Kommentar von kynthea

This quest has an annoying bug in which it will not complete just by capturing the riverbeast. There is a work-around to complete it though:
After you follow it around for 2 minutes and it indicates that you have captured it, an npc will come out and lead it away. Then you need to go back to where the beasts spawn and kill one to get credit for the quest. Killing the one that was captured did not work for me.

Additional notes: The beast will run clockwise around the little island, under some bridges and will kite you near some aggro frogs, eels, and moths along the way. For the most part it tends to stick to the right side, but sometimes it zips a bit more over to the left. It will generally stay somewhat near land, but it does go in to some deeper spots so it is best to do this with some form of waterwalking or use the Azure Water Strider mount. If you can, try to avoid getting too close to the aggro mobs (or once you have figured out the path, kill them ahead of time so they won't aggro you). If you are fast enough they won't disable your water walking.

Edit to add note: This post was made when I was playing Beta. I've since heard that the live servers are not having this issue. I'm leaving it up in case someone does experience this bug though.

Look for them in Talador. As the Ally quest helpfully says, they are around Duskfall Island, which is the large island with the Terokkar Refuge flight path. You'll find the Young Riverwallow beasts just to the west of the island, slightly northeast of the Tomb of Lights.

Easy enough to capture, as it will run more slowly than some of the other beasts that were tamed. You'll need a water-walking mount! And as kynthea noted above, it will try to kite you near some mobs. Either kill the mobs in advance, or go as far from the mobs as you are able while keeping the lasso intact. Good luck!

PS - I didn't have the bug kynthea noted.

Well, I went all around the island and found Young Riverwallows in a pod in the water between the island and 62.6 56.3. It helps that I am lvl 100, so didn't aggro much except at the very last, just before the tame, but completed it just fine and vanished :)

Kommentar von 1399271

For Alliance you can take a flight form Terokkar Refuge to Twilight Glade, and pick up a Shadow Lily it will give you Glowstep. 10m Water walking. Fly right back and you have water walking. Does not get removed by attacks. GL!

Kommentar von nuzzilla

This can be done without a waterwalking mount or being a Druid. Try one of these methods:

1. Be an alchemist and make a water walking potion.
2. Be, or befriend, a deathknight and use the water walking buff. (Must avoid getting hit by frogs, moths and eels...)
3. Go to Shadowmoon Valley, head to the Nightmarsh in the middle of the zone and seek out a tiny white flower called "Shadow Lily". You click on it, get a 10 minute waterwalking buff and can run/fly back to the quest site to tame your river hippo! :-)

Please note that "Shadow Lily" looks much the same as a lot of flowers in the marsh that you cannot click, so cursor around until you find one. Good Luck!

Kommentar von nagato

I was able to complete this quest without any type of water walking buff.

You just have to stay along the edge of the river and in the shallow water.

There is one point where he'll go under a bridge, and jut over bit left and then back right through some deep water and back to the shore. To handle the deep water part, make sure to gain a little headway in front of him with the leash before heading under the bridge. That way when you have to move slowly through the deep water, you have some time to swim to the shore without the leash breaking.

I also did this at 100 so the mob aggro wasn't bad. Good luck!

Kommentar von Maskerad

I made a small video guide of the path you need to take when not using any waterwalking buffs!

1. Lasso a riverbeast on the south side of the river
2. Run in front of it as it goes under the first bridge
3. Run along the coast, jumping over obstacles
4. Run under the bridge and jump on the stones to not get slowed by the water
5. Swim to the edge
6. Run after the riverbeast until it runs out on the island
7. Enjoy your new friend!

Kommentar von marah

if any tauren has issues with going below the bridge, i recommend using savory deviate delight and a small mount such as a Black wolf. the JC panthers are too big to cross under the bridge.

Kommentar von Deshala

$%^& this quest, &*!@ it to hell.

Kommentar von Madrood

water strider is a mount that walks on water, use that one if u have it and if not get exalted with the Anglers http://www.wowwiki.com/Water_Strider_mounts.
There is also a fishing raft if u have revered with the Anglers and that one stays on the water even when u take damage.

Kommentar von Kobzol

If you have the Azure Water Strider mount which can ride on water, the quest becomes very easy :-) Just watch out for the eels, if you aggro them, the mount will no longer be able to ride on water and you will probably lose the riverbeast.

Kommentar von Braham

I believe the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth can walk in slightly deeper water.. I tried putting the chopper away for it and it almost seemed too easy at that point. The Sea Turtle is a waste of time as well, just FYI.

Kommentar von mentos2424

Do not do this quest on any tall mount, such as Traveler's Tundra Mammoth, as you will not be able to go under the second bridge without dismounting and having to start over again.

Kommentar von 1408287

Go to Shadowmoon Valley - around the river banks you can find a clickable shadow lily (white flower) that allows you to walk on water for 10 minutes. I did this, then hearthed to my garrison and flew back to Terokkar Refuge and had plenty of time to lasso and chase. Easy peasy.

