Prisoners of War is part of an alliance quest chain in Redridge Mountains per Classic World of Warcraft.

Prisoners of War How-To

The Bravo Company field kit is ready, <name>. I’m gonna equip you with it and you’re gonna enter Render’s Valley, southeast of here, and free our P.O.W.s. I’m sending Jorgensen with you to watch your back.

Now the prisoners are being held on the northeast side of the valley in a large cage, but the key to the cage is in a cave on the south side of the valley. You’ll have to steal the key, create a distraction, and free the citizens.

Good luck, <name>! I’ll be in touch through the field kit.

Quest Objectives:

Free the Prisoners of War locked up in the prison at Render’s Valley.

Prisoners of War Guide

  • Starts: John J. Keeshan (52,55)
  • Ends: Auto-complete

You’ll need to complete Unspeakable Atrocities before acquiring this quest.

This quest can be a bit rough if you forget to do certain things, get too close to mobs, press the wrong button, die and forget to reactivate the field kit, and so on. I’ve died plenty of times on this quest from silly accidents.

Activate the Bravo Company Field Kit before anything else. You’ll know it’s activated when specific spells are on your action bars. Next, choose Camouflage on your action bar. You’ll know you’re “stealthed” when there’s a trail of leaves around you.

Go to the cave at 68,74. You’ll need to distract the guards around and then head inside and chloform the orc who’s not facing you. Take the pen key–it’s a necessity. Leave the cave–again, use a distraction–and open one of the pens at 69,59.

The quest is done.

Keep in mind, below in a small pond area there may be a rare waiting for you to kill it.
