You don't need to follow the ghost wolf, you can go directly to the Ancestral Spirit at 61, 21.

The spirit is surrounded by Bristlebacks. You can pick up the quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=833 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=833 : A Sacred Burial at 60,25 and do that quest while working your way to the spirit.

tried doing this quest on my lvl 6. all you have to do is talk to the spirit so you can just run in and talk to him instead of taking out all the guys.I don't see how that's possible. See the screenshot I submitted - he's surrounded by level 9 and 10 Bristleback Interlopers.

As per the previous post, there's an NPC at 60.0, 25.5 - Lorekeeper Raintotem - who gives you a quest to kill 8 Bristleback Interlopers, so this is a great quest to pick up on your way to do this one. See my screenshot on https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=833 the page for that quest for what he looks like.

The Bristleback Interlopers are fairly closely packed near the spirit, and they attempt to run away at low health, so some sort of instant cast spell or stun effect is a must here if you can't handle mobs.

Make sure to pick up the quest A Sacred Burial.

Ignore the path heading into the grounds. Instead clear a path to the mountain. Travel along the mountain until you are in back of the burial grounds. There is a small path leading to the spirit ancestor. You'll be picking off enemies along the way. But they won't be as tightly packed as fighting your way into camp.

The bristlebacks run so save a ranged weapon shot or magic spell for last. You don't want to aggro the whole camp.

Does anyone else find this a disappointment?

Conclusion to all your rites is to just go and talk to one of your ancestors. It is an honour of course but even the quest turn in text comes out as lame.

I had hoped for some noble task to be completed or even a short story. Something glorious like Blizzard usually does to endings of quest chains like this one.

He is not even hard to get to, all you need to do is kill 2-4 Bristlebarks and you are there.
