In the Crossroads, players will inevitably pick up the quest "Lost in
Battle," in which Mankrik requests you seek out his wife somewhere to
the south. You take the quest, of course, because XP is a delicious
candy treat you must eat.
Just to note, this short guide does have a very minor spoiler, specifically about the fate of Mankrik's
wife. It's incredibly minor and has no bearing on the game overall, but
if you intend to go into World of Warcraft Classic blind and with no
experience with the game pre-Cataclysm, you may want to just skim over
the text here and look at the image below.Getting "Lost in Battle" done
is actually incredibly easy. Just run south, down the road from the
Crossroads, sticking to the road for the most part unless you want to
get into some scuffles with raptors.
Eventually, you will come to a bridge over a narrow gully. Cross the bridge and start looking for
some huts to the left. They shouldn't be far from the road, though there
will be raptors in the vicinity. Don't be surprised if a raptor decides
to try to eat your face while you're investigating the huts, as one
patrols very close by.In one of the huts you'll find a corpse that can
be interacted with, which is unsurprisingly Mankrik's wife. Click on
her, progress the quest, and head back up to the Crossroads to turn
"Lost in Battle" in to Mankrik, who is understandably bereaved by the
news.
I'm working up some WoW Classic guides bit by bit, and we wholeheartedly welcome any WoWC player to pop on here and write their
own guides! For now, I've worked up a weapon trainer locations guide as
well as a racial abilities guide. Check them out, but most importantly
have fun!
