, desto schneller sammelt ihr "Funken". Ausserdem reduziert sich die Anzahl der Addwellen. Schaffbar ist er wohl auch mit ilvl 500, aber es dauert um einiges länger und die Fehlertoleranz liegt natürlich weit niedriger.

2.

Legt euch einen "Zerstörungs - Spec" zu. Dieser hat am meisten Burstschaden, der besonders für die Teufelsjägerwelle wichtig ist.

Mein Spec:

A) Seele entziehen - der effektivste Heal als Destro
B) Schattenfuror - hilft enorm bei den Felhuntern
C) Seelenverbindung - der "high voted Typ" aus der englischen Kommentarsektion hat Opferpakt genommen, ich fande konstanten Heal aber besser
D) - der Boss dottet euch die ganze Zeit, dies hilft enorm Schaden zu reduzieren bei zu vielen Dots.
E) Grimoire der Opferung - da ihr die ganze Zeit ein Add übernehmen müsst, könnt ihr kein normales Pet beschwören, nuff said :)
F) - nicht zwingend notwendig, aber am leichtesten zu handlen. Alternativ kann man die beiden anderen Talente wählen. hilft natürlich enorm bei der Wichteladdwelle

Meine Glyphen:

Erhebliche:

A) doppelt so viel Leben wie normal, nuff said. :)
B) - konstant 10% weniger Schaden
C) - Extra Heal

Geringe:

A) - enorm sinnvoll, da man ein paar mal neu übernehmen muss
B) Die Teleportationsglyphe mag hilfreich sein, kann aber auch schaden. Ich habe sie nicht verwendet.
C) Ansonsten gibt es nichts sinnvolles.

3. Vorbereitung:

Ihr stellt Dämonischer Zirkel hinter die erste Säule neben dem Spawnpunkt des Bosses. Ihr müsst euch ausser Sicht porten können, sobald der Boss Chaosblitz wirkt. Gesundheitsstein herstellen, einen Dämon wie Leerwandler beschwören beschwören, Grimoire der Opferung casten und Finstere Absichten buffen.

4. Der Encounter:

Kanrethad Schwarzhaupt beschwört 4 verschiedene Addwellen und hat ansonsten auch viele andere Schadenszauber:

Die wichtigsten Zauber, auf die man achten muss, sind:

1) Fluch der ultimativen Verdammnis - naja, man muss ihn halt in unter 7 Minuten besiegen. :)
2) Chaosblitz - dieser darf euch nicht treffen. Ihr könnt dem Cast entgehen indem ihr hinter eine Säule rennt, um ausser Sicht des Bosses zu kommen. Dazu hilft der vorher aufgestellte Dämonische Zirkel enorm.
3) Kataklysmus hat man bei Zauber 2) noch eine Überlebenschance, ist bei 3) Ende Gelände, wenn man ihn nicht unterbricht. Man kann diesen Spell unterbrechen indem man Sturmangriff von dem übernommenen Grubenlord (das erste Add im Kampf wird versklavt und hat diverse hilfreiche Fähigkeiten; mehr dazu unten im Abschnitt "Phase 1") nutzt.
4) Feuerregen - rauslaufen!
5) Diverse Dots. Diese kann eurer Grubenlord dispellen oder ihr mit

Phase 1:

Der Boss macht erstmal nichts anderes als euch auszulachen und beschwört nach einiger Zeit das erste Add. Bis dahin nehmt ihr ihn erstmal ins Focus Target und macht solange Schaden. Sobald der Grubenlord gespawnt ist, nutzt ihr folgendes Makro:

/tar Grubenlord
/wirken Dämonensklave

Ihr MÜSST hier fix sein, da der Lord euch sonst ancharged und ihr nun den Boss nicht mehr unterbrechen könnt, sobald er Kataklysmus wirkt.

Der versklavte Dämon ist nun euer neues Pet für den ganzen Kampf über. Er hat verschiedene Fähigkeiten, die essentiell sind um den Encounter zu absolvieren:

1) Sturmangriff damit wie oben beschrieben Kataklysmus unterbrechen
2) Dämonischer Siphon Großer Extra Heal neben dem Gesundheitsstein und Funkenwandlung
3) Teufelsflammenatem Stellt euch vor den Dämon, casted es und ihr seid die schädlichen Dots los. Alternativ kann man "Entfesselter Wille" nutzen, falls man zB vor dem Chaosblitz oder den Teufelsjägern flüchten musste.
4) nicht vergessen ihn angreifen zu lassen

Phase 2:

Der Boss beschwört Wichtel, die möglichst fix mit Feuerregen, Feuer und Schwefel und abschliessendem Feuerbrand umhauen. Feuerregen allein reicht aber auch aus.

Phase 3:

Teufelsjäger: Urgs, hier bin ich am meisten gewiped. Das Problem ist, dass diese die Versklavung dispellen und dich der Grubenlord angreift, welcher übel reinhaut. Ausserdem fehlt er für Kataklysmus und man kann den Chaosblitzen sehr schlecht ausweichen. Hier gilt es sich vorher ein paar Funken anzusammeln um möglichst fix die Adds mit Chaosblitzen zu killen. Teilweise bin ich hier hinter den Säulen ausgewichen um dem Boss ausser Sicht zu rennen.

Phase 4:

Es wird ein Verhängnisfürst mit 8 Mio Leben beschworen. Da dies viel zu viel ist um ihn umzuhauen, muss er gebannt werden mit folgendem Makro:

/tar Verh
/wirken Verbannen

Durch mein Equip hatte ich nur einen zu bekämpfen, aber in dem Video aus dem top rated Comment ist zu sehen, dass ein 2. aufgetaucht ist, der dauergefeared werden musste.

Die Phasen (bis auf 1, zumindest bei mir) wiederholen sich dann, bis der Boss besiegt ist.

Anmerkung:

Die Grundtaktik habe ich mir durch den Beitrag hier geholt. Was allerdings nicht (gut) geklappt hat, war den Grubenlord als Tankpet zu nutzen. Ich habe Spalten vom Pet nicht genutzt und den Rest der Spells habe ich mir auch nicht per Makros auf Hotkeys gelegt. Weder Seele brechen noch der Portalkram half zur Aggroreduzierung, aber bis auf die Teufelsjägerphase geriet ich trotzdem eigentlich nie in Bedrängnis.
Meine 110k DPS waren sicherlich nicht das beste, was so möglich wäre, aber die Leute, die ihren Hexer gut spielen können, werden diesen Guide wohl sowieso nicht brauchen. :)
Man bleibt trotz eines Ablebens erstmal durch den Grubenlord im Kampf, wenn man einen Seelenstein genutzt hat. Das hilft einem natürlich nichts, wenn die Felhunter dispellen. :)

Optimierung:

Man kann sich Makros für die Pet Spells schreiben und diese auf Keybinds legen. Somit lässt sich zB der Kataklysmus gut unterbrechen und mehr Dmg ist drin am Boss indem man die restlichen Fähigkeiten sinnvoll und regelmässig nutzt. Weiter kann man mit ein wenig Übung die Killzeit der Addwellen deutlich reduzieren, aber ich habe mein Augenmerk eher darauf gelegt den Grubenlord schnellst möglich wieder zu übernehmen un Kataklysmus und Chaosblitz auszuweichen. So haben die Adds wohl 10 bis 15 Sekunden mehr als nötig gelebt.

Go up to the main gates, not the entrance to the raid - that's the sewers.

You're put into a single-player Scenario here. It's actually rather challenging.

Kommentar von Droz45

After following Akama to the hallway where the Hungering Soul Fragments are. Summon your Eye of Kilrogg before heading down the hallway. You will see all the traps and the path through will be revealed.

Edit: By the way. Be VERY careful as your pet & Eye of Kilrogg can trip the traps.

Decided to write this little guide up to help out anyone who is struggling with the last boss.

After attempting it about 20 times as affliction and 20 times as demo, it was pretty obviously this was meant to be done as destro. I think after that many attempts with other specs, it was pretty simple as destruction.

For starters, my ilvl was 513. I'm not saying you can't do it with less, but that's what I did it with and I found it pretty well tuned for the ilvl. That being said I dont see why a 500 ilvl probably couldnt do it if executed perfectly.

For my talents I used:
Soul Leech
Shadowfury
Sacrificial Pact
Unbound Will
Grim of Sac
KJC

Not much to say to start off with. I used flask and 200 mastery food because I was too lazy for 300 food. Before the pull I would sac the VW and place my demonic gateway from the grate to out of LoS of Kanrethad. If you're looking at his portal, I did it to the left pillar against the wall. This is for "oh sh*t" situations, mainly the felhound phase.

Obviously dps him as much as possible right when he becomes active. I would put up CoE and then immediately DS and pop as much into him as I could before the pit lord spawned. I usually got him around 92% before the pit lord spawned if you want a benchmark. Once the pit lord spawned, stun him with shadowfury and then enslave him and put him on the boss. Only use the stun for cataclysm, nothing else. Use the breath occasionally to wipe off the dots on you and use the pit lord heal as much as possible. I would spam the thing even if I was at 80% health. Obviously stay out of his rain of fire as well.

For Chaos bolts, use Sacrificial Pact. If you're at full health this will completely absorb the Chaos Bolt. I would also try to stay in melee of the boss so that the breath was easier to manage

When the imps started summoning I would send the pit lord over to the portal and cast RoF on the portal as well. Once the first few spawned I would immediate breath them with the pit lord and then FnB spam conflag and incinerate. They went down fairly quickly after the next RoF.

Its important to get them down quickly as another chaos bolt is coming your way soon from Kanrethad. I noticed Sac Pac was coming off CD right before the chaos bolt was going to launch at me. So be ready to spam it. Also make sure you're full health, use the pit lord heal if necessary, or else be ready with Unending Resolve. Kan will also cataclysm shortly after which you need to pet stun. After that keep dps'ing him

The felhound stage is by far the hardest. When he would start heading over to summon them, I would send my pit lord away to the other side of the room and go towards my demonic gateway. When the first felhound spawned I would immediately immolate and conflag him. Then havoc the next felhound and double Chaos bolt them. This would kill the first one immediately before he even reaches you and the second would be around 20% health. Then immediately shadowfury the remaining 2 and fear the pit lord as he's coming back to kill you. After that finish of the 20% felhound with conflag and burn the last one.

The hardest part about this phase is that during all of this chaos, Kanrethad will also cast a Chaos bolt and you dont have a pet to Sacrificial Pact. The way I would get around this...after the havoc/CB on the first 2 felhounds I would take the demonic gateway out of LoS of the boss....kill the felhounds...then take the gateway back to the middle and immediately enslave the pit lord again. Just make sure you set your focus on Kanrethad so you always know when he's done casting his Chaos Bolt.

Its important to enslave the pit lord asap as another cataclysm is coming right up. After the enslave I would immediately use his heal ability on me as well as the breath, and then stun once cataclysm hit.

The doomlord phase you simply banish him and burn the boss.

I managed to kill Kanrethad before the second Felhunter phase, so I had another imp phase to deal with. I think that is best as if you have to deal with a doom lord banish, a pit lord running wild, and 3 felhunters at the same time...you will be in trouble.

Good luck!

During the phase where your demon says you should loot the temple, just follow the trail of gems on the ground (looting them as you go) to the den. You'll get an 8 minute timer, during which you can loot various objects throughout the den. You DO NOT need to reach the end in 8 minutes, you can take as long as you want for that - the timer is just for looting objects. After you reach the end, all the items you looted will be turned into vendorable junk items.

Kommentar von 711516

The last part of this scenario is absoultly ridiculous. The fact that the item to start it is so low a drop rate should be enough to get the green flames. That boss is impossible, i cant get him down past 90% health without missing a cue for a bolt or sumthing. At this rate i shouldve just sold the f**king thing

Kommentar von Esinar

Kanrethad Ebonlocke - All you need to know and more!
A lot of people are having trouble with this encounter so I decided to write a detailed guide based on my personal experience. I defeated this guy and obtained my green fire late last night after approximately 4 hours of trial, error and execution. I hope the following will help those who are stuck on this encounter.

My video of the kill:
Use as a reference source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPR4p2_X6g&feature=youtu.be

Overview:
Kanrethad is the final part of the warlock-only green fire quest and is located in the warlock-only Black Temple scenario. This final 'boss' has approximately 31.4M health and will not only test your dps, but take you to the limit of your abilities in awareness, control and ultimately, your execution. Let me just say that this fight isn't for those who expect to be spoon-fed content. At my current item level anyway (499), this fight was exceptionally challenging but thoroughly enjoyable.

Basics of the fight:
This boss is a single-phase multi-add encounter. As well as having his own set of abilities taken from all three warlock specs, the waves of adds he summons also have their own abilities and everything must be taken into consideration.

Kanrethad will emerge from the gateway and will become attackable but inactive after 20 seconds. He will summon his first add wave 15 seconds later and will become active after this. The fight consists of a Kanrethad using his own abilities combined with waves of adds which he summons himself in a constant but fixed order. The order of adds summoned are as follows:

1) 1x Pit Lord
2) 60x Wild Imps
3) 3x Felhunters
4) 1x Doomguard
5) 60x Wild Imps
6) 3x Felhunters
7) 1x Doomguard
8) 60x Wild Imps
etc

Kanrethad's abilities:
- Soul Fire - Deals 35k damage. 3 second cast.
- Rain of Fire - Creates an 8 yard radius AoE at a location that deals 375k damage over 10 seconds. Instant Cast.
- Excruciating Agony - Deals increasing damage over time. 2 second cast. Dispellable.
- Seed of Terrible Destruction - Deals 50k over 15 seconds then explodes dealing 30k damage and triggering one of the following three abilities. 2 second cast: 1) Annoying Imp - Summons an Imp which sits on your shoulder for 30 seconds giving advice and criticism and randomly stunning you for 1 second. 2) Void Zone - Creates a void at your feet which pulls you towards its centre dealing damage over time. 3) Backfire - Increases your damage by 25% for 20 seconds.
- Curse of Ultimate Doom - Deals 500M damage after 7 minutes. 2 second cast.
- Chaos Bolt - Deals 450k damage. 6 second cast.
- Cataclysm - Channels cataclysm immolating targets within 100 yards every 1 second for 6 seconds. Immolate deals 25k damage over 15 seconds and is dispellable. After 6 seconds the cataclysm will deal 1M damage to all targets within 100 yards.

