If you can't get the Mist Horror to spawn here's the solution:

1. First leave the zone and come back

2. When you enter the area with the Mist Creepers you should get a buff and the edges of your screen should glow orange. If not, disable all your addons and repeat step 1.

3. There are sections of orange cloud that can be right clicked (your cursor should change and have an orange border). Right click one of these cloud nodes and the Mist Horror should spawn.

"This appears to be a known issue at the moment and our QA department is looking into it. For now, once you have killed the 8 required Mist Creepers, leave the Amberfly Bog area then go back.

Once you enter the Amberfly Bog area again you'll have the Gathering Mist buff which will allow you to see and interact with the Inconspicuous Mist and summon the Mist Horror to complete the quest."

Blue post by Vrakthris. This worked for me.

If you are having trouble locating the Mist Horror here's what you need to do.

Hearth or leave the zone.
Come back into the zone and you should get the quest buff "Gathering Mist".
Kill the 8 Creepers and then the Horror will spawn.

** Steps for if you have already killed the 8 Creepers WITHOUT the buff**

Hearth or leave the zone
Come back into the zone and you should get the quest buff "Gathering Mist".
Kill 1 Creeper which should then immediately spawn the Horror.
Drop Horror.
?
Profit.

Hope this helps.

Description

To make the Dream Brew, we will need several ingredients. First, to improve its strength, I will need an ingredient from a fearsome creature, the legendary Mist Horror. It is said that this creature only appears where the fog is deepest. North and east of here, you will find smaller Mist Creepers roaming the swamps. Kill these creatures until the Mist Horror appears, and then bring me its heart.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Visit with Lorewalker ChoThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    Stranger, I may be able to help you find your prince. But first, I would like to know a little more about you and your people. Come, help me with my chores, and we will chat.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • BodyThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    A brew's body is an important and often overlooked factor. To create the perfect consistency, I will need pristine eyes from the Bog Crocolisks to the east. Take care. The creatures are quite vicious.
