As you are escorting the robot chicken to its desination, you will encounter three group spawns of mobs that occur due to the quest.
The first spawn consists of three yetis, and you shall encounter them just north of the cave you found the robot in.
The second spawn consits of three gorillas, and you will encounter them just after turning north on the main path.
You will encounter a third group consisting of four or five furbolgs where the road forks after you cross a stone bridge near a waterfall.

This is a very frustrating escort. At every chance the chicken will continue while fighting the mobs. Quest failed.... I suggest raid marking it, for some extra ease.

Comment by 27948

I tried to solo this one, made it through the first mob fine. At the second mob the chicken b-lined it through the mob and i had a bit of a problem. Bottom line I'd suggest doing this with at least 1 other person, makes life a lot easier, is doable solo but you'll have to be a top notch player in my opinion. Fun Quest none the less :D

Comment by Icemelt

If you are having trouble completing this quest due to the escort running off, here is the problem and solution:

Problem~
As with many things in wow, Blizzard did not test this quest using all classes and skill levels. Being an escort quest, we naturally want to keep the escort alive. If you are taking all the agro from the chicken, like using an AoE or multishot, the chicken will not know it is combat due to the fact that it has not been "hit" or damaged.

Solution~
Let the little bastard take some damage. Make sure you are in the area of the mobs AND the chicken. If you have a pet, put it on passive then TAKE the agro from the chicken. It will continue to fight for you and not run away. It will NOT however tell our friends at Blizzard to fix the problem. Submit a game ticket so the developers will pay attention to the detail that makes or breaks this game.

Comment by raymix

i think they made this Quest like that, just for pure fun.
think again, that chicken is only a braindead robot, does whatever it's programmed to, so maybe its not a bug at all :)

Comment by Thottbot

If the chicken is not moving then likely someone else is already working on the escort quest. This can take 15 to 30 mins to complete...

When you do get the chicken to start moving he'll head out of the cave and up towards the road.

Before you reach the road, the chicken will cry out a "Spatial anomaly" warning and three Yetis will appear and attack it.

After this fight the chicken will continue (without a break I might add) and start walking west along the road. About halfway(?) to the shore you'll get another warning and get attacked by 3 gorillas.

Once you turn left off the road, towards the shore there is a final swarm attack - 4 gnolls come to whack you.

Once you finally get to the beach the quest will complete and you'll need to head to Booty Bay to collect your reward. :)

This is a very tough quest to solo. On the other hand I did it twice as a 47 Shammy with a 44 Hunter friend and it was a piece of cake. Good luck!

There are two other "chicken" quests, one in Tanaris https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=4508/blood-tinged-armor and one in Hinterlands https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=4730/deprecated-prospectors-pick
After you do all three quests there is a special reward from Oglethorpe Obnoticus (sp?)

Comment by Thottbot

Get some help with this...definitely not solo-able

He stops 3 times to warn of impending attacks...3-4 mobs lvl 42-44 come at each stop.
Besides that, kill mobs along the way, get exp

me (46 warr) and a 48 rogue had no problem. Only thing is we did have to do twice...once per person completing

Edit: Forgot, had to do 3 times...got ganked by horde...look out for em

Comment by Thottbot

Someone above did a great job detailing what happens . . . I did this with a solo 47th lvl, well equipped (no puns) rogue with a couple potion buffs and poison on both blades - it was still tough and I needed a healing potion. The 4 gnolls at the end will take most sub 50 lvl chrs to the edge . . . so, be prepped to throw down hard and good luck.

BTW: As a rule 'escort' quests suck.

Comment by Thottbot

I have tried these quests on two different servers, and have finally been able go do all three with my latest character!

I did the Tanaris quest no problem, then tried to do the Feralas quest, but the chicken wouldn't move, and I thought I was hosed again. Later I did the Hinterlands quest (no problem). A few days later I came back to Feralas and thought, just for laughs, I would check the chicken, and it worked!

I haven't turned in the last quest at Oglethorpe yet, but I got the all three chickens rescued.

