This quest requires that you kill the Emperor, but do NOT kill the Princess. Once the Emperor is dead, she will become friendly and you can talk to her to complete the quest chain. The easiest way to do this is to keep her CC'ed, as she will heal the Emperor otherwise.

Hey,

I'm glad many of you happened to finish the quest by not hitting the princess, I ran it 4 times before I was teamed with someone who actually knew what the bug was.

The princess must be LOOKING at the emp when he dies. I just completed it, and the princess was at like 50% hp. I tanked the %#$@ out of her.

If you happen to have done no dmg to the princess, and she's still looking at the emp, then it will finish too. But, not necessarily. Have fun!

same as 3 posts above me, have run it 2x after 1.10 first time we had a locks fellhunter tank/scilence her, she took minimal damage liek 2% was right next to emp when he died, she remained hostile and locked in the "evade" bug

2nd time we ignored her toatlly, no way she coudl have taken any damage, same thing happened

All you do is pull the emp and princess down you take her around corner so she dont heal have somebody off tank her......Once the emperoer is Very low on health bring her out so she can see him die then she turns friendly......Simple as that i did 5 man 1 priest 1 mage 1 rog 1 paladin 1 lock Very simple......GL

To the two posters above me... THANK YOU! I thought I was alone with this. I have just finished a five man Emp run, without killing the Princess. Now, she evade bugged on us, and I didn't think much of it at the time. Little do I realize that I need to talk with her to complete the quest. Fack! Have yet to submit a ticket, will do that tomorrow.

And I was so pysched to get my ring too... :(

Maybe this is 'cause of 1.10?

I posted earlier on this topic, and I did get to speak with a GM about it. This was recently after the 1.10 patch, so I don't think he had heard any reports about it yet. Basically I was told that he would bring it to the attention of development and that it seemed that the quest randomly bugged out on people from time to time, but my particular bug may be the result of the recent patch. He couldn't give me credit for the quest or offer any advice as to how to prevent it the next time and just told me to try again.

I ran a very smooth Emp run again last night, this time with a paladin pulling the princess away and keeping her occupied. This time she didn't react at the emperor's death, remained hostile, and was again stuck in evade mode. I submitted another GM ticket and received the typical "quest petition" in-game mail response. No luck.

Has anyone successfully completed this quest since the patch? If so, what were the circumstances?

Did the quest last night, went all out on the Emperor, no one touched the princess even though she healed.&nbsp As the healer, I agroed her the whole time but she often left me to heal the emperor.&nbsp Her heals aren't very strong.&nbsp She doesn't hit very hard so I just shielded and let her whack away.&nbsp Was able to complete the quest easily once the emperor was down.

As the above poster says, read the quest: "And <name>, do not harm her! Remember, she is being controlled by Thaurissan! The things she may do or say are a result of Thaurissan's evil spell!"

Do not harm the princess in any way.&nbsp No tanking, no DoTs, no AoE, no nothing.&nbsp Better safe than sorry.&nbsp Worked like a charm on our first kill.

13,900 XP with 2.3. Another 13,900 to go talk to the king in ironforge!

Argh! My group just got bitten by the bug where she stays hostile to you even though you killed the Emperor. Is there any chance a GM could give us credit for the quest, or are we doomed to another long BRD run? I've put in a ticket, we'll see what happens.

We weren't doing anything crazy, druid in bear form was off-tanking her on the north side of the room while we killed him on the south.

We just did this with a pet off-tanking the princess and applying only viper sting to her. Afterwards we killed the emperor, she was visibly shaken but remained hostile and stuck in evade mode. I submitted a GM ticket so we'll see what happens.

I too encountered this problem on this quest, i tried it twice :(. After having a druid tank her in the middle of the room, the rest of the party downed the emperor. She ran to the middle both times and went on evade and didnt change faction. Due to this, like many of you, i petitioned a GM, and this was the response i got in my email:

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

In order to solve your current quest issue we ask that you do the following:

-Abandon the quest from the quest log
-Move all quest items to the main backpack
-Return to the NPC that gave you the quest (If it is a series, the last NPC you interacted with)
-Acquire the quest again
-If the �error duplicate item appears� then please destroy any quest items.

If the same issue occurs a second time, please petition for a Game Master detailing the events.&nbsp We thank you for your patience.

Thank you again for contacting us.&nbsp We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!

