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

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" (http://www.wowhead.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 < opposed to the cell marked by n

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.

The quest is very easy. You just have to bear this in mind: don't forget your aim as to freeing Marshall Windsor's friends and getting back his gear. And Marshal Maxwell will go you through with the instructions. That will give you rewards and gains you never imagine having one.

Funnily enough , noone has yet pointed out the fact that this is one of the steps towards the drakefire amulet chain (aka Onyxia Attutement).

This quest is rendered useless after the release of the expansion , i guess people will prefer to do other instances. :)

Some tips:

I ran this as a lvl 70 lock with a lvl 50 pally and a lvl 52 lock. They pretty much watched as I cleared. I cleared the ring around Windsor's cell, but didn't bother with the ring around the 'ring of law'.

If you have a felguard, be careful with the 'cleave' ability by the outside of the storage room. One thing I wasn't expecting when clearing the area by the storage room was that when having the felguard tank a mob outside the storage room, mobs INSIDE the storage room got hit with cleave -- and aggro'd -- and came running out. Luckily my Felguard can tank well, and 'seed of corruption' came in handy, as well as a healing pot.

Once Windsor has his armor on (in the storage room), it takes an act of God to kill him. He can definitely hold his own very well. We had no problems clearing the area around the ring of law with him. If you don't clear, be prepared for non-stop fighting, though. :-) It's actually kinda fun as a lvl 70.

i cant talk to Marshal Windsor....can any one tell me what to do?

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!

Do not leave the instance before the quest sauys the objective is complete or you will have to reset the instance and do it all over again.

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.

yea clearing the trash is vital... this isnt a regular walks slower then a crawl guy. he waits for nobody.... his life is not a concern to him. slow down!

This is the path that Marshal Windsor will take during this quest.

Comment by Discolando

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

Comment by adashiel

If you previously managed to make it to the Drakefire Amulet quest and it's still in your log, you can complete the original Onyxia line. After 3.0.2, we went to UBRS for Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy! 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 General Drakkisath dropped his Blood of the Black Dragon Champion. I visited Haleh 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 Drakefire Amulet.

I don't think anybody has mentioned this but this seems to be a reference to Prison Break.

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.