Here's something I noticed - I first went to each chicken and completed the "found" quest. Each chicken is really two quests, the first to find it and the second to escort it. I noticed that for the two that I was able to later escort, the chicken was lying down when I clicked it to take the quest. However, the Feralas chicken was standing up when I clicked it for the escort quest, and it would not move after I took the quest. I abandoned and retried the quest several times, and no luck. But then, when I came back in a few days, the chicken was lying down, and when I accepted the quest, it jumped up and started moving. I don't know if that is meaningful at all.

For what it's worth, I don't buy the whole "the chicken is busy because someone else is currently doing the quest" idea. I always ran to look along the route when the chicken wouldn't move, and there was never anybody doing the quest.

Comment by Thottbot

What I did for Feralas and Hinterlands (for Tanaris I had help) to do them solo as a 50 Druid was:

1) Clear out the first set of creatures on the route - slimes for Hinterlands, yetis for Feralas.

2) Follow the chicken stealthed if possible, or if not, don't let any creatures aggro on YOU. If they aggro on the chicken, and the chicken keeps walking, don't interfere. The chicken will walk away unhurt eventually, but if the creature aggro's on you, the chicken will either help out (and maybe get killed), or walk too far away from you and the quest will fail.

3) When the chicken detects an ambush, RUN OUT IN FRONT and aggro ALL of the ambush creatures, and anything else in the chicken's path! Run down the path pulling the creatures with you, and eventually they will give up and run back to the ambush point. The trick is that now the chicken will have walked far enough past the ambush point that the creatures won't see it, and you get away clean! Be sure not to run too fast and get too far away from the chicken (and the quest fails), but also be sure to run fast enough that the chicken doesn't aggro one of the creatures onto itself! It's kind of a balancing act.

4) Try again and again after you fail. You will get better at it.

5) If you are about to try it solo, go ahead and tell the General channel that you are going to try the chicken escort, and please if anyone is on the path, could they hang out and help kill the ambushes, or even come run interference? I know that if I hear you, I am going to help out, because I know what a bear these quests are.

Comment by Thottbot

I completed this as a level 46 priest, but it was REALLY hard.

If you are going to solo, follow Connery's advise, it works. Especially if you have a nice mass fear spell ^^.

I must say I remade this quest alot of times. Although I had no problems beating 3 level 45 mobs (Yetis at start), but a bear kept interfearing. ALWAYS clear the path the chicken is going to walk, even if you are not going to solo, facing 5+ mobs can still be a real pain.

About the "Chicken doesnt move" thing. Though i remade this quest alot of times, it never got stuck... hooray for the dragonmaw server ^^.

Comment by Thottbot

I soloed it as a 48 Paladin. It wasn't easy, but it was far from hard. Like someone else said, it's 3 Yeti, then 3 Gorillas, then 4 Gnolls. All of them between 41 and 44.

Comment by Thottbot

From what I've seen, if the chicken is standing, you can't do the quest. If it's lying down, you can.

Anyway, I soloed this with my 46 Priest. I cleared out the cave leading up to the chicken and then just followed him at a distance. If he fought, I fought, otherwise I just followed. Someone in a post above described it correctly I believe, you will face 3 Yetis, 3 Gorillas, and 4 Gnolls.

The Gorillas gave me problems, but I took out the others easily. I used SW:Pain on all of them, mind blasted one, then did a Fear...which gave me time to drink a healing pot. When they came back, their life pool was already close to halfway drained and I was able to finish them off.

Comment by Thottbot

to be a little more specific than coordinates 28, 76 (cause I wasted alot of time chasing that little dot) the easiet way to find this guy is when you get to First Mate Crazz (on the main dock) stop, face the buildings behind him and look up...Oglethorpe is in the hut directly above him...just take the ramp up there...hope this info makes this quest less "Obnoxious"!

On another note glad to report that quest worked fine and there was a "?" above Oglethorpe's head.

Comment by Thottbot

Just finished the quest 13-5-06 lvl 56 rogue. Tried different combinations and here is the facts:

After entering the first part of the cave clear it by killing the 2 yetis inside. The robot is surrounded by up to 3 yetis which are kind of scattered so you can kill them one by one.

