Comment by supermage
Says this battle pet is obtained from "Oddly-Colored Egg." One theory I have is that the Oddly-Colored Egg has a low drop rate from a mob in Broken Isles, similar to how Sprite Darter Egg which is used to summon Sprite Darter Hatchling has a low drop rate from mobs in Feralas.

Comment by junkseer
Oddly-Colored Egg is located behind several walls and a gargoyle guardian in a cave called Cave of Consumption on the northern coast of Moonglade. No legitimate way to get past walls or the watcher has been discovered at this time

Sun Darter Hatchling is a secret pet rewarded by figuring out riddles similar to Kosumoth the Hungering and Riddler's Mind-Worm

Warcraft Secrets Guide: https://warcraft-secrets.com/guides/sun-darter-hatchling/

Join the WoW Secret Finding Discord to solve more puzzles, riddles and various mysteries the game has to offer.

Get these consumables before starting to solve the puzzle:

Major Arcane Protection Potion Major Fire Protection Potion Major Frost Protection Potion - created by alchemists
Major Holy Protection Potion Major Nature Protection Potion Major Shadow Protection Potion - created by alchemists
20x Noggenfogger Elixir - buy this from Sprinkle Noggenfogger in Tanaris
Scotty's Lucky Coin - drop from Scotty in Townlong Steppes
Dire Brew - talk to Dark Iron Brewer in Blackrock Depths, wait until he passes out, and then loot the Mug of Dire Brew
Ethereal Oil - created by alchemists
Gordok Ogre Suit - Dire Maul Quest
Winterfall Firewater - Drop
20x Pygmy Oil - created by alchemists
Perky Pug - reward from Looking For Multitudes
"Little Princess" Costume - sold from vendors for 1 Shiny Pet Charm or 500 Timeless Coin
Scroll of Intellect - created by scribers (Note: get the level 1 version)

Most of the items can be bought on the Auction House, however some of them are Bind of Pickup and you'll have to go and get them yourself.
Check Kruithne's post below for in-depth information on how to obtain them.

Make sure to follow each step as they are described in this guide.
If you attempt to cheat or forget to use a consumable in time then you will get teleported back at the start.
DO NOT cancel any buff unless you are told to do so.

Sun Darter Hatchling is looted from an Oddly-Colored Egg which is found at the end of a cave in Winterspring.
The Cavern of Consumption location: http://imgur.com/LtVqld3
As soon as you enter the cave, Consuming Silence will be applied to you which makes you unable to use most of your abilities and toys.

The first things you have to deal with are two barriers: a wall of fire and a wall of fel
To get past the first barrier you have to use Major Fire Protection Potion and to get past the second one you also have to use all the other 5 major protection potions:

Major Arcane Protection Potion Major Frost Protection Potion Major Holy Protection Potion
Major Nature Protection Potion Major Shadow Protection Potion

Fel is Chaos. Chaos includes all schools of magic.

Now you have to use Noggenfogger Elixir until you become a skeleton so that you are able to walk by the Diligent Watcher without getting teleported back at the start.

After passing the gargoyle the path is now split and you'll want to go to the right towards the the wall of vines.
To get past it you'll have to use Scotty's Lucky Coin to transform into a forest sprite.

Once inside the new room, make sure to pick up a Water Stone from the pool of water and use it.
This will give you a 15 minute buff which will allow you to walk through the blue barrier from before.

Now you have to use Dire Brew so that you can walk by the Stone Watcher without getting teleported back at the start.

The path is split again so make sure to follow this order:

1. Go up the ramp to the transparent barrier on the right side and use Ethereal Oil to get through it.
After the gate, there is a Strange Stone with a hole for your arm. To make your arm better fit within the hole, use Gordok Ogre Suit and Winterfall Firewater.
Click the stone <Place arm in hole> and you will then get the Sign of the Second buff.

2. Now go back to the gate on the left. Use Pygmy Oil until you get transformed into a Pygmy! and then you can get through the gate that leads towards the Wisdom Cube.

