The Strength of Tortolla
A verified Blizzard quest record from Mount Hyjal. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Mount Hyjal, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The dark usurper Nemesis fled here when the fires of Hyjal receded. We are not yet strong enough to defeat Nemesis, {name}, but we may be able to turn his own strength against him. I will send a child of Tortolla with you, one of the children you freed earlier from the Twilight's corruption. Search the depths of this cave for a Nemesis Crystal, and allow the young turtle to examine it. See me if you lose your companion!
Plan the run before you travel
Mount Hyjal belongs to the Cataclysm archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
