Hey guys, i've tried this method 5 times and everytime it fails when i have to re-bite my first alt because he is MC so i can't bite him. Do you know what I am doing wrong? Seeing the comments section the method seems to work fine so i think i'm messing up somewhere but can't figure out where :p
i have been trying since this game came out to finish my quest. found your guide, pulled Shadowmourne out of the bank, and just finally succeeded in getting the blood infusion. still works 2024. thank you so much
@ good luck. It’s taken me since that day lock out to get up to 42 shadowfrost shards. Still need 2 more lockouts to finally get the weapon, the drop rate is god awful!
As of shadowlands APR 2021, solo is still working. I recommend you disable 100% of addons if your having issue doing fast swaps, and open 2 wow windows that are in fulls creen + windowed mode. Its much faster to alt tab and put in password (which dc's the other window) then pressing alt+f4. Good luck!!
I’ve been looking for people to help me with this quest for a couple years and Stumble upon this vid.. awesome! Thank you for teaching me something so useful haha this is the best.
Thanks for this, clearest and most straightforward guide I've come across. For anyone looking for this as of May 2020: I did it yesterday, it still works exactly as described in this video. Just be aware that if you're clearing to Lana'thel with character 1 and then joining with characters 2 and 3 (and 4 if you like), you will need to leave the instance on character 1 and then run back in or you won't be able to see the rest of the group. I think it's something to do with different trash being cleared.
Finished the quest today. Been stuck on it for years. I did bring three alts after reading others had trouble recently, but with three alts, it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for this.
1st October 2020. This method works. Alt+f4'd straight after I pulled boss on main. everything went smoothly. I've been stuck on this part of the chain for like 8 years. I honestly cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I am forever in you debt. Haha.
May 6th 2020 still works!! Did it with two alts and I followed pretty much what Angelo Di Vincenzo said written down below for a more quick guide on it but thank you so much. It was a pain in the ass but definitely worth it
I just did this on my DK today on 03/16/2021! Used 3 alts, faced all against wall, then made 1st alt naked! Then followed your log in log out instructions and it worked great! Thank you so much for this vid!
Did it last night 04/23/19. I've had this quest since Wrath, and wasn't sure how I'd ever get it done. Thank you so much. I was having issue with slow load screen. Tips: I turned off all my addons and lowered graphics(just in case) and got it done no problem
Thanks so much! I got the Blood Infusion by doing this. I've been dreading getting this done for so long as I've got pretty bad social anxiety so finally getting it done is super exciting! Thanks. :D
You are a life saver! Just did this today 5/1/2020 on two characters, one starting the quests from scratch, and the other who was stuck at the blood infusion for over 5 years. My tips to those still struggling: I used 3 alts. They were all 120. I unequipped anything that could proc damage (removing the heart of azeroth turns most of this off on your gear) but keeping the rest of the gear for the hp. I positioned all the alts in the square in the middle of the room and then positioned my main just outside the square but pointed at it so I'd never have to move to bite someone and would always know where they were. The part that really got me over the hurdle was that I never 'engaged' the boss on any of my alts. The second an alt would load in I'd alt + F4, login to my main, and when it loaded they'd be ready to bite. Besides the initial pull I never attacked the boss, just switched characters as fast as possible to get the bites. Turn off ALL addons. The difference can literally be seconds in whether this works or not. I tried for over two hours the first time but on my second character running through I did it on the first attempt with these refinements. I have a nearly 10 year old computer so it can be done with some tweaking and I hope this helps someone. This has been a thorn in my side for nearly a decade so thank you so much to the video creator!
@@alexfarley5704 This was the biggest problem I had in my first hour of trying (as it takes a long time to set up again running all your characters back) but I turned off all other programs my computer was running and focused on load times. I should mention also that I have an SSD for my hard drive. I don't know if this could be accomplished on a slower computer with a regular drive. But the main point is, if you're logging into a dead character at any point, your load times are too long.
Holy shit, thank you so much. Took 3 attempts but after I just sat and watched your video and understood when to alt+f4 it was easy. I was giving myself too much time to wait for things,, I didnt realise it was so simple once you saw that debuff on the alt ALT+F4 and then repeat to the next. This quest has been in my logs for years and I never had the time to sort it out or try recruit people to help. Thank you! Now to grind the rest of this out so I can transmog it in Shadowlands :D
Took about 5 tried but I finally did blood infusion solo! It's a lot harder when your toons are on different realms lol, you have to be super quick. Thank you so much for the guide!
I had problems with my 1st alt not logging off during the swapping, so I had both alts on at the same time and couldn't bite one. So I needed to use a 3rd alt too. In addition to that, the mind control was a huge pain in the ass. If you're struggling with the MIND CONTROL, then to fix it log in your weakest alts first, 100s, 110s etc and unequip weapons and HoA on all characters before you start apart from your main. I was logging in my DH first and it was destroying my 110s, so had to switch the order up. So I started off with my 110s pal, then 116 monk - both of which I put into healer specs, so when they got mind controlled it didn't really matter. Eventually this worked a treat! Thanks to OP and everyone who commented about it, took a while for me to manage it due to the above reasons but got there in the end.
I had the first alt naked, from the other 2 I only removed trinkets and the heart of azeroth to avoid passive damage from anything Removing the heart, will disable all the azerite traits on your gear and your essences
Brilliant, thank you! Wasn't working for me at first as my main kept being dead when I logged back in after engaging the first alt in combat - disabling all addons did the trick and allowed me to switch fast enough.
