Kill Outgrowths in the rivers of the same area where the quest giver is (The Overgrowth in Southern Barrens). Once you've killed the Outgrowth, tentacles will come out of the ground, they are yellow and will not attack you. You don't HAVE to kill them, they don't drop the Squirming Heart that you need for the quest, but you can if you want to.The Outgrowths will drop the heart, just keep killing them. I got mine on the 3rd kill.

Description

If I have truly sown chaos, it is time for reaping. The lumbering outgrowths of plant life shamble through the imbued stream here, {name}. They are a direct manifestation of the unstable forces mutating this area. Slay as many as you can, and we might be able to slow the spread of the overgrowth further. And while you're at it...be on the lookout for parts of them that appear especially corrupted. Bring any such pieces to me.

Where to go

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.

  • Sowing a SolutionSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Based on what you've brought me, I think we may have a solution. I've imbued the lashvine seeds with healing energies. Simple contact with these should imbue the creatures here with enough energy to force out the corrupted influence.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Nightmare ScarSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    This confirms it. The overgrowth here is not being caused by a mere overabundance of energy. Do you understand? This is beyond what happened at the Wailing Caverns now. A rift into the Nightmare must have torn open in the middle of the very land we're standing on! And to think it's my fault...
