I Sense a Disturbance

Quest 5 of 12 in the Dying Loa Finale
Alliance • Zul'Drak • Level 77 • Altar of Quetz'lun
Ride Har'koa's Kitten stealthed to the Altar of Quetz'lun [75.2, 58.7] to discover Quetz'lun's fate, then return to Har'koa.
Dismount before accepting. Talk to Har'koa again to summon the kitten. Fully scripted ride, no combat, no player control needed. The kitten runs stealthed to the altar, you discover Quetz'lun is dead, the Prophet detects you, and the kitten makes a dramatic high-speed escape. Level 77+ shortcut: Fly directly to [75.77, 58.60] to trigger credit and skip the ride. Return to Har'koa at [63.7, 70.4].
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
The kitten ran stealthed through enemy territory, and what waited at the Altar of Quetz'lun was a serpent goddess lying still on the stones. The prophet standing over her body looked up at exactly the wrong moment.

“There’s something wrong with Quetz’lun, the wind serpent goddess. What it is exactly I cannot sense, but I do know that her altar has been overrun with powerful creatures. I’m going to send you there on the back of one of my children, which you saved. The two of you will move swiftly and with great stealth to uncover what has become of Quetz’lun. My child will see you safely back to me. Just keep your eyes open.

When you are ready, ask and I will call one of my kittens for you.”

Quest Giver: Har’koa — Altar of Har’koa, Zul’Drak [63.7, 70.4]

Objective: Ride Har’koa’s Kitten to the Altar of Quetz’lun to discover Quetz’lun’s fate, then return to Har’koa.

Quick Facts

  • Chain Position: 13 of 27 in the Dying Loa/Har’koa questline
  • Combat: None. This is a fully scripted ride.
  •  

 

Walkthrough

Accept and Summon the Kitten

  • Accept the quest from Har’koa, then talk to her again to summon Har’koa’s Kitten. You’ll mount the kitten automatically.
  • Dismount before accepting the quest. The quest can bug out if you accept it while mounted.

 

The Stealth Ride

  • The kitten runs on autopilot, stealthed, through hostile territory to the Altar of Quetz’lun at [75.2, 58.7]. Do not try to dismount or control movement. Just sit back and watch.
  • The kitten provides whispered commentary as you approach. You’ll discover that Quetz’lun is dead, and the Prophet of Quetz’lun has taken over the altar. The area is filled with elite mobs.
  • The Prophet detects your presence and the kitten makes a dramatic high-speed escape back to Har’koa. The return run is noticeably fast (roughly 400% mount speed).

 

Turn In

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Shortcut (Level 77+ with Flying): You can skip the kitten ride entirely by flying directly to the Altar of Quetz’lun at [75.77, 58.60]. Arriving at the location triggers quest credit.
  • AFK-Friendly: The ride is fully automated. You can step away while the kitten handles the trip, though the scripted dialogue and escape sequence are fun to watch the first time.

 

Lore Context

This quest reveals that Quetz’lun, the wind serpent goddess, is dead. But Har’koa senses “something else” on your return, hinting that all is not as it seems. This sets up the Quetz’lun underworld storyline, where you’ll discover the goddess created her own private realm to take revenge on the followers who betrayed her.

 

Easter Egg

  • The quest title, “I Sense a Disturbance,” is a nod to the classic Star Wars line “I sense a disturbance in the Force.” The kitten’s escape line (“We’re spotted!”) is also a pun, since it’s a spotted snow leopard cub.

“There’s something wrong with Quetz’lun,” Har’koa said. “I’m sending you on one of my children. You will move with great stealth to uncover what has become of her.”

One of the kittens I’d saved appeared at my feet. “Thank you for saving me. This is the least I could do to return the favor. Hold on tight.”

Both of us invisible, we ran north toward Quetz’lun’s altar. The kitten’s voice came as a whisper: “This doesn’t look good. Whatever you do, don’t fall off.”

We reached the steps and saw the Prophet of Quetz’lun standing over a massive serpentine form.

“Oh no… Quetz’lun is dead! Stay still. We’ll sneak past the prophet.”

We almost made it.

“What was that?” The prophet’s head snapped up. “I sense an intruder. Find and kill them!”

“We’re spotted! Hang on!”

The kitten ran. I held on. Behind us, the altar erupted with pursuit. Ahead, nothing but speed and desperate hope.

“I think we’re safe now. We made it!”

Har’koa already knew when we returned. “Deep down I knew it. I wanted to deny it, but your eyes have revealed the truth.”

Another god dead. The Drakkari’s madness spreading faster than we could stop it.

 

Quetz’lun was dead on her own altar, but Har’koa sensed something else. The wind serpent goddess didn’t go quietly into oblivion. She built something on the other side of death, and reaching it requires ingredients no living mortal usually needs in Preparations for the Underworld.
