Demetria herself is a shadow-priest type mob, with around 30,000 hit points.

She is escorted by 8-10 adds, each of which can heal and be resurrected by Demetria -- if in range.

The key to this encounter is to have a Mage bodypull the adds, and another member of the group use an instant spell on Demetria to separate her from the adds (which should be attacking the Mage). The adds have around 1200-1500 HP, so the Mage can easily kill them solo. However, the adds must ONLY be killed when they are out of range from resurrection by Demetria.

Once the adds are dead, return to the group who should already be grinding Demetria's HP down.

Grats on your new Bow/Wand/Shield!

Easily soloable by any class that has the ability to kite her. Dies before you can reach Light's Hope Chapel.

Wait for her adds to aggro one of the mobs on the way, in Corin's Crossing for example. Once they run off, attack and start to run. You will have a nice headstart, so her adds should never actually catch up to you.

Demetria herself moves slowly as well, normal player speed at the most. Plus she stops to cast Mind Blast or, if you are with someone else or have a pet active, Dominate Mind, which helps to build extra range.

Quest complete.

this mob is realy easy to grind from a lvl 70 i am a hunter marksman ..
the ting is that she drops Rgtheous orb that is needed for crusader that some people use and it is sold like 30-99.99 gold at AH :)
And i wanna ask how often do she respawns and im wondering do she starts walking form strathome ?

Comment by Zurgan

Just one thing to add. Demetria spawns when u accept the the Quest. She spawns in Tyr's Hand and moves up towards Stratholme.

If you guys want to be sure and want a easy fight... then kite her to :"https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/npc=11102 ", their have a nice health, and can take the damage from them (Remember to keep them alive, there is still many) the only thing with these, riders is that their do NOTHING damage, but is a really big helpfull hand in the battle (Remember to have an hunter to kite these)

I just solo'd this on a 66 Ret. Paladin.
I waited until her posse made it to Corin's Crossing and then jumped her as they were attacking the undead mobs there. It helps, but not a whole lot.

Comment by hevgirl

crap geared 80 ret paladin

Accepted the quest, ran to Tyr's Hand & didn't see her. Figured she was further
twards Strat since I wasted a bit of time before heading over. Got all the way to
Strat, waited, waited, killed the Scarlet Courier twice, THEN decided to pull up WowHead >_<
Read she walks uberslow, so I headed back to Tyr's Hand & spotted her @ 61, 70.

Ignored the adds & burned the Oracle. Seal of Command killed a few that she insta-rezzed,
but it was not a problem. Whole fight took a few seconds, not tough at all anymore! ^^

Mind Sear is pretty fun to use on her!

Comment by Sinnyo

She's outright suicide for a solo lvl 60 prot. warrior like myself. After I grouped up to down the courier but Nathanos' apple-chomping quest (prior to this one) was a solo affair, I'd hoped the Scarlet Crusade might send their prized oracle out alone. Eheh.

Attacking the group while she's meandering through Corin's Crossing really doesn't help much; as a shadow priestess with all those paladin escorts, she makes short work of the banshees and abominations and then a near perma-stun is turned upon you.

I tried kiting, though admittedly I am not well experienced in it. Running and Taunting whenever she fell into range still got me killed, as while she stops to cast Mind Blasts her troopers do not. The paladins then swarmed me, stun-locking resumed and even a Fear was thrown in.

Really I'd guess that this would take a 3-man group at 60. There may not be much call for heals, as in fact the group doesn't hit all that hard, but her 22k health and the damage absorption she receives under Shadowform mean you'll want thick and fast DPS concentrated on her. A warrior's Cleave and Thunder Clap take pretty easy care of her adds, but they are resurrected, seemingly in pairs.

If you picked up this quest, say, the night before, only to find that she spawns when you take the quest, it would appear that she does not immediately respawn once again if you abandon and retake the quest immediately. I've got a Mechano-hog with a full tank of gas, and blamed if I couldn't find her. Went all the way from Tyr's Hand all the way out to Stratholme, no Demetria in sight.

Dementria, The Scarlet Oracle, is one of the final quests that horde players can receive from Nathanos Blightcaller. It takes place after the quests you may have such as the Scarlet Oracle. When you start the quest, Dementria pops inside Tyr's Hand and begins patrolling toward Stratholme, surrounded by 9-10 58-60 non elite scarlet guards. She's a very powerful shadow priest and uses all the classic shadow powers; Mind Control, Mind Flay, and phsycic scream of course. She's also a very skilled healer, and if you kill her guards she rezzes them simultaneously, so you need a tank to keep them all busy while the rest of the party keeps the tank healed and deals with her. A full party can take her down, but I suggest everyone do it at level 60 if you don't want a very difficult fight.

to kill the oracle

first u have to seperate oracle from the guards

then u take the mobs somewhere far away and kill them :)-- watchout for hoyl hammer--- might need 2 mages

then u come bac and kill oracle 5v1

if u kill guards near oracle she will aoe res them all

Comment by Thottbot

I tried it 2 man first but it seems rather impossible since Dementia ends up mind controlling the healer which pretty much ruins the strategy. With 2 priests and a mage it is very doable. After you seperate her from the mobs you just need to focus dps on her and keep healed. Expect someone to get mind controlled and be ready to take care of it.

Comment by Thottbot

Just 3 manned this damn priest, 2 shamans and a druid =x

Comment by Thottbot

Okay when i get the quest i look around all on the road and she isnt there? Could the Courier keep killing her when they pass?

Comment by guestcg

She can be kited pretty easily, and although she dispels magic she can't remove curses or poison - 2manned her with a warlock and hunter, health pot and healthstone were needed for the swp but otherwise CoA and serpent sting took her down :)

Comment by Scottariah

Just soloed her as a 60 Warlock with good gear(although wasn't needed).

Just run away with full dots and her bodyguards de-aggro. eventually she dies.
Way easier than finding a group.

Comment by Schuhey

Don't listen to any other advice on this fight. Everyone else is wrong.

The ONLY way to do this fight is to have someone (read: Druid) tag the boss with moonfire, change into travel form, and kite the boss, until she is far FAR away from her adds. Once she is more than 50 yards from her adds, jump in and kill them all. The reason you cant just kill them, is that she has an infinite res ability that costs no mana. You can't leave the adds up cause they heal her for 100000000 hp. Once the adds are dead, mount up, catch up with your druid, and start dpsing the boss. You will want a priest healer so they can dispell shadow word pain and mind control. You cant stop the mindflay, you just have to heal/shield through it. If you do EXACTLY this, its pretty easy.

Comment by Amoris

Soloed her as a lv70 boomkin. Try killing the mobs 1 by 1 while kiting Demetria away, as the mobs will be ressed in a few seconds, but they won't follow you if you are far enough from them. After you only have Demetria and maybe a few mobs left, you can easily kill her :)
