You should be able to solo the quest without too much trouble. The hardest part is being able to get to a good place to find a doomguard captain alone.

They are to the south of where you get the quest. It would be a good idea to get a Voidwalker out now. If you have an epic mount you can just ride though all of the mobs without too much trouble. Be careful though, those guys hurt and can hit for over 1000 damage, and if you get dazed you are pretty much done for. Try to stay as far as way from them so you dont get hit as you pass them. Find a good place where you can just aggro one captain alone. Send your voidwalked in and just start using the item, your Voidwalker will probably die by the end, but by the time he does you should be done using the item.

Also after you finish using the Prison you need to pick up the item that is right next to corpse or else it won't give you credit for the quest.

At level 70 this is an easy quest to do solo; The Doomguard Commander's damage won't kill you before you finish channeling and the channeling does not get interrupted

Commentaire de Thottbot

Duo'd it with a 60 mage @ the dark portal, its all down to the timing to ensure you dont get aggro'd by the whole of the area...

Let the mage fireball one of the other mobs (not the commander)- have the voidwalker at ready make him attack the commander as soon as he aggro's the mage, the rest of the mobs will continue to follow the mage for a while or until he dies, this should give you enuf time to use the item on the doomgaurd and get away unmarked, using the VW sacrifice ofcourse

peace

is there a change to banish hin and then channel?

i'll try it today :D

Commentaire de Thottbot

"make your way south of the entrance to TS. You will go down in a valley type area and then back up. You should pass by 2 doomguard commanders and a bunch of other demons. Don't worry about dying you should be naked and only losing a little time making your way back each time. Now once your past these 2 doomguard and start making your way up you should see a crater on your map and may start seeing dreadlords. Immedietly turn right. You should see a lonely DG commander who overlooks the valley you just ran thru. Make your way up the cliff facing to the left of him."

Hi all, after much frustration with a group of warr, hunter, priest and pally i was able to do this quest with just me and another lock

As stated above, one lock starts channelling (i had sacrifieced VW and also equipped a spellstone) while the other banishes the doomguard. channelling is not interrupted. Just be careful because it can resist banish as well

Much easier this way and easier to get help from a lock with the same quest

coords are at 35,68

Commentaire de Thottbot

SOLO!
First, get the maximum distance away from the doomguard, then banish him. Set your voidwalker to auto-taunt him (voidwalkers can taunt through banish). Begin channeling now!
There should be 1 or 2 seconds of channeling left when the voidwalker either dies or loses aggro. When this happens, the doomguard will probably run up and hit you for 1k-3k health, but as long as he doesn't use War Stomp, the channel won't break and he'll disappear before you die.
Click the shard and you have your imprisoned Doomguard.

Commentaire de Thottbot

35,68 confirmed. Ride along the mountains to avoid aggro.

Found a single doomguard. Banished, sent VW in. Found max range with shard, then waited for banish to fade. He insta aggroes when I activate shard, and I pop VW. Doomguard casts rain of fire first, then hits me with melee a couple times, easily absorbed. Shard finishes, and he's captured.

This is so much easier to solo than people think.

1. get to the solo commander on top of ridge. (approx 37, 68)

2. Cast clowing crystal prisom at him then as he runs to you.. step 3

3. CoS then Banish.(resisted 2 times)

4. Walk back away from him. During banish he turns to a captured commander shard thing.

5. Click on the shard and there you go.

My stats are about 4500/4500. I am 21, 21, 9. No VW used, Only VW sacrifice already on.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I saw it posted previously. Did it today and it still works:

No demon needed, no healthstones, no nothing.

Find a lone Doomguard Commander. There are a couple of them in the south-east corner of the tainted scar. Just ride there and dodge all enemies as best you can until you are out of combat.

