TheWoWDBIf, for whatever reason, you can't figure out how to get past the grabby hands, you need to cast Death Grip, and bring him to you. I'm not sure if there are alternate methods, but that worked for me. (Popping Anti-Magic Shell and making a mad charge for the other side only resulted in death.)

Pity they used the same scenario for multiple classes.
Anyone else stuck on this quest in Legion Remix, or find a fix? I did the whole scenario but "Defeat the Dark Riders" never completed even after wielding Apocalypse. I tried resetting and doing it again but no success, and I'm unable to abandon the quest to restart it.
edit: Killing the boss slowly seemed to work on the 3rd time I tried. I just let my ghoul do all the work.

Description
The catacombs? I've never heard of such a place. Unless, he means... There's a sewer grate along the edge of the river leading to a catacombs underneath Karazhan. I've never paid it much attention, but it could lead to the catacombs that the spirit spoke of. To think, the Dark Riders may have been under our noses this entire time! Come, let us see where this leads.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Grisly Task
Wet soil? Shallow graves? I think the journal is referring to the gravesites off of the lake near Karazhan. Nobody knows who is buried there, but they may be the key to finding the Dark Riders. You can... speak to the dead, yes?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Call of Vengeance
I was wrong about you, death knight. Your assistance against the Dark Riders has proven a great service to the Light. Perhaps I should not be so quick to judge. Nevertheless, you have allowed me to fill my purpose in returning these artifacts to their rightful owners.