I am the Wisdom Cube.
> What wisdom do you hold?
I have been imparted with the knowledge of the timeless ones.
> What is your purpose?
I am capable of granting the sign of the first.
> What do you require?
My creators seek a most amusing heir.

Summon Perky Pug and use the "Little Princess" Costume on it. Interact with the cube and select <Place arm beneath cube>
Once you get the Sign of the First buff you can leave this room and head towards the gate at the bottom.

3. With the buffs from the stone and the cube, the gate is now open and leads to a Tarnished Plaque - READ IT!

The greatest of achievements begins with the smallest leap of the mind.

Before you can cross the water, cancel (right-click) the Winterfall Firewater buff and use Scroll of Intellect
Now you can go and get your pet from the Oddly-Colored Egg in the water!

Grats on your new pet!

Comment by Spiren
Solved on discord secret channel few minutes ago. Wisdom Cube grants you Sign of the First when you are accompanied by Perky Pug with "Little Princess" Costume (the most amusing heir). Then you need to use Scroll of Intellect (the smallest leap of mind) and finally your are able to cross the water and loot the egg.

Comment by Kruithne
This post contains in-depth information on how to obtain the items you will need before approaching the cave containing this pet.
For information on what to do with these items once at the cave, check the sticky comment by Nightswifty.

Major Protection Potions

Major Arcane Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Arcane Protection Potion is obtained by killing Vir'aani Arcanist located around Oshu'gun in Nagrand (Outland).
Note: This recipe will only drop for players with the Alchemy profession.

Major Holy Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Holy Protection Potion is obtained by killing Abyssal Flamebringer located within Force Camp Terror in Blade's Edge Mountains.
Note: This recipe will only drop for players with the Alchemy profession.

Major Shadow Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Shadow Protection Potion is obtained by killing Shadow Council Warlock located within Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley (Outland).
Note: This recipe will only drop for players with the Alchemy profession.

Major Fire Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Fire Protection Potion is obtained from Nethermancer Sepethrea, a boss inside the Mechanar dungeon in Netherstorm.
Note: This recipe will only drop for players with the Alchemy profession.

Major Frost Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Frost Protection Potion is obtained from Nexus-Prince Shaffar, a boss inside the Mana-Tombs dungeon in Terokkar Forest.
Note: This recipe will only drop for players with the Alchemy profession.

Major Nature Protection Potion
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by an alchemist (360) with the recipe below.
Recipe: Major Nature Protection Potion is purchased from Fedryen Swiftspear and requires the player to be Exalted with the Cenarion Expedition.
The quickest method of getting to Exalted with the Cenarion Expedition is to run the Steamvaults dungeon on Heroic difficulty without killing bosses repeatedly. This will take roughly 25~ clears. Killing a boss inside the dungeon while on Heroic difficulty will lock you to the instance for the day and prevent resetting.

Note: Another method of obtaining the major protection potions above is to craft the corresponding potion cauldrons. This is not ideal, and has thus been redacted due to character limitations of this post.

Dire Brew (Blackrock Depths)

Tip: If you have (or know someone who has) Direbrew's Remote available, you can use it to teleport into this dungeon!

To obtain the Dire Brew, head to the Blackrock Depths dungeon located within Blackrock Mountain. Once inside, go through the iron gate on your left. On your right a little further along should be another iron gate, go through this and head over to the door on your left.

Entering the door, you should see a large device called The Shadowforge Lock, head on over and activate this. Inside the same room, head up the first flight of stairs and take a left. Follow the corridor along (it takes a few turns) until you arrive at an open room with two stairs leading down in opposite directions. Take the stairs on the right which lead into a room called The Manufactory. Inside The Manufactory, you want to head as much to the right as you can. There's a small corridor that leads out, guarded by Fireguard Destroyers. Follow this bridge along and you'll be inside the Grim Guzzler.

Once inside the Grim Guzzler, head to the upper level and locate Dark Iron Brewer who will be stood crafting at a smoggy stove by the bar counter. While being careful not to kill him (since he is an attackable target), talk to him and exhaust his dialog until he passes out. At this point, he will spawn a tankard at your feet which you can loot for the Dire Brew.

