A Curse We Cannot Lift

A Curse We Cannot Lift is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Duskwood. It is step 30 of 42 in the Duskwood storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Duskwood at 18.3, 57.7. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

What we do here is not a cure. The transformation cannot be removed once inflicted. But the mind...

The mind can be restored, through alchemy, if enough is left intact. This worgen you've encountered sounds like he's fighting to stay aware, <name>. We've got to find him again.

If he's fled the Yorgen Stead, search the Addle Stead to the south; he may be lurking in one of the buildings.

Inject him with this ampule to tranquilize him. You'll need to be quite close.

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.

  • Delivery to Master HarrisDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Master Harris will want to know of this immediately. Here, take this package of corpseweed down the road to the camp at Raven Hill. Tell him what we saw at the Yorgen Stead.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cry For The MoonDuskwood · Level 10-30

    I'm hopeful, but let's remain professional. It's business as usual for this one. Into the guillotine he goes... and if the alchemy doesn't take, he won't be getting back out of it. Jitters and I will attend to this. Please, just stand back and watch from a safe distance.