@@istvanantal1431 they have to all be grouped together. I would have the main character get to blood queen. Than use the lfg tool to add all your alts go in. Never use logout, always use alt f4 when switching between them
@@Riproarin999 i did all that but it seems for some reason im still in different instance...il try ask my buddy to stay in maybe if there is someone live it will help...thnx for the response tho
This is so awesome man. All this time (3 years now) I have totally disregarded doing this since its so hard getting a group of trustworthy people not to mess this up and little did I know, it was way easier to do than i thought lol. Did it with two alts without need of rezzing any of them. Just did it an hour ago so it's confirmed that this method is very much possible as of 1/28/2020. Thanks for the awesome trick man!
Thanks of lot for this! I've been waiting so long to complete the Blood Infusion! I can confirm that this still works as of 28-11-2020. I had to deactivate every addons and come with 3 alts to switch between characters fast enough.
Thanks, still working as of 15/07/2020. Did it with 4 characters in total, cleared first time no issues. Was confused a bit by the video but basically once all characters are in room do as follows: 1 - Initiate fight with person on quest to get shadowmourne (main character) 2 - Wait for the debuff to appear on main, Alt-F4 and log alt 3 - Wait for debuff to appear on alt, Alt-F4 and go back on to main 4 - Wait for your bite ability to appear, bite alt, Alt-F4 and go to second alt 5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your main has bitten 3 alts, then kill boss with shadowmourne. Note: I didn't hit the boss at all, just taunted it and kept all my characters targeting themselves. There was no indication saying you have bitten three characters, you just need to count it then kill the boss.
4/20/20. This worked perfectly! However I needed 3 alt toons to get the last bite. I tried with a 90 rogue and he was dead by the time I switched, I called in a 104 DH from another server and all was magic! The coolest trick I have seen to date, its so easy, thanks again.
Did this a few days ago, for those having trouble with the unholy or the blood infusion, see below. To confirm, this has not been patched. I don't even know if this can be patched, all you're doing is intentionally disconnecting a character. Anyway, for the unholy infusion. I had the issue where the boss would reset when I entered the abomination. If you're having this issue. Bring two characters, your main and an alt. Park your alt in the middle, and your main. Tips: Disable ALL addons Lower your resolution to the lowest it will go Close all other programs (If your like me, you have Netflix on or Chrome whilst doing stuff like this) Make sure you have Shadow's Edge equipped for all of this. Unholy Infusion 1. Log in to your main and start the fight. 2. Alt + F4 and log into your alt. (There may be multiple green puddles at this point, even though it'll only have been a few seconds) 3. Alt +F4 again and log into your main, damage the boss below 80%. (Your alt should still be in the room, this will give the boss something to target once you get in the Abom) 4. Click the table as soon as the boss starts to move. Once you're in the Abom, start spamming 1 on your keyboard to consume the slime. 5. After your resource bar is full, press 4 to infuse Shadow's Edge. You'll start taking quite a bit of damage in the Abomination. So you have to consume the slime fast. Blood Infusion IMPORTANT: The key thing here is that the vampire debuff the boss puts on you lasts 60 seconds. Meaning, if you want to execute this properly, you need to do so within 1 min and 20 seconds at the longest. The reason being. If a character doesn't bite anybody after 1 min, they will be mind controlled, and start attacking your other characters in the room. This is why several people below are logging in to find their characters dead. They're just not being fast enough. 1. Move three alts, and your main into the middle of the room. (You can only do this with two alts if you have super fast load times, what I found was my first alt becoming mind controlled because it took me too long to log back into this a second time, for the third bite) 2. Let all characters in the room disappear (disconnect) before you start the fight. Engage the boss on your main. 3. Once you get the debuff, Alt +F4 IMMEDIATELY, and log your first alt. 4. Make sure you're in combat on that alt (have a debuff or standing in fire), and Alt + F4 again (BE FAST). 5. Log back to your main, there should be about 30 seconds left on the debuff. Let this run out and turn into a vampire. 6. DO NOT BITE STRAIGHT AWAY. You have 10 seconds to bite your alt that should still be in the room. Bite when you have about 2 or 3 seconds left. What this will mean is that, you are biting the alt just before the character disconnects and disappears from the room. What you want to avoid here, is one of your alts having the vampire debuff for a minute, becoming mind controlled and having enough time to kill your other characters in the room. 7. Repeat the process above, it should look something like this. Main > Alt 1 > Main (Bite) > Alt 2 > Main (Bite) > Alt 3 > Main (Bite) If you do this with two alts, it'll look like this: Main (Start fight) > Alt 1 > Main (Bite) > Alt 2 > Main (Bite) > Alt 1 again > Main (Bite) Hopefully, this makes sense for those having trouble, you can see in the line above, that the idea is to log Alt 1 the second time IN UNDER A MINUTE. Because after a minute, the debuff will run out and the character will be mind controlled and kill your main. This was long, but I waited like, 11 years to do this, so if this is helpful to anybody. It was worth it.
The trick for unholy infusion is waiting for three puddles and three adds to spawn, then clicking the table. For some reason, this stops the boss from reseting.
Not sure what im doing wrong. I used 3 characters, bit 3 and killed but no quest completion. My 1st alt eventually MC'd and killed the 2nd, but after i bit them both, dunno if that means anything. Also couldnt get the raid to switch to 25 man; The quest says it requires 25 man but i read that ICC was switched to flex for timewalking so, according to them, It wont show as 25 man unless 25 people get in.