Gordok Ogre Suit (Dire Maul):

This can be bought off the auction house, however the price is likely to be high. To get one for yourself, head to Dire Maul and follow the instructions below!

Once at Dire Maul, you'll want to head inside using the north entrance (there are multiple entrances to the dungeon, so check your compass to make sure you use the right one). After entering the portal, you should be in the Gordok Commons. Turn left and follow the path along (ignore the ramp on your immediate right). You should reach a small ramp with hyena-taming ogres at the top of it. Head up this ramp and go right, you should see another ramp on your left; head up this.

Go through the gazebo and down a ramp on the other side where a large door named "Gordok Courtyard Door" is located. Open this door and go through it. Follow the Halls of Destruction down until you come out in a room filled with Carrion Swarmers. Keep going through this room, however pay attention to the far-right corner where a goblin named Knot Thimblejack is stood since you'll need to come back to him shortly.

Keep following the linear layout and head up a large ramp. At the top of the ramp, you should notice a small Ogre Tannin Basket on the floor. Loot this for the Ogre Tannin and take it back to Knot Thimblejack you passed in exchange for the Gordok Ogre Suit.

Tip: Enable low-level quest tracking on your minimap if you have trouble spotting Knot Thimblejack.

Miscellaneous

Noggenfogger Elixir
Sold by Sprinkle Noggenfogger in Gadgetzhan. The prerequisite quest is no longer required.
In order to purchase these, you will need to be at least Neutral with Gadgetzhan.

Winterfall Firewater
Can be bought off the auction house, and is dropped by Winterfall furbolgs in Winterspring.
Farming: Head to 25, 48 in Winterspring, which is just to the east of Timbermaw Hold, and kill enemies starting with the name Winterfall.

Ethereal Oil
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by alchemists (learnt at 375 from an alchemy trainer).
The Glassfin Minnow needed to craft these potions are caught from pools found in Crystalsong Forest.
Tip: Keep any Pygmy Suckerfish you fish up, as they are needed for the next item listed!

Pygmy Oil
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by alchemists (learnt at 375 from an alchemy trainer).
The Pygmy Suckerfish needed to craft these potions are caught while fishing in open inland water in Northrend.
Tip You're likely to catch these while fishing the Glassfin Minnow needed for Ethereal Oil (see previous step).

Scotty's Lucky Coin
Dropped by Scotty located in Townlong Steppes, behind a house at 21.8, 46.2.
He takes around five minutes to respawn after having been killed.
Tip: The coin is personal loot, so grouping up with players of your faction is beneficial!

Scroll of Intellect
Can be bought off the auction house, or crafted by players with the Inscription profession.
Some vendors carry this item, but the stock is limited, so it's not ideal for obtaining it.
To craft this, a scribe will need Moonglow Ink, which is obtained by milling Silverleaf, Earthroot or Peacebloom

"Little Princess" Costume
Can be bought off the auction house, or from various vendors as follows:
Lio the Lioness - Lunarfall (Alliance Garrison) pet menagerie, or at the Magical Menagerie in Dalaran. Costs 1x Shiny Pet Charm.

Comment by Blacknny
Thank you for the discovery! Damn it's cute! I don't do pet battle but I'll capture him and keep him warm with me!

Comment by radienlee
Has this cave always been in the game? or has it been recently added?

Comment by Kiyoine
If you need Pygmy Oil and don't want to fish up fish or buy from AH/other players, go clear your way through Ulduar to Freya and you'll get 18-19 of them from the Alchemist's Cache that she drops.

~~Time to sell off the stack I keep on my banker alt, hehe.~~

Comment by spicydee
Thank you for the terrific guides. I am amazed that people have the smarts to figure this stuff out! It looks like rocket science to me!

Great job!

Comment by Fhina
Could a warlock just open a summoning portal after getting there? Be nice to have three people get the items and go in, then summon others.