Add waves:
- Pit Lord - Attacks with basic melee dealing 35k damage. Also has 4 abilities. A cleave dealing 32k damage to targets, a charge which deals 30k damage and stuns a target for 6 seconds, a frontal cone that deals 100k damage over 6 seconds and a heal which heals all nearby friendly targets for a large amount.
- Wild Imps - Has a basic Fel Firebolt dealing 2k damage. 1.5 second cast time.
- Felhunters - Attacks with basic melee dealing 6k damage. Also occasionally casts Devour Magic dealing 7k damage and dispelling one magic effect from its target.
- Doomguards - Has a basic Doom Bolt dealing 50k damage. 2 second cast time.

Choice of spec, glyphs and talents:
Destruction has a big advantage here over affliction and demonology. Its simplicity and versatility in this fight I feel is key to a victory:
- It has one DoT only to track meaning more focus on the fight.
- It has no debuffs to track meaning more focus on the fight.
- The rotation is fast-paced, very straight-forward and mistakes have little impact.
- Resource tracking is easy meaning more focus on the fight.
- It has very high burst AoE when needed which is essential for the 60 Wild Imps.
- It has very high single target (and duel target) burst when needed which is essential for the 3 Felhunters.
- It has a decent heal when needed which is life-saving in times of peril.

Talents of choice are the following:
- Soul Leech - The fight can have a lot of downtime between damage spikes. Building up that absorb shield is great compared to a situational 2 minute heal or a pointless AoE heal.
- Shadowfury - AoE stun for add waves far surpasses the other two useless abilities here.
- Sacrificial Pact - Its short cooldown and large absorption shield make is the talent of choice compared to the useless Soul Link and the long-cooldown and fairly risky Dark Bargain.
- Unbound Will - Removes ALL DoTs except the Curse of Ultimate Doom which is second-to-none as the ability of choice.
- Grimoire of Sacrifice - Sacrificing Imp gives increased damage along with a constant heal and a self-dispel for the DoTs. Since the basis of the fight also revolves around enslaving the Pit Lord (talked about later) this is the only talent of choice (you keep the buff regardless that you enslaved the Pit Lord).
- Kil'jaeden's Cunning - As the fight consists of a lot of movement, this is the only talent of choice here.

The only glyphs of choice are the following:
- Healthstone - For obvious reasons.
- Dark Soul - Since this ability is saved for Felhunters only (talked about later) it will be off cooldown most of the fight making this glyph beneficial.
- Enslave Demon - For enslaving and re-enslaving the Pit Lord.

Strategy (use my video for reference here):
Due to the character limit of wowhead I couldn't post the whole strategy here, however you can find the strategy on the Battle.net forums here: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6877337992?page=1#0

Kommentar von Ilthana

This is a good guide. I just wanted to add some things.

First, you can use Gateways to make the travel time easier, but if you lay down a Gateway between traps, you have a chance at tripping a few. They aren't bad, but just be warned. you can also lay down raid markers for the path.
Minions don't set off traps, but if you're toon is just a little off, you'll get adds.

Other than that, it's simple and fun until you get to the last boss.

I'm still in the process of finishing that part. Got to the the Fel Hunter stage once, but wasn't prepared. I'll try again after a while.

this is impossible with my ilvl 486

I do not know how they managed to do... /cry

Felflower's Guide to Kanrethad Undergeared

Completed this today with a lock at 492 ilvl after 52 deaths and 825g in repair bills. It may take some time, but upon mastering the mechanics (Chaos Bolt through Demonic Gateway, always removing the Curse of Agony, and preparation for Felhounds) it can be done. Don't forget that if you are undergeared like I was, you'll need to bring a Läuterungstrank to remove the Curse of Doom. If you do not, your Curse of Doom will 1 shot you upon Wave 3 First Imps. It is also important to note that every wave after Wave 3 First Imps will also be imps, and you will not have to deal with any more Felhunters, making it just a repetition of the same mechanics: Chaos Bolt, Cataclysm, Curse of Agony, Imps, and watching your 2 Doomguards).

Spec: Destro is mandatory
Glyphs: Glyph of Enslave Demon is extremely useful
Before the Fight: Set up a Demonic Gateway leading close to a pillar for LoS purposes. Flask at minimum, but when you're experienced with the fight start to use food and prepot. Do not use a potion unless you are able to prepot, as a lock that isn't as geared (such as myself) will need a Läuterungstrank to avoid being killed by the berserk.

Curse of Doom: The first thing he applies to you in the fight, it serves as a berserk timer that will 1 shot you when it goes off, doing about 3 million damage. However, (for now), it can be removed with a Purification potion making this possible to do with less gear. It tends to go off at Wave 3 First Imps, however after that he will only summon imps making the fight drastically easier should you survive that far.

Pit Lord Abilities: Charge: Interrupts Cataclysm, increases his damage taken by 100%, stuns for 6 seconds. I found myself using this when I knew that it would be up again before the next Cataclysm for a damage buff, and on Felhunters to buy time and increase their damage taken. Fel Flame Breath: Removes magic effects if you stand in it, it removes 1 magic effect per tick for a max of 3 ticks per use, also removes the buff he applies to himself increasing his damage done/taken. Demonic Siphon: Heals you for 200k health, I found myself not needing this often but in any time where your health has dropped, use it. It doesn't do you any good when you're dead.

Chaos Bolt: You can either Sacrifical Pact and soak the Chaos Bolt, or you can put a Demonic Gateway behind one of the pillars around the area to LoS him, making his Chaos Bolt fail.

Cataclysm: You have to use your Pit Lord charge to interrupt this effect, or it will 1 shot you. That is all. There is also a small DoT applied to you when he starts casting it, but it's fairly weak. The main time this ability becomes an issue is after avoiding the Chaos Bolt on the Felhunter stage, as you need your demon to interrupt it and they spam Devour Magic to remove your Enslave Demon.

Curse of Agony: I recommend using the breath to remove the first, as it will also remove the seed of corruption if you stand inside of it for the full breath. High damage, must be removed soon after application. Alternatively, it is recommended to have a sacrificed Imp to Sear Magic in order to remove his second application.

Seed of Corruption: An irritant, at best. Can be ignored but it is also dispellable through Pit Lord breath. The effects I noticed were putting an annoying imp that would jabber about your lack of skill, tigers blood, and other pointless things while stunning you randomly in the middle of doing important things. Another effect is putting down a big swirling purple whirlpool that sucks you in and does a lot of damage. If this is applied on top of your Gateway, it will no longer work when you try to click it and you must put up a new one.

How I Dealt with Imps: For the first set I had the advantage of a Soul Leech shield due to popping my cooldowns just before they came up, making their damage very easy to ignore while killing them. Basically, rain of fire, pit lord breath, Fire and Brimstone Conflag/Incinerate however you wish. However, on further stages if needed ember tap is useful for keeping your health up due to unlimited Embers due to Rain of Fire.

How I Dealt with Felhunters: I made sure to have at least 2 embers available, and as soon as the first felhunter came out I would use my Pit Lord Charge to stun him, apply Havok, Conflag to get a fast Chaos Bolt, and Chaos bolt the second Felhunter. After that, I would Shadowburn preventing loss of my Pit Lord if I was able to get all 3, if not the Shadowburn was targetted near enough to the Pit Lord and stunned him too to give me sometime. From there, I would Chaos Bolt the last Felhunter and kill it, quickly re enslaving my pit lord for the Chaos Bolt and Cataclysm following. For round 1 I wouldn't have Dark Soul, but for the second set I would which made it easier. My experience with the 'hide the pit lord' game was that it didn't seem to work very well and took way too much time to do, reducing overall DPS on Kanrathed.

How I Dealt with Doomguards: I had my pit lord attack them when they came out, causing him to have aggro rather than me so I could ignore them. After he had enough threat, I would switch him back to the boss. However, before second Felhunters you have to banish the first Doomguard or the damage will be too much on you. This banish must be kept up the remainder of the fight, but it will be the only CC to watch.

Hope I helped, it may seem impossible at first but it can be done with experience. Good luck fellow locks. :)

Thedemonic's guide to Kanethrad Ebonlocke!
Okey, Kanethrad Ebonlocke is like the hardest solo encounter i have ever experienced. As a 485 geared lock i found it almost impossible, i whiped alooot (2,5k gold for repairs). The main problem here is felhound phase, and i found a real nice way to complete it. YOU DO need to get abit lucky and use all cooldowns, also i cant find it doable as demonology, u wont have enought burst to kill felhounds before cataclysm hits, so i who have played demonology since WOTLK i rerolled destro for this fight and it really is easyer, dont know about afflication though.
The idea at felhound phase is:
Banish first felhound
HAVOC second appearing felhound and keep him targeted
When THIRD felhound spawns press charge on HAVOCED felhound and nuke third.
This worked real well for me, sometimes they didnt even dispel my enslave demon.
About the last banished one i rebanished him before cataclysm and if neccecary re-enslaved pit lord. After cataclysm i nuked boss until pitlord charge was off cd, when its off cd unbanish felhound and charge the felhound at the same time (he gets stunned even if you cast charge on him while banished) and simply nuke it down. Rest phases are easy, just keep the doomlord that apppears banished/feared and aoe down the imps and its a kill! YOU CAN use charge 1 time for every summoned demon pack so u can still interrupt cataclysm in time. That did the trick for me and i hope it will for you also :).

Kommentar von Furiyers

Shortly after enslaving the Pit Lord you can potentially avoid Kanrethad's curse of ultimate doom until after he summons the first wave of imps if you time the charge and LoS correctly. It requires some RNG to go your way but it can buy you an extra minute or so and be the difference between an intellect potion or a purification potion. It seems like he casts his chaos bolt on a fixed timer and will interrupt his own spell-cast to start casting it at you.

Kommentar von Crystalcore

I used the Eye of Kilrogg minor glyph to get through stage 4 hallway ^_^

Kommentar von 1106032

Finally succeeded at this encounter last night, in no small part due to the extensive advice posted here on Wowhead. Thank you to everybody who shared their valuable experience. I would just like to mention that the game-changers for me were using my demonic gateway to drop threat, which allowed the Pit Lord to fulfill his roll as tank, and using a Purification Potion to drop the 7min 1-million damage debuff. I focused on add phases and put DPS on the boss whenever possible, the fight ended on the third phase of "bonus" imps. Best of luck to all who attempt this fight, hopefully it does not get nerfed as I found victory in this encounter to be one of my greatest and most rewarding achievements in WoW!

Notes:
Failed Attempts: ~60
Gold on Repairs: ~2500
Difficulty IMO: Friggin Hard
Heart Rate on Kill Attempt: Through the Roof!

Kommentar von Bended82

Grubenlord is the pit lord you will be enslaving

If you use macros for pet abilities you probably want to think about

/cast Fel Flame Breath
/cast Charge
/cast Demonic Siphon

Teufelsflammenatem
Ansturm
Dämonischer Siphon

Kommentar von MrSecret

After following Akama there is a maze that made from traps ,use Eye of Kilrogg and World Markers to pass that and do not forget to dismiss your pet.

I got it with 487 ilvl Destro, if you wanna do it be ready to pay 12387129 gold for repair. I learned a new thing every try, but Esinar's and Blynks' guide helped me a lot. I used Pit Lord's stun whenever i can until he summons demons (if you keep using demon gate and stun it may pass summon first imp phase so be careful for that), I did it because my ilvl is not high enough to do like Esinar. Before to start tries you should change your talents, Unbound Will and Singe Magic will help you too much , actually i don't think you can do it without them. Use Demon Gate whenever you can, Chaos Bolt may kill you so renew your Demonic Circle in the middle of fight and Enslave Demon Glyph is so usefull for this fight. Gl all, I hope you get it.

Kommentar von 590060

*first, i tried with a 480 destro lock, it was painful, did LFR; got a bunch of stuff, came back in at 488, much more manageable*

Well, most comments are on how to fight the last boss, figured id explain more on getting there

stage 1, getting to the inside of the temple, you can go around the first mobs, but at the ramp are 3. You cant fear one, and making your pet attack doesnt seem to work for me. Shadowfury does tho, stun and run by, make it to the door before hes out of the stun.

stage 5, getting to the reliquary of souls. Use the eye of kilrogg to SEE the traps and move around them, the eye will hit the traps and summon mobs.
--or--
use the eye to see the traps, and use your Demonic Gateway to skip it by porting yourself forward. 2 gateways properly placed should get you thru it without much hassle, or even having to fight the mobs that are there.

bla bla bla, roleplay, then miniboss fight

I started at the left side, and slowly worked my way to the right, so to keep the fire to one side.
Aoe the adds down quickly, ember tap / cookies for a quick heal, then burn the dude, repeat, repeat repeat
Fire and brimstone + immolate / incinerate with the talent soul leach, and glyph syphon life is great for survivablity. that, plus the cookies, and ember tap, you shouldnt have much of a problem killing the adds, and staying alive. burn the boss when your health is high-ish, and no adds are up. the voidwalker tanks him easily

stage 6 kill the adds by pulling them down to where you fought the boss, the unbound nightlord fears, and getting feared into more packs sucks. i chose to kill the bonemenders first, then the nightlord, they summon more adds, and thats never ok.

kill the imps, easy

unbound centurian silences whatever is infront of him, stay behind/to the side., ez pz

2 more unbound nightlords, burn them, they put a curse on you that heals them if you do damage to them, just kill their adds in the meantime... then burn, also easy.

stage 7 MOVE FOOL! you need to move quickly, i looted a bunch and made it all the way to the end with seconds to spare. I used the voidwalker, spammed instant cast spells and stood on the loot, spamming the right mouse button to loot while DPS´ing. to give you an idea of where the end of this den of delights or whatever is, its outside, where the matriarch boss was, the shrivva lady with lots of arms.... go basically where she is in the raid. the door is locked, so you have to go up on the platform in the middle of the big open area, and use the chest. all the mobs despawn. Time is of the essence here. you want green fire, not money. All the stuff i looted, maybe 200g?

thats about it, head to the top, kill the guy,

Final Stage Kanrethad. 31.4 mil hp. not a pleasant dude. Still working on him. best attempt (around the 10th) was 83%. the chaos bolts are an issue.

