Sharpbeak is located all the way inside Jintha'Alor

Jintha'Alor is extremely hard (Bring a level 60) and is full of elites.

Kommentar von 6107

Me (lvl 54 Warrior) and a lvl 54 pally completed this quest without wiping...mobs are spread out, and easy to draw off one by one..only once had to fight more than one at a time. If you watch Hexx, you'll notice that she walks around, making it to draw her off by herself as well. All in all, didn't find it difficult at all. When going through Jintha'Alor, look for alternate routes past mobs if you want. Found quite a few corners we could jump, making the path to Sharpbeak much easier.

Kommentar von 29583

If you are REALLY lazy make 2 or 3 corpse runs and you can resurrect next to Sharpbeak with out having 2 kill anyone. I completed this at level 47 :)

Kommentar von 1337Druid

Sharpbeak is in the cave just north of the altar with only two guards in front of it.

Kommentar von 11002

When you get to the top of Jintha'Alor, take a left and go threw the doorway and into an arena type place. Clear the area. Then wait for the princess to go her patrol. then pick off the guards. Once the guards are down, take out the princess.

Don't forget to create your ZF mallet if you have the item for it.

Then, go back to the stairs u came up, and to the right of them you will see a cave with two guards. Take out the guards, go threw the cave and lock the cage. Then just jump off the cliff (carefully).

Kommentar von 36923

After you´ve completed the quest, just return to flightmaster in Aerie Peak and collect your price.

Kommentar von 30936

The cage is at 53, 66 to be exact.

Kommentar von salad

I did this quest on my hunter and sharpbeak got out of the cage and flew away wth his parents............i did it on my priest and he didnt budge.......why'd he die!I wanted a hallmark moment!

Kommentar von 63590

lolz, i dont really know...he flew out of his cage when i did it..

Kommentar von Catalyze

The above comments are great. Remember as the one poster said, take the Zul Furak mallet to the altar if you need to complete it. My only comment is that this quest ending is the best cut scene in the game. I still get a lump in my throat every time Sharpbeak's parents arrive and say thank you. Maybe it's a "girl" thing, but it's like a happy ending to a Disney movie. I give it 5 Stars....a must see.

Kommentar von Shockna

And as we all know, this quest no longer gives reputation with the Wildhammer Clan, as that faction no longer exists.

Kommentar von 48863

where is Jintha'Alor?

Kommentar von 80928

Buena quest te dan 7350 de xp..aunque un poco dificilñ la hice con un grupo en el que iban un mago 49, hunter 52, un druida 58 y un priest 60 shadow

Kommentar von 93467

speak to the Gryphon Master Talonaxe to complete the quest and get your reward

Kommentar von 96055

wtf. I just finished the quest and the items i can get arent blue and not that good

Kommentar von 96054

Mcjables as of 2.3 they will change the stats you see listed here are what the new stats will be.

Kommentar von 58972

Just Finished this quest with my lvl 52 pally and not only did this solo but also got the hammer to do ZF but it gives you 10600 exp on icecrown sever

Kommentar von 17624

I make a point of completing this quest on all my characters because :

Spoiler!
Spoiler!
Spoiler!

- of the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you free the little gryphon cub and his parents fly down and thank you.

Apparently, way back when, it used to end with sharpbeak having already been killed, but blizzard had a change of heart and gave it the current ending.

Kommentar von Urbanmech

Got 10600 xp at level 50 for this quest. Vile Priestess Hexx is a pain if you are solo without any stuns. she constantly hexs and shadow word pains you, and heals herself. I finally killed her because she healed first instead of hexing. took 4 tries

Kommentar von semsic

you should take the quest: The ancient egg (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=4787) before you go

Kommentar von 104192

This quest awards 10600 XP at lvl 51

Kommentar von 102453

When you get there, And by When I mean, It's quite a trip up to the top. The Coodinates of The Vile Priestess Hexx is 59,78.
* on another note. If you are under lvl 45-48 Get some help. Even at 50 it's not that easy.

Kommentar von 103439

Soloed as a 50 beast Hunter, np, never even came close to dieing,

Kommentar von Toldry

DO NOT EAT SHARPBEAK

Kommentar von 63996

Just solo'd her as a 47 feral druid, wasn't easy cuz I had to heal, and right when I changed to caster form she hexed me twice. I had to drink a pot, then go bear form and kill her. It was a long fight, and I waited till she was low on health and was going to heal herself to use bash and stun her. Then she ran away and it was an easy kill from there..

Kommentar von 130134

I just soloed this quest on my 46 rogue... Granit i stealthed all the way to Hexx and then took out the two gaurds on each side as she walked away then took her down as i kept her kicked and stunned... Overall this quest has nice rewards for the difficulty... took me all of 20 min to do this..

Kommentar von 67958

Fought her 3 times, I dont know if they changed this but she kept me froggied the whole time while beating on me. If you have this problem, do what I did and bring a friend, she can only he one person at a time. Hope this helps.

