Rescue OOX-22/FE!

Escort OOX-22/FE to the dock along the Forgotten Coast, then report to Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay.
  •  
 Escort OOX-22/FE to the dock along the Forgotten Coast

Description

The gnome's voice crackles once again from the robot:

"I need to move OOX-22/FE to an open, safe place so it can begin a lengthy take-off procedure. It has built-in cloaking, but I need time on my end to make it operational again. Escort the robot from its current location to, let's say, the dock along the Forgotten Coast! That should be a perfect place, and long enough, to get things online!"

"Escort it safely to the dock, and then come talk to me in Booty Bay! Oglethorpe Obnoticus - out!"

If the chicken is not moving then likely someone else is already working on the escort quest. This can take 15 to 30 mins to complete...

When you do get the chicken to start moving he'll head out of the cave and up towards the road.

Before you reach the road, the chicken will cry out a "Spatial anomaly" warning and three Yetis will appear and attack it.

After this fight the chicken will continue (without a break I might add) and start walking west along the road. About halfway(?) to the shore you'll get another warning and get attacked by 3 gorillas.

Once you turn left off the road, towards the shore there is a final swarm attack - 4 gnolls come to whack you.

Once you finally get to the beach the quest will complete and you'll need to head to Booty Bay to collect your reward. :)

This is a very tough quest to solo. On the other hand I did it twice as a 47 Shammy with a 44 Hunter friend and it was a piece of cake. Good luck!

There are two other "chicken" quests, one in Tanaris https://classicdb.ch/item=4508 and one in Hinterlands https://classicdb.ch/item=4730
After you do all three quests there is a special reward from Oglethorpe Obnoticus (sp?)

What I did for Feralas and Hinterlands (for Tanaris I had help) to do them solo as a 50 Druid was:

1) Clear out the first set of creatures on the route - slimes for Hinterlands, yetis for Feralas.

2) Follow the chicken stealthed if possible, or if not, don't let any creatures aggro on YOU.&nbsp If they aggro on the chicken, and the chicken keeps walking, don't interfere.&nbsp The chicken will walk away unhurt eventually, but if the creature aggro's on you, the chicken will either help out (and maybe get killed), or walk too far away from you and the quest will fail.

3) When the chicken detects an ambush, RUN OUT IN FRONT and aggro ALL of the ambush creatures, and anything else in the chicken's path!&nbsp Run down the path pulling the creatures with you, and eventually they will give up and run back to the ambush point.&nbsp The trick is that now the chicken will have walked far enough past the ambush point that the creatures won't see it, and you get away clean!&nbsp Be sure not to run too fast and get too far away from the chicken (and the quest fails), but also be sure to run fast enough that the chicken doesn't aggro one of the creatures onto itself!&nbsp It's kind of a balancing act.

4) Try again and again after you fail.&nbsp You will get better at it.

5) If you are about to try it solo, go ahead and tell the General channel that you are going to try the chicken escort, and please if anyone is on the path, could they hang out and help kill the ambushes, or even come run interference?&nbsp I know that if I hear you, I am going to help out, because I know what a bear these quests are.

As you are escorting the robot chicken to its desination, you will encounter three group spawns of mobs that occur due to the quest.
The first spawn consists of three yetis, and you shall encounter them just north of the cave you found the robot in.
The second spawn consits of three gorillas, and you will encounter them just after turning north on the main path.
You will encounter a third group consisting of four or five furbolgs where the road forks after you cross a stone bridge near a waterfall.

Just soloed this last night as a level 48 Warrior. Just wanted to see if I could do it solo and was barely able to.

First wave hits you just as you turn left from mouth of cave and start up hill to road. 3 yeti.

Next wave is 3 apes as you are heading down the path along the cliff.

Last wave comes as you turn left off path to head to docks. 4 gnolls, 1 was caster.

If you are having trouble completing this quest due to the escort running off, here is the problem and solution:

Problem~
As with many things in wow, Blizzard did not test this quest using all classes and skill levels. Being an escort quest, we naturally want to keep the escort alive. If you are taking all the agro from the chicken, like using an AoE or multishot, the chicken will not know it is combat due to the fact that it has not been "hit" or damaged.

Solution~
Let the little bastard take some damage. Make sure you are in the area of the mobs AND the chicken. If you have a pet, put it on passive then TAKE the agro from the chicken. It will continue to fight for you and not run away. It will NOT however tell our friends at Blizzard to fix the problem. Submit a game ticket so the developers will pay attention to the detail that makes or breaks this game.

to be a little more specific than coordinates 28, 76 (cause I wasted alot of time chasing that little dot) the easiet way to find this guy is when you get to First Mate Crazz&nbsp (on the main dock) stop, face the buildings behind him and look up...Oglethorpe is in the hut directly above him...just take the ramp up there...hope this info makes this quest less "Obnoxious"!

