The Wrath of Rath'mael Quest Guide (WoW Forever)

The Wrath of Rath’mael is the Horde “kill the final boss” quest for Ruins of Lordaeron. A necromancer is filling the streets of the old capital with fog and undead, and the Deathguard wants him gone. The reward is one of two blue two-handed weapons, which makes it the best item quest in the dungeon for many classes.

Quick facts

Step by step

1. Finish Rear Guard Patrol for Deathguard Kristof at the crossroads camp south-east of Brill. Our dungeon notes say he offers The Wrath of Rath’mael after both patrol quests.
2. Take The Wrath of Rath’mael from Kristof.
3. Collect the other Horde quests for the dungeon: The New Plague, Light’s Justice, A Frightened Request and Unending Torment (from a boss drop) all fit in the same run.
4. Run Ruins of Lordaeron to the end. Rath’mael waits in the Lordaeron graveyard.
5. Kill Rath’mael. The kill counts for everyone in the group who has the quest.
6. Return to Deathguard Kristof and choose your weapon.

Rewards

Choose one:

• Forsaken Greataxe: two-handed axe, 49–74 damage, 3.0 speed, +8 Strength, +4 Stamina. Good for warriors, paladins and shamans.
• Gnarled Necromancer’s Staff: staff, 45–69 damage, 2.8 speed, +10 Spirit. For healers and casters.

You also get about 4,600 XP and 150 reputation with the Undercity.

Tips / common problems

• Clear the graveyard first. Pull the undead around Rath’mael before you start the fight so you have room to move.
• Get out of Flamestrike. He places fire on the ground. Step out at once, then keep attacking from a safe spot.
• Tank, move him with care. Drag Rath’mael out of each Flamestrike, but not into packs you have not cleared.
• Edward Heartweaver’s body lies in the same graveyard. If you have A Frightened Request, walk up to it while you are there.