Kommentar von 132717

can anyone post the coords for the priestess having trouble finding her

Kommentar von 132303

The Vile Priestess Hexx spawns at the Altar where Elder Torntusk is laying. The co-ords are are 59, 77. It is the same Altar that you create the Mallet of Zul Farrak. Note the cage for sharpbeak is not at this altar, you come to the altar first, and fight her for Hexx's Key.

If you show up and she is not there, someone has killed her before you, just wait and she will re-spawn in about 5-10 mins.

I did this solo and didn't have to touch any guards around the arena. She does polymorph you, and curse you, but as a druid I HoTed myself then DoTed her then went feral to avoid her polymorphing me. She did heal herself halfway through the first health bar. At this point I HoTed myself again and repeated the same process.

Note, she does run away when she is at about 10% health, just like the other trolls in the area... so if you don't get her fast you might have a few extra mobs to fight.

Once you get the key, you go get sharp beak by exiting the arena and staying on the top level of the temple and going through the cave with two lvl 50 guards by 53, 66.

Note there are no guards or mobs in with sharpbeak, and I was able to stealth past the guards and open his cage with no issue.

PS. you will want to stay for a few moments for sharp beak to 'chirps a goodbye to...' because you get to see something kinda cute. ;)

Kommentar von 144124

Solo'd Hexx as a lvl 50 disc/holy nelf priest. I used sw: pain, starshards, shield, renew and psychic scream. I juggled instant casts on her and myself as often as possible between being frogged and her healing. I used psychic scream whenever it was off cool-down and while she was feared I mana burned her so she would be unable to heal herself. It was nerve-wracking and sucked. Bring a 70 instead.

Kommentar von 140815

Hey Guys this cage took me ages to find so i thought this may help good luck :P
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/maps=47:531660

Kommentar von 153546

Fighting Hexx can be annoying, but i soloed as a 47 rogue by continually tapping kick as i came out of frogdom and fighting for a few seconds before i fought again.... rinse and repeat.

Kommentar von 109170

there is no horde equivalent for both pieces of gear....

Kommentar von Valid

While this quest may look very menacing, in reality it is not that hard. Make your way up to the top of Jinth'Alor. The mobs are only levels 46-49 so if you can get this quest you should be able to take the mobs out easily. Once you reach the top I suggest killing the wolf right below the altar ] and also killing the guard on the right of her. If you have bleeds or dots I'd suggest using them. Managed to solo her on a 46 Feral Druid after a few deaths of not pulling the wolf // guard.

Kommentar von 86477

warrior lvl 50
got to hit her 17 times in total;
she keeps you hexed with swp the entire fight and heals herself
either im unlucky about the way she fights for 3 times in a row or this shoud really br a group quest.
unabel to touch her

Kommentar von GameSeneschal

The first thing I want to point out is that while it may be nice to be able to get the ZF mallet made while you are here...
It seems unlikely that people will intentionally blow off half of ZF to come back here for the mallet just because later quests bring them here anyway.
***THE 4TH QUEST IN THE CHAIN PUTS YOU MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGH THE INSTANCE***

It is a much better course of events to get help from some friends (or any high level character) when doing the prequest
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=2989
and go over & make your ZF mallet then.
then later when you have completed
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=2991
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=2992
and have obtained
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=2993
check your log for
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=3661
and
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=4787

If you get those quests (Hopefully you did the prequests to the Ancient Egg since 1 of them is also in ZF) before heading to the Hinterlands you can make the most of the EXP gains from doing a few quests in the area at the same time.

As for fighting the priestess... classes like rogues who can stun 3-4 different ways and interupt spells (with kick) should be able to take her out with little to no trouble if they kill the adds before going for her. Everyone else has to think carefully about the attack plan. Maybe a mage would hit hard with a 3sec cast spell then an instant cast or 2, followed by a well timed counterspell. Hunters have pets for a reason (use Omen so you don't steal agro) and Viper Sting is always a good 1st attack against mana using mobs. Shamans have Earth Shock for both good damage & spell interuption, Searing Totem, Healing (or mana) Totems, Grace of Air, Gift of Naru(just b4 first attack) and treat it like a tank & spank. I haven't gotten my other toons high enough to give more advice for other classes, but I am sure there are tricks & each can put to their advantage with a little planning ahead.

