Blight Boar is a mini-game at the Darkmoon Faire.
The concert event starts every hour on the half hour.

The concert takes place in an area with lots of Undead NPCs called the Cauldron of Rock. The Cauldron of Rock has a spooky stage and is surrounded by gravestones.
Every half hour, the Undead NPCs run into the area to catch a show! Producer Jay McGuire introduces Blight Boar and the NPCs all start dancing.
Periodically, a rare elite will spawn which you must defeat. This is a boss, the Cavaliere del Metal, who hits very hard!

How To Win:

During the performance, in order to gain points as a fan, you must protect the band.
You score points by defeating the Cavaliere del Metal and the Ghouls who spawn from the graves around the band and walk slowly towards the stage.
Stage diving also gives you points as a fan!
You will go from Fan Occasionale to Fan Serio to Fan Appassionato and finally to Fan Numero Uno as indicated by a debuff on your character.

Rewards:

Commento di Pizzabagels15

Possibly bugged at the moment, as the event ended and he would not die. Instead he chased down and killed everyone. Unsure of what caused it, so if it happens to anyone else and they spot it, post it so we know what NOT to do.

Commento di Neony

The big question is: do you get loot multiple times a day, once a day or once a week?

Commento di prickskytt

Bugged ATM. He gets stuck at 1% and will not die. I've tried different servers but they all have the same issue so we'll probably have to wait for a few days before they fix it. Will update if it starts working.

EDIT: I managed to kill him once today after SEVERAL tries. My guess is that it's a phasing issue and most of the times it simply doesn't trigger due to a bug somewhere in the code. The issue itself still persists as I had to try about 5 times for it to work. Hang in there people. Maybe they'll look into it soon.

EDIT 2: Seems to be fixed. Had no issues at all so far so we'll just have to hope it stays like this

Commento di Ellysimo

Do not interrupt Army of the Dead. This is what's causing him to bug.

I can confirm that interrupting this cast is the reason he's bugging out.
Someone stood on the stage/platform/behind the invisible wall the entire fight and he was not affected.

Commento di Gadoink4

I went and fought him on my level 100 today, and he appeared to scale down. Does anyone know what the minimum level he can scale to is?

Commento di ferib

How about the rare loot?
Can only the player with Fan Numero Uno get the rare loot?
or is the loot somthing random wich only requires some luck?

Commento di Gershuun

I think his rare loot is on a weekly/monthly timer.

You can enter this line into the game and if it says "true" it means the game flagged you as having already killed him and he will no longer show up as rare or have a chance at the rare loot.

This is a link to the quest Death Metal Knight.

Commento di Loratadine

Anyone understand how the point system works? I managed to get Number One Fan once (not on my first try), but am unsure how I got it. Haven't been able to get it again.

Commento di weibe23

i have no clue, one player on death metal knight kill at random cycling thru DMF was a silver flagged rare elite. all other players prior he was gold, and have never seen him silver since

logged have another account, took a player to Blight Boar concert at darkmoon faire death metal knight was a elite with gold border. told other players

so i have no clue WTF the mechanics is of this event, slam the stage? been there since day 1 of this added event, no clue on the silver vs rare proc mechanics either. some say it's once per month account he will be silver, others say once per player per DMF monthly.

Commento di Wren

Is your loot based on your fan score?

Commento di Toraziyal

I would like to confirm that you have a chance for the "special" loot (helmets, toy, 2h mace) only once a month, but for every single toon. The Death Metal Knight shows as rare-elite if not killed (and returns quest complete macro "false"), only as elite (and "true") if killed already this week.

I also want to confirm that toy and even helmet will drop on lower level characters. I just got both the toy and the cloth helmet (item level 183!) on a lv79 mage. The 2h mace should follow the same rules (character level doesn't matter, but character must be able to equip it) to drop, i suspect, but I haven't gotten it so far, so no way to be sure. The toy needs lv60 to be learned/used though, not sure if it will drop on characters lower lv60...
So, go for it with every toon you got (at least lv60 and higher), if you want that stuff. :)

Commento di Reflex

Just killed him for the first time on my warrior and got the guitar, head and the toy! Forgot to take a screenshot of the chat while reacieving the loot though...
but I can take a screenshot of the guild news where it says recieved loot!

