Description

Before the prince became a king, he fought many battles... but only one where he came close to dying.

It was fought right here. After you let me show you what happened, you'll understand everything.

Find a bloodstained stone and pick it up from the floor. You'll see what happened.

the stone is near to the ghost, around 48, 72. when u use it u became Arthas, and Ilidan appears.

You must defeat Ilidan to complete the quest, time your parries to gain mana, kick him back, and use the 4th skill (cant remember the name) to get to him and stun him. As soon as he stunned, spam the 2nd skill to dmg him.

Very cool questchain.

Easy way to beat this fight:

Parry (1) until your mana is about 75%+ full. Then Stomp (3) and Annihilate (4), and spam Deathstrike (2) until he's back up.

Repeat until dead.

Enjoy the epic questline. =]

Also, as others said, if you failed once, you can just 'use' the rock again. It doesn't always spawn in the same place.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Time for AnswersIcecrown · Level 25-30

    You have a lot of questions, <name>. You're the only one who can see me because you touched something that once belonged to him... don't you remember? You don't know what it is? Well I can't just tell you... that would make him really mad. He's not just a prince anymore... he's the king!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Knowledge is a Terrible BurdenIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Now you know what you're up against, <name>. An opponent who no longer knows pain... remorse... or humanity. An opponent who will do anything to get what he wants. The heart was his weakness and now he knows you've found it. If you're going to go back for it, you'd best bring help.