***Please note that every toon I have used for this has been level 46 or below and done solo; because after you have the mallet few people feel compelled to help get through this temple for other quests.***

Kommentar von 155153

Solo'd the entire chain as a lvl 49(started a lvl 45, went through some levels) enhance shaman. to kill Hexx, I used lightning bolt twice, and then stormstrike, and earthshock. Also threw a Grounding totem down when she came to me. She went down fast.
The last part was annoying because I didn't have drinks, so I pretty much ran past all the mobs, dieing a lot. I was about to quit it because I couldn't kill Hexx. After I did, it was so worth it, the ending made me smile. :)

Kommentar von xelixi

very easy as a rogue just stunlock her much and you will be able to do this

did this at 49 subtlety rogue

Kommentar von 202865

I just got this quest, lvl 48 Rogue, and then I though to myself, hey lets try this and get that Pants. :D
This quest is logically possible to solo this quest for a Rogue that 48, because of the stealth, but the only problem that i faced was that SHE HEX Everytime you become un-hex.......
I mean, I got her life to 20%, then she hexed me. and healed. I was not !@#$ed cause that happens. I just kill her after that. But No, She just hexes me and shadow word......... froggy again.
This quest is not a solo quest, even after the patch, which made them non-elites, to any class except for hunters and warlocks. cause they have pets. and shamans, with the Grounding totem.
Just find someone and do this quest. good luck.

Just notice that lvl 49 did this by himself. I guess i didnt stun lock him enough to kill her. :P

Kommentar von 125637

extremly easy as a lvl 43 balance druid killed the priest also in the process

Kommentar von 157924

I solo'd this as 49 draenei priest, i started off by killing my way up, but its alot easy to just run up there on mount, and hope that they all leave you alone, ahah.
The boss is surrounded, to a minor degree, by 50's, but you can dodge them easiallly,
she goes into a cave at the back of the "arena" every now and then, when shes far enough away form the gurads, pull her to one side of the sacrificial circle, so the 48 lying down doesn't pull.
She's a pretty annoying boss, kileld me once, i ddint check my mana befor ei picked a fight with here, all she does is hex, minor debuff, and heal her self and then concuss and smack you when your hex'd, it gets really anonying, chances are the moment you come out of the hex, she'll do it again. I would say that if your anywhere lower than 46/7 you should get in a group :}

Kommentar von 229237

for a rogue what would be better choice?

Kommentar von flaiuk

i'm currently doing this quest on my 48 night elf. yes mounting your way up there is the easiest way, especially with a night elf for if you get to many mobs i recommend shadowmelding, waiting for it to cool down, then continuing untill you need to do the same again, i currently however am getting royally pwned each time i fight hexx for the polymorphing isn't giving me quite enough time to finish her off.

Kommentar von Stryker666

I think this quest should reward a feat of strength! It is such an epic questline with a happy ending!

Maybe a title or something. .... the Saviour or Sharpbeak .....

I always make sure i do this quest with my alliance alts!

Kommentar von 0liver

Very easy as a 48 feral drood. Mount all the way up, shadowmeld if u cant find a palce to leave combat, cat, prowl, and kill like any other mob. She could only heal once.

Kommentar von ResonantYaw

Should you be a Human Warrior, fear not. You can simply use the racial to get out of Polymorph. I killed Hexx as a L49 Arms Warrior. If you Charge her first and get a Mortal Strike off, things will be much easier. Generally, she'll Polymorph you about 4-5 seconds into the fight. If you do things right, you should be able to Rend, Mortal Strike, and Overpower her. Doing so will get her to almost 25%. Racial your way out of the Polymorph and slap Berserker Rage on just in case. Hexx will be smooth sailing by then.

Kommentar von 392341

soloed easly as a lvl 49 balanced druid... cat form prowled to the ampetheater at the top of jintha'alor fought her in moonkin form, i used starfire and only had to heal once. when u get the key go out the west gate and folo the road you will see a cavern enter the cavern at the end is sharpbeaks cage, once u open it carfully jump down the cliff and vwalla ur done hope this helped

Kommentar von 415506

Possible reference to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry & Co. were on a "mission" to save Buckbeak.

Kommentar von 441570

Hey would the leggings or the Hammer be better for my combat specced rouge?

Kommentar von DuskVictoria

I'm Level 48 Druid, I basically steathed myself into the cave and killed any of remains guards, and sat there waiting until she came into the cave, and I took her down with no problem, even though she was level 51 for me.

Then I sheath through the another cave between two guards and freed that poor baby sharpbeak. It was awesome.

Its not hard quest if you get sheath skill.

EDIT: Fixed my typo, thanks Sombritte

Kommentar von 111303

I giggled when it's parents came to pick baby sharpbeak home~ its cutee =p
its well worth doing this quest despite the trouble going up because I thought the pant was really nice for feral druids =] and the 10k xp surely is something too !

Kommentar von disinformatique

Easy 10500 XP and a nice weapon to vendor lol. did it at my lvl 55 warrior.

Kommentar von 486411

Solod as a level 43 enhancement shaman. I basically just got on my epic G mount and ran up as far as I could before dying then just did it again. I used my Mechanical Greench from the Christmas presents in Ironforge to dish out a few level 51s, including Hexx. I made my Mallet of ZF while I was there, then I just ran out the side, past the cave, and into that little waterfall by the edge of the cliff. Using my expert wall climbing skills, I scaled the cliffs to where I was above the cleft where Sharpbeak was. Making sure that the fall wasn't too much to kill me, I jumped down, freed Sharpbeak, then hearthed out of that Hellhole. Pretty cool imo.