Comment by Surveysays
Couple tips as I had to complete twice due to being teleported out after receiving the two Sign buffs:

After the Stone Golem, you want to go up the ramp on the right (the gate you see below is the final one). Walk up the center of the ramp; don't get too close to the ledge or walk off the side of the ramp once you have the two Sign buffs as it may teleport you out.

At the top of the ramp, it made more sense to me to go through the left gate first by using the Pgymy oil. Completing in the reverse order my first time through I had to remove the size increase buffs to fit through the small gate (not sure if that is intended).

Comment by Hyttz
i can't find the entrance. have all required items just cant find entrance lol. Anyone have a better pic of the entrance?

Comment by RockwellH
well prices just shot up on all the stuff

Comment by Iakyta
Why this pet is a Critter type and not Dragonkin? This is so strange.

Comment by Thunderbelly
hehe all this trouble for a battle pet. I read it as a mount.

Comment by Kurasu
Remember, all you alchemists out there: creating the potions for this gives you x5 of each of them. That leaves you 4 to sell on the AH when you're done everything.

Farming or buying the mats may be annoying, but if you're an alchemist, it's probably worth it to craft your own as you end up with spares to sell for those who can't craft them!

Comment by Vythrin
Anyone know of any alternatives to Scotty's Lucky Coin? Or is the coin the only item that works?

Comment by TheOldBear
People have started selling the potions of obscene amounts. Should be ashamed.

Comment by Kurasu
This creature is cageable and, thus, AH-sellable.

For those who want to go through all the effort to be able to get the pet just in order to put it on the AH afterward, that is.

Comment by Gameroze
Guys this is VERY important - for the last portion of the event, do NOT jump down into the water after you've applied the intellect buff! It will teleport you back outside and you'll most likely lose both of your one hour buffs like I did. I couldn't understand what I did wrong but I thought it may be bugged. When I got the pet the second time around, upon entering the last room I made my way all the way over to the right and entered the water from the slope to get to the egg. This worked! Just a heads up for everyone else. I don't want anyone else to suffer the way I did having to redo everything. :(

Comment by Purgatorywolf
Co-ords are like 56,15 for the cave -it's not actually in Winterspring, but on the other side of the mountain range on the "coast".

Comment by Darkoli1987
Do NOT buy the Water Stone from the Auction House!
Some people are trying to scam other players who didn't read the item checklist or guide properly and will try to sell this for 10,000g or higher.
According to some guys from the Discord server the sad thing is that this scam even works. Someone sold the Water Stone for 50,000g.

So again: DO NOT buy it from the Auction House!

Comment by sushibar
Insane amount of work for just a recolor pet.. Much easier to grab a Sprite Darter Hatchling.

Comment by magickmann
to much work for a pet! now if it was a mount! lol!

Comment by Nirnaan
Cave entrance is not in Winterspring but rather north of it on the coast of the Great Sea.
Fly due north from about 48,1 in Winterspring and you will find an area of trees and some stones with the Cave.

Comment by koochulu
Anyone know if you can do this one the same character more than once? Obviously, there is the 3 pet max and they are cageable, but rather than farm another Scotty on an alt, I'm hoping it can be redone on the same character. Would like someone else to confirm first, though. :)

Comment by djleeds
CAVE ENTRANCE COORDS: 48, 0

Comment by UtsuhoReiuji
If you get spontaneously teleported out of the cave, DO NOT PANIC! If you still had the buffs on, you can still return to the point where you got teleported out.
You do not have to disable any buffs until the last part with the water, and even if you disabled that Firewater buff then, you can still backtrack, should you get ported out.

It seems that falling (e.g. at the ramp or at the water in the end) can trigger the teleport, quite annoying.

Comment by Dragonarcher
If this is any help to anyone, and since ive seen a few people asking about this
Yes you can repeat this on different alts, i do not know if u can do it more then once on one character tho
so far ive done it on 8 alts

Comment by step2me
Hey guys, I wanna make a very important note. Do not fall off of anything at all. Any sort of ledge, i know it had been mentioned at the final step like go around the ramp to the side, don't fall into the water, or you will get teleported. do not fall off of anything, water below or land, regardless. don't fall. take the long route.

