The units are found in the camps. Pretty much anything with the word 'Twilight' in it's name. The Stormwakers are found riding drakes all along the east side of the map.

Comment by Zillions

Fiery Instructors also count towards this quest. Just fly low to the ground along the roads and kill mobs; most you encounter will give you credit for this quest.

I just completed this quest, taking way too long at the moment with all the people currently playing in Mount Hyjal.

The way I did it is just to kill the Twilight Stormwaker's, because they're easy to find and kill. After that, I just camped the Twilight Enforcer camp, the orge camp, for the 40 Twilight's Hammer units.

Took me somewhere around 15 minutes to complete, because sometimes another player stuck around and killed one or two before me.

The co-ordinates for the spot I was at are: 78.8 , 48.9.

Make sure you stay close to the ground so your Acid Blast doesn't have to 'travel' a long distance.

Comment by tehbob

Right behind the quest giver are two green dragons. You need to mount up on one of them to do this quest.

Comment by fordahord

Your dragon has three controls: the first one is good against ground troops, the second is (supposed to be) good against the flying dragons, the third is a power boost "get out of dodge" jet speed button.

The ground troops were easy -- easier than the similar quest in Dragonblight. These guys can't shoot back.

The flying dragons were another story. I found the controls hard to use and not very effective. I managed to shoot down three dragons, but I had to DPS the other two when I got shot down.

I didn't die, but I lost my own dragon many times.

Comment by Alfador

Sadly, it seems that sometimes (happened 1 out of 1 times for me, need more data points!) the cutscene that appears after this quest completes will have camera glitches that prevent you from viewing all the dialogue until after it's over (as well as some of the action). Has this happened to anybody else? In order to reproduce it I'd need to take another character all the way through Hyjal and I'd like to concentrate on my main first.

Comment by 723572

Would anyone mind telling me where this quest begins? I accidently abandoned it and am having trouble finding the questgiver again. Thanks.

Comment by crazyprsn

Seems that the drakes stay phased in even after the quest is done. Makes it tough on farming this area.

Comment by 728474

As someone who hates to fight on dragonback, I found an easy way to kill the dragons in flight. Get above the purple Stormwalkers, target one, and dive down on them using the second control which grabs the target and kills it in one hit. Then use the acid bombs on the mobs in each of the enemy camps. Once I figured it out it took about 5 minutes to complete.

Comment by 12962

WOW ....OMFG ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME ........
this area is massive spawn of ore and doing this quest takes this WHOLE area from you to mine in. i was thinking that maybe after i did all the quest here they would go back to normal and have the camp sites back so i could farm some ore here. So now your Mt. Hyjal is cut by 1/3 of minning or any gathering at all... these things fly very fast and hit realy hard even if your flying past them. i have 310 mount speed and still can't out run them... oh yeah forgot to say yes i did all the quest in Mt. Hyjal and came back to farm more for JC and there still there. i would recommend not doing this quest.

BAD BLIZZARD BAD

Comment by 729626

The trick is to get above the purple twilight Drakes and dive bomb them while using the speed button. The most important part it to make sure you have targeted the drake with your mouse. then when you get with in about 2 yard of the drake Tithe the Number 2 button and you take em down.

PS. Fing Stupid quest and so was the one with the speech F u Bilzz .

Comment by HeatherLynn0388

I had a hard time with this as well! Commander Jarod Shadowsong is located at Gates of Sothann. Which is South East of the map!

Comment by 267801

If you're queuing for random dungeon, you won't automatically enter, you'll have to dismount then teleport. After you're done with the dungeon, you need to go back and remount a green dragon.

The Mount Hyjal is done! Leave your comments/sugestions at my comment in Mount Hyjal zone. Thanks everyone who helped me to make it via comments on wowhead and in-game pre-quest tracking.

Comment by 746310

I don't know if this helps anyone but you can kill the big dragons without the emerald dragon to fly.

Comment by Milune

I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is Blizzard's version of the PS3 game Lair. The mid-flight takedowns of other dragons and the decimation of the infantry feel very much like Lair. Very fun quest and a nice break from collecting flowers and livers!

Comment by WoWwidow

71, 74 is the little island, south east Mt Hyjal. Mount one of the two green dragons beside Commander Jarod Shadowsong who gives the quest.

Fly away from him to the right (75,63) and fly up high to look for the Twilight Stormwakers. Watch for one headed your way, target it and swoop down on it and use #2 ability. That ability is an easy one-shot kill. While you are pursuing your next Stormwaker, use the #1 ability repeatedly and you will likely hit many of the other mobs on the ground that you need. Take out the rest, if any, when you finish the Stormwakers.

Be careful around the Stormwakers when you are not on the green dragon. They aggro very easily, they don't stop following you and do a lot of damage.

Comment by Verdice

Where were Acid Blast and Aerial Swipe when we were running H. Oculus with these things?

Comment by 155568

Ok, I just finished this quest.

