This is pretty easy once you figure it out, but make sure to use the AE knockback before you try and pick up the storm cloud to heal yourself, more likely to pick up the cloud then pick up an undead.

Commento di 38799

He is NOT on the road while you are doing the quest. Atleast he wan't for me. He was roaming around.

Commento di 144071

Best quest ever.

Riding a storm giant and crushing hordes of undead = AWESOME.

Commento di 20402

Thrym is much easier to kill if someone is doing the same quest, you can tag-team Thrym :D

Commento di 90652

the only way I could dismount after completing this quest was to let him die.
I am not sure whether this is a bug, or I was just being stupid.

Commento di 23233

This has to be hand's down the most fun I've had doing a quest, Kudo's Bliz on this one ;)

Commento di Fatherfury

Absolutely awesome quest.

Basically these are the moves you get while riding the giant.

1. A stomp that hurts the people around you, have to target something nearby
2. A cone push back ability, any mobs in front of you will get knocked backwards including other giants.
3. Pick up stuff, either the elites you can throw at other things for damage or you can pick up storm clouds which randomly spawn and float about to heal yourself.
4. Throw whatever you picked up

Movement is the same and you can jump around as well. To dismount you just click the leave vehicle button like many other things in Northrend

After finishing it you can stay around to fight any giants on the opposing faction making for some fun giant on giant action.

Enjoy

Commento di 158669

Took 10 minutes to figure out what the storm clouds look like.

Bug in the game where you pick up a storm cloud and the giant wants to throw it instead of use it.

Hard to target what to pick up. Even harder to get him to throw the enemies right. Half the time he just drops them on himself.

The Prince does a shadow cast that takes 50% of the giant's life real easy. He also resets real easy if you run to get a storm cloud so guess what you have to fight him all over again.

After the 3rd or 4th time of beating the Prince after resets you will fight the big guy and once again he easily Evades and resets.

After 4 Prince evade and resets and 3 Thrym evade and resets I deleted this quest from my queue and then discovered I was still in combat, couldn't leave combat, couldn't logout and couldn't even quit the game. I had to kill the game from the desktop. Totally not worth 30-45 minutes of trying to level in a bugged out quest.

I REALLY want to like this quest because it's so cool, but once again Blizzard bugs it up as usual.

Commento di BigLebowski

Algar the Chosen can be killed at anytime; however you must kill Prince Navarius in order to activate Thrym who stands (inactive) on a wall above Prince Navarius (32,64). Once the Prince is dead, Thrym jumps down and becomes killable.

Commento di 249672

Great quest. Also, I had some fun fighting other players on the backs of their giants during the quest so if you time it right you can get some hot giant on giant action in. It's hilarious to do the knockbacks vs. other giants and race around trying to be the first to storm clouds. I definitely had a lot of fun both doing the quest and fooling around afterward before turning it in. =D

Commento di 249694

So unfair... Just so unfair... Why do I have to be chosen and a skelly dragon that gets killed for money and phat lewt?

Commento di parl2001

Meh. Can't leave the zone.

Commento di 87286

I personally had a problem grabbing storm clouds, i tried the above mentioned tactics and he never would pick one up

knockback/target cloud..grab..he always picke dup something else

maybe was just me, but that was my issue and i had to drop and pick up again cause i couldn't heal up and never got the objectives finished :(

Commento di 123325

So, I let my giant die, and I no longer have the 'key' in my baggy to let him out again and redo this quest. Anyone know how to fix it? I tried going back to the questgiver who gave me the explosives, and no luck. Thanks!

Commento di 198479

Without a doubt the buggiest quest I've come across yet.

I killed the 100 scourge and the first 2 quest mobs and then killed Navarius 4 times and never got credit. I abandoned the quest and tried again and got the same result.

My assumption is that because everyone attempting the quest is instanced in the same version, they tag "your" mob and you get no credit.

I would wait to do this quest until there is absolutely NO ONE else around doing it at the same time.

Commento di Ringthane

This is such a cool quest. First of all, there's fifty people all trying to get the same guy. Second, Thrym never spawns for me. And third, Gymer loves those storm clouds so much, he'll run around with them all day. Until he actually needs one. Then he'll throw it away.