Waking up the robot will make it move using a route that will attract 2 more yetis. Kill them fast since 3 more will spawn. Supposing you kill the first spawn the robot will continue not pulling any more aggro for the time being.

Moments later it will detect threat which is basically 3 monkeys that will jump you. If youre rogue and stealthed cheap shot one and pull aggro from another because the robot will not handle two mobs. Done? now is the good part.

Bandage fast and follow the robot. After the bridge it will stop again and will be jumped by 4 alphas. The alphas have a healer with them so take him out fast. They also tend to run away when at low hp so guard the robot because it tends to hunt them down. After that you re done and the escort completes itself with the robot vanishing.

This quest is good for all classes that can crowd control or pull aggro and tank it. Will be a bugger for rogues and its certainly not a lvl 45 quest. Reward is pretty decent for a rogue sux for all other classes.

Comment by Thottbot

Did this quest Solo as a 46 Priest Disc. Spec.
The first mob of LVL 47 yetis was no cake walk

The second mob of lvl 40-43 garillas wasnt bad and the 3rd mob of lvl 43 knolls. well they just sat there. they have been bugged on my server for weeks

Comment by Thottbot

I just escorted that damn chicken to the end. it vanished, told me to go to booty bay, went there to turn in quest, and the damn question mark is grey. it won't let me turn it in, even though my log says that it is finished. erghhh

Comment by Thottbot

Soloed it with ease as a 49 lock, but I can see other classes and/or lower levels having more trouble.

Comment by Thottbot

Soloed as a 45 shammy, though i have twink gear...

for the yetis, you can just skip them, once you exit the cave, stay to behind 20 yards and to the right 10 yards or so. The yetis will look like they will attack you but, theyll just be running around in circles after.

for the gorillas, let the chicken get aggro first, then dps the rest down as fast as you can... same thing with the gnolls at the end

Comment by Thottbot

lvl 46 hunter... i almost made it but when the 3 extra yeti's spawned a friggin bear agroed me and i couldnt heal my cat and it died then they agroed me and i died and then they agroed my chicken and it died T_T im kind of pisssed off so im going to just forget the stupid chicken exists, its a pain in the ass anyway and the quest rewards suck (for a hunter in its 40s anyway)

Comment by Thottbot

Pretty simple, just kited the first two waves around with Cone of Cold. For the third wave, got a bit creative. Sheeped the caster, so the other 3 aggroed on me, and the chicken kept walking. So, I ditched the 3 mobs (frost nova ftw), went far enough away to get OOC, got quest completed, and the wave followed me before despawning about halfway there.

Pretty satisfied overall =)

Comment by Thottbot

Yeah this quest is bugged, my chicken moved fine - but I cant turn in the quest...

no ?, nothing

Comment by Thottbot

soloed level forty five< hunter on third try!

Comment by Thottbot

Soloed as a 46 rogue. At the yetis, the chicken somehow aggroed a bear as well so I had to fight 4 mobs. Used Adrenaline Rush, Evasion and Blade Flurry. I was out of potions, so by the end (only a yeti and the bear left) I had REALLY low health. The chicken had near-full health, so I vanished, waited a while, used cheap shot on the yeti and killed him. The bear was level 41, so taking him down wasn't hard.
Didn't really have a problem with the gorillas. Blade Flurry and Evasion took care of it.
The gnolls took me by surprise so I didn't have crippling poison on my swords. When one of them ran at low health, I followed it like an idiot thinking the others would go after me. However, only two of them did, and the other started attacking the chicken. I attacked him, while the other two kept attacking me. Near the end I had to Vanish again, and the remaining two started attacking the chicken. I used cheap shot on one of them after gaining some of my health back, aggroing it, while the other kept attacking the chicken. When I killed it, the other one started targetting me. I managed to dodge a couple of its attacks and killed it with ~50 health left. Pretty tough quest.

Comment by Thottbot

2 tries, both times chicken disappeared on road and i failed the quest.. Without either chicken or me dying.

