Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Free a Red Drake within Grim Batol and use it to destroy 30 Troggs and 15 Twilight's Hammer minions.

Objective by objective

The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.

The quest giver's words

At last, reinforcements! I'm so glad you're here. We never imagined just how entrenched the Twilight's Hammer forces are. And there are so many!

Several of our drakes have been captured just inside the main hall. Please, break their bonds and free them.

Once free, together we can scourge these halls clean with flame. Just climb aboard a red drake and call out your targets. You will definitely want to cut down the enemy numbers before delving deeper into the ruins.

Progress

Did you find our wounded drakes? Were they able to help?

Completion

This is great news, <name>! I'm glad our drakes were able to assist you. Thank you for rescuing them from the clutches of the Twilight's Hammer.

Category: Grim Batol (Dungeon).

These two markers are the quest giver's and the hand-in's own positions – not where anybody was standing. The recorded positions are further down, under the community data.


What players recorded

Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.

Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.

  • Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route

An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Grim Batol), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