Just did this on my pally so it still works 4/13/19...Thanks so much! It took me 5 tries as I experienced a lot of the same issues I’ve seen in the comments but figured out how to resolve them...I’ll comment my experiences again later to help others but can’t wait to do this on my DK now...it was actually a fun challenge now that I know it works lol
To start I put all my wow settings as low as they would go and disabled all addons for faster login times...I already cleared everything to the queen, then set my group up...my first attempt though I still had trash to the queen to clear on my alts though I had already cleared it, then when I started the fight on my main and switched to my alt the queen hadn’t been pulled so there was no combat to get into, I switched back to my main and he was dead...so I feel like my main and alts were phased...so I took them all out of the raid instance and started a new group, then took them all up to the blood queen, of which it was no longer phased then
Having no longer being phased now, I also tried the alt f4 method on my first alt before pulling boss instead of logging in hopes that they would be in combat together when I pulled boss...but that resulted in my alt being dead from blood mirror...so I recommend to others to do just as you stated to log them before fight instead of alt f4
Logging my alts before fight worked out much better, they were alive any time I would alt f4 to switch to them and it also threw them right into combat with my main, so when I switched to my main they were alive to bite...which leads me to the next thing I learned, when switching to my main from either alt, my main is ready to bite ASAP! It happens fast! So I wiped initially because I couldn’t get to my alt in time to bite, so I moved them all closer to the same area, just not on top of each other...because at one point both of my alts were there with my main before the other DCed and it was hard targeting the right one to bite...I also used raid markers on both alts to see them better when switching to my main to bite them
And just to add...I did this on 25 normal, my main was a 101 Ret pally, my first alt was 110 hunter, and second alt 90 dk...I kept gear on both but unequipped their weapons in case of MC...I used my 110 first because he had a better chance of DCing before dying, which proved to be true...my lower level second alt ended up dead after the bite for every attempt, which was good because I just needed to bite him, but if I used him for the first bite he wouldn’t have been available for the third bite when I needed him...once I got the rhythm of everything, it took me a couple more attempts because i hard a hard time nuking what’s left of the queen the minute before I have to bite again...I did keep the shadows edge equipped, I was afraid to switch even though I believe it was infused, since we get no buff, we just get the 4 stacks of gushing wind that falls off...so I had to find a few more buffs before attempting again, I also had to go hard on the queen with all cool downs ok initial pull, until I got bit by her...then after all my bites and it’s time to nuke, I had to save all my cool downs for after her air phase...first time I finally got my 3 bites and I could nuke her, I used all my cool downs then she when to air phase and wasted them.m...so after a few buffs and adjustments I was able to down her in time before I had to bite again...anyone at 110 or up shouldn’t have to worry about nuking her though
Blood infusion works exactly as described in the video, only need 2 alts. Only thing I would add is I had to be quick with my alt-f4's and then logging back in. Thanks!
21/04/2020 and the method still works! Many thanks for your vid, I've been stuck on this for a long time! Like a few others I used 3 alts instead of 2 and it worked perfectly
I don't even get the toons in the same instance. It says that there's an ID (5/12) but once I run up the ramp to Blood Queen there is trash with my alts, not for my main though.
Thanks a lot m8, unholy worked on the 1st try with no problems, blood was easy aswell using 2 lvl 120 alts. Did it exactly as instructed in the video, additionaly i lowered graphics to minimum for faster load times.
09/2020 - still works. Ty so much for blood infusion part - especially how to make a group using alts. The best way for me was use 3 alts. Because I have all characters lvl120, I made them completely naked to be sure they don't kill the boss too early. The main character was just with Shadow edge and 2 or 3 pieces of gear - but without any damage effect, just to increase a bit damage resistance. One remark for Blood Infusion part - before the first bite you must have debuff Blood Mirror on your main character. If you start boss fight without any alt present in the room you don't get it. So for me correct sequence was : 1. log-on any alt - Alt-F4 2. log-on main - start fight - check you have Blood Mirror debuf - Alt-F4 3. log-on alt 1 - start combat - Alt-F4 4. log-on main - bite alt 1 - Alt-F4 5. log-on alt 2 - start combat - Alt-F4 6. log-on main - bite alt 2 - Alt-F4 7. log-on alt 3 - start combat Alt-F4 8. log-on main - bite alt 3 - kill the boss Just to be sure the boss will be not killed during switching of characters before Alt-F4 I've changed target to myself - most important for main character because it has weapon. Character remained in combat but didn't do any damage to the boss. Also for Sindragosa you have to remove all equipment with essence, corruption and azerite traits becauce even you don't attack boss these special effects kill the boss too quickly. :-)
Awesome walkthrough on Blood Infusion! I had some issue with the two-alt method (debuff wouldn't drop off alt #1) so I brought in a 3rd alt and got it on my second attempt :D
Was JUST able to complete this (12/15/19). I think I was waiting too long to swap between characters waiting for debuffs to appear. I just made sure to attack the queen with each alt as I came up, then ALT-F4'd. Had to use 3 alts, staggering them with the lowest level to the highest (not sure that mattered), but it worked just fine. On to the Frost infusion and the grind for shards! Thank you Llama!!!
Thank you for this guide! It really helped me out with the Unholy & Blood infusion quests. A little note for anyone having trouble with the Blood infusion portion, I found it much easier to use three alts instead of two (112 rogue, 103 DH, and 90 mage). I also had them join the fight in order based on level, lowest first. Not sure if that makes much of a difference, but it worked for me.
Hey everyone, i can confirm it still works perfectly, worked for me on the second try (13. 02. 2019 01:19am) thanks for the video mate and to all viewers, pls try to keep it low to not get it fixed or anything:D
10/22/2021 (9.1.0 Shadowlands) Solo Biting method works! I had issues with dying before I could log back in so I used the suggestion of disabling all addons and it ended up working amazingly!
Thank you!!! Took me a couple of attempts, either my characters died or I messed up with bites due to loading times, but was able to reset the boss each time. I ended up having 3 WoW windows open and my email and password filled then used your method for ultra quick switching and managed to start the first quest and get to the last part all in about an hour. Used to have shadowmourne back in current content but my account got banned (I'm a badboy :D ) and thanks to you I have now only got 49 shards till I have it again.
