In case someone comes here looking for help, the quest seems to be bugged at this point. I've opened a ticket. I definitely 'captured Haiti's essence'. Thorim is all glowy like I should be able to interact with him. Grif does not have any dialog for me. I've logged out twice to the character selection screen. But "Rendezvous with Thorim" remains 0/1 complete. There was a lot of chat in general and trade from other hunters having issues, as well. Edited to say I tried hanging out at Thorim for quite some time. Like maybe 15 minutes. I got up and moved, went back to Thorim and sat some more. Still no joy. Blizzard asked me to make a Bug Report ....

MASSIVE server lag. C'mon Blizz, you know how many hunters you have playing the game, be ready when you create something they all want to do.

Part 1: Died three times (not like me, I hope that was scripted). Upon resurrecting the last time, Hati was once again orange instead of red, the Thunderspark appeared to be reaction on his nose (perpetually), nothing was happening and I couldn't seem to make anything happen so, after a couple reloads and a relog, I abandoned the quest. I haven't yet figured out how to pick up the quest again. Any tips, suggestions, ideas? The original NPC is no longer in Boralus for me.

Solved: If you drop the quest at the Altar of Storms (like I did) you can fly back to the library in Storm Peaks and re-pickup the quest from the Image of Mimiron. Succeeded in completing part 1 (after one more death - not sure this is worth it, but I'm stubborn).

Part 2 bugged the same way as part 1. After rezzing the second time, Hati was once again orange, at about 20 percent health and not targetable. The Thunderspark appeared to be perpetually attempting to work on him/her with no effect. Attempts at interaction with all relevant NPCs was negative. Dropping the quest at this point. I'll edit again when I figure out where to pick it up again.

So. Arrive, talk to Grif, ATTACK Hati as soon as you can, trying to dodge the ouchy lightning bolts because they will kill you. Get Hati's health down to around 20% and then use the absorber - it happens quickly if you avoid the lightning.

If you get killed, just go back and get your body, run behind one of the pillars and heal (and rez your pet) and try again. I died 4 times before I finally went to a different site than Wowhead and found out yes you do attack Hati first. DOH.

Either I'm severely undergeared, or this is currently far too difficult. During the second part in particular, if Lightning Tether hits you ONCE you might as well just give in to death's sweet embrace. The stun lasts way too long, and resets as Hati bombards you with yet more lightning.

Comment by Alardara

Thought I had issues, however use the special button beside quest to do the absorbing, do not try to use the normal tame button. Then quest will complete with no problems.

Comment by SierraFred

Maybe it is scripted. On third rez I got ready to really whomp on him, and he was just sitting there at 20% health. Used the spark, and he was full of little valentine hearts! Not too expensive for the repairs (60 g). As long as you rez and get behind the pillar (great tip, pangolin42) you have as long as you want to heal normally.

Easy win for this quest and next one:
1. Don't fight, don't hit, don't get aggro'. Let Grif Wildheart and hit companion, along with your companion, attack.
2. Move/run away from bad stuff, once in a while heal your pet, and your self if you can
3. Feign Death every time he lock on you
4. ?
5. Profit: use Thunderspark when 20% hp

Comment by Sunreaver

After numerous attempts, I don't know that's it's even possible to do this without dying. Especially the second part in Silithus. Up on the Tower of Storms, I died and had to rez 6 or 7 times to finish. In Silithus it's even worse because the lightning balls root you in place for something like 14 seconds, making it impossible to dodge the tendrils of Death when they come a'knockin'.

Fortunately, the fight is not reset when you die, so the only price is the trek back and the repair bill. The event is scripted - once the Essence of Hati reaches 20% health it will be stunned and stand there waiting for you to use the quest item. Doing so makes little hearts appear over its head, like when you tame a pet.

When you're finally done with the questline and have gone back & forth between Storm Peaks and Silithus, you're rewarded with six tameable versions of Hati, plus an assortment of toys. One of them - the Ironspine Protocol - allows you to ride your summoned variation like a mount for up to an hour. It's consumed on use and you lose the mount effect when you hearthstone or take a portal somewhere.You'll have to buy a whole stack of 'em to keep doing it.

Note that the quest gives you the first variation of Hati, so you can skip that one when summoning the others. I didn't realize that and ended up with two copies of that one. Fortunately, at that point you can abandon Hati just like any other pet.

I'm pretty sure this entire quest chain is a big joke on hunters.

Comment by bigbadfarmerjon

It appears this quest phases the entire zone of Storm Peaks. I came to do this quest and figured I'd run Ulduar as well, since I made the trip.

I was not able to enter the raid zone. I wen't back to Dalran to pick up the breadcrumb to go to K3 thinking maybe never starting the zone on this character was the issue. When I arrived, all of the NPC's were phased out.

Upon completing the quest, zone out and back in, everything went back to normal. I also got one shot by the quest NPC, 10 times. What is wrong with this quest?

Comment by ordamo

this quest is currently bugged too, I bring down Hati to 20% but then he becomes orange (not attackable) and heals to full hp, making him unabsorbable

Comment by Tilra

I have no clue what's going on but Hati keeps coming after me and ignoring any taunts my pet does. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Comment by scourge2

Couldn't "rendezvous with Thorim". Abandoned quest and tried again. Worked like normal for me that time.

if u do it u will under stand the other posts, ty for all ur info.i wish i could explane what i did....i read all the info...only if i could explane it. wish u all the best luck

Comment by jfoobar

Don't know if they nerfed the damage on this in a recent patch or I am just much better geared this time but I took Hati down and never dropped below 90% health just now. The first time I did this quest on another hunter in fairly fresh 120 greens, I died easily like other's mention below. This time I didn't bother with this questline until i was about 415 ilvl and it was easy.

Comment by Jasperau

what an UTTERLY dreadful quest chain, massively overturned and the best way to finish it is to AFK on your mount - stupid quest design, then it bugged out on the second part and I had to go back to storm peaks to pick up again and redo it. Whoever did this quest chain should be fired from wiritng quests and relegated to painting rocks as that is clearly where there skill level is at

Description

Through the glorious wonder of science, I have managed to keep the Thunderspark powered precisely for this purpose. All you need to do is get to the Temple of Storms and absorb Hati's essence into it. Just... kind of point it in his general direction. Oh, and do keep in mind that this is only one part of Hati. You may run into a few... technical difficulties before he's subdued enough for the absorption protocol.
