About Stratholme
Stratholme is the burned city where the Scourge's plague broke the kingdom of Lordaeron. Its streets are split between the Scarlet Crusade's last bastion on one side and the undead quarter ruled by Baron Rivendare on the other, and both halves are among the most played runs at level 60.
On Keldurn, Stratholme follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so the run still rewards a balanced group, crowd control and a careful pull.
Stratholme wings and bosses
Stratholme is split into 2 wings that load as separate instances, so a group can choose one per run.
Living side (levels 58 to 60): Timmy the Cruel, Malor the Zealous, Cannon Master Willey, Archivist Galford and Balnazzar.
Undead side (levels 58 to 60): Magistrate Barthilas, Nerub'enkan, Baroness Anastari, Maleki the Pallid, Ramstein the Gorger and Baron Rivendare.
How to reach Stratholme
Ride to the north of the Eastern Plaguelands. The main gate leads to the living side; the service gate around the eastern wall leads straight to the undead side.
Tips for a first run
Bring a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and agree on loot rules before the first pull.
- Run the undead side within the time limit to save the prisoner held by Baron Rivendare.
- Ziggurats each hold an acolyte group; clear them to open the path to the Baron.
- On the living side, the Scarlet forces in the Bastion hit hard in tight halls; use crowd control.