MAY 23, 2020 -This is accurate, i JUST did it. 100%. STILL works in 8.3. Turn off DBM, TSM and others unessacary for this. It works my dudes. I lit just did it - it's 7:47 am on the 23rd. May. 2020. Enjoy guys and gals! PS ===> Done AS A 120 DK, with 3 alts, not 2 - a 120 DH, a 120 Hunter. and a 112 rouge. I followed Ryan Ordo's instructions (top comment) about taking off weapons and Heart of Azeroth, Only other tip i can give is: if your main (the toon your trying to complete quest with) keeps dying, your not switching toons/chars fast enoough - try turning off more addons, or step-up your Alt+F4 game son!! Good luck fellow Azerothians! And thanks @The Tired Llama for the fantastic vid!!
Still worked April 3rd 2020, i do HIGHLY recommend to unequipt ur neck (passive flame dmg and so on), corruption pieces that trigger dmg (infinity stars, beam etc.) or passive dmg trinkets, or u kill the boss while logging threw :)
5/2021 still works, though as mentioned before you need 3 alts of level 50+ to do it since 50 is the minimum level to be able to use the group finder tool. I also highly recommend disabling all add-ons when you do this so that the game loads faster to help avoid not swapping into your main character fast enough to avoid dying from not biting another player.
i'm trying to do the same thing and waiting like 30seconds each alt+f4 for the first alts to log out but it doesn't seem to work... when i log in the second alt, the first one is still online... do you have any tips?
@@R4AUDO rather than ALT + F4 i just closed the browser and didnt have it full screen other than that its the same as in the video, best of luck tho my dude
Blood infusion still works as of November 04, you just need to have the first alt at the top of the stairs at the entrence and the main at the other far edge of the room to avoid the first alt getting mind controlled.
Proudly and very happy I can inform you all that this solo action still works at this date. It took me 3 efforts with 3 toons. But it worked like a flaw. Thanks for posting a video of this smart trick. 👍🏻😃
If anyone is having trouble using ALT+F4 and switching characters fast enough, I'd recommend opening two instances of WoW and switching between them using the "reconnect" feature each time you switch characters instead of closing and reopening the entire game each time.
I'm running into an issue - hopefully someone knows what's causing it. I can get my alts into the group, but then when I try to get one to the boss, that alt becomes lead. When that happens (it's not every time), I can no longer see the alts with my main. Out of five tries, that's happened on three of them. Does anyone know how to prevent that?
April 4th 2019 Blood infusion still works! Thanks alot!
here what you gotta do since its quick and you wont be able to watch the video as you go... V
1.Make a Finder group on your main
2.hop on an alt, Que to join group

6. Hop on ALT 1 to get in combat and Press ALT F4 Load up the game again.
7. Hop on Main Bite ALT 1 then KILL BOSS!

I get charmed every time 😭😭
@@Lerbojocho think the whole method is based around alt 1 being disconnected. or well not present or something,
Dude- you're my hero! I've been sitting on that quest for ages trying to talk my friends into helping.
Thank you so much!
you are most welcome!
bro, this been me for 8 years as a casual player. 😭😭
i have been trying since this game came out to finish my quest. found your guide, pulled Shadowmourne out of the bank, and just finally succeeded in getting the blood infusion. still works 2024. thank you so much
This makes me so happy hearing. As of next weeks reset I'm going to try to do this.
@ good luck. It’s taken me since that day lock out to get up to 42 shadowfrost shards. Still need 2 more lockouts to finally get the weapon, the drop rate is god awful!
As of shadowlands APR 2021, solo is still working. I recommend you disable 100% of addons if your having issue doing fast swaps, and open 2 wow windows that are in fulls creen + windowed mode. Its much faster to alt tab and put in password (which dc's the other window) then pressing alt+f4. Good luck!!

Bro trust me, it’s been a good 5 or so years and I still haven’t done it 😭
I just did this method, on 1/9/2020, and it worked perfectly first try! God bless you, you beautiful bastard!
haha you are most welcome! now the grind begins ;)
Thanks for this, clearest and most straightforward guide I've come across.
For anyone looking for this as of May 2020:
I did it yesterday, it still works exactly as described in this video. Just be aware that if you're clearing to Lana'thel with character 1 and then joining with characters 2 and 3 (and 4 if you like), you will need to leave the instance on character 1 and then run back in or you won't be able to see the rest of the group. I think it's something to do with different trash being cleared.
Finished the quest today. Been stuck on it for years. I did bring three alts after reading others had trouble recently, but with three alts, it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for this.
DECENT just done Blood infusion. still working!!! cheers dude
1st October 2020. This method works. Alt+f4'd straight after I pulled boss on main. everything went smoothly. I've been stuck on this part of the chain for like 8 years. I honestly cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I am forever in you debt. Haha.

I'm glad you got it done pal! Thanks for watching :)
Just tried this out 9.0.5 of Shadowlands and it still works. Great trick and good to know that it still works.
You are a life saver! Just did this today 5/1/2020 on two characters, one starting the quests from scratch, and the other who was stuck at the blood infusion for over 5 years. My tips to those still struggling:
I used 3 alts. They were all 120. I unequipped anything that could proc damage (removing the heart of azeroth turns most of this off on your gear) but keeping the rest of the gear for the hp.
I positioned all the alts in the square in the middle of the room and then positioned my main just outside the square but pointed at it so I'd never have to move to bite someone and would always know where they were.
The part that really got me over the hurdle was that I never 'engaged' the boss on any of my alts. The second an alt would load in I'd alt + F4, login to my main, and when it loaded they'd be ready to bite. Besides the initial pull I never attacked the boss, just switched characters as fast as possible to get the bites.
