Our last teaching raid was a lot of fun with heroic abbot. We had just 1 attendee who was new to the raid. If you missed, you can watch the replay of the livestream on DDO’s Twitch channel DDOstream here.
Next in our 2025 teaching raid series will be a double feature that includes one of DDO's classic raids Epic Demon Queen, as well as the epic abbot raid Mark of Death! We will host both the DQ pre-raid (Against the Demon Queen) and the raid (Zawab's Revenge), followed by Mark of Death on Saturday, June 14 at 1pm ET.
Teaching raids are almost done for 2025. If you haven’t joined us yet, now is a great time to start with DQ being one of the most soloable raids, so if you are new to or still learning this classic, which was DDO's first ever epic raid, please join us!
All events in this series are for players new(er) to raiding or players who are looking to learn raids better. First timers welcome! Please have sound and be willing and able to follow instructions.
The goal is to welcome newer players into the raiding scene, to teach people how raids work, to get players more comfortable with raids and to enhance the DDO community. There is no level cap for any of our teaching raids, but you must be at least level 20 to enter epic content.
If you are new to the DQ raid, you will need access to the Demon Sands adventure pack and you will need to be flagged by running 3 quests in Menechtarun: Offering of Blood, Chains of Flame and Chamber of Raiyum (wiz king).
If you don't know your way around the Sands, you can check out my video Sands of Menechtarun - A Tour of all Explorers and Rares.
We will be doing the raid on epic difficulty but you can run the flagging quests on epic or heroic to flag just the same. Each quest will give you an item that you need to take to the quest giver when you pick up the end reward, and then take to Zawabi the djinn, who is located up the hill from the mailbox in Zawabi's Refuge. The 3 items you need to give to Zawabi are the Orb of the Efreet, Blessed Blood Offering and the Phylactery of Raiyum. Once you've given all 3 items to Zawabi, talk to him again and he will grant the pre-raid quest Against the Demon Queen. We will run ATDQ together, so you will just need to have completed the other 3 quests prior to Saturday's event. Make sure you have turned in the quest items to Zawabi and he has granted you the quest Against the Demon Queen.
If you are new to Mark of Death, you will need to flag by running 4 quests in the Orchard of the Macabre: Epic Fleshmaker's Laboratory, Epic Ghosts of Perdition, Epic Desecrated Temple of Vol and Epic Inferno of the Damned. You will need to have access to the Necropolis Part 4 adventure pack.
Be sure to run the quests on epic and be sure to pick up the epic quests from the epic quest givers, which are located up the hill from the heroic quest givers. Unlike the heroic abbot raid (Accursed Ascension), there is no sigil to collect and you do not have to run Litany of the Dead (there is not an epic version of Litany of the Dead quest).
Inferno of the Damned can be confusing for newer players. If you are new to it and you don't have a guide, you can check out my video How to Solo Elite Inferno of the Damned. The video is the heroic quest, but the pathing is the same. Jump to the 6:00 mark to skip the introduction. Flesh Maker's Laboratory can be tricky to solo, so if you are a soloer and new to this quest check out How to Solo Elite Flesh Maker's Laboratory. Jump to 6:30 to skip the introduction.
Tip: you can use the guide at the entrance of the Orchard to teleport directly to the quest if you have done the quest before (even if you've done the heroic version). If you need to make the run to the quest and find it difficult to do in the epic instance of the orchard, you can make the run in the heroic instance instead and still have the option to run the quests on epic once you get there.
Space is limited so reserve your spot ahead of time! If you would like to reserve a space in this Saturday's event, please send in-game mail or tell to me Voodu. You can also stop by my livestream at Twitch channel vooduspyce if you have any questions or to sign up.
This event will be livestreamed on DDO’s Twitch channel DDOstream so even if you're not on Sarlona, you can watch, learn and ask questions live.
Thank you to the community for all the support and we hope to see you in raids soon
Much love,
Voodu and The High Lords of Malkier
PS. Only 1 week remaining in our 2025 teaching raid series! Our final teaching raid will be June 21 with Twilight Forge and Titan Awakes. If there is interest, we may repeat Threats Old and New and Den of Vipers. Please let me know if you are interested in seeing these again this season.
