You can use Charged Crystal Foci to use the special abilities of the various demons you control during this quest.

Kommentar von Detton

The Crystalforged Darkrune is used to do an event at Shartuul's Transporter at the northern forge camp, Forge Camp: Wrath, on the westernmost plateau in Blade's Edge (the one with the Ogri'la camp)

The quest to get a darkrune, which is then exchanged for a crystalforged darkrune, can only be gotten at Honored with Ogri'la, and it involves the quest Banish the Demons https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=11026

The first time you do this quest at honored, you are guarenteed a darkrune. The daily version of the quest does not guarentee a darkrune - at least, the bag you get as a reward says to "cross your fingers for a darkrune."

Using the Crystalforged Darkrune at the transporter will have you take control of the roaming demon that can't otherwise be targeted. Your character is "stunned" for the duration and your view shifts to the demon's.

As Jeoh says, you can used Charged Crystal Focus (charged with 10 apexis shards from a Depleted Crystal Focus) to activate an ability which will heal the demon.

Warning: During a bit of lag, I had clicked repeatedly on the "heal" skill, and accidently consumed all of my charged crystal foci (five of them at the time) - There is a cooldown to the ability, but... Just be careful.

The demon has five abilities:

1.) Mortal Strike. Hits a demon for about 10,000 damage, very short cooldown. This will one-shot any of the little demons that come after you.

2.) Whirlwind. Hits all enemies around you for 4k-5k damage. It is similar to Herod's whirlwind from Scarlet Monestary, or the Whirlwind Axe - you must stay in place or else you will break the channeling of the whirlwind. This has a fairly long cooldown, so use it when you have a lot of fel hounds around you.

3.) AOE fear. I can't remember the names precisely (as I do not have a darkrune to do the event right now) - Medium cooldown, it fears - as you'd expect - everything around you for a short time. This can give you a needed breather and help you wait out other cooldowns. (such as whirlwind)

4.) Destructive Charge. Short cooldown (not as short as mortal strike) this will charge an enemy and do a MASSIVE amount of damage to everything around it, around 20,000. It has a minimum range so it's hard to use on anything but the imps, which stand back and throw fire at you. However, any dogs attacking you will likely follow and be caught in the explosion.

Against the stronger demon, if you use the AOE fear, you can then charge for a good amount of damage.

5.) Throw hammer. (Forgot the exact name, again) - Will throw a hammer at the shield, which is your primary objective, doing a lot of damage to it (but it has no health bar) - it takes 4-5 hammers before something stronger then the hounds and imps come after you.

6.) Finally, there is the heal. The wording of the ability states that it drains health from everything around you. I could not get it to work properly though when fighting a group of the fel hounds. This ability consumes one charged crystal focus and has a long cooldown. Use it around your 3rd or 4th hammer to make sure you have full health for the big fight.

Unfortunately, I failed BOTH my attempts for today, the day I finally reached Honored and got this quests, so what lies after this event for the reward, I do not know.

If anyone would care to post a successful attempt and what you get from it, it would be useful. Also, correcting me on the names of the demon's abilities, and exact cooldowns, would be appreciated too. I will have to wait until tomorrow to do the event again and re-check.

Here's how far I've gotten in the event:
First part as the fel guard is really easy, just fear, charge and whirlwind the trash, and hammer the shield every time the cd allows you. Once the shield is down, comes the green demon guy (no need to use crystal foci or whatever in the first part nor the green dude). Just spam the basic attack and whenever he does fel flames, fear and charge.

After this it get's a little trickier though quite easy still. Use fel flames everytime you can, if the little guys start making cannon, use the leap attack and after that drain life from a mob which has a good amount left. Continue this until a big guy shows up, I just spammed him with the basic attack and once in a while do the leap/drain combo. Also use the throw axe ability all the time. Here I had to use one crystal foci thing to do the bombing attack which practically killed all the enemies(remember that you can use your other skills too when flying, drain here)

After you've killed quite lot of the little guys and if I remember correctly 4-6 big guys, you face the shivan assasin. She does siphon life, and death blast or something which drains life to her, and sometimes frost nova and possibly flame buffet+fireball. Here you have to keep her stunned as much of the time possible. I was very close to die but managed to kill her too.

In the next part you control (surprise surprise) the shivan assasin. This part, at least for me, felt very hectic. She has 3 "aspects you can change every 30s. Shadow aspect has siphon life, and the same shadow attack that drains life if the mob is affected by siphon life + shadow nova. Fire aspect has flame buffet, fireball and some aoe which possibly had a debuffing effect(didn't really have time to read carefully) . And the Ice aspect has a frost nova which jumps her backwards, ice blast or something and a spell similar with ice block. Also the special attack she has(that uses 2 charged crystal focus's this time) does much damage and extra if the mob is affected by one of the debuffs she can do.

