Sun Darter Hatchling WoW Secret Finding Updated: 14/03/2018
General Information Welcome to the WoW Secret Finding Discord PDF about the Sun Darter Hatchling! Here's some general information: • This is another WoW secret similar to Kosumoth and the Riddler's Mind Worm. • It was solved on 16/06/17 and took approx. ~16 hours. • The pet is looted from Oddly-Colored Egg which is found at the back of a cave in Winterspring. • The cave is called “Cavern of Consumption”. • This cave contains many puzzles which can be solved by using consumable items on your character. • You do not need to be a certain class/spec, nor need certain professions. • Upon entering the cave, you will have a debuff applied which silences you, preventing most ability casts and disabling the use of toys. • Failing a puzzle will either block you from progressing or port you to the cave entrance. • Ensure to stay on the path while making your way through the cave. There are a lot of anticheat mechanisms built in and straying off the path could trigger this, porting you to the start. • Logging out inside the cave will port you back to the entrance upon logging in. • The pet is cageable and tradeable, however it is one loot per character.
Required items As each puzzle is solvable using consumable items, we highly recommend you collect these items before heading to the cave: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Location The images below show the location of the cave, both on the map and ingame. The cave resides in the north of Winterspring. Flying out into the sea and looking back will help you spot it easily!
Quick guide Following this section of the guide will obtain you the pet as fast as possible. A full guide is found later if you would like more information. 1. Enter the cave and use the 6 Major Protection Potions. Run through the fire barrier and the fel barrier. 2. Use Noggenfogger Elixirs until you obtain the skeleton transformation effect. Run past the Diligent Watcher. 3. There will be 2 barriers, make your way to the vines (not the blue barrier) and use a charge of Scotty's Lucky Coin. You can now walk through the vines. 4. There will be a pool of water in this room which contains some stones. Collect one, use it and run out the room. 5. You will now have a buff that allows you to walk through the blue barrier. 6. On the other side of the blue barrier is a stone golem. Use the Dire Brew and walk past him. 7. There will be 3 paths to choose from, make your way up the ramp and to a barrier which is transparent and slightly purple. Use Ethereal Oil to through it. 8. Inside this room, there will be a stone. Use Gordok Ogre Suit and Winterfall Firewater. Interacting with the stone will give you a buff: Mark of the Second. 9. Leave this room and head to the path which is blocked by a gate (note: The path to the egg may now be open, do not enter it yet). 10. Use Pygmy Oil until you transform into a gnome. Walk through the gate. 11. Summon Perky Pug and use "Little Princess" Costume. Interact with the cube and select
. You can now leave this room, and head towards the egg room. 12. Before you can cross the water, cancel (right-click) the Winterfall Firewater buff and use Scroll of Intellect. You can now interact with the egg and receive the pet.
Full guide 1. Elemental Gates
The first puzzle you will meet are the 2 elemental barriers: Fire and Fel. Using a Major Fire Protection Potion will allow you to walk through this barrier, as you will be protected from fire. ing through the fel barrier follows similar logic. As fel magic is chaos, and chaos contains all schools of magic, using all the Major Protection Potions (i.e. having all 6 buffs) will allow you to through the fel barrier.
2. Diligent Watcher
Past the barriers, you will find a stone gargoyle (named “Diligent Watcher”) guarding the path ahead. If you attempt to cross its path, it will port you outside of the cave. The only way it will allow you to is if you are in a skeleton form, gained from Noggenfogger Elixir. This could be because it stops you from breathing, and the watcher does not allow living things through.
3. Water & Vines
The path is now split. Down one path, a barrier similar to the elemental barriers, however, coloured blue. There is also a age blocked by a wall of vines. This puzzle is solved by firstly ing through the vine wall and collecting a Water Stone (which exist behind the vines) which allows you to through the water barrier. Using a Scotty's Lucky Coin charge will transform your character, and attune yourself to the vines, allowing you to through them. In this room you will find a pool of water with items inside: Water Stones. Collecting one and using it will grant you a 15min buff: “Wet”. This allows you to through the water barrier and continue deeper into the cave.
4. Stone Golem
The stone golem awaits you after the water barrier. To attune yourself and solve this obstacle has a quite simple solution. Using a Dire Brew will allow players to the golem safely. This could be because dwarves used to be made of stone before the curse of flesh.
5. Triple Path The path is now split into 3, with a puzzle guarding each room. Making your way down the ramp will lead you to the final room, where the pet resides. Going up the ramp will lead you to the Stone room and the Cube room. You must both visit and complete each room at the top of the ramp before you can obtain the pet. We recommend you start with the Stone Room. Picture Reference
Down the ramp, towards Egg Room. Up the ramp, towards Stone and Cube Room Stone Room Cube Room
6. Stone Room Heading up the ramp and taking a right will bring you to the Stone Room. This room is guarded by an Ethereal Barrier. Therefore, drinking Ethereal Oil will allow your character to right through, into the room.
In this room, there will be a Strange Stone with a hole in it. The goal here is to make your characters arm fit the hole by using consumables to increase your size. You can do this by using a Gordok Ogre Suit and Winterfall Firewater. This will increase your characters size enough for you to solve the puzzle. If done correctly, interacting with the stone will grant you a buff.
6. Cube Room Now head towards the Cube Room. This room will contain a singular Wisdom Cube locked behind a gate. The holes in this gate are quite large, allowing a small character model to fit right through! Drink Pygmy Oil until you transform into a gnome, and right through the gate. Interacting with the cube inside the room will present you with the following riddle: I am the Wisdom Cube. > What wisdom do you hold? I have been imparted with the knowledge of the timeless ones. > What is your purpose? I am capable of granting the sign of the first. > What do you require? My creators seek a most amusing heir.
Here is the solution to the riddle. “timeless ones” “sign of the first” “creators” “most amusing heir”
→ Blizzard Developers → The 2nd buff needed → Most likely referencing Muffinus, a Blizzard developer known for his odd attraction to Pugs. → A Pug with a princess hat on, of course!
Summon your Perky Pug and use "Little Princess" Costume. This will give it a lovely hat. Interact with the cube and you will notice a new dialog option:
Select this, and you will granted another buff. You can now leave this room, and head towards the Egg Room.
6. Egg Room This is the final room; it has no entry puzzle, rather it unlocks when you solve either the Stone Room or the Cube Room. It contains the pet across a body of water (which will port you outside of the cave upon touching it) along with a plaque on a pillar. Here is what the plaque reads:
"The greatest of achievements begins with the smallest leap of the mind" The “achievement” here is solving the cave and obtaining the pet. To solve the final puzzle, we must solve this riddle; what is “the smallest leap of the mind”? The answer is a rank 1 Scroll of Intellect. Using this scroll (you may have to right click/cancel some of your buffs. It is safe to do so at this point) will allow you to cross the water. Some have reported failing the puzzle even though they have a Scroll of Intellect buff on them. We recommend following the below route, hugging the right wall, to avoid this.
You are now safe to loot the pet! Congratulations!!