Start channeling, banish as soon as you can (while still channeling which CAN be done), wait, pick up imprisoned Doomguard and be amazed at the simplicity.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Well, I learned that the hard way, several times, I nearly had it, then he got within like 100 yards, and "For the Legion! For Kil'Jaeden!" Gah...I guess I'll try to solo another day.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I followed the plan outlined by yusstay a few posts above this one. I didn't think it would work, but it did. Apparently you can channel the binding spell while also casting both CoS and Banish. Go figure. You don't need another Warlock; you don't need a Hunter to freeze trap; you don't need a Warrior or Priest. You don't even need a VW, but the sacrifice shield helps if banish doesn't stick on the first cast. Patch 1.11.2

Commentaire de Thottbot

Soo.. this
1. Channeling
2. COS
3. Banish
4. pickup quest item thing
didnt work for me (he just didnt turn in the quest item)
So i tried it the "normal intended" way.
I
1. Banished him to gain some time
2. sended in voidwalker to attack him
3. went to max distance (its exactly the distance of the wand)
4. started the channeling as soon as banish broke
5. when he comes near let him hit u once or so and then Sacrifice Voidwalker
6. should be transformed to the quest item before u die

As an addition 3 times he warstomped me when he was near and so canceled the channeling. i just banished him again, bandaged myself up, summoned voidwalker and started again. (just rebanish when banish breaks).
I have around 4k HP, didnt use a Healthstone or a pot... so the quest can be done solo without any tricks. GL mates

Commentaire de Thottbot

The hardest part about this quest is getting into the necessary position. It's difficult to explain but I will try. Before doing anything, make sure to take off your gear- you can die ALOT trying this and you don't want to bother with repair bills.

Basically, beginning at the entrance to the Tainted Scar (you shouldsee 3/4 elite arranged in front of you) you are going to move straight forward towards the west which will be taking you in the direction of some hills/mountains. Now you should see a narrow-ish path leading up these hills/mountains with a guard off to its left and another further off on the right- you won't need to worry about the right, just wait until the left has pathed as far as away as possible and then get up the path. Moving up the path you should see a few small hills on your left, move up onto these and start making your way South/Southwest along them. You will know if you are in the right area if there is a group of 2 Doomguards and a Dreadlord all standing together on your RIGHT side. Now, when you have the group on your right, you should be facing some steep slopes (Still being south/southwest). You can get over these but it will take some work- don't give up- just keep trying to run up the slopes as far as possible, turning slowly in either direction until you find the right path upward and over them. You should now have that group I mentioned (the doomguards/dreadlord) behind you. The rest is fairly simple. Dismount, put on WALK, and move in the same direction you have been, bearing to your left. You should make your way alongside a steep hill and shortly see a single, lonely doomguard. He has no friends to help him out. There you go.

I did this by having a healthstone/pot ready, as well as being DM specced and 1. using a VW sacrifice 2. using Fel Domination -while- I had my VW shield still up and summoning a second VW to sacrifice again during the fight. Basically I had a second shield on hand. Now the DG will just stand there or even wander around normally for the first 3-4 seconds of channeling, and then come at you head on. Don't bother trying to draw off Aggro w/ your VW because it won't work. The only way the DG can interrupt you is with a war stomp- and if he does that then I'd recommend just dying and retrying because it'll be very difficult to restart channeling and begin again whe he's already in your face. If you're not DM specced that's fine, you can still sac. one VW and then summon another- you'll just have less time to go on your first VW shield, but they only last for 4-5 hits anyway.

Also note: the crystal only channels for 15/20 seconds, but it will be 2-3 seconds AFTER it has finished channeling that the DG will turn into the crystal you need and can pick up. So if your crystal finishes channeling but the DG kills you in those last few seconds, don't worry and don't send in a GM ticket because nothing is wrong- it's just lame like that. Also remember to PICK UP THE CRYSTAL- it is fairly small and easily missed if you're too eager to race back to the quest giver.

I hope this helps anyone out who had as much trouble as I did. =]

Also to note- if you don't want to solo this quest and you don't want to find this singled-out DG then I would recommend a raid of 10 or more. Yall can say what you want about those demon elites, but a 5-man group won't likely cut it unless you are very geared out. They do blast waves for nearly 1k dmg, hit very hard and have a large amount of health. Basically the juiced up equivalent of Onyxia Warders if you've ever fought those. I tried getting a large group of 10 for them and it was slow-going. Anyway, good luck and have fun summoning the DG. It's not really practical but fun to summon randomly.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Guess Blizzard doesnt care about warlocks.... the doomguard commanders who were near the dark portal have been erased, and now to finish this quest, you HAVE to go in to the tainted scar region of blasted lands.