I feel off a tiny 2 foot ledge at the water stone puddle, and then got teleported out, and then once i finally waited and got back in, and then also be very careful of the area of detection of both the watchers, as i stepped like 5 feet past the blue water barrier, and got teleported out, and then once i finally got back in and properly applied my stone dwarf disguise and got past, i properly got through the ethereal oil door and used my ogre disguise and fire water, and got back through, and then as i walked back down, i thought i could just walk off the ledge and short-cut fall below. nope, i got teleported out of there too and then now I'm down both my iron dwarf ale thing, and my ogre disguise.

Comment by kalvac
The cave is located due North of 49,03 (It is off the map so it doesn't have an exact location.) You will go past Winterspring and descend down out of the snow and into an area with greenery. The cave is under a large tree.

Comment by sagcat
I can confirm that if you do it again a second time with the same character, there's no egg to loot when you're through.

Comment by RealUnimportant
I'm pretty sure I have or can craft all of those consumables... but 100 random heroics? Nothing is worth that.

Comment by SFFCorgi
Something was glitched for me when I did this - I did the Ethereal Oil / Ogre Suit part, but the access to the tarnished plaque was open without me having the Sign from the Wisdom Cube. I backtracked and found the Cube (the directions weren't clear for me initially where to find it) to make sure I didn't get booted outside again, but now I'm wondering if I could have skipped.

Hatchling obtained, though! Thanks to all the people who made this easy.

Go to CAVERN of CONSUMPTION on the NORTH side of the mountains of Winterfall – Coor: 49.3)
(If these steps are done out of order or missed you will be returned to the beginning of cave – just run in again, your buffs are still good)

• Use Dire Brew to turn into a dwarf and walk past the Stone Watcher
• Turn Right to go to Purple Barrier – take Ethereal Oil

• Use your Scroll of Intellect and read plate
• Walk around into the water and pick up your Oddly Colored Egg (the Sun Darter is in it)

Comment by Epytropos
A couple notes:

1. Almost anything you jump off of (ledges etc) can knock you back to the beginning. Won't happen every time, but once is enough.
2. Even if your character isn't visibly a skeleton/dwarf/etc, if you have the buff in the upper right the game will give you credit for being that thing for the purposes of the puzzle.
3. When walking through the blue water wall, the next puzzle is only a few feet inside. At my zoom level, I could still see the wall between me and my character when it tossed me to start for being too close to the sentinel without my direbrew equipped.
4. This is probably obvious, but don't feel you need to repeat every step just cuz you get thrown back - you still have all your prot potions, your water crystal buff, etc for 15 minutes afterwards, plenty of time to repeat things if you mess something up.

Hotfix for June 19th:
Fixed a bug in the Cavern of Consumption that would erroneously teleport players back to the entrance of the cavern.

Comment by Richardbro
Just a heads up, when I got to the looting of the water stone part, I wasn't able to see any stones anywhere. I realized it was because my graphics settings were too low (was set to quality 1). After I switched it up to 3 I was able to see and loot the water stone.

So make sure your graphic settings are not set too low!

Comment by Manniala
Just in case you are not sure about everything, and not sure when to use it all, you can go get all the items, logout and copy your char on the PTR and train, so you wont waste the items you have gathered, then do this til you know exactly what to do at all time, its a shame to get far in and then make a mistake and have to start all over, and get items again..

Comment by 25roses
This was a lot of fun. Even grinding the recipes for the major potions wasn't too bad. A tremendous job by all who contributed to this. Thank you and the WoW developers for a whole lot of fun.

Comment by Solstrike
You won't be able to use Winterfall Firewater with a flask on. If you're like me and doing the cave after a raid, remember to remove your flask buff. You'll get "A more powerful spell is already active" and with 15+ buffs on my bar I wasn't sure at first which buff was causing the error, hah

I can confirm - I just did the cave without doing the Gordok Ogre Suit/Winterfall Firewater part. I accidentally clicked off the Ogre Suit while trying to click off my flask (which was preventing me from using the Firewater).

