Just clear out the other trash mobs, then its easy to finish him off.

Solo'd with a mage at 13. not so hard at all.

Above coordinates are correct. Happy hunting!

Comment by 8237

North of Grol'dom farm there will be bones of a big animal and a few lions. Blow the horn here to summon him. Easier than a normal level 16 monster from my experiences.

Comment by 17406

Not very hard, just make sure you kill the prowlers and raptors in the surrounding area before you take on the big guy

Comment by ResistThis

I am an Alliance Hunter on Korgath seeking a horde to help me get this pet. I will pay you 50gold if you help me. You post in neutral AH an item for 55g, and I will buy it. But first you have to help me get this pet.

Easy quest....go to Grol'dom Farm and head north east a bit until you get to the pile of animal bones.....then go blow your horn. Be aware that area is littered with Huntresses.

Comment by 12927

Be careful
If the Mob is already summoned by some else, dont use your horn or u will loose it, and u will have to re take the Q

Comment by Murdar

Co-ords for the lair: 55.83, 17.08

Comment by 68861

Does any one know if this quest is avalible to trolls aswell because i realy want that as a pet.

Comment by virgil

Not quite hard one, take the road leading north of crossroads, then turn right and go behind the Grol'dom farm and you'll see a bunch of bones, stand near the bones and blow the horn. The lion will come alone and you wont aggro the other lions if you are far away from em'...... as in you dont aggro just cuz you summoned the boss.

Comment by 79253

As Alliance it is pretty hard to get this pet.
I am alliance hunter and we are not many who have tamed it.
You have to get a quest to summon this white lion.
And to get this quest you have to be horde.
You can´t kill the hordes, cause they are in Horde territory.

There are not many ways to get this pet for our alliance,
the best way is that the lion must kill the horde that
blew the horn and then you can tame it.

There was a nice horde that helped me to get this lion,
he summoned it and then he let me tame it.
Then he asked me to help him with hard quest,
ofc. I helped him with that :) (talked to each other like
/beg /help /smile and so on).

The cords for the location of the place where this lion is sommoned
are 55.83, 17.08 at big white bones.
I went behind trees over there, pretty good spot to hide.

Good luck on this.

Solo'd this cat and his friend with a level 13 druid, I have basic quest and vendor gear while the servers where down.

August 14th,

Comment by BuNsiE

Level requirement is 10, not 11.

Comment by 66950

Easy to get him as Alliance, since i have loads of (Guest Pass Key) which comes with the 60-Day prepaid cards, i used one and made orc character, lvl it up to lvl 10, done the quest with the help of my RL friend Alliance hunter, we were talking on the phone while doing the quest and he tamed it.

Comment by 84626

Can someone help me? I'm at the place where the bones are, and whenever i try use the horn, it always says "Requires Echeyakee's Lair" Please help.

Comment by 75756

he's at 55,18 there are 2 huntress lion and they respawn very fast.. so kill only 1 of them (because if u kill the 2 lions the respawn together in 5 or 6 sec) then use the horn and pull echeyakee away from the lions, then kill him... its a good pet for hunter..
its at lvl 16 non elite... at the place u can see animals bones---> there u can use the horn to summon the cat

Comment by 114113

is this quest require that your profession is a hunter...?
because i'm a mage and i take this quest.. when i blow the horn.. nothing happened..

Comment by martin4eto

well i can't see the co-ords

Comment by martin4eto

well if you want to know how to find the cat click on the
Echeyakee's Hide then klick down on drop by and your done

Hope it Helps

Comment by 141865

When you are at the kodo bones you should be able to summon Echeyakee (Hunters may tame this lion) but it is easier if you kill mobs first. I soloed this q with 16 lvl feral druid =D

Comment by 149617

im looking for a horde player shatterd halls pvp realm to summon him for me so i can tame him on my ne hunter

Comment by Mitokok

If your in a group and the other person uses his horn then you can actually keep your horn after the quest is over, good if you didn't tame him the frist time or if you just want to kill him agin.(Also if you have a friend who is an Ally friend who wants this beauty. :D Happy Hunting!