That region is the toughest region in the map, except ofcourse, in a raid instance. But I would say the mobs are as tough as, if not more, as the ones at Zul'Gurrub and definitely tougher than UBRS.

Took a 10 man raid of lvl 60s to Tainted scar...most of us had full PVP sets, at the most we could take down 2 felguards (lvl 61-62 elites) at a time. But when a patroll of one felguard and 2 felhounds joined in the fray, while we were taking on 2 felguards, we wiped. Then we quit.

Then we took a 20 man raid to nethergarde, we did lack discipline initially, and atleast 5 guys were 53-57, so we wiped once. Then we halted, got 5 more people, all lvl 60s, and we proceed at a brisk and disciplined pace.

Important to note: for this quest, warlocks are your friends. The more you have in your group, the more you can banish and establish crowd control, if jumped by the roving patrolls.

The mobs here are immune to fear.

We took down the felguards one at a time, proceeded west, and in the map you see a semi circular area blocked off by mountains. Just south of that area is a plateau where there are 2 doom guard commanders (34.6, 70.4). We killed the felguards and felhounds, then a priest bubbled me, no one attacked the doomguard commander, and then with the doomguard commander targeted, I right clicked the "Glowing crystal prison. A green beam shot out (like while draining life), and I was channeling for a short while, a few seconds. Then the doom guard commander just shrunk and formed a stone. Opened the stone to get the "imprisoned doomguard" and finish the quest.

Then for fun, we took down the other doom guard commanders. Warriors tanked, as I used the glowing crystal prison on the doom guard to test things out. The glowing crystal prison can be used multiple times, even-though, you only need to do it once to get the "Imprisonned doomguard". The doomguard commander once again shrunk in to a stone within a short few seconds.

Now we decided to take on the dreadlord. (In the semicircle region surrounded by mountains - 32.7, 62.0) On reaching the dreadlord and his 2 doomguard commanders, I had 3 warriors tank the dreadlord, while 2 warriors and a druid tanked the first doom guard commander and me imprisioning him, while the rest of the group took on the 3rd doomguard commander.

We eliminated all 3 with consumate ease.

In fact the dreadlord was down to 50% by the 3 warriors when we finally turned our attention to him.

Drops: Nada! Zilch! Nothing!

It was frustrating for our guys to see the boss drop nothing at all.

Given the tainted scar region is so tough, during the whole raid, maybe one "eye of the shadow" dropped from a random felguard, and a couple of lvl 57 greens, and nothing else.

The guys were disappointed.

Important to note: The felguards and felhounds and doomguard commanders respawn fast.

So you have to stay close and move fast, or you will end up staying in the same place fighting the same mobs again and again.

I am not sure how we are supposed to beat this quest now, but as of the Burning Crusade, all the Doomguards in front of the Dark Portal are no longer there. I hope I didnt miss out.

Commentaire de Thottbot

ok, dumb dumb and dumberer, enslave FTW enslave the nearby felguards and have them beat on him for about 10 seconds, pull out the trapper and boom, no aggro whatsoever, yes, i did solo it but only because im 66, no, m not bragging, just saying it's possible with only 7k health

Commentaire de Thottbot

I did this with my warlock at lvl 61.

For the first two quests I had the help of a group although it appeared that the demons at winterspring were very easy to solo with just pulling one by one on the bridge and then fear and Dots. On the bridge there was no way to pull other mob during the fear.

For the Suppression I went alone and found the Commander as it was described in the previous comments. First sent the VW to get the initial aggro (I have 3 points on improved VW) and I started the channeling from the maximum distance. The Commander came towards me when the void was at around 60% of his health so I had to sacrifice him as soon as the commander was approaching (The channeling is not interrupted from sacrifice). The shield holded all the damage from rain of fire so I ended up finishing the quest without a single hit on me.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Ok, after reading all these posts (at least most of the ones pertaining to doing the actual quest and ignoring the bragging and whining posts) I decided to take my level 63 BE Lock to go do this.

The two quests leading up to this one were not too bad to solo, just time consuming and annoying on occasion.

