Overview

Stratholme is the city Arthas purged, and it never recovered. The Scarlet Crusade holds the Scarlet Bastion in the west of the city, and the Scourge holds the rest. You run it in two halves, each a full run of its own: the Main Gate leads through haunted streets into the Bastion and ends with Balnazzar, and the Service Entrance leads into the Scourge's quarter, with its three ziggurats, the Slaughter Square and Baron Rivendare.

Groups start coming here around level 58, and both halves stay worth running at 60. Between them you'll find pieces of all nine dungeon sets, from Magister's Regalia to Battlegear of Valor, a stack of Eastern Plaguelands quests and the Baron's Deathcharger's Reins.

New in Forever

Deathcharger's Reins teaches an account-wide mount.

Getting there

Stratholme sits at the northern edge of the Eastern Plaguelands, beyond Plaguewood. The city has two instance portals: the Main Gate, and the Service Entrance, a second gate in the city wall.

A locked gate waits just inside the Service Entrance. The Key to the City opens it, and one key opens it for the whole group. A Rogue with 300 Lockpicking can pick the same lock instead. Magistrate Barthilas drops the key, and you can reach him from the Main Gate: the streets run all the way to Elders' Square, where he stands.

Both factions run Stratholme, and every quest here except Ramstein is open to Alliance and Horde.

Quests

Stack as many as you can before you ride north: several hand in at Light's Hope Chapel and elsewhere in the Eastern Plaguelands. Each half of the city has its own set, so take the ones for the half you're running. Dead Man's Plea is the one to plan around: it puts a clock on the whole Service Entrance run.

Other quests

Main Gate

The Main Gate starts in streets the Scourge has overrun and ends deep in the Scarlet Bastion. Skul, Hearthsinger Forresten and The Unforgiven haunt the streets, Ezra Grimm keeps his smoke shop near the start, Timmy the Cruel waits in the square in front of the Bastion, and Balnazzar sits at the end.

Skul

RareLevel 58

Skul is a rare spawn, so he isn't there every run. When he is, kill him: all three of his drops are rares, including Skul's Ghastly Touch, a wand.

Loot (3)

Ezra Grimm

Ezra Grimm owns the smoke shop from The Great Fras Siabi, near the start of the Main Gate route. He shows up to defend it when you open the tobacco box inside.

Hearthsinger Forresten

RareLevel 57

An undead minstrel who stands in one of four places in the streets. His drops include Magister's Boots from Magister's Regalia and the Songbird Blouse.

1. Stratholme Courier

Level 57

Loot (6)

3. Postmaster Malown

Level 60Elite

Loot (6)

The Postmaster only comes out when you open Stratholme's postboxes. Each postbox takes its own key, such as the Market Row Postbox Key. Opening postboxes brings out Undead Postmen, and the third box you open brings the Postmaster himself. His standout drop is Malown's Slam, a two-handed mace.

4. Timmy the Cruel

Level 58Rare

Loot (5)

Timmy belongs to Crusaders' Square, the courtyard in front of the Scarlet Bastion, but he isn't there when you arrive. Clear the square and he shows up to fight. He drops Timmy's Galoshes, mail boots with Agility, Stamina and Intellect.

7. Cannon Master Willey

Level 60EliteShow on map: Cannon Master Willey

Loot (12)

Willey fights beside his cannons and calls Crimson Riflemen into the fight. The riflemen aren't elite, so kill each one as it arrives, then go back to Willey. Weaponsmiths want his Plans: Heartseeker.

  • Tank

    Keep Willey where you pulled him and pick up each rifleman as it joins.

  • Healer

    Damage on the group climbs while riflemen are alive. Keep everyone topped and call them out if they pile up.

  • Damage

    Kill each Crimson Rifleman as it arrives. They aren't elite and die quickly.

9. Balnazzar

Level 62EliteFinal bossShow on map: Balnazzar

Loot (15)

The fight starts against Grand Crusader Dathrohan. Partway through, he drops the disguise and becomes the dreadlord Balnazzar, and the transformation heals him to full health. Treat it as two bosses back to back.

Balnazzar fights with control spells. He takes over a player with Domination, sends everyone near him running with Psychic Scream, puts players to sleep with Sleep and lashes the players around him with Shadow Shock. Crowd-control anyone he dominates and keep them away from your healer. Put Fear Ward on the tank before the transformation, and if you have a Shaman, a Tremor Totem removes fear, charm and sleep effects from your party. Sleep is magic, so dispel it.

Balnazzar drops the Head of Balnazzar, which starts The Truth Comes Crashing Down, and the epic Book of the Dead.

  • Tank

    Clear the Scarlet guards near Dathrohan first, then pull him on his own. Have Fear Ward on you when he becomes Balnazzar.

  • Healer

    The transformation resets the fight to a full health bar, so pace your mana. Dispel Sleep as soon as it lands, and keep your distance from anyone he dominates.

  • Damage

    Save your cooldowns for Balnazzar: the transformation heals away your damage on Dathrohan. When he dominates someone, crowd-control them right away.

Service Entrance

The Service Entrance puts you straight into the Scourge's quarter. The route runs from Magistrate Barthilas through the three ziggurats (Baroness Anastari, Nerub'enkan, then Maleki the Pallid), into the Slaughter Square for Ramstein the Gorger, and ends with Baron Rivendare.

Each ziggurat holds its boss and, deeper inside, a group of Thuzadin Acolytes. Kill both in all three ziggurats and the gate to the Slaughter Square opens.

If you're on Dead Man's Plea, this half is a race. Once the Baron knows you're inside, you get The Baron's Ultimatum: 45 minutes to kill him before his prisoner, Ysida Harmon, runs out of time. Leave the optional kills for another run and go straight through the ziggurats.