Turn off ALL addons. The difference can literally be seconds in whether this works or not. I tried for over two hours the first time but on my second character running through I did it on the first attempt with these refinements.
I have a nearly 10 year old computer so it can be done with some tweaking and I hope this helps someone. This has been a thorn in my side for nearly a decade so thank you so much to the video creator!
So I'm trying it with 3 alts but every time I log into alt 1 my main is dead and the fight is reset. How did you avoid that?
Just did this, works for me. used 3 alts + my main (4 characters total).
@@alexfarley5704 This was the biggest problem I had in my first hour of trying (as it takes a long time to set up again running all your characters back) but I turned off all other programs my computer was running and focused on load times. I should mention also that I have an SSD for my hard drive. I don't know if this could be accomplished on a slower computer with a regular drive. But the main point is, if you're logging into a dead character at any point, your load times are too long.
Holy shit, thank you so much. Took 3 attempts but after I just sat and watched your video and understood when to alt+f4 it was easy. I was giving myself too much time to wait for things,, I didnt realise it was so simple once you saw that debuff on the alt ALT+F4 and then repeat to the next. This quest has been in my logs for years and I never had the time to sort it out or try recruit people to help. Thank you! Now to grind the rest of this out so I can transmog it in Shadowlands :D
im happy for ya dave :) glad i could help :) ill see you in the shadowlands :)
Still works as of 17/09/200. Thank you so much. Took 2 tries since my first alt got charmed, but worked second time around.
May 6th 2020 and the solo Blood Infusion still works if anyone was wondering
Took about 5 tried but I finally did blood infusion solo! It's a lot harder when your toons are on different realms lol, you have to be super quick. Thank you so much for the guide!
I had problems with my 1st alt not logging off during the swapping, so I had both alts on at the same time and couldn't bite one. So I needed to use a 3rd alt too. In addition to that, the mind control was a huge pain in the ass.
If you're struggling with the MIND CONTROL, then to fix it log in your weakest alts first, 100s, 110s etc and unequip weapons and HoA on all characters before you start apart from your main.
I was logging in my DH first and it was destroying my 110s, so had to switch the order up. So I started off with my 110s pal, then 116 monk - both of which I put into healer specs, so when they got mind controlled it didn't really matter.
Eventually this worked a treat! Thanks to OP and everyone who commented about it, took a while for me to manage it due to the above reasons but got there in the end.
thanks for sharing your findings man, not easy to do so appreciate any info that helps people :)
I don't know if you already done it, but don't overrush the alt+f4 process, so the 1st alt has enough time to despawn.
One tip more, You can use alt with healing spell to farm shards from Valithria Dreamwalker for Dk and Warrior.
@@maniek2207 How do you farm shards from Valithria?
I had the first alt naked, from the other 2 I only removed trinkets and the heart of azeroth to avoid passive damage from anything
Removing the heart, will disable all the azerite traits on your gear and your essences
Brilliant, thank you! Wasn't working for me at first as my main kept being dead when I logged back in after engaging the first alt in combat - disabling all addons did the trick and allowed me to switch fast enough.
The get naked part to get those drops was an excellent idea. Now that I just did the blood infusion solo, I will repeat this faster on alts. Thanks!
Never realized this was soloable till seeing this video, thanks. Had to use 3 alts method but got it done pretty quickly.
How did u doit for me for some reason my alts kept being in different instances eaven tho i accepted the raid lock
@@istvanantal1431 they have to all be grouped together. I would have the main character get to blood queen. Than use the lfg tool to add all your alts go in. Never use logout, always use alt f4 when switching between them
@@Riproarin999 i did all that but it seems for some reason im still in different instance...il try ask my buddy to stay in maybe if there is someone live it will help...thnx for the response tho
this can sometimes occur if you already have a raid lockout saved on one of your toons, might be worth checking :)
Thanks a bunch, worked like a charm with 3 alts. Been stuck on this like many of the viewers here.
This is so awesome man. All this time (3 years now) I have totally disregarded doing this since its so hard getting a group of trustworthy people not to mess this up and little did I know, it was way easier to do than i thought lol. Did it with two alts without need of rezzing any of them. Just did it an hour ago so it's confirmed that this method is very much possible as of 1/28/2020. Thanks for the awesome trick man!
you are most welcome, and thank you for watching :)
Just did it solo today 12/30/2019. Used 3 alts, got it my first try.
Thank you very much for this video.
Thats how i started doing it.... can't stand 2 alts because if you mess up with either of them it fails
I have waited for this moment for so so long....thank you so much for this
Thanks of lot for this! I've been waiting so long to complete the Blood Infusion!
I can confirm that this still works as of 28-11-2020. I had to deactivate every addons and come with 3 alts to switch between characters fast enough.
Thanks, still working as of 15/07/2020. Did it with 4 characters in total, cleared first time no issues. Was confused a bit by the video but basically once all characters are in room do as follows:
1 - Initiate fight with person on quest to get shadowmourne (main character)
2 - Wait for the debuff to appear on main, Alt-F4 and log alt
3 - Wait for debuff to appear on alt, Alt-F4 and go back on to main
4 - Wait for your bite ability to appear, bite alt, Alt-F4 and go to second alt
5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your main has bitten 3 alts, then kill boss with shadowmourne.
Note: I didn't hit the boss at all, just taunted it and kept all my characters targeting themselves. There was no indication saying you have bitten three characters, you just need to count it then kill the boss.
4/20/20. This worked perfectly! However I needed 3 alt toons to get the last bite. I tried with a 90 rogue and he was dead by the time I switched, I called in a 104 DH from another server and all was magic! The coolest trick I have seen to date, its so easy, thanks again.