Commento di Lostelf

I take it the helms and such only drop for level 60 plus characters? Asking because I'm not subbed so I can only do this on level 20 characters.

Commento di NinjaLooterLoveU

No one is showing up. On Sunday! Primetime. Please. Place is dead.

Maybe make a cute band for Alliance. Justin Beiber does Teletubbies?

Commento di DukeNukemANI07

Unless you got ALOT of gold to cover repair costs, don't waste your time with this guy... Drops alot of grey vendor trash and repair costs can be more than the value of dropped loot.

Commento di Tryllagain

I'm having trouble staying alive as a frost mage during the encounter.

DMK is slowly (well not so slowly really) killing me with is 'Cold as Ice' ability. Even though I am mitigating as much as I can with Ice barrier and health potions I'm not able to stay alive the whole encounter.

That makes it hard to reach "number one fan" and get the subsequent achievements.

Any tips?

Commento di Zaerog

Question:
Can you farm this guy by simply creating a new lvl 100 character with a class trial (without buying the boost), hearth back and go to Darkmoon Faire to kill him for xmogs?
I did that 5 times in a row now (with a fresh character each and deleting them after) but only got trash on each. Might be bad luck but if anyone knows a definite answer, that'd be great.
Also yes each char has the flag set as false and true after the kill.

Commento di Wimbleton

Unless you are a self-healing class, you're SOL on this one. The only way I've been able to get it done on a non-self-healer without multiple deaths is to tag him when he first shows up, do some damage, run out of the cave until you are beyond the range of his "Cold as Ice" (39,102 frost damage per tick at level 110) and you'll get a notice when you're there (or watch your combat log). You can read his health because he's still targeted, throw a bandage on (mine are the usual 20-minute timer kind, i.e. useless in any combat situation - working as intended) and wait until the self-healers have brought him down to a level where you can go in and finish. If you are a self-healer, this is easy and amusing. Bright Boar Microphone is sort of fun I guess....

Commento di Anais777

Hi guys. Just wanting to confirm that you cannot get these epics to drop on any character below lvl 60.
So farming with fresh alt, although the knight scales all the way down so even a lvl 1-2 can fight him, is unfortunately not possible.

Commento di Spookymomma

I searched for a group today, none available. Crazy, then i noticed it listed as "Deth Medal night" Come on people, really? If you can't spell the name right for a LFG please don't start the group.

Commento di gbomb

Fixed coords: /way 63.5, 66.5
It is to the east of the fair, cave with a bunch of undead hanging out. Follow the path with blue torches.
Posted coords again because they are all the way at the bottom and by the time i found how to get there the party was over.
Starts at every hour on the half hour.
Stick around after the fight to get an achieve Ehi, sei una vera rockstar!
Buy some dance sticks from the vendor because you leave cool trails when you run or ride.
ps. i got the 880 plate hat which is cool, 110 dk

Commento di Bananasaurus

Anyone know how to fight this guy's wall of banshees and AOEs that chip away at my health no matter what I do? I've fought him on my pally using my tank AND dps gear, as well as my hunter using long range pet commands AND up close, and no matter what, I keep dying to either the second-third wave of banshees, or the long-distance AOE damage.

I know I'm just a filthy casual, but I'd like to see a bit of a guide for how to do this fight without dying miserably. Are the banshees dodgable? Am I supposed to get up on the stage? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Commento di westomopresto

You are eligible for the Helms / Guitar & Microphone at level 60+

Commento di emmaworld

You are not eligible to receive any loot when your opposite faction players own him in Pre-BFA. Just like old times. I guess it's a bug.

Commento di Tomkin

Anyone can pull and make him despawn with feign death/shadowmeld/etc, pretty bad design tbh.