Comment by 64664

When someone else is already fighting the tiger, don't blow the horn. Else the qst will bug and you have to abandon it to get a new horn. (consumable horn....whoever invented that :s)

Comment by 202364

I used my lvl 16 girl troll hunter to help an alliance male hunter tame Echeyakee.I told him before hand what to do using my druid main ; since we won,t be able to communicate ,and told the alliance hunter where to meet me while i logged out and in to get my troll.When i called echeyakee , my alliance buddy quickly started to tame him ,while i killed the the huntress lions that came near him. It didn,t take long for the whole process to complete so when we both turned around to leave with his new pet,we walked straight into a horde troll that was watching us the whole time! I quickly typed in "Uh oh" and we were busted.The troll that was watching us just stood there and said " ................?" Meanwhile my troll ran to the alliance and blew him a kiss. The horde that was watching then spat on my alliance boyfriend. but didn,t try anything else. Just like Romeo and juliette, I thought .I guess I,m a traitor now lol .

Comment by 182631

Tamed this guy for my Alliance hunter he is very pretty!

Comment by 146327

To the night elf who wants echey, if you are not on a pvp server ( where you can only have one faction per account)
Then level up a horde toon to 13-14. It does not take long.
Once you have the quest, take your NE and park her/him at
the spot where you will summon echey with your horde toon.

Once you summon, log out and then log in your NE.
You can tame from the rock above the lair. Echey will still be there unless someone kills him. In that case abandon and take again.
Of course, if you have 2 accounts, you can do it that way.

If all else fails and you are on a PvP server, then go to your realm forums and place a post asking if anyone on horde side can help you.
Since all classes can get the quest, you may have some good
luck.
I know I have the quest open on my BE on shadow council an and I used it to tame him for my BE hunter.
I also have the quest open on my horde shaman for the
Sian-Rotam, who is the same skin cat, but level 60.
I kept it open ( did not complete it) so that I could summon the cat for Elsah,my dwarf hunter.
That cat is now 70 and still beautiful.
I have done (begun) the quest for other hunters who want the cat.

Then there is humar! You know I used to see a lot of him, but now I don't as much.
Same cat, but all black.

You also receive 87 Thunder Bluff reputation for this. This information is primarily for people who are grasping at thin air trying to get Thunder Bluff Exalted. I really need sleep -_-'.

Comment by 94309

Interestingly enough, they still have not changed the punctuation error present in this quest's description. One sentence misses a full stop:

His lair is northeast of the Crossroads, among the bones of giant Kodo

when it clearly should be

His lair is northeast of the Crossroads, among the bones of giant Kodo.

Comment by Marsher

rly easy just kill lions around bones before using a horn

Comment by 314581

To those suggesting that alliance post on forums asking for horde to help them out, if on a pvp server:

Another easy way would be to setup a trial account and create a horde on the same server as you.

Log both accounts once you have the quest & summon the cat, tame it, and then do whatever you want. Even gank your own character if you like.

A long way round of doing it but still, its another option for you.

Comment by BlueLeopard

Hello, Uhmmm what shall i do, because i've accepted the quest, and i've been to the lair, Used the horn thing, and then i died, and i went back there and he was gone,

What shall i do? ( and i dont have the horn anymore )

Comment by 368988

I dunno about this one bein' so easy. The respawn rate of the surrounding mobs is friggin' ridiculous! My lvl 15 shammy knocked out 3 prowlers, looted them, and then had to beat down another that spawned amongst their corpses just as i put the horn to my lips to blow! Killed him and Echeyakee, then as I turned towards the road, a newly spawned prowler slapped me dead from behind. Be careful and eat your food and drink your potions!

Comment by 458881

I tamed this beauty and named im SilverMist, he's a great pet and my fav yet.

Comment by 502605

the damn thing isnt there.. does it rarely spawn there or what?

Comment by Achloryn

Now, like an idiot, I didn't read the quest log, so when I moused over the horn and it said to blow it at his lair, I was expecting a cave enterence or something.. No, it's a cluster of bones on the ground.. Coordinates by the original commenter are accurate..

@bulomaz, he's not a rarespawn.. you get a horn to summon him when you take the quest.

Comment by stenova

The other mobs do respawn within seconds, so clearing the area seems rather pointless. However, climb the hill next to the lair, just a little bit. It gets you out of the mobs' way and allows you to keep an eye on them. Wait for the patrolling one to pass, summon Echeyakee and kill him. At this point I was attacked by another mob, but my mage didn't mind fighting one mob at a time.

Comment by Tigerstar214

Me and my friend Feraline play on Steamwheedle Cartel. We both have 42 Hunters and wanted to tame this epic pet. We grouped on our Hordes and did the quest chain. When all four characters were grouped up where Echeyakee spawns I summoned him. Unfortunately Feraline's pet decided that he didn't want to be replaced and one-shot Echeyakee…

Comment by 266775

The quest in winterspring is for both factions, and Eche is white not grey.

