What to do

StorylineWinterspring, step 39 of 54
RewardsHell-Hoot Barbecue, Gloves of the Infernal Nocturnal, Hell-Hoot Mantle, 21g, 6,200 XP

Description

Local legend tells of a mighty owl that circles the mountaintops like death on wings. They named her Deathwing. Soon afterwards, they were told that that name was already taken. So they settled on a moniker that evoked a similar sense of horror and dread: Hell-Hoot. Hell-Hoot can be found atop the mountain to the southwest of our smoking pit. Silence the infernal nocturnal... so we can eat her!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • UrsiusWinterspring · Level 15-30

    I've heard it said that you are what you eat. I don't know if I believe that, but if it's true... I'd prefer to eat the strongest creature that I can find. Ursius is the largest bear in Winterspring. He eats first when his pack of shardtooth brings down a chimaera or an owlbear.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shy-RotamWinterspring · Level 15-30

    Time for the big kill, pal! Shy-Rotam lurks in the north, the largest frostsaber of them all. You should feel honored. There's no fiercer game for a hunter to match their skills against...