Just did this today (22/05-20) and it still works.
Thanks for the tip! :)
Worked like a charm as of July 9th, just needed 3 alts instead of 2- thanks for this!!!
Did this a few days ago, for those having trouble with the unholy or the blood infusion, see below.
To confirm, this has not been patched. I don't even know if this can be patched, all you're doing is intentionally disconnecting a character.
Anyway, for the unholy infusion. I had the issue where the boss would reset when I entered the abomination. If you're having this issue. Bring two characters, your main and an alt. Park your alt in the middle, and your main.
Tips:
Disable ALL addons
Lower your resolution to the lowest it will go
Close all other programs (If your like me, you have Netflix on or Chrome whilst doing stuff like this)
Make sure you have Shadow's Edge equipped for all of this.
Unholy Infusion
1. Log in to your main and start the fight.
2. Alt + F4 and log into your alt. (There may be multiple green puddles at this point, even though it'll only have been a few seconds)
3. Alt +F4 again and log into your main, damage the boss below 80%. (Your alt should still be in the room, this will give the boss something to target once you get in the Abom)
4. Click the table as soon as the boss starts to move. Once you're in the Abom, start spamming 1 on your keyboard to consume the slime.
5. After your resource bar is full, press 4 to infuse Shadow's Edge.
You'll start taking quite a bit of damage in the Abomination. So you have to consume the slime fast.
Blood Infusion
IMPORTANT: The key thing here is that the vampire debuff the boss puts on you lasts 60 seconds. Meaning, if you want to execute this properly, you need to do so within 1 min and 20 seconds at the longest. The reason being. If a character doesn't bite anybody after 1 min, they will be mind controlled, and start attacking your other characters in the room. This is why several people below are logging in to find their characters dead. They're just not being fast enough.
1. Move three alts, and your main into the middle of the room. (You can only do this with two alts if you have super fast load times, what I found was my first alt becoming mind controlled because it took me too long to log back into this a second time, for the third bite)
2. Let all characters in the room disappear (disconnect) before you start the fight. Engage the boss on your main.
3. Once you get the debuff, Alt +F4 IMMEDIATELY, and log your first alt.
4. Make sure you're in combat on that alt (have a debuff or standing in fire), and Alt + F4 again (BE FAST).
5. Log back to your main, there should be about 30 seconds left on the debuff. Let this run out and turn into a vampire.
6. DO NOT BITE STRAIGHT AWAY. You have 10 seconds to bite your alt that should still be in the room. Bite when you have about 2 or 3 seconds left. What this will mean is that, you are biting the alt just before the character disconnects and disappears from the room. What you want to avoid here, is one of your alts having the vampire debuff for a minute, becoming mind controlled and having enough time to kill your other characters in the room.
7. Repeat the process above, it should look something like this. Main > Alt 1 > Main (Bite) > Alt 2 > Main (Bite) > Alt 3 > Main (Bite)
If you do this with two alts, it'll look like this: Main (Start fight) > Alt 1 > Main (Bite) > Alt 2 > Main (Bite) > Alt 1 again > Main (Bite)
Hopefully, this makes sense for those having trouble, you can see in the line above, that the idea is to log Alt 1 the second time IN UNDER A MINUTE. Because after a minute, the debuff will run out and the character will be mind controlled and kill your main.
This was long, but I waited like, 11 years to do this, so if this is helpful to anybody. It was worth it.
The trick for unholy infusion is waiting for three puddles and three adds to spawn, then clicking the table. For some reason, this stops the boss from reseting.
Not sure what im doing wrong. I used 3 characters, bit 3 and killed but no quest completion. My 1st alt eventually MC'd and killed the 2nd, but after i bit them both, dunno if that means anything. Also couldnt get the raid to switch to 25 man; The quest says it requires 25 man but i read that ICC was switched to flex for timewalking so, according to them, It wont show as 25 man unless 25 people get in.
@@miggs8 it most def can be turned to 25 heroic
Just did this on my pally so it still works 4/13/19...Thanks so much! It took me 5 tries as I experienced a lot of the same issues I’ve seen in the comments but figured out how to resolve them...I’ll comment my experiences again later to help others but can’t wait to do this on my DK now...it was actually a fun challenge now that I know it works lol
I'm glad you found it helpful and thanks for the feedback, I need to do this again when I get home myself actually haha :)
To start I put all my wow settings as low as they would go and disabled all addons for faster login times...I already cleared everything to the queen, then set my group up...my first attempt though I still had trash to the queen to clear on my alts though I had already cleared it, then when I started the fight on my main and switched to my alt the queen hadn’t been pulled so there was no combat to get into, I switched back to my main and he was dead...so I feel like my main and alts were phased...so I took them all out of the raid instance and started a new group, then took them all up to the blood queen, of which it was no longer phased then
Having no longer being phased now, I also tried the alt f4 method on my first alt before pulling boss instead of logging in hopes that they would be in combat together when I pulled boss...but that resulted in my alt being dead from blood mirror...so I recommend to others to do just as you stated to log them before fight instead of alt f4
Logging my alts before fight worked out much better, they were alive any time I would alt f4 to switch to them and it also threw them right into combat with my main, so when I switched to my main they were alive to bite...which leads me to the next thing I learned, when switching to my main from either alt, my main is ready to bite ASAP! It happens fast! So I wiped initially because I couldn’t get to my alt in time to bite, so I moved them all closer to the same area, just not on top of each other...because at one point both of my alts were there with my main before the other DCed and it was hard targeting the right one to bite...I also used raid markers on both alts to see them better when switching to my main to bite them
And just to add...I did this on 25 normal, my main was a 101 Ret pally, my first alt was 110 hunter, and second alt 90 dk...I kept gear on both but unequipped their weapons in case of MC...I used my 110 first because he had a better chance of DCing before dying, which proved to be true...my lower level second alt ended up dead after the bite for every attempt, which was good because I just needed to bite him, but if I used him for the first bite he wouldn’t have been available for the third bite when I needed him...once I got the rhythm of everything, it took me a couple more attempts because i hard a hard time nuking what’s left of the queen the minute before I have to bite again...I did keep the shadows edge equipped, I was afraid to switch even though I believe it was infused, since we get no buff, we just get the 4 stacks of gushing wind that falls off...so I had to find a few more buffs before attempting again, I also had to go hard on the queen with all cool downs ok initial pull, until I got bit by her...then after all my bites and it’s time to nuke, I had to save all my cool downs for after her air phase...first time I finally got my 3 bites and I could nuke her, I used all my cool downs then she when to air phase and wasted them.m...so after a few buffs and adjustments I was able to down her in time before I had to bite again...anyone at 110 or up shouldn’t have to worry about nuking her though
Blood infusion works exactly as described in the video, only need 2 alts. Only thing I would add is I had to be quick with my alt-f4's and then logging back in. Thanks!
