TheWoWDBAfter picking up this quest I decided to take a break for a while. I hearthed back to Dalaran and then took the flight path back. When I tried to go to the area marked for the quest (where Elothir is) I couldn't talk to him. I went back to where I picked it up and saw Tyrande Whisperwind standing in the cave but I couldn't do anything to trigger the quest. After abandoning and picking the quest back up, I was able to finish.

Tyrande will lead the way, so just ride close and listen to her monologue. Also, when you starts she yells "Let,s make haste", but then walks like a snail. 10/10.
P.S. She will run like a wind...for few seconds before quest ends. Not bad.Heart of the Nightmare — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4wPg4eUHrs
I had trouble completing this on my druid. I turned into a bird after accepting the quest and Tyrande just despawned. I had to abandon it and start over and make sure to stay on the ground to keep her there. After starting down the path she didn't seem prone to despawning even if I left the ground.

I know only that my husband is somewhere deeper in this twisted forest. He is still alive, but it remains to be seen if he is whole. <Tyrande's expression hardens into a scowl.> Elune herself cannot protect Xavius if he is not.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Regroup at the Refuge
I cannot think clearly in this place. Even though the moonwell is still pure, the corrupting influence of the Nightmare remains. Come, we will return to the refuge and gather our wits. Then we will continue the hunt for my husband.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reading the Leaves
<name>, my friend. You must succeed where I have failed. You must find our dear Malfurion. As the Nightmare consumes my thoughts, I hear the voices of these twisted trees. I must cling to sanity long enough to aid you.