Kommentar von 501817

i took the quest solo with my lvl 48 dwarf hunter, it went fine actualy.

Kommentar von PocketFox

Waitaminute. Is Sharpbeak's father named SwiftwinD or SwiftwinG? The starting quest calls him Swiftwing, but this one calls him Swiftwind. Make up your mind!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Make sure you have the "Ancient Egg" quest before you go to do this quest. Right behind the mob that gives you the key is the cave the ancient egg is in. Also you can enchant the mallet at the alter up here to make " Mallet of Zul'farrak" to summon Gah'zilla. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone (well 3). Plus you won't have to ever come up that maze of steps again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Owkay easy quest,

mount up, follow the road up the stairs. keep going up almost until the very top. You'll go up some stairs and see another set of stairs almost directly in front of you. Don't go up those. Instead go LEFT, through the little area with slimes and then up the stairs and follow the road. You'll come to a pit area with stairs leading down. The altar is at the bottom of this with Vile Hexx. make sure you pull her OFF the altar or else you have a good chance to aggro at least 1 of the adds on teh sides!

Hexx is @ 59 77

when you get the key, you can go to the cave with the cage (not the cave behind the altar), its through the north exit of the pit and has 2 guards infront of it which you can pull 1 by 1!

we did this quest we 3 lvl50's and the hardest part was to get up there but running is a good option.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It doesn't say so specifically in the quest, but you have to return to the quest-giver in aerie peak to claim the reward. Somewhat obvious, but perhaps not.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The entrance to the cave where Sharpbeak is held is at coordinates 57.68

Kommentar von Thottbot

Semi-easy quest if you can find a couple people to help.

Finding a couple people to help is the hardest part to this quest... Everyone in Gadget screams "LFG ZF need Mallet!" yet no one does this quest to get the mallet. Something is wrong with that *sigh*

Kommentar von Thottbot

Cave is at the cords 56,68, the cave is guarded by 2 elite mobs. cage is at 53,66 .there is no mobs near the cage. good luck now^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

First go to 59,77 and kill the priest to get the drop that will open the cage. We didn't have to take out the guards. Then make your way to the cave at 56,68. Once on the other side of the cave, you are home free and done fighting. Open the cage and turn the quest in at Gryphon Master Talonaxe in Aerie Peek. If you are this far into the game and don't have Cosmos, by all means get it! It makes it so much easier and enjoyable to play. It is very easy to install and easy to use.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Blizzard must have changed the program because now the parents come and Sharpbeak happily flies away with them... much better ending than what I read on here previously.

Kommentar von Thottbot

One of the early posts by Darkchild describes how to find the priestess, but here�s my recollection:

This troll place Jintha�Alor is built around a winding path that goes up some stairs, swings left, then up some more stairs, swings right, then more stairs and so on in that vein. Whether you hack your way through or go the suicide run (which I�ve never tried lol), keep going till the stairs and winding path stop. This will happen at the top of the final staircase and you�ll come to a T-intersection i.e. path splits left and right. Off to the right in the distance you�ll see a cave � Sharpbeak is at the end of this cave, but the priestess isn�t, you have to turn left and follow that path for half a minute to get to the priestess. She�s in the bottom of a pit/ amphitheatre and yes there is a chance you�ll get adds when you engage her.

Side note: There�s some dude on top of the altar near the priestess who only woke up when we attacked him directly. He was PvP so we flagged when we attacked him � something to watch out for if there are Horde in Jintha�Alor with you.

Side note 2: There is a cave behind the amphitheatre. This one is for the quest The Ancient Egg, not for Sharpbeak.

Once you get the priestess you return to the intersection and head into the cave you first saw from the top of the stairs. It�s guarded by two mobs but once inside we found nothing more threatening than a Ghost Mushroom spawn. You come out of the far end of the cave into an open-air ridge and Sharpbeak is in a cage as per the picture above.

A L52 Holy priest and I (L53 Arms warrior) opted to carefully chew our way through the mobs on the way up (we were only doing The Ancient Egg at the time). It was doable.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not the easiest thing to do but it is possible. First i soloed the mobs on top of the Alter of Zul to get the sacred mallet. Just MC Qiaga and let the other mob take it low, then break MC and kill it. Take off your gear and run into jintha alor, die and ghost run until you are at the alter. Rez and use the sacred mallet. Next you can rez off to the left(if you are facing the cave) and not aggro. there is a troll to your left if you face the alter from this point. MC him and run him into the 50 elite and Hexx, he should die and then you will. Run and rez again same spot, put your gear on, buff up, MC Hexx and let the 50 elite beat up on her, also use Hexx's shadow word pain on the 50 elite on the other side of the alter. 2 lv 50 elites should be attacking Hexx, when she is low...around 5%....break MC and throw shadow word pain on her, shield yourself as the 2 other elites will run at you, fear them and chase Hexx using more shadow word pains to give her the full 5 stack of shadow vulnerabilty, she should die before the fear wears off, run and loot her. At this point I ran into the cave behind the alter to do the Ancient Egg quest, as soon as you can find a place out of combat unequip your gear again. Get the egg then rez/run back out and go to the cave slightly north of the alter. This is sharpbeaks cave. I soloed all 3 things as a 48 shadow priest, it takes patience but its not too hard.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I HATE this quest.