worked flawlessly :) many thanks. been a long time since i wanted to get back into this Q, dreading the Blood infusion. Many thanks
21/04/2020 and the method still works! Many thanks for your vid, I've been stuck on this for a long time!
Like a few others I used 3 alts instead of 2 and it worked perfectly
09.04.2020 tested still working, being stuck on that quest for a long time thanks alot mate.
April 6th 2020, The Blood infusion trick still works. great guide all in all, Thanks for the help.
I don't even get the toons in the same instance. It says that there's an ID (5/12) but once I run up the ramp to Blood Queen there is trash with my alts, not for my main though.
Thanks a lot m8, unholy worked on the 1st try with no problems, blood was easy aswell using 2 lvl 120 alts. Did it exactly as instructed in the video, additionaly i lowered graphics to minimum for faster load times.
April 2020 still works. Thanks bro :)
09/2020 - still works. Ty so much for blood infusion part - especially how to make a group using alts.
The best way for me was use 3 alts. Because I have all characters lvl120, I made them completely naked to be sure they don't kill the boss too early.
The main character was just with Shadow edge and 2 or 3 pieces of gear - but without any damage effect, just to increase a bit damage resistance.
One remark for Blood Infusion part - before the first bite you must have debuff Blood Mirror on your main character.
If you start boss fight without any alt present in the room you don't get it.
So for me correct sequence was :
1. log-on any alt - Alt-F4
2. log-on main - start fight - check you have Blood Mirror debuf - Alt-F4
3. log-on alt 1 - start combat - Alt-F4
4. log-on main - bite alt 1 - Alt-F4
5. log-on alt 2 - start combat - Alt-F4
6. log-on main - bite alt 2 - Alt-F4
7. log-on alt 3 - start combat Alt-F4
8. log-on main - bite alt 3 - kill the boss
Just to be sure the boss will be not killed during switching of characters before Alt-F4 I've changed target to myself - most important for main character because it has weapon. Character remained in combat but didn't do any damage to the boss.
Also for Sindragosa you have to remove all equipment with essence, corruption and azerite traits becauce even you don't attack boss these special effects kill the boss too quickly. :-)
Holy crap man finally got it after three hours figuring out what was wrong. still works as of 10/9/2019 thank you
Awesome walkthrough on Blood Infusion! I had some issue with the two-alt method (debuff wouldn't drop off alt #1) so I brought in a 3rd alt and got it on my second attempt :D
Yes, I have noticed this myself. It doesn't work with just 2 alts, it needs 3.
Worked for me with 2 alts
It's 2024 during TWW pre-patch. Here to confirm this still works, albeit very stressful. Great video, thank you!
May 3rd 2020 Just did it!!! Still works Can't thank you enough brother.
Worked with no issues at all. Thank you so much!
I fucking love you. Doing this next week. Had this damn quest for 10 years.
Haha I'm glad I could help! I love you too 😂
May 2020 continues to work, thank you very much for such a huge contribution.
I can finally have my legendary
I relogged to main and it just dropped dead lol
@@rekiZVO
I made a few tries, honestly many until I got it -_-
Worked like a charm. Used two alts and got it on first try.
Still works as of July 18, 2020, this man is a legend
Great guide makes it very simple! Ended up doing Blood duo, just gotta get those 50 shards now, the waiting game begins.
18/5/20 - patch 8.3 - this method still works, thank you for uploading this
This method still works in Dragonflight! Thank you so much!
Was JUST able to complete this (12/15/19). I think I was waiting too long to swap between characters waiting for debuffs to appear. I just made sure to attack the queen with each alt as I came up, then ALT-F4'd. Had to use 3 alts, staggering them with the lowest level to the highest (not sure that mattered), but it worked just fine. On to the Frost infusion and the grind for shards! Thank you Llama!!!
happy to help, hope the grind is being kind :)
Thank you for this, been trying to get guildies to help for years and no one ever wanted to
Still works in May 2020.Thank you so much for this mate!
my ''group'' keeps insta-dying after 10 seconds (all in combat)
Done 21.04.19 - you are the man!!
haha thank you, happy to help :)
20. 09. 2020 still works. Thank you so much for those advices.
My main keeps dying after switching to alt, im using 3 alts just to be safe. I don't get it...
Just went and soloed everything on 5 characters from Quest 1 to the last one in one sitting thanks to you
Just did this today, worked for me.. But I had to use three of my alts, all level 50* (pre patch) Good luck.
DUDE GOD BLESS YOU!! You're a genius,thx so much
Thanks for the kind words my man :)
April 13th 2020 still works. I advice to do this with 3 ALTs. Good job.