When I found a solo DC (as close to solo as you're going to get now) my first pull drew an unintended add so ran away and came back to try a second time. I dropped curse of shadows on the DC and pulled him back to where I would be safe and sent the voidwalker after him. Same as everyone else, I waited till Rain of Fire was cast and started the cast on him as he did it.

After Rain of Fire completed he ran after me, hit me once, and ran back after the voidwalker. I did not sac the voidwalker and it didn't die until right as the spell completed. For all the talk about how hard this quest is or the fact it's pointless to do, I find that 18+k in XP for such an easy quest chain was well worth my time.

Point is, anyone making a big deal out of soloing this quest is a newb and that's all there is to it. This quest was always intended to be able to be done solo and only required the warlock to plan out and execute based upon their skills a more complex problem to tactically work through.

All of the warlock quests are like this. I can't think of one off of the top of my head that really requires anyone to help. This is a newb quest and if you can't / don't survive it and need help you should stop playing your warlock and move on.

Onto the absurdity of the spell itself.

In time I am sure that Blizzard will take a look at the Infernal and Doomguard and do something about/with them and other demons at some point for the Warlocks. It's been a long time now and everyone pretty much knows and agrees that these last two demons are pretty much a waste and not worth the effort to use in most cases. The doomguard should likely become a regular summon that costs just the reagent + soulshard if it must require the soul of something to be summoned.

Suggestions along these lines have been made to Blizzard before but they haven't said anything about working on the demon aspect of the warlocks beyond the felguard which imho was the biggest waste ever of a talent point when I spec'd for it at one point. You get twice the damage with affliction and destruction trees and you're not depending on a demon to survive in a pinch which is what happens in PVP more often than not. Demonology talent spec for the felguard is a complete waste period.

Bottom line is simply this. Warlocks are amazing characters and they need some attention to details given and extended on certain things now that the BC expansion has changed so many things. Demons we currently have need to be rethought and more usable in a realistic way. Warlocks can do all of their current class quests solo with no issues at all. Simply putting a bit of thought into it prior to doing the quest and you win every time.

You should do this quest. You should try and solo all of it because it's not that hard of a quest chain and it hones your skills as a lock to take advantage of every skill you have to complete. In other words it forces you to learn to play your class.

This is my first 60+ lock ever and I have enjoyed playing it very much. I've never been in a guild with this character and PUGs have served me well. I did this quest like others because it's part of the warlock quest chain and it gave decent XP for just doing it.

By the way, it's quite easy to kill on of these mobs if you have a warlock, a healer of some kind and one other person. CoD, banish rank 2, banish rank 1, shadow bolts (CoD goes off) and repeat. If you pull one to where there are no possible adds, then use multiple fears instead of banish rank 1 and hammer w/ shadow bolts while feared. Use the banish time to bandage if needed to save healer's mana. A three person group, especially one with 2 locks should have no problem at all. A two person group (lock + healer) can do it but it's hard. And yes, I actually did kill one of the Doomguard Commanders me + a lvl *59* pally. So it's not just theory. (It was hard, but it is possible.)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Ok was able to do this on the first try, thanks to the onfo here. A couple tips learned the hard way.
1. to get to the quest giver you can ride all the way to him by keeping to the outer edges.
2. the lone Commander near cords 37, 68 is the best bet. died getting there but upon returning rez where you can not draw aggro and you should be good from there on.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just thought I would share my good fortune...the thing that pulled it off for me was, and this was accidental at the time: send in your VW and don't click your quest item until *just after* the Doomguard starts channeling rain of fire. You will agro him straight away, he will turn to face you, but he won't come after you until after Rain of Fire finishes channeling. This bought me a good 5 or seconds, enough to pull the capture off solo, second attempt.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This was the easiest part of the whole quest line. No way you even need a party for this.

