When attempting to arm the single explosive, you knock over a torch, setting off the cluster of larger explosives.

You and Dr. Jones jump into the nearby wooden chests, are sent flying hundreds of feet away after being close to a massive explosion, and emerge completely unscathed.

This seems very familiar...

somehow a fridge is stuck in my head for no reason.

Comment by sunsmoon

Click the powder keg next to the large wagon of explosives.

1 in 3 men suffer from Premature Explosionation...

Premature Explosionation

Which leads to

Just the tip

which requires "Shaft of the Stars"

Sexual Innuendo? I think so. ;)

Comment by Faent

For anyone not knowing where the explosives are, Harrison has the ability to be in two places a once and is also standing at 64,22 next to the cart of explosives.

Obvious Indiana Jones Reference. Scene from the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull where Indi jumps in the fridge to save himself from the atomic bomb. I love WoW movie references. =P

Comment by 724855

If you were like me, and added this quest.... but then had to head into your random dungeon, or left without completing right away. Don't worry!

When I came back I was shocked and confused not to be able to find the bombs... All I could see was what I now know is where Harrison ends up upon completion of this quest. Just abandon the quest, and head to the feet of the big statue.

Once you get the quest again just click the stick right next to the cart by the horse. You and Harrison will jump into a box while the cart and all the explosives will blow up. Poor horsie!

Anyhow, I also uploaded a pic to help. The red circle is where I lit my dynamite. The yellow are the boxes you will jump into.

Hope this helps anyone else that gets stuck!

Comment by Caldnar

I think that, although it is definately referring to the Crystal Skull movie, it is more likely showing us how un-realistic it is to survive an atomic bomb using a lead-inlined fridge. It makes fun of this because to most people, jumping into a wooden chest to avoid an explosion seems far more stupid than Indy's fridge getaway, but in reality, the chances of surviving each are about the same, maybe even with a higher chance in the case of the one in the quest.

Comment by Yomamaa95

Harrison Jones... very original Blizzard.
(Harrison Ford = Indiana Jones for anyone who doesn't know...)

Comment by Masqerader

But we Romans are rich. We've got a lot of gods. We've got a god for everything. The only thing we don't have a god for is premature ejaculation... but I hear that's coming quickly.

such a great mel brooks movie, this quest reminded me of that line from his char comicus

Comment by 791019

I took off after accepting the quest. I should have read on here first because when I came back I so I dropped it and now I can't seem to pick it up again. There is no exclaimation mark above the quest giver's hea and when I talk to him it only says "I've been meaning to investigate this site. No time like the present!" The quest is definitely not in my log.

Comment by 275081

This is, in fact, the best cutscene!

Comment by Zuljid

All aboard the Freedom Fridge!

(Warning: The link contains a hilarious parody full of spoilers of the Indiana Jones 4 movie)

Breaching, breaching!

Comment by 632492

When the chest lands, you are stunned by a debuff called Wake Up Dead. This questline is ripe with references!

Comment by Kaltzor

Blizzard You magnificent bastards.

Comment by 835790

No offense meant to anyone but....EXCUSE ME? FOR THE ALLIANCE? I do NOT think so.

that is all.... :D

Working on the entirety of the Harrison Jones Quest chain, since you can't just click on him and see the whole chain. You must to do the starting zone quests for phasing beginning with Warchief's Board, however you can skip that one and go right to the escort quest in Tanaris.

11. By the Light Of the Stars
12. Tipping the Balance
CINEMATIC
Loot the Gems from the Heads of the statues for:
13. After the Fall
Final step, turn around and touch the right corner of the central complex you are staring at and it will start the CINEMTIC for:
14. Do The Honors

You reappear on the surface and Jones tells you he'll meet you in Ramkahen.

Back in Ramkahen, Adarrah Gives you the start of the next quest chain to go find Harrison at The Obelisk of the Sun
15. That Gleam In His Eye

At the Obelisk Harrison gives you
16a. I've Got This Guy
16b. They Don't Know What They've Got Here

You'll also pick up a book for Efficient Excavations
which will start the quest chain following this one.

Go down the steps next to the obelisk, and look to the giant statue.
17. Ignition
Quest turn in is on the platform above you.
Cinematic
18. Tailgunner!

Head over to Schnottz's Landing to turn in

Cinematic
35. Master Trapper

Next part of the storyline will appear after I've done it. Please rate me up for compiling this. Once I have the entire quest chain mapped, I'll repost on each page, but I figured here was a good place to start.

Comment by Leleiole

When you get the quest for Premature Explosion, look in front of the donkey - there is a cask of gunpowder there. Pick it up. This triggers the scenario. Just follow from there.

Comment by 973430

Guess none of you ever heard of Nuke the Fridge, the sequel to Jump the Shark?

Comment by mjblink

So I just did this quest on my Horde Pandaren Monk and after the cut scene started, I somehow morphed into a Blood Elf before jumping into the chest. Not sure what that was about, but it happened.

Comment by Nocked

god, I laughed so hard at the parody of the nuked refrigerator scene in Indiana Jones. Awesome!

Comment by chantelle

if you like me rather look on map for khartut`s tomb go there the cart with bombs there :)

Comment by deepspace8

I didn't know I was supposed to click on anything and so he disappeared. I abandoned the quest and he never came back. I teleported somewhere else, toggled WM, came back, and he's still not there.

Not a well-designed quest.

Comment by gt86guy

If you're in a similar situation to me where you complete the cutscene, but then take a dungeon queue before turning it in. Abandon the quest, but don't see anyone to pick it back up from at 64,22. You have to go talk to Zidormi at 56,35 to switch timeline back to the cataclysm timeline and then you'll be able to get the quest again.

Description

What a find!

Right here... exactly where my notes predicted it would be.

With any luck, inside this chamber will lie clues to the location of the legendary Coffer of the Promise.

That's right, <name>. It's not just a myth. I believe it truly exists.

I'll explain more later. For now, just give me a hand with these explosives.
