The Black Knight's Fall concludes the secondary quest chain of the Argent Tournament starting with either [80] The Black Knight of Westfall? or [80] The Black Knight of Silverpine? Players are required to reach the rank of Champion by completing [80] A Champion Rises (Alliance) / (Horde) before Crusader Rhydalla will offer this quest.
Objectives
Defeat the Black Knight and then speak to Crusader Rhydalla at the Argent Tournament Grounds.
- The Black Knight slain
Description
We must put an end to the Black Knight's scheming, and show those who oppose us that we will not stand by and allow our champions to be murdered.
You must challenge the Black Knight and best him in combat, <name>.
Use my argent charger for the battle. It's housed in the stables.
Speak to Squire Cavin at the large ring on the southern side of the tournament grounds. The squire will call the Black Knight to battle, but you will make him answer for his crimes.
Rewards
You will be awarded with the achievement It's Just a Flesh Wound.
Progress
Is it done?
Completion
With the death of the Black Knight, the tournament may once again serve its purpose. The champions of the Horde and Alliance may demonstrate their skill at arms and train for the day when Arthas and his minions will no longer threaten us.
You have the thanks of the Argent Crusade, <name>, and that of all who have answered our call.
Notes
Squire Calvin is on the northern side of the Ring of Champions at the center.
The Black Knight comes in on an ebon gryphon but stays on the ground during the fight. He does not keep up stacks of Defend, but instead hits very hard. Charges hit for 11900 before mitigation (1700 against a 3-stack of Defend). He prefers to attack from range, so stay inside the Black Knight's Charge range while refreshing the mount's Defend stacks.
Attacking the Black Knight with Thrust causes 3250 damage, Shield-Breaker for 2000 and Charge for 8500, so move quickly before he takes the Argent Charger out.
Also if he survives his dismount (which at times he does not), he roars and appears to enrage. Although no buff appears, you are apparently dismounted but is still killable.
