A World of Warcraft quest in Revendreth. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I arrived at the stake but another player was already attacking the bat. As mentioned in another comment, I couldn't click the stake so I just waited (without attacking the bat myself). When the other player captured the bat, the quest completed for me, too, without lifting a finger.
You may not be able to interact with the stake if somebody else is currently trying to capture the Duskterror.
Note that binding Houndmaster Loksey to the stake is optional and you will get quest credit for simply attacking the Duskterror until it has been captured.

What to do
Description
Dredbats are quite useful to us. We make them just like stoneborn, but they lack their same... intelligence. With very little direction, they strike fear into stubborn souls' hearts. With the anima drought, our dominion over them has waned. One, Duskterror, has wreaked the most havoc. This presents us with an opportunity. Take this soul and draw her in. When she's weak, we can capture her for our own purposes.
