A Bitter Pill

A Bitter Pill is a quest for level 32-35. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

As far as I'm concerned, there's no problem that can't be solved with bombs. And if a bomb doesn't solve your problem on the first try... use a bigger bomb.

So there's this big worm that's been eating people near the lava pools up north. Search for breath bubbles to find it. Attack it until it prepares to bite, then place this bomb down in front of it. Then sit back and watch the fireworks.

Hmm... there was one other thing I wanted to say... oh yeah! Don't get eaten.

You need to click on the bubbles in order to summon the worm, and then when you get the message "the lava worm is going to bite" put the bomb down. It wasn't obvious to me that you need to click the bubble, especially as the click icon only comes on some parts of the bubbles

If you are level 60 (or higher, in Shadowlands and beyond), you don't need to use any fancy stuff with bombs and pills. Just kill the worm

I find the best thing to do is get in the lava and be right next to the worm so he can't get the lava shower on me and helps me stay out of the way of the Behemoth.Then run out to the blue arrow when it lights up. The lava does surprisingly little damage. This worked on my mage.
