What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in The Forbidden Reach, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
We got past the Primalist incursion. Now we must reach the creche. Scalecommander Sarkareth is as tough as they come, and his weyrn holds the line. But a dragon has the Ebon Scales pinned down. Time for us to join the fight! Take point. Give the signal when we are in range of the dragon. Then we hit it with everything we have. Watch out for ambushes. I have a bad feeling about this.
Plan the run before you travel
The Forbidden Reach belongs to the The War Within archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
Before this quest
Blizzard publishes a quest's prerequisites but not what follows it, so this chain runs backwards only.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 65052 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “The Ebon Scales” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(65052))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(65052))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