No, let me clairify.

I HATE VIle Priestess Hexx! I've died....maybe, 5 times on her? 53 Feral Druid here, in decent gear. I've tried Pounce > Mangle > Shred, etc., I've tried caster form nuke, I've tried bear form stun + heal, and still, she always hits for 200-300, frogs me when I go into caster to heal, and kills me. Getting tired, and my repair bill is getting high...but those pants are just too damn good...

Kommentar von Thottbot

can you believe that yesterday i soloed (at lvl 51) all of jintha alor to get that dam mallet, then got this quest... never... again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I tried soloing this as a 49 bm hunter. No way in hell could I have finished it myself. I ended up getting help from 69 rogue and blew through it, but it is not solo-able below lvl 50. Nor would I imagine it be worthwhile to spend the time trying to beat it at any level less than 55.
Very difficult quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

SAVING SHARPBEAK

1. Go to "Jintha'Alor" and kill the enemies to get to the temple where Priestess Hexx is.
She's at lvl 51, at least when I killed her

2. Kill her and get her key "Hexx's Key"

3. Northwest from Priestess Hexx, you'll find a cave. To Trolls at lvl 51 is guarding here.

4. Go innside the cave to you get to the end.
Here you can see a cage who poor little Sharpbeak is innside. Use Hexx's Key and open up the cage.
Now Sharbeaks's partents will do the rest of the job.

5. Go back to Arie Peak, and talk to the Gryphon Master.

NOW YOU SHOULD BE FINISHED

Kommentar von Thottbot

After 2.3 this quest is now soloable below 50; I just did this on my 49 warrior. It was a pain with all of the hexes and whatnot, but if you can stun or fear her in between your toad phases, and pop a draenei heal or a healing potion, then you should be fine. I managed to kill her mainly using Mortal Strike and Rend so there would at least be one dot on her while I was hexed and she wouldn't be able to get her full heal. If you get a lucky crit in there, Deep Wounds is a great help.

Hope that helps. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Solo'ed this last night with my 52 Shaman in about 15 minutues (and probably could have done it at level 48+, too). Used a scroll of protection and stamina, and stayed mounted or ghost-wolfed, zig-zagging to avoid aggro until I hit some clear spots where I could fight trailing mobs and heal/rest. Died once after getting knocked off my mount, just made sure I went down in a good spot and reincarnated.

Hexx was cake, first cleared some mobs around the altar and waited for her to wander back on her own. Dropped a Tremor Totem (not sure if it was needed) and Earth Shock'ed for spell interrupts.

Received a very nice windfury-friendly slow mace and 10,600 xp upon completion (patch 2.3 ftw).

Kommentar von Thottbot

Solo'd Saving Sharpbeak tonight as a 48 Demonology Warlock. It was a sweaty-palm run, died once. The guide and coord's are spot on from previous posts. Locks seem to be pretty tough with a VW and no other scrolls. Just gotta be careful you don't pull too many...but thats the general rule.

The birdie was sweet, gave me the cheesy little chirp, pooped on the rail and flew happily off into the setting sun.

So, now its back to get the damn ancient egg tomorrow. Dang...should have read the whole post and saved myself a run.

Kommentar von Thottbot

They are very easy. They are no longer elites. used to be a pain to get a group over there. Just soloed as 52 rogue. had two guards and the princess on me and lived with more than half health. side note: those looking for purple lotus, this place is full of it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Aww i saved him, SO CUTE! i agree with everyone who said its like a walt disney ending and he chirped at me... was so cute, was well worth dying twice and almost dying again :] Wootage for sharpbeak may he live with his family happily forever! ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ive had this last part of the chain in my list for a while, guess i was too lazy to work my way up and finish. Ive killed Hexx 7 times now and no key, if i remember right, first time i went up, a group had already killed her. any comments?

Kommentar von Thottbot

i dont know if it worked for anyone else but i just mounted and ran all the way up. lucky for me someone had cleared out some of the mobs, not all, but a couple. lvl 50 protection pally btw

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ez solo'd as level 50 rogue

Kommentar von Thottbot

YOU GUYS ARE TERRIBLE if you complain about this being tough... or maybe Blizz changed the quest.
Lvl 48 druid, shadowed it all the way up, found Hexx, entangled twice while she frogged me, healed every time i could, then went cat and beat the crap out of her... used starfire to aggro her from her helpers at start... she didnt take off 300 damage like people said, only about 90 a hit which was nothing big at all... and her health went by QUICK with my feral spec

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is another touching event in the game in addition to "Peace At Last!".