**Do we really have to leave to repair? anyone figure out a way around this? i really dont wanna do all that crap again**

quick questions, I left on final stage to get some much needed supplies and my quest is back at the beginning. So am I to assume the quest restarts when u leave the black temple? If so that would have been a great addition to this guide. So make sure that you bring tome of unclear mind so as to switch out glyphs and if you have a travelers tundra ur good. also bring the purification potion like people have said. Stage 5 I died a lot cuz I kept tripping the traps which I know that I didn't. I gatewayed across the area 3times and tripped twice. MAKE SURE YOU SOULSTONE on this phase cuz you do not want to do that phase again. I'm gonna get a few better gear pieces and try this again.

Anyone have good strategies with the imps? They keep wiping me out, all I've read is to aoe them, and yet they attack me continually and seem largely unaffected by anything I do, I can't really leave them be because they'll just kill me hard, haha.

For the souls part, using the eye is nice, in fact use the eye and then use your gateway to place the gateway where no adds are and none of the blue crap. dismiss eye and take your gateway. I did this all the way to the room, took 3-4 gateways and only ending up having to kill 2 adds and took less time then trying to walk your way through it.

After 15-30 tries I finally got him down. Without help from Esinar's guide I wouldn't have made it with so few tries.

Thanks a lot Esinar for the guide and thanks a lot blizzard for this EPIC quest!

Kommentar von dasbaum

If you abandoned the quest, it will automatically start again once you enter the scenario (use the main gate to queue for the scenario, not the back entrance to enter normal version of black temple).

Kommentar von Bredock

imposible to do it with malevolent gear tho no hitcap at all and not enought dmg in some situations after 100+ tries following the guide im done, if blizzard made this for PVE players or you just have to farm PVE gear, thanks and fu.

At the stairs before the door are three guards. I just ran past the middle guard and he didn't do anything.

Kommentar von Ondersjaak

I finally downed him yesterday after wiping for 2 hours a day, 3 days in a row! I'd just like to share some thoughts here for those who are attempting to do this at a relatively low item level. I completed it with ilvl 478 gear, so it's definitely possible! Don't give up! :)

One of the key things you want to be doing is using your Demonic Gateway on cooldown. This essentially keeps you off the aggro table for the duration of the debuff, so you should try to use it immediately when your debuff expires. The result will be that you will only catch a (dispellable) debuff every now and then and you'll only be targeted by chaos bolt once or twice per try at most.

Obviously, the hardest phase is the one where the three Felhounds spawn to eat your enslave demon. I found that the chance they removed your enslave was smaller if they were further away from the Pit Lord, so I didn't use the Fel Flame Breath macro Esinar suggested (thus keeping the Pit Lord on Kanrethad). If you're lucky, your Pit Lord might not even lose its enslavement. With bad gear, you'll be struggling to get the Felhounds down quickly. This is problematic, because you need to re-enslave your Pit Lord to interrupt the next Cataclysm cast. I used the following strategy in Destruction spec:
- Dark Soul
- Immolate the Felhounds as they come out
- Rain of Fire on yourself (they will run to you)
- Schattenfuror on the Felhounds to buy yourself some precious seconds while your DoTs are ticking
- Chaos Bolt a single one, then Havoc + Chaos Bolt the other two
- Your DoTs (Immolate and Rain of Fire) should be bringing them just low enough to finish them with Shadowburn.
- If this is not enough to dip them below 20%, use Conflagrate for that last bit of damage and then finish them off.

Do NOT forget to keep using your Dämonisches Tor while doing this. The Felhounds will not have taken any damage from your Pit Lord, so they will stay on you regardless of your dropping off the aggro table as a result of using the gateway. Also, if you see the Pit Lord coming for you, make sure you use Dunkler Pakt immediately. He deals massive damage and Kanrethad will also start focusing you. At this point, you also want to be on the lookout for any Chaos Bolts he might be sending your way. If you see him casting one, use your Demonic Circle as suggested by Esinar to get out of his line of sight.

If you happen to make it through 2 waves of Felhounds, good job! You're not quite there yet, though. At this point your Curse of Ultimate Doom debuff should only leave you about 1 minute to finish him off. If you have bad gear like I did, you want to be using Läuterungstrank to give you another 7 minutes to kill him (he will re-cast it almost immediately).

After the second Doom Lord is summoned, Kanrethad will only be summoning Imps from his portal. These wouldn't be too much of a problem, if you didn't have those 2 Doom Lords which you need to manage with CC. I found that, later in the fight, your Pit Lord will have broken Fear with his Fel Flame Breath a couple of times. This means he'll be on the aggro table of the Doom Lords, so if you use your Demonic Gateway at this point (and you should be!) they will forget about you and focus your Pit Lord instead. No need to CC anymore! I actually had both of the Doom Lords focusing my Pit Lord once I finally managed to kill Kanrethad. If they drain your Pit Lord's health too quickly, don't forget you can heal him with Lebenslinie! As a final warning, I'd like to mention that Enslave Demon only has a 5-minute duration. If the fight still continues 5 minutes after the second wave of Felhounds, your Enslave will break. If you used the strategy above, this means you'll not only get the Pit Lord and Kanrethad to mash your face in, you'll get the 2 Doom Lords after you as well! Pop any defensive cooldowns you might still have to buy yourself some time to get in control of the situation again.

All in all I'd say this is one hell of a fight and I had a great time figuring it out. Don't let your low item level hold you back, fellow warlocks! Persist and green fire shall be yours!

Following Esiner's guide on the Battle.net forums (btw its on the eu.battle.net forums so you have to have a character on the Europe servers to comment)

One of the things I was doing to handle the Fel Hunter phase was binding the move pet action button ( /click PetActionButton3 LeftButton) to a free mouse button.
As soon as I saw the boss run to the portal to start summoning the Fel Hunters, usually shortly after he tries to cast a Catacylsm, I would Soul Shatter, as I click a spot far far away and behind a pillar for the Pit Lord to go to. (usually one to the far right of portal, as my area of moving is on the left side)
I would cast Rain of fire on the portal before the Fel Hunters start appearing so that they instantly came to me otherwise they will go for the Pit Lord first if they have not been hit by anything. I did what the guide said but I didn’t use my offensive CDs on these guys, I killed them as fast as I could but not with CDs. One sacrificial pact was enough to keep me alive as they did not hit very hard at all.
I make sure to save the Soul Shatter for this phase so that I can keep the boss focused on the Pit Lord while the pit lord is just standing in the corner.

Now for the 2nd Fel hunter phase, I felt like this strategy wasn’t working for some reason even though I was doing the same exact thing except also Banishing a Doom Guard. It turns out my Enslave Demon was just ending come the second Fel Hunter wave. So, since there was so much down time during the Doom Lord phase, I made sure to dismiss my Pit Lord as he was summoning the Doom Lord, re enslave it, drop threat with the demonic gateway, then banish the Doom Lord, and THEN use my CDs as there is a good amount of time to really pump out some DPS.
This way come the second Fel Hunter phase the Pit Lord should still be enslaved. I used some macros combined with DBM timers if you wanna try these (must have Deadly Boss Mods):

Enslave Pit Lord (this one you can spam and as soon as the cast goes off he will go straight for the boss but you must hit it at least once after the cast finishes):
#showtooltip
/target Pit Lord
/cast Enslave Demon
/targetlasttarget
/petattack
/dbm timer 300 Enslave Pit Lord

Banish First Doom Lord:
#showtooltip Banish
/target focus
/target Doom Lord
/cast Banish
/targetlasttarget
/dbm timer 30 Banish Doom Lord 1

Fear second Doom Lord:
#showtooltip
/target Doom Lord
/cast Fear
/targetlasttarget
/dbm timer 20 Fear Doom Lord 2

This one I used to help with AOEing the Fel Imps:
#showtooltip
/target Fel Imp
/cast Fire and Brimstone

One of the things I learned with the Doom Lords is you can't LOS them to a pillar to move them out of the fight so to speak, they will keep casting at you through the pillar. Cheap i know.

Kommentar von 1109396

For the three mobs at the main gate, there is an easier way to distract them. If you get close to the workers on either side, they don't attack you, they just yell and one of the guards will go check them out. You just move avoiding the detection area (marked in red dashes), mount and go in where the guard was, undetected and undisturbed.

Kommentar von 941150

I see some comments about "getting past the guards outside". None of the guards aggro me, and I have a buff called Das Vertrauen der Aschenzungen. I'm guessing this is because I'm exalted with the Die Todeshörigen, but I'm not sure what reputation is required.

Lol, I wasn't expecting to get top comment, but I didn't expect to get down-voted into oblivion for mentioning potentially-useful, at least factually-correct information that isn't mentioned anywhere else in the comments either.

Attempted this at 460. What a huge mistake.

Kommentar von 1113586

For those that are struggling to make it through the invisibel maze and are tired of spamming eye, just do the following:

1.) Kill off the first two pats inside the maze closest to the entrance, avoiding the maze traps.

2.) Move some into the maze up to the first left hand turn, cast eye and keep it active.

3.) Cast the new lock gate spell w/ the exit further into a clear portion of the maze.

4.) Repeat steps 2-3 as needed and kill any mob that gets in your way.

5.) Enjoy your attempts on the Order mini boss.

It should only take two or three casts of the gate to make your way through in short order. Also, sac / dismiss your pets during the trip to avoid any extra adds being spawned due to pets wandering into traps.

Kommentar von 1113658

As some one who doesn't raid and therefore doesn't have fantastic gear this is simply impossible, I couldn't even get past the essence of order. For a quest chain for an effect which doesn't actualy effect gameplay, no matter how long people have been asking for it to be this ridiculously hard is frankly stupid.

Kommentar von Werich

The greatest disappointment about this fight is that there is no achievement for this quest line. I really think that Blizzard should implement one, at least something like Schreckensross von Xoroth. After all, killing the Kanrethad Ebonlocke is one of the hardest (if not even the hardest) solo challenge in WoW.

To all of you, who are despaired of your wipes, with my ilvl 494 destro warlock I needed 111 attempts to kill the final boss. Hope that motivates you a bit :-)

If you are looking for more tips and strategies, many other suggestions can be found within the comments on Kanrethad Schwarzhaupt page itself.

I 1 shoted him...oops, erm...i mean...he one shoted me!

I got the book earlier from a fellow warlock. That look in his eyes...he almost begged me to take it. He sold it to me 5 times cheaper than AH. I felt desperation in his presence, now....now i understand why he was trying so hard to get rid of it.

Kommentar von 1062573

Stage 4 of this quest can be fairly rough if you don't know how to do it. The trick is that the hallway is filled with tons of traps; if adds are spawning on you, it's because you touched one. Your Eye of Kilrogg can see them however. The easiest way to do this stage is to use Glyph of Eye of Kilrogg (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=58340#recipes). Using this glyph, have your eye go a little bit down the path and drop your teleport circle. Port there, and DO NOT MOVE. If there are enemies in range, pull them and kill them. Then summon the eye again and repeat. Doing this, you can easily leapfrog down the hallway without triggering the traps.

Kommentar von 60583

Been trying this on my lock who is Destro and ilvl 492 and all I can say is... impossible. Blizzard should have made it so you can't start the quest chain till your gear is high enough. so far I have been almost 1 hit by a chaos bolt, the dots tick so much that I don't live long enough to get past the first wave of imps and btw, the boss will keep attacking you and you will never truly loose threat. I have used all the 'tricks' suggested but it just isn't working, then, my brother-in-law reminded me, all this aggro just to have 'GREEN' fire effect. I dumped the quest. A challenging quest/scenario is one thing but i'm not some teenager with all the time in the world to repeat a boss 40+ times just to make fire look nice. Just my opinion and last word, don't try this unless you are at least ilvl 502 or above. seems this is geared towards raiders and that heroic gear is needed.

Kommentar von WardenKhan

I just completed this and came here looking, and i seen all these comments about ilvl of gear. I want to say the ilvl of you gear doesn't matter. This fight is all about using the pitlord properly. Good luck.

Kommentar von DeadBoyParis

Does anyone know if you leave the scenario on the last boss, when you try again do you have to start all over? :(

Kommentar von Strangewayes

When I got inside the Black Temple, the Ashtongue Leader attacked me. I spend about 10 minutes fighting him, got him to 10%, then his health reset.

Oh I was MEANT to die I see.

Kommentar von Amberose

Not seen this mentioned here but just something to note that while you have this quest for the scenario you can not enter normal Black Temple raid or even see other people outside Black Temple. Entire area is completely phased and trying to enter the portal does nothing.

Kommentar von Gronksmash

Blizz wins. Dropped the quest after not being able to get the first boss below 80% on five tries. I don't have the patience or time for something this time consuming and frustrating. I hope the Green Fire is worth it.

Kommentar von 1105552

I beat this guy on my second try. all I used for damage was immolate conflagrate and incinerate. occasionally i used rain of fire to get my embers up and to get rid of the pesky souls. for heals i used ember tap most of the time, but when things got rough, i used dark regeneration, healthstone, and mortal coil. my deamon didn't die, fortunately, but if he did i would have used flames of xoroth to get him back up in a hurry. it isn't impossible. If a girl can do it on only her second try, you can to!

When you are trying over and over again and make no progress, THAT's when you start to get furious! The realization that you're not getting any better at it is what causes people to yell and break controllers. It's also an indication that your strategy is not working...

Don't use your goddamn ghost iron dragonling during Stage 4 either. He sets off traps too, and will lead to five ghosts beating your ass to death.

Kommentar von entlassen

I did this with iLevel 501. I read up on the guide here and the excellent one on Icy Veins (google the author, Ackthal). Thanks to the prep, I succeeded in about 10 tries. On my 9th try, I made it past the second Felhunter phase and died to one of the imp waves (I thought I was home free and underestimated how hard they hit you).

Some interesting notes in my run:
1) When I got the boss to 1 hp and he went into the scripted ending, my Pit Lord and the two Doomguards did NOT despawn. About 15 seconds into the ending while the NPCs were still talking to each other, I actually got killed by the demons. Needless to say, I was worried that I had to redo the whole fight, but when I released and came back the quest NPCs were still there. The Pit Lord and two Doomguards were also still there, so I had to enslave the Pit Lord & make him hit the other two demons a couple of times to get aggro. I had them fight in a corner of the arena while I turned in the quest and channeled the green flame power into myself. It was kinda funny casting hearthstone while watching the three demons still going at it.

2) During Stage 7, my bags got completely full and I couldn't pick up a bunch of the treasures laying on the ground. When I went back to town though, all the stuff I had tried to pick up but got left behind were delivered to my mailbox. I was able to retrieve them in the mail and then sell them all. Horray!

