The Den

Travel to the Den on Stonetalon Peak. Using the Gatekeeper's Key, obtain the druids' hidden items. Use these items to open the Talon Den Hoard.
Sleepers' Key
Claw Key
Barrow Key

Description

The druids built the Talon Den on Stonetalon Peak, where they keep many powerful items.

They devised a complex scheme to keep them from falling into the wrong hands.

Luckily, I managed to... extract some details from one of them.

Hidden in a small lantern at the entrance of the Den, you will find the Gatekeeper's Key--with it you will be able to open caches around the Den. The items from these caches will allow you to open their hoard, located in one of the central areas.

Reward

You will receive:
Sacred Band
Panther Armor
Juggernaut Leggings

Progress

Three keyholes are carved into the stone.

Completion

As the three keys are slid into their matching openings, in the middle of the glowing light a number of items appear.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 295 experience (17 70 at max. level)

Don't forget to pick up the Gatekeeper's Key in the lantern outside the entrance to Talon Den. You need it to get the other keys inside.

If you're doing this quest, you might as well pick up Horde Presence (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3514 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3514) by killing the Alliance Outriders in the Barrens as well. You'll complete it on the way in.

Also, after quest is done you may want to trash the GateKeeper's Key.

just did this quest as a lvl 28 feral druid , and the only hard part was the rare elite . as told , he hits for 400-450 with lightning , and having 1084hp is not helpful . i just kept hibernating , FA and used a lesser mana pot. died 2 times before could kill him . with 2.3 there is easy to see where u turn in the quest . the elite at the entrance is fairly easy to kill

I soloed as a lvl 31 frost mage and it was pretty easy.

All you have to do is follow Cyane's instructions and you're good to go.

As a frost mage, when you get to the turn in Hoard, there's 3 dryads surrounding the Hoard. So, what I did was first frost nova, then sheep one so that two would be there. Then I just kinda went down further from them so they wouldn't be able to throw their spears, but still able to do frostbolt. It's pretty much easier that way. Remember to use mana agate, its your friend!

But I was kind of in dire need of health pots and mana pots at that point, so I would say it would be wise to bring some.

As of 2.3, this quest is not specified as a group quest anymore. The normal mobs have been changed to non-elite. It can, however, be still challenging to do this quest alone. There is a weak elite mob guarding the first bridge (Rynthariel the Keymaster, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8518 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8518). There is also a high chance that a rare elite mob (Nal'taszar, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4066 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4066) spawns directly next to the last chache. This means there are three mobs right next to it: two non elites, and this level 30 elite. His chain lightning hits very hard, so be careful. As a paladin, I died four times at this spot.

If you're a rouge, than this quest can be solo'd easily! Sap will get you all the way to Sleepers key. Here comes the good part:
- Kill all horses outside the room.

And when you are stealthed inside the rom:
- Sap one horse and kill the other horse. Remember to kick the parrot when he is about to cast his spells during the fight. Then vanish.
- Go back in and sap the last horse, cheap shot the parrot and run out of the room. Wait for the parrot to come out, gauge him and run back in the room. If you were quick enough you should have over 10 secounds to open the lamp. And once again, vanish.

I completely agree with the above post. The amount of clearing you have to do to make your way through that cave outweighs the rewards--it takes forever. Solo-able or not, it's absolutely not worth the time for the XP and mediocre rewards. If you're having fun leveling slowly and seeing all the content, go for it, but, if leveling is your goal, skip this quest.

Personally, and in my opinion, this is one of the most painful quests in the game. I did this quest as a level 27 feral druid. The regular mobs were super easy kills. The annoying part was the two elites within the cave. First, a 29 elite before you get to any of the caches. I managed to kill her by putting bleeds on and switching to bear form. Demoralizing Roar, stun, healed myself with Regrowth and Rejuv. Further in, I had to use my tauren racial war stomp to give me time to heal again. Moreover, the rare elite spawn by the third cache was orange to me (30 elite rare), so I had to call in a little back up because a 30 elite plus two 27 regular mobs cannot be solo'd. At least by me. </Nerd Rage>.

Edit: Bring some friends. Definitely.

Talk about annoying quest.
  1. Druids appear to be very resistant towards nature spells, taking 50% less damage and resist most of the spells. Particularly annoying when you want to interrut their Wrath spell with Earth Shock as a shaman.
  2. Whole Talon Den is swarming with mobs. Get ready to fight against 2 or 3 at a time if you are not careful; there are patrolling dryads and all the mobs run at low health, and the dryads even use slow poison which makes catching them way harder
  3. I saw few rare spawns while being there, and I was not happy. First one, Faerie Dragon, was in which had one of they keys in it, and he had 2 mobs with him aswell. And in another room, I charged to kill 2 dryads, but there appeared to also be a level 27 elite druid-bear guy lurking behind the corner, but I managed to survive with Stoneclaw + Run combo.
Be careful while doing this.