Comment by 447186

In Cataclysm, Echeyakee has a new spawn location at 44,47 in the new zone of the Northern Barrens. As the new zone is roughly half the size of the old, all or the old co-ords will now be significantly wrong.

Comment by PocketFox

After the Shattering, this quest has changed. Now you can "slay OR subdue" Echeyakee... meaning young hunters wanting their white lion pet will be able to kill two birds with one stone! I tested this myself while working on Loremaster on my 80, and yes, taming Echeyakee will give you credit for the quest. :)

Comment by fredd13

Echeyakee's lair has moved, but you can still blow the horn at his old location without getting the "requires Echeyakee's lair" error. So don't do what I did, and go stand in the old spot blowing the horn uselessly and wondering why he doesn't turn up; read the quest instead.

Comment by 725535

exact coord's for Lair 45.3,47.8

Comment by 426972

There is one pre-requisite quest - Huntress Claws. I did the Zherva hoofs at the same time (both quests 100% drop rate) - but after I turned it in able to get the horn to summon him.

Comment by Kurasu

I actually completed this quest while standing on the skull and tame beast'ing him. The tame went to 100%, he evaded it in the end, but I still got the credit for the subdual. Still had to jump down and tame him properly to get him as a pet, though. ;)

Comment by tresrottn

He is indeed at 44,47. The "lair" is merely verbiage....lol, I spent hours this morning looking for a blasted cave in the mountain. I must have killed 150 huntress lions just ambling around looking for a "lair" to appear. I made my level 19 just killing those stupid cats.

I finally got to where I was blowing that stupid horn all over the area, killing lions, blowing horn, yada. I then found this forum and found out he could be tamed...w00t, I am in. I am superior elite kitty cat killar now, I felt comfy enough to stable my boar and give taming this big guy a try.

Again with the searching around all over the place (killing lions left and right), I even climbed dreadmist mountain to look at the place from a distance to see if I was missing it. I was frustrated and went *inside* the bones to give myself a break, and blew the horn there....poof, there he is, tearing me up, along with his kitty lady pals...I tamed, and subdued him, then I died...ROFL.

I raced back, and he was still subdued, and I tried to tame, but got killed again and he was gone when I got back the second time. I abandoned the quest, and went back and accepted it again.

Learning from my mistakes, I killed the huntresses, raced to the bones and put my back to the mountain and blew the horn. He just appears, all flowing like, and to see him coming visible is really a pretty sight! I hit the taming again and subdued him again, of course, he killed me again...LMAO! I raced back, made sure he was highlighted first, then accepted the resurrection and hit him with taming. I was so freaked out, I just kept hitting the button....and wow..I got him! He wasn't happy during the whole taming thing, and beat the krap out of me again to demonstrate it. But, I lived, and that made it count ;)

I still can't believe it. He's a pretty cool looking kitty, all grey and looking so different from all the vivid, bright colors of everything here. He can do that stealth mode thingy pretty nicely, too! He is actually lower leveled than my boar is, so we are gonna spend some time together killing krap ;). I hope it won't take too long to level him up to par.

Comment by 790503

turned my back to the mountains where the questfinder told me to go and it worked. Tamed and conquered. :)

Comment by Clousy

For me, dinging 12 and doing Hunting the Huntress didn't open it - but after doing The Zhevra, it opened. (Did it on my Troll so I could log into my Dorf and tame him)

Comment by 823746

Just tamed this beauty and got credit for "subduing" the beast.

Comment by 329137

The quest text was re-written after the Shattering to suggest that taming him would give you credit for the quest. However, they seem to have changed the quest itself back again. When I did the quest yesterday on my Orc hunter, I didn't get quest credit for taming Echeyakee.

It's possible that I just didn't wait long enough for the quest completion credit to show up-- but I probably waited half a minute or more while we killed some of the quickly-spawning lionesses. Then I blew the horn again, and fought Echeyakee with my new white lion pet. It wasn't until I killed him that I got credit for the quest.

Either way, it's no big deal, just wanted people to know what to expect.

Comment by 878161

Correct coords = 45/47
Picture is still correct.
Other descrptions are inaccurate.
Go north from Crossroads and hang a left.

Comment by Desertcobra

He is a beautiful cat, and make me wish I had a hunter instead of a rogue. Alas, mayby next time.