^ I dont really understand, considering there is no quest item :x. maybe just quit the quest and retry?

I sent a ticket to a GM and after some work the GM informed me that this is now a know issue and they are working to fix it.&nbsp (Ya I'd rather it didn't break, but things happen.&nbsp At least they are fixing it)

well, didn't work for us. Damn ^&*!@ didn't switch and we killed her:/

This quest is bugged. I have tried this with an offtank on the princess and we kill the emp, and I have tried it with ignoring her completely, doing ZERO damage to her, and she either goes into evade mode, or keeps attacking us. Both times she was standing RIGHT NEXT to the emperor when he died.

I submitted a ticket, and I actually received a timely and helpful response:

GM: "Unfortunately it is a known issue, and the developers are working on a solution for it. Any updates for this matter will be posted on www.worldofwarcraft.com on the front page under patch notes."

ME: "Ah so it will be fixed in a future patch?"

GM: Yes.

ME: "So your suggestion would be not to bother trying again until I see such an update in the patch notes?"

GM: "Unfortunately, that is correct"

That is straight from "the horses mouth" so to speak, so take his advice, and mine, and dont waste your time. If you do, you MIGHT get lucky and she wont bug, but more than likely you will just have wasted hours of your valueable game time, for the frustration of no reward at the end, so dont bother.

The above posters are right. The quest is bugged.

We had someone tank the princess at the other end of the room, while I (a paladin) healed him. The three other party members concentrated on the emperor. When the emperor died, the princess had about half her health left. But she stayed hostile, and we were forced to kill her. So my advice is also not to bother with this quest until it is fixed.

The quest can't be done in a raid, but it CAN be turned in in a raid. So if you can't turn in because the Princess didn't turn friendly, you can come back with a raid party to turn in. (I suspect there is a damage threshhold...if you do too much damage to her, she stays hostile but it could just be bugged)

The stratagy we used last night worked well. I sent my pet (with bite turned off) to OT the Princess. Then our tank pulled the Emperor to about the middle of the room. That way I was able to stand within range of my pet to heal, while still within range of the Emperor for DPS. He went down pretty quickly and she turned freindly. :)

Just ran this quest today (July 7) and it's still bugged. But one thing I noticed was that when we killed emperor, she became friendly and ran to throne. When we looted him she became hostile and ran down to kill us.

Still, a pain and bliz needs to fix this asap. It sounds like tons of people are having this problem and wasting their time.

So can the Princess be:

-sheeped
-Mind Controlled
-Feared

If so to any of those this fight will be very easy.&nbsp We are going in a group of a Mage, Warrior, 2 Hunters and a Priest.&nbsp I'm thinking that we will just open up on the Emperor and let her heal him as she likes.&nbsp Then when the Priest pulls agro from her she is either sheeped, feared, mind controlled or a combination of the three.&nbsp This should give the other 4 members (3 of whom can put out huge damage) enough time to take the emperor down.

Downed the Emp, the Princess ran back to her spot, but stayed red and immediately attacked us again, forcing us to kill her or be killed. We reported the bug to a GM, who said it was a known problem, and that all they could do was apologise to me (the GM won't put you on the next part of the quest or give you the quest rewards if this happens).

I had the same thing happen, dont think we will be able to do anything until they fix it.&nbsp But once someone finds that its fixed, be sure to post.

EVERY ONE needs to talk about this on blizz foums and&nbsp scream about it people that have already completed the quest in there quest log should be moved on to the next part as part of the patching of this quest. If we have to do the quest over again we are loseing the drops from the princess that we should have gotten if we killed her insteed of saving her.
So every one please post and pettion it every time you&nbsp log on if nothing is said then nothing will be done

She didn't change faction, just kept hitting us after the emperor fight. Have done that quest for oever 30 times and never done such $%^& before :(

Did this one today. Worked fine, stupid tank did not listen and started hitting her. Got him to stop and kill emp. Princess turned green and i handed in the quest.

just wanted everyone to know.

did it just now and got really pissed at my team mates for killing her untill i found out it was bugged...

hope they fix it soon.

Just killed the Emperor for the first time.&nbsp The group I was with insisted on killing her first, saying we couldn't do it without a second tank in the party.&nbsp Seemed like a really, really easy fight as it was, I think we could have.&nbsp But I guess if it's bugged, it doesn't matter.