Kommentar von Caoranach

For hunters you can use the Wasserschreiter ability Oberflächenspannung to walk on water. Be careful, if you fall in the water some mounts won't let you jump back onto the water's surface. Not sure if that's a glitch or not.

Kommentar von MultiEitrigg

Warlocks with Ausgebrannte Glyphe Glyph can also use their class mounts to great and easy success. Just did so myself.

Kommentar von gibblett06

The Anglers water strider mount got it for me. At level 100, just steer wide of all mobs and you should be able to avoid most aggro. I got hit RIGHT as I was exiting the water but didn't get too far away from the Riverbeast.

Water Turtle does not work, so don't even try lol.

Kommentar von samwysgankye

If you have an Azurblauer Wasserschreiter, it's not too difficult. Just keep an eye out for those damn frogs.

Kommentar von Nessacity

Captain Obvious here, but as a Worgen I found Running Wild to be the most efficient 'mount' to use while taming. You essentially fit everywhere!

Confirming also that the Shadow Lily thing works wonders.

Kommentar von spikespiegel

water strider makes this quest a sinch!

Kommentar von jezenbel

I was able to beat this without any special water-walking mounts/abilities. Some key advice:

- Do a quick murder run along the side of the river. Kill anything you could potentially aggro so you don't get knocked off your mount.
- Go under the first bridge.
- Don't try to swim under the second bridge. Wait until you're right up on it and you'll be able to run under it instead.
- Wait on the small island after the second bridge while the riverwallow fakes left, then as he starts to veer back right, jump into the water and flail toward land-- keep swimming to an absolute minimum.

Good luck and try not to throw your mouse across the room. :)

Kommentar von leonardorsb

Use your Azure Water Strider mount.
Very easy :D

Kommentar von fai1

Lvl 100 tauren warrior, used a waterwalking potion & the goblin trike. This mount is super low, can fit under both bridges with no problems, and at level 100 I didn't have too much of a problem with aggro or taking damage. just make sure you play out the length on the rope to go around eels and frogs. Easy peasy, done on first try.

Kommentar von Takata

This is the stupidest quest. I guess I'm the only one having trouble with these quests...

Kommentar von OhWhyNot

What worked for me was to ride the azure water strider and to try and keep away from the anything that can attack you. For example if a frog is on the bank then you stay further in the water or if an eel is in the water then you stay close to shore. if you die kill all around you so it will not be a threat next time. Took several tried but this worked well for me and I wasn't so frustrated.

Kommentar von detzikex

For you out there that doesn't have a water-walking mount, this is what I did:

- Went to AH and bought a draenic water walking elixir for 1g
- mounted my trusty blonde riding yak
- drank the potion
- done.

you do not need to get a flower 5000000000 miles away or buy a 5000g mount.

Kommentar von Zaradrael

Elixier des Wasserwandelns

Kommentar von Pinkitteh

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!

Elixir of Water Walking works!

I had a whole 2 stacks of them in my bag...and didn't know to use them so I kept running along the coast being attacked by frogs!

ANY LEVEL of water walking elixir works.

Kommentar von Keleesi

So i put off this quest forever. Tried it once and sucked. Decided to try again after my stable wouldnt offer any more quests.

1. You HAVE to be mounted. It gave me a warning that i must be mounted
2. Have a water walking elixir
3. Clear the area of frogs and whatever else u notice will aggro u. However as Stable level 2 it didnt dismount me when i aggroed things
4. Use your TRAINED ROCKTUSK mount the one u get from ...well...training (hopefully u have already done this particular stable quest. It was the only mount that was able to go under the bridge no problem and keep me mounted
5. VIOLA! You finally achieve this stupid quest :)

Zügel des azurblauen Wasserschreiters for the win!

Kommentar von Boomcraft

After reading through many of the suggestions, I wanted the most worry free tame on this one, SO, I started at the far north end of the river past the really low bridge and cleared out a bunch of the eels and toads along the bank, then, when near the riverbeasts, hopped on my water strider mount, started the tame, and did it on the first try. I think clearing out the trash-mobs first was the key.

Kommentar von 231543

Save yourself a headache and just buy a water-walking potion. I tried to do this quest again and again over several days, and it just wasn't worth it. With the potion, it was so easy. It's just not worth the struggle.

Kommentar von 1434890

I tried a few times and failed. Then I remembered 'don't I have some water walking potion in the bank that I've had since lvl 20?' Sure enough. I had four of these: Elixier des Wasserwandelns

I'm pretty sure I got them from completing low level fishing quests. You have to watch out for any damage done to you or you will be dismounted/lose water walking. However the potion is good for 10 minutes so you can try again, just not with that particular riverbeast.

On my second try I knew the riverbeast was going to head under the two bridges so I selected a riverbeast furthest the opposite direction of the second bridge. SE I think. It eventually leads you onto land and runs through some stuff that you will aggro but by the time you get back into the water the two minutes are over. Incidentally, I killed my riverbeast at the end of the quest but so long as the NPC shows up prior to attacking it you are fine.

