Getting stuck on Pursue the nage part. QQ
The nagas aint moving

Comment by Aranesh

Quest is currently bugged on Beta on the step "Defeat Athissa and Parjesh". Here is a workaround with pictures:

1. Approach the two Naga in the temple as shown by the quest. A small cutscene will start: Screenshot 1
2. Wait until Athissa is stuck in the middle of the stairs, unattackable: Screenshot 2
3. Move to the quest objective on the map, until a conversation pop-up from Prince Farondis starts (feel free to kill the Naga around, doesn't make a difference): Screenshot 3
4. Now go back to the temple but through the water as in the screenshot! You'll see Athissa still on the stairs, but she is attackable now. Screenshot 4
5. Go around the bridge, *not over it*, and approach Athissa from the trees until she is in attacking range: Screenshot 5
6. Attack her, don't move closer, just kill her and the quest progresses :-)
Screenshot 6

Good luck!

There is a hole in the world at the top of the steps that lead into the Academy. Quest is still bugged but there is a work around ( see screenshot guide someone else posted). Beware of the hole in the world though, you'll have to start from scratch if you fall through.

Entrance to the Hatecoil Slave Pen is 58.5, 41.5 along the shore.

Comment by LeaNoodles

I have to say, Farondis is totally a badass! Giving a big ol' @#$%^slap to Azshara was very satisfying to watch. Not to mention his Meteor Storm attack which is awesome.

Comment by karpana

I was in the middle of doing this quest when I got disconnected. When I reconnected, I was in the graveyard, so I resurrected, and now I am no longer "ghosted" and can't do the quest.

Even tried abandoning the quest, but now can't find the quest giver or a way to become a "ghost" again.

Any thoughts on how to pick this up and continue it?

Comment by Rudy199

Epic, you are the quest NPC at the end of this.

Comment by Cinnestra

At the very end when it says "save yourself", just run straight through Azshara to the back of the cave and turn the quest into yourself.

Farondis is officially my favorite legion character after he hit Azshara in the face with a fireball.

Comment by kerrymayall

Reminds me of the quests in Jade Forest where you play one of the npc's while they narrate. Who can forget the adventures of Sully and Socks.

Comment by Impact009

Whatever you do, don't die. You'll have to talk to Farondis again, but the nagas don't drag your body. They just leave it there at the academy's entrance, so nothing progresses.

Comment by kalinda

If you get stuck like I did where I lost track of the two Naga's, even though I ended up finding my body in the cave without being able to complete the quest, you need to go to way point 55.42, 41.18. Once there, just attack the two Naga and the quest will progress.

Comment by wb1984

if the prince dosen't speak when you approach the acadamy, it is glitched.

what worked for me is to abandon the quest, go to the cave at 58.5, 41.5 (thanks Voxi), exit game and accept the quest again.

Comment by AliceInAcidland

Kneeling to Azshara doesn't do anything.

Comment by MaxWilder

Leads to: The Head of the Snake

Comment by Boxofbeer

During this quest you play on Prince Farondis who chasing your character taken by nagas.

Prince Farondis has three spells:

Fireball — single target spell, deals around 250k damage per cast.
Meteor storm — aoe spell, dealing huge damage within it's radius.
Blink — Farondis teleports in small distance.

Just follow naga's killing mobs around, nothing hard there, Hatecoil Slave Pens entrance is at 58.5 41.5 point, on a beach. Have a dialogue with Azshara and turn up the quest to...yourself.

Looking for some help/advice

When I speak to the prince in the cave I get a loading screen that goes halfway thru the loadbar and then freezes up.

I ve tried the following all add ons disabled, lowest graphic settings and scan repair files any other ideas ?

Thanks

Comment by mgs3549

Quest seems to be bugged right now. Get stuck on the loading bar every time after talking to the Prince.