If you're into tear-jerkers, do this quest sometime. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

hah i just did this alone it was a cakewalk

lv 49 druid, stealthed my way thru most the mobs (only to save time) then killed hex, got her key, and just go out the north exit and thru the cave its soooo easy

Kommentar von Thottbot

wow i just did this quest a few seconds ago after looking at thottbot for the same quest ,u all say u got people to help you, well im A 51 rogue and she attacked me first and i still killed her, but her dot killed me...so i guess i own

Kommentar von Thottbot

OK It would be nice to get some clear direction to the damn bird! I am so stuck its not even funny! I dont have coords, and i am grouping because i am only 44 bal druid! But theyve never done this quest and WE ARE SO SCREWED!

Kommentar von Thottbot

49 Shadow priest, bit of a mission getting up to hexx but after that carefully pulled her away from adds for a easy kill. No ellites, no deaths.

Easy solo able!

For everyone having trouble finding sharpbeak's cage, it is through a cave on the same level as the priestess, just the opposite side. (After you take care of the priestess, exit the amphitheater and go a bit north while staying on the same level) The cave is hard to miss.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Is it necessary to do the whole chain to receive this quest? I heard the chain is broken. Anyone explain?

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a lv 47 I soloed this thing easily. I don't know why everyone is worrying about getting 2 lv 52's to do their bidding because I even tried bringing a 42 up with me and that was fine. Just don't attract more than one enemy at a time, kill as less as possible, and try to get to the top by sneaking past them. Priestess is only like lv 52, just take out the wolves around her and fight her, go back to the intersection, fight past the lv 50 NON ELITES guarding the cave and you have an eagle cat thing in a cage and a key in your hand.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm doing this quest at lvl 48 and i cant kill that freakin Priestess, I'm gonna need more people so grouping for this is a MUST!...if u wanna succeed faster.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am a level 47 Hunter, and I managed to finish this Quest without big problems...

To get to the Hexx, you can run into the Overlook Cliffs to skip the first steps and enemies.

Then mount and run towards Hexx. Because you might be kicked off the mount, just run further and stay close to the wall on the west side. You will die, but when you come near your body keep going and approach your body on the other side of the wall, which is closer to the Hexx and resurrect.

The most important hint here is the area near Hexx. Behind Rexx is a cave. On both sides are stone snakes. On the right side, you can run behind the torch and the snake, and stay there to regain some health. There the npcs wont touch you, but you wont be able to deal damage either. If having a pet, dismiss it, otherwise it will be stuck when you jump back. Pull the NPC in the entrance of the cave first. Then you can kill Hexx. But don't forget to call your pet again once you jumped into the fight again.

When finished there, mount and run towards another cave to the north. Forget those npcs, just get into the cave. At the other end of the cave, you'll find our beloved bird Sharpbeak.

Release it, wave goodbye, and jump down from there. But be careful, it's a long jump and might have to be done in two smaller steps.

Don't forget to pick up your reward! If you can't use either of them, pick the mace. It sells better to a vendor.

KJ.

Kommentar von Thottbot

hm.. not too had of a q.
I'm a lvl 46 hunter soloing this with pretty crappy gear too -> the lowest is for lvl 35..
It did take me a while to get finished,
but killing the priestess was easy, didnt die ones.
And to get to the cage to release the bird -> just run most of the way and than feign death..
No big trouble at all ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I soloed this no prob with my lvl 47 fury warrior, And hes even useing a 2 hander.... No mob even took me below half. Killed that dumb hexx lady and saved the bird, got the mace and now i can duel weild:) Nice reward for an ez quest!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Sharpbeak is to the right of the cave that is behind Vile Priestess Hexx. Not the one behind her. That is for Acient Egg quest. If your lost and you find Vile Priestess Hexx, head north. You will goto another cave on same altitude terrain. The cave has a couple mobs in front of it, but you need to go through the cave (no mobs inside) and to the other side. You will find sharpbeak :)

Heh, I solo'd this at level 47 as a hunter. Hex was a REALLY easy fight, all I did was send my pet in, attack, then when he was polymorhped, i'd feign death. I died twice getting up to hex but other then that it was easy as pie. And the pants are godly. :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This was honestly the easiest quest I've done in a long time as a lvl 50 Feral Druid, well one that didnt just involve "talk to so and so"
I was lvl 50 a little higher than some of you guys, I just stealthed in past all the Mobs (hit a fire once fought 3 of them)
Wait till she comes to the middle of the alter if you fight her here NOONE will come to her aid.
She was so easy I seriously didnt even get a scratch. Pounce (she's stunned) hit her with a few claws and a rake, she wakes up to ferocious bite...she's dead. (got lucky with some crits but still too easy)

ps. all cords were right go find the bird out past the stairs and through the cave to the left.
Hexx 59,77
Bird Cage 53,67

