Mograine still doubts us. He does not want to give weapons to a man who craves only power and glory. To once again make sure of your devotion, he issues another task - Feast of Souls.
The essence of the quest is that you need to kill monsters in the Icecrown Citadel raid. This time, the difficulty does not matter - the task is performed in both the 10-person version and the 25-person version. Hitting a monster from the pack once (and you must be armed with [Shadow's Edge]), all of them are debuffed - Dark Lot . As soon as the next monster dies (you do not have to deal the final blow), a purple soul ray flies out of its body, increasing the soul counter in the task by one. At the same time, the voice of the Lich King inevitably haunts you.
This quest also has a few subtleties. First, in the past, absolutely all mobs in Icecrown Citadel were counted for the quest. Including critters, and small adds, and even spikes on Lord Rebrad. Since then, a lot of time has passed and a lot has been fixed.
At the moment, the task counts:
- Monsters that have reputation with the Ashen Union.
- Adds Lady Deathwhisper.
- Large Rotface Slugs.
- Slugs of Professor Putricide.
- Ghouls from the traps in front of Professor Putricide.
- Adds on Valithria Dreamwalker.
- Monsters with no reputation or no loot.
- Thorns at Lord Rebrad.
- Zombie Charms.
- Blood monsters of Saurfang.
- Any monsters in Air Combat.
- Illusions of players summoned by the Val'kyr in the center of the Spire.
Power of Unholy is the first of three quests that aim to imbue your weapons with three death knight powers. The first of three quests that will make your raid sweat.
To complete the quest, you will have to climb into the skin of the Mutated Abomination in the fight with Professor Putricide. Read more about the strategy for killing this boss in the article. This and the two following quests are only available in the 25 player version.
A distinctive feature of the fight here is that the Abomination that slows the slugs will be forced to skip one slow in order to accumulate the required amount of energy (100 units). A person with [Shadow's Edge] will have an additional button on the abomination's control panel - the Shadow Ward ability. Using it gives the player a buff that allows them to absorb Professor Putricide's soul. The buff does not last the whole battle (~ 8-10 minutes), but only 6 minutes. Therefore, in order to successfully complete the quest, you need to use the spell in the second half of the battle - towards the end of the second phase. You must also stay alive, otherwise the task will not count.
Priests and druids will help you gain energy thanks to their talents - Encouragement and Ascension. Both work great on the abomination.
The second stage is endowing the ax with the Power of blood. For this purpose, we need to kill .
In this fight, the [Darkmourne] challenger will need to get the Blood Mirror debuff at the start of the fight. The debuff is placed on OT, so you should warn him and your Raid Leader in advance that you need to run to the boss at the beginning of the fight along with the main tank. You must be treated abundantly. Having received the coveted debuff, we return to the starting position in the raid.
Next, you need to try the blood of your allies three times. Therefore, it is very important that the first person with the Essence of the Blood Queen bite you. Every 60 seconds you tactically bite an unoccupied raid member. After each bite, another debuff stacks on you - Bleeding Wound . When you land your third bite, the debuffs will disappear and be replaced by Satisfying Thirst . It remains only to finish off the boss, while remaining alive.
Helpful Hints:
- Ask the healers to throw protection on you at the beginning of the fight, when you find yourself under the influence of the mirror.
- In no case (!!!) use a bubble (paladin) or an anti-magic shield (dk) - this will remove the debuffs you need from you and the quest will not count.
The power of ice. For a moment, Highlord Darion Mograine seems to take pity on Sindragosa, but she will have to be dealt with in order to complete the final stage of the [Edge of Darkness] consecration, as well as Professor Mezocide and the Blood Queen.
In this quest, you will need to survive the Ice Breath of the Dragon Queen four times. The breath deals about 50,000 damage. frost damage. If you are not a tank, there is only one way to survive - to put on a set of armor for frost resistance. Do you remember? Once such was crafted throughout the raid to kill Sapphiron in Naxxrammas. It will not be superfluous to also wear part of the tank uniforms.
The fight with the dragon begins, she lands. Your task is to stand next to the tank, so that you have the dragon's breath. Sindragosa breathes about once every 20 seconds. Each breath slows you down by 15%. The Edge of Darkness absorbs every breath, filling with the powers of ice. Upon reaching 4 charges, your weapon is Iced Forged . We finish what we started - we finish the boss. The fight with Sindragosa is quite long, so if you are not sure about your raid DPS, you should time it so that there is less than 6 minutes until the end of the fight when you get the Iceforged Blade debuff, otherwise it will subside and the task will not be counted.
