Description

Basilisk is one of Nisha's favorite meals. This is where she hunts, and that's likely how those Iron Horde bastards were able to capture her. Why would they go to the trouble to subdue her this way? Perhaps together, you and I might learn the answer as we punish them for their transgressions. For now, Nisha's going to need some food. While I tend to her, will you do her hunting for 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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On the MendGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Nisha will heal. This ordeal has taken a toll on her. She needs water and rest. I will bring her to my camp and make her comfortable. Will you meet us there with some fresh water?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Is This One of Yours?Gorgrond · Level 15-40

    I found this one skulking nearby. She claims to be an ally of yours. Is this true? Or does she cook slowly over my fire?