3) One tip I didn't see mention in most of the guides, but which I found to be invaluable, is that when the boss summons the first Pit Lord, the boss doesn't start attacking you until you actually cast Enslave. So I stunned the Pit Lord with Shadowfury then Feared it. The whole time it was feared, I nuked the crap out of the boss with no repercussions. It's about 20 seconds of extra freebie damage, and I was able to get him down to 87% before combat even officially started. Best of all is that he doesn't cast Ultimate Doom until he starts attacking you either, so you buy yourself some buffer time there too.

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Just tried to do this on my Demonology Warlock at ilvl 456, and got to Stage 5. It was fairly near impossible to do for me once the adds started popping. I will come back when I am better geared and try it again.

Does anybody know if I leave the scenario do I basically have to start over from scratch if I come back at a later date? I'm assuming yes, but it wasn't that hard to get to Stage 5 either way. :)

Kommentar von slugtusk

Does anyone know if I abandon the quest chain at this point if I can pick it back up without needing another Sealed Tomb? After reading about how hard this is, and due to my love of the lore, I decided I would just keep this quest in my log so I can always go into my own instanced Black Temple. I have never done the attunement quest, so I decided to do that too, so I could have an instant teleport there too. But now I'm doing the chain, and of course there are no mobs outside the Temple. So I can't kill the orc for the Heart of Fury. I'm thinking about abandoning the green fire quest chain at this point and finishing up the attunement one. Will I need a new Sealed Tomb, or will I be able to pick it back up?

Kommentar von Silentfrost

I finally found something that you all can enjoy, this is the easiest and possible way to do this fight; not all the stuff others say and you try and act like "W...What? HOW?" I , in my low PvP gear actually managed to pull this off and I laughed hysterically how easy it was...

BEFORE THE FIGHT:
1) Make sure your sac. 'ing your imp so you can purge dots off
2) Place your portals down, they play a HUGE role since they can drop your aggro! ( I KNOW!)
3) Get Fear glyph, enslave demon (like everyone else has told you)
------------------------------
DURING THE FIGHT:
You have the beginning phase to beat his face inside out, BUT ALSO!
1) Pop Dark soul, blood thirst, etc. etc. (do not pop a potion) Stun the pit lord (Yes, I know), immolate the boss, then FEAR the pitlord (if its glyphed then they wont move and 20 seconds completely more of extra face-beating for the boss) once the lord is at 2 seconds left, go ahead and enslave
2) He takes extra damage after being stunned so stun him as soon as you get the option available and use felbreath etc. for maximum damage, before the fight even started I had him down to 27~'ish
NOTE: The pitlord does have an ability that sometimes doesnt add itself to the action bars of the pet, it heals the master 200k instantly and will save your life
3) CONSTANTLY use your portals every time they are up, they reset aggro and your pitlord can tank the entire fight so you have to eat 0 chaos bolts 0 soul fires, but you MUST keep purging yourself as well, if you use your portals correctly you can keep doom off you until imps are out (doom wont be an issue at all, I promise, the potion of puri. gets rid of it anytime you use it)
IMP'S:
1) Try to move on the right side of the platform, angle the pitlord to face the portal and use felbreath , lay down one or two rain of fires then target the boss again, turn fire and brimstone on and immolate and spam incin, this will take around 3-4 incins to be done with the phase
2) Make sure to save the stun for the cata. and use felbreath at all times to increase dps.
FELHUNTERS: The hardest phase
1) Passive the pit, move him to the corner of the (how do I explain this...) platform thats behind the portal, no there is no secret platform, just move him in the corner (if facing portal, put him to the right of it facing a wall)
2) USE SOUL SHATTER! DO NOT ATTACK THE BOSS! This will cause the boss to focus the pitlord instead of you, which people mainly have an issue because the boss'es chaos bolt kills them easily. Use soul shatter as soon as he starts channeling then get off him and start spamming the rain!
3) Move to the left of the portal in the central grate and use dark soul, cd's etc. and chaos bolt the felhounds, don't try to do it without chaos bolt or else you may run out of time and let him easily cata you (if you cant beat the felhounds before the cata, you need to improve your damage, they MUST die before it), don't kite... don't run, just sit there, chaos bolt, shadowburn, gg, MAKE SURE TO PURGE YOUR EFFECTS! If the boss is still focused on you, you screwed up a simple mechanic with soul shatter, your pitlord should not be freed due to hes facing a wall and you should have gotten all aggro.
4) Stun him during his cata.
DOOM LORDS: Simple phase
1) Ignore them, I did this while tanking them and had no issue at all
2) remove your enslave pit lord and re-slave him.
Possible 3) This is a good time to use your purification potion to clear curse of ultimate doom! ^_^
IMPS..AGAIN)
Repeat
Felhunters)
Repeat
KEEP IN MIND! This is the LAST Wave of Fel's that will come out, this makes the entire fight an easy push and burn, at the bottom I will add additional comments about ways if your struggling.
Doom lord)
Repeat, ignore them
Imps)
Repeeaaat.. Yawn..
Killing this Mofo)

You should by now have a pretty good mastery of using your portals to reset your aggro, your pit lord can heal you easily and you now have shadow burn up to spam, however I didn't spam it due to I wanted to be safe as possible, instead after the felhunter phase I started using half my embers gained usually on keeping my health 100%, just simply swap gates around and spam normal tactics, do NOT do anything risky!

Tips; Glyph of Fear, Enslave Demon, The portal glyph (or buy the item -_-) since it will constantly keep you moving which will reset your aggro, and Siphon life if the imps are too strong for you (immolate !)

Constantly swap portals, I know I repeat it but its seriously important, do not use soul shatter unless beginning fel hunt phase, you need your lord to tank while you take care of them,
I found the quickest way to kill them ) Dark soul, chaos bolt, conflag x2, shadow burn, repeat
You will have enough time with this method, I also set the boss on focus a lot for obvious reasons.

Better safe than sorry, with the Potion of purification you don't have to worry about the enrage dot, please don't stress over it! After his doom lords and fel hunts he just summons imps, Easy right?

Talents; Soul Leech , Shadow fury (only used once) , Sac. Pact (for fel phase, helps the damage on your hp), Unbound will (didnt use), Grimoire of Sac. (IMP), KJ Of course.

Their is actually a video explaining all of this that I used, I just want people to realize this is really, a SIMPLE WAY! Youtube "GREEN FIRE LAST BOSS pvp gear 485 ilvl no reforge nor flask- easiest way to do it" To find the video, he actually explains it simpler and makes me laugh at how hard I was making this simple thing, just small little things you learn save your ass.

Kommentar von 18349

One really handy trick as Destro is during the Imp phase. I was making the mistake of dropping a RoF and then using Fire and Brimstone to burn them down as fast as I could. I found I never had embers to burn Kanrathed, particularly after the cataclysm phase.

I switched to Mannoroth's Fury instead of KJC and still opted to drop RoF on the Imps, but rather than burning down them I just started lobbing Chaos Bolt after Chaos Bolt at Kanrathed, refreshing RoF as necessary. I'd portal jump a bit more often to make sure I didn't pick up unwanted agro. As soon as I got near 20% I saved my embers and Dark Soul, and as soon as he popped below 20% I burned everything I had. I managed to down him after the 2nd Imp phase doing it this way.

Kommentar von 798034

due to 5.4's wonderful changes to demonic gateway, this quest is now impossible since gateway doesnt drop aggro anymore. the boss will still target u indefinitly.. ignoring your fel demon and tunneling you to death. hurray for blizzard to screw up this quest.

Kommentar von Hellseeker17

Does anyone know how to do this in 5.4? because Demonic Gateway no longer reset your threath!

Kommentar von chaseli1199

In case anyone still wondering how to defeat the boss in 5.4 without the aggro reset through the Demonic Gateway (those who didn't read my reply to GeneralK), use Demonic Circle to LoS the boss and avoid being hit by his Chaos Bolt.

Before starting the event, put your circle near to one of the pillars (I used the one left to the portal where the boss came out). Or you can do this after the event starts, there is plenty of time before the real battle. Then place yourself between your circle and the boss and fight him normally. That includes avoid rain of fire, enslave pit lord etc. etc. And when you see him casting Chaos Bolt stop casting and use your Demonic Teleport right away and run behind the pillar. Wait until his cast bar is finished and come out and back to your position.

Or if you have other movement enhance methods use them to LoS him.

Other than the Chaos Bolt the boss doesn't hit hard. So you should have no problem killing him.

Other tips about the fight

Before you go to Black Temple, make sure you have a handful of Läuterungstrank. This is to remove your debuff Fluch der ultimativen Verdammnis. The debuff has 7 minutes timer and when it ticks off you will die but the fight will last longer than 7 minutes so do remember to use the potion before time runs out.

Imp phase

When he starts channelling place yourself right in front of the portal and as soon as you see imps coming out use Fel Flame Breath (pit lord's ability) targeting yourself so it can help you aoe down the imps faster.

If you don't manage to kill those imps quick enough and the boss starts casting Chaos Bolt at you, don't panic! Teleport away and LoS him is the first and only priority! Use the pit lord's heal if necessary.

Fel Hunter phase

When he cast Cataclysm after the Imp phase you know he will be summoning fel hunters after. So be prepare to move your pit lord behind the other pillar and use Soul Shatter. In my case since I use the left pillar to LoS the boss I move pit lord to the right pillar. This is because you want to move fel hunters as far away from pit lord as possible and make them face away from pit lord to avoid your enslave being dispelled.

Now the boss starts channelling the summon use Soul Shatter and your pit lord should be behind a pillar. So when the fel hunters come the boss will got to attack pit lord. As soon as you see fel hunters come out of the portal use a few instant spell to grab aggro (normally it won't be a problem even if you don't attack cause they will always run to you but just in case) then teleport and burst them off as quickly as you possibly can. This is very important because if you don't kill them quick enough and the boss starts casting cataclysm you will have no choice but to move your pit lord out and use his charge ability. Of course you know the next thing will be that the fel hunter dispels pit lord and you die :(

You can also use Demonic Gateway to quickly move away from your pit lord and lure those fel hunters to you.

Do note that even when the boss is attacking your pit lord at the other pillar he can still cast Rain of Fire at your location. LoS seems to have no effect on this spell. So if you see fires dropping on your head move out of it and keep those fel hunters facing away from pit lord.

Doom Lord phase

When he starts summoning doom lord, quickly dismiss your pit lord and enslave him again because the enslave effect only have 5 minutes by the time you reach this phase usually you will only have 2 minutes left. So to avoid chaos later, do this now.

There are a few ways to handle the doom lord, choose the one suits you the best.

Tank them. Do note that the boss will summon another doom lord later so if you choose to tank make sure you can survive.
Banish them. Again there will be two doom lords at a later stage and the banish only last for 30 seconds. So if you choose this keep a close look at the timer.
Make your pit lord tank them. This is the one I go for because I found it easy to do. After you done your re-enslave move to the portal just like the imp phase. When the doom lord appears DO NOT attack him. Use Fel Flame Breath at you so it will hit the doom lord too and your pit lord will pick up the aggro. If not do it again.

IMPORTANT!
Put your Demonic Circle at where it was. The circle only last for 6 minutes so it will not last for the whole fight. At this stage the circle will probably only have 1 minute left so it is very important that you put down the circle again. You really don't want to be killed by his Chaos Bolt when he is under 20%.

Cycle

After the doom lord phase he will repeat the phases again (Imps - Fel Hunters - Doom Lord). And after the second cycle he will only summon imps.

When you finish off the boss both the pit lord and the doom lords will not disappear and you will need to kill them.

End

OK that's pretty much it. If you want detailed strategy there are many on this page or you can check out Icy Veins or Youtube all will explain how to defeat him in detail. Although most of those are before patch 5.4, as I said at the beginning the loss of aggro drop does not affect the fight dramatically and this fight is nowhere near impossible. I do believe that Demonic Gateway is intended to perform this way and the aggro part is rather a fix than a change.

I hope this is helpful and people will stop posting like this fight can't be done cause we can't drop aggro. Thanks for reading and best luck to all of you! :)

Today i defeated last boss.Kanrethad Ebonlocke...It was hard and took 6 hours for me as a destro lock. My ilevel is 500 but all of them are timeless isle 496 epics except my dagger so no set bonuses.. After 5.4 demonic gate doesnt remove your threat.This caused a lot of pain. I used my demonic gate behind the left pillar because he cast chaos bolt near the right pillar.When he begins to cast chaos bolt run to your demonic gate. This will make you los and you avoid chaos bolt. Also you can put your demonic circle near the right pillar. If you cant reach your demonic gate or it is on cd you can use your circle teleport.

When you enslave the pit lord you get some special abilities.Here are these:

Cleave: no special thing.just cleave

Fel Flame Breath: AoE damage abilities.The trick is: It dispell you.You should use this as often as you can.

For easy usage heres a macro:

/cast Fel Flame Breath

You use this skill on yourself because it has slight damage while it dispells !@#$s from you plus helps pit lord threat generation. You should make it to damage Kanrethad too.This is important.So make him stands between you and pit lord.

Charge: This is the key that lead you to victory. Charge serve as a interrupt skill. You should use when he start casting Cataclysm. He will run to center so you dont miss when he casts. Be aware of this. This is the most important thing to do.Use charge ONLY for interrupt the cataclysm.After interruption you want to use Fel Flame Breath (dispell ability). And then some heal maybe.

Macro for quick charging:

/target kanrethad
/cast charge

Demonic Siphon:Healing ability.Use when you feel you need heal.Macro: /cast Demonic Siphon

At p1 (imp phase): AoE imps.Use shadow fury when all of 60 imps are summoned.Brimstone+incinerate+couple of hell fire.Stand middle of the imps and use Fel Flame Breath. Beware Kanrethad's hell fire.When you kill all imps or you are about to kill all he will cast chaos bolt.Be ready to use your demonic gate/teleport.

At p2(fel hunter phase): When he cast cataclysm after imp phase that means he will summon fel hunters.
After interruption and heal quickly move your pit lord behind the left pillar where your demonic gate stands. Use soul shatter to reduce your threat.

Macro for quick moving:

/click PetActionButton3 LeftButton

cast couple of hell fire on portal and be sure fel hunters follow you. Hide behind the left pillar while you are casting attacking hunters.Use havoc shadowfury and if you struggle use howl of terror.You have to nuke them down before he starts to cast cataclysm.

