Kommentar von AtoMiC

This guy is pretty easy to take down with a 5 man group, he has around 40k health and spawns adds, just keep the tank healed and a mage or warlock would be needed to aoe the adds. If you stand at the back of his little room you can avoid his aura :)

Kommentar von 2698

Notice that if you do not kill the adds, each will heal him for a certain amount 10 seconds after they're spawned - a mage is preferred if not a must in this situation.
Shadow resist buff is also really nice, either from priest or paladin.

Kommentar von ataylor

The two main things to consider in this fight are:

His damage aura. Every couple of seconds, everyone in range takes shadow damage. Casters can stay out of range if the tank keeps him on the far side of the room. Use shadow resist buffs if you got em. The Felstone Good Luck Charm from the Better Late Than Never quest line in WPL is handy to have here too.

The skeletons that get spawned. Make sure you take them down fast, otherwise they heal the Baron. Stratholme Holy Water is perfect, but a mage with Arcance Explosion is just as good.

Dosn't he drop an epic mount?

Kommentar von 8237

When you first enter the room note that he has a Shadow Damage Aura that covers almost the entire room, Healers/Ranged Classes should stand at the bottom left side of the room by the bone pile there. The tank should fight him up against the Top right wall so that the shadow damage aura doesn't hit the healers/ranged classes.

He hits fairly hard and has Mortal Strike himself and also summons skeleton adds fairly often.

The Skeletons adds he summons have about 400 HP and if they aren't killed within 10 seconds he consumes them and gains HP. If you are allowing skeletons to be consumed by him you will probably lose via your healer going OOM. A Mage is the best way to deal with the adds with Arcane Explosion, but Stratholme Holy Water found in crates around the instance will kill a group of them. Warlocks can also AOE them down too easily.

When the Skeletons summon they usually run to the healer pretty quickly so make note of that too.

Other than the skeletons its a pretty easy and straight forward fight.

Kommentar von OverlordQ

It's also a good idea to give your tank a couple Strat Holy Waters just in case the casters can't get the skeletons in time. It saved our hides a couple nights ago. Baron was down to 1.1k health, nobody had mana, and the skeletons were about to regen him, so I popped a strat holy water that killed the skeles and crit Baron for his 1.1k hit points.

Anyone who has the Medallion of Faith (which is picked up in Archivist Galford's room in Strat SC, or can be found at times in the AH), can turn it in at the building just after you enter the UD instance. When you reach the Baron, you get an extra person to help :) Also, each party member can collect the reward after your 6th member perishes.

The strategy we've used, with excellent success, is as follows: buff up outside, then the tank will go into the room and hug the right wall, while the rest go left and stand on the bone piles. This will keep you out of the aura, and still maintain range. Once ready, the tank (ideally warrior, but can be done with a Feral Druid, or Pally) charges into the Baron. Providing the tank can hold him still, you won't need to worry about the aura. The healer should be primarily concerned about keeping the tank alive, while the rest concentrate on the Baron and adds. As mentioned above, a Mage or Warlock is ideal for the AoE on the skellies, so they die before the Baron can heal from them. However, a Pally's consecrate, and Holy Water can also work.

(the last time I ran it, we used the Medallion for the first time, and either we had a LOT of power, or it really did help with the guy who comes to your aid, as I believe only one wave of skellies even spawned before the Baron had fallen.)

Anybody had any experience taking this guy out at level 70? If so, how many does it take? Would 2 druids and a rogue do fine (a tank, a healer, and dps)?

Kommentar von LordPlague

Soloed him several times with my 70 fury warrior, only problem is the swarms of undead that comes after ramstein is slain, baron is just charge, thunderclap, demo shout + 5 sunders then pop recklessness and deathwish and beat the crap out of him, be ready with health pot or lifegiving gem tho as he hits kind of hard. :)

Kommentar von MetalGenocide

Does anyone know what armor 'set' he is wearing?

Kommentar von zdravko

For baron rivendare fight it is important to know that adds heal the baron and attack your healer! And by the way you must be exalted with argent down for the mount to drop.

