Objectives

Retrieve Messner's Cage Key.

• [Messner's Cage Key]

Description

The key to this cage is stored in a pouch over at the worg den, just north of our location. The problem is that the pouch is resting safely atop a tree stump amidst a sea of bloodthisty man-killing worgs.

You've got one shot to get that key without waking up any of those sleeping worgs. Head to the worg den and find a way to the center. Tread carefully and watch out for the Blackrock worg captain. Get the key and return to me.

If you got a pet, I'd recommend telling it to stay back!

Progress

Did you get the cage key?

Completion

IT'S PAYBACK TIME!

Notes

47.5|42.0 Head north. The pit is full of elite worgs and guarded by the elite Blackrock Worg Captain. If players attempt to enter the pit with their pet not staying put, the game displays a warning:

You should have your pet wait for you here. Beware the Blackrock Worg Captain!

Aggroing one worg will aggro nearly every worg in the pit, so be careful!

Exiting the worg pit:

Don't forget to command your pet to follow you!

Completing the quest breaks Messner out of the cage. He will follow players about as a guardian, with quotes!

• We all owe our lives to Keeshan. He's saved our hides a hundred times.
• So what's up with the bridge in Lakeshire? Oslow ever finish building it?
• I think I'm gonna go to Dalaran after this is over. Help 'em get that city up and floating again.
• Being a mage has its advantages, but the laundry bills are hell to pay.
• I need to use the restroom.