At p3 (demonlord phase): easy one. After last catacylsm he will summon demonlord.Dismiss and enslave back your demon.So you reset its 5min duration.Attack your pit lord to demonlod.Pit lord should tank demonlord and boss.using his breath helps for threat generation.

Macro for quick enslave:

/tar pit lord
/cast enslave demon

Be sure that you have the gylph of enslave demon to cast it fast.this is a must.

Advices:

-Use your dark soul properly.It shouldnt be on cd when you start spamming shadowburn.use other cds if you have when you spam shadowburn
-Use bartender addon or smoething like that.Make a very huge bar with 8 buttons.Put your interrupt dispell healing enslaving macro purification potions health stone and your command demon ability on this bar.You should sacrifice your imp to get another dispell skill.Use this when you cant or you dont want to use pit lords dispell.
-Get unbound will talent.This serve as another dispell ability.Use this properly.
-havoc gylph is usefull for burning fel hunters down.
-healthstone gylph is useful.
-Get some flask and food.
-Use purification potion last 59-30 seconds of Fluch der ultimativen Verdammnis.
-watch some videos after 5.4 version if you have problems.
-Fight is not impossible or very hard.You just need to be very very very careful. Timing is very important.
-You should get Dunkler Pakt.Use this if you cant avoid chaos bolt via teleporting or demonic gate.Use with twilight ward.
-Use Erbarmungslose Entschlossenheit when you AoE imps.Imps do hard damage.

SPOILER
when you complete quest you must click on the Kanrethad to get green fire ability.I was very excited because killing boss after 6 hours and though i got green fire ability.I was roaming around like headless chickens and saying omg this is bugged.wtf am i going to do now.Opened a ticket and a GM said click to on the boss :).

As of 5.4 please be aware that if you're a certain distance (30 yards, perhaps more.) the Felhounds will not come out of the portal and will instead spawn on you rapidly, same for the imps.

You can also now Seelenstein yourself to avoid the death from Fluch der ultimativen Verdammnis. You will have to re-enslave the Pitlord and replace your Dämonischer Zirkel and Dämonisches Tor if you choose this method. Be aware your Pitlord has to be controlled when you die or else the encounter will end.

Kanrethad Schwarzhaupt is a challenging fight. You will have to line of sight the Chaosblitz. You will die many, many times. Master the Teufelsjäger phase and your confidence will boom. Don't be afraid to watch any video guides that will aid you. I used This

Kommentar von Dehik

Completed this boss on 5.4 with a poorly geared warlock (482 ilevel, No gems or enchants) and I have to say this was the most difficult thing I've encountered, ever. Most tips on this page are great but I'd like to add some of my own for those of you who have to squeeze through with poor dps!

1. Purification Potion. This is almost mandatory unless you are absolutely confident you have enough DPS to survive with only a Soulstone. Use the potion when the buff is about to expire.

2. Soulstone! The encounter is made so that if you die, your enslaved Pit Lord will still be taking commands and continuing the fight, thus not resetting the encounter. This will allow you to cheat death and/or Curse of Ultimate Doom at least once. However, if the Enslave breaks, the encounter will reset.

IMPORTANT: When you revive with Soulstone, your Pit Lord immediately breaks from the Enslave Demon and will attempt to kill you. BE READY TO ENSLAVE HIM IMMEDIATELY!

3. The most troublesome part about the encounter for me personally were the Felhunters. There is a way to keep the demon under your control thorough the fight if you order the demon to be passive and use the move-to command to make him run away from the boss. When the boss starts to summon the felhunters, run into the opposite direction of your Pit Lord and (IMPORTANT!) DO NOT BREAK LINE OF SIGHT WITH ANY OF THE FELHUNTERS or they will consume your Enslave Demon immediately. If you can't burst down the three felhunters down (like I couldn't) kite them into the stairs. On the stairs, you are safe from both Cataclysm and Chaos Bolt and the boss will likely not follow you there.

NOTE: If you order the Pit Lord to do something that generates threat to the Felhunters (if the pit lord is too close or if you use it to heal you) the felhunters will immediately attempt to break the enslave. Keep the Pit Lord away from the portal until you have pulled the felhunters to the stairs. When they're at the stairs, they cannot break the enslave without LoS to the Pit Lord.

4. Use Rain of Fire onto the imps and keep spamming Ember Tap when you need healing. The RoF will generate lots and lots of burning embers which allows you to tap continuously and tank it all if you can't soulshatter. Use the Pit Lord's Fel Flame Breath to whittle down the imps, and whenever you are able, stand in the Fel Flame Breath to remove the magic debuffs the boss places on you.

5. Use Soulshatter when the boss has summoned the first wave of imps and whenever you need to remove threat. This makes both the boss and the imps attack your Pit Lord. When your Pit Lord has the aggro of the boss, the boss will NOT cast Chaos Bolts at you.

jeez,i give up,i cant see how loads of loks completed this,how the hell are you meant to use pit lord to stun cataclysm when ive lost control,even though i put him on the other side of the room during felhunter phase,and even if i have control still,hes too far away to reach in time,if i get him in range,felhunters devour control again,then cataclysm hits and pit lords kicking my arse,after a whole day and few days over the months of wiping over and over and rage quitting,my freind says,wtf i did it first attempt,wtf,i nuke/control pit lord/nuke/los chaos bolt/nuke imps/los chaos/then it all goes to !@#$ wen felhunters apear,lose control of pit lord and cataclysm hits b4 i have chance to stun and recontrol pit lord,so cant stun kanrethad b4 cata

Kommentar von Khalya

If you completed the quest and like me wonder why you did not get , then you should go to the Altar of Damnation in Shadowmoon Valley, where Jubeka Shadowbreaker and Kanrethad Ebonlocke can be found... and there you can "drain" the fel energy from Kanrethad to learn the green fire effect.

Kommentar von FlipperPA

This past week, as everyone knows, Warlords of Draenor was announced as the next WoW expansion. I'm unclear on whether this will make the former Outland zones unaccessible, or the time travel element is going to go to a completely new Outland, with the old Outland zones still available somehow (this would seem necessary, for levels 60-70).

Since this will be the new Alliance starting area, it seems if the answer is that old Outland isn't available anymore, that the Black Temple (and this quest) may go away. Does anyone have a definitive answer? Will it be impossible to get the Green Fire option once 5.0 drops?

I was happy to read recently that the Green Fire is an option - it can be learned / unlearned from the demon in Outland. I'm wondering if that'll survive 5.0 as well? Thanks for any answers.

Kommentar von kintotech

in another adventure of 'do not try what Kinto has learned from in an appropriately painful fashion', Thick Pi'jiu Brew and its other two counterparts do not work in this instance.

So zerging him down with a guardian Brewmaster, Mistweaver, and Windwalker is not possible.

Kommentar von Zaufania

if you die when the boss has less than 1 million HP remaining, stay in your corpse and use the pet abilities to finish him off with your pit lord, trust me it works, i just completed this earlier and died when the boss had 450(ish) thousand HP remaining, finished him down to 1HP with the pet and got completion.

Kommentar von Kopuliak

as affli lock with ~565 IL normal raid equip and healthstone/soulstone/Dark Regen/Dark Bargain ready you can ignore adds, tactic, etc, just enslave Pit Lord and zerg him in 2 minutes.

Kommentar von Elrohiir

Here"s a small guide for those doing this post 5.4

Wanted to just add a small compendium of things I've learned in the course of downing this in 5.4 with around 500 ilvl Timeless Isle gear as destro. Here was my build.

wowhead.com/talent#oyM^|kzbq <---- Copy and Paste for Glyphs as well.

I didn't opt for increased healing from healthstones or ember tap. I was only using them when I was about half health or less, and waiting for health would've killed me. instead go for the passive healing from Immolate ticks, and soul link, and shields from soul leech to mitigate the damage you take while using the Pit Lords heal first, Ember tap second and healthstones third. Again, I cannot overstate this enough, your first choice of heal should always be the Pit Lord's ability. It saves you both Embers and healthstones for real emergency's.

Get yourself some Purification Potions. Use these when Doom gets below one minute. Do not use any other potions. This makes this not a DPS race, but a survival and execution fight.

You'll be using your Imp, and sacrificing it for the magic cleanse. Use it often.

Macro your Pit Lords breath to incinerate for extra damage. Keep track of it's cooldown so you can cleanse yourself. Remember, it's one effect per second as you stand in it, running through wont remove both debuffs if you have them.

When you use your circle to avoid Chaos bolt, refresh your circle, you have the time while waiting for the cast to finish. This way you never have to worry about it not being up.

Make sure you set your focus target.

Save the Pit Lord charge to interrupt Cataclysm. Kanrethad takes more damage when stunned. Try to cast a Chaos bolt each time.

With the Imps, I found it was best to only use Rain of Fire to down them. Sure it takes longer, but you generate more embers. As a rule, I kept ROF up constant, and kept focusing Kanrethad. I would use the extra embers to cast Chaos Bolts at 3.5 or more embers. My goal was to go into the next cataclysm with three full embers. When you stun this cataclysm, only use one Chaos Bolt, leaving you two embers. You ABSOLUTELY NEED 2 Embers for the Fel Hound Phase.

After reading extensively and watching multiple videos about the Fel Hounds the best strat I found was this. You need to have your Pit Lord of of Line Of Sight before they spawn. It's not about aggro, its about sight, if they see him in about 180 degree peripheral, they eat the enslave. Turn on enemy nameplates, this lets you see them as they spawn. As Kanrethad is summoning Fel Hounds, use unbound will to clear any debuffs, and soul shatter so that Kanrethad is on your Pit Lord.

For the Hounds themselves. Do this, in this order. Remember, you need at least 2 embers for this part.

Right after you've interrupted cataclysm and cast your one Chaos Bolt, move your pet to one side of the portal frame in such a way that the portal pillar blocks view from where the Hounds spawn. You move to the other side, slightly in front of the portal. You can keep up damage while waiting for the channel to start.

Wait for Kanrethad to start summoning the Fel Hounds. When he starts, Cast unbound will and soulshatter. This clears your debuffs and should set Kanrethad onto the Pit Lord, preventing the untimely Chaos Bolt coming your way during this phase. The Fel Hounds won't be alive long enough to really hurt you. Then:

1)Rain of Fire the middle of the portal.

2)First Hound Spawns, Conflagrate, then Havoc.

3)Target the second Hound, who should be spawning. Cast chaos bolt. while this is casting, prepare for the third one to spawn.

4)Third Hounds spawns, target and cast Chaos Bolt. Watch your cast bar. At half cast, use your pit Lords charge, wait for it to land, then use his breath.

90% of the time, all three died without any more work needed, the other 10% one remained that you could shadowburn to down.

When Kanrethad is summoning the first Doom Lord, re-enslave your Pit Lord so it doesn't break unexpectedly. Then move your Pit Lord near the portal, target the Doom Lord when it spawns, and use your Pit Lords breath. Re-target Kanrethad, and make sure you click the attack button on your Pit-Lord's bar, so he will be back on Kanrethad as well.

Rinse/Repeat Imp Phase.

Rinse/Repeat Hound Phase.

As he summons the second Doom lord, first banish the first Doom Lord, then re-enslave your Pit Lord. Use the freshly enslaved pit lord to tank both Pit Lord's if you can. If you can only manage one, you can tank the other, just be more aware of your health.

Now your in the home stretch. Kanrethad only summons Imps from here on out. When he does, use the prior Imp strategy, Rain of Fire only, Use the Pit Lord or Embertap to heal yourself. Only use Chaos Bolt/ Shadowburn when you have 3.5 or more Embers during this phase. When he moves to Cataclysm, try to pre-cast Chaos bolt, or if under 20% wait until stunned to spam Shadowburn.

Rinse and Repeat until Victory.

Didn't see this specific case listed here, so I thought it was worth mentioning that I server and faction changed while on this quest (all of my quests were reset as a result). I was able to go back to the BT entrance, enter the scenario, and it automatically gave me the quest again. Hooray for not needing to farm a new book!

Kommentar von 1212500

I completed this on 1/20/14 after about 20 attempts using the following;

Item level 522 mainly PvP gear and Timeless Isle stuff

Destruction spec with the following helpful talents; soul leech, sacrificial pact, pet sacrifice, and KJC.

Intellect flask and jade serpent potions

I did not use a portal or gateway once although I see them mentioned by others. Sacrificed the imp for dispel and used the Pit Lords charge as often as possible for the damage buff is provides but held off when I was expecting a cataclysm.

Use pact to counter chaos bolts. If you cant risk a charge then a good time to use the Pit Lord AOE is while boss is casting chaos bolt as it dispels his damage buff and then it "only" hits for 450k.

The only real difficulty once you understand the sequence is dispatching the fel hunters before they ruin your fun with their dispel. I saved all my damage cooldowns for the 2 fel hunter waves. I would charge stun the first guy and conflag him then let the Pit Lord finish him off, then havoc chaos bolt the other two down. Sounds easier than it is in practice with so many things happening at once.

The key is killing the fel hunters fast enough to get the Pit Lord back on the boss before he can kill you with chaos bolt or cataclysm.

Definitely chaos bolt while the boss is stunned for added damage.

I died a bit after the second doom lord from a chaos bolt and finished boss with Pit Lord since there were no more fel hunter waves.

If you need to return to town for any reason right click to leave scenario up by the radar and then return to entrance of the temple to re-que. Brings you right back to the boss encounter.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if this quest will remain unchanged when WoD is released? Or if it will remain at all?

Kommentar von 1239992

Good evening my fellow Warlock brothers and sisters!

Seriously this fight is a joke, total attempts 46 before I got the kill!

I followed a few different guides on youtube (Shtooky was the best by far! Hope I spelled it correctly!) and I read a few comments on here.

On the final 5 attempts I came up with a strat to cut out a lot of the "panic" you get from this fight. After looking back at all my attempts I realized I was just getting so worked up before every phase freaking out that I wouldn't get the adds down and I'd wipe.

Don't panic, you'll get it! :)

Gear:
Mix of tyranical, malev, and a few LFR pieces (hit was at 11%)

Spec/Talents/Glyphs:

Destro

Talents
- Soul Leach
- Shadowfury
- Sac Pac
- Burning Rush
- Sacrifice
- KJs Cunning

Glyphs:

MUST HAVE ENSLAVE DEMON GLYPH!