Just ride to the back of Tainted Scar. You'll see Dreadlords around and a Doomgard commander kind of by himself on the hill right before all the Dreadlords. I was able to ride all the way in and just keep riding up the hill you'll lose aggro. Soulstone just to be safe. I healed up summoned voidwalker and thought they would insta kill it and me if they got close by listening to some of these posts. Yeah they hit hard but nowhere near an insta kill and my gear is pretty crappy. First try just sent in voidwalker and started channelling right as it got aggro. It turned to me and started rain of fire on me. Only doing like 500 dmg. By then there was only like 2-3 seconds left on the channel. Just hang in there and he'll shrink up and spawn a crystal on the ground. PICK IT UP! To finish the quest.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You get this quest from an NPC in Tainted Scar. It is the last in a chain from that NPC. To reach the NPC, just go north from the entrance of Tainted Scar. Also, good luck... level 60+ raid mob demons in the way. They hit me for about 700ish. You can kill these efficiently with a minimum of ten people.

However, to get the quest I recommend soulstoning yourself and riding to the NPC. You will die, but wait for the mobs to clear, self-ressurect, and grab the quests quickly because you'll probably be aggroed again.

When you're ready to do this part of the quest, you need a good tank and one healer and that's about it. Go find a Doomguard Commander (they look like Doomguards)... you can usually find one south of the entrance to Tainted Scar. Sometimes there are some by the Dark Portal too.

Have the tank tank the mob and the healer keep the tank alive while you use the glowing crystal prison (which, stupidly enough, has the same icon as a soulshard... gj Blizzard.) It channels just like drain soul, for about fifteen seconds.

WHEN IT FINISHES CHANNELING the doomguard commander will disappear and you may be asking yourself, "Uh, what now?" There will be a crystal on the ground that you have to right-click to open. I missed this a few times and had no idea what I was doing wrong; it's colored really similarly to the ground. (Again, gj Blizzard.) Once you have this item you can do another suicide run to turn in the quest.

By the way, while your tank is tanking the doomguard, other mobs may aggro and you may wipe, but the crystal will stay there long enough for you to recover your corpse and grab it. I don't recommend bringing a whole raid production with you because the respawn on the mobs is really fast anyway, and it's quicker to just die a lot than keep reclearing, heh.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You can kill these guys with 5 people, you just need the proper build.

A priest, mage, hunter, warrior, warlock does it.

Did it today the hard part is getting there.

Just send in VW(make sure u got max. distance before starting), w8 till he got aggro, and when the DG starts rain of fire,
use ur Q item, channeling starts, till rain of fire stops, then he comes 2 u, no panic use sacrifice of the VW and without one hit taken, he becomes a Q item!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Since the other posts are missing certain elements or are wrong about others, here is my guide to solo this quest:

PART I: GETTING THERE
- There is indeed one Doomguard that is standing alone, on one of the hills, just before the Dreadlords. To fight him you need to go to 38,70 just on the edge of the hill, out of the Dreadlord en Doomguard aggro range.
To get there without dying, first you need to ride straight to point 35,78 without stopping and as far from the elites as possible. It's almost impossible without aggroing a few, but when you reach this point you will lose the mobs that chase you.
- Once you are at the safe spot summon your Voidwalker and make sure you have a Soulstone/Healthstone ready. Fire resistance helps against the rain of fire, but is not a requirement - I finished the quest with all my gear in the reds.
- Now go to point 38,70 you'll need run between 2 Dreadlords so carefully time your movement, this should be easy.

PART II: CAPTURE THE DREADLORD
- Send in your Voidwalker, when he starts walking away from you, that way you will maximize the range between you and the Doomguard.
- As soon as the voidwalker has aggro, you should start channeling.
- Now 2 things can happen:
(a) The doomguard immediatly runs for you and starts a melee attack: sacrifice the Voidwalker as soon as he is standing in front of you. The shield should protect you against his stun attack. He will probably start rain of fire after, however the damage from this spell does not break the channeling, so you should be able to finish the channeling.
(b) He doomguard immediatly casts rain of fire: in this case do NOT sacrifice the voidwalker yet. Wait until he finishes casting rain of fire and comes for you, then the moment he stands in front of you, Sacrifice your Voidwalker.
- Use your healstone/healthpot when you are at 2/3 health, this does not interrupt the channeling.
- Free Action Potion pots can help also but I did it without one.

- If you are lucky you can do this without dying, but be sure to have additional shards available for additional VW summons and healthstones.
- Timing the sacrifice is the key to completing this quest (solo)!
- When the channeling finishes, he shrinks into a crystal, pick it up and return to the questgiver.

