This quest seems to have been implemented rather lazily. Patches will lose more health than, and he will only deal minimal damage to, Sabnok, yet the Doctor just ... falls over dead at 97%. Couldn't they have given Patches an Enrage or something to make it more believable? Anything would have done.

Just don't do what I did, which was to panic when I saw Patches dying and to run away, fearing that the good Doctor might come after me next. Had to repeat it to get credit.

Description

So they've been embedding these ghouls with broken shards of saronite down in the Sanctum of Reanimation? We must put a stop to this, before these ghouls can be deployed against our troops. Find the entrance to the Sanctum of Reanimation in the flesh giant lab area of the Fleshwerks. There, the ghoul mastermind, Doctor Sabnok, keeps the most fearsome of his creations, Patches. Free Patches from his chains and help him take his revenge on the doctor. Let his own creation be his undoing.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Runesmiths of MalykrissIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Those shards you recovered can only have come from one place, Malykriss. It's the seat of the Lich King's metalworking operations, to the east of Corp'rethar. What's puzzling is that metal isn't needed to stitch together abominations or flesh giants, or to summon skeletal servants.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • By Fire Be PurgedIcecrown · Level 25-30

    The Scourge uses our own fallen against us, by raising them as ghouls or skeletons, or by dismembering their corpses and using the parts to make abominations. This must stop! The dead are heroes who fell in defense of all the living, and they cannot be confined to so grisly a fate.