GG

Die oblethrope

Comment by Thottbot

Completed as a Troll Mage (Arcane/Fire, 16/21), at Level 46, by myself. AoE helps a lot, so do potions. If you can defeat the three yetis in the first wave (plus a possible bear add, it seems to always add no matter what if you don't clear that area before the quest start), then the rest of it should be a cakewalk for you.

Comment by Thottbot

The Whole of these qs seem a waste of time :D i may as well not do them....

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is still bugged! (horde)

I've been wating for 20+ min and still no movement, killed all the mobs around but won't do

Comment by Allakhazam

Still bugged as of today - I've tried everything and it's not moving...

Comment by Allakhazam

Bugged, bugged, bugged...

Chicken didn't move at all for me, not even on third try of dropping and reaccepting the quest. At first I thought it might have bugged because I was attacked just as I read the initial quest description, but when I mentioned it in guild chat another guy told me he had also had problems with the quest. Seems that it's either a realm-specific problem, as some people complain and others not, or just a random thing that happens when you accept it, in which case you just oughta keep trying. I for one am gonna try it a few more times, and then just drop it and move on. Heck, I've got better things to do than waiting for stupid chickens to move :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Even though it says its Alliance only i jsut did it as a Orc so its for bouth side.
did this quest as 44 Warlock and it wosent so hard .... before i start the eascort i cleared the way a bit put my Soul Stone and maid sure im full of mana and HP... i died only once cause after first wave of yety stuid chicken aggro a bear and i was low on mana and HP and without my VW so i rezzed afast and helpt kill that bear, used life tap then bandages then i summoned VW agan m,ount up[ and chased down the chicken use fear Death Coil and Howl of Terror to keep agrro off and put DOT on evryone that i could then wand to finish them off spetialy on third wave i have 4 gnols coming one of them was caster just DOT him and fear he is not coming back.
i am Affliction spected so that helped alot, and used Healtstone 2x so I hope this helps to other warlocks.

Comment by Allakhazam

4850 XP and a "great increase" in Booty Bay reputation.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just want to broadcast this wonderful quest. If you rescue all 3 chicken. You get 7100 bonus exp. true as is when i m lv 50. plus a mechanical chicken. dont pass up those distress beacon!

Comment by Allakhazam

Checking whether anyone else has that problem, tried doing it yesterday(april 5th) and the chicken didn't move a bit, no mobs appearing (except some normal respawning yetis) , no mob move.. quest bugged i think. Or do i miss something important? Any other prerequisites to get the damn bird going ?

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is for both horde and Alliance

Comment by Allakhazam

Yep, i tried todeay and its still bugged 4 horde char, finding it is possible, escort quest not, still : :

Comment by Allakhazam

I dont know what kind of crack ya'll are smoking, but I just did this escort quest. It is working fine.

Comment by Allakhazam

Also, since I'm Horde, this quest is NOT just for Alliance.

Comment by Allakhazam

Enter the cave at Titan coords 55,56.
You'll see the gold ? on the chicken before you exit the cave but he's at 53,55 if you really need his coords as well.
As a lvl 50 Hunter I got 3900 XP for finding the chicken, but after accepting the escort part of quest he wouldn't move.
Can't complain about 3900 XP :)

Comment by Allakhazam

I would like to know how a rogue protects himself against 3 mobs of the same level, let alone make sure a chicken with a less than desirable amount of HP doesn't die against them :) I was just looking for group members to do this and a 48 paladin said something about "You can't solo that? Then there's something wrong...", I doubt he's even done this quest to begin with. FFS, if you're soloing this in mid 40s chances are you'll fail miserably.

Comment by Allakhazam

Got to the chicken (29/07/05) and found the quest to still be bugged to hell. The little bugger wouldn't move. Will try again later =(

Comment by Allakhazam

Just tried this Quest on September 24th. The chicken would not follow. I guess it's still bugged.

Comment by Allakhazam

I had no problems with this quest...in fact when i turned it in at BB i got 4900 exp as a 43 lock, I am not complaining about that.

