As an Alliance rogue (human) I had an issue where the guards, Elling Trias, and even doors were not spawning. The only way for me to get them to populate as required was to log out to the character screen and log back in. At least the game remembered to keep me stealthed. I had to do this for each stage of the scenario with the exception of the final stage that takes place in the Keep. I reported as a bug but this is a workaround for those that don't want to wait.

1. The Unseen Blade (Scenario)
• Accept the quest, The Unseen Blade, from Garona Halforcen at coords 36.8, 52.6 (Elwynn Forest).

Stage 1 - On High Alert
• Travel northwest to just outside the gates of Stormwind City, at coords 32.2, 49.7.
• Listen to Master Mathias Shaw converse with Garona Halforcen.
• Activate/maintain your Stealth and proceed into Stormwind City.

Stage 2 - Live Drop
• Travel down the Valley of Heroes, into the Stormwind City Trade District (toward coords 66.1, 76.8), and use Sap on any of the Stormwind City Patroller mobs. They are identifiable with the blue-green "eye" above their heads, while you are under Stealth.
- - The key is to target these mobs well outside of both your and their range, and use Sap as soon as they enter range. It should be noted that they can see through your Stealth at almost the same time as when Sap is available.
- - If you don't Sap them in time, they will use a Hooked Net, and break through your Stealth. If that happens, activate Vanish.
• After reaching 66, 76, proceed into Trias Cheese shop, and go upstairs.
• Click on the Smoke Bombs, located on the table near Elling Trias.

Stage 3 - Tricks of the Trade
• Activate your Stealth, and go downstairs.
• Travel northwest to the Trade District Auction House at 61.6, 72.3.
• Go inside the Auction House/Trader's Hall and use the Smoke Bomb, you were provided.

Stage 4 - To Catch a Cultist
• Go outside, and use Pick Pocket on a Suspicious City Guard until you find the Coded Message. After you receive the it, Read Coded Message.

Stage 5 - Rendezvous
• Travel northeast, into the Old Town District to coords 73.9, 61.7.
• Cut through the alley, continuing to 74.7, 55.9.

Stage 6 - We Need Answers
• Click on the door to the tavern to pick the lock, and go inside.
• Kill the Veiled Witness first, followed next with the pair of Veiled Fanatic mobs.
• After killing the first group, you will face off against Sister Althea Ebonlocke and her pets: Gloom and Shadetalon.

Stage 7 - On the Trail
• After killing Sister Althea Ebonlocke, activate your Stealth and exit the building. Proceed northwest toward 70.1, 52.9.
• Sap the nearby Ironforge Rifleman, as he can also see through your Stealth.
• Once you reach the canals, turn right, proceeding to coords 72.4, 47.2, in the direction of the Keep.
• Use Shadowstep on Lucas Severing, but don't attack him! Instead, continue northeast, and up the stairs, to 82.6, 29.8.
- - Remember to Sap any guards that can see through your stealth, but now also avoid the semi-stealth Explosive Traps located on the ground.
• Enter the Keep, continuing northeast, toward the throne to 84.6, 32.1.
• Use Shadowstep on the Fatigued Ritualist.

Stage 8 - Marked for Death
• After the cut-scene, defeat Melris Malagan.

Stage 9 - Dark Gift
• After killing the Herald, Garona Halforcen will drop her daggers on the ground, for you to pick up.
• Pick up The Kingslayers, to claim your artifact weapon.

Stage 10 - Taking Your Leave (Final Stage)
• Master Mathias Shaw shows up to kick you out of Stormwind City.
• After listening to Master Mathias Shaw, you and Garona Halforcen will travel southeast to 86.9, 37.2.
• Click the Portal to Dalaran.
• Travel back to your Order Hall.
- - One of the entrances is located southeast, in the Glorious Goods store at 52, 70. Enter the store and show your insignia to "Red" Jack Findle.
- - Enter the Hidden Corridor and follow it downstairs. Follow the subsequent tunnel to the Chamber of Shadows.
• Turn in the quest to Garona Halforcen, located at 42.3, 73.8.

I'm very strongly reminded of this classic bit of WoW machinima.

Comment by Darthvixen

i came here because my Carbonite addon quest module won't display the buttons to deploy the smoke bomb nor read the coded message. had to re-enable the default UI quest frame in order to do this scenario.

apparently it was brought up to the addon author but not taken care of

http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54898

so, in conclusion Carbonite addon users take note. hopefully it'll be fixed but just disable the Carbonite quest module and this scenario can proceed

Comment by Wimbleton

This all got to be a little too much Edge of Tomorrow for me. Sorry. At some point it ceases being fun, then it become work, then it becomes an intolerable grind. I haven't reached the point where I've asked for my money back because there are so many other interesting things to do. The internal mechanics in this series of quests are broken. Of course stealth-spotting guards can see you but then that means the others can't, right? Well sometimes they can't and sometimes they...can. It works both ways: Althea's guards died a lot easier than they should have. Is this consistent inconsistency part of the plan? I think I'll switch to my Afflock and take out Leningrad.

To enter the Hidden Corridor in order to turn in the quest after slaying Melris Malagan, click the torch on the right of the arch-shaped bookcase (just behind the Master of Cheese vendor, Elling Trias).

Comment by drpimento

had a weird one - having UI problems (this time around can see and interact with smoke bombs, but nothing in my bag, in the hall, nothing.) AGAIN, so went to rename the three files and all I had were the old renamed files, none of the current UI files! So I deleted all the old ones, yet in game all addons were there. So I uninstalled the game. See what happens now.UPDATE- the damn addys are still there! Finally spoke with a tech, got addons removed. Didn't work.No smoke bomb in bags; no way to use a smoke bomb in Auction (Counting) House. Then tried to reopen the phone call ticket and got "Unable to reopen ticket, problem on our end." So had to start a new ticket.

Comment by peoriapeg

I died close to the Dwarven District and the graveyard was at Eastvale Logging Camp. Then had to hoof it all the way back to my body and THEN try to get back to the VERY BEGINNING meeting Mathias at gate to Stormwind and start ALL over. Since the quest started over, forget it. I'll be lvl 110 very very soon anyway.

Comment by johnny2136

I guess you cant do this quest in time walking at level 10 no shadow step in shadowlands patch?

Comment by Ramei

This quest is available at level 10 requring skills not available at level 10 is absurd

Comment by Booquwifius

Quest is completely bugged for me, stuck at hand in section and the NPC just isnt spawning at all. Tried /reload, tried logging in and logging off. tried reseting my pc, tried blizzard support and it still displays them 800 ft below where they should be in the sea but they also not there. Any way I can fix this?

Comment by Leviathan2444

For me turning off all addons and reloading helped to use the smoke bomb

The Unseen Blade

Help Garona take out the Veiled Hand cultists in Stormwind.

	Obtain the Kingslayers (1)
	Return to the Hall of Shadows (1)

Description

Stormwind is too important to fall to the Legion, and I don't trust Shaw or his SI:7 goons to take care of the Hand on their own.

The two of us will have to handle this while there's still time.

Use extreme caution. The entire city is on edge from murmurs of the cult's activities, and we're already kill on sight.

The other Shadows spoke highly of your skills. Are you in?