Stonespine

RareLevel 60

A rare gargoyle, so he isn't up every run. When he is, he drops Stoneskin Gargoyle Cape, a cloak with Stamina, Strength and Agility.

Loot (3)

11. Baroness Anastari

Level 59EliteShow on map: Baroness Anastari

Loot (10)

The Baroness holds the first ziggurat. Her signature move is Possess: she takes control of a group member for two minutes and vanishes while she holds them. The possessed player fights for her, and Possess also raises their maximum health, so don't try to burn through it. Crowd-control the possessed player until the possession ends and she's back in the fight.

If you're on The Active Agent, search the ziggurats for the Scourge Data while you're inside.

  • Tank

    Pick her back up the moment she reappears.

  • Healer

    The possessed player attacks your group, so keep your distance and heal through it until they're crowd-controlled.

  • Damage

    Crowd-control the possessed player instead of attacking them, and burn the Baroness while she's visible.

13. Nerub'enkan

Level 60EliteShow on map: Nerub'enkan

Loot (10)

Nerub'enkan holds the second ziggurat. He roots players in Encasing Webs, cuts the tank's armor with Pierce Armor and raises Undead Scarabs to join the fight. The scarabs aren't elite, so kill them as they come. Kill him, then the Thuzadin Acolytes deeper inside, and the ziggurat is done. He drops Beaststalker's Boots from Beaststalker Armor.

  • Tank

    Pierce Armor makes his hits land harder while it's on you: that's the moment for a defensive cooldown.

  • Healer

    Watch the tank while Pierce Armor is up, and expect the scarabs to add damage.

  • Damage

    Kill the Undead Scarabs as they rise, then get back on Nerub'enkan.

14. Maleki the Pallid

Level 61EliteShow on map: Maleki the Pallid

Loot (11)

Maleki holds the third ziggurat, and he's a caster. He throws Frostbolts, stuns a player in Ice Tomb and channels Drain Life and Drain Mana. Interrupt the Frostbolts and both drains. Ice Tomb can't be dispelled, so heal the trapped player through it.

Once he and his acolytes are down and the other two ziggurats are clear, the gate to the Slaughter Square opens. Hammersmiths want his Plans: Hammer of the Titans.

  • Tank

    Keep him on you, and save your own interrupt for a drain when the group's are on cooldown.

  • Healer

    Ice Tomb stuns a player and can't be dispelled, so heal them through it.

  • Damage

    Rotate interrupts on his Frostbolts and drains: every cast you stop is damage or mana he doesn't take.

15. Ramstein the Gorger

Level 61Elite

Loot (7)

The Slaughter Square is full of abominations. Kill every Bile Spewer and Venom Belcher in it, and Ramstein comes out to fight. When he dies, a wave of Mindless Undead attacks, followed by Black Guard Sentries. Get through them and the way to Baron Rivendare is open.

Ramstein himself is a heavy hitter: Knockout knocks the tank back and stuns them, and Trample hits everyone standing next to him.

  • Tank

    Fight him with your back to a wall so Knockout can't throw you far. The moment he dies, gather the Mindless Undead before they reach your healer.

  • Healer

    Knockout stuns the tank, and a stunned tank can't dodge or parry, so keep them high. Save mana for the undead wave that follows his death.

  • Damage

    Trample hits everyone next to him, so only melee should stand close. Keep your area damage for the Mindless Undead.

16. Baron Rivendare

Level 62EliteFinal bossShow on map: Baron Rivendare

Loot (23)

The Baron waits in his chamber with Ysida Harmon locked in a cage. Throughout the fight he casts Raise Dead to raise skeletons. A skeleton that's still alive when the spell runs out sacrifices itself to heal him, so kill them fast: they're weak, and area damage clears them. Kill him inside the 45 minutes and Ysida is free.

He drops Deathcharger's Reins, the reins to his own steed, the epic Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, and the leg piece of all nine dungeon sets.

  • Tank

    Hold the Baron in one spot, facing away from the group, and leave the skeletons to your damage dealers.

  • Healer

    Every skeleton that survives heals the Baron and makes the fight longer. Call out the ones your group misses.

  • Damage

    Switch to the skeletons the moment they rise. Area damage kills them fast, and each one you miss heals the Baron.

Trash and pulls

  • Eyes of Naxxramas float over both halves of the city. Given time, an Eye finishes Summon Rockwing Gargoyles and two elite Rockwing Gargoyles join the fight. The Eyes aren't elite: kill them on sight.
  • In the Scarlet Bastion, every Crimson enemy is humanoid, so all your humanoid crowd control works. Kill or control the casters (the Crimson Sorcerers, Battle Mages and Conjurors) first.
  • On the Service Entrance side, almost everything is undead, and Shackle Undead is your crowd control. The Thuzadin cultists are the exception: they're humanoids.
  • In the Slaughter Square, pull the abominations one at a time. Bile Spewers release Bile Slimes, which aren't elite: sweep them up with area damage.
  • Stratholme Holy Water from the supply crates damages undead in an area. Keep five for Houses of the Holy and throw the rest into big undead pulls.

Tips

  • Tip

    Loot the Key to the City from Magistrate Barthilas once, and every later Service Entrance run starts at the back door. A Rogue with 300 Lockpicking opens that gate without it.

  • Tip

    On a Baron run, go straight through the ziggurats. The 45-minute Ultimatum doesn't wait for optional kills.

  • Tip

    Kill every Eye of Naxxramas before it finishes its cast.

  • Tip

    Save your cooldowns for Balnazzar's second health bar and for the Baron's skeletons.

  • Tip

    Carry spare Stratholme Holy Water: it's extra area damage against the undead.
