Just talk to Harrison Jones.

Comment by 722340

"Stayed Out of Harrison's Way" just made my day

Comment by 545776

Harrison looked so happy playing Spiderman on the statues that I didn't have the heart to remind him that I have a flying red drake who could have sped up the process exponentially.

Comment by dustybob

anyone else turn in be prepared and not get this follow up?

Comment by HoleofArt

No follow-up either, after turning in Be Prepared. He just tells me

"The hieroglyphs on your tablets indicate that there's a way to get this mechanism working again.

We just need to figure out how..."

Lovely.

*EDIT: THERE IS A BREADCRUMB QUEST IN THE SOUTH-WEST CORNER OF THE ROOM. MUST COMPLETE FIRST*

Comment by saluce65

To get this quest to open up, you must complete Lessons From the Past, which is obtained from a dead Schnottz Scout at (63.5, 32.5) (southwest corner of the Obelisk of the Stars), and the followup quest, By the Light of the Stars.

"Just stand back. We wouldn't want a pretty little thing like you getting hurt."

Comment by 266303

When I started this quest, right before the cutscene he said "I wouldn't want a pretty little thing like you getting hurt."
Just wondering what that dialogue would be for male players. Can anyone post?

Comment by siubosn

For us guys he says - step back NAME I wouldn't want you to get hurt!
LOL Hope that helps ya

Comment by Farmbuyer

If you applied yourself, you could make a fine archaeologist one day.

The irony, of course, is that his research technique involves smashing ancient statues.

Comment by 665227

after the cut scene is over your character has a buff called "rattled" and it says "Your life has flashed before your eyes." thought it was funny

Comment by Dj12121

Whatever you do just stay out of his way... The last thing I remember after feeling a stone fist braking my face in half was rage... pure rage...

When done properly he'll put his hand on your shoulder, look you in the eye and say "Good job! *Quick Evil Glare* ...You stayed out of my way..."

Comment by Trilok

Before I entered I used the /script LeaveParty()
(as recomended in a forum/Blizzard note from earlier).

I can confirm that

So stop looking all other places for him, you need to locate the dead Schnottz Scout.

Took me more than a day of googling to find Schnottz Scout with a quest, and using the script mentioned above in combination with an overnight disconnected time made the quest appear for me.

After Harrison Jones has said goodbuy to you ("See you i Ramkahaen" and something...), go to The Obelisk of the Sun where he is located (44,57) and pick up I've Got This Guy and They Don't Know What They've Got Here

Comment by Miako

A horrifying display if you're actually being trained in archaeology, even if it is a parody of Harrison Jones. Badass as it was, I was cursing up a storm...

Don't get the wrong idea guys. True archaeologists protect and document and preserve, not go on a destructive rampage of theft and depravity. In the real world, this is not okay. ^^;

Comment by Sunbendyr

You cannot exit this cut scene. (many of the Uldum cut scenes are like this)

Comment by Cinnamontea

And he told ME not to break anything!

Comment by Sallara

It seems, new to Mists of Pandaria, you can actually see the rope that connects all the statues together, so now it makes more sense on why the statues fall one after another.

Comment by beeverz

"Talk about bringing the house down..."

Hahaha yes! Finishes with a catch phrase, what a badass.

Comment by Kozzie

After accepting this quest - talk to Harrison and the option "What can I do to help" to start his spiderman like moves to destroy the statues.

A quest where the quest giver does the quest for you to complete after the cut scene. =)

Tipping the Balance

Speak to Harrison Jones in the Chamber of the Stars.

	Stayed Out of Harrison's Way (1)

Description

<Harrison grins.>

That's it, <name>. The pieces we need are hidden in these statues!

They look to be a bit off balance as is. Maybe just a little nudge...

I must say, your field work is coming along nicely. If you applied yourself, you could make a fine archaeologist one day.
