Captain Kendall is at 51,86

Comment by Ramsay

To start this chain players have to do these quest chains:

The Shadow Vault questline, starting with It's All Fun And Games
The quest chain at the Argent Vanguard, starting with Honor Above All Else that ends with The Crusader's Pinnacle.

This quest becomes available once the quest The Skybreaker is completed.

Comment by SwyDI

im at the exact coords and i cannot spot this guy at all... even have a /target macro for him and i just cant seem to find him

Comment by 64829

he's on the ground. 51,86

Comment by chop360

When you say that the "It's All Fun and Games" questline has to be completed, does that include all quest up until the final challenge?

Comment by Floral

Id say this is one of the best quest chains in all Ice crown, why? because the end quest, Field Repairs, leads to Do Your Worst, which is yet another chain which has Army of the Damned, one of THE most interesting quests (lore wise id say) in Ice crown, and very fun.

Comment by Xyolexus

I have unlocked The Skybreaker, Crusader's Pinnacle and The Shadow Vault.

Still can't pick up the quest :(

Comment by 137671

Ive done all the pre-req quests... and I dont have cords. Does anyone have a map/dot? Maybe Im retarded, but I cant find the place.

Comment by 260200

I had that try death rise above the Fleshworks ( you need a flying mount to get there i think). After i completed the quests there I was able to do dailies on the skybreaker

Comment by 293790

go to the court of bones the steps to the icecrown citadel, now jump of the steps on either side to the ground and go to the sides of of the steps , either right or left, and now move in towards the citadel, you will see some very hard to see slits in the wall, their camoflaged from above coz they blend so well in the wall.

Comment by 306669

There is a large crack in the wall along the west side of the citadel.

Around 50,85-86

Comment by 14305

Well ive got the quest, and im in the right spot with Valiance Commando's but he does not appear.

Hints?

Comment by HaddonEast

Im glad someone finaly said where the coords are, rather than telling how to get the quest (wouldnt be on this page if we didnt have it) Do'h.

Comment by Aurlon

If you're sure you're at the right spot but still can't find him the chances are that he's dead. If he gets attacked by one of the hostile mobs in the area and doesn't get help he will die. Respawn seems to be about 5 minutes.

Comment by Iceleaf

NOTE:
This is one of the quest-chains that will possibly make you phased out in the summoning stone area in Icecrown citadel raids summoning stone. I suggest, that you will suggest everyone in your guild to do this quest chain to see each other.
Same suggestion goes to
The Fate of Bloodbane

Comment by 639563

Why i don't see NPCs beafore ICC? I have this quest and done 114 quests in Icecrown, but i don't see them.

Comment by MsPhelix

Repeating: coords are 51,86 : he is in a big area down under part of the Citadel.

Repeating cavemanrunneth's comment on Captain Kendall's WoWHead page:
"He is a little difficult to find, even the posts on this page aren't very helpful so I thought I would break it down barney style for ppl like myself..

Fly south towards the entrance to ICC.

Stop when you get the the large battering ram at the top of the stairs, before entering the area where the instance portal is.

Turn approximately 90 degrees clockwise and fly STRAIGHT until you see the summoning stone. (msphelix: it's on the same level as the ram and not far from it.)

Postion yourself directly above the summoning stone and turn about 45 degrees clockwise.

You should be looking over the ledge, centered between two spikes with skulls on them.

Go straight foward and down, you will have to u-turn to the left at ground level.

Hope this helps :)"

Comment by Scarmist

"Any friend of Thassarian's is my friend. Well, any living friend of Thassarian, that is... He does keep odd company."

I'm a Death Knight, and I am offended.

Comment by RedragonAuchin

The quest start at the The Skybreaker! Thassarian has a blue mark because you can do dailies, but he has the quest to offer!

Exploiting an Opening

Speak to Captain Kendall below Icecrown Citadel.

Description

I've got an interesting assignment for you, <name>. If you're up for a challenge, that is.

We've been tipped off about an opening below Icecrown Citadel. Our engineers have studied the layout and have decided it's a structural weakness.

We've sent some men there along with some "borrowed" saronite bombs. They're under Captain Kendall's command.

With a little help we could deal a huge blow to the forces of the Scourge. What do you say, <name>?