You'll be fighting a beholder which killed me quite quickly. It casts a deathray attack (you get the "Eye of shartuul is focusing or something in your chat) which I think should be avoided with ice block. I can't tell much about this fight since it was kind of chaotic and he killed me quite quickly.

I'm interested in knowing what's beyond, so please add more info as you get further

I just beat the event. The drop was a Depleted Badge. Took me about 47 minutes and 7 Charged Crystal Foci. It seems that the drop is a random Ogri'la-like only drop (ie a depleted item, a blue that can drop from the dragons/demon bosses/etc

Kommentar von 26079

The first phase "heal" requires other enemies to be nearby, so don't wait to use it until it's only you and the boss.

Kommentar von 18724

Any advice on getting the first phase "heal" to work? Used it four times while surrounded by mobs and it seemed to heal for absolutely nothing at all.

Kommentar von 65320

I actually made it till phase 3. I had no idea what to do and the enemy killed me in about 30 sec and i only got him to 80%. u get a demon with some special abilities like Siphon life and another healing ability.
You also get an ability to change form, ice and fire form.
In fire you get pyroblast and another fire spell. Your movement speed is increaed by 30%.
In ice you get frost bolt and frost nova, but ur movement speed is reduced by 20%.
I actually wanted to use the siphon life but i found out thats not possible when in ice/fire form and i had no idea how to change back to normal. Maybe it was just clicking the same form as you are in again, but in the few seconds i had to live I didnt think of that.

Btw I made it without using and charged crystals, just by using the jump and the heal as often as possible. At that last demon you should use axe throwing a lot as well, since it stuns and interrupts her. You can get friend to help with frost nova and stun etc. The dmg they do is crap but some things can be helpfull.
If u are slow with the mouse and hate clicking those small petbar icons, you can make macros like /cast mortal strike and put those on ur own action bar, might save you just the few seconds you need. But ofc with every demon the abilities change and it'll kinda ruin ur action bars to put all abilities in.

That's about all I know, I hope ppl will find this usefull.. :)
Good luck! xD

I know this sounds complete n00b question, but...

What is a good amount of Charged Crystal Foci to have when you start this quest?

Kommentar von Theolol

Watch out, do this quest as often as you can and don't stack up both kinds of Darkrunes, here's why:

It surely doesn't work to keep a Darkrune, a Crystalforged Darkune and a Kronk's Grab Bag... If you hold all these and let the daily reset happen, you have basically just lost a shot at the Shartuul event.

So, how to avoid this? Just be aware that you can't hold more than one of each of these 3 unique items, and do the Shartuul event ahead of getting full, or on the same day you got a new bag. Always remember to open the bag when you get it, if you can't, that means you need to do the event as soon as possible, because obviously it has a new Darkrune in it. You need to use your current Crystalforged Darkrune and do the event before the next reset. This will allow you to do the event as well as Crystalforge a new one afterwards, since it all took place the same day.

However, if you have all of them and Gahk doesn't have the "Yous Have Da Darkrune?" quest, then you have let the reset go by. In this case you have already lost one darkrune whatever you do, when that happens you should just delete the bag so you can turn-in the "Banish More Demons" quest (usually it will be after having the quest done again and returning to the NPCs that you'll realize you already messed up by not having done it the day before). Being able to turn-in this quest is key to being able to Crystalforge a new Darkrune, so just getting rid of the bag is the single thing you need to do. You can also just delete the plain one and open the bag, same results = no bag, Darkrune, Crystalforged Darkrune. Then you can turn-in the quest and receive a new bag as normal.

To be safe, always keep only one Darkrune or none, not both plain and Crystalforged because you might not have time (or remember) to do the event again before the next daily reset.

The reset is at 4:00 EU, but in fact you should always do dailies preferably before 3:00 realm EU, turning in dailies after that time will make them done for the next day as well - this doesn't show right at the reset, but will happen when you log back in hours later, so you can still do them again right after the reset.

Also, there will be a Raw Darkrune ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32642 ) item coming in a patch. This will apparently stack up to 20 and work in the same way as a normal Darkrune, 1 for each Shartuul event, therefore different than the Fragments ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=33784 ), which will also be patched in. It's a quest item, so it's likely for it to come with a new repeatable quest, to allow you to turn it into a normal, unique Darkrune. This will allow you to Crystalforge a lot more than the 2 you currently can each day, so that in theory you can stack up the event 22 times and then do it in a single day... But mainly, it's obviously to prevent people from just losing their Darkrunes when they don't do the event along with the dailies for a couple days at a time.

For people (like me) who can't really understand strats by reading, I found some posting on Youtube of someone doing it. I havn't attempted this yet, but it has explanations on the video of what spells/abilities are being used, and such. The video's are broken down into 5 seperate events.

Note: these are NOT my videos ! I just found them on youtube.

Anyways, I found the videos useful because it shows you roughly how LONG the fights are, whats going on, what can and will happen, yadda yadda... it's just a really nice visual!