On another note glad to report that quest worked fine and there was a "?" above Oglethorpe's head.

I just did this one last night solo, and failed, but I did notice something noone else made mention of.

I'm a 47 Rogue with max Master of Deception. I remained in stealth while following the chicken (Some Camo to keep me up to it's speed), and as the mobs spawned, they ran by the chicken, and didn't attack it at all. The yetis ignored the chicken, the gorilla's ignored the chicken.

But the Gnolls stopped and started to attack the chicken, and I couldn't pull aggro quick enough to keep the chicken alive, so quest failed, but information gained.

Happy hunting.

Edit: Did it again, chicken pulled aggro from each group even though I stayed stealth, might have been a glitch the first time through.

Just finished the quest 13-5-06 lvl 56 rogue. Tried different combinations and here is the facts:

After entering the first part of the cave clear it by killing the 2 yetis inside. The robot is surrounded by up to 3 yetis which are kind of scattered so you can kill them one by one.

Waking up the robot will make it move using a route that will attract 2 more yetis. Kill them fast since 3 more will spawn. Supposing you kill the first spawn the robot will continue not pulling any more aggro for the time being.

Moments later it will detect threat which is basically 3 monkeys that will jump you. If youre rogue and stealthed cheap shot one and pull aggro from another because the robot will not handle two mobs. Done? now is the good part.

Bandage fast and follow the robot. After the bridge it will stop again and will be jumped by 4 alphas. The alphas have a healer with them so take him out fast. They also tend to run away when at low hp so guard the robot because it tends to hunt them down. After that you re done and the escort completes itself with the robot vanishing.

This quest is good for all classes that can crowd control or pull aggro and tank it. Will be a bugger for rogues and its certainly not a lvl 45 quest. Reward is pretty decent for a rogue sux for all other classes.

Soloed as a 46 rogue. At the yetis, the chicken somehow aggroed a bear as well so I had to fight 4 mobs. Used Adrenaline Rush, Evasion and Blade Flurry. I was out of potions, so by the end (only a yeti and the bear left) I had REALLY low health. The chicken had near-full health, so I vanished, waited a while, used cheap shot on the yeti and killed him. The bear was level 41, so taking him down wasn't hard.
Didn't really have a problem with the gorillas. Blade Flurry and Evasion took care of it.
The gnolls took me by surprise so I didn't have crippling poison on my swords. When one of them ran at low health, I followed it like an idiot thinking the others would go after me. However, only two of them did, and the other started attacking the chicken. I attacked him, while the other two kept attacking me. Near the end I had to Vanish again, and the remaining two started attacking the chicken. I used cheap shot on one of them after gaining some of my health back, aggroing it, while the other kept attacking the chicken. When I killed it, the other one started targetting me. I managed to dodge a couple of its attacks and killed it with ~50 health left. Pretty tough quest.

Something interesting I noticed as I did this quest on my Druwowhead:1,id:

I did the first 2 spawns easily, but at the last spawn (the Gnolls) I stayed in stealth and they ran right by the chicken. Then they doubled back, ran by it again, and disappeared.

Whether or not they aggro in the first two I can't say, but it seems that if you can stealth you can completely ignore all the mobs (at least the third spanw.

Since you can aggro mobs and the chicken will not attack them, you can easily do this quest (and the hinterlands one, but not the tanaris one because of mob spawn points) by mounting, running ahead of the chicken when he alerts incoming, and training the mobs around on the mount until they de-aggro, happy questing!

Someone above did a great job detailing what happens . . . I did this with a solo 47th lvl, well equipped (no puns) rogue with a couple potion buffs and poison on both blades - it was still tough and I needed a healing potion. The 4 gnolls at the end will take most sub 50 lvl chrs to the edge . . . so, be prepped to throw down hard and good luck.

BTW: As a rule 'escort' quests suck.

I have tried these quests on two different servers, and have finally been able go do all three with my latest character!

I did the Tanaris quest no problem, then tried to do the Feralas quest, but the chicken wouldn't move, and I thought I was hosed again.&nbsp Later I did the Hinterlands quest (no problem).&nbsp A few days later I came back to Feralas and thought, just for laughs, I would check the chicken, and it worked!

I haven't turned in the last quest at Oglethorpe yet, but I got the all three chickens rescued.