Comment by Allakhazam

this quest worked fine for me. I was carrying around the becon for a while though I had a full Quest log. but when I stumbled upon the chicken carcas I took the quest and escored the chiken and failed miserably. (45 lock hord). as a 46 lock I clears the tunnels quick and there is still a yellow ! above the chickens head... jsut accet the quest again no need for a new beacon. guided to the docks no probs just needed to use fear a lot and I stress a lot.

Comment by Allakhazam

An escort mission where you should have 3 low 40ish players to complete with ease. The bird is kinda quick so becareful not to loose ground.

The shoulders you get are nice for this quest lvl.
Upped my ac by 20. and added an extra 1 to my agility.
Btw its not only for Alliance its for Horde too.

Comment by Allakhazam

I had the beacon, attemted to solo this quest at 41 (Horribly failed) so I logged off and went to bed. Later, when I got a friend to help me, it turned out my distress beacon was gone and the damned chicken wont move... do I have to farm for the distress beacon again?

Comment by Allakhazam

Chicken wouldn't follow me today, on Draenor.

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed this quest as a 43 full bm specced hunter, was pretty easy actually(though i used 1 pot in the end).
the lvl required to do this quest is 40 not 43
the chiken can actually take quite some damage(tanked 1 mob for about 30 seconds and stil had about 30% hp left), make shure ur pet is agresive when the chicken warns u, makes it a lot les difficult

Comment by Allakhazam

still bugged as 1.5 patch
me and a 50 warlock both has the quest, the stupid "sitting chicken"... lol

Comment by Allakhazam

They're all working now. Just finished the third and final one. About to get my mechanical chicken now. I can't wait! ^_^ *I'm a small pet collector. ^_~ *

Comment by Allakhazam

perhaps they "fixed" this quest but its not easy as a rogue. The chicken runs right into the first set of yeti spawns and dies quickly. This cant be soloed currently at 46 as stated previously nor can it be soloed at 48.

Comment by Allakhazam

to echo a few posts below, tried this myself as 42 hunter on 4.18 and died immediately. did later w/ 2 lvl 47 druids and the three of us had no problem (we all got credit, didnt have to repeat 3 times). a few more spawns other than yeti on the way back: apes, gnolls, maybe one more i forget.

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is still bugged, patch 1.5 did not fix it.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just soloed this last night as a level 48 Warrior. Just wanted to see if I could do it solo and was barely able to.

First wave hits you just as you turn left from mouth of cave and start up hill to road. 3 yeti.

Next wave is 3 apes as you are heading down the path along the cliff.

Last wave comes as you turn left off path to head to docks. 4 gnolls, 1 was caster.

Comment by Allakhazam

Agree with the other rogue post. Myself and a druid in cat form just stealthed and the mobs all went right by us and the chicken.

Comment by Allakhazam

I was able to complete this quest on 8/4/05. Soloed as a 46 hunter, not easy, but doable with a tank pet. Make sure you get to the mobs first, then sic the pet on everything in the wave one by one, then assist the chicken and kill one at a time. Make sure you assist the chicken each time or else the mobs will kill it. Stand back and plink with arrows, and save your mana for healing your pet.

Comment by Allakhazam

What a horrible quest.

Not only is the bird buggy... but the quest is now impossible to turn in after completion.

Oglethorpe just simply wont let me turn in the quest, even though it's logged as completed.

Comment by Allakhazam

Quest isnt bugged anymore...

Comment by Allakhazam

I just did this solo as a lvl 51 Warrior, although it took almost every trick I had.

For tanks, the key is to keep a mob from attacking the chicken too long. So either hold the aggro yourself, if you can handle it, or use stuns and fear effects to stretch out the battle.

If the chicken doesn't stop, it doesn't know you're fighting. Bring the combat to the chicken, and he'll stop to help.

Finally, if you don't have any healing pots, as I didn't, just walk a little ahead of the chicken between battles and eat some food. Timing is critical, because if it gets too far ahead (or if you get too far ahead of it) the quest fails.

Comment by Allakhazam

I just soloed this as a 46 Rogue.

It's amazingly easy if you are in stealth mode when you escort the chicken. You'll have to fight some yetis on the way out of the cave but once you are clear go to stealth. The mobs that spawn can't catch the chicken, so it keeps running. If you are stealthed and they don't see or collide with you, then you can avoid having to fight them altogether.

