The first of many impressive quests for the Death Knight starting area!

Right click on the orb on the middle of the platform. A floating eye will come out, after a short cut-scene of it floating down to the town you will have full control to fly around.
Be wary to stay within the confines of the town, as flying elsewhere will cancel the spell.

You have 3 main abilities.
1.) Siphon of Acherus - Approach a building and cast a channeled spell to analyse the building.
2.) Summon Ghouls - A targeted spell usable on the ground that will summon ghouls that attack the Scarlet Crusade and townsfolk. Use this to distract them long enough to stop attacking you so you can analyse the buildings.
3.) Shroud - Cloaks the eye. Spell casting will break the ability.

Buildings that require analysing will have a red arrow mark above them.
New Avalon Forge - 61, 60
New Avalon Town Hall - 53, 71
Scarlet Hold - 60, 69
Chapel of the Crimson Flame - 52, 81

After you have analysed all 4 buildings cancel the eye, or use the recall ability, and speak to the Lich King.

The chapel is the trickiest. Fly in, drop your Ghoul and do a quick analyze. Then fly out. You'll take damage, but you should make it.

Comment by 115364

i have to say i found the wierdest bug / whatever it is in this quest... i seemed not able to even watch the vision of the eye, simply a black screen (i did complete it tho, took me a coord addon and some watching the mini map, but i did it eventually. died like 15 times tho.... might be because my computer isnt that up to date, just to warn anyone also experiencing this.

Comment by Teemu

1. Use The Crystal orb Next to Lich king, It will Fly u to Scarlet town 2. Analyze the town (( U can only use the eye for 2 Minutes! So be fast))

((Dunno if its 2 when this comes but still... XD))
3. the Ghoul Strike is AoE so its good for mobs

Comment by 36140

Use Summon Ghouls on the big crowd of villagers outside the Scarlet Hold for endless entertainment.

Comment by 112837

I had trouble finding the Eye control towers -- looked all over the Freakin Citadel.

They're on either side of the Lich King -- mini turrets or altars with a blue sphere on top.

Comment by 65030

I found the Chapel of the Crimson Flame at 52,35.

Comment by Gordal

If you had the walk/run key toggled to walk while plodding about Acherus (default: Numpad /), then the Eye will move extremely slowly towards the town.

You can't toggle the slow-walking while controlling the Eye itself, especially before you gain control of it, so you pretty much have to cancel your control and repeat the process again while running.

The automatic flight down to New Avalon takes several mind-numbing minutes while the Eye is "walking". So if you tried to be a careful roleplayer like a certain moocow whose name I've just forgotten right now by plodding patiently around Acherus, then you might want toggle back to a fast run before using the controller.

Comment by 233928

Didn't need to fight at all ...

Think like a Rogue. Hit stealth the instant you get the thing under your control, and just walk to the back of each building, analyze it there out of everyone's sight, and go back to stealth.

Wash, rinse, and repeat as needed.

Easy.

Comment by 218695

I just floated over the marks and used siphon. Once the analysis was done I hit shroud and moved on to the the next target. No problem

Comment by 150084

i had a bit of trouble trying to find the chapel as my questhelper was in the way. The chapel is up the back of the orchard. best bet for all of these buildings is to go to the back on top of the roof and do it and you wont even get aggroed. If you go to far away from where you are supposed to be (which i did a few times before i realised what was going on :P), you get teleported back to the platform where the lich king is and you have to get the eye again. any progress you have already will still be there. you just have to get the eye again. On a side note- Very "Lord of the Rings" isn't it!

Comment by 291856

This was a lot easier than it sounds. Basically, after you get control of the Eye, just fly to the locations marked by the arrows in front of the buildings you need to inspect. When you get over an arrow, just drop down a bit and hit your Siphon. You don't even need to get close to the ground. Just stay way above the NPCs and the arrow. It seemed like proper height above the arrows was about half way to the ground.

Don't go to the back. Don't go to the side. Just fly above the arrows.

Make sure you don't try to drop down until you are sure you are over the arrow. You MAY draw some NPCs, but you can probably complete the Siphon before they can kill you, because the only people that can hurt the eye is the NPCs with ranged weapons.

