The Defias Brotherhood

Escort the Defias Traitor to the secret hideout of the Defias Brotherhood. Once the Defias Traitor shows you where VanCleef and his men are hiding out, return to Gryan Stoutmantle with the information.

	Escort The Defias Traitor to discover where VanCleef is hiding
	Suggested Players [2]

Description

So Stoutmantle sends a scrawny <race> like you to protect me? Guess you'll have to do. Better bring some friends too.

You know the deal, right? You watch my back and I'll take you to the Defias hideout. But you better be close by my side. The Defias gang wants my head now. If they see me with you, they'll try to kill me.

Let me know when you and any friends you can round up are ready to go.

you get this quest after you finish with the messenger. you talk to the traitor at the bottom of the ramp at sentenial hill. if hes not there than someones escorting the traitor already..just wait for him to come back.

There's really only one tricky bit with this quest, and it's at the fountain in Moonbrook. Assuming no one else has cleared the area for you you'll see a mob at the cart and a mage at the fountain. Because the traitor won't stop unless he's engaged in combat, the first mob aggros and runs after him but doesn't stop him until he's in aggro range of the fountain mage. As soon as the mage hits the traitor, he runs to the fountain and aggros another mage on the other side. Be ready with poly, sap, a pet, or a friend to stem the tide.

After completing the killing quests from Stoutmantle, he sends you to a guy named Wiley the Black in Redridge. He then sends you back to Stoutmantle, who sends you to SI:7, then back to Stoutmantle. This might be the part of the chain missing.

There are NO elites what-so-ever on the escortquest... However as you enter the mine itself you will run into elites..

Note that this portion of the quest isn't given by Stoutmantle, but rather by The Defias Traitor at the bottom of the tower steps. It took me forever to figure that out.

This quest may not be instantly available to you due to the fact that it is given by The Defias Traitor. If someone started the quest before you, you'll have to wait until they're done with it and the traitor is returned to the tower before you can get it.

This part of the chain IS solo'able. ALl you do it walk him through moonbrook. keep him alive and its easy.

The second part is not, not until late 30s-40s, 50s if you're a priest.

Watch out for the Defias Messenger. I have ran into him twice as he spawned while trying to do this quest and both times he attacks me and my pet, but the traitor doesn't assist us. He just keeps walking until he runs into other defias.

I was only lvl 18 when I got this quest. Mind you I was a HEALER and was able to HEAL him and myself. (So this Strat won't work for non-healing classes) So long as you stand back and let him get aggro, it's easy. The only thing you have to watch out for is to keep him and yourself healed.

Still, easy as lvl 18. I imagine a priest or any other healing class wouldn't have any problem with this strat. either.

If you get him most of the way to the hideout and die, don't release. He will keep fighting and if he survives, he'll finish the quest and you can just release and go hand it in.

By Binary on 12/10/2006 (Patch 2.0.1)

This quest is part of a chain that ends with your killing VanCleef.

As for the quest itself it's very easy. Simple stay in close proximity with the Defias Trator and help him fight whatever mobs may attack you or him.

The Defias Traitor will walk from Sentinel Hill to Moonbrook at the entrance to The Deadmines.

You can find the messenger of the defias on the road betwen jasperot mine and moonbroke (to the left) He usualy patrol there (and yes this is the chain quest missing)!

First of all, there wasn't a yellow exclamation pt over the traitor's head so it took a while to realize that I needed to speak to him.&nbsp After he said "go grab some friends and come back," I tried to click him and he wouldn't interact.&nbsp He would become targeted but the dialogue window didn't pop up so that I could initiate the quest.&nbsp Is this quest broken?&nbsp Has anyone else experienced this?&nbsp I left it&nbsp alone for a while and now the quest is gray after I've gained a few lvls.&nbsp I'm now 27 (warr).&nbsp I don't want to abandon this quest because I want to eventually get the boss of DM.&nbsp Any suggestions?

VC is not soloable till lvl 30. You may get to him, but you will definitely not defeat him at level 20, whatever u are.

ok the forum is to help find and complete quests, not to lie about how you solo van cleef with a 16 hunter.&nbsp This is a dungeon with elites and bosses which, like any other dungeon, requires a party.&nbsp van cleef is a 21 elite boss and guards spawn continually until you kill him.&nbsp good luck killing alone until about lvl 35

One reason this quest canb be quite easy to complete alone is that the Hideout is often cleared by players to grind cash and/or bandanas. This leaves precious little to harrass the traitor as you escort him. This means that, if you are lucky, you will meet almost no opposition and have basically a free ride.

Unfortunatley, many of us are not so lucky...

I agree with the person above me. I also experience this same problem. I got the quest to escort him, but I could not talk to him or anything, and the quest didn't start up. This quest must be broken somehow.

Seems the quest line still has a bug in it. I got the message from the messengers body and took it to Stoutmantle. And it didn't go on. i hope the next restart fixes it.

By Anonymous on 08/13/2005 (Patch 1.6.1)

Ok, people. If you can't start the traitor part after the messenger part, it may be because someone else is already escorting the traitor. you'll have to wait until they're done.

I tried this at lvl 19, and I kept on getting fireballed to death. It's probably the problem with my really low skill, but any advice? And several times I tried, my computer lagged too much and he got to ahead of me and the quest failed.

Everytime I tried to take this guy to the hideout, I was ambushed by a Horde ? player who was cloaked. Even when I grouped up, sometimes with 60lvl, he popped out and wiped us out. After 10 tries, I called it a night...maybe try again in a few days!

Rating: +1 [-] [+]

By Anonymous on 07/14/2006 (Patch 1.11.2)

this quest starts by Stoutmantle, at the foot of the ramp that leads to him. Once you have finished the quest series up to this point you will see the "Defias Traitor" with a yellow ! above his head.

Take the quest and he quickly runs to Moonbrook, no lollygagging around. I had no aggro before we reached Moonbrook, then he helped to aggro and then kill 3 defias mobs before the message came that the quest was complete.

And you can be aggrod by Horde if they are there and you are on a PvP server - I was killed in Moonbrook even tho not flagged, but not during this quest.

All the messages about this quest are old. I don't even know how someone could get ganked by the horde unless their PvP flag was set (which has nothing to do with the quest since it is in Westfall).

If you are looking at this for help to do the quest, it is pretty easy when there are lots of people killing everything that moves in Moonbrook. Usually people will kill the spawn that attacks the guy just for their own exp. Just pick a busy time.
