Probably a reference to the Bruce Lee movie

The cinematic for this quest bugged on me and the models disappeared. Sat through about a minute and a half of pure-nothingness and camera adjusting. Woohoo for bugged quests.

Comment by 545061

the cinematic bugged for me also, can someone tell what happened or post a video?

Comment by Xbander

They need to get rid of Alexstrasza's granny voice. Put the old one back. Making that robust blood elf figure sound like Jessica Tandy just doesn't sit well.

For real, that's one thing about WotLK that should've carried over.

Comment by 527823

Same thing. Would really like to know what happened there :D. But, well, probably till I will be leveling an alt this bug (?) will be fixed.

WARNING PET OWNERS
Dismiss your pet before you hand this one in. My ghoul kept getting in the way of my camera (and screenshots!) and partially blocked my view of the RP.

Comment by penguinsane

The cinematic disconnected me and now I'm stuck out of phase, I assume. I have no quests to turn in, none to abandon, none to pick up again, so I'm unable to complete the questline.

The issue is affecting me everywhere on the game. I'm stuck in a phased state, there are no NPCs in any cities for me. :/

I have a ticket in, I'll edit once I have a solution.

*reads quest title*

*reads first sentence of quest text*

*blinks several times, then snickers*

Comment by Jessi330

HALP! How do you get this quest? I have looked everywhere.

Comment by Jessi330

To start this quest chain, you must have done the Earthen Ring quests with this guy Torunscar and some others there leading to (the Maw of Madness) which sends you to do the quest chain with the gob squad with NPC Patch. Precious Goods.

Comment by lokepk

Hey you! Missed the cinematic for some reason or forgot to turn up your sound? Watch it here then.

Leads to Battle of Life and Death

Comment by 634907

I was watching the two cutscenes, all I could think while Alexstrasza was on screen was...

DAT ASS

Comment by Amisce

Why was this downrated? It IS a bug, and it just happened to me, too. It's worth noting that this may bug for some people, and they'll miss the whole cutscene. There is, of course, no do-over, so thanks to lokepk for posting the video below!

You can find the full cinematic here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVeB931rR9s&feature=related

It bugged for me too :( very sad.

Comment by factura

This is part of a questline, which is great for tanks gearing up for heroic because one of the final rewards is Za'brox's Lucky Tooth. It's a longish questline, but well worth doing as this is a really good trinket. It took me about 2 hours to get to the quest that gives this item, I've kept a log of the quests and I hope this post is useful to people considering taking this on. Chains that are marked in Wowhead are grouped together, non-obvious jumps are on the next paragraph.
This post should help people who either found this page and don't know how to get this quest, or who are trying to decide whether to do this questline to get the trinket all us new tanks seem to be after.

The Maw of Madness
Torn Ground
Pushing Back
The Maw of Iso'rath
Devoured
The Worldbreaker
The Terrors of Iso'rath
Nightmare

Warm Welcome
Even Dragons Bleed
Draconic Mending
In Defense of the Redoubt

The following 3 are not chained, but all need to be done to get to the next set of quests
Encroaching Twilight
Far from the Nest
Breach in the Defenses

Mathias' Command

Easy Pickings
Precious Goods
If The Key Fits
Pressing Forward

Enter the Dragon Queen This is a great cutscene, worth doing the questline even if you aren't after the trinket.

Battle of Life and Death Another great cutscene at the end
And the Sky Streaked Red

Blackout
A Fitting End
Shining Through the Dark
Following the Young Home
Last of Her Kind

Victors' Point
Ogres & Ettins
Call in the Artillery
SI:7 Drop
Move the Mountain
Signal the Attack
Four Heads are Better than None which finally rewards the Za'brox's Lucky Tooth

Comment by mouseno4

When i first heard the audio files from the beta, i was like ''carry the dragon queen out of here'' wtf? She is a 100 meter dragon... how am i meant to 'carry' her anywhere? Im a paper thin blood elf for crying out loud!

Until i saw the finished cinematic, where her elf body is slumped over the back of a red vermilion drake, and that technically i dont actually carry her at all.

Comment by 162742

Easy Pickings, Precious Goods, If the Key Fits, and Pressing Forward all lead to…

This quest, Enter the Dragon Queen…

Nope, nothing suggestive about that. Not at all. ;P

Sometimes, I seriously wonder if Blizzard WANTS people to be spamming trade chat with their tooltips...

EDIT: I also find it an odd coincidence that the number 69 was in the captcha code to this post...

Comment by 380933

this was supposed to be the title of the sequel that never went into production. it was about bruce lee fighting drag queens.

Comment by Mayhem00

It's a reference to Enter Sandman

Comment by 487694

Is it normal that when you attempt to fly from Grim Batol to Lirastrasza in a straight line your mount turns upside down and the other way round, so you need to fly backwards? Hell, it's funny to watch.

Comment by 950815

So Krasus isn't in sight you say... Well now... I guess I'll have to fill in...

Comment by boombx123

"Hello, <race>. I wish we could meet in more favorable circumstances."
Seems as though she's forgot all of that work in Dragonblight.....

Comment by 787695

I think the quest title may be a reference(yes, I'm aware of the other comments on this page) to the Spyro game called Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
well, at least, that as the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the quest title

Comment by Sentiray

Has anyone realised that if you do this quest you get the achievement Explore Wetlands if you don't have it already.
Think about it for a second. Enter the dragon queen... Explore Wetlands

Comment by Berronaxwins

Oh how awesome.. 7th character in a row the cinematic has bugged..

More blizzard incompetence..

Comment by THRobinson

Ya, mine was just a screen of grass... no idea what was happening, finally cancelled the cinematic because was totally pointless to watch. Thankfully YouTube has it.

Comment by Darkaara

"I wish we could meet in more favorable circumstances." I think being inside you is pretty favorable. Giggity.

Comment by WoWGnGP

i made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Enter the Dragon Queen

Seek out Lirastrasza at the Circle of Life in Twilight Highlands.

Description

Hello, <race>. I wish we could meet in more favorable circumstances. The world hangs by a thread, and all that the Titans have wrought may be in jeopardy.

It saddens me greatly, but my judgment is final. Deathwing - the horrific creature that was once the Earth Warder and once my friend - must be destroyed.

I have prepared a site atop the Highlands, to the west of the Vermillion Redoubt, where I can bring about his end. Seek out the Circle of Life and speak with Lirastrasza within. I will join you there.
