This item can only be used in certain areas. If you complete a quest where you must use the item to communicate with Cho, you should stay in the area of the quest before moving on to do something else.

I had several other quests in the same general area. I moved on to do something else and then started looking around to try to turn in quests that required invoking the Tongue of Ba-Shon. I got a message about not being in the right zone. There are several quests in this chain that require you use the item, complete one and pick up next in the chain.

I got stuck with the Tongue of Ba-Shon in my bag as well with several messages telling me I was in the wrong zone. I finally went back to the Valley of Emperors and was able to call Lorewalker Cho and turn in the "rubbings" I had in my bag as well. Then I was able to move on.

Comment by InsaneHacker

Interestingly, the quest tooltips say "Lorekeeper Cho" instead of Lorewalker Cho, is this a bug or am i missing something?

EDIT: To people complaining that this has nothing to do with how to complete the quest, at least it's something related to the game, i'm just trying to point out a potential mistake that blizzard has made, nothing more. I don't see people complaining when comments about references to TV shows and such fills the comment section.

Lorewalker Cho (after finishing his trance): "All done. Did I miss anything?"

Nope, not a thing.

Comment by Driva

Right after punching Ba-Shon in the face, but before turning in the quest to Lorewalker Cho I saw a rope on the ground and thought, "Hey, what's this?" If you are as forgetful as me, I recommend you suppress your curiosity, since it starts the end cinematics for Path of the Last Emperor and makes Lorewalker Cho disappear. If you leave Seeker's Point and come back however, he will be waiting there for you again.

I'm sure there's no rope on the ground if you haven't completed that quest.

Comment by instruisto

To use the tongue and start the quest:
1. Make sure you have the Torn Page and Tongue of Bashan in your bags.
2. Journey to One-Keg (use flight path or go to 57:59). If you can fly yourself skip this step.
3. Go up Howlingwind Trail to the Valley of Emperors (57:49). You may stand between the pillars to avoid the Tormented Spirits.
4. Use the Tongue of Bashan (right-click in your bag).
5. Right-click the Image of Lorewalker Cho.
6. Click "continue."
7. Click "conplete quest."
8. Accept the quest offered, if you wish.

Comment by Elle7

FYI hunters out there....the 2 quilen spawned by the NPC you have to kill (Reclaimer Zuan) are tamable and beautiful! One is white with purple (Yachi) and the other one is red with blue (Yao). I tamed both of them by abandoning the quest and re-taking it :)
Happy taming! :)

Comment by Orkinman

I killed Zuan, Cho said "Did I miss anything?" and I couldn't turn the qst in. No yellow question mark.

Comment by FlasKamel

Is this broken in Remix? Stand absolutely no chance

Comment by Shylahh

Whoa, I tried a bunch, died a bunch. While waiting to resurrect a DH came by and killed him FAST. I got credit when I came back to life. Thanks random DH!

Comment by Shashos

So stupidly broken in Remix. I had zero problems killing him at a lower level on a hunter alt. Now at 67, still a hunter, I can't do it. The scaling is stupidly awful. I can't interrupt his Wild Magics and he just destroys me and both my pets. I tried getting as far from him as possible to avoid him casting at me. Doesn't matter. His range is too far.

Edit: And of course, a level 54 paladin comes over and just shuts him down. I managed to complete it with their help. Blizz, if you do this remix stuff again, Please, please fix the scaling at 60-70.

The Tongue of Ba-Shon

Assist Lorekeeper Cho in performing the Binding of Ba-Shon.

	Tongue of Ba-Shon Bound (1)

Description

Thank you for coming, $p. I am sorry to have been so cryptic, but I could not risk alerting the mogu to my work here.

They are seeking something in the valley. Plundering the tombs of their old kings for relics of power.

I could not observe them long before having to flee, but I did manage to recover a relic of my own.

The Tongue of Ba-Shon will let us communicate securely over long distances, but only after I have bound it to myself.

I think I'm ready to begin, if you are.
