Comentario de DracoRubi

Éste jefe activa el evento del Ajedrez gigante de Karazhan, que recuerda al de Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal.

Comentario de zetafreak

Aquí os dejo una estrategia para solear el tablero de ajedréz
No se puede decir que sea 100% efectiva por que este juego tiene muchas posibles jugadas, pero en la mayoría de los casos funciona a la primera. Espero que os sirva.

Con la macro ""/cancelaura Control de pieza"" evitas que se quede pillado el evento, y puedes cambiar de piezas sin que desaparezcan en el 8.3 (comprobado con varios pjs)

Starts the Chess Event in Karazhan, which if you complete it will spawn the Dust Covered Chest

Comentario de FarseerLolotea

Oddly enough, this NPC (who's supposed to be a human) is built off of a modified night elf model rather than the human one.

Comentario de Hairband

Guys go read "The Last Guardian" by Jeff Grubb.

His mom is an Elf mage (Aegwynn) and his dad, Aran, was a handsome, talented Court Conjurer of Stormwind. The designers did a great job in Medivh's physical representation.

Comentario de Dragonfang

So with the recent news of Transmogrification coming soon in 4.3, I'm quite interested in trying to acquire the look of Medivh for my Mage. Obviously the staff can't be gained, but I am mostly interested in the Helm and Shoulders.

Anyone have any ideas where the same/similar model of them can be obtained from? Going to conduct my own research and see what I can find. Will update this post if anything is found.

Comentario de 503175

I cannot seem to do this. I soloed every boss so far and have been defeated at the chess event at least a dozen times! I'm still on the quest chain I started to get the key to this place and currently have to kill the Prince to move on. Grr! What to do?

Comentario de ShadowHMF

"To pass beyond my Hall, you must defeat me in a game of skill! Control your king when you are ready to begin..." - Echo of Medivh

Yet what I don't get is, why does he cheat when he wants a game of skill :)

Comentario de jdevlin7756

I'm hoping this is just a bug... but as of patch day 5.0.4 this event is no longer possible. Please understand, I've been doing solo Kara for months now (DE and gold drops.... easy 45mins) . The event now happens so fast that I don't think it's possible with a full raid.

*edit: It is still possible... It just takes a LOT of tries until Medivh finally hands you the fight by standing his king in fire or some such. Even still I just BARELY won.

Comentario de 506887

Currently, Hunter's exhiliration talent can heal the King while in the "vehicle" as it were.

Edit: Coupled with Readiness, this allowed me to heal him back to full twice, even after getting crappy luck with placement I won first try.

Comentario de 1062573

I used to have trouble with the chess event but found a strategy that was easily crushing the opponent (to the point that I'm ending the game with 8 pieces alive, all of theirs dead). I should note this is a combination of things I've seen from other people combined together with a few things of my own, but I don't see any info on it on wowhead, so I figured I'd post it.

Make sure game sound is on, at least at the start, as you will be wanting to listen to an audio queu from Medivh.

1) Start the game by activating your king and spam the leave vehicle button.
2) Activate the pawn in front of the king as soon as possible (you can spam click it and hit escape if the say option isn't up yet), move it ahead one space, and get out as quickly as possible (don't even wait for the piece to finish moving, just hit move and get out of there).
3) Take one of your pawns which is one from the end (i.e. in front of the knight) and move it ahead one space. Get out as fast as possible.

--------- Here's where the real strategy starts ----------------

4) Grab the Rook near the second pawn you moved and get it somewhere into the center as soon as possible.
5) The goal is to exploit is Hellfire (aoe) ability. Spam is absolutely as much as possible. It has an aoe radius of 2, so position for maximum damage.
6) First priority should be to wipe out large clumps of Footman
7) Second priority, and something you do need to do, is to kill both of the enemy's healers, though you may have to do it one at a time.
8) Try to position your Rook so it can melee a piece, preferably a healer when possible. The aoe is his main mechanic, but the melee damage will help on stronger pieces.
9) Avoid taking too much damage on the Rook. In particular, keep moving him around so that he's not getting punched by enemy pieces. Remember that you don't have to "run away" from a piece to avoid getting hit, you just need to move to a direction they're not facing.

--------- Medivh Cheating ----------------

10) Medivh will cheat, but he'll have an audio queu before he activates the mechanic about evening the field. The first cheat will always be fire. The very moment you hear the queu, get out of your Rook and head to your King. You should be able to get him out of the fire only taking a few ticks. He won't do fire again.
11) Throughout the fight, Medivh will empower units. You CANNOT let anything important (Rooks, Kings, or Queen) get meleed by these units. Even if it's just an enemy pawn, they hit INCREDIBLY hard when empowered, and will tear anything they melee apart.