We had the warrior tanking emp, along with all the dps on him, while I (feral druid) OT'd princess.&nbsp When emp died, an emote appeared that said soemthing along the lines of "The Princess is visibly shaken by the death of Emp," but she kept on attacking me.&nbsp We waited for a bit, ran out past magmus' room, and eventually had to kill her.&nbsp When I got back to IF, I paged a GM, saying something along the lines of the fact that we had killed emp, but had nowhere to turn the quest in, and got this email (I logged before I got a repsonse.)

"Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.&nbsp

Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill your request at this time.&nbsp There are tactics that must be used to be able to turn this quest in as intended.&nbsp Unfortunately, should this battle plan not be followed, the quest cannot be completed.&nbsp This is actually working by design.&nbsp Though our goal is to attend to each and every petition we receive, certain actions are beyond the scope of the Game Master Department.&nbsp I am very sorry for the inconvenience that this causes you, and wish you the best of luck.&nbsp Thank you for your patience and understanding."

This, to me, suggests that we either have to not damage her at all, or not damage her after emp dies (most easily accomplished by stopping attack right before he dies).&nbsp Other than that, "Working as intended."

Kinda sucks, been working on that quest since before 1.10, this was the first group that's managed to make it past the lyceum (considering the only other time there was a mage in the group, the group stopped to drink at a place where one of those nasty big pats spawns), and I was hoping to replace the last green in my kitty set.

After reading all the messages for this quest, I thought I mention that we just successfully completed the quest.

I am a hunter, and I sent my pig on her while the rest of the group killed the emp.&nbsp I did not do any damage to her other than shoot her with the mana drain sting once in a while and I spent all the time healing my pig while she beat on it.

The moment the emp died, she turned friendly and we could walk up to her and complete the quest.&nbsp She even gave us a new quest, to return to her father in IF and give him a message, for which you get a to choose 1 of 2 rings as a reward.

It appears as though they fixed the bug.

Just completed the quest with a group of guildies.
60 warrior
60 rogue
60 pally
60 hunter
60 Druid

For the outer room, don't stop moving. The respawns will come quickly.&nbsp Just move and get the torches as you go (BTW, the torches only have a 5 minute shelf life).&nbsp After you kill the giant in the second room, watch out for the statues on the side.&nbsp They shoot flame.&nbsp Easy to avoid them though.&nbsp Finally, in the emperor's room, kill all the trash mobs before you engage him.&nbsp Most are non-elite and can be cleared quickly.&nbsp For us, the hunter pet off-tanked the princess, while the rest of us downed the emperor quickly.&nbsp She changed to friendly and allowed us to complete the quest.

We just did this quest but the princess never turned friendly she always stayed hostile to us...

spoke to a GM today and he also confirmed its f00ked

Still bugged. Tried on 6/24 and 6/25.&nbsp Both time she attacked right afterwards.&nbsp Even tried two different tactics.&nbsp Tanked her far, then tanked her close.&nbsp

With minimum damage to her, and both times we stopped attacking when the Emp. is at 2% or so.

So has anyone actually got a GM to help them by setting the quest to complete and giving you the next quest in order to get the ring?

I was actually watching the princess as we killed the emperor&nbsp last night.&nbsp No-one hit her during the fight.&nbsp I saw her go green, she ran up behind the throne, where there were no players.&nbsp As soon as she went out of line of sight from me, she reappeared, hostile.

I don't know the timing relative to the Emp being looted - although I suspect it may well have happened at that moment.&nbsp The emperor was down in the hall when we took him down.&nbsp It's possible the princess was out of line of sight behind that throne at the point he was looted.

Whatever, this quest is most definitely still not behaving itself.

Just went there, she got clobbered a few times.&nbsp She turned friendly, no one looted...and I talked to her successfully.

ok what's the spwan time on these fooking dwarfs.. we wiped in a raid group casue we though someone was pulling... there' no way to make them stop (i.e doing arena so the watchers don't aggro) i'm guessing not... any other tips?

well we used a spiked tank tatic where you'd give a tank with high armor retribution arua and thorns and have him run through one mob and use AoE around him(this works better with warriors with retaliation)

Completed the quest on patch 1.10. Tried ignoring the princess, but she silenced our healer, so we wiped. So we offtanked her, hit her several times. The quest worked anyway. We tried (on advice, to avoid the bug) to not hit her just before the emperor died, and it worked.
