He can be found outside of the clean room. Once you accept the quest, the bomb follows you. Clear out the mobs on his way out and let him leave the instance. Once your done, go to Booty Bay.

You'll find him in the Dormitory, top-left room as you face the south ramped wall. (It's north-facing)

The dormitory can be found on the southern part of the far eastern side of the instance, south of the front entrance.

The dude you escort will follow you instead of leading the way, so you can take your time with no need to clear a path.

My group just went through Gnomer, and we cleared every one of the little "hole" rooms in the walls in the room below the Clean Room, yet we could not find this guy. Has he been removed?

P.S. No bomb either!

Comment by adashiel

It was probobly because one of the group members had done the quest.

He should be there even if everyone has done the quest, but he's hard to see. It's dark in those rooms, and, since he's lying prone, he blends in. On the Gnomeregan run I went to last night I checked the same room three times before I finally saw him.

Comment by Kurasu

Unlike the other escort quests up until this point (and most if not all after this for that matter), he will tag along with you instead of walking on ahead. He also will not run up and aggro the enemy, even if you start fighting them.

However, as a trade-off, he is extremely weak. Make certain you've taken care of all the Ambushers! One of them ended up failing me this quest by running up while I was clearing another enemy and shiving him. I didn't have time to see it before he was dead. Thought for a moment that it was a timed quest or something until I realized what had happened!

EDIT: Apparently, this *is* a timed quest, where if you take long enough, the bomb destructs and kills him. However, I'm pretty sure it was an Ambusher who did the job for me in this one, or at least took a few shots at him while we were escaping.

ok we failed the quest and abandoned it. then went to find him again and could not find him. are we all blind or is it not possile to pick back up?

Comment by Kurasu

It is definitely possible to pick him back up. After failing it once and abandoning it, I was later able to succeed. He may not be in the same location he was in before, though. /target Kernobee will help you find him is a walk-around can't.

Comment by rlloyd3

You lead Kernobee to the front entrance.

Comment by heppcatt

Doesn't count towards Achievement "Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms" or "Loremaster of Kalimdor".

Comment by silversonic

Shortcut, you can take him out the entrance. Just fight your way to him, get him, and walk the cleared path back to the entrance to get this completed.

Comment by cr4shmaster

i just failed it 5 times... when i get to the exit n the bomb says "self-destruct sequence initiated. 20 seconds left" or whatever it says... if i stay, it explodes n i fail the quest... n if i get out, the booty bay guy disappears n nothing happens

Comment by DeathBlood

Apparently Kernobee only aggros other enemies if you fight them. Very easy for a rogue or druid to stealth by everyone. There is 1 ambush near the front entrance though.

Comment by MaggotInTears

I tried this the first time when I went into Gnomeregan. I failed because I was briefly disconnected. The group leader decided to take me back through, and we got another party member to stay, along to recruit a level 32 human warrior. So now we had a level 28 human paladin (me), a level 22 night elf rogue, a level 32 human warrior, and a level 59 dwarf death knight (who switched to his level 49 human paladin). We serached the entire room for at least an hour, even after the leader reset the instance three times. But today, when I went in here as a now level 32 human paladin by myself, I saw the golden exclamation mark on my mini-map. I found him, but was killed before I could even walk towards him. (gotta be careful with Consecration...woops!) You probably just need to clear your instances when you're NOT in a group to reset it.

Comment by chocrin

Took me quite some time to find the questgiver, so here are some instructions to get to him.

Enter Gnomeregan and head to the safe room. Go through it and out the other side. On your right side there is a wall with holes in it. You can walk up this wall so take the top second hole. Quest giver is to your left when you enter.

Good luck.

Here is a helpful map of the instance and walk-through pinpointed this guy so you can zip through the quest.

Counts towards 3000 Quests Completed.

Comment by Psyklone

Be sure to think "Am I hated with BB?" before clicking on the FP.

Comment by Takata

How do you know if these quests count or not for Loremaster? You won't know until we've done them and we get a credit point for it....

A Fine Mess

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Escort Kernobee to the Clockwerk Run exit and then report to Scooty in Booty Bay.

	Kernobee Rescue

Description

<Kernobee groans.> Wha.. What happened?

The last thing I remember is being captured by a group of dark iron dwarves, beaten to within an inch of my life and then thrown in here with these filthy troggs.

Get me out of here, <name>!

Here's the plan: Lead me to the exit; if we make it out alive, you go to Booty Bay and let Scooty know that I went to Ratchet to warn Tinkerwiz of the dark iron's involvement in the making of that super rig.

Let's get going!