I just ran in stealth with the chicken and watched the group of yetis, then the group of gorillas then the woodpaw mobs chase the chicken and give up once they got out of their range.

Comment by Allakhazam

Aye, this chicken ain't movin'. Put in a petition about it. Maybe it'll be fixed next patch.

Silly chicken. I even tried /chicken on it ;)

Comment by Allakhazam

first time i did this, chicken didn't budge. but it worked fine when i came back after a couple of days.
the only difference i could observe between the first and second trials was that i was the only person around when i spoke to the chicken the second time. the first time i tried, noticed a rogue ahead of me. when i got to the clearing, the chicken was there and i could talk to it, but it wouldn't move after giving the escort quest. maybe it gets bugged if someone doesn't finish it properly?

Comment by Allakhazam

Horde, bloodscalp server.

Comment by Allakhazam

friggen hate this quest, now its bugged, i died twice, once it was on the first wave but i managed 2 use bug i just found out which i didn't know when i did it (they just kept followin chicken but wont attack) and then i died 3rd wave which is so annoying, left 42 hp and died when gnoll attacked me (lvl 49 rogue horde)gah now it says completed failed wtf get lost f*ckin chicken

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this solo just now with my 45 warlock. It wasnt easy but i made it :)
Had to use one health stone, a mana potion and a sacrifice with my Void to get of HoT.

I dotted all of em exept the one the chicken was fighting, feared the rest with HoT and then chainfeared as soon as they got close and continued to put up dots if they ran out, while life draining and life tapping.

GL, or get a group to help out :)

Comment by Allakhazam

I attempted to do this quest twice (at level 46) with a level 42 friend. Both times we were stymied at the first group of appearing mobs (3 lvl 46 yetis) because we couldn't kill them fast enough and the stupid damned chicken buggered off. If there had been a third person in the group, I'm sure it woud have been a lot easier.

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed at lvl 42(Frost Mage)

First Wave- 3 Yetis
Second Wave- 3 Apes
Third Wave-4 Gnolls

Comment by Allakhazam

I just escorted the chicken to the docks (lvl 47 mage). id say you need some help to complete the quest.

3 waves of mobs.

First was 3 lvl 46 scar yetis( you can be lucky and dodge them, and move on).

second was 3 goraills lvl 43 pretty easy, i just AOE them.

Third was 3-4 Gnolls, i managed to aoe them(had no mana and 5% life left with 1 still not dead)

And the whole time the chicken just moves on after the mobs is dead, so you dont really have time to get mana or HP.

Comment by Allakhazam

Was a great quest.
There are three sets of mobs that spawn to kill you.
First three or more yetis just as you are leaving.
Second three more more apes on the road about halfway to the docks.
Finally three or more...geez I forget their name...but there is one more just before you turn off for the docks.

I mean heck you get 3900 for completing the first part...

Comment by Allakhazam

Hey, I got to him too. I didn't even mean to. ^_^" I had picked up the beacon just a little while earlier, and had ended up where he was while doing the quest for the Leatherworking guy in the Alliance town in Feralas (Feathermoon?), in which I need 10 of those yeti's hides. Anyways, after having had my mouse (computer mouse, i mean) pass over him a number of times, I realized his name seemed to match the beacon I found (which I hadn't activated yet due to a full quest log). Anywho, I got rid of the hide quest (I got all the hides already, so I just need to go back accept and immeadiately turn in ^_^ ) and took the beacon's quest. But as everyone seems to have said, he won't follow me for the rescue quest. I hope they fix this sometime soon. (And that we don't have to find the beacon again. << )

Comment by Allakhazam

Correction, they are not working, at least that's what a horde guy can tell you. Contact a GM about it and he said it would work in 5 minutes but it didn't, I hope it will be fixed soon.

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest works fine for Horde, soloed with 45 hunter.

