Everyone who hates to die follow these simple instruction catch boat frome Menethil Harbour to Auberdine and swim from Auberdine to Ethel Rethor make sure you stick close to shore line when swimming in Veiled Sea otherwise you get fatigued and could drown. Otherwise easy peasy as a level 40 hunter with combat pet bear Bighty only beasts/humanoids i came across whilst swimming were level 20 or thereabouts and hardly bothered me only had to kill maybe 3 or 4. Once you're ashore in Ethel Rethor follow paths and there you are in Desolace couldn't of been easier. Make sure you have plenty of food pet can eat and keep an eye on his happiness icon as soon as you notice he's at 100% take a break from swimming asap and feed him one piece of food should do it providing you haven't been neglecting him or her.Make sure to click on your position on mini-map then click on world map to make sur you're on course (south) sometimes helps to zoom out if you can't see you're white arrow. Plus when you get to the Caravan Place where there's the vendor robot head north and you're right on the pathe to Nijel's Point.
