Oops, wrong weapon equipped...

I started "The Dead and the Damned" as my second Artifact and accidently started the quest without an appropriate weapon, only a fishing pole...

Needless to say, it was slow and didn't go well.

So I decided to leave the quest instance by walking back to the instance start area and catching a ride on Zeomus the mount back to Dalaran. I then picking up an old DK tanking weapon I had in the bank and was able to return to the instance by catching [npc=102403] again from Krasus Landing in Dalaran...

Have fun out there.

This is Blood Death Knight quest for [item=128402]. It's a long scenario, it consists of 10 stages:

Ride Zeomus, as you arrived to an island, follow the path up and pass through the portal.


  1. Follow the road up to Baron Sliver, slay Jailer to make baron free.

  2. Follow Baron Sliver until you stuck at the green power barrier.

  3. Protect him while he's disabling the barrier.

  4. You have to find a tower at 37.9 47.1 point, where Dagnar Stonebrow is, also dont run before Sliver, you anyway will have to wait him.

  5. Find [npc=102304] and loot [npc=102955] from his body.

  6. Get back to Dagnar Stonebrow and free him, there comes long dialogue.

  7. Follow npc's to the Citadel, use [spell=212552] ability to cross fel ground. As you found another barrier, Baron Sliver will disable it again, but this time fighting mobs will be much harder.

  8. Continue moving until you found [npc=101778].

  9. Fight the demon, npc's will assist you, so the battle gonna be easy.

  10. Pick up [item=128402] weapon and wait until Baron Sliver opened portal. Pass through and run up the stairs, listen to The Lich King speech. Pass through the portal he opened.