Comment by Allakhazam

Bugged again....stupid chicken didn't move. Maybe cause its a chicken that isn't a chicken. (Terry Goodkind Humor)

Comment by Allakhazam

Yep, i tried todeay and its still bugged 4 horde char, finding it is possible, escort quest not, still : :

Comment by Allakhazam

Today on Nordrassil, I did it. Second try... Got ambushed on the first try. Abandoned the quest, and took it again later. Now on my way to BB to get reward. I ran through the last group of gnolls, and that went well :)

Comment by Allakhazam

I completed this quest with two other low 40's players. I am level 42. It was easy enough but it would have been very hard with only two people and impossible by myself. Anyway, I completed it and it got marked complete. Then went to booty bay to pick up my shoulders and the guy won't let me turn in the freakin quest. Talked to a GM and he said that I should abandon the quest and do it again. You do turn this quest in with Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay right? Someone please respond to this post with a yes or no.

Comment by Brannar3

I don't know if someone has already written this but if you are a Hunter. Just send you pet in to aggro the waves. The chicken will just move past them, If you pet is stacked it will vanish when you get too far way from it. If not just use Feign Death if it dies and ress it.

Comment by Rostkebab

Absolutely not doable as a solo 44 priest. Skipped.

Comment by Fuzzyknight

Soloed pretty easily as a 44 Undead Combat Mace Rogue.

First wave of Yetis that spawned, ran ahead, sapped one. Popped Blade Flurry/Evasion and nuked two of them down while OOX tanked the third one.

Second wave ran ahead, distracted and opened up with a Kidney shot on one of them. Popped Blade Flurry and used a Superior Healing Potion when I got low.

Final wave I ran ahead, distracted the group. Sapped the Mystic, popped Blade Flurry and nuked down the lowest level one as quickly as possible. Used another superior healing potion. Adrenaline came back up so I used those, got a second Gnoll down. Mystic came out of sap so I swapped to the mystic and just finished burning em down. Lowest I got was around 35% health and that was during the first wave because I had accidentally face pulled a gorilla.

Comment by Marxman

Be very wary of the stupid bird running off as the groups of mobs spawn on you. If the chicken doesn't take damage, it doesn't stop running...

Comment by PotatoLife

Just learned you can stealth by the second group at least as rouge.

Comment by ljgard

just failed this because the final sets of 3 & 4 mobs completely ignored the chicken which meant it went on merrily skipping ahead like the @#$%wit it is and then I failed the quest.

@#$% THIS !@#$ING CHICKEN

Comment by Superslurper

Quite easy for a lvl 45 and above or stealth classes in Classic Era. Clear the apes and yetis on the route beforehand (northwards) so no combat can ensue. Then, while escorting the chicken, let it run uninterrupted through the spawned mobs. If all is correct, they'll not aggro and if you stay close enough but not so close as to aggro, you can skip all combat and let the chicken outrun the mobs.

Comment by logicalreasoning

I completed this quest today on Blizzard's hardcore classic servers as a 42 priest solo by not killing any of the packs.

The first pack of yetis that spawned aggroed me and I just walked with the chicken and did not attack them at all until they leashed. They never targeted the chicken.

Then the pack of Gorillas spawned and I did not even aggro these. I sidestepped out of their path and they pathed through the chicken and did not touch it. The gorillas patrolled towards the cave and then back where they spawned, then just wandered around.

When the 4 gnolls spawned, I was about to mind control one and duke it out, then taking into account my previous experiences with the last two packs of mobs, I decided to just move aside a bit so none of them aggroed me. Sure enough, the mobs did not attack the chicken. They patrolled and charged to the top of that slope/hill, then turned around and ran all the way back down to where they spawned from and simply de-spawned after not engaging myself or the chicken, which they walked through the chicken twice.

Quest complete. I was surprised.

Solo'd as a rogue on season of discovery (level 40, phase two, 2/11/2024)

I'm tired and sweaty, if any of this information is listed below I apologize:

1. I believe anyone can pass the first set of yetis just by moving farther right near the gorillas by the hill/tree, also if you enter combat with something else as the triple yeti pack spawns (lvl 45-46) the chicken will stop for a moment and they will run off.

