Baron Rivendare
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruBaron Rivendare is the final boss of Stratholme's Undead side, one of the Scourge's Death Knights. He is famous for the legendary Deathcharger's Reins mount and the timed Baron Run to rescue Ysida Harmon.
Deathcharger's Reins
Death magic
Unholy Aura
Tactics
- The Baron hits hard physically and uses Cleave and Mortal Strike (reduces healing) — face him away from the group; the healer heals with a buffer.
- Skeletons under an Unholy Aura stand in his hall: clear them before the pull or they join the fight.
- He occasionally uses Shadow Shock (shadow AoE) — don't stack up needlessly.
Deathcharger's Reins (mount)
- The Baron drops Deathcharger's Reins — a rare undead steed. Official chance ~0.8–1%; on x5 farming is faster thanks to quick runs, but it stays down to luck.
- Farm the mount with repeated Baron Runs: enter Main Gate, go straight to the Baron, kill, reset and repeat.
Baron Run — the 45-minute timer
- Inside is a captive, Ysida Harmon. Kill the Baron within 45 minutes of entering and she is freed, granting a quest reward (useful items and Argent Dawn reputation).
- The timer starts on entry; go straight: Barthilas → three ziggurats → Ramstein → Baron. On x5 it's easy to beat.
