Key Takeaways
- The Torch of Pyrreth is the Day 4 clue (step 5 of 15) in the Whodunnit? meta-achievement, and it remains fully completable after the live event.
- Speak to Tithris in the Roasted Ram Inn and run Securing an Artifact to receive the Preservationist's Dispatch, the clue that points to the Waking Shores.
- You need the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap toy from the Day 2 clue to reveal the three Ancient Levers near the Life-Binder Conservatory.
- Pulling all three levers makes the Torch of Pyrreth appear by the fireplace, starting Artifact Secured.
- Back in Valdrakken, Preservationist Kathos sends you to test the torch on a hidden chest in the Ruby Enclave, which clears the step toward Pattie's Cap and the Honorary Preservationist title.
Here is the full walkthrough, from earning the torch in the Waking Shores to testing it on the hidden chest in the Ruby Enclave.
Where the Torch of Pyrreth Fits in Secrets of Azeroth
The Torch of Pyrreth is the Day 4 clue in Secrets of Azeroth, the fifth of fifteen steps in the Whodunnit? meta-achievement. This step leans on the toy from an earlier clue, so finish the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap (Day 2) first.
This is a spoiler walkthrough. None of the clues are time-limited any longer, so you can run them in any order from Preservationist Kathos in the Roasted Ram Inn at Valdrakken. What follows are the exact steps and coordinates.
Earning the Torch of Pyrreth
Speak to Tithris in the Roasted Ram Inn and complete Securing an Artifact. It rewards the Preservationist's Dispatch, which hints at an ancient torch tucked away near the Life-Binder Conservatory in the Waking Shores.
Fly to the Waking Shores, put on your Tricked-Out Thinking Cap, and hunt down three Ancient Levers. The dispatch marks them, or you can use these waypoints directly:
| Ancient Lever | Coordinates |
|---|---|
| Lever 1 | /way #2022 57.0 25.5 |
| Lever 2 | /way #2022 57.7 25.5 |
| Lever 3 | /way #2022 56.6 20.3 |
With all three levers pulled, head back to the inn-like building nearby. The Torch of Pyrreth is now visible by the fireplace on the left (/way #2022 54.5 20.3). Loot it to begin Artifact Secured, then return to Valdrakken and turn the quest in to claim the Torch of Pyrreth toy.
Using the Torch of Pyrreth
Pick up The Torch of Pyrreth from Preservationist Kathos in Valdrakken. He explains that the torch reveals hidden objects, and he wants you to prove it by uncovering a chest in the Ruby Enclave.
Head to the Ruby Enclave and step into the building where the Ruby Feast is held (/way 58.2 23.5). Use the Torch of Pyrreth toy to make the hidden chest appear, loot it, and turn the quest back in to clear the Torch of Pyrreth step.
Rewards and What Comes Next
The Torch of Pyrreth step rewards the torch toy itself and ticks one more box on the Whodunnit? meta-achievement. Finishing all fifteen clues hands over the alpaca mount Pattie's Cap and the Honorary Preservationist title. Hold onto the torch, too: it pairs with the Thinking Cap later to crack the Curious Orb step.
If you would rather not run all fifteen clues yourself, you can order a WoW achievement boost and let a booster finish the meta for you.