Demonic Circle
Siphon Life
Havoc (Best way to burn Flehunters)

STRAT:

Place your portal in the little hidden away part, just make sure it is out of LOS to the centre of the map. After that, put a red raid marker at the MAX DISTANCE of your portal. This is so when you are running around and a Chaos Bolt comes out, you know exactly where you need to run to so you can port out.

I didn't even bother putting my gateway up. Those people saying it needs to be up simply didn't try it and have success. I think the gateway is just one more thing to worry about in an already daunting fight. Just use the lock port with the glyph and it should be enough.

You will need the following macros for the start.

#showtooltip
/tar Pit Lord
/focus
/cast Fear
^^^^ I'll explain this in a sec

#showtooltip
/tar Pit Lord
/cast Enslave Demon

When the boss comes out, pop your potion a second after he targets you. When the fight starts blow all cds and cast your Doomguard. This is just a dps race until the Pit Lord is summoned.

When the Pit Lord is summoned use the Fear macro above to fear him. This will allow you to dps for the full duration of the fear, there was one freak attempt where I skipped the first wave of imps, Felhunters and went straight to a Doom Lord lol, but I died on second Felhunters ><

Once the Fear expires, cast your Enslave Demon macro when the Pit Lord gets in range. The second his pet bar is available get attacking with him. INTERRUPT THE FIRST DOOM CURSE! This will buy you even more time to dps, also make you dump 2 Chaos Bolts on this first charge, it helps heaps.

You should now be at first imps. ROF on their spawn, be ready with fire and brimstone and start incinerate spamming! The second the boss finishes casting, charge then breath, this should clear up the adds asap. To help with dispels, stand in front of the breath while bursting. You should be doing this all fight, keep casting breath and eat the dispels!

Once the imps are down and he goes to the middle, allow his Cataclysm to get to halfway, then charge. Again, this is to allow for the most time to dps him rather than manage dispels and everything going on.

NOW! HERE IS WHERE IT GETS TRICKY!

FELHUNTER PHASE!

It really isn't that bad.

MAKE SURE RAIN OF FIRE IS COVERING THE SPAWN POINT!

I know it may seem like its covering, but make sure every portion of that portal is hit.

When the first Felhunter spawns, cast Havoc then incinerate until the next Felhunter comes out, when he spawns start casting Chaos Bolt, when the third Felhunter comes out, get your Pit Lord to charge.

THIS IS WHERE YOU WIN THIS PHASE: The reason why you charge the third while still casting your Chaos Bolt, is so when your Chaos Bolt is cast, you can Conflag and Fel Flame to get your threat so it doesn't devour magic your Pit Lord! Don't stress if the other 2 are at next to nothing health, just Fire and Brimstone conflag until they go down. Simple!

Once the Felhunter phase is done, keep spamming the boss, always Chaos Bolt if over 3 embers, and remember to always keep 2 for charge damage boost!

Once the Doom Lord is summoned, just make sure your Pit Lord picks him up, usually takes 1-3 seconds of hitting to do the job, then put him back on boss and you won't have to worry about it.

During this imp phase you should have Dark Soul coming back up, make sure you use it for this final burn, you want to get past imps ASAP! Spam them all down and get to the Felhunters fast.

Do the exact same thing with them this time around and you'll be fine.

Keeping going hard until you reach 10%, once he gets to 10% you don't need to worry about staying alive. Once he gets to 10% you can solo him with Pit Lord controls. GG.

I haven't mentioned certain things that are particular to the fight because you can read them in all the other comments posted. This is just a different take on how I killed it. Hope it helps yo!

Kommentar von GiftedMonster

I am going to be entirely honest here.

This quest isn't worth the aggravation or irritation it causes. A small graphical change is all you really get and you can already buy those from the Blizzard Store. Mounts specifically.

Nothing changes about your spells except that the fire is green. Big deal.

For the sheer frustration this quest brings about I at least want an awesome new spell or mechanic.

And b efore someone pipes up and says "You're just saying this because you couldn't beat him."

Yeah, I couldn't. Destruction isn't my favorite spec anyway but with how savagely they defiled Affliction compared to its Cata days, I have no real choice if I want to stay competitive and viable for raids.

TL;DR: $%^& minor graphical changes that result in nothing.

Just did this today, my first attempt went pretty well, it's not as hard as the videos make it seem.

One thing that saved me was that I died at 3m hp left but luckily had 3 minutes+ on pit lord enslave he was able to kill him while I was dead ordering commands.

So if you die near his death just spam those pit lord abilities. =P

Kommentar von 1121407

I am really getting mad because I am doing good, but the thing with my attempt is one of Kanrethad Ebonlocke's Chaos Blot is critting and one-shotting me. I tried everything, what can i do to interrupt it. I can not believe we have to b scaled down for this, Kanrethad Ebonlocke's Chaos Bolt hits me for 600k-850k, i only have 624k health, that is the only thing keeping me from advancing into the fight. His first Chaos Bolt can one shot me or the second or third, depends how far i get into the fight, The Chaos Bolt is my problem.

Kommentar von 1121407

I thought Kanrethad Ebonlocke's Chaos Bolt suppose to hit for like 450k, not 650k+. I only have 624k health. What is going on?

Kommentar von WizardDani

After the 50ish try, I managed to kill him at last! No wonder they let you loot hundreds of gold just before getting to him... I spent more than 500 g in repairs!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know a little trick that helped me reduce Ebonlocke's hp very quicky (sorry if this has already been mentioned before, didn't see it anywhere!): when he starts casting Cataclysm, don't immediately send your pit lord to interrupt it. Instead, use Dark Soul and start casting Chaos bolt, THEN interrupt Cataclysm (becareful to manage your time wisely enough so he doesn't actually cast Cataclysm, otherwise you're pretty *&^%ed up xD). This way you'll get to cast two or even three Chaos bolts while he's interrupted, and considering he receives much more damage when interrupted and Grimoire of Sacrifice's debuff when he's hit by Chaos bolt, you will quickly get a chunk of hp out of him in less than 5-10 seconds!

I hope this works out for any of you who are still struggling with this tedious meany lock... Or should I say "demon"? xD

Good luck! :D(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Just defeated this guy this morning (about 9:00) as demonology, about 10 tries total, although i have 543 ilvl, died on imp pack after 2nd felhound pack (with soulstone up) then let pit lord take his last 10% (since there were so many imps & 2 doom guards), once he was defeated i soulstone res'd & got my fire
during fight i didnt move pit lord, 1st felhounds ignored pitlord but 2nd felhounds dispelled him
btw, pitlords breath didnt do much for me against imps, my own hellfire did more against them
also seemed to be some issues with los ignoring issues with the chaos bolt (I'd get behind the wall/pillar, w/e, but still get hit by it)

Don't believe these people who say its hard or anything, did it with 500ilvl in like 7-8 tries. As long as you've played lock for more than 2days it wont take long.

Didn't see anyone mentioning this but there's a minor vanity reward for completing this quest: there's a flavor text on three different talents (Dark Bargain, Sacrificial Pact and Unbound Will) referring to other members of the Black Harvest. They are as follows:

Dark Bargain - "All debts must be payed... eventually" - Shinfel
Sacrificial Pact - "Let someone else pay the price of your recklessness" - Zelfrax
Unbound Will - "I will not be stopped - be it by Human, Dragon or Titan" - Ritssyn

I didn't notice it until later on and I was quite amused by them :)

HELL YEA, finally after 2 months fighting Kanrethad Ebonlocke and trying to get my green fire, it finally happened tonight of all nights, I dead at about 1.9 mill and control the Pit Lord to kill Kanrethad Ebonlocke and watch the end a lil and when it said the quest was completed, i released and ran backed up and reensalved the Pit lord, because he was there w/ the Doomlord and the Imps, put the Pit lord on the Doomlord and let the Pit Lord fight both the Doomlord and Imps, while I got my "GREEN FIRE" fast as I could and turn in my quest, lol.

in case no one has noticed there are these rusty anvils around that you can repair at

Just completed the whole questline in ~2 hours including preparation. I bought some int flasks, all 4 available Purification Potions off the AH... turned out it was all in vain, the actual fight is really easy right now, doable way before the Doom debuff ends. By the way, the boss casted it on me twice in a row, resulting in a 14 minute countdown. Not sure if that was intended, but I didn't complain.

I followed a guide off youtube, something 5.4 revised green fire guide from shtookeyGAMES.

Finished the boss without much trouble in full PVP gear as destro in 6 minutes or so. I died twice - once at the traps stage because something bugged out while in Eye of Kilrogg and the ghosts two-shotted me, and once on the last boss since I was late to dodge a chaos bolt.

Green Dreadstead sucks though, wish I could use the old one without losing all the green spells.

Kommentar von Trillionx

I did this at 548 ilvl. no not in pve gear. yes in a full set of pride pvp gear and i defeated him. Took a while to get used to the mechanics, but if you follow the guys video in the top comments, it should give you a general idea on how to beat him.

Kommentar von 593434

I am trying to do this as a 550 raid geared warlock (from LFR to WF fully upgraded pieces, no HM pieces).

And is finding it more trouble some than lower geared people due to the fact that the pit lord will NOT hold any kind of aggro. Yet I still have some difficulty in surviving the bolts as my HP pool is not as large as a HM raider.

I am trying this and will hopefully come back with a way to do this if you out-threat the pit lord yet cannot fully tank his bolts with ease.

Ok this is what I had done

It is a modified version of the top poster (the EU one).

Namely you cannot aggro drop at all. Period. There is no way soul shatter gets the boss to attack the pit lord, so think of him as your decurser and healer. Target yourself unless you need his charge to interrupt his cataclysm.

Grab glypth of enslave demon or else when the pit lord comes out he stuns you for 6 secs, and unless you EMEF or use a pvp trinket you cannot get out of it and would take a ton of damage. The faster cast of enslave makes that a non issue.

HS glyph is nice too.

Key on talent, since you are now the tank, soul link is 100% needed to give you the HP boost. Unless you have ~700-800k hp from gear (aka HM / fully normal upgraded with WF geared) you need the HP boost. shadowfury is useless since imps die before they get anywhere near you as long as you are SoO flex geared. so take Mortal Coil as another self heal since again you are the tank. Grimoire of Sacrifice is still the only choice due to mechanics. KJ cunning is okay and helps a lot when you are on the move, but TBH if you want take Arch darkness for dps boost since I found that if I am on the move, fel flame is already nice. Save one for when he gets to 20% as it is likely near the imps phase and if you do you can insta 20 -> 0 him from all the embers from imps + DS:I crit.

Use imp as advised, and use its de-curse on cd since you will likely have something on you. Try to save embers for self heal and just use one when capped or when he is stunned from charge.

Use your Demonic circle behind the pillar to the left of you as you walk up (right of boss as he spawn) to the dark shadow spot. Use your gateway to place it somewhere you are fighting so you can gateway + circle if you were far. Generally this is toward the middle since he resets there at times and you cannot hit him if you stayed near enough to your circle to insta go there.

If there are dark swirls in the circle, don't worry, while at lower ilvl they can kill you, at this point just pop some embers / CD of some sort and you'll be fine. Seeing as you should only be there when you are avoiding his shadow bolts, the alternative is likely a one shot or drop you down to like 20-30% from full HP. And remember you WILL be eating these since the pit lord cannot tank for @#$%.

Follow the advice as above, get pit lord, enslave. Get fel imps, aoe down and use the ember to self heal to 100%, charge any cataclysm.

Now the hard part, fel hunters for me was a pain point since I do not have the gear to easily deal with them in 1 or 2 gcd (so they die as they spawn, you can do this with enough gear). So Basically pop a major CD here and tank the hunters and the pit lord for a tiny bit. You NEED to save at least one conflag to kill one hunter asap, then just kill the other two via fel flame + curse of elements. This is where shadowfury could come in handy, but my gear allowed me to deal with them quick enough (4 casts of fel flame with CoE on). The best you can do is to aggro the hunters asap and delay their cast of consume magic on the pitlord.

Then, when the doom lord comes out just banish as normal.

If you have 100k dps, you should never get a second pit or doom. At this point it just just nuke them. I got somewhat lucky to have the guy at 20% when the third set of imps came out and just use them to empower me with embers to one shot the boss from 20 to 0 with gcd shadow burn.

Done. Good luck and hopefully if you were like me that was in a somewhat between place it would help you.

Kommentar von Jimbrooks

The only problem i had with this fight was the damn chaos bolt he did until i started using Sacrificial Pact when he cast it (while i had the Pitlord Enslaved). oooooh mane, once i figured this out it was pretty easy, just crowd control and avoiding dmg.

I am happy to have cool green flames now...and in WoD 'of the Black Harvest' title :D

The scenario is Der Schwarze Tempel. Maybe someone else like me didn't see it written in the description above.

Kommentar von Driva

Stage 7 of the scenario gives you vendor trash that sells for a good sum of money. Handy for repairs in the final stage. There's a repair anvil right at where you spawn in the final stage, but you can't vendor things there.

Kommentar von 1010806

Okay so I rushed this out, on the same day i reached 90 I got item lvl 530 and the next day I tried fighting Kanrethad I was pretty nervous for some reason and failed 4 times in a row so I took a break and on my fifth try i beat him. Pretty much just take a few breaks in between each fight since it helps you get out of that cycle of losing BTW the most informational videos I found were on serious' channel he has three of the and two of them helped quite a bit.

Kommentar von Zyrinx

Stupid question time: how the hell do you leave the instance without resetting to Step 1 all over again?

I got all screwed up before the loot part Stage 7 started, never saw where to go or what to do, and was left hanging. Thought abandoning quest might help - no, tried right click - Leave group and BAM, back to square 1. So pissed. Ye gods, scenarios are awful even the solo ones.

Surely they don't make you do this whole thing in one go, do they?

Kommentar von 1170496

After many tries and helpful hints, finally got my green lanter...err...flames :D

I used the observer buff with sacrifice, it does cancel some of his spells for a moment. Otherwise it's just a matter of remembering all things and getting rid of the fel hunters.

Brimstone the imps, banish the doom, portals to move out of big ouchy bolt line of sight and use the pitlord abilities on cooldown except for the charge on the big 1mil damage thing.

