Notes[]
- Enter the zone by clicking the sewer entrance beneath the Bridge of Zek underwater at ( -193, -36, -579)
| The following in-game bug has been reported to DBG: |
| The Glutton doesn't spawn if two players tell "a Deathfist toiler" to run at the same time. If that happens even "a Deathfist serf" doesn't react anymore and you can't kill either of the 2 nameds -- 18:13, July 12, 2016 (UTC) |
Overview[]
Click the bottle to avoid cutscenes inside the Keep
- Scourge Keep is designed around a number of puzzles that you must solve in order to progress. Keep alert for things that can be clicked upon in the zone.
- If you look in the area of the Green Hood tracker near the exit to Zek, the Scourge Wastes, there is a bottle ( -208, 2, 92 ) . Clicking the bottle prevents the cutscenes within Scourge Keep from running.
- Note that if you camp or leave the zone, you will have to go drink from the bottle again to continue preventing cutscenes.
Spawning the Names[]
You will be able to spawn only six names on each run through Scourge Keep: one each from five different groupings or sets, plus a final boss. Each set is mutually exclusive, such that you can do only one from each grouping, and you must do one from each set in order to advance to the final boss. The 5 sets are:
- Outdoors: Harkor or Viletooth or Vurgal
- Castle Bailey: Pork Chop or Onok or Partak Headripper+Bandak Necksnapper
- Upper Castle: Prime Vigoth or The Glutton
- Lower Castle: The Blood Iron Eater or Thrug
- Recipes: Yallessulich or Rinis or Sanctifier Kilug
After you've slain one named monster from each of those groups, you gain access to the Sanctifier's Vault ( 3, -25, 17 ) the arena where you can get an item that allows you spawn the Sanctifiers, who act as the zone end boss
Accessing the Keep (Outdoors)[]
To gain access to Scourge Keep itself, you must slay either Harkor or Viletooth or Vurgal.
Harkor Longdraw[]
- To spawn Harkor, kill mounted orcs and warboars around the keep. If you start the quest Orc Hunting by clicking the impaled skeleton at ( 5, -12, -138 ) , kill the groups of orcs after Harkor spawns.
- Harkor rides a boar, and he has a 270° "frontal" doing ranged damage: Harkor himself moves only when you are further then 30m away from him.
- Keep all the squishies in his back quadrant and somehow avoid his red text.
- Joust the white circles.
- Keep moving every 3-4 seconds to avoid the archers.
- Don't stand further back then 10m, because then he will kick you in front and stun you.
Viletooth[]
- Viletooth is spawned by killing all the moat stalker crocodiles in the moat.
- Viletooth cannot be damaged except in the water, and about every 20% he puts a noxious detrimental on you. If you DPS too fast without curing, he applies the noxious again, which kills you.
- If you spawn Viletooth, you may only enter Scourge Keep via the sewers, ( 42, -15, -25 )
or ( -2, -13, -51 ) 
.
Vurgal[]
- Spawn Vergul by killing only the groups of eight Scourge soldiers and each group's battlemaster around the castle.
- You can kill the wandering Scourge patrollers as well.
Inside Scourge Keep (Castle Bailey)[]
The cleaver needed to kill Pork Chop
Vine-covered staff needed to spawn Onok
Pork Chop[]
- To spawn Pork Chop, kill the butcher's guard.
- The butcher will see his moment and try to run, going around the north side of the keep and despawning at the north west tower. If he despawns, you cannot kill Pork Chop and that will end the zone for you. When he reaches the north east tower he becomes attackable and if killed will spawn Pork Chop.
- Grab the cleaver on the wall inside Gud Eats Butcher, use the cleaver on Pork Chop.
Onok[]
- To spawn: collect the vine covered staff next to the dead body in the stable at ( 32, 0, -2 ) .
- Take the staff to The Supplier's Hoard ( 27, 0, 17 ) storeroom nearby and light it by clicking the lantern outside the door.
- Equip the flaming version of the staff in your appearance slot.
- Go into the storeroom and click three crates and barrels to set them aflame.
- Onok summons Crates in your bags
- Onok casts 2 differnet curses during the fight, Overburden or Underburden
- Overburden: the one with the most crates in their bags needs to destroy them inside the room.
- Underburden: the one with the fewest crates in their bags needs to destroy them inside the room.
Partak Headripper and Bandak Necksnapper[]
- Partak and Bandak are spawned by finding all the dying orcs in the towers around the keep and clicking them to put them out of their misery.
- The dying orcs can be on the first, second, and third floor, and two of them are on roofs.
- Partak and Bandak spawn in the gatehouse, above the front gates of the keep ( 0, 10, 64 ) .
- Partak and Bandak gain an incremental which, when it hits 20 increments, lets them one-shot you. To avoid this, burn them down equally, switching back and forth between the two to keep their health approximately even.