Kommentar von 78626

I guildy has been farming him for a while for the mount, the Runeblade of Baron Rivendare dropped from him the other night.

Kommentar von dogman1

5 months of farming this guy for the mount and it dropped. I didn't get it but what the hell. I still feel it was worth while. My friend won it and even though he doesn't use it any more (he thinks he looks stupid on it as a nelf). I was still was happy to see it drop. we 2-manned it 3 times a night 4 times a week. I'm a gnome rogue and he's a nelf feral druid (duh!).

Anyway i hope this help motivate fellow farmers out there. It does drop still =D

btw, not sure what sword folks are talking about but the only sword i saw drop was skullfire reaver or something and it dropped almost a dozen times and was sharded through out the months of farming. Is it a rare drop?

Kommentar von 18253

Quite simply, this is one of the rarest items in the entire game. That includes legendary loot droprates. Do not be surprised if you never even see this item in your entire WoW career.

Even with its farmable status amongst the new level 70 playerbase, it has only become more rare because of the lack of knowledge of pre-BC instances.

Good luck, you're going to need it.

Kommentar von 25840

Does anybody know if the baron can be done solo with a 70 char?

Kommentar von 99249

Baron Rivendare is doable as a lvl 70 Frost Mage.
I sort of was bored, I so decided to Solo Strath. Killed everything in Living side (Including the Dreadlord) and went to Undead side. Everything was well, till I met The baron. I managed to kill him on my third try.

If you ever attempt to kill him do it like this :

Start off with your main nuke(Frostbolt, duh) And let your pet attack. Camp your pet in one corner of the room, and go to the other side of the room. Just spam him with instants, and make sure you're always above 50%. When baron casts Shadowbolt you cast a frostbolt, when he gets close to you, Ice block, bandage/evocation and let the pet die. Cold snap and resummon, and do the same. Should be easy!

(The damn magister pants didn't drop -.-')

Kommentar von Skullraze

Soloable as a AR/Prep rogue (swords).

Kommentar von 102788

so... on WoWhead the drop % of the Deathcharger's Reins is shown as being super low.. but on the Atlas loot mod it says the drop % is .1%, and on WiWwiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/Deathcharger's_Reins) it says .01% And on WoWAmory (http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=13335)it is listed as "Extremely Low (1% - 2%)". What is right?

Kommentar von 17624

The drop rate is actually LESS than 0.1%, but most places don't track at such low levels.

The short answer don't expect to EVER see this drop, and if you do, you probably should roll need, because everyone else will;)

Kommentar von 69921

I've solod him many times as a frost mage, very difficult and can be hairy if he resists a frostbolt or something, has lots of hp and hits extremely hard. (Ms crits for 2 k +)

Kommentar von 61566

Soloed 45 min run as a balance druid in S2/S3 gear. Important points are to use treants to help with the AoE packs before Baron. Do not use treants on the Banshee boss in order to avoid the mind control. Kill the adepts on the stairs leading to the third mini boss as quickly as possible, to avoid siphon soul. When fighting the Baron use Barskin + Hurricane on first skeleton summon then use your holy water on the second wave - this is enough time to kill him.

Kommentar von SeanDamnit

Solo'd as a 70 frost mage in mostly S1 welfare pvp gear. Had about 8700 HP/Mana. Just try to bounce threat back and forth using your water elemental and iceblock and he goes down pretty easily. It would be significantly easier if you had 2 piece T4 for the un-interruptible frostbolt, but 5 points in improved arcane missles will do the trick as well. I didn't have T4 at the time.

Note that there is a shadow aura that ticks once every 2 seconds. You will resist this the majority of the time. Because of that, I found it useful to have points in Magic Absobtion for a shit ton of mana regen. I had 3/5 points in it and got about 260 mana returned per tick. That's 650 Mp5, and made mana a complete non-issue.

Kommentar von Vigholm

Soloed as a 17/0/44 mage just 30 minutes ago...

