Downloads

Bleakhold needs a WoW 3.3.5a (12340) client plus these patches. Put each file in the folder shown, then delete the Cache folder once.

Patched Wow.exe required. The new races change the character screen, so the game needs St0ny's EXE Patcher: put patcher.bat and apply_patches.ps1 next to Wow.exe, run patcher.bat, press R and Enter, then type 41 and Enter (needed for the Monk class; ignore its warning, it is allowed on Bleakhold), then Enter and Y. Without it the game says the interface files are corrupt or crashes on the character screen.

Required patches

Use the enGB files if your client has a Data\enGB folder, the enUS files if it has Data\enUS.

patch-enGB-5.MPQ / enUSWing & dragonhawk spellsData\enGB\ or Data\enUS\

Optional

Patch-W.MPQOptional: better waterData\
Do not install other client patches (old HD packs, druid-form mods, extra patch-7 / patch-8 files from client downloads). They replace Bleakhold's data and break custom content.

Bleakhold HD (optional)

Project Reforged's HD models, spell effects, sounds and maps, made compatible with Bleakhold. Only for players who want it; nothing changes for anyone else.

  1. Install the required patches above first.
  2. From the Project Reforged downloads get: patch-A (HD Character Models), patch-C, patch-M, patch-P, patch-S (Standard). Optional: patch-G, patch-I, patch-N, patch-U, and patch-B + patch-D + patch-E together.
  3. Make a folder named Reforged next to Wow.exe and put the Reforged files there. Not in Data: their names clash with ours.
  4. Download Bleakhold-HD.zip, unzip it into your WoW folder and run Bleakhold-HD\Install-Bleakhold-HD.bat.
  5. The patched Wow.exe from the top of this page (St0ny's patcher, preset R) is all Bleakhold HD needs. Never enable patches marked [unsafe].