Commento di behemoth403

here is picture proof u can get the mace on a level 60 I just got it

Commento di mimicron

Seems like Blizzard's idea of making encounters no longer more difficult than intended(Darkmoon Faire hotfix at August 10, 2018) involves making boss (but not spawned ghouls) unbeatable by low-level characters.
But level 120 seem to be able to solo it.

Commento di SleepyCloud

I've been trying to do this event for the past 4 hours. I'm on the Alliance and every single time there were only horde players. The last one I tagged the Death Metal Knight and when he was at 30%~ I got killed and lost the tag.

Why is the tag on this one not cross-faction? This is so stupid.

Commento di AngryTatertot

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But I've been trying for months and this helm will not drop.

Commento di Melilithia

There seems to have been a stealth nerf to his AoE and Banshee Wall damage as of BFA.

Commento di Gruvaahl

8.2.5
I have soloed him with a 72 Blood DK. No rare loot for the first kill.

Commento di seiretsym

For some reason he isn't spawning, anyone have an idea what's wrong? I'm on a mid-90s level character. The concert npcs don't even spawn. The guy says it's 1 minute till the concert and some fans rush in, but no concert ever happens (like, the band does not appear), and no death metal knight.

Commento di Elitecookie

For those with the problem with cross-factions not sharing the kill. Turn off Warmode.

Commento di Fooysari

Does anyone know what song is playing during the concert and what band it is in real life? I’m looking for a download for that song.

Commento di noglue

new macro to check:

/dump C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(47767)

Commento di Rulyuan

He's level 62 with 3300k hp now. I soloed him on a ret pally, and got some gray vendor trash for about 100g. It looks like there's a chance for purple back in BfA, so I highly suspect the same right now -- maybe ilvl 183 ish?
It's worth a try.

Commento di Sakari420

The lowest level seems to be lvl 25 for the helm/toy/2h just wanted to let other altoholic farmers know.

will also add the whole one try; per alt, per month, for the helm/toy/2h as mentioned in other comments
can keep getting the greys(which some do sell well)

i was running it this month(dec/2020) on some late teen/early 20s and realized when i ran the macro to check (SL working macro at bottom) it still pinged as false..at first i thought i miss remembered. So killed him again then realized i had prior loot in my bags too. so then got to testing across the alts and it didnt ping complete unless it was on a 25 or higher. even did it at lvl 24 cause didnt quite make it to 25 in time, had a feeling that was the req; but wanted to be 100% so went back anyway.

Commento di Lafeoverde

I have seen way too many toons run away from this when they see what level their fellow toons in it are. Just now there were four of us; we could have done it easily, but two ran away.This is a mistake on their part. This encounter scales for every toon. I have seen a level 10 hold their own against him. Don't chicken out if your fellow toons are low level! They can fight him just as well as you can!

Commento di Lafeoverde

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! DO NOT USE INTERRUPTS ON HIM!

Commento di frakbt

Logged in at 15:29 ET at cave entrance. No Blight Boar announcement, and the event never started. Left at 15:40.

Commento di Xadrakan

As of 9.2.5 (7 June 2022), the Banshee Wall is only visible when placing the camera at certain angles, making it very difficult to avoid them and achieving high scores during the event.

Commento di Dutchmang

For those who care, first week of Dragonflight:
For me @ level 63, this guy was 65. I didn't get any loot, but I can check other toons.

small update: on a level 64 toon, ilvl 260 helm dropped.

Commento di unlucky13

It just failed to spawn for my server, a few of us were left confused after the "one minute left" announcement.

This was during the first week of Dragonflight.

Commento di alpanhell

There must be some info here missing or I just completely got it wrong.

He goes in the cave, he becomes targetable. I was outside the cave, I targeted him and hit him and he runs out and despawns.

What happened?

Commento di Masterhene

didnt spawn for some reason.
Jay Maguire yelled that the event would start in 1 minute, but its been like 20 minutes already & no spawn. Some metal fan npc's did run into the arena at 16:30 tho.

Commento di Spose

The event starts once an hour, every .30 of the hour. Meaning 11:30, 12:30, 13:30 e.t.c.