He does spawn at 44 47, then runs to the bones at 45 47.8. Since i vanished immediately after blowing my horn, he couldn't see me when he got to the bones. He actually looked confused and looked all around trying to find me -- rofl. Easy kill, what a waste!

Comment by FuryWar

It IS, indeed, possible to complete the quest to kill him and tame him as well, because the summoning horn can be used more than once, thankfully. So, if you are a young Hunter looking to finish the quest as well as tame him, summon him, kill him, then summon him again & tame him! It can get a bit annoying with Huntresses spawning all around shortly after you've killed them all, but it is definitely possible, as I've just finished the quest and tamed him tonight.

Comment by koldhara

when you first arrive, you must first do The Zhevra and Hunting the Huntress quests first before you get this one.

Comment by Rozzie

I just tamed this handsome guy and don't understand why I didn't get credit for the quest. Isn't taming a form of subduing? Has anyone gotten credit after taming him?

Comment by 137218

Fellow hunters

As an hunter addict i always prefer not to complete this quest and stand able to summon this epic pet whenever i want.

Just dont accept quest from X-roads.

Move to Ratchet instead and grab this quest
Doing this you can avoid 1st 2nd and 3rd parts of the chain.No good rewards at all.

Now you can safely continue questline without finishing 1st step and loosing Horn of Echeyakee forever.

Dont forget to abandon quest after taming him.

Longest of the long shots :)

Comment by theraafa

If you're here because you don't know where to find Echeyakee itself on 5.3, don't worry. You can check it on map or use the coordinates 47.77, 44.40 to find this fellow creature.

Keep on mind that it will only be there during 5.3. Most probably it will go back to its common location on 5.4 again.

Comment by squiretoad

I went to call Echeeyakee, and his old lair was replaced with a Kodo Corral, part of the latest enhancements. Blizz moved Echeeyakee's Lair (the bones that marked it) to a new location about 200 meters NE from where it used to be. New location is just to the right of a mountain at 47.8, 44.0, NW of the intersection of the Gold Road and the road to Far Watch Post. (There's a guard tower at that intersection.) The bones are there, just like before .. and it doesn't seem to have a bunch of lions hanging around like it used to. I just called Echeeyakee, everything is working fine.

Comment by Terule

This quest changed in the 5.3 patch. Now u can find the lair this place (47.8,44.0)

Comment by ArtisticSixx

Coordinates for the NEW Echeyakee spot are 47.7, 44.0. It was moved due to Blizzard's placing of a Kor'Kron outpost MoP, or 5.4 whatever you wanna call it.

The new spot is North East from its original spot, to get to it, walk out the Eastern entrance and take a left, you'll find it over a hill.

Comment by Tirrimas

Since Garrosh decided to turn Echeyakee's former Lair into a meat processing plant, it seems the white lion has moved house to 47.8, 44.0. You're looking for a couple of large skeletons near the intersection of the road from Org and the North Gold Road leading to the Crossroads, just south of Dreadmist Camp. They're within sight of the guard tower there.

Clear any hostile huntresses, stand within those skeletons and use the horn. Echeyakee will leap at you.

When you turn the quest in, the questgiver now gives a zone-wide shout congratulating you.

Comment by 1210111

Important to note you must do "Hunting the Huntress" Hunting the Huntress and "The Zhevra" The Zhevra before you will see this quest - they are short and easy to do.

and as of Jan 11, 2014, the correct coords are 47,44 NOT 44,47 as some others have posted.

I tried taming him at level 13 and again at level 14. Both said he was too high level to tame. I was able to tame at level 15.

Comment by Aubkabob

For fellow hunters:

As of today (12/10/17), can confirm that summoning him and taming him now counts for "conquering" him and receiving quest credit. Thanks, Blizz!

Comment by nervinv2

As of 2018 February, taming the beast won't give credit, however you can tame him, blow the horn again then kill him.

Submitting a bug while you do the quest also helps (maybe).

Edit: a bit more than 2 years later still bugged.

Comment by Jevnaker

i really wish all quests like this that asks you to target a named beast would be completable by taming the quest target.

Comment by Rutt

Tameable on lvl 15. Also, with taming you don't complete q, but it's easy enough to just summon him again and it's not a big deal fight anymore. And also, if you summon and log off, he stays there so you can tame him with your own Alliance parked at the spot. I tamed him 4 times before finally killing him and completeing quest.
