For the Alliance version of this quest, see  [55] Target: Writhing Haunt.

Objectives

Go to the Writhing Haunt in Western Plaguelands to locate and defeat the Cauldron Lord present there, and use its key to gain access to the cauldron. You must have the Empty Writhing Haunt Bottle with you to secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron.

•  [Writhing Haunt Cauldron Key]
•  [Empty Writhing Haunt Bottle] (provided)

Description

Two cauldrons have been successfully opened; while you'll be able to access them indefinitely, we still want to open up the other two that remain. This will provide all of us with more options to introduce the counter agent!

This time, you'll be hitting the Writhing Haunt's cauldron. It is almost due east of Andorhal, relatively close to the ruined city walls; again, eliminate the cauldron lord present there for its key. Use this bottle to obtain the sample from the cauldron.

Good hunting, <name>!

Rewards

You will receive:

• 5,650 XP
• +100 or +250 reputation with Undercity
• +100 or +500 reputation with Argent Dawn

Progress

An access panel to the cauldron remains securely fastened. In order to open it, you will need to find the key.

Completion

The cauldron lord's key unlocks the access panel to this cauldron and then disappears, much like the other keys have for the previous ones you've dealt of. A putrid smelling substance churns violently beneath the platform of the cauldron.

There is a small spigot that the bottle fits well enough under, allowing you to draw a sample for Shadow Priestess Vandis back at the Bulwark.
