The mount you need to steel is down the hill, you dont need to go north like before.
Just jump down the hill nd ride the mount to the west.
You have 3 minutes to do it.

Ride to the cave near the windrider.

Weirdly after finishing this quest Kiro will walk himself and some rescued slaves allll the way to Bwojin's Fall before finally phasing out.

Comment by LiriellGarrosh

For some reason, the mount despawns before the 3 minute buff expires. Also, we are able to steer the mount, but are given no direction in which to ride. You have to check your map for the location of the turn in and hope that the road actually goes there. What Blizzard should do is make it an actual ride, with no player controls, just drop us at the quest turn in.

Comment by SteffenKopa

If you find yourself inside the cave, but unable to turn the quest in, exit the cave and reenter normally.

This happens, if you use Fel Rush to get inside the cave quicker.

Okay so this quest is a bit on the broken side..

You're supposed to jump on the giant ass bug and race back to the cave where your friends are waiting. Kiro jumps on the front - in the driver seat - and somehow you're still the one who's driving. Your giant ass bug has a skill which (I assume) is supposed to one-shot mobs like Brutusk does, but sadly does hardly any damage at all, and - in the case of the citizen groups - can end up pulling a whole army of snakemen who will slaughter you. The good news is, there doesn't appear to be a way to fail this quest. You can climb back into your corpse, head back the way you came, and hop on another deathtrap bug, and start over.

"Following the path" isn't easy. If you stray too far in any direction, or pick a wrong turn, the giant ass bug despawns, dropping you on your ass, and probably in a gaggle of pissed off snakemen hungry for your blood. If your don't die, you can always head back and pick yet another deathtrap bug and try again. Eventually, you'll get to the right path, and when close enough to the cave, Kiro jumps off, says something out of a B-movie, and you runs inside, at which point you can follow and hand in the quest.

Interestingly, if you take the path above the cave, the giant ass bug does not despawn, but you are dropped on your ass. At this point, you can wander all over with a giant ass bug pet, driven by the reluctant Kiro, however it remains docile, making it little more than a cosmetic. You can head towards the cave and turn in the quest without issue.

Comment by mufossa

Anybody have an issue where the "?" mark doesn't appear over Kiro (despite suggested solutions given here at WoWHead), so you abandoned the quest and when you went back to the start site Kiro nor the buglisk animal are no longer there? It appears I cannot get the quest and complete the quest, and therefore cannot progress this quest chain further.

Please help if you know of any way! I did submit a ticket in game.

Comment by jfoobar

You go straight down the gulch but you need to turn left at 50,33 (or before), go up the hill there and then make a right to cave. If you try and continue straight to the portion of the ravine where Appraiser Versik is (where you armed the Vulpera Slaves) and go up the far ramp where Nisha was, the best will dismount you before you get there and you will have to start over. As a bonus, when it dismounts you, you may have 5-6 mobs you aggroed along the way to fight as well.

Comment by depthbomb

If you are not wanting to ride all the way back on the ground and would rather fly instead, you can hop on the mount until the quest objective says Return to Vorrik's Sanctum, jumping off of it, and then simply returning to the sanctum by your own means like a flying mount.

Description

One thing I've learned during my time in Vol'dun is to not stay in one place for too long. And doubly so when the Faithless are involved. We've done our damage here. Let's move before we get caught. I procured a mount to take us back to Meerah and the others in Vorrik's Sanctum quickly. Don't worry, this Faithless won't be needing it anymore.
