Follow the squirrel (Nika) that you let out of the cage. If you don't follow it, you will not get credit for finding Kivarr. Do not head straight for the quest turn in, follow the squirrel with the green arrow over it's head!

Really wish blizzard would stop designing quests like this where they put a tiny green arrow over a tiny, glowing blue squirrel who walks around in grass just to spam the same message over and over only to find out that you have to spend 10 minutes following it before you can move on with the quest. Quit wasting our game time blizzard, thanks.

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.

  • The Thornspeaker CaptiveArdenweald · Level 60

    Good to know the old bear hasn't forgotten me. Unfortunately, neither have the Drust. I was enjoying a peaceful afterlife before they showed up. Do not bother trying to force open this cage. You can only unlock it with three separate keys, and each one is held by a different Drust commander.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the DenArdenweald · Level 60

    There may be a way to break the curse and free your friend's mind, but it will require some work. Ulfar was wise to send you to me. He knew that a portion of Gorak Tul's power would be necessary, but the other reagents we need do not exist on Azeroth. My den is not far from here.

The storyline at a glance

Drust to Drust has 17 steps, from The Fate of Ara'lon to Unbroken Bonds.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Ardenweald (15), Drustvar (2).
