This is one of my new favorite quests in the Cataclysm expansion. The dialogue was great! The music, even hearing it in real life was hypnotic! A friend of mine told me its a reference to the odyssey. Is it, really?

Kommentar von Thraze

Cool little quest. Anybody know the /script for the song she sings? I actually dropped the quest and redid it just to hear it once more. It really was quite captivating @_@

Kommentar von 626556

I did my best but I wasn't able to make the script play the sound.
But.. if anyone is interested I have uploaded it on Rapidshare :)

"First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them. If any one unwarily draws in too close and hears the singing of the Sirens, his wife and children will never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble him to death with the sweetness of their song. There is a great heap of dead men's bones lying all around, with the flesh still rotting off them.

Therefore pass these Sirens by, and stop your men's ears with wax that none of them may hear; but if you like you can listen yourself, for you may get the men to bind you as you stand upright on a cross piece half way up the mast, and they must lash the rope's ends to the mast itself, that you may have the pleasure of listening. If you beg and pray the men to unloose you, then they must bind you faster."

-The Odyssey, Book XII

The name of the Siren is Ophelia. Ophelia literally means "hope" in ancient Greek, and the name is a reference to the false hope of those who listen to her song. It is also the name of the protagonist's love interest in Shakespeare's Hamlet - a beautiful young woman who is driven mad, and in turn drives Hamlet himself mad with her mad song:

Queen.
How now, Ophelia?

Oph.
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle bat and' staff
And his sandal shoon.

Queen.
Alas, sweet lady, what imports this song?

Oph.
Say you? nay, pray you, mark.
He is dead and gone, lady / He is dead and gone / At his head a grass green turf / At his heels a stone.

Queen.
Nay, but Ophelia--

Oph.
Pray you, mark.
White his shroud as the mountain snow,

Queen.
Alas, look here, my lord!

Oph.
Larded all with sweet flowers / Which bewept to the grave did go / With true-love showers.

King.
How do you, pretty lady?

Oph.
Well, God dild you! They say the owl was a baker's daughter. / Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be. / God be at your table!

King.
Conceit upon her father.

Oph.
Pray you, let's have no words of this; but when they ask you what it means, say you this:
To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day / All in the morning bedtime / And I a maid at your window / To be your Valentine. ...

King.
How long hath she been thus? ...Follow her close; give her good watch, I pray you.

-Hamlet, Act IV, Scene IV (abridged)

Ophelia is also a song by "The Band".

Just thought you should know. It's a good one.

Playing a mage I am unable to protect Ephram.
Try as I might she focuses on him and takes him down just before I kill her.
Any thoughts?

Kommentar von 748360

This was a funny Quest i did . She had halv life left and i mind controled her and the quest was done . Btw i am Priest . It worked for me . Try it out . Thx .

Kommentar von 649607

Yeah I wondered why I died twice in a row doing this quest, I tried using my mirror images, all makes sense now, thanks guys :)

Kommentar von 755995

i'd like to know how classes other than mages can do this... for example, the lvl 84 Shaman

edit - so, i just put Hex on her so as i could heal him up, then i popped my Ghost Wolf to help finish killing her off... all done!

Kommentar von res1233

Neat trick for shadow priests: MC her, you get credit for the quest, and she despawns. It's a bug, but while it exists we might as well enjoy it.

Kommentar von 559400

She looks lot like Ophelia from Brutal Legend :)

Kommentar von 717646

Well.. I solo'd her as my 84 BM Hunter. On my 84 Combat Rogue, I didn't do so good. She hits like an Elite, draining my health without mercy.
Had her down to half health. She had me down to 10%. Used Vanish to save my life. She killed the quest giver and disappeared, yet I didn't fail the quest.

Quest giver respawned and had a 'quest complete' question mark on him, and somehow I completed the quest! I still don't see how since I didn't kill her.

It appears the quest is currently bugged. You might get credit for "slaying" her as soon as you're freed from the mast. As I was levelling my hunter at the time, I was able to feign death and complete the quest without hitting her once.

I went back on my "main" alt (a paladin) and the same thing happened. Of course, paladins have no such feign death mechanic, so you'll have to kill her even though you already have kill credit.

Kommentar von 181088

As a lvl 84 paladin, I took 55749 damage from her whilst doing 4900dps, so she's no pushover.

Kommentar von 630737

watch out, when she first turns she'll immediately head for Ephram
i failed the first time cause he went down so fast
just use any instant cast to get her attention the second she's able to be hit and you should be good to go

Kommentar von Goddessa39

Anyone else notice how the main guy who is speaking in the quest mentions her ruby red beautiful lips, but as a siren she is blue haired and blue lips? And then as a dangeorus giant naga, Ophelia has red lips? A fish-lover anyone?

Kommentar von Traynwreck

Rogues: So just as she went hostile I popped vanish so I could ambush her. She de-spawned and the quest completed. So yeah, that's neat ^_^