:( wtb fix so i can finish the zone

Comment by rotellam1

As of 12/11/16 the quest is currently bugged for many players, probably due to an add-on. After you talk to Prince Farondis a loading screen will go to about 60% then WoW will freeze. If you rename your Cache, Interface, and WTF folders to something else (I used .old) you should be able to log back in and do it then close the game, delete the new folders WoW will create and rename them to their old names (Cache, Interface, and WTF). This worked for me.

Comment by Cheesecaker

If you're curious, you can run around Azsuna as Farondis but there won't be any mobs anywhere. I actually made it all the way to Suramar as Farondis, but as soon as the map registered that I was in Suramar I became myself again. Hearthed back to Dalaran and flew back to the Illidari Stand, then ran back to the cave to keep saving myself.

Comment by OctopusSandwich

If the Slave Pen is completely empty just press the exit button and talk to Farondis again and approach Azshara again. Fixed it for me.

Comment by zigtoria

Any idea on how to get transmogs of the outfit Azshara is wearing here?

Comment by Legeri

This was bugged for me in Shadowlands.

I saw Azshara appear in front of the cave, and then the entire game lagged out for about ~10 seconds and I disconnected.

Upon logging back in, I was back in control of my character and the quest was not showing up as actively tracked even though it was. I had to abandon the quest, leave the cave, travel a sizable distance away from the cave in order to make Farondis appear back near the shackles in order to start the quest again.

Hopefully this helps anybody else encountering the same problem.

Comment by BearRaccoon

Seems to be bugged at the moment.

Levelling through legion, hit this quest at lvl 19, Farondis no longer seems to do decent damage, getting slaughtered by mobs in 4/5 hits, impossible to beat Athissa

Comment by Madicos

This quest is possible but it is ridiculously hard right now due to bad scaling on player controlled non player creatures and will take multiple attempts but this is how I was able to complete this quest today. First thing to keep in mind when dealing with the enemies here is that the enemies you kill take a bit to respawn so it key to focus down one enemy at a time knowing that you will die and have to talk to Farondis to start it again to slowly make progress. To kill the three naga on the bridge the first one is the caster since you can usually cast the meteors and spam fireball and kill her before the other two get you. When you talk to Farondis and go back in it should now just be two left cast meteor and spam fireball to kill each one knowing you may only get one dead each attempt. After killing the three on the bridge before you cross the bridge the will be another naga that spawns to the right of the stairs that you will need to kill before trying to follow your body. After the cutscene instead of following go down the area that you just clear and cross the water to behind where they drag your body and get it to trigger the next part of the quest where you defeat Athissa. This is the hardest part since you have to beat her in one life and you will be doing minimal damage to her and she does huge damage to you. The key is to abuse LOS and her bad pathing to avoid all of her attacks. Behind her is a raised broken pathway that you can get on with a gap between a ramplike pathway. Athissa can't go over this gap and will go around so you will need to use this area to lose LOS when she casts spells and jump between the two spots to avoid her coming close since she does have a melee attack. The key is to cast meteors on her and stay out of LOS when her spells cast. when she casts blizzard she channels it so you might be able to get a meteor cast along with several fireball casts before she try's a damaging spell again. It takes a long time since you do so little damage but it is possible to defeat her. After she is defeated swim around the bridge section and go under the second broken one avoiding enemies. There should be a couple naga that you can focus down and also avoid the herd of the small naga. Once you get close it should trigger the dialog between Farondis and Queen Azshara that ends with you attacking her and her leaving. Afterwards when you go into the cave there is a naga that you can solo down and one other to the right of the spike wall opening. After taking care of them you should be able to rush forward using blink and complete the quest before the two naga can kill stop you.

Comment by nosf

Scaling is ... kind of fixed as of today, 4/17/2024. Regular Naga can be nuked easily, but Athissa is still....challenging.

Comment by Edeias

I had real problems with this quest a few weeks ago. Today I tried it again, same level, and, while not easy, the fight with Athissa was manageable, and I could (finally) complete it.
