A Missing Hand Quest Guide: Find Heglan Shadeeye in World of Warcraft

A Missing Hand is an early Horde quest in Durotar that asks for one simple thing: find the NPC Heglan Shadeeye. There is no item to collect and no boss to defeat for the turn-in itself. The only real obstacle is the pack of Clattering Scorpids guarding the ruined hut where Heglan waits.

Quick answer: Travel east from Razor Hill to the ruined hut north of Dreadmist Peak, speak to Heglan Shadeeye, then click Complete Quest.

A Missing Hand quest details

The quest is completed entirely inside Durotar. The objective tracker reads “Find Heglan Shadeeye north of Dreadmist Peak,” and the turn-in NPC is the same character you speak to at the hut.

Where to find Heglan Shadeeye

Heglan Shadeeye is in a battered hut on a red-dirt clearing, beyond Razor Hill to the east and on the northern side of Dreadmist Peak. When you get close, a yellow question mark appears on both the map and minimap. Several Clattering Scorpids roam near the hut entrance, so you’ll face a brief fight as you approach.

How to complete A Missing Hand

Leave Razor Hill and head east toward the hills near the coast. Keep moving in the direction of Dreadmist Peak, staying on the red terrain.

Look for the ruined hut on the open red dirt clearing. It is the only structure in the area, so it stands out against the surrounding hills.

Deal with the Clattering Scorpids patrolling the entrance. You can fight through them or slip past to reach the doorway.

Step inside and speak to Heglan Shadeeye, then click Complete Quest to finish A Missing Hand and pick up the reward.

How to confirm the quest is complete

After you click Complete Quest, the chat log confirms “A Missing Hand completed” along with “Experience gained: 90” and the two reputation increases. The quest also disappears from your objective tracker. At that point, Heglan Shadeeye offers the follow-up quest, Threat from Below.

What comes next: Threat from Below

Threat from Below continues the same storyline and tasks you with recovering Jason’s Sword, which was lost in a cave in the crags north of Dreadmist Peak. The objective shows as 0/1 Jason’s Sword, and you bring the sword back to Heglan Shadeeye at the same hut once you have it. Accepting this quest right after the turn-in keeps you moving through the area without backtracking.