Pass. I've got far better things to do.

Commento di Nerizor

Do note that if you're in a party at the time, your portrait will be that off a Pink Horse when riding Gymer.

Commento di 252409

Surely a fun quest after a patch or 2. As it is now, I found this very irritating. Stupid giant refuses to use the clouds for healing, instead he inists on just picking them up.

Commento di 36078

If you have trouble getting Thrym to show (I did for almost an hour), he only shows *after* you kill the Prince. If you fail and go back, just kill the Prince again. You will also have to re-kill the Prince if you run away to heal and lose agro as this causes Thrym to despawn. Make sure there is a healing Storm Cloud nearby that will be unused. One spawns behind the Prince himself, but that seems to get lost while fighting him. There is another in the little ruined square thing next to him that heals. A third is in front of the ramp that is too small for the giant to get up. Thrym spawns instantly after the Prince dies so be ready if you are low from a mob of Scourge.

Commento di Radant

buggy, it actually got me stuck in combat permanently after I finished this quest. I had to alt-f4 just to disengage from combat

Commento di 248575

If you're on his abck head Northeast to the Reliquary of Pain and start attacking Algar. Spam skills 1 and 2. Then sometimes hit 3, when you have a Vargul in your hand hit 4 to kill a lot of scourge. Wgen you kill Algar, find a storm cloud (click on it and use 3 to pick it up). Then head south to Prince N. Do the same. When he's dead find a storm cloud again then head back where you killed him. Thrym will spawn. Immidiately attack him and spawn you abilities. DO NOT leave melee range or he will kill you easily. Good luck!

Commento di 164624

It does seem pretty buggy, earlier when I was trying to fight the prince, my giant got stuck in some kind of cower animation, I couldn't use the dismount button so I had to wait there until he died and go again.

As an aside: no one has mentioned it but the alert on the screen about needing a storm cloud badly or needing one and being about to die is a nod towards the old game Gauntlet, where a voice would call out "<Class> needs food, badly" and "<Class> is about to die!" when you were low on health.

Commento di anteract

Prince Navarius is a little bitty glowing ball, and easy to miss. He is actually a regular sized character, but you aren't. I found him all bundled up in a Paladin type bubble, so look for that.

Commento di yodadoe

As everyone else, I had trouble with this one. But after about 30 minutes, I managed to get it done. There are only a few storm clouds down where you fight Prince, and then Thrym. One spawns in the corner by the prince, another spawns on a small hill to the west-northwest a bit. Whenever I went further away than that, Thrym would reset. I suggest making sure that the one in the corner is there when you tap Prince, so that you can grab it right after you defeat him and before Thrym comes after you. Then make your way to that other one while fighting Thrym. Once I figured this out, everything worked perfectly and I downed Thrym with 50% health left. (Obviously, neither of these clouds was bugged on my realm, though many of them up by the Algar were).

Also, be sure to tour Zul'drak while on the giant. I cleared out the whole map in about 5 minutes, even if it was irritating to have to jump over tiny obstacles. One other fun item: be sure to take a swim in the lake to the south! The animation doesn't scale up to size very well, resulting in a normal swim speed (which is a CRAWL for a giant) and the giant actually swims about 10 feet above the surface of the water, when you're at the surface... funny bugs make up for the annoying bugged clouds earlier!

Commento di Adeon

Fun quest... until it becomes infuriating. I nearly pulled a Bill O'Reilly on it. Good luck tagging the bloody bosses if any other players are around. And you can't see their names to invite them, so essentially everyone kills each boss one at a time, while everyone else waits for it to respawn, and by then a new questgoer has shown up to try to steal the tag. I gave up on this bullcrap, but may try it again sometime between 3-7am server time.

Update: I did go back and do it this morning. The quest is easy as I expected, when you're not fighting other players for tags. It's not even necessary to pick up storm clouds when fighting any of the bosses, so long as you are already full or near full health when you engage. Just mash your 1 key, and if you've attracted a great deal of little mobs, turn around once in a while and press 2. Again, I strongly advise you to do this quest during offpeak hours, otherwise you'll most likely be throwing away a large amount of time that could be better spent elsewhere.