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if you are a rogue u can easy solo this quest at lvl 52... first defeat the priest 51 elite, she's not very hard, just use evasion, potion and its okay...

after get the key, u will have to go into the cave, the entrance is 57,68!

there is just 2 guards near the entrance, but after that 2, the cave is clean...

you can also solo the quest of Ancient egg, go inside the cave where the Priest Hexx is.. inside the cave there will be 3 guards elite around the Egg...

you just have to Sap 1, then Blind another, gouge the last 1.. and very fast open the Egg and get the quest item, then u just have to use Vanish! :)

did this 2 quests solo lvl 52 rogue^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got up to the Priestess and killed her 4 times and she didn't drop the key. I then went up to Sharpbeak's cage and he is dead! Any idea what happened to this quest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo Priest at 48 lvl mage . Pyroblast,fireball,fireblast them he try to heal himself. Cast counterspell and finished him easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found this to be very simple to solo as a lvl 51 mage. The coordinates are dead on; I simply rode my mount all the way through the mobs until I reached the coordinates for princess Hexx. I waited outside of the range of any other mobs until the princess walked my direction and then attacked. With my water elemental she was not a problem at all, even when I was changed to a frog.

Then, like was said previously, there are no guards or anything at the cage, I simply let sharpbeak out and then used my slow fall spell to jump off the cliff so I didn't have to go back through all the stairs and such again.

I received 10600 points for this quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I still think the easiest class to kill her is a Druid.
The fact that when we are shapeshifted means we cant be
affected by PolyMorph and stuff, plus you can heal up if you want.

Soloed here at lvl 49 as a Feral Cat Druid.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This got me 7900 XP and a great increase in my Wildhammer Clan reputation.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What's her respawn time?

Considering camping her arse for that Dagger :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the cage loc is 53 / 67 for thous who are havin a hard time just kill the 2 guards outside the cave.. single pulls and sharp tooth is at the back in a cage.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Terrible rewards for a hunter: Maces: Hunters can't use, and the leggings? They sure give 20 agility! But wait, what's this? alevel 20-25 quest gives 18 agility? AND stamina!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Had no problem as a 48 rogue. Had DOT poisons on, and hit her with garrote. she was really squishy and i only had to kick once to interrupt her heals. she didn't polymorph me until running away, and even then the poison and garrote finished her off before I even changed back. she was very squishy. I recommend any DOTs your class has, since the polymorph essentially stops your regular attacking.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Damn it pisses me off that she hexes me and then uses her shadow powers.
Right after I used my Insignia of the Alliance she used hex again. /cry.

what are the coord for the priestess. i wandered around a bit but got lost. where is she?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hexx is at 59.77

Cage is 53.67

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It doesn't say so specifically in the quest, but you have to return to the quest-giver in aerie peak to claim the reward. Somewhat obvious, but perhaps not.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What are the coords for this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this at 49 as a shadow priest with the help of a 49 BE pally. Pretty easy now that they aren't any elites. We killed her once for the hordie and once for me. After we killed her, we bubbled, mounted, and ran toward the cage. There's nothing to kill by the cage and no adds spawn when you open the cage. All and all, pretty easy after 2.3. I could have solo'd this with no issues, but it goes quicker with someone else. There's just a lot of stuff to clear to get to where you need to be.

The co-ords are correct.

Exp gained for turning in this portion: 10600 at lvl 50 (ding'd while I was doing the quest)

Two blue item choices. I picked Gryphon Rider's Stormhammer.
Mace
66-124 dmg
2.70 speed (35.2 dps)
+8 strength
Chance to hit: blasts a target for 91 to 125 Nature damage.

I don't remember what the other item was.

Also got 2g and some silver. That mace sells to the vendor for 2g68s.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

rogues able to pickpocket the key from her? would be nice...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried to solo this mission with a level 52 rogue and found myself turned into a frog and beaten to death on the occasions I tried it. In spite of potions and evasion I was killed quite easily by this 51st level troll. Perhaps a great how to guide would be all the information regarding the 52nd level rogue who managed to succeed where I failed, I would like to know his armor class, agility and stamina stats as well as whatever buffs or other magical protections he used in this quests completion.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Stunlocked her face....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed it the best way to...

Get ur lvl 70 to clean out all the trash, and leave her for ur guy to attempt...She's still tough with all the hexing crap, but atleast you don't have to worry about adds...I had fun smashing their puny asses.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hexx is tough - the polymorph is instant cast - no way to counter or stun in time..

Tried solo with 54 rogue - kill the guards is easy, sap or atract to no agroo zone..

But Hexx.. she polymorph one time after another.. no time to strike back!
Even with insignia trinket, just 1x polymorph can be undone..