Based on other comments here - It seems you have to do EITHER the Gordok Ogre Suit/Firewater OR the Pygmy/Perky Pug+Princess, not both.

We've had confirmed comments stating that they were done without doing one or the other.

I had a lot of trouble finding the cave entrance, it is north of Frostsaber Rock, over the mountain range in an area called the Great Sea, I don't see how you could get there without flying but it might be possible to run around the coast from somewhere. If you go too far down the mountains towards the sea your coordinates turn to zero so stay a little above where they do that. Fly around the mountains until you get to 48.52, 0.22, then turn north and fly down the cliff, you will see a number of trees and amongst them a pile of boulders much darker than any others, that's it.

As a result, all of the mats are basically being monopolized and hiked on the AH. Might be better to self-gather or trade.

Comment by stevegray
So gutted, I got to the very end, went to use my scroll and I got the message "Can not use, you are silenced..." The only thing I did differently - maybe incorrectly - was to remove my ogre suit to I could see when I became a pigmy for the Wisdom Cube.... I was then told by guildies "oh, yeah, its a bit buggy" WTH? Sad face, off to farm coin/suit/pots again.... /sigh

This pet does not fly alongside your flying mount. It will despawn the moment you take off, and sometimes refuse to automatically spawn again when you land, similar to many other flying yet not actually flying pets.

I find it infuriating that even a pet this rare (expensive) can't fly. People have been complaining about flying pets not being able to actually fly for years, but apparently it is still completely random which pets get the privilege of flying and which don't.

One example of the complete randomness that determines pets' ability to fly:

Hyjal Wisp This can't fly
Spirit of Summer This can fly

Same model, different color. One can fly, the other can't.

I wonder how many more years it will take Blizzard to realize that this is frustrating for many pet collectors and do a pass of ALL pets giving at least the ones that are clearly airborne the ability to actually fly.

Now I get disconnected every two seconds in the cave as well.

Thank you so much to everyone who posted these guides-- they were excellent and I had a lot of fun with the whole thing. Really enjoyed the adventure of getting and/or making all the required items, and I especially enjoyed going through the cave. It felt like a mysterious and cool adventure to me, and would probably have been immensely frustrating if not for all the detailed advice on here.

If you're trying to grind for the common-mob dropped Protection Potion recipes and your alchemist is a leather or mail armor class, I'd highly recommend using the leatherworking crafted legendary (either Vigilance Perch or The Sentinel's Eternal Refuge), as it makes it far easier to run around killing the mobs. My alchemist is a druid and even with access to instant flight form, it's simply easier being able to have an auto-shifted flight form that activates as soon as you leave combat. As long as you keep killing mobs in the area, you shouldn't have any problem keeping the 5 stacks up at all times. Just use an instant cast spell to one shot things (and if it's a free resource-generator, even better, i.e. Moonfire or ), loot and fly to the next mob or group of mobs.

Comment by krakokot
I made Scroll of Intellect VII and... couldn't use it inside the cave because of silence.
So you should make/buy Scroll of Intellect level I or use your high level scroll before start of this even, outside of the cave (you will get 30 min buff).

Comment by Tinkerbell2
I can confirm that druids still have the ability to shapeshift even in the cave so I was able to do this a little faster because I was in my cat form. Hope this helps my fellow druids.

Comment by Tinkerbell2
Aside from being able to actually be in your cat/bear form while doing this event, you can also use all the items up the scroll and as long as you keep the buffs up you can just run right through and you wont get ported out

Comment by Freon
A brief note about using Direbrew's Remote when going to get Dire Brew:
Direbrew's Remote used to take you directly to the Grim Guzzler, which would have been hugely convenient. Back then, they had to undo the Shadowforge Lock when you ported in this way, otherwise it would have been impossible to reach the early parts of the dungeon, as there's no way to unlock it from that side. But apparently as of around the time Legion was released, Direbrew's Remote now takes you to the very beginning of the dungeon, yet retains the formerly necessary property of undoing the Shadowforge Lock for you. When you get inside the East Garrison and don't find a Shadowforge Lock to click on, this could be the reason.