Inside Scourge Keep (Upper Castle)[]
Prime Vigoth Ansleborg[]
- Prime Vigoth Ansleborg is spawned by talking to a Deathfist serf ( 18, 1, 1 ) in The Scourge Barracks.
- The Prime Vigoth comes with two adds and is a Tallonite.
- She will say, "You know little of battle. I shall teach you!", followed by, "Let's see how well you follow orders!" Then she will issue commands such as, "Mages! To me!" or "Paladin! Get back there!"
- When she orders, "Get down!" then sit or crouch
- When she orders, "Front and center!" then stand directly in front of her.
- When she orders, "Stop attacking!" stop all auto attack and target self.
- When she orders, "Flank!" get right next to her at a 90 degree angle.
- When she orders, "Get back there!" move 15 meters away.
- If you fail to follow her orders by the time she finishes casting a spell, you die instantly.
- If you correctly follow her orders in time, she responds, "Excellent solder!" or "Good! You may yet live!" or "And the fight continues!"
The Glutton[]
- Spawn the Glutton by killing all the orcs in The Glutton's Bliss mess-hall, then speak to the toiler. Let the toiler go free, and the sneaky orc will go and ring the gong nearby, spawning the Glutton.
- Make sure all the doors possible are shut, as the Glutton will try and rush to The Glutton's Bliss, and if he gets there, he will become unkillable.
- Basically a tank and spank, but you will want to stun, slow, and root as much as possible.
- The Glutton spawns at ( -13, 1, 15 )
- At about 20%, the Glutton runs to the first spot ( ?, 0, ? ) and takes 25% less damage.
- At 60%, the Glutton runs to the door ( ?, 0, ? ) and takes 50% less damage.
- At 40%, the Glutton charges to the far wall and takes 75% less damage.
- At 20%, the Glutton runs to The Glutton's Bliss and takes 100% less damage unless stunned.
- The Glutton spawns at ( -13, 1, 15 )
Inside Scourge Keep (Lower Castle)[]
Thrug[]
- Thrug spawns in Thrug's Torture Chamber ( -25, -10, -13 ) but you cannot unlock the door to the room until you retrieve the key in one of the locked jail cells.
- Click on the dying Jailor Qulkor, who tells you that he has locked Thrug away and thrown the key into a cell.
- He then tells you how to find the cell. For example, "...from here... 2nd right... 2nd left... 1st left... 1st right" or "...from here... 1st left... 2nd left... 2nd right... 1st right" and so on
- If you do not unlock the cells in the given order, you die instantly.
- The key is in the last cell that you unlock. It's often somewhat concealed and small, but has a sparkle effect.
- Thrug casts a very high-damage spell, Bloody Mess that is usually an instant kill. The spell has a very small radius, so joust out!
- Thrug can only be damaged while he is moving, so you'll want to run back and forth down the hall. A slow spell helps a lot here.
- After Thrug is dead, the iron maiden in his room becomes active. You can open it, run down the hall, climb the rope, and you'll appear outside on the trebuchet near The Disabled Arm of Innoruuk. You can jump back down the opening to return to the torture chamber.
The Blood Iron Eater[]
- The Blood Iron Eater spawns when you harvest all the blood iron ore veins in the mine.
- Spawn location is ( 35, -11, 27 ) .
- One person will be ported to a other part of the mine. That person needs to stay put or you wipe. Run to him/her and cure the curse.

Sanctifier Kilug[]
A Scourge sword, hanging on the wall of the Prince's bedroom
- To spawn Sanctifier Kilug, go to the Shrine to Tallon Zek ( 14, 1, -21 ) .
- Kilug spawns using items that mostly drop from Scourge orcs in the keep, spears, swords, hammers, and shields.
- In some cases, you will find that one weapon type hasn't dropped from the orcs. In that case, the missing weapon(s) is on the wall in the Old Deathfist Stockpile over the Prince's bedroom ( 10, 16, 35 ) or in the Scourge Barracks at ( 9, 1, 8 ) , or might be in another location in the keep.
- Click the Shrine to offer the four weapons.

- Click the top box to spawn Maknok
- Click the bottom box to spawn Yegigoth
- Take the item back upstairs and sacrifice it at the shrine of Tallon.
Sanctifier Maknok and Captain Vulis[]
- Kill Captain Vulis first: Sanctifier Maknok can't be damaged until Vulis is dead.
- Vulis doesn't take much damage unless he is near one of the detrimental-causing totems that spawn.
- if Vulis manages to spawn 4 totems, you will wipe right the moment he summons the 4 totem
- allways face Maknok, that doesn't mean targeting him just make sure you "look" at him
- once Vulis is dead, Maknok will spawn totems of devastation. make sure you kill those
Sanctifier Yegigoth and the Spirit Princes[]
- The Spirit Princes are the ghosts of the Deathfist princes Gluntok and Valtoris