Someone use a good tactic solo against?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy as a 49 rogue, could stealth all the way in without wasting time on the mobs.
Hexx were tough though, thx to her hex... First time i tried i aggroed 4 mobs and got hexxed all the time, that time i barely landed a blow... :S

Coords are allright, and the reward were nice for a rogue! :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This IS the worst quest / worst b*itch in the game... as a lvl 49 tonight she killed me 6 times... 5th time i had her down to 10% before she ran away and healed, came back and hexxed me and killed me again... its BS! the 6th time i dont think i landed a hit in because it was hexx after hexx after hexx... btw Horde have a quest at the same spot to save some Troll... during one of my deaths (not by the Horde) a party of 5(!) were there doing their quest... 5! thought that was weak....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Once you get the key off the priestess, where is the cage?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just soloed as a 48 Rogue.
Used CS SS Rupture and stacked poisons before she could poly, blinded for a few more hits and made sure to break her heal... she is rather squishie if you can get a few hits on her. Can't say for sure how other classes would solo but if you can get some dots on her and some luck she isnt too hard.... dont see how evasion would help.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Annoying to Solo her, but completely doable as low as lvl48 for Prot Paladin (thats when I did it at least).

She was a lvl51 non-elite, with fairly low health, her melee attack is weak compared to the trolls around her, she has SW:P like the Shadow Hunters in the area, and she has a long cast time Heal that takes roughly a 4th of her mana that she uses at ~30% health that brings her almost back to 100%.

Sounds like a 30 sec fight right? Well...She can do one more thing...Turn you into a frog (even when you are soloing her), which is a 10 sec "fear" type CC that doesn't break on damage, ever. She also can and most of the time DOES chain cast it on you. You spend 95% of this fight running around the floor as a useless frog.

Ok, so I didn't bother judging anything on her since you hit her so little its just wasted mana, I just judged Righteousness to start the fight. She frogs and then beats on me (getting ret aura dmg), and every 10 secs I just judge Righteousness again before she re-frogs me (sometimes even getting 1-2 strikes in with my weapon, If I was lucky), every minute I stunned and got 5 secs of free beatdown on her. After about 4 frog sessions I pop a potion during the downtime because my health is down to around 35%. She uses heal while I'm frogged.

Basically this situation repeats three more times (I end up popping Divine Shield+Holy Light and another Potion) until she has no mana - Then in the final "phase" instead of healing (because she has no mana) she runs away - making it super easy for me to finish her pitiful life.

Sad what could be a simple trash kill turns into an almost 6 Minute fight because Blizzard decided that Warlocks Fear-Chaining people in BGs wasn't cool enough...they had to put in an NPC that could do it even more efficiently (because of no Diminishing Returns) >_<

Kommentar von Harquin

You need to kill Üble Priesterin Hexx to loot the key to open Sharpbeak's Cage.

This is a tough fight, as she hex's you into a frog, and then beats you down, and the damage does not break the hex.

I'd recommend picking up a Regenerationstrank

This was how I managed to solo her on my level 55 combat rogue, after a failed attempt trying to keep her stunned and kick her spell casts.

She patrols between the altar and the entrance of the cave. I killed the add in the cave entrance when she went to the altar, and then took her on alone when she patrolled back.

I used deadly poison (mainhand), and mind numbing poison (offhand) to slow her casts.

I opened with a cheap shot, and then used the restorative potion as soon as she was out of the stun. Used Blade Flurry, and Adrenaline Rush to burn her down.

The restorative potion dispels the hex, and removes the Shadow Word:Pain every 5 seconds for 30 seconds, so you need to take her down before it runs out.

Be aware that she does heal (so keep an interrupt for that) and she runs at low health. I died to an add she pulled when she ran further into the cave, but I had killed her and looted the key already.

Hope this helps.

Kommentar von djkroo

You only need ONE key in your party to complete the quest. Even if everyone gets to loot it, you only need one to open the cage, and quest gets complete for everyone.

I did this quest tonight solo as a warlock at lvl 50, using the "Drain Tank" Affliction build (idk if thats the name but yea).
I cleared a path to the arch you go through to enter the altar area, pulled the hex priestess on her own, and lured her back a bit. Curse of Tongues helps slow down her healing, but you still need a timely fear to stop it. I was polymorphed a lot, but as long as your pet is alive, she will switch to that instead. Shadow Ward is also nice here, as it will absorb a good chunk of her DoT. Toward the end I just kept her perma feared, using curse of recklessness if she got too close to an enemy npc. Dark Pact and a Healthstone are absolutely needed, as you will probaly go OOM before she dies. I would bring consumables as well, as this was still difficult even with having her feared half the time. If your not a pet class, it'd be best to bring a friend (ideally more, the polymorph makes this brutal).After you get the key you just need to fight one maybe two guards near the tunnel. I had my pet seduce one, run through, then it disengaged by the time I reached the cage. Good luck.

Did this as a level 48 prot paladin. Took ages, got polymorped the whole time. Upside of a prot paladin, you don't really die so I just let her run out of mana and then slowly finished her off .