2. Pack of 3 gorilla, lvl 42-43, I let the chicken tank 2 of them while I killed the first, and then moved on to each one at a time.

3. By far the hardest pack, 4 gnolls levels 42-43 spawn by the sign heading back down towards feathermoon docks. I killed this pack by sapping the highest level melee of which there are 3, blinding another, and then pulling the caster and melee that were left to the side and using blade flurry. From there evasion + pray to God + bandages etc.

I hope this helps anyone else attempting this solo in the future!

Season of Discovery - Phase 2 (Rogue)

Just did this quest solo, here is what I did!

Luckily for me, there was a Paladin and a Priest in a group right outside the yeti cave, and when the first group of Yetis spawned, they helped me kill them.

When the pack of Gorillas spawned, the previous comment's OP said they just sidestepped their path and they didn't pull aggro or attack the chicken - - I'm, not where they sidestepped because they aggroed onto me, but I popped Vanish and was able to drop combat and sure enough, they didn't attack the chicken. If you make it over the bridge by the time they turn back around, you'll be good.

When the Gnolls spawned, I didn't know where they were going to be coming from (they come from down the hill slope), I stayed to the right path and let the chicken go down the hill, and when the Gnolls stopped to turn around is when I jumped down the hill and chased back to the chicken. After the Gnolls started down the hill, they aggroed onto me, and I kept up with the chicken but stayed far enough away so that the chicken wouldn't pull onto them. The Gnolls stopped chasing me and ran back up the hill, and the chicken made it to the objective spot.

Farmed the quest item for hours, managed to get it to drop off a Hatecrest Wave Rider at 26, 52. GL all!

Just did this solo at level 40 in SoD as an enchance shaman. It was kind of weird.

-The first pack were yeti's which I was able to avoid but I am not sure how, it kind of just happened.

-The second pack were Gorillas, I was able to kill them but it was pretty close.

-The third pack it got weird, gnolls attacked the chicken and I ripped off the agro. Ended up dying after killing two and I thought that was it, sure enough when I got back to my corpse it was almost like they stopped attacking the chicken until I got in range. When I had died the chicken was already at half health and it was a medium walk back so there was no way it would have survived with the same amount of health it had when I died.

Moral of the story is if you die while doing this solo, don' t give up and book it to your corpse because you may have a chance to get redeemed like I did. Or it was just dumb luck but I thought I'd give my 2 cents.

Comment by Frightnoodle

Managed solo as a level 40 Moonkin.

The Yeti pack I just stayed stealthed, actually grimaced thinking the quest would stop there and... They just ran by the chicken, suppose that works!

The Gorilla pack again stayed stealthed until they turned around onto the chicken. Got at max range and just blew them up, suppose you could attempt to Hibernate or Root but the resisting seemed too risky.

The Gnoll pack is where I nearly lost him. Yet again stayed stealthed as he ran past them until the pack turned around, there was one caster that strayed from the pack so I downed him quickly as the chicken tanked the other three. As I started to burn one I realized the chicken was going to die and I wasn't pulling aggro off him at all... Had to go Bear form to draw all three with a Challenging Roar, Swipe spammed in fear they might swap back onto him afterward but they didn't. After the low one died I did the usual dance around Moonkin and Caster form to keep myself healed up and might've lucked out somewhere.

Definitely woke me up, hah!

Comment by cryin247

Just did this without fighting any of the packs, all I did was aggro each pack as the chicken was running and made sure it never went into combat and just let the mobs reset as I kept running along the same path as the chicken

Rescue OOX-22/FE!

Escort OOX-22/FE to the dock along the Forgotten Coast, then report to Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay.

	Escort OOX-22/FE to the dock along the Forgotten Coast (1)

Description

The gnome's voice crackles once again from the robot:

"I need to move OOX-22/FE to an open, safe place so it can begin a lengthy take-off procedure. It has built-in cloaking, but I need time on my end to make it operational again. Escort the robot from its current location to, let's say, the dock along the Forgotten Coast! That should be a perfect place, and long enough, to get things online!"

"Escort it safely to the dock, and then come talk to me in Booty Bay! Oglethorpe Obnoticus - out!"
