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

Comment by teranoid

Might be a bug, but this also works on the nearby Dreadtusks. I used it on one accidentally and still got credit after I killed it.

Edit: it seems as though Dreadtusks are rare (but not technically "rare") spawns from the Hulking Helboars, but it still works on them anyway.

Comment by Caffi

About the Dreadtusk:

It isnt a spawn at all, you use the antidote on a Hulking Helboar, and it turns into a Dreadtusk.

Comment by 56517

Hunters have it even easier, just send your pet to attack one and then walk up to it and right click the antidote, then kill it for a quest complete :)

easy 10g if you sell the reward :o

If you are a Feral Druid, you may want to choose the Dreadtusk's Fury as the quest reward and here is why:

The best non-raid Feral weapon is a rep reward from CE called The Earthwarden:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29171

While in animal form, a druid's hit rating is based on their weapon skill of their currently equipped weapon. This skill will NEVER increase while in animal form. It can only be increased in caster form. It is by far faster to train your weapons up on mobs your level or higher. This means that at level 70, getting those last 5 points of skill will take DAYS. To minimize the time it will take, it is best to use a 2H mace with the fastest weapon speed. Faster speed = more hits per hour and more chances at a skill up. Of all of the 2H maces, this is the easiest to get with the highest weapon speed. Bank it until you need to train up 2H maces and go to town on the mobs.

Hope this helps somene. I didnt realize it at the time and DE'd mine before I realized its benefit.

Wow! This quest is extremely easy as a combat rogue, just go in there attack and then use the antidote.. a piece of cake.

Comment by Chrisz

Will give u around 10g if u dont need the weapons(Like i did) i took the sword which u can sell for 7,90g :D

Comment by 145846

HEY I DON'T KNOW WAT HAPPENED TO THAT QUEST BUT I CAN'T GET THE EXPERIMENT RESULTS BECAUSE NOTHING IS HAPPENING IN THE HULKING HELBOAR I HOPE SOMEONE COULD HELP ME!!!

Comment by 145846

hey m8 how come i cant finish that quest bcoz the hulking helboar is not getting big i mean i use the antidote to it many times but nothings happening

Comment by naser

Hulking Helboar around (28-40) or (22-55) good luck.

Comment by 169624

A tip for those needing items to DE and like me that needed a new item or 2. Dreadtusk drops some greens. It took a few kills but I recieved Laughing skull shoulders and belt Tourmaline Loop(ring) and a new pair of boots.

Comment by 205164

why does it say "spell is not available to you" when I cast it on a hulking boar? Maybe because I'm playing in Wowscape funserver... could be a bug... I can't finish this quest because of that. Or could being a night elf priest cause it to say " spell is not available to you" every time I use it on a hellboar.

Comment by Blackraptor

A good idea would be to lower the Helboar's HP before applying the antidote. As a paladin, I stunned the helboar at 10% and applied the antidote for an extremely easy kill.

Comment by 205759

just a little fun fact but if you`re a hunter and you have aspect of the viper on ,every time you administer the antidote you get back mana as if you swung at it so you could just spam it as much as you want for free mana

Comment by Nazarene04

Use the Antidote on a Helboar, kill it done... Easy as a pie!

Comment by 159005

So this quest should be so easy like use the antidope kill the boar and thats it but i have some kinda bug or smthing, i use the antidope kill the boar and nothing happesn, i even tried pulling like 4 boars and used the antidope on ever1 but the quest just doesnt complete. so wat should i do?

Comment by 226137

The boar enrages. I did not get credit till it was dead.

Comment by Shube

This quest seems bugged in 3.3, or maybe it's just me, but targetting a hulking helboar and trying to use the antidote only returns "no valid targets" now. :|

Comment by 63881

Fixed as of the patch last night

Comment by solid1337

if all quest would be like this i would ding 80 in few hours lol...

Comment by 715693

unfortunately taming one of these as a hunter doesnt finish the quest, but on the upside i have a really cool boar now!

Comment by 879227

Also as a hunter you can change the beast then tame the Dreadtusk for a differnt pet. Just do not turn in the quest first or the antidote will disappear.

Comment by 9mmx19

The 2h sword reward looks great for xmog; the only other way to get that look is from a green world drop Shin Blade

Comment by 164172

I would hate to taste the bacon off of that pig. Easy kill as a 62 Hunter.

Testing the Antidote

Use the Cenarion Antidote on a Hulking Helboar and observe the results. Once you have the results of the experiment, return to Thiah Redmane at the Cenarion Post in Hellfire Peninsula.

	Administer Antidote (1)
	Cenarion Antidote (Provided) (1)

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.
