Breaking Out is Hard to Do

Breaking Out is Hard to Do is an Alliance-only quest for level 7-30 in Redridge Mountains. It is step 11 of 31 in the Redridge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Redridge Mountains at 47.5, 42.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

The key to this cage is stored in a pouch over at the worg den, just north of our location. The problem is that the pouch is resting safely atop a tree stump amidst a sea of bloodthirsty man-killing worgs.

You've got one shot to get that key without waking up any of those sleeping worgs. Head to the worg den and find a way into the center. Tread carefully and watch out for the Blackrock worg captain. Get the key and return to me.

If you got a pet, I'd recommend telling it to stay back!

Quest title is a reference to oldie goldie Breaking up is hard to do by Neil Sedaka.
The fact that this had not been mentioned earlier was quite shocking, but then again, I guess most WoW players don't listen to music from the fifties.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Search of Bravo CompanyRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    If you and Keeshan are going to defend Lakeshire, we're going to need to find his old battalion. Last I heard all of 'em - Messner, Jorgensen, Krakauer and Danforth - were captured by the Blackrock orcs.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • JorgensenRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    I don't know where Krakauer or Danforth are, but Jorgensen was being held at Render's Camp, northwest of here. I was in the same crap filled cage with him before they relocated me to Alther's Mill. If we're gonna get him out we'll need the key.