Comment by 293430

Im not really getting how to do this. =(

Comment by 253034

i had a very hard time finding the chapel of the crimson flame. here's the directions to it:

from the initial point where you gain control of the eye find the dirth path under you that branches away from the rock paths and follow it, you should be heading south. take right at the first, second, and third forks of the dirt path and you will be right in front of the chapel

Comment by dreadblood

hehe if you do the ghould thing where abbendis is making a speech its hilarious because all the citizens go crazy

Comment by 418786

ok well i must be having a bug issue or something? when i get zoomed to town and i have control of the eye, i cant analyze anything, i cant use my ghoul, and i cant even aggro anything. i can stealth and recall. i can also fly in any direction for days and it doesnt send me back. anyone had any similar issues?

Comment by 360401

I've analyzed the chapel and town hall, but it won't let me analyze the forge... >.<

Comment by 436170

I've analyzed the chapel and town hall, but it won't let me analyze the forge ...same problem i am getting :S
anyone help ?

Comment by 438992

Dude i cant manipulate that eye if ill move it will get interrupted and i dont know how else to control it plz help me

Comment by blackfox00

nice.............

Comment by 475735

Little Tidbit... The number of Ghouls summoned will be determined by how many people you launch the spell on, so you can't mob one person... throw the spell at the biggest mob for the best results in mayhem...

The ghouls are meant to be a distraction so of course they won't kill everyone... but it's fun to see the mayhem and people running around scared

afterwards I just threw this spell on random people til It got old...

Comment by BlackMage66652

The completion text hints at events revealed later on in Northrend surrounding the Leader of the Scarlet Onslaught...

Spoilers ahoy.

Comment by 458823

lol i have an idea. You know how a ton of people run to fight the ghouls when they come? Well, if you can get it in a place where your ghouls could stay alive for 20 secs you could use the army thing again for a massive army!
Of course this probably wouldnt work, but itd be fun!

Comment by Ketho

Eye of Acherus
1) Siphon of Acherus
2) Summon Ghouls On Scarlet Crusade -> Call of the Dead, Vengeful Ghoul
3) Shroud
5) Recall Eye of Acherus

Comment by 558249

This is actually one of the more annoying quests for DKS for me.If you get attacked by more than one archer,you have to do shroud because the ghouls are too weak to take on even one.

Comment by 660890

By impressive quest you mean completely retarded, right?

Comment by spartondan

Well its only retarded when it doesent work >_<

Comment by Hamerood

When I tried to do this, I had to make and delete 5 dks because when I tried to siphon, it would say "pet out of range".

WTF is up with this?

Comment by 815647

This quest is awful, especially if you use Carbonite, the minimap doesn't show the eye's coordinates, and if you toggle to maximized map it won't make any difference. I don't know if you can drop this quest but I got bored after minutes trying to find the locations , and all I found was an empty village with no people, damn is that normal ? in the comments above you say that you had to fight the villagers and stuff by summoning the ghouls ... The other thing is that - I dunno if it is a problem of my computer- every time I press the esc key, the games instanly closes :/

Comment by gardogg

same exact thing here wtf...

Comment by 81756

I thought this quest was bugged, but it turned out my brain was bugged. There's no need to cross the bridge to go toward the large cathedral - the chapel (the holy building you really want) is small and is on the same side as all the other buildings. D'oh!

Comment by 853358

i am having problem with that quest ! When i take control over the eye it doesn't go to the village and i wait for quite some time. I can control it with the moving keys but i am only floating in the sky and i can't do the quest from there .... can someone help please ?