Think I am catching the drift of how to kill him. So yeh, will try out to kill him again and maybe start farming if it proves out to be possible on constant basis.

Thanks to woks for tips on how to handle him.

Kommentar von Squirrely

To solo as a feral druid, I had to let rage build between skeleton waves and swipe swipe swipe when they showed up. Was close each time but they should die right before he uses dark pact on them. A close fight.

Kommentar von Vigholm

I've been farming this boss for couple of days now, not very intensively, like 1-2 times per day or so (because I've been farming Scholomance aswell, for d1 set pieces).. It makes a huge money, was 180g couple of days ago, 1400g now after spending alot of money on random items, pots, elixirs, all that... All the money purely from DEing items that drop from Scholo and Strat.. So it's really worth it.

Baron feels quite easy to me by now.. Today I killed him, leaving me alive with 5700 health (and 0 mana ;o) but yeah.. It's hugely based on luck, and timing. Sometimes I wipe on him due to going OOM, and most of the time it's when he is at around 1-5% health, so crits make a difference.

Kommentar von Yankee

I wonder why the mount isnt shown? well for those who cant find it, its called Deathcharger's Reins

Kommentar von 52757

Just soloed as a raid-specced Combat Rogue.

To get to him, avoid the very large group of non-elite undead mobs and take the patrol of elites, using cooldowns to kill them all before vanishing. Climb down just at the edge of Baron's room and wait for cooldowns.

Cloak of Shadows and run in to avoid a tick of the aura and Garotte. Blow all CDs except for Blade Flurry and burn him down: when the first wave of skeletons appears, wait for them to gather at Baron and use Blade Flurry. I had to use a Holy Water for a second wave of adds but with better gear you could get away with one wave.

Finished with 1400/9000 hp. Didn't drop reins :(

Kommentar von Meeran

Easy soloed as lvl 70 BM hunter with pvp gear.
Only have pet on Baron and have mend pet up all time.
And use explosion trap for the skeletons.
Not hard at all :)

Kommentar von Propane

I'm a little late to the party, but a way of cheapening this fight is to get shadow resists up - via Priest buff or Pally aura (they don't stack) - which will lower the shadow damage aura, if not full resist it.

Another neat trick is to get a Mage to Dampen Magic everybody, lowering the damage even further. You may be thinking 'But that will lower healing taken too much!' Well, yes and no. On the one hand it will lower healing taken, but with the Shadow resist and Dampen, the group needs significantly less healing, making the healer's life much easier.

This works wonders on both Lord Alexi Barov and Baron Rivendare.

Kommentar von VooktaVelen

64 baron kills thru side door run & still no beast pants dropped :( I got the worst luck ever, how ever his mount did drop and i lost the roll.

Kommentar von 145116

As a feral druid, I am have been soloing this isntance for some week now. I run through all instance in catform until Rammsterin the Gorger (and for some second to kill those roaches between the 2 portcullis). Just kill 3 minibosses wihtout touching any other mob (they don't even bring you under 70% of your health), then skip Barthilas and kill all abominations. From Rammstein to Baron just stay in Bearform. You can easily end the whole instance in around 30 minutes or less. It is around 50 g each run from blues and greens (thoday 2 identical abominations I killed with a swipe dropped me 2 valor belts!)

Kommentar von veno3

70 Frost Mage -

Pretty much start in the left corner, pop elemental, trinket + icy veins.
Iceblock after a bit so he goes for your pet then move into the other corner and start nuking him again. Arcane Explosion/CoC should have the adds sorted.

Also if you have 'Magic Absorption' talent you will get a nice mana return from resisting his aura (i was getting around 400mp5).

All about timing really, first try got him to 8%.. then dead with 600hp at the end :>

Kommentar von 121748

see my post in ramstein the gorger comments.

baron is also soloable like this, doesn't rely on blazing speed though. and that definately needs a pot.

Kommentar von 164530

Can be soloed by a warlock (I am my own breed of SL/SL). I have 2/5 vengeful, full gladiator's otherwise. Some Kara epics.