Pre-req:
Les ancrages de la prison this quest gives doom commander despite what the reward says about it being a glowing crystal prision. The spell it gives is Ritual of Doom.

My group:
2 priests (constant healing / POW: Shield)
a hunter (ice trap)
a paladin (fire resistance aura)
voidwalker (to sacrifice when pots ran out)
and a druid (mark of the wild)

I also took a magic resistant potion, after 2 minutes of drinking it, I drank an invulernability potion and started the shard channeling.

Failed, but with look, the Doomguard Commander started to channel rain of fire, started the imprisonment again, and with orders of me, the rest of the group didn't attack. The hunter cleverly placed an ice trap, once Doomguard stopped channeling, it sprung the trap, preventing it interupting me. :)

A job well done, took a few attempts but got it. It seems to interupt the imprisonment a lot, couldn't figure out if it was because the others were attacking it or because i was too close and it was doing something to everyone.
Found an idle doomguard near the dreadlord part of the tainted scar (near where kazzak crator).

Look forward to testing it :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

There is a lone commander near 37,68.

You'll definitely die getting there, so make sure you die in a safe spot near that loc.

I didn't have a free action potion on me, so i just went to try without it.

I zapped from as far as i could, i tried to let pet take agro, but i figured that was pointless after the second hit. I sac'd immediately after, and than the doomguard proceeded to cast rain of fire. I guess thats why it was so lucky, it was stuck casting rain of fire, so it didn't even try to stun me. I absorbed all the RoF damage and proceeded to trap no problem with better than half my life left.

But go with the other guys suggestion and take a free action potion with you. But if you are there already and you dont, try to do it without it.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This is much easier to solo than the pre-req (The Prison's Casing, which takes longer b/c of the droprate). I did this in about 15 minutes. Strip down and ride into TS. I found a lone DGC by going down the hill, and then up the hill. He should be by himself just when you get to the top of the hill on the right (coords in previous post). Positioned as far away from adds as possible, then sent in VW. Started channel and popped VW at the same time. First time he warstomped me and I died, but it was okay since i was soulstoned and had no breakable equipment on me. Second time, I did the same thing and he cast Rain of Fire, allowing me to finish the channel. So, if you're going to solo this, warstomp = auto-loss, rain of fire = auto-win. I finished with about 15-20% life left when I did it. If the DGC casts rain of fire, he has no time to do enough damage to kill you before you can finish channeling. Very easy and no potions required.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Still easy to solo. I took off my gear, but managed to get to the mob without dying (was close though). I found a place near the loc and used eye of kilrogg to find it. I sacrificed vw and started channelling but he stunned me and it broke. I used ss for another try and this time it worked.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Yes don't be scared of this one. Once you find the lone guard its actually very easy. I had a rougue and warrior pound him while i sacr. a voidy to protect me from his attentions and started channeling. Got it first go without a hickup. In retrospect it probably would be quite easy to solo this. Not sure how useful this will ever be....killing a pc and all to get a pet but its nice to have for the sake if completion.....Good luck

Commentaire de Allakhazam

easy chain, doing it just out of boredom and alternative way of doomguard(curse of doom is pathetic).

getting to the npc is what sux, there is dozen lvl61 elite raid mobs in the way, with more standing around the npc, there is no way to talk to him for more then few seconds without having 1 or several lvl61 elites hitting you for 800+, and you dont want to go through the trouble of clearing raid mobs just to talk to an npc. Here is what I do, strip, suicide run to safe spot i found right next to npc, then die.(it is straight to the left of way he is facing, right if he is facing you, little corner and doomguard wont come close enough to aggro) revive, void tank first mob or attempt a banish, then you can talk to daio for a few seconds. you will die again soon, but revive back in safe spot, and hearth out. as long as you got quest/turned in, and didn't have any of your gear equiped, it doesnt matter how many times you die.

I tried this solo and didn't get anywhere. I found a few commanders to the left when entering tainted scar. I stripped down, rode to them found a safe spot... and died. There were many felguards around, but they didn't aggro to me in the spot I found. So I pulled a commander an sacraficed VW and proceeded with the prison channeling. It seemed that I would get him down to about 25% channeled and then then it would stop channeling (insert angry frown here). After about 12 tries and all broken gear I gave up on it.