Comment by 874095

I have a problem with the quest. Every time I want to spy on the chaple,the last place for the quest,the moment I start taking-in the information,it takes automaticly takes me out of the eye-bubble for some reason. Whats wrong ? please answer me asap

This is a tribute to Eye of Soragon. (Lord of the Rings)

Comment by 925880

Tips:

- Activate Shroud (3) when moving
- Arrows float above each target
- Get behind or above each target to Siphon (1)
- If you get lost, find the center of town.
-- Scarlet Hold: East from town center
-- New Avalon Forge: NE from town center
-- New Avalon Town Hall: SE from town center
-- Chapel of the Crimson Flame: S from New Avalon Town Hall

Comment by 928658

did it relly quick-

look at this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwHYNzPEHyg

Comment by DesertFly3

Despite appearances to the contrary (primarily the large model), the eye only takes up as much space as a typical player character. You can easily steer the eye inside any building inside New Hearthglen and check out the sights (although I would recommend being shrouded to avoid unwanted attention from outside). Obviously there isn't much point, but, for an explorer like me, it's fascinating.

Comment by 1020041

i had no problem with the enemies in the area even without having shroud on. i literally just found all the targets and siphoned for the info

Comment by 1023810

To find Chapel of Crimson Flame:

When you're facing the entrance of the Town Hall, simply turn 45' to your left and keep moving until you hit it.
Alternately, when you're facing the Scarlet Hold entrance, turn about 130' to your right and keep moving until you hit it. Either way, you go past the orchard fields (on your left) and if you hit the mountains, you've gone too far.
All four buildings are marked by red target arrows (like a hunter's mark).
All four buildings are close together, within New Avalon and are NOT shown by coords or the current questmarker, so ignore those unless you want to be confused for ages!

thanks kibitzer

Comment by 941150

Not sure if it's an addon causing trouble, but pressing escape automatically jumps me out of the eye. Useful at the end of the quest. Less useful when I'm trying to close my map and have to fly all the way back down.

Comment by rslogic

If anyone else is having a problem with this quest, here's what's happening for me.

On past DKs, you'd see some kind of graphic for "Siphon of Acherus" actually doing something.

This time around, I see no graphic whatsoever, but if I stay in place after pressing 1, it eventually comes off as having completed the scouting.

Just have faith ;)

Edit: If it doesn't complete within about 5 seconds of pressing Siphon, you might not be in the right place. Move away from enemy fire and try a slightly different location.

Comment by bwoolley1

Would like to add an issue I found; if you use elvui you may not see the cast bar and wander around wondering why the spell won't work (I SO didn't do this). It isn't instant cast so if you can't see the cast bar disable elvui or wait until the quest objective pops up.

Comment by skimpy

This was so unnecessarily confusing. Don't look at the map. Only the minimap. Fly high above the buildings that you spot on the minimap, which will be in a blue circle or in the direction of the yellow arrow. Hit 1 to analyze then go to next yellow arrow / blue circle.

Comment by Lawliss

As of 11/30/2018, you can just go to the back of each building and press the button to complete quest.

Comment by Anxious

I learned the hard way not to press escape during this quest...

Comment by Liike

The arrows will not disappear once you've completed that building. Don't be like me and keep trying, make sure you track the quest xD. You should be able to hover over the roof and press "1" to syphon the info required for the quest. Also, if you hit exit on your "pet" it will take you back to Ebon hold, your progress will be saved and you don't have to start over. GL!

Comment by Andarist

Even after disabling all addons, the game disconnects me everytime the eye reaches the point where it transfers control to me. This may be one of the buggiest quests to date...

Comment by madmurdock

What worked for me

# plant army
# use cloak
# move to arrow until a ray appears and use your #1 spell

Use the mini map for locations, not the big map.

Links

Death Comes From On High

The Lich King commands you to use the Eye of Acherus to analyze the Scarlet Hold, New Avalon Forge, New Avalon Town Hall and the Chapel of the Crimson Flame.

Control the Eye of Acherus by using the Eye of Acherus Control Mechanism.

	New Avalon Forge Analyzed (1)
	New Avalon Town Hall Analyzed (1)
	Scarlet Hold Analyzed (1)
	Chapel of the Crimson Flame Analyzed (1)

Description

Towering above this platform is the eye of Acherus. From it you will call forth a probe that you will then use to analyze Scarlet Crusade fortifications at New Avalon. The eye has a host of powers that should make the acquisition of this data simple.

Use the eye's siphon to analyze the forge, town hall, hold, and chapel. The eye's control mechanisms are located on either side of this platform. Waste no more time, <name>.

The Scourge will have this place. The Lich King commands it!