The Stormwakers can be a problem; after getting killed by them twice, I started taking my mother's advice. If soup is too hot, take it from the edge. Stay against the hills, and sneak around to avoid the Stormwakers initially. Don't worry about whether or not the acid spit only takes out 1-2 elementals at a time; it might be slow, but it's faster than corpse running if you fly straight into a pack of 'wakers.

For the Stormwakers themselves, remember another piece of advice from The Offspring; keep them seperated. Wait for a single one to come around to you; don't chase them, because that will lead you into a group, and once the shadow bolts start en masse, it's all over. The rake spell won't autotarget before firing, either; you have to explicitly target them yourself, and then spam 2. That is what got me the first two times.

Wait for the strays, and you'll be finished before you know it. You only need 5.

Comment by George14

Everytime I go near the Twilight's Hammer mobs for the quest, I INSTANTLY disconnect. Anyone having this?

I killed them without the emerald dragon on my DK. If anyone is having this problem, do this until it is fixed. It is possible to kill them, even though they drop no loot and no exp. ..

Comment by 453177

I just finished this quest, and I thought it was really quite fun. Right hand on the mouse to steer and target. Left hand on keyboard with pinky on '1', ring finger on '2', index finger on '4', and thumb on space bar. What you do with your middle finger is your business.

Get way up above the stormwakers. Find one and target with a mouse click. Dive toward it and when just in range (when the 2 stops being red) hit your '2' button. Then space bar to climb. If another stormwaker fires at you, hit '4' and space bar and speed-climb away. The fiery instructors are even more fun. Dive toward a pack if you can, target one of them, and hit '1' then the space bar to climb back up. You'll take out two or three at a time. It's just dive bombing.

This would make a great daily.

Comment by 864382

It wasn't till the end that I realized you're supposed to get on the Emerald Drake. I just killed everything. Didn't take that long really.

Comment by cuirmichael

For the Stormwakers I used this simple technique. Drop into their paths as they fly towards you. They will then stop and attack you. Mouse round till you're facing them and let go with number 2. You might have to space-bar up a couple of taps but they go down really easily. No chasing around trying to catch them!

Comment by Zxcccccccccccc

I'm doing Hyjal for the first time since the day of Cataclysm's release. The first time through I was on my disc priest, and in a mad dash to level and break away from the swarms of players mucking up the zones... and now, I see, they give us drakes for this quest...

Comment by 945326

Being a player who absolutely sucks at this kind of "mounted" quest, I just killed the required number of mobs manually.

The "units" were easy. As someone else said, just start from the outside and work your way around/in.

The Stormwalkers are elites, but -- as long as you're only fighting one at a time -- were also quite do-able, even for someone that plays this game as badly as I do. Just mount up, find one on its own to aggro, kite them off to the side, dismount, and kill. Just be sure to take your time and not manage to pull several of them at once.

I finished the entire quest in only a couple of minutes.

Comment by steve2470

The spraying of the troops with acid was really easy, almost too easy.

Killing the Stormwalkers was much more challenging. Here's how I did it.

Step One: Position your Emerald Drake at the average flight level of the Stormwalkers.
Step Two: Wait for one to get pretty close to you.
Step Three: Left click on one with your mouse to highlight it.
Step Four: Click control #2 ONE time, since there is a cooldown.
Step Five: No worries if one gets right next to you and attacks. As long as you have
the Stormwalker highlighted and it's front of you in range, one click of #2 takes it down.

Enjoy ! I had to get shot down a few times and come here before I got my technique. I even gave up the quest.

Comment by Shadow12000

As of the rebalancing a few patches prior, this quest has become a bit of a pain. Not impossible, just quite annoying. The Twilight Stormwakers still die in 1 hit from your #2 ability, but they do a TON of damage now, taking down your green drake in about 3 to 4 hits. This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't tend to aggro you in groups. Once you've attacked one, unless it was completely alone, it's likely that by attacking you'll have aggro'd at least one other. Once your drake is dead, you slowly parachute down, while still being attacked by the Stormwaker, and die within a couple attacks (unless you're a Paladin or manage to get some kind of CC off on them I assume). So, be prepared to die once or twice when attempting this as the likeliness of them taking a look at this, even with suggestions or bug reports submitted, is extremely low.

dont forget to get Emerald Drake and hp not so much ,
use acid for Twilight's Hammer and Aerial Swipe For
Twilight Stormwaker

Links

Slash and Burn

Ride an Emerald Drake and slay 40 Twilight's Hammer units and 5 Twilight Drakes.

Twilight Stormwaker slain (5)

Twilight's Hammer unit slain (40) (1)

Description

Victory is possible, <name>.

This portal is not just a means of bringing back Cenarius through the dream. Think about it, <name>. Once a gateway through the Emerald Dream is open, our forces can use them to move freely from Moonglade, Nordrassil, and even Wyrmrest, to this strategic location.

All Ysera needs is time. It'll be up to you to keep the Twilight's Hammer forces in Darkwhisper Gorge from pulling together and attacking us from the east.

Take one of the emerald drakes and hit them hard, <name>.
