Quick answer: grab the wanted poster outside the Freewind Post inn (46.0, 50.9), take the marked path up to Darkcloud Pinnacle at 31.2, 37.0, cross the rope bridges to the north cliff and kill Arnak around 38.1, 26.9. Bring Arnak's Hoof back to Cliffwatcher Longhorn.

Getting there

  1. 1
    Start at Freewind Post

    The wanted poster hangs outside the inn (46.0, 50.9). Cliffwatcher Longhorn - your turn-in - stands right nearby, northwest of the mailbox.

  2. 2
    Find the path up

    Head south on the road from the Great Lift until it splits. Turn left and watch the left side - a path marked by a totem pole climbs at 31.2, 37.0.

  3. 3
    Cross Darkcloud Pinnacle

    Follow the spiral path and rope bridges to the cliff face north of Darkcloud Pinnacle, below Razorfen Downs. At the last bridge, go left toward the Grimtotem.

  4. 4
    Kill Arnak

    He's among the Grimtotem tauren at about 38.1, 26.9. Guards can be pulled individually with care - and keep your back off the edge: Arnak has a knockback.

  5. 5
    Turn in

    Bring Arnak's Hoof to Cliffwatcher Longhorn in Freewind Post (45.7, 50.7).

Don't miss the escort quest

Free at Last: Lakota Windsong - the tauren Arnak kidnapped - is on the same cliff. After Arnak dies, talk to her to start a level 29 escort quest back down. Do both in one trip.

FAQ

Why was Arnak wanted?

Murder and kidnapping - he killed Lakota Windsong's brother and took her captive on the pinnacle.

Can Alliance get this quest?

No - it's Horde-only, picked up at a Horde outpost.

Soloable at 25?

Arnak himself is a straightforward kill; the risk is the surrounding Grimtotem plus his knockback near the cliff edge. Pull guards one at a time and fight away from the drop.