Baroness Anastari
Sac/dismiss your pet to avoid mind-control and use Shadow Ward. You'll resist 80-90% of her attacks.

Rat traps
I have siphon life so I just target as many rats as possible and cast it. You will die here if you try to cast Seed of Corruption.

Nerub'enkan
He can hit kind of hard and those spiders he spits out at you suck and interrupt drain life, so it's best to let the voidwalker tank it and dps him down nice and slow. He hasn't really been a problem for me.

Caster packs
These guys can own you if you're not careful. DoT them up, Shadow Ward and cast fire spells to burn them down (I believe they have some form of shadow absorb/resist because my drain life is absorbed throughout the fight sometimes).

Maleki the Pallid
He's pretty easy. Casts frostbolt and sometimes turns you or your pet into blocks of ice. I've never had a problem with him.

Magistrate Barthilas
I see this guy causing a problem as he hits pretty damn hard. When I was attempting to get the key to the city solo (before he runs away to his second spot), I died over and over and was never able to get him down. Try to burn him down as soon as you lose aggro from your voidwalker and spam drain life while refreshing dots.

Abominations
Pull the ghouls outside of the aboms room because they randomly aggro sometimes. Once inside the aboms area, go ahead and pull one at a time. Cast a seed of corruption on the spawned ooze before the bile spewer dies. When the other oozes spawn (upon his death) the seed will pop and good times will be had by all.

Ramstein the Gorger
Same strat as Magistrate. (See alternate strategy below.)

Lots of adds
Park your voidwalker close to the door where the adds spawn before you kill Ramstein. It is VERY important that your VW gets aggro and not you. Once the packs start arriving at your voidwalker, Seed of Corruption the hell out of them - you need at least 4 or 5 seeds. If you have stragglers, use a Stratholme Water. (See alternate strategy below.)

5 elite adds
These are easier than I thought they would be. Have your pet aggro all 5. Cast Curse of Weakness on all of them. Get one add on you, DoTted up, ASAP. Then burn another one. Heal your pet if you need to to aggro more of them. It's easy as long as your pet doesn't tank all 5.

Put your pet on passive and head to baron. Shadow Ward, run inside. Let your VW tank baron. Keep Curse of Weakness up at all times, as well as Siphon Life. Your main damage will be from drain life or shadow bolt (or corruption, whatever you wish). Just don't pull aggro off of your VW. Don't heal your pet when he summons the adds or they will aggro you. Cast Seed of Corruption on him when he summons his adds and drain life until it pops. If he resists, use a water.

Good luck!

Alternate strategy:
Kill the last abomination right up by the door on the slaughterhouse. As soon as he dies, Ramstein will open the door. Run inside and kill him in there. BEWARE! As soon as Ramstein dies, the 5 elite adds will spawn and aggro. If you can survive this, do it this way because you avoid all the little aholes that spawn after Ramstein dies.

Alternate strategy #2:
Take your voidwalker to the west gates in the slaughterhouse area and put him on stay. Have him tank Ramstein there. As soon as Ramstein dies, use an invisibility potion. Your voidwalker will get aggro from all of the non-elite adds and this gives you ample time to cast seed of corruption. I was going to test a Flask of Petrification? but tried this first and it worked wonderfully! This is by far the easiest way to overcome the non-elites. The lesser and regular invisibility potions share the same cooldown timer of 10-minutes.

Just soloed as mm hunter.
basic tactics: lay down explosive trap as soon as you engage him (this will quickly aoe first pack of adds and sooner you place it sooner your cooldown will be over) basicly nuke him but make sure pet stays alive he hitted my pet ~70 (not counting aura dmg) but i still found a problem to keep him alive.
when 2nd wave of adds spawn just nuke em with volley and replace traps as soon as your cooldown is over.. ignore 4th pack (by then pet should be almost dead nuke him and when he dies fd and adds will despawn..

