Lifting the Curse

Get the Intrepid Strongbox Key from Captain Halyndor.

Use the key to open the Intrepid's Locked Strongbox.
Intrepid Strongbox Key

Description

To break the curse and free all of my brethren, the...thing...stowed on my ship must be retrieved and cleansed! I don't know what it was, but I do know that it was stored securely in the ship's strongbox, which Captain Halyndor lorded over.

My old captain is still in my dreams. I know he walks my doomed ship, the Intrepid. Get the key from him, and use it to open the Intrepid's strongbox.

Then, after you have the cursed thing, bring it to the priest Glorin Steelbrow in town.

Progress

This chest is securely locked.

Completion

The key is rusted but it fits the lock neatly.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 120 experience (7 20 at max. level)
  • 75 Reputation with Stormwind

The chest in at the bottom of the boat the Captain is on. Its a bit tricky to get there through the boat. The easiest way is through a hold underwater on the bottom side of the boat. It is the northern most boat.

To kill the Captain, just climb up the rudder. Kill him and loot the corpse. Then swim around to the bottom on the west side to get to the box.

Right by the lockbox is a regular lootable chest. So when you loot the chest, turn around, and look beside a wall thing in the middle.

Jump up forward from the water as you are facing the rudder to the ship and you can then climb up and pull the captain by himself. He has a nasty protective effect that goes off during combat that causes spells to reflect back upon the caster. The effect manifests itself as a green globe that surrounds the captain for about 10 seconds. While that is up, go easy on the casting. Otherwise he is not particularly daunting to a solo player.

Coordinates for the Rudder are 16,23. Just walk up and kill the captain.

You will get a really funny bug if you are a shaman, and doing this quest. If you have ""curse of the eye"" on you, and you make your self into a Ghost Wholf. You will just run 40 % faster but not look like a wolf, but as a undead.

Yup, I thought it was hilarious watching my voidwalker turn undead. Though I realized he may have some gender issues, his voice sounds masculine, but that little curse he had cast on him mad him a female undead. o.O

After you have killed the Captain, by climbing up the rudder, nice tip btw, jump off and swim down to the bottom of the front end of the ship. On the side furthest from the land there is a hole with one lvl 28 guard on it. Kill Him. Swim through the hole and the box is right in front of you.

You can do this quest in Two kills :)

This quest chain is very similar in plot to the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl movie; interesting trivia there...