So I tried again today with a group of 8. We went to the right side of the dark portal and tried those. Went home all broken again with an incomplete quest. Seems that you can't pull those commanders without 2 linked mobs coming along for the fight. They hit crazy hard too - with a pally and a druid on the tank we still had chaos.

Next try I will head out with a hunter only and try ice trap at the first spot I was soloing at. (Fingers crossed.)

It's probably more of a pain to bring someone along actually. As Chantinelle put it the lone Commander on the ridge is the one to go for. The free action potion advice was helpful also.

Don't send VW in at all.... pointless. Sac. VW first, drink free action potion second, begin the ritual from as far as possible and your done. I think maybe I got to 30% life on first try.

With epic mount you can make it back to the quest giver running straight through the field.

Get a rogue to help you. He'll stun him for you, 4+6 seconds: tadaa!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Did it first try, no fuss. At 30 yard range the commander didn't even aggro at first. I sent in vw thinking he would (maybe it was a bug) whilst I continued to channel. Doomguard hits me to half life and starts aoe at which point I pop sacrifice and I have enough time to finish channel. The coordinates given are probably your best bet, just do it from up the mountainside.

Right hand side of the dark portal, I did it last night with a Hunter.

We were not in a group (to avoid agro as much as possible) He set an ice trap, I had a void walker out, commander trips the trap I start channeling, as soon as he broke out of the trap I Hit sacrifice thus keeping me immune to damage, the shield dropped just as the channeling ended I got killed, ran back to my body, looted the crystal.

Do NOT do this at the tainted scar, those 61 elite guards hit like a tank, it can be done with just a hunter and you with some skill, timing and death (oh and the repair bill) at the Dark Portal

Commentaire de Allakhazam

found a lonly doomguard, did not use anything but imp, started channeling, hit me twise, then started rain of fire, resisted some of the fire damage. was on 30% hp when I was done. EASY

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You can get to the quest giver easily without dying. Just ride and keep riding past him. You should lose agro by the time you get to the wall. We did the Doomguard part with 2 Tauren Shamans and the Warlock. We warstomped him consecutively and healed the lock once before the capture was complete. It was a little difficult finding a Doomguard that didn't agro everyone else but we found one.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I must have been bugged, for me whenever he moved or attacked it would break the channeling, so I had to get a hunter to freeze him or it was impossible.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I soloed the quest yesterday. It took me about 8 times dying before I can reach the safe zone to stand, and 2 times dying for the quest itself. It seemed to me Blizz must have changed something. For, first of all, there were no mobs near the NPC in tainted scar and second of all, the chanelling didn't stop when I got hit by the doomguard. The time I had it done, I just took the potion that increases 1000 armor, let the WV tank, use the crystal (at this point, the DG turned against me instead of the VW), the DG was shrunk and turned into a stone when I had about 20% life left, I looted the stone on the ground. Got it!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Is this quest even worth it? It doesn't seem like it based on the reward.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Could someone show me a picture of this "Doomguard" I've never seen it :(
Please do it, because it seems really cool!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

..all I did was buy a couple of Free Action potions and made my way to that point near Kazzak's crater where there's a lone Commander on the ridge. I put on all my best stamina gear, sacrificed my voidwalker, drank the potion and channelled from as far away as possible. He doesn't react for a couple of seconds, then he charges over and starts laying down the piss but if you're lucky, he'll stop meleeing to use his AoE and while you'll get burned, it's better than getting smacked in the face by him.

The 15 seconds and channelling bar came and went and I was still channelling for at least another 3 seconds but finally, he shrank into the prison while cursing in Demonic (aw, how sweet!). I was down to under 400hp but I was alive and it worked.