Worth noting, dark bargain works on everything, even the one mill hit :p

Done as Demonology 519ilvl, here's my video with written guide for that spec, all relevant to 5.4.8 Can't post link so Google this: warlock green fire demonology 5.4.8

Kommentar von Bthoven

Just wanted to share my experiences as this fight has changed quite a bit since patch 5.4 and some of the older posts, while still helpful, are no longer completely reflective of the fight as it is now.

First things first, anyone can do this provided you have a decent ilvl and are willing to be persistent. I boosted my warlock two weeks ago so the sum of my lock experience consists of solo leveling to 60 and two resets of SoO LFR. I had basically zero experience using most of the non-dps abilities this fight requires. Between Timeless Isle gear and LFR drops, my ilvl is currently 514. For what its worth, according to Recount my dps on my successful attempt was 109k and the fight lasted eight minutes.

I won't rehash the basic strategy as that is available here and many other places, but instead I will summarize the important things that I learned along the way.

Consumables
Don't be cheap! While this fight can be done without the use of food, flasks, potions etc there is no reason not to use them. Every little bit of extra dps helps and more damage equals a shorter fight, which means less time you have to successfully manage the various mechanics. Bite the bullet and stock up on the following:

Flask of the Warm Sun
Potion of the Jade Serpent (prepot just before fight)
Green Curry Fish
Drums of Rage
Purification Potion (to remove Curse of Ultimate Doom if needed)

Macros
Just like with consumable, this fight can be done without macros but they make things much easier - use them! There are lots of useful ones, but here are a few that I found especially helpful that aren't as widely talked about:

/script PetDismiss()

Did I mention I am a noob warlock? I wasn't sure how to cancel the enslave on the pit lord so I was happy when I found this macro for it.

/cast Incinerate
/cast Demonic Siphon
/petattack

/cast Immolate
/cast Fel Flame Breath
/petattack

This fight isn't about dps, it is about staying alive and quickly cleansing the dots he puts on you. Use these macros in place of your normal Incinerate and Immolate buttons. The 1st will have the pit lord cast his heal on you every time you cast Incinerate, which will remove much of the need to micro manage your health and healing. The 2nd will make the pit lord cast his Fel Flame on you, which clears the dots. Standing directly in front of Kanrethad will allow the breath to also damage the boss at the same time. I credit these two macros for allowing me to beat the boss. Before I found them I just kept repeating the scenario over and over, getting a little bit better each time at cleansing and healing while still juggling the various phases. I was slowly making progress, but it was a lot to keep track of and eventually I would be overwhelmed by the dots or adds. I killed him on my 2nd attempt after incorporating the two macros above and it was noticeably easier to manage everything.

/use Drums of Rage
/cast Unending Resolve
/cast Summon Doomguard
/cast Dark Soul: Instability
/cast Twilight Ward

This is a burst macro. I have seen some people use it at the start of the fight or the first Cataclysm, but I preferred to use it on the Cataclysm after the 2nd Fel Hunter phase. I didn't feel like I had the dps to down him before that anyway, so I wanted to save my burst for after I got past the most difficult phase and had the best chance of success. If your dps is strong and you aren't going to need to use a Purification Potion to remove Curse of Ultimate Doom then you can add the line /use Potion of the Jade Serpent for even more burst.

Don't Give Up!
If you are like me you are going to die a lot. I didn't keep track, but I would guess that it probably took me about 40 tries to successfully beat him. As I said before, I am a very inexperienced warlock with only decent gear. Don't get discouraged, but instead focus on trying to get better each time. When you start out you might get overwhelmed and not be able to cleanse the dots fast enough or the first wave of imps will eat you up. Eventually you will get better at that and then the fel hunters will come out and everything come crashing down etc. The first time I tried was a rude awakening, but after a half dozen or so tries I knew I would get him eventually. Just stick with it and continually look at ways to improve your strat. When you need a break, read an article or watch a video. That is how I ended up stumbling upon the two macros that helped me so much. Good luck!

Also don't forget, while this quest chain will still be available post 6.0 the Feat of Strength and 'of the Black Harvest' title will not be.

I just did this on my 481 ilvl warlock with only selfbuffs so it can be done!

Kommentar von testablewalnut

I gotta say that this quest is hard, but it's fun. I'm having a blast trying to get the end boss down. My best attempt so far is 2% with ilvl518 gear. I got excited when I saw that and missed LoSing a chaos bolt. With that said, I also think this quest made me a better Warlock.

edit - Added ilvl

Quest is bugged, either that or warlocks are bugged. You can soulstone before starting the event and resoulstone if you die and use it at any point during the encounter.

Kommentar von Suziekew

Has anyone completed this since the 6.02 patch? I need to do it but a lot of the spells mentioned no longer exist. I'm destruction and would really appreciate any information and successful strats before I try to tackle this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kommentar von rezzyk

I just completed this quest a few minutes ago. The first thing I want to say is that I still got the Breaker of the Black Harvest feat of strength and title, which I thought was not possible. Maybe it's still around until Warlords launches?

I was trying to do this quest pre-6.0 as a 520ish Destruction Warlock. I had a mix of Timeless, LFR, Ordos and Celestials gear. It went poorly. I never got him below 80%, and I made it to the fourth add phase once, third add phase twice. Otherwise I kept dying to the felhunters.

I decided I wanted to try this again, so I got myself to ilevel 548. I farmed frogs on Timeless Isle to get 2000 charms and upgraded all of my gear. I got the blue drops from the Blasted Lands quests. I bought the 535 trinket from Timeless Isle with all the coins I got while farming frogs. I got both Horseman rings. Then I went and got a normal Garrosh kill so I could get the heirloom weapon.

And let me tell you, this helped significantly. My first attempt without really setting anything up got him down to 20%. I then did terrible the next few attempts last night. This morning I downed him in two attempts. I know one of the complaints was that people with higher dps felt they were pulling threat off the Pit Lord. I did not notice anything differently from my pre-6.0 attempts with less gear. I also downed him in two add phases. Part of me feels like they added more time between add phases, I can't confirm this though.

Some things that definitely helped were:

- Green Curry Fish
- Flask of the Warm Sun
- Potion of the Jade Serpent
- Drums of War

Some Macros that are in other posts on here helped as well:

For the Pit Lord
/tar Pit Lord
/cast Enslave Demon
/tar kan

For the Doomguard (He wasn't even alive this long):
/cast Banish

To help with clearing off DOTs on you (The Pit Lords fire removes them if you get hit with it)
/cast Immolate
/cast Fel Flame Breath
/petattack

For getting heals from the Pit Lord
/cast Incinerate
/cast Demonic Siphon
/petattack

My winning attempt went like this:

I brought out my imp, soulstoned myself, flasked, ate the fish. Put down a demonic circle behind the pillar south-west of where the portal comes up (to block AOE for chaos bolt), and then put down a demonic gateway near the portal and then out a little bit.

I started up the fight, and right before combat began I blew the potion and the drums. I DPS'ed him until he started to summon the Pit Lord. Then I sacrified my imp and enslaved the pit lord, and kept dpsing, making sure to move out of Rain of Fire. When he cast chaos bolt I headed close to my circle and used the teleport option to get to it. Once there I waited out the chaos bolt, and also summoned a new circle (circle only lasts 6 minutes and the fight can last longer). I repeated that song and dance as much as necessary throughout the fight. I also had to manually cast Demonic Siphon from the Pit Lord a few times to heal, as well as Healthstone and Ember Tap.

When the imps were being summoned I did Soulshatter to reduce threat, then I dropped Rain of Fire on them (and kept recasting every 5 seconds) and also did Fire and Brimstone/Conflagrate.

When the felhunters were being summoned I told my Pit Lord to move as far away as he could. I then dps'ed down the felhunters, using any chaos bolts I had stored up. Luckily they didn't break my Enslave, which would have caused issues.

And then he was dead before the Doomguard came out. I knew if I got past the felhunters I'd beat him, since was falling pretty fast. And I didn't use my soulstone either.

One issue I'll mention is the imp that jumps on you broke my Enslave a few attempts last night, which never happened to me pre-6.0. Was annoying, but it didn't happen today.

Oh, and don't forget to interrupt his Cataclysm with the Pit Lord's charge! Happens between every add phase.

I don't usually write these guides, so hopefully this was somewhat helpful! Feel free to ask any questions :D

Kommentar von 1391040

Completed this today as Affliction, ilvl 573. Tried it numerous times before patch 6.0 but never came close to success, maybe the stat squish is to thank for this.

Here's how I did it:

Kanrethad came out, I burned him with all my normal dots, including Haunt. I also used Dark Soul: Misery for some added haste. He got down to a little under 70% on that initial burn, then he summoned the Pit Lord. On previous attempts, the Pit Lord would always stun me for about 5 seconds and throw fire damage as well right after entering the fight while I was trying to cast Enslave Demon, so on this attempt I used Mortal Coil as soon as he was targetable. While he was running in fear, I had just enough time to cast Enslave Demon to keep him occupied the rest of the fight beating on the boss rather than me.

A few seconds later, Kanrethad states he's really mad now and starts casting Chaos Bolt, which does a TON of damage when it hits. I popped Unending Resolve about 2 seconds before it hit me and it didn't hurt much at all. Switched to Drain Life for a bit while DOTs were running to help get a little health back.

Also run away from the big AOE he does when he runs to the middle circle area, and stay out of rain of fire when he casts it on your head.

He was going down pretty well at that time between my DOTs and the Pit Lord smacking him around, he was less than 40% or so when he summoned the 60 imps. Once they came out I used Mannoroth's Fury - Soulburn - Seed of Corruption and it dropped all but about 3 imps instantly, tossed Corruption on those 3 stragglers and they went down within a couple seconds.

By that time I saw things were going really well as he was around 20% and I still had most of my health so I summoned a Terrorguard for a little extra DPS and just kept hammering on him. He went down and never had a chance to summon the Felguards.

Once he gets to 1 HP, Jubeka Shadowbreaker will run in and banish him. Turn in the quest with her, then click on him to channel/absorb some of that sweet, delicious Fel energy (I clicked on him 3-4x just for the fun of it). You'll get the achievement once you leave the instance.

Kommentar von koujimoreno

Just a reminder, you get the title and achievement AFTER you leave the scenario.

Kommentar von Kiernan

There's only a few days left, but in the off chance that someone is desperately trying to finish (like I was yesterday), I thought I'd add the info that allowed me to finish.

If you die during the fight, your enslaved pit lord will keep fighting. If you've used up your soulstone and died again when Kanrethad is below 15%, do not release. Your pit lord will keep going, and you can still control his actions. Keep him fighting the boss and he should be able to finish it for you.

What happened to me was I died at 13%. The pit lord kept damaging Kan, so I figured it couldn't hurt to see if it would count if the pit lord finished the fight. The pit lord disappeared at around 1%, so I figured that it didn't work, but it turns out he disappeared because the fight was over.

When my PL despawned, I released thinking that I'd have to start from scratch, but then the "1/1 Objective Complete" message came up. Go up and click on Kan to get your green fire and click on the quest turn in. When you leave the instance, you'll get your achievement and your title.

Kommentar von 272781

Pro tip: Died at about 10-12% but the Pit Lord that you enslave still stays alive and the fight is still active which means that he can actually kill the boss. Just control him and you will be able to dps the boss down for his remaining HP. This only works if you manage to get past the Fel Hunter phase at least since they are the only ones that can dispel the enslave demon effect that is on the Pit Lord.

Kommentar von verduran

Just in case anyone is still trying this fight before WoD launches (Yeah, you can still get the title before expac hits), here is a short guide:

Preparation:
Destruction spec (just don't be Demo unless you're overgeared)
Grimoire of Sacrifice on your imp (for Singe Magic, must-have imo)
Enslave Demon minor glyph

Prior to the fight, soulstone yourself and drop a demonic circle behind one of the nearby pillar (make sure you'll be in range)

Boss :
1. Chaos bolt: If cast on you, port away and LoS the cast (Ignore if cast on your pit lord)
2. Cataclysm: Use your Pit Lord's charge to interrupt
* Use your Pit Lord's heal and breath attack as often as possible (keybind them if it suits you)
* Cast Singe Magic from command demon to cure Agony as often as possible (only 10sec CD)

Adds: (in order)
Pit Lord - Enslave it and send it to the boss
Imps - Rain of Fire, Shadowfury and Brimstone them down
Felhunters - Use your offensive and defensive cooldowns, Havoc + Chaos bolt and burn them down ASAP, then re-enslave your pit lord
Doomguard - Banish first wave and keep it banished; Fear second wave if you got that far.
Imps#2
Felhunters#2
Doomguard#2

With a few pieces from LFR and a heirloom weapon (I was at ilvl 523), I was able to finish it on my first try after specing Dest (failed a few times as Demo from Agony ticks).

Kommentar von Dawnrider

Even after 6.0. If you arent geared enough to down the Fel hunters the second they appear you will fail. No matter where the Pit Lord is put they de-enslave him.

Strategy on level 100: Nuke the boss, don't even look at the pit lord.

Just to make clear, while the kill at 100 is easy, you no longer get the green fire effects.

Kommentar von Marimen

I had the quest and was up to the final boss, but I didn't complete it. However, now I can't find the Black Temple. Since WoD I only see the Temple of Karabor. Any idea why? Or how to get in?

have done level 100 and i see black temple i think you look shadowmoon valley draenor instead outland lol

Kommentar von ricangsxrdude

Just finished at level 94 with 2 640 (chest/legs) and a 630 staff, rest of the gear was around 518 at the most. Anyways, I did the regular Demonic Circle behind the pillar/Demonic Gateway by his gateway. Ended up being just a DPS burn. Popped a Greater Draenic Intellect flask, dropped a Savage Feast, and popped an intellect pot right before engaging him. I kept my Voidlord out and both Kanrethad and the Pit Lord just stayed with him. Got to the fel stage and by the time they reached me, fight was over.

And make sure you walk to Kanrethad and click on him. Don't be a turd and bounce without clicking on him.

Kommentar von Shaitan051

For the looting part, nothing bad happens when the timer runs out. You just can't steal anymore.
Don't do what I did and try to get to the end before the timer runs out. just grab anything that isn't nailed down.

Kommentar von LadyWillpower

Here it is April 2016 and I am back to finish this last part of the quest. The mark of Jubeka is still on the door! Wish me luck. Remember do NOT enter BT through the side entrance into the sewers, for any of you out there also considering finishing this quest.