I did this today (07-14-20) with 2 alts! Worked like charm!
Thank you for this guide! It really helped me out with the Unholy & Blood infusion quests.
A little note for anyone having trouble with the Blood infusion portion, I found it much easier to use three alts instead of two (112 rogue, 103 DH, and 90 mage). I also had them join the fight in order based on level, lowest first. Not sure if that makes much of a difference, but it worked for me.
yes this is another usable method for that section also, but ofc the downside is you do need to have 3 available alts, thanks for sharing :)
Dude, this is one of the most helpful comments I have seen in my lifetime of TH-cam.
With 3 alts I had no problems at all. Thanks for suggesting.
@@TheTiredLlama I do not think that is a downside. A bit of a WoW player has a char for every main profession :P
when i bite the people they dont die what am i doing wrong?
Hey everyone, i can confirm it still works perfectly, worked for me on the second try (13. 02. 2019 01:19am)
thanks for the video mate and to all viewers, pls try to keep it low to not get it fixed or anything:D
You're most welcome pal and thank you for the retest :)
10/22/2021 (9.1.0 Shadowlands) Solo Biting method works! I had issues with dying before I could log back in so I used the suggestion of disabling all addons and it ended up working amazingly!
Just wanted to leave a comment that as of 11MAY2020 this still works! Just blew through it on my paladin. Good looking out!
Thanks for your great vid :) due to you i managed to get the axe ^^
15 of august 2020 still working mate you're a damn life saver
Thank you!!! Took me a couple of attempts, either my characters died or I messed up with bites due to loading times, but was able to reset the boss each time. I ended up having 3 WoW windows open and my email and password filled then used your method for ultra quick switching and managed to start the first quest and get to the last part all in about an hour. Used to have shadowmourne back in current content but my account got banned (I'm a badboy :D ) and thanks to you I have now only got 49 shards till I have it again.
MAY 23, 2020 -This is accurate, i JUST did it. 100%. STILL works in 8.3. Turn off DBM, TSM and others unessacary for this. It works my dudes. I lit just did it - it's 7:47 am on the 23rd. May. 2020. Enjoy guys and gals! PS ===> Done AS A 120 DK, with 3 alts, not 2 - a 120 DH, a 120 Hunter. and a 112 rouge. I followed Ryan Ordo's instructions (top comment) about taking off weapons and Heart of Azeroth, Only other tip i can give is: if your main (the toon your trying to complete quest with) keeps dying, your not switching toons/chars fast enoough - try turning off more addons, or step-up your Alt+F4 game son!! Good luck fellow Azerothians! And thanks @The Tired Llama for the fantastic vid!!
Confirmed 5/10/2020 Still works. This has saved me so much time!
Still working. Just did it 27th of August 2020. Thanks for the video!
Still worked April 3rd 2020, i do HIGHLY recommend to unequipt ur neck (passive flame dmg and so on), corruption pieces that trigger dmg (infinity stars, beam etc.) or passive dmg trinkets, or u kill the boss while logging threw :)
btw you can just take someone with you for the Blood? Just one person I mean,a friend? xD
Blood infusion still working as of 11/8/2019. I've had this quest for years, thanks for the idea man!
Completed 5/11/2020 - Still working. Thank you for this bud!!!
July 24 and still works!!! You only need to be fast changing characters
Worked Aug 2020! thanks so much for the help!
5/2021 still works, though as mentioned before you need 3 alts of level 50+ to do it since 50 is the minimum level to be able to use the group finder tool.
I also highly recommend disabling all add-ons when you do this so that the game loads faster to help avoid not swapping into your main character fast enough to avoid dying from not biting another player.
still works as of today, big thanks my dude!
Just done it myself, had to log in 3 alts due to them not logging out but worked perfectly as of 05/01/21
i'm trying to do the same thing and waiting like 30seconds each alt+f4 for the first alts to log out but it doesn't seem to work... when i log in the second alt, the first one is still online... do you have any tips?
@@R4AUDO rather than ALT + F4 i just closed the browser and didnt have it full screen other than that its the same as in the video, best of luck tho my dude
Can confirm as of Feb 12 2020, this still works for the Blood Infusion. Thank you! Have been trying to complete this step for years!
Still works!!!! I freaking love you mate
Thank you, worked like a charm! :D (Patch 8.3)
Blood infusion still works as of November 04, you just need to have the first alt at the top of the stairs at the entrence and the main at the other far edge of the room to avoid the first alt getting mind controlled.
Proudly and very happy I can inform you all that this solo action still works at this date. It took me 3 efforts with 3 toons. But it worked like a flaw. Thanks for posting a video of this smart trick. 👍🏻😃
Done 23/03/2019 2am blood still works !!Thank you very much !)
Ooo on my birthday no less 😂 you're very welcome :)
The Tired Llama HB though ;)
Haha thanks! :)
Well...as of July 2020...it still works. Thx for the tutorial
If anyone is having trouble using ALT+F4 and switching characters fast enough, I'd recommend opening two instances of WoW and switching between them using the "reconnect" feature each time you switch characters instead of closing and reopening the entire game each time.
Thank you very much for making this video! I really needed help on blood infusion!
I'm running into an issue - hopefully someone knows what's causing it. I can get my alts into the group, but then when I try to get one to the boss, that alt becomes lead. When that happens (it's not every time), I can no longer see the alts with my main. Out of five tries, that's happened on three of them. Does anyone know how to prevent that?
are you alt + f4'ing? and quickly logging back in on another toon?
I just successfully did this stage thanks to you; my sincerest thanks!
Thanks man! This helped me a lot! Still worked 03/12/2020. Just did it.