Just to be sure the riverbeast didn't outrun me I applied this to some old boots: Mithrilsporen It was pretty funny because now I'm way faster than the riverbeast and in some cases it looked like I was leading HIM. The best part of this quest was going back to the dustiest bags in my bank to find this stuff.

Kommentar von MaxGray

Simple task, only three attempts were used, just be near to the river bank and follow to the Riverbeast.

Spent 5 mins

Kommentar von blomsty

You can also use your waterstrider mount, just did it myself after a few tries, since I kept falling through the water.

Kommentar von PyrettaBlaze

Save yourself some sanity!

The easiest way (and IMHO, the most logical way) to do this quest, if you do not have the Zügel des purpurroten Wasserschreiters from farming reputation to Best Friend with Nat Pagle is to get the buff for Leuchtschritt. You can get this buff from any of the Schattenlilie that you find find floating in the water near the shore lines if you take the Exile's Rise, Shadowmoon Valley FP. Just head South/South-East from the FP.

I was just tinkering around in the area frustrated from not being able to do what seemed to be the impossible daily quest for this stupid water cow to be tamed, and I wondered if I could click on the lily to see if it did anything like allow for me to loot it or to initiate a random quest. When I noticed the buff icon appear, I hovered over it to see what it was and noticed it made no mention of if I took damage that the buff would piff. So, I mounted up and off I went to tame me a water cow, and viola it was easy peasy!

Kommentar von WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it

Kommentar von Klarkan

Tried for like 10-15 times, but always getting stuck somewhere...then realizing: "Hey...I got flying mount. I wonder if that works..."
- and problem solved! ^^

Kommentar von Lhoudini28

As a BM Humter, tame a water strider in Pandaria for the water walking pet ability. That made it cheap and easy.

Kommentar von 1559754

made an account just to say this is probably the @#$%tiest quest i have ever done in eight years of playing this game

Kommentar von woodsielord

I hope whoever designed this quest is fired without compensation.

Kommentar von Pixiwix

After taming my riverbeast successfully (those weeks grinding up Anglers rep for the waterstrider mount weren't a complete waste after all!), I had managed to pull exactly 708 random frogs that were all quite happy to attack me. Being a hunter, I of course popped barrage (that's what we're best at, right?) and watched - horrified - as barrage also killed the riverbeast I had finally just tamed as it was walking away with the stable master.

Still got credit for the tame but I almost had a heart attack.

Kommentar von xsnixpesx

This might seem obvious but apparently it wasn't to me so just in case. The buff from DK doesnt work unless you clear all the trash before hand but spawns are so quick that it still does not work besides the fact that your DK has to stay with you as you capture. So I found if you can fly ... FLY while you chase. That is a big IF! I know flying is a chore to get, but in this case its possible to stay flying mounted and do the job that way you dont aggro trash and your not loosing the buff or the animal. For those of you WHO cannot fly, I feel truly sorry for you because this quest is horrible the shore thing might work if you were not aggro-ing a ton of crap even at 100 its not being killed that is the concern, its the slowing you down that is the issue. Hope this helps! Sorry for those non -flyers.

Kommentar von zombiehunter

Lots of opinions on this. Yes it can be done without water walking, but its much easier.

Theres a few methods out there, I bought a potion, they are dirt cheap and and i finished in less than a min

Kommentar von Flyv

Just to state the obvious, after patch 8.2 the Aufblasbare Reittierschuhe make this easy on any small riding mount.

Kommentar von kabdu108

This quest takes patience - use your flying mount. Go over the bridge, not under it.

Kommentar von Sage95

I have had this quest for weeks and have not been able to complete it, even with all the great tips given here.... today I decided to give it another go... and guess what, you can no longer use the lasso unless you are mounted! I chose to use the "Red Flying Mount" because it is a small compact circle and doesn't take up a ton of space. After a couple of tries, I had my Riverbeast!

A few things that went wrong on my first couple of tries... I would dip down into the water and dismount; losing my Riverbeast. I also tried using my Sea Turtle, Azure Water Strider, and my Darkwater Skate, all of these mounts were too slow to keep up, or they would dismount me at certain points. Because I was on a flying mount above the water, and the Riverbeast is swimming underwater, he is slower than you will be, so it's easy to get to far away from him. But.. the good news is, it only takes a couple of tries to get the feel for it before you should have it down and finally master this beast!

Kommentar von DVMin98

The Hivemind is your friend

Kommentar von 10000unicorns

So at first this seemed like one of those awful pointlessly impossible quests, but reading through the comments I saw "waterwalking" mentioned, and I wondered if you could use a Flying Mount, and you can.

Just position yourself on your Flying Mount just above the water, and level yourself with the horizon, preferably pointing towards the bridge.
Grab any of the beasts, and simply hold your elevation just above the water. You can pretty much just inch along slightly ahead of it. Keeping the horizon level with your character ensures you are moving parallel to the water.
After the second bridge you only go through deep water one more time, you'll mostly be on land or in shallow water after that.