The whole difficulty will lie in your survival. Get yourself a dedicated healer or run away from the boss between breaths under 50 [Shadow Ice Shards] should be stockpiled and brought to Highlord Darion Mograine at the entrance to Icecrown Citadel. Shards drop from bosses in the 25-man version. Drop rate is 20-50% on Normal difficulty and 50-99% on Heroic. It is easy to calculate that with incredible luck (each of the 12 bosses will give away a shard), you will need more than a month to collect. The chances in the Heroic version increase, but it's still not 100% and [Shadow Ice Shard] may not even drop there.
The task is very reminiscent of collecting another legendary - [Val "anir, the hammer of ancient kings], with only one amendment that there are fewer bosses in the CLC, and the number of required fragments is twice as large.
And here it is - a solemn and tremulous moment. You have 50 fragments in your backpack, and with hands shaking with excitement, you pass this treasure to the death knight, who tested your will, endurance and patience for so long...
... In his hands you see an ax of indescribable beauty, emitting a light blue light. You feel the power emanating from this weapon. And you already know why it passes into your hands. Now you and only you can stop the Lich King!
We sincerely hope that you will be able to get your hands on this weapon!
« In an attempt to overthrow the Lich King, brave heroes will have to follow the path of Arthas in many ways. To adequately equip the troops of the inhabitants of Azeroth against the Scourge, Darion Mograine created the Ashen Alliance - an artel of the most skilled artisans of the Argent Crusade and the Knights of the Ebon Blade. But although the brave paladins of the Vanguard are armed with the power of the Light, and their leader wields the legendary Ashbringer, some of the dark warriors of Mograine began to doubt victory. These death knights claim that the might of the Ashbringer and the courage of the Argent Knights are not enough to stand against Frostmourne. They swear that Darion Mograine has long been pinning his hopes on another legendary weapon that can defeat the Lich King and purify Northrend... only it hasn't been forged yet.».
It is with these words that the story of the Dark Sorrow begins on the official World of Warcraft website. Since this page was opened, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge: the origin of the legendary ax has long been known to everyone, Icecrown Citadel has already been liberated from the Scourge and the Lich King in the body of Arthas more than once, and the most persistent heroes have even already been able to collect this weapon with a beautiful name - Dark Sorrow ...
« ...a huge two-handed ax worthy of a giant's hand. It was spawned by the forces of light and fel, became a receptacle for thousands of dead souls, and only the most powerful warriors of Azeroth can own it. It seems that it is impossible to create a weapon like this ax, but the rumors about it do not stop. Some smiths claim that the Darkmourne can be made from an ordinary axe, sharpening its blade to an incomparable sharpness, while others believe that creating it requires a weapon of incredible power. It is said that Mograine, when talking, admits that, in his opinion, only the hammer of Arthas himself can serve as the basis for the Dark Sorrow - but this incredible find will be only the first step towards creating a great axe.
- To hold the forces dancing on its icy blades, Darkmourne must be forged from shards of unrefined saronite, the congealed blood of the ancient god Yogg-Saron. This material will submit to the hammer of only the most skilled craftsmen.
To maintain its deadly power, it is necessary to feed the Darkmourne with the souls of the most powerful servants of the Scourge, destroying them one by one with a blade that has not yet cooled down.
In order for the ax to be able to pierce the armor of the Lich King, Darkmourne must be decorated with a fragment of the Frozen Throne, which was once created by Kil'jaeden from the ice of the Twisting Nether.
While this ax in the hands of real heroes again and again destroys the forces of the Scourge, I want to talk about how each of us (if, of course, he is a warrior, paladin or death knight) will be able to independently collect this weapon by completing a difficult chain of quests.
I will tell you about each task in more detail:
Obtaining Dark Sorrow (Shadowmourne)

Obtaining Dark Sorrow (Shadowmourne)
Obtaining Dark Sorrow (Shadowmourne)To complete this task, when the boss pulls, the owner of the Edge of Darkness needs to get under the Bloody Mirror (at this time, the healers need to shield, heal and keep you alive in every possible way). When you receive a mirror, you will be debuffed with Bleeding Wound . After that, the Blood Mirror should take over the off-tank. Next, the player who was bitten by Lana "tel should bite you, i.e. you must be the second vampire in the raid. After that, your goal is to bite three players in the raid - The bleeding wound will continue to stack. After the bite of the third player, this debuff will disappear and appear buff Satisfied thirst... In the future, it remains only to finish off the Bloody Queen and stay alive yourself.

Saving up ~ 70000 gold to buy 25pcs Ancient Saronite.
loot 2 blood from Festerface and Rotface (only in 25 player mode) Festergut's Corrosive Blood and Rotface's Corrosive Blood.

Also, at the beginning of the battle, I advise you to run along with the main tank to get a mirror, at this moment the entire raid does not cause damage to the boss, so that only you get the bite (although it is possible to get the second bite, in which case the DPS may have to be stopped). The quest is only done in 25 player mode.