all the trash to rivendare can be fd stealthed and minibosses are tank and spank (exept banshee she'll make you kill your pet) one of the hardest spots are 5 elites who spawn after you kill aoe pack. before they spawn dismiss your pet place ice trap in one side of the room wait till some of em gets trapped and others will run to other side of room and kill it while they come to you.. freeze one more and nuke other 3 (they doint have much hp)

i found it pretty easy only died 1 time in entire room clearing all UD bosses when fd was resisted 2 times in a row

gl :)

Kommentar von Kiliana

'Soloed' by dual boxing a Demo Sac Warlock and Resto Druid.
Similiar strat for a solid AoE class: DPS until skeles spawn, HoT up the druid and let the skeles go on him, AoE them down (one seed for a 1200 sp dmg lock), took a little time with pushback and hard MS/melees from Baron but otherwise simple enough.

(Druid was T4/ZA/KZ and Lock is T5/ZA/Badge)

Kommentar von 174673

Probably a noob question but I decided to start farming this guy for a chance at the mount but when I make it in to the slaughterhouse and kill all the abominations nothing happens. Ramstein isn't there and the Barons door is closed. So I end up locked in that area with nothing to kill and the only way out is to hearth. What do I have to do to get Ramstein to show up and Barons door to open?

he appear on the necropolis above ebon hold so is he gona be removed form start or is he gonna be on 2 places at the same time like the lich king.

Kommentar von 171565

Solo 70 ret Paladin. S2 gear.
Make sure you have:

Lay on Hands cooldown
Divine Shield cooldown
Holy water cooldown
Health pot or Healthstone (pref. both)

Key points:

Survivability: this is a mana/health fight for ret pallys. Use simple skills like SoC judge and refresh, and crusader strike. Don't waste mana on Exorcism, you will need mana to heal and kill adds. Unpredictability of SoC proc means some fight will be easy, some will almost kill you; I range between having to use LoH and almost dying, and not using LoH at all. How long it takes to bring down Baron will dictate how many times you will need to consecrate to kill the skeleton adds once you're burnt your holy water cooldown. Never use all your mana to heal, save some to cast consecrate (rank 5), LoH when you are below 5% health, any lower and an unlucky shadow bolt can clean you off.
Shadow Resist Aura: a poorly resisted shadow bolt can hit for 1500+ even at 70. Not to mention the constant drain from his shadow aura.
Watch out for Mortal Strike: Randomly cast by boss. Best time to heal is when you have a mortal strike on you with 2-3 seconds left, because it'll run out by the time you finish casting heal, and chances of it refreshing instantly are low. Do Not heal, pot, healthstone, or LoH when mortal strike is on. This slip up can wipe you depending on how unlucky you are.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got Lightforge Legplates last night on Khaz'Gorath with the best PUG ever! I tanked Baron, Mage did AOE for skellies, Priest healed, Hunter did ranged attack and Rogue DPS'ed.

1 x Paly (Me)
1 x Hunter
1 x Mage
1 x Priest
1 x Rogue

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Out of all the bosses from the 5 man dungeons I think this one is hardest, but also the most enjoyable.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We have run this run 2-4 times now and that gate after Magistrate Barthilas wont open what is wrong ?

Kommentar von hordesuck1

Tried doing this fight with the following:
-59 rogue (average leveling gear)
-60 rogue (had most bis for rogues)
-59 holy paladin (good gear)
-60 fury warrior (tank, great gear with shadow resist)
-60 warlock (good gear with a few raid pieces)

....and it was disastrous it took us 8 tries and the farthest we got was 20% hp. At one stage we attempted to get the baron's unholy aura (27y) and the pally's shadow resist (30y) at a perfect spot but that had little effect. The biggest issue we had was the adds running to the tank and then running all the way to the heals. The tank tried applying 5 stacks of sunder while the rogue popped all his CDs (40% total party damage) but it didn't help because the baron would just consume one or two of the remaining skeletons and get his health right back up. We tried leaving the 59 rogue with the healer and the warlock but he couldn't get the skeletons down fast enough. All and all, lesson learned next time we'll make sure to bring at least 2 ranged dps (or at least get some better geared players).
