A good idea to complete this quest is to clean all the path that will take the Marshal before starting it.

Map: https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=1584:4847744579684336974097964438364277394947164746734778954119284... https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=1584:4847744579684336974097964438364277394947164746734778954119284...
You need to clean the hall in front of the entrance, the path around the arena and the path around the rooms in the south (all this is marked with dots). Don't forget to clean the small room in the north-west of point 5 before starting the quest (this is marked by a little stack of dots).

Since this is one of the most time consuming escort quests in the game (due to a lot of trash clearing) make absolutely sure that everyone in your group has completed the Quest ""A Shred of Hope"" (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4282 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4282) before starting this one. Once the event is running, it can only be started anew by resetting the instance and clearing all the trash again, afaik.

The most critical part of the quest is the storage room located near the end of the first circular path Windsor will be walking. (http://atlasmod.com/Maps/BlackrockDepths.jpg http://atlasmod.com/Maps/BlackrockDepths.jpg &lt; opposed to the cell marked by n2). This room needs to be cleared of trash as well before starting the quest, since there will be several new spawns inside the room when the quest starts. (Afaik, Windsor will now open the door to this room prior to walking in. In previous game versions he did the Copperfield-thing and walked through the closed door. This of course made it rather hard to support him and enter the fight in due time, often causing the quest to fail.)

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run out of the instance without speaking with Windsor first to complete the quest. You will have to run the instance all over again.

WARNING!

If you fail this quest.(either your group is wiped or the escort is dead)
You will have to reset the whole instance and do everything all over again!
The Marshal will not respawn after he's killed(or at least he won't respawn before the mobs do...)

Also, after he stepped out of his jail room, he could walk both ways...

Seeing as how this is an Event Quest, it is not sharable at any time. Also, you'll want to obviously clear out the patrols that block the way from Marshal Windsor exiting the cell to the LEFT direction.

**You will have to check more cells, there will be more Patrols that you did not clear on the way over here that circle around from the other side, make sure you stand clear of them too. Respawn rates are slow you dont have to worry about that. It's also a good idea to let Marshal Windsor draw the aggro first, he is more armored than any party member and can be healed and buffed. Before entering a cell that Marshal Windsor asks you to open, make sure that its at THAT moment where you stop for a rest (regenerate mana and health and rebuff)

For this, you will most likely a strong healer, a armored tank, and a Paladin to hog the Aggro from all other party members. Marhsal Windsor will attack at random, make sure you leave alone the target he chooses, as you would with a Hunter's Pet. When you breach the end of this event, talk to Marshal Windsor and then you are able to roam the rest of Blackrock Depths as you wish and leave him there. When you leave the instance, he will too (hearthstone, portal, walking, anything)

It's been a long journy and you're almost done!

This Escort was painfully long as a solo holy pally in T4/ kara/ badge gear. Also the shield bashes were driving me nuts but lucky they do them like they are on a timer. The fact he did almost a complete loop of the prison sucked but if your bored and don't know what to do one day. Doing this part of the onyxia attunement is fun. had so much loot it filled all my 18 and 20 slot bags.

As of tomorrow, patch 3.0.2, this quest line will no longer be available. Sad.

If you previously managed to make it to the https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=6502"">(Quest #6502) quest and it's still in your log, you can complete the original Onyxia line. After 3.0.2, we went to UBRS for ?achievement=2188"">(Achievement #2188) and decided to just clear the rest of it. Even though it'd been close to a year since I'd visited the Upper Spire, I still had the quest, and https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10363"">(NPC #10363) dropped his https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=16663"">(Item #16663). I visited https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10929"">(NPC #10929) to see if she could still finish the quest, and sure enough she did. Even though it's no longer necessary and I'd gotten it before on other characters, I was very pleased when she gave me my https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=16309"">(Item #16309).

Why did they take this out?

I mean, those who've been at this game since the beginning remember some good times doing this quest. Not to mention this quest was a stepping stone to Onyixa, when she was the endgame.