Kommentar von dexxter2010

If you still have this quest in your bags and never got around to finishing it earlier then as a level 110 Destruction warlock you can one shot everything including Kanrethad who is less a million health. The adds never appeared since he died so quickly. Nothing really touches you except the spirits in Stage 5 where the spirits still hit for about 1/3 of your health. They are only 11k or so and can be killed easily but don't let them touch you. I used my Eye of Kilrogg to find a path through. You won't get the Feat of Strength but you can finally have your green fire.

Kommentar von g90814

All of this strategy is pretty much pointless at 110, although I applaud all who did this before Legion :)

Killing the demon adds all the way through, and killing the Final boss is easy.

Tough part is the maze that Akama shows you: Just use Demonic Portal to jump your way past it, you'll need to repeat it about 3-4x to get across... use eye of Kilrogg to place raid markers, and then place portals... ez.

Kommentar von Greeny123

Just completed this quest today, for anyone who is interested the boss does not scale with your equipment, so you can easily kill it with your level 110 character.

1 Chaos Bolt & this fight is over. It's kind of sad this hasn't scaled & kept the title.

Kommentar von Eyecandy

If I wish to " No longer be tainted by this fell", can I get it back and off when ever I want to?

Kommentar von Drhankeey

Well they must've scaled something. I never finished the quest back in the day, but now I returned on my Warlock and leveled to 100. Before picking up my artifact I figured I'd just finish this. Should be easier now.

It's not, it's still a pain, just tried a few times and kept dying (even when following the strategies). As Demo I'm also not sure its good to enslave the pit lord cuz you lose your tank minion and I don't think Soul Link is working either (I was dropping health real quick). But I still need to make sure I got an interrupt for that Cataclysm, I wonder if Felguard's stun works.

So it scales, 600 ilvl at 100 and still undoable so far. I'll get him sometime later at 110 with proper gear

Kommentar von Malachi68

The absolute most important piece of information is this:

IT IS NOT IN THE BLACK TEMPLE RAID!

Don't enter the raid, instead go the the main door. Activate the door and you'll enter the scenario.

Tip: To get to the Reliquary of souls, dismiss your demon. It sets off the traps and you'll be quickly killed by the ghosts (yes, even you level 110, iLvl 1000 guys). Use the Eye of Kilrogg often and move in steps.Use Demonic Gateway when you're close to the ramp going down.

All the other mobs and bosses are easy peasy at level 110.

Kommentar von Dustyti

Kommentar von Wyle1

7/20/2018 completely broken. Hungering Soul Fragments, when they hit, hit you for 400k damage. Overtuned and you cannot make it down the hallway.

Kommentar von dccr

7/22/2018 - Easily soloed, everything dies in one hit. I used my eye of kilrogg to detect the traps in the hallway with the soul fragments, so those might still one-shot you. Be careful not to aggro the patrols in stage 2, their hex lasted until I logged off for > 20 min when I tried to fight one.

Kommentar von neoshade75

The whole scenario and quest are really easy. I was a 114 demo spec. The only part that sucked was the maze in the scenario. You have to see it with the Eye of Kilrogg. If you or a minion, including the Eye, touch the invisible maze, a spirit shows up, attacks you for a lot of damage, and you will die. Luckily you can kill these spirits very easily. Use Soulstone on yourself, cause if you die, you start outside, at the very beginning of the scenario, and have to run back to where you left off.

Once you get through the maze, you fight some demons, all of them can be one shot. Before you get to the NPC you're supposed to talk to, dismiss your minion. After talking to him, follow him. He will go through a door you will not be able to go through. Instead, your imp will show up and tell you to go looting. Accept the quest that pops up. If a quest window doesn't pop up, walk to the hallway, it should pop up. Go through the hallway to the right of the door you can't go through. You will see little silver gems on the floor, take them. Follow these till you get to the end, turn right and go up the stairs to a plush place full of things to loot and demons to kill. Just loot what you can and follow the layout till you reach a chest with a question mark. Then you're done. Go through the door on your right, I believe, and up the stairs, now you can one shot the boss and get your green fire.

Full disclosure, you don't get the title or feat of strength achievement. The only thing that turns green is your Felsteed, Dreadsteed, and Destruction abilities. As far as I know, nothing in Demo or Afflic changes to green - only Destro. So, up to you if you think it's worth the trouble. At the very least it's a warlock quest that not all warlocks have done and it offers some lore for our class. Good luck!

i did the whole raid to discover that i shouldn't have done it :)

f*ck

Contrary to popular belief, BT`s main entrance is not the Raid`s entrance.
Use this instead:

/way 72.88, 44.11

Kommentar von GilblinStalker

Once you do the maze, a tip is while you scout the way with eye of kilrogg, put markers where to run. Worked perfectly for me. once you get more deeper in the maze, remove the old markers and put new ones. Good luck!

As of Shadowlands Pre-Patch you can now start this quest chain at level 35, however I do not believe it's actually possible to complete the scenario at that level. The Essence of Order miniboss was seemingly impossible at this level, I just didn't have the AoE capabilities to kill all the adds while also healing myself and my voidwalker. I guess I'll try again at level 50.

Kommentar von Stripe

I tried this at 40 after the Shadowlands Pre-patch and was destroyed. I was using all heirlooms so I'm not sure what I was expecting, but at least wanted to give it a shot. I came back soon after hitting 50 with an ilvl of 73. Ebonlocke spawned as level 120 so I thought I was done for again. I cast two dots on him and he was done. He shows as a 120 but his scaling is much much lower.

The rest of the questline is doable at a low level (40), but it was a challenge from the maze on to the last boss. The gold grab gauntlet was pretty fun at a low level, I kept enslaving the Elite felguards and pushed through with them. My own Blueberry pet was useless.

Kommentar von SlammaJamma

As of Shadowlands pre-patch I can confirm that this can be done at low lvl 40's. I was lvl 41 with full heirlooms on and some lvl appropriate quest/dungeon gear.

* I spoke to Chromie to return me back to normal time before attempting/completing the scenario.*

I was able to kill Kanrethad in about 6-7 spells including DoT's, used a void pet (probably didn't need to use that) and the whole scenario took me 34 mins to complete because I hadn't done it since MoP.

Good luck my fellow Warlocks!

Kommentar von Zyprez

So after reading comments about not being able to kill boss at level 40 and i should talk to Chromie before doing it, i went ahead anyways.
I did not need to talk to Chromie to enter instance.
I was able to kill boss at level 40.
I had tried the scenario before, and completed all of it, just not the boss. So i got teleported instantly to the boss, and was able to kill him and get my green flame.

Kommentar von black0ni

Wanted to help pass by the 3 guards o the start of the scenario! Just use the succubus to Seduce the middle one and you can pass by easily.

Kommentar von Kyulan

Strong recommendation on using demonic gateways instead of raid markers. I kept triggering soul traps even though I was almost certain I did not step on them. Not sure though if my demons triggered them?

Kommentar von Jkizis

Enough info on each boss. very nice. but I have a question that I can't seem to find a direct answer to. Can a non-DK do this scenario? or does it have to be done via questline? only asking cause there are some drops I was hoping to get. And scenarios in MoP are queable so was hoping we had some in Legion other then raids.

Kommentar von iapage345

all i had left was the final part, infiltrating the black temple. I went to the gate, pressed jubeka's symbol and began the scenario, armed for bear. Went in clicked the demonic soulwell, kanrethad ebonlocke came out and held me captive. Then Jubeka ran out and subdued Kanrethad. I clicked kanrethad and got green fire (aka The Codex of Xerrath). No more fighting for it. The quest line might still need to be done but the final fight is no more.

Kommentar von Chizwick

The quest's minimum level at the time of this writing is 35, however I highly recommend you come back at 60.

I managed to get to the final stage with a bit of a struggle, but the last fight is probably unbeatable until 60. I had maybe 4k health at level 35 and the boss had 158k and was "level skull." His Pit Lord add was level 36 and had over 100k health on its own. Maybe you might have the patience for it, but I'll wait until I can steamroll this content at max level.

Kommentar von Birdman3310

As of 9.2 There is nothing difficult about this really. Are soul traps gonna three shot you? Yeah. But this is easy especially at level 60, you just one shot everything.

Step 1 - have your pet go kill the mobs with red rings around them, so you can avoid annoying net they trap you in for like 20 seconds if you kill them yourself.

Step 2 - Dismiss your pet. Once you have Akama, use your eye of kilrog, summon it, see the souls / safe path, dismiss eye and move ...summon eye...see path...dismiss...move ... pretty easy... wait for the NPCs to talk for a while, one shot the boss that spawns, loot it. takes a couple minutes.

Step 3 - Skip all the plundering crap. Just run up to the Matron Boss and loot the chest.

Step 4 - Summon your pet if you want, doesn't matter. One shot the boss. Once the NPC runs in and you can click on the boss and channel his energy...do so.

The whole thing takes idk...10-15 minutes?

The end.

If anyone is having issues with the seeing souls pathway, turn off your pets. Pets trigger those spirits and kill you fast, even if you are on the pathway!

Kommentar von Reeltreble

Level 50 (110) Demonology Warlock - unable to get through the traps (Hall of Anguish) portion of the Scenario even with minion dismissed & using Eye of Kilrogg. Fel Imp Guardians are the ones triggering the traps and unable to fully dismiss them as this class of Warlock? Also, took on huge amounts of damage from triggered soul fragments, often mobbed and died many, many times. Tried portals with same toon, same outcome. Mobbed and died. Frustrated, I abandoned the quest.

Kommentar von thatguy8878

This would be very possible at 35(old 90) now, being able to talent into all required spells. However, Grimoire of Sacrifice is unfortunately removed by Subjugate Demon, because somehow changing the name from the less PC Enslave Demon bugged out that interaction, meaning you can no longer sac your Imp for Singe Magic, meaning you have to clear the 2 DoTs with Felfame Breath, while also managing Chaos Bolt, Cataclysm, and the summons.

Kommentar von S4m0th

As in 10.0.5 nothing really complicated :

Blast until the phase which orders you to investigate the reliquary after you've spoken to Akama.
1) Dismiss your pet, kill mobs you can reach, bind Eye of Kilrogg (i'll name it EOK), clic and then you'll be able to see the traps.
2) Put a Soulstone onto you because you can die at lvl 70, make Healthstones.
3)Move / EOK / Move / EOK / Move / EOK (rinse and repeat) to be able to see the traps and do not trigger them, if you do : autohit with right click on ghosts, then healthstone.
4) Move VERY carefully because this phase is not a speedrun. Summon the EOK as much as you need.
5) When you'll face a slope, the hell is over.

After, blast until last phase and enjoy your new WILDFIRE TO DESTROY KING'S LANDING.
Oops sorry, wrong universe :D

Kommentar von Apacolypse

As of right now - day 2 of 10.1.5 - stage 5 seems to be bugged and you are unable to progress. Done this 4 times now and picking up the Empowered Soulcore does not give completion for the objective. Gone slow, quick, turned off auto-loot, nothing works.

Kommentar von Nastrodamus

I don't recommend doing this immediately at level 35 once the quest becomes available. The last boss is quite difficult. Based on other comments, wait until you are in your 40's.
Edit: level 42 was a 3-shot.

Kommentar von scharky

patch 10.1.5, you want the "real" entrance, not the old entrance we're all used to.

/way 72.88, 44.11

don't be a derp like me, standing there drooling down my shirt saying "durr, why no mark on raid entrance door?" :x

Kommentar von Svandir

The point of the maze section blowing up if your pets touch it, including both the wild imps and the eye of kilrogg, is presumably to stop you from clearing a path and walking through it to victory. This is a failiure of game design, because the traps already respawn far faster than you could walk through the gap made without being gibbed when they respawn. This means this interaction does not succeed in punishing players trying to manually clear through the maze, but instead, punishes players who summon the eye and have it spawn inside a trap (that they cannot see) and explode and die.

This is bad design.

Conversely, the Demonic Gateway does not work for 90% of the maze, as passing through traps still blows you up. Except at the last section, which is the hardest, where I was able to gateway through unharmed. This is not telegraphed, explained, or otherwise made sense of. This is also bad game design. Also, the respawn point is right. at the start. of the scenario. This, believe it or not, is also bad game design.

Every other part of this scenario is wonderful, interesting, lore-rich and really fun. But this one, single section feels like a giant middle finger of !@#$-you for no other reason than being artificially hard and punishing anyone who doesn't realise that being demonology here is like dragging your ass through broken glass because your PASSIVE IMPS BLOW YOU UP.

I do not like this maze.

Kommentar von Keehl8104

Completed today on 10.1.7. If you are leveling a lock and do this quest while leveling in another timeline, talk to Chromie and return to present to make the last boss doable.

Kommentar von Haesulla

I JUST finished the trap maze part with my lock...
It was kind of annoying for sure.
When you use Eye of Kilrog you surely can see traps but it disappears within few seconds after you exit the eye patrol.. and apparently spamming Eye of Kilrog spell itself could trigger the trap depending on where the eye is gonna be spawned by you.
After I failed 2 or 3 times by "Oops! the eye of Kilrog spawned on trap" accident, I decided to use the function that you can put marks on the floor (you know, that many people using during raid and m+...etc) and so I could still see the way after I exit Eye of Kilrog.

That helped me a lot!
So if anyone struggling to go through the maze, I strongly recommend to use those floor marking function! Good luck!

Kommentar von drdoomt3

I bought 5 of these tomes off the AH because they were dirt cheep. So now I have done this quest 5 times for all my warlocks.

Kommentar von Solloby

Some notes after completing this:

You need to turn off Chromie Time before attempting the final boss, turning it off more than halved his HP.
You can leave the scenario and log off, then return later. It will teleport you to the correct stage.
For the Akama hallway, ditch your demons so they don't trigger the traps.
For the Essence of Anger, it won't spawn the fire if you stand far enough back which makes the encounter trivial.
It's ok if you don't make the timer for the looting stage, you don't have to start again so don't stress too hard.
The final boss's scaling appears to be broken, he was very hard at 38 and very easy at 42.

At level 38 the final boss did way too much damage, the dot he put on me wasn't survivable.
But when I came back at level 42 for another try, my spells suddenly did massive damage and he died before the Pit Lord was even summoned.
So if you are struggling with this scenario, gaining a couple of levels and upgrading a few pieces of gear will significantly decrease the difficulty.
