Stratholme Main Gate dungeon guide

Stratholme Main Gate is the living side of Stratholme, a level 58-60 dungeon in northwestern Eastern Plaguelands. WoW Forever lists it separately from the Service Gate. Its bosses run from Timmy the Cruel through the Scarlet Bastion to Balnazzar, and several drop Dungeon Set 1 pieces. Since 9 November you cannot mount inside Stratholme.

Overview

The Main Gate side is the part of Stratholme held by the Scarlet Crusade. The group clears Festival Lane for Timmy the Cruel, moves through the Scarlet Bastion past Malor the Zealous and Cannon Master Willey, and ends with Archivist Galford and Balnazzar. Hearthsinger Forresten, Skul, The Unforgiven, Postmaster Malown and the Crimson Hammersmith are optional.

Forever keeps the 58-60 range. Since the 9 November hotfix, mounting is disabled inside Stratholme, so expect to walk the city's long streets. The Archivist and The Truth Comes Crashing Down send you through this side before the Service Gate.

Tips

  • Clear Festival Lane fully to make Timmy the Cruel spawn.
  • Expect to do the run on foot. Mounts do not work inside Stratholme since 9 November.
  • Take The Archivist before you enter. It leads to Balnazzar and then to Baron Rivendare in the Service Gate.
  • Paladins and warriors want Timmy and Balnazzar for Lightforge Gauntlets and Lightforge Boots.

FAQ

Is Stratholme one dungeon or two in WoW Forever?

WoW Forever lists Stratholme as two dungeons: the Main Gate, the living side held by the Scarlet Crusade, and the Service Gate, the undead side with Baron Rivendare. Both are level 58-60. In Classic it was one dungeon with two wings.

Can you mount in Stratholme?

No. A hotfix on 9 November disabled mounting inside Stratholme. Expect to walk the whole run. The change affects both the Main Gate and the Service Gate, since they are the same city.

Which Tier 0 pieces drop in Stratholme Main Gate?

Hearthsinger Forresten drops Magister's Boots, Timmy the Cruel drops Lightforge Gauntlets, Cannon Master Willey drops Shadowcraft Spaulders, Archivist Galford drops Devout Gloves and Balnazzar drops Lightforge Boots. Balnazzar also drops Pattern: Truefaith Vestments. All of these are Dungeon Set 1 pieces.