To be honest, I found getting the tears from the Darkwhisper bunch far, far tougher. Those of you who took more than one person to help channel him into the crystal = wimps.
;)

Of course, the question has to be 'was it worth it?' Yes, definitely - he has some nifty abilities and is great fun to use. First thing I did with him was duel with a friend who hasn't done the quest yet. We just sat down and watched his Infernal and my Doomguard slug it out, it was great! We then had a proper duel but then the DG broke loose halfway through and killed me.
:D

lol i read about all these fancy groups, so i go there, pick a fight with a doomguard, vw tank then shield, quest complete, free doomguard, didnt die once, not even finding a doomguard did i die

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The quest suggests that you should use the crystal and then have
people heal you so you don't die. Some posts on the web say this
worked. If it once did it does not anymore. The doomguard can stun
you and dispel magic, both of which interrupt the *10 second* channel.
If that were all, it would still be possible. But for some reason the
channel will mysteriously just stop if the doomguard moves, or attacks
another player, or looks at you funny. Personally I think it's
bugged. Even with 4 people healing me, it never was able to finish.
Don't bother bringing a tank: the channel spell generates so much agro
that you will instantly pull the doomguard off anything else. Ice
trap, multiple stuns, and many other clever ideas did not work for
various reasons. It always came down to simple problem that if the
doomguard took any action at all, then the channel would stop.

What turns out to work wonderfully is to just bring another lock. You
can bring a healer too but he/she probably won't me needed. What you
do is: at the same time one lock starts casting banish and the other
starts the channel. The channel should hit just before the banish
does. The demon then sits there stuck while you happily suck his soul
into your little crystal thing. If the timing does not work and he
moves (breaking the channel) before the banish hits or the banish hits
before the channel starts, just wait for banish to wear off an try
again. It may take a few attempts to get the timing right which means
the healer will get a chance to do something useful. The demon then
turns into a little crystal and you pick it up. If both locks need
the quest wait for re-spawn and repeat.

i made it with a hunter, she put a frost trap and activate the prision when he is frozen

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The lone commander up by Kazzak's spawn point (near all the totally sweet dreadlords) is definitely the one to go with. First try I had all my gear off, sent in the VW, channeled, and sacced it as soon as he aggrod me. I almost made it, but a crit for 2500 with 1 second left killed that attempt. After realizing how easy this was, I put on my normal gear, sacced on VW, fel-dom another out and sent it in, and used the prison. When he broke through the first VW sac, I sacced the second one and finished the channel. Got lucky with no warstomps, just melee and RoF. Riding to the DG is really the hardest part of this step :P

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Soloed this today. I found the lone DG, sent in my void, started channeling then banished the DG. Moments after my banish broke I finished channeling and he never hit me the first time. Hope this helps.

Commentaire de Grishord

You can eat healthstones and drink potions while channeling, made it a lot easier than perceived.

Commentaire de Doongus

The one you want is cords 37.9,69.9. Solo doomguard commander that can be pulled by itself. Max distance and send in void. Start channeling and sacrifice void/healthstone when he attacks you. Don't forget to loot crystal. Path up there is at 40,71. Go up path and keep running as there are no mobs and you can drop aggro. Then run up hill to west of doomguard commander and you're set to start channeling.

Commentaire de kve1

though Doongus and Grishord explained everything perfectly, I want to add one thing: doomguard tends to cast rain of fire which doesnt do any real damage if you send voidwalker on him and start imprisoning at max distance (30 yards) after voidwalker engages him
this way i got 1/2 channeling done with doomguard casting rain of fire at 30yard distance and finished imprisoning taking only 2 hits from mob barely popping voidwalker shield
ta-da, you can now play ritual of doom deathroll

Commentaire de SlashBlack

it's hard to explain without a video but go where kazaak spawns (just pray he's not there) there are some doomguards in a corner, send your voidwalker and when he's about to die cast sacrifice, don't let the demon hit you because it can stun

also you need to do these 2 quests from Daio to be able to get this:

Les ancrages de la prison
Les parois de la prison

Commentaire de sitgarath

TL;DR for locks in Classic
Soloable
You can use your healthstone and drink a health pot without breaking the channel

Best spot I found was 39.1 - 78.5 all the way in back past where Kazzak spawns. Avoid as many of the elites as you can on the way there and keep riding to the back so you can leash them at Kazzaks crater.

Send in your VW and start channeling
When the commander attacks you, pop sacrifice
Use a healthstone and then a health pot when you drop below 50% to stay alive

kill demon and loot crystal

Congrats!
