TheWoWDBNot sure if this is a scaling issue, but this was painfully slow. I took about twenty minutes just spamming the same button.

The last objective is at the lower end of the cavern so you can save some time by not going all the way up.

Description
Oenia Skyhorn was a legendary chieftain of her tribe. Though she crossed over to the spirit realm long ago, her presence is still felt all around us. Ebonhorn told me that Oenia placed a ward here to protect the people she cared for so deeply... perhaps from the specter of the Darkness. Use the Water of Vision to journey into her echoes. Worry not that this ritual might disturb her rest. A hero like Oenia would relish a chance to aid us in the present.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Walking in Their Footsteps
Spiritwalkers maintain balance between the world of the living and the spirit realm. We can travel into the memories of the dead to glean clues about the past. The wards Ebonhorn maintained were placed long ago by heroes who fought the darkness.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Servants of the Darkness
The heroes of Highmountain's past placed wards to protect our land from the insidious Old Gods. The deeds of these noble champions kept us safe for thousands of years. We must not fail their memory. Huln Highmountain himself placed the ward here at Snowblind Mesa.
