Quest Text
Good to know the old bear hasn't forgotten me. Unfortunately, neither have the Drust. I was enjoying a peaceful afterlife before they showed up. Do not bother trying to force open this cage. You can only unlock it with three separate keys, and each one is held by a different Drust commander. They should be somewhere nearby. Find them.
Plan the run before you travel
Ardenweald belongs to the Shadowlands 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.