Kommentar von Scubagal

I couldn't figure out how to actually even start this and, after clicking on various demons, I figured out that you need to click on the guard guy wandering around outside. Unfortunately, I had used all my crystal charged foci for myself so he died pretty quick.

any tips on how to fight with the second demon ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I see on the strategy posts that it looks tough
how many people should / could I bring to this event to actually finish it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It Should enslave by itself, so far i've faced 3 stages of this quest, meeting "The Eye of Shartuul" on the 3rd run (getting him to 40%)

Remember to really stack up on the Chrystal Focis since they are the one you use for your special abilities, and they're really needed on the Eye.

Tip for the eye: Switch stances all the time, and as soon as the Shadow stance is ready, go in and do lifedrain. Dont forget to use your iceblock either when he does long cast spells.

Excited to see if there's a quest reward or if this is a daily quest ;)

@ Troby: Tip for second boss is use the Jump-dive-thingy as much as you can, meaning: Run away when there's a pack of mobs, long enough to jump and dive into them, causes a huge ammount of dmg. As well as when you see a Gan'arg running at you, throw at them and steal their HP. Use the special just before the last demon spawns. Remember to throw at the Towers, gl ;)

I've seen the avi of this event - can't figure out how the demons stay alive from all the damage they must be getting, unless someone is spam healing them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is there a point to this stupid quest? I mean, what do you get if you complete it? Rep? Cool armor/weapons? What?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So far as I've seen the stages go like this.

1)enslave a felguard guy and kill felhunters and imps until the sheild is down on the portal.

2) Doomguard spawns out of portal and you must fight him to enslave him

3)Once you've taken over the Doomguard there are waves of Gan'arg drillers and tinkerer looking guys. Kill big ones, AoE the little ones before they have the ability to put down their mini fel cannons. After 2-3 waves...

4)Engage Shivan Assassin and take her over.

5)Next use the Shivan Assassin to fight the eye of shartuul. Keep moveing. Try to avoid the energy storm looking spells all around. Defeat him. See other posts for mor strategies.

6)Finally you get to fight Shartuul himself. The Fel stalks on the ground will do dmg, try to AoE them occasionally if you get a chance. The Assassin has an amazing flame buffet effect. If you get this far and have buddies who are fire-type casters, haveing them on the side is FANTASTIC. My 70 Warlock was dealing 100K (no kidding) incinerates and still not pulling off the assassin. Once he's dead, you're all done.

DOn't know the outcome of the quest. Have only been a helping hand to someone who did finish it.

why does the event end for me everytime i see the first boss? it just brings me back to my body with full hp

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i just got to shartuul and it is hard as $%^&, other bosses are easy. For the doomguard all u gotta do is fear, charge, axe throw and then punishing blow. Rinse and Repeat. Shivan Assasin- i suggest u use ur special here and for the rest of the time just use axe throw and then punishing blow for major damage, and use the jump for stun. For the Eye all u gotta do is keep dpsing him in shadow form. I used siphon and then death blast for some nice healing and then used the shadow AoE when he got too close. However, when he starts to use his big glare. You HAVE TO ICEBLOCK, if you do not its not even worth trying this fight. Once u get to the doggy just keep running away from him, pausing once in a while to siphon and death blast. DPS this guy mostly in Fire form switching back to shadow just to heal urself. Ice form isnt really needed here unless u wanna freeze him, your choice. I hear that you are sposed to keep a life drain on Shartuul at all times and then just dps him in fire form, all the while killing the stalks. Hard as !@#$, havent beaten him yet. I'll be sure to post a good strat if i ever do :P.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I finally figured out how to live long enough to use the hammer enough times to break the shield, then the other demon comes out and kills me. How am I supposed to "enslave" the other demon?

Kommentar von Hairband

If you try to turn in a Darkune to this guy and it gives you an error message, and you can't turn it in, this is the post for you.

Duplicate Darkrune: You may have a duplicate Darkrune in your bank, or in the blue bag from Banish More Demons. When you go to turn it in, you may receive a message saying you have a duplicate. Make sure you do not have more than one or you won't get the Crystalforged Darkune (blue one) which you'll need to start the event. You technically can have 3 or more: one or more in the blue bag which is in your inventory and which you will NOT be able to remove, another Darkrune can be in your inventory, and another can be in your bank. Make sure you check all these places if you are getting frustrated, and delete all but 1 so you can turn it in for your Crystalforged Darkrune.
Duplicate Crystalforged Darkrune (blue rune): If you have one of these dagnabbit things in your bank, you won't be able to turn in the Darkrune and get a 2nd. You can't have 2 of this item either and start the event. It's just a pissy little event.

After you give your ONE Darkrune and get your ONE Crystalforged Darkrune, and don't have any extras, THEN you can start the quest at the little portal dealie just north of Ogri'la (due East from Skyguard Camp).
