Horde Blood Infusion
Highlord Darion Mograine wants you to infuse Shadow's Edge with blood and defeat Queen Lana'thel.
This quest may only be completed in 25 person difficulty of Icecrown Citadel.
Objectives
- Infuse Shadow's Edge with Blood then defeat Lana'thel.
Description
Your weapon is ready to be endowed with the power of blood.
You must face Queen Lana'thel in battle and subject yourself to her Blood Mirror. This will cause Shadow's Edge to drink the blood of the nearest living being. That being would be you, <race>.
Once the blade has been thus awakened, allow the Queen's Frenzied Bloodthirst to take hold of you, feed the blade thrice to sate it, and then give the queen an ignominious death.
May her screams pierce the ears of the Lich King as he awaits his fate.
You must have your Shadow's Edge equipped for this quest.
During the Blood-Queen Lana'thel encounter, stack on top of the main tank to gain Blood Mirror and Gushing Wound, and then quickly and let the offtank step in to receive Blood Mirror so that you can receive the first Vampiric Bite. Now you must use your own Vampiric Bite ability to bite three players before the end of the fight and complete the quest.
Shadowmourne Quest Series:
There are a ton of conflicting comments online for how to do this, even more after the patch 6.0.2 changes. Consequently, some of this might not have been necessary, but this is how we did it successfully:
25HM, Group of 3. Person on quest, and two others. One should either be a shaman or a class with a battle rez. For the sake of easy instructions, we'll call the person doing the quest [Person A], the person who is going to die a few times [Person B], and the other or battle rezzer [Person C].
• [Person B] ran in first and got primary aggro. [Person A] stacked on [B] for the blood mirror. [Person C] stood behind boss and did nothing.
• After blood mirror went out, [Person A] ran out of melee, and [B] & [C] stacked for mirror.
• Blood Queen bit [Person A] first, as she prioritises people without the mirror.
• [Person A] picked up the mirror again with [Person B].
• [Person A] bit [Person B] for the first bite
• [Person B] killed self in the fire (note: had to take off most my armor before the fight to be able to die fast enough).
• When [Person A] needed to bite the second time, [Person B] reincarnated (or was battle rezzed) and was bit again, then immediately killed self again.
• For the third bite, [Person A] bit [Person C].
• Then [Person A] killed the boss before any more bites needed to go out.
Success!
Due to the change in rez timers, getting that BR off on time may be difficult, but it should be available in time. If not, you could always make [Person C] the second bite, then they rez [Person B] for the third bite before killing themselves once it is available.
The main trick is making sure that the first and second bites kill themselves, and that the person on the quest is the one bitten first by the Blood Queen. Strictly speaking, the latter doesn't have to be the case, but you need to bring more people if it isn't.
Bonus tip: drop all the fires in a big stack for easier death, instead of running it around.
