The antidote is an insta-cast item. So just walk up to a hulking helboar, say hi, shove the anti dote thru his throat.

And then just watch him grow and get stronger. Of course this will leave you no choice but to kill him, which will complete the quest.

So dont try to chain nova him as a frost mage ( like i did ) for 45 seconds, rather just click the anti dote, kill the boar, walk back to misses Redmane and claim your reward

Description

I think there's something we can use in the blood as the base of an antidote. Don't look at me like I've lost my mind! It's a common theme in nature. Often, the cure for something can be derived from the toxin itself. That's just what I aim to do. Ridding the boars of their demonic influence would probably eliminate their aggression and give us insight into how to best attempt to help other species.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Demonic ContaminationHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    Welcome to the Cenarion Post, <class>. We don't often get company out here, but I'm grateful for the visit. My work with the creatures of this desolate land requires me to travel to many remote places.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keep Thornfang Hill Clear!Hellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    We've been fighting an ongoing battle to keep the pass through Thornfang Hill to the west clear of ravagers. It would be bad if we were to become completely cut off from the refuge in Zangarmarsh.
