Quest Text
{name}, my son is out with the kobyss. He convinced the other kids they should sneak out with him to fight. Said they should, "be brave like my dad". When they met a kobyss, the others all ran back here, while he ran toward the crashed ship, to lead it away. I have not handled myself bravely, {name}. The story of the Indomitable says I was a hero; those lies were my report. If there was ever a time to step up, it's now. But I'm no match for the kobyss alone. Come with me, {name}--help me save Maximillian.
Plan the run before you travel
Hallowfall 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.
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 78691 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 One That Got Away” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(78691))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(78691))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.