Comment by zharshoul
carved ogre idol does not work in the cave if anyone was thinking to use it instead of the gordok ogre suit

Comment by Deathisi
Really easy to follow guide, thanks guys!

Comment by antoniop23
One nice thing that can be taken as a relief is the fact that one, if need be, can safely log out during any part of the cave and log back in later to pick up where one had left off. This is particularly handy if one of the required items was somehow forgotten or mixed up. Fortunately the Guild Perk, Mobile Banking, is usable while Consuming Silence is active. This allows the option to log over to an alt and pick up any missing item, deposit the item into the Guild Bank, and log back to the cave to finish up!

Comment by Keyserling
Before you enter the cave: REMOVE ALL YOUR CURRENT BUFF. Stuff like flask, augment rune and fel focuser buff especially, as they will prevent some of the others buffs to be applied.

Comment by superprokop
No longer need to use Perky Pug. Completely forgot to get the princess costume and went and did it with out one.

Comment by Deltethnia
Once the Dark Iron Dwarf race is available to players I wonder if that will negate the need for the Dire Brew...?

Comment by Omduel
The Wisdom Cube seems like a reference to Free masons btw.

Comment by Naj4
Easily done, thanks for the guide :)

Comment by aLF1k
Dont be silly like me, pet can be bought on the Auc, AND IT COSTS 11k (twisting-nether) instead I've spend over 25k on regs and ridiculos amount of time and that is considering that I've done the cave with my 1st try. I know you can check if pet is cageable or not, but that did not occure to me due to its extreme way of obtaining. But Blizz never stops surprising.
That fact about buying the pet, should be the 1st what you read when "googling" the pet.

Comment by SilverDragon234
Seeing this on the AH proves that you do not specifically have to solve the puzzle.

Comment by Avisrara
If you plan to do this on an alt, save yourself a trip to Townlong by looting an additional Water Stone. The item is unique so you can only ever have one in your bag. But, on the character that went through the wall of vines, you can consume the water stone buff and loot an additional one that can be mailed to an alt.

Also, don't make the mistake I did and try to use the 6 major protection potions before arriving at the cave to save sometime. The buff duration inside the cave is 17 mins but outside, it's the standard 2 mins (as indicated on the potions).

I can confirm another comment here which mentions that the Ogre suit and Winterfall firewater is optional if you already have Perky Pug and Pygmy Oil. This will save a trip to Feralas and killing the Furblogs in Winterspring.

Comment by Weasei
It is worth noting that because of Consuming Silence you can't use toys like The Innkeeper's Daughter so if you don't have a normal Hearthstone in your bag, hearthing is not an option!

Garrison Hearthstone and Dalaran Hearthstone both work fine too!

Comment by serenadb83
For those wondering the cave of consumption is on the back side of the mountain all the way down by the cost coords 57.05/15.9

Comment by Lerna
The entrance to the Caverns of Consumption is at 57,16 in Winterspring.

Here is a nice video from Hazelnuttygames on were to get everything and how to go through the cave. Good Luck!

Edit: PS Make sure you have a Scroll of Intellect Lv1 - very important! The other scrolls don't work.

Comment by Poisonfrog13
Does anyone know if Iron Boot Flask Iron Boot Flask toy works in place of Dire Brew?

Comment by Kendrubbin
Currently impossible to get due to the potions being changed to 2 minute duration, down from 5.

Comment by AntPDC
With thanks to those who commented earlier in this thread, I just completed this WITHOUT a Perky Pug/little princess outfit. If you don't have the pug, simply SKIP the WISDOM CUBE chamber entirely and head down the ramp after using the Gordok Ogre Suit/Winterspring Firewater combo in the other chamber. The vine door blocking the chamber with the egg will be open! I guess this works similarly if you have the pug, but not the Gordok Ogre Suit/Firewater. I don't have the Perky Pug (I hate pug groups), so it was nice to see an alternative path open.