Commento di sTyLnK

I had trouble with Algar as I would attack him, but no damage was being taken off. Eventually I had to find a cloud and heal and keep at it. Eventually after a few minutes his health started to get knocked off and then it was pretty simple. For some this quest was a breeze, for others there were bugs. You do get a blue reward though so keep it up. =]

Commento di 258554

Make sure you use auto-attack (usually right mouse click on the target, hits for 8-9k) in addition to his special abilities and the quest becomes a lot easier. I killed first 2 guys only using special abilities, dont make that mistake too. To heal yourself just grab a cloud (target cloud and press 3) and hold it, dont throw it, it will heal you for a good amount over some time.

Commento di ZaftAlthaus

A few things.

First off, this bugs like hell, so be ready for it. If you pick up a Storm Cloud and it does not heal you, drop it and move on -- it's bugged. While traveling, use your AOE knockback every time it's up to minimize the damage you take.

Bosses:

Algar the Chosen: Tank and spank, very easy.

*

Thrym: Once again, tank and spank.

*

Prince Navarius: Slightly harder. When he uses soul deflection, STOP ALL DPS. If you keep going all out on him, you'll kill yourself, which is not a good thing.

During boss fights, beat the crap out of him, and then when the scourge gather close enough, use your AoE knockback. Throwing things is fun, but this quest is buggy enough, and I wouldn't risk leashing/glitching anything by doing that.

Commento di 108600

I`m having a hard time tagging this mob, can anyone tell me how you get it ? every time I try to take him, he`s grey, and i never get the kill... wtf?

Commento di ceros

For those of us (like me) with older computers, this quest can be pretty tough on them - the video starts getting really jerky. Reducing my video quality settings in the user interface before mounting up helped a lot.

Commento di 133570

Most frustration I've ever had doing a quest. I am certain the only people saying 'I loved it', love the concept only and want desperately to love it for the creativity because the execution is a joke. don't waste your time with this right now. wait for a few patch cycles.

Commento di Conal

How can anyone possibly enjoy this quest? Sure, it looks like fun in theory but zooming in as far as possible to get a better look at what I was doing was pointless: Instead of zooming into where I was (on TOP of the giant) I was zoomed in as if I was at the giant's feet. What the...?

Zooming all the way out (i.e. a birdseye view) was even worse because all I could see was the top of the giant...everything attacking me was nowhere in my line of sight. I could hear them but was unable to see what I was fighting.

Not being able to see what you're doing made this one of the quickest abandoned quests ever.

Commento di 248492

I had no problem killing Navarius and Thrym, and the storm clouds worked for me more often than not. But I've killed Algar 5 times now without getting credit, and yes, each time I had tagged him. I reported it, and Blizzard said "Abandon the quest and pick it up again from the quest-giver." So I did. Which of course reset the whole quest. This time I started out with killing Algar, and for whatever reason it's still not recognized. So yeah, I'd say don't even try this until after a few patches. The concept is really neat. The execution is abysmal.

Commento di neilperry

i got bugged and was stunned untill my giant died
so lame

Commento di Donut

Definetly best spot to farm the Scourge is at 24.58.

Commento di Tabris

For those who don't get the reference when it says "Grymer needs a Storm Cloud Badly" it is a reference to the old game Gauntlet in which if someone, say the green wizard, is low on health the game would say "Green Wizard needs food badly"

Commento di aberdonian

This was hard to accomplish but I managed it after more than a few false starts, trick I found that worked for me, was to look where the named mob was, run there fast grab a cloud and kinda hope u got your 100 scourge in the process of that, no tips, just sheer luck, and dogged perserverance.

Commento di 155600

This quest is *buggy* as hell!

90% of the time, the storm clouds don't work, just behave like a mob the giant grabbed.

Camera management is also a right pain in the a**.

Nice quest rewards, but don't waste your time until Blizz gets the bugs worked out ... if ever

Commento di 267212

Stupid quest, indeed. As said above, other giants can attack you and knock you back. Take care while fighting Thrym, since some bad manner players may try to knock you away of the aggro range, and steal Thrym. (It happens cause they're pretty stupid and don't know how to summon Thrym, btw)

Commento di 219437

A comic about this quest

Commento di 35921

Gymer + PvP = win.