---------- Endgame ---------------

12) To win, you need to clear much of the enemy's field (well, not technically, but it will help a lot). You do need to kill the enemy's healers.
13) Use your judgement, but expend your Rooks first. Their aoe is incredibly powerful and they can do a lot of damage. After almost all enemy units are dead, their aoe isn't so great, which makes them good fodder for meleeing the enemy healers to death.
14) You will want to end the game using the Queen. Unlike many strats, you will never actually be piloting the King; moving him forward tends to get him killed a lot when you can't control your healers at the same time. The Queen should first be picking off the remaining enemy healer (if both healers are up and at high health, you need to do better work with your Rooks). Once the enemy healers are dead, just focus on the King and he will fall. The Queen can attack from VERY far away, nuking the king down without even getting in his danger range. If he decides to stay on the far side of the field, your Queen nukes him down without taking any damage; if he comes in close, you should still have half a dozen units up that will pile damage onto him.

FINAL NOTE: Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT just pull out a Rook and leave it there. You want to manually control them. If you leave the AI to do it's own thing, it will not Hellfire nearly enough. Furthermore, the AI is not smart enough to "evade" enemies. You want to keep trying to move the Rook around everytime enemy pieces are meleeing it, not to mention moving to where your aoe will do more damage. A single piloted Rook is 10 times more effective than 2 unpiloted Rooks moved to the center of the field. Other than saving your King from fire or empowered pieces, you should always be in the Rooks until either the enemy board has been cleared or both the Rooks are dead.

Comentario de WatashiFR

Since 5.3 the doors eventually open automatically regardless if you complete the Chess Event or not. You do have to make an effort though.

Comentario de Shawnyall

So it took me a while to understand how to perform any aforementioned strategies, but once I figured out how this chess works (because the Leave Vehicle button wouldn't work on my bars), I finished it on my first try WITHOUT ANY REAL STRATEGY.

So, instead of doing any of that confusing junk, I just let the game progress while I tried to figure out how to exit the king.

After a while, it was only my king, two clerics, a charger, and the mage. I let the charger tank the Warchief and use the mage as RDPS, buffing them both with my King and healing the charger with my Cleric. The charger soon died, and I had my King tank and DPS the Warchief, switching between the cleric and mage for more DPS and heals, and the Warchief went down without any problems.

All the strategy, I'd say, is just malarky. It's easier to wing it than to follow instructions.

Comentario de Jorvalt

I got really lucky when I tried to solo this. It ended up being a 1v1 battle between my king and the other, and thankfully mine won.

Comentario de jedizombies

If you find your "Leave Vehicle" button on your bars not working, try right clicking the buff off. My 'Leave Vehicle" button never works, but removing the buff helps me leave the piece I chose so I can hop in another one.

Hope this helps. :)

Comentario de 1064378

My very simple strategy:

1) Hop in the king to start the battle, hop out as quick as possible.

2) get in the warlock (horde) or the conjurer (alliance).

3) Spam 3 and 4 every time a piece gets within range.

4) The other king will eventually walk over towards you and you'll be able to nuke him down.

Note: This isn't a strategy that will work every time, but since I've been farming Karazhan it's worked every time for me within 3 tries. Also, very low maintenance! No panicking!

Comentario de Avataru

as of the latest patch I can't get any of these strats to work...

Comentario de Zemia

This was on Horde side but I could only control the Warchief. I spammed bloodlust till a decent amount of the ally side pieces were dead. The King moved to the middle of the board and my warlocks were lighting him up. I was able to move in front of the pawn that was in front of me, the circle indicating were you move to was only partially in that space but I was still able to move there. I continued to bloodlust and cleave on the King and down he went. Took about 5ish minutes I'd guess. Hope this helps someone, I only did it once so far.

Comentario de ladorna

I do not know if this is a glitch with the Legion Pre-Patch but when i did the chess event this week, the horde pieces moved forward and then turned their backs to me. Also, their "king" never moved until i attacked him. Sure made the event much easier.

Comentario de Viscario

Note about chess event: sometimes the pieces you control and move forward face the direction you moved from, as in turn their backs to the enemy. This takes up precious time so best course is to move two pawns from the front of your king and queen a step forward, move one of the horses (and the equivalent on Horde side) to the front of the queen, making sure it faces the enemy. This gives the queen more time to live and deal damage to the enemy pieces.

