This is the updated quest for cataclysm. Instead of stitches attacking the town head on and allowing anyone to kill him, and without risk of him killing npc's, (s)he now simply spawns outside a phased version of the town hall in with the nightwatch attacking him. It is important to note that there is NO rush in fighting him, he will neither take damage or deal damage from and to the nightwatch npcs. This also means that he can't be "taken care of" by the npc's either :)

Abercrombie is also sitting on his shoulder in his full necromantic attire!

Blizzard makes good use of phasing on this one. In addition to Stitches you'll find the town on fire. It was quite the scene.

Comment by TDSunryzeX

Sorry, but Abercrombie & Stitch?

BAD joke..

Comment by 11294

Stitches is a 23 elite and basically impossible to solo at the level range the quest is offered.

The guards can tank but do it poorly.

In order to kill it, one has to either kite Stitches around with the help of the guards daze, or very carefully manage their aggro so that the abomination won't kill them.

So I don't know about anyone else.. but he wrecked me on my rogue..

Comment by VonNegga

I don't know if it's a bug or "working as intended" but, as a hunter, my pet would not attack Stitches. Be warned hunters, if you do this quest you'll be doing it alone since the guards don't actually damage him.

Comment by Orksrda1

If you are having difficulty with this quest, as I was with my mage, you can abandon the quest if Stitches makes it up to you and then re-acquire it at the quest giver. Stitches will reset aggro but will stay at his last position and have the same health he had when it was abandoned. It's a cheap way to finish it, but it works to kill him.

I knew he was evil all the time i mean...*Thank the nec... *The box reax of dead stuff... *Zombie juice... *Ghoul ribs...

Comment by GreenLink

Solo'd Stitch tonight on my 19 twink rogue. He had 2k HP but he hits slow. Just pot, evasion and recuperate so you won't panic.

FYI, I tried to group with an 85 for this but he phased out as well since he doesn't have the quest.

Comment by Neverknow

And this proves us that were you to give players a load of experience and gold plus some epics as reward, and all you ask them to do is start the Apocalypse, they would quite certainly do it.

Comment by 112951

I'm reading comments not that much helpful so, to the ones who are planning to do this quest, better to clear some points.

The Night Watch Guards won't tank Stitches but only take him 'busy'. There is no aggro table, just touch the abomination with a finger and he start hitting you. This also mean that if you die fighting with Stitches the Night Watch Guards don't let him evade neither reset his health.
In few words: you don't need any sort of twink gear and don't have to waste pots in this fight.
Only hit him as hard as you can and if you die, just die, corpse res and fight again, Stitches will be there in the same point and with the same health he have when you died.

Enjoy the fight!

... for a reward of 2 silver and 2 linen cloth.

Feh.

Did he become a necromancer because the Death of his wife Eliza?

Comment by Alvtron

If you are doing this quest in lvl 90, and you have a hard time getting the trigger after killing him, wait until the guards around him lowers his health to 85% (he won't go any lower). Then proceed to kill him.

Not exactly the most useful information, but Stitches can be affected by a Death Knight's Control Undead. Abercrombie continues to sit on his shoulder, pointing at things, and the nightwatch guards just wander off.

Comment by QuartrDollarKing

Oh sure Darkshire catches on fire and gets put out at the end of the quest but Sentinel Hill has to keep burning forever!

Comment by WoWGnGP

Comment by kharoas

Curiously Anchorite Delan is not present in the Town Hall while Stitches is outside.

Comment by njdss4

Ok, so I'm trying this quest out on the PTR for 8.0.1, the BfA pre-patch. This quest is extremely difficult to do alone now after the stat squish. Stitches hits like an absolute truck, and if I hadn't had full heirlooms (the necklace with the heal especially) and defensive cooldowns on my Arms Warrior, I probably wouldn't have been able to do this. Specs that can kite or that have pets that can tank this for you will fare far better here.

Comment by Lithari81

As a fire mage, i just can't do it, i can barely get his health to 50%, the shield i have gets used up in 2 hits and that is a single cast of fireball, so its just not possible on your own as a fire mage and running around like an idiot kiting a single mob is abit tedious.

Comment by Akushalah

I can confirm, as of 8.0, Stitches hits HARD. If you don't have a pet to tank, I found that the advice posted here--to just die and corpse rez--worked. Hit Stitches as hard as you can, and when you're killed, the abom's health will not reset, so you can continue the fight.

Comment by Wingdings

One of my favorite quest lines in WoW, I remember doing this as my gnome warrior.

Comment by TheCopperkid

Stitches was in the second floor of the inn for me.

Comment by Sintharia

Impossible as of 9.2
