The key is in a small box in the middle of the largest of the blue-white round areas. I got there shortly after someone else had done the fight and the box was clickable. Got the key without a fight and returned it.

Comment by Moonfeather

Inquisitor Salrand spawns at 41,38 when you use the Beryl Shield Detonator on the shield. She has no special abilities and when she dies, her lockbox with the key spawns.

she starts up in the air channeling something, the entire platform is in a blue bubble.
if not wait for respawn

Comment by fraeg

If someone else has already taken down the force field, you can just run up and loot the box, and turn in the broken key to complete the quest.

Comment by 186100

she begins up in the air, you have to use the bomb on the shield to get her to drop, probly a good idea to kill the three mobs around her before you do too.

Comment by satania

TIP: the quest item is looted by a box she drops on the floor upon death, if somsone else kills her you can also loot your box (altho it might have been a glitch), i helped an ali (im H) kill her and i was able to loot it (she had flaged it first)

Comment by rxym

My sister and I are having the same issue - we can't talk to the dragon to get there and already have the Coldarra FP as well so that may be the problem.

Comment by 73557

You don't get on a dragon to do this part - you get on the dragon for the next part in the chain...

In this part, you just go the center blue ring, use the detonator, kill the caster, loot the box, and go turn it in at Amber Ledge.

Did this quest 3 times now... I throw the bomb, Inquisitor Salrand yells and comes down, I kill her, she instantly despawns even though her body is sparkly showing loot, the box appears and I am unable to loot the quest item from it. The little gear thing shows up but right clicking the box does nothing. Looks like it might be bugged at least on my server.

I just tried it a 4th time and tried to loot her corpse real fast before it despawned but it said I didn't have permission to loot it and it faded away. Once again the box is unlootable.

Hmmm.....No comments in over a year. The last person who commented had some kind of a bug...

Well, you leave the questgiver and head south along the coast. You see the big blue circles, one of which is largest and has a blue misty wall around it. If you have coords its at 42, 37.

Throw the detonator at the blue wall towards the center of the circle. The wall will blow up. Slay the mob that appears in the center. Loot the key. I had no problems with the quest.

Well i had the same bug..but after i left the group it worked -.-

Comment by UncleCrust

I've killed her three times. Each time she says, "I've destroyed the key! Your cherished archgmage belongs to Malythos." No box spawns. :'( ?

Comment by LeaNoodles

Thank goodness anyone can loot the box. I threw the bomb and the shield went down and then someone ELSE immediately ran up and attacked Inquisitor Salrand. Luckily I was able to loot the box anyway and didn't have to wait for her to reset.

Comment by Iumu

I'm playing in WotlK. Tried to use the bomb on the center, Salrond dropped to the ground but still invulnerable (a bug?).

Anyway. I just killed some Beryl Mage Hunters and one dropped Salrand's Broken Key.

A Race Against Time

Donathan on Amber Ledge has tasked you with using the Beryl Shield Detonator to bring down the shield at Beryl Point. You are then to defeat Salrand and collect the key she holds.

	Salrand's Broken Key (1)

Provided item:

	Beryl Shield Detonator (1)

Description

So it's true. They have her.

It's clear what must be done, <race>. She WILL be saved.

I must remain here and aid in the rescue preparations. I call upon you again; this time to collect the prison key. All we know of this Salrand figure is that she cannot be harmed so long as her shield is intact.

We've customized a special explosive that should strip her of this protection, allowing you to perform your duty. Return to me when you've collected the key.

Hurry, <name>. Lady Evanor is suffering!