Finally, take control of your king, spawn buff but don't move until Medivh uses the fire cheat. Otherwise wait for the enemy king to move to you to kill him while clearing the board out of other pieces.

Tested multiple times on Alliance side during pre-patch and works, even though the need to turn those pawns facing the enemy again is a bit annoying.

Comentario de Enina

I've been running through this place a lot lately attempting to snag Midnight and all 3 Illusions (just missing Soulfrost now), but I stop on Chess to grab a few items I've missed on my non-DHs.

The most successful I've been is dragging out the Rook and Knight on one side and pushing through. The knight can easily get to the backline, while the rook can AoE many enemies at once and/or distract them. The main goal is to kill at least one Bishop (healer). With both up, they will spam heal the king and you can't burn him down. However, with one dead and other troops engage, you can typically overwhelm the king pretty easily--you might need to back off to get a heal on him once or twice.

Position your king to engage, or manually control him if you want, but I recommend using your queen to decimate from range. Their range is massive, and their damage is extremely high. As long as your king is not disproportionately low or somehow surrounded, you can pretty much snipe down their king at your leisure. You really don't need to control your grunts (maybe one or two at most), and only one side of your board to be effective. You can position your bishops facing your targets and they will spam damage when not healing.

Chess isn't hard solo, but it's tedious. Medivh's cheating is annoying, but not really terrible. Even if you somehow lose a piece to his fire or super saiyan buffs, you can still complete this with relative ease.

Comentario de hunnib

What not to do when trying to solo the chess game.

You must hop into the king to start, and his icon appears under yours, like hunter pet. My red dismount arrow was no where to be found and I did not see a buff I could click off. I right clicked on the king's icon and dismissed him. Woah, big mistake. The game never ended. All my pieces died, Medivh kept cheating and telling me to jump into the king to start the game. The exit door would not open. I hearthed out, reloaded ui, exited game completely, flew back, went back inside and I could tell the game was still going on, big letters on screen, "Echo of Medivh cheat!". lol.
Good luck and don't dismiss anything.

Comentario de Alystil

Chess Event is currently bugged. Pieces you dismiss vanish from the board. So when you start the event by hopping into the king and leave to move the pawns, the king is gone and with it your strongest piece. Worst of all, the king cannot die and therefor Echo of Medivh cannot win resulting in a broken instance. Resetting does not help as hunnib and others confirmed.

Solution:
I stayed in the king figure the whole time, buffing my other pieces with heroism and waited until the e2-pawn died to the enemy pawn. Then I was able to move my king. I then continued clearing the board and killing the war chief. Even fire on e1 did no significant damage. Just keep cool, buff and wait.

Comentario de Shardsy

The last weeks... the pawns disappear from the game when I dismiss them. I hope this is a passing bug.

Comentario de mcmelen

I took control of Warchief Blackhand to start the event. Dismissed the him and was teleported to the ramp. Took control of an Orc Necrolyte, spammed 4 while using the occasional heal. Eventually King Llane approached and killed him. I moved over one space to give myself more time to heal and attack. With no King of mine to kill, the event worked just fine. Assuming this would work for the Alliance.

Comentario de Madalynn

This might get down voted but in the current patch I had issues with the chess event whilst trying to do it solo, I have tried everything at one point and couldnt work out how to get this down solo, I even came here and looked up the patch and read the comments.

I personally found in my experience the best way to beat this solo is to just Jump in your factions king Lane for alliance and Blackhand for horde and stay in there and press 4 for Bloodlust/heroism in hope that your king is the last one standing, I have tried moving around the pieces to no avail and I have tried staying in the king at least twice whilst pressing 4 for lust and this worked for me and I have managed to get past the chess event.

I hope this will help others or you find your own way around this event to get it down.

Goodluck have fun :)

Comentario de Plasmaxyz

If you are getting the bug where pieces disappear when you leave them, make sure you right click the buff to exit pieces. If you dismiss the unit you're in, it will always disappear.

Comentario de MrGrubs

According to the patch notes, the 1-30-2018 hotfix adjusted the health of some pieces. I won by taking control of the conjurer (queen) and focusing ranged attacks on the enemy king as soon as I could target him. But first, I moved the king's footman (pawn) ahead one square, then moved the king ahead into the square vacated. When Medivh cheated by creating fire under the king, I dropped control of the conjurer, took control of the king, and moved him out of the fire back one square to his original spot, then took control of the conjurer again. The enemy healers simply cannot keep up with the conjurers focused fire due to this health change, but you have to control him or he will attack randomly.

