Arikara

Slay Arikara. Bring her remains and the Incendia powder to Motega Firemane in Whitereach Post as proof of your deed.
  •  
Light the Sacred Fire of Life
Incendia Powder
Arikara Serpent Skin
Provided Item:
Incendia Powder

Description

Take this refined and purified Incendia powder to Thousand Needles and toss it on the sacred fire of life. It is located in the Darkcloud Pinnacle on an isolated needle where they bury their dead.

The enchantment that I have weaved into the Incendia powder will summon Arikara to you, <name>.

I fear she may be stalking Cairne Bloodhoof; too much Tauren lore has changed, and I fear this has angered Arikara. Move quickly before all is lost, <class>!

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Brute Hammer
Stingshot Wand
Clink Shield
Also, you get: 25

Progress

Have you slain the vicious serpent Arikara, <name>?

Completion

This does not make sense. Why would Arikara be after Cairne Bloodhoof? Magatha could not be wrong, she is our most powerful <class>.

<Motega shakes his head.>

Regardless, your great deed to the Horde shall not go unnoticed - please, choose one of these as a reward for your aid.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 230 experience (13 80 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Thunder Bluff

The start of the path up to Darkcloud Pinnacle was at 31, 37.

Head to the pinnacle that the Fire is at 38, 35.

Just a note if you do this in a group. Each party member has to light the fire. I did this with one other person and we ended up having to fight Arikara twice, as we both had to light the fire to get the quest completed (and lighting the fire spawns Arikara). You might be able to have other party members light the fire while Arikara is already spawned, thus avoiding extra battles.

Like Tankme says, he is up at 38,35.
On his little platform there are 4 Tauren spawns. He's pretty easy to kill as a 29

Solo with 32lvl Rogue.
After the kill just jump to the lake next to hill. Fastest way to go down.

As of Patch 2.3 she is non-elite therefore easy soloable by any class.

If tamed, this creature will always appear with the same puff of smoke and a rumbling sound effect that it does before the fight starts.

This Comment is For Rogues (especially Subtlety spec) and Druids:

If you're going stealth to fight this mob, move quickly because if she isn't in combat after 10 seconds of being summoned, then she despawns.