Here's something I noticed - I first went to each chicken and completed the "found" quest.&nbsp Each chicken is really two quests, the first to find it and the second to escort it.&nbsp I noticed that for the two that I was able to later&nbsp escort, the chicken was lying down when I clicked it to take the quest.&nbsp However, the Feralas chicken was standing up when I clicked it for the escort quest, and it would not move after I took the quest.&nbsp I abandoned and retried the quest several times, and no luck.&nbsp But then, when I came back in a few days, the chicken was lying down, and when I accepted the quest, it jumped up and started moving.&nbsp I don't know if that is meaningful at all.

For what it's worth, I don't buy the whole "the chicken is busy because someone else is currently doing the quest" idea.&nbsp I always ran to look along the route when the chicken wouldn't move, and there was never anybody doing the quest.

I completed this as a level 46 priest, but it was REALLY hard.

If you are going to solo, follow Connery's advise, it works. Especially if you have a nice mass fear spell ^^.

I must say I remade this quest alot of times. Although I had no problems beating 3 level 45 mobs (Yetis at start), but a bear kept interfearing. ALWAYS clear the path the chicken is going to walk, even if you are not going to solo, facing 5+ mobs can still be a real pain.

About the "Chicken doesnt move" thing. Though i remade this quest alot of times, it never got stuck... hooray for the dragonmaw server ^^.

I soloed it as a 48 Paladin. It wasn't easy, but it was far from hard. Like someone else said, it's 3 Yeti, then 3 Gorillas, then 4 Gnolls. All of them between 41 and 44.

From what I've seen, if the chicken is standing, you can't do the quest. If it's lying down, you can.

Anyway, I soloed this with my 46 Priest. I cleared out the cave leading up to the chicken and then just followed him at a distance. If he fought, I fought, otherwise I just followed. Someone in a post above described it correctly I believe, you will face 3 Yetis, 3 Gorillas, and 4 Gnolls.

The Gorillas gave me problems, but I took out the others easily. I used SW:Pain on all of them, mind blasted one, then did a Fear...which gave me time to drink a healing pot. When they came back, their life pool was already close to halfway drained and I was able to finish them off.

I attempted to do this quest twice (at level 46) with a level 42 friend. Both times we were stymied at the first group of appearing mobs (3 lvl 46 yetis) because we couldn't kill them fast enough and the stupid damned chicken buggered off. If there had been a third person in the group, I'm sure it woud have been a lot easier.

Something to keep in mind, unlike the Tanaris rescue mission, the mobs that spawn in Feralas for the quest run at you from a distance. If you aggro them before they get a chance to hit the chicken it will run right past you and keep going likely causing you to fail.

for the yetis, you can just skip them, once you exit the cave, stay to behind 20 yards and to the right 10 yards or so.&nbsp The yetis will look like they will attack you but, theyll just be running around in circles after.

for the gorillas, let the chicken get aggro first, then dps the rest down as fast as you can... same thing with the gnolls at the end

Pretty simple, just kited the first two waves around with Cone of Cold. For the third wave, got a bit creative. Sheeped the caster, so the other 3 aggroed on me, and the chicken kept walking. So, I ditched the 3 mobs (frost nova ftw), went far enough away to get OOC, got quest completed, and the wave followed me before despawning about halfway there.

Pretty satisfied overall =)

Completed as a Troll Mage (Arcane/Fire, 16/21), at Level 46, by myself. AoE helps a lot, so do potions. If you can defeat the three yetis in the first wave (plus a possible bear add, it seems to always add no matter what if you don't clear that area before the quest start), then the rest of it should be a cakewalk for you.

There are three sets of mobs that spawn to kill you.
First three or more yetis just as you are leaving.
Second three more more apes on the road about halfway to the docks.
Finally three or more...geez I forget their name...but there is one more just before you turn off for the docks.

Just did this today solo as a 45 SPriest. The first wave I pulled back and dropped Shadowmeld to attempt to let the mobs walk right past him, they swarmed him immediately so I pulled aggro off of him and killed them, he joined. When the gorillas came, I ran ahead and grabbed aggro as quickly as possible, the chicken walked right past, and I was afraid I was going to have to kite them while keeping him within range. But the chicken doubled back, about 20 yards away, and helped with the battle. I wasn't confident in a 5-on-1 situation, so I mounted, and ran ahead when he alerted about the third ambush. I ran right through the group, and they all aggro'd me and I was able to lose them, and finish the quest with ease, although I used the help of a bubble just before I mounted. My advice is to fight the first two, taking aggro and staying close enough for him to register combat, and to mount-kite the third set.