Comentario de CyberChiewu

How to play: Once figured out, it makes sense. But, the button is not so intuitively obvious. So, the first step is you're told to click on the King to start playing. That's fine; but, first time there, figuring what to do next while learning what the piece has for spells, not so intuitive. Clicking the button does not let you occupy a piece, and exiting the piece seems more like game over than the path to continued playing.
But this is one of those times when you can enter another vehicle.

Intuitively, you'd think that would be obvious to just think of each piece as a vehicle, and it is, once you know that. There is a short cool down when leaving one 'vehicle' before you're allowed to enter another.

Perhaps the game's been changed again; but, as for winning, I found it so easy... I wondered what the fuss was about. However, I will say it's easy to lose when one just sits in the King, and keeps pressing the occupy a piece trying to change pieces while in the king: ("What do you mean I need to be closer, I'm in the space next to him, how much closer can I get?)... Nevertheless, this little, really quite fun, game could have had better programming logistics and it would have really been fun, and maybe a tad more intuitive. Ex: instead of having to leaving a piece to occupy another, allow the use of the occupy a piece button on the targeted piece (if it's yours), but only if the current piece has all spells in cool down. The cool down was so short when outside the piece, that just by increasing the cast time, they could have achieved the same result without having to leave and enter all the time, allowing for more continuity, making it more like real chess. They could also have made it more like real chess by allowing all pieces to move the number of squares like the original game. The 'queen' does that to some degree, and the knight.... but the others... not so much. Have fun... I sure did.

One last thing. Be sure when done to reset the game. Fail to do so and you'll soon discover that you can't use your spells or weapons because Sesión de juego. Just return to Eco de Medivh and reset the game. However, it is one heck of a way to learn you're still playing, even if you thought you were done.

After so many weeks I ran just till Chess Event and didnt dare to do it.
I finally did it in 1st run

Try this:

As Horde: Jump On Blackhand, Do nothing except Bloodlust when enemies are near your troops.
After a while Ally King came near, and I use no3 (cleave) on him and bloodlust on nearby guys.

Comentario de MoarHeroisms

If you're still silenced after beating the event, simply relog and the debuff will disappear.

Comentario de SamashNZ

If anyone is still having issues soloing this encounter simply take control of a cleric, heal your footmen as needed. Heal your King when Medivh cheats and your pieces will eventually wipe out most of the enemy board. Jump on your second cleric, heal as much as you can and take control of the Conjuror (Queen) when the enemy Blackhand (King) gets two spaces from your King.

Comentario de dkcm

I wouldn't mind this event / boss if it wasn't so glitched up. Blizz needs to either fix the damn encounter or make it something we can bypass.

Comentario de intothesunspots

If you're having trouble with the Sesión de juego debuff not falling off after you win, talk to the Shade of Medivh and ask him to reset the board. The debuff should disappear along with the remaining chess pieces.

Thanks to Lunne89 for posting this solution on the Sesión de juego page!

Comentario de achorn

As of todays hotfix the chess chest is once again lootable, however the encounter is glitched and you can only control the King.

Comentario de Incandio

This wretched encounter is still a buggy mess and frankly it says something about quality control at Blizzard that it hasn't been fixed, even after they had a fresh pass at it to make the chest lootable if you did somehow get lucky enough to complete the encounter.

Not only does it glitch out constantly (pieces just vanishing after you exit them and so on) but there is no way to reset the encounter after it crashes, leaving you stranded and unable to progress.

The encounter doesn't even end when all your pieces are defeated, but just cycles through Medivh's "cheating" dialogue. Today I'm left with the silence debuff in KZ and the encounter still stuck on Medivh's dialogue even if I port out to Stormwind, reset all instances, then return. Will I ever be able to return to do this instance again? I'll return after the weekly reset.

So, still one to be avoided and ruining what should be the experience of running what used to be a flagship dungeon filled with lore.

Comentario de Dathwada

The event is still doable, the only thing you need to consider is that you have to remove the buff Control de pieza, DO NOT leave the chess piece through the "LEAVE" action bar button, otherwise the NPC disappears and the event is buggy.

Comentario de sis4dark

Make macro with ""/cancelaura Control Piece"" to change without bug. Works in 2020 and 8.3 !

Comentario de roliasmot

Still bugged...try to exit the king, he disappears, game is stuck forever. Anyone find a way to reset it? I've logged, died, exited, nothing. I've gone on other toons for a bit. Noting. :(

Comentario de Koterulezz

I beat chess event today on a Horde character w/o ever leaving Warchief piece. First spamming Bloodlust and then moving forward a bit and striking whoever left of the enemy. So this tactics still works apparently.