Having read the above I'm sure someone would flame me. What happened was I met an alliance (I'm horde) player and helped him do the dragon. Afterwards we had a few 'duels' on the road. Great fun.

Commento di 270070

Just did this quest tonight, and I loved it. Didn't have any problems killing any of the guys. Didn't have any problem picking up storm clouds. It was just tons of fun. The best advice is to make sure that you are auto attacking. I had to flee from my first battle because I was barely doing any damage to him with my special attacks alone. When I realized that I needed to auto attack, he went down fast.

Commento di 156249

Terrible quest. I was unable to survive long enough to kill the last boss. The health clouds are a complete joke and the fact that you have to kill the last 2 bosses each time is ridiculous. That doesn't include the ally doing the same quest ganking the whole time. I was unable to finish so I gave up.

Commento di Voratus

I finished it today with little trouble. I did have to kill Algar twice, as the first time I encountered him low on health (didn't see any other giants around, so assuming someone failed and died just before I got there) and when I killed him that time, it didn't count, so I ran around and waited for him to respawn. Killed that time and got the credit.

Commento di Gemily

A few helpful hints about this quest.

First and foremost, yes it is going to be hard to see. The easiest way (and it's not going to be great) is to zoom OUT as much as possible. You'll see a lot of giant and little else, but that's the best it gets.

Second, part of this quest is to kill 100 scourge. Do NOT go looking for scourge to complete this part, trust me, they will find you. Find Algar and the Prince first, and kill them, you will kill plenty of scourge along the way, and during the fights, and after the fights...

Third! This one is really important! <Gymer need Stormcloud!> This frustrated the hell out of me during this quest, because I could find the stormcloud, i clicked it, I right-clicked it, I clicked it multiple times, I stood in it, around it...nothing would heal me. If you'll look down at your new action bar you have 4 abilities, an earthquake looking button that does AoE damage, a redish button that does an AoE knockback +damage, a bloody hand that picks up Vargyl and picks up stormclouds to heal yourself and then another hand that throws a Vargyl if that's what you're holding.
So Click the stormcloud, then click the bloody hand. It will heal almost your full health (depending on what level you're at when you click it of course)

Fourth, as best as possible, run along roads. Your aggro radius is ridiculous, as a hunter I could see the armies of undead running towards me and it isn't pretty.Every now and then, stop and kill them all. Otherwise they will keep following you, right up to the bosses and then you're fighting 300 undead plus the boss. There is a way to kind of reset them and leave combat! There is a ramp at that leads up to the argent strand, run up there, and around the corner to the left. Go a few paces and stop, very few undead will follow you up there! You can kill them. And then, look down and you can see the Prince! Jump down (no fall damage!) and you won't catch any extra adds :D

The Prince Nevarius fight. PAY ATTENTION, he does a soul reflection spell, it shows up in yellow across your screen, it shows up as a debuff, AND it shows up as a channeled spell under his name plate! STOP DPS during this spell! You AREN'T HURTING HIM! You will be reflecting all that damage onto yourself!

After you kill him, quickly look for a stormcloud, but don't go far! Thyrm will appear then and if you run away you'll have to kill the Prince again to spawn Thyrm.

Lastly, for some reason, he doesn't auto attack after you do a damaging spell. You have to hit your "T" button, or right click your target. This will add so much more damage, and make the fights so much easier!

Commento di nokfed

This quest was fun, but kinda hard to find the people you need to kill.
Algar the Chosen is at: 31, 49. He is flying around.
Prince Navarius: if you run up the stairs at 32, 66 you can wait their until the adds die off or you kill them. You will see him standing in a huge purple bubble around 32, 63. Just jump down and start wailing on him. I took him out without a fight. As soon as you kill him Thrym will appear. Be sure to fight him and as soon as it says you need a storm cloud run and get one. I was luck enough and found one at 31, 64 just west of where I was. Not far at all.

Commento di kristina

Here is a useful macro to help with the visual problems, it increases the maximum view to 50 units, from the default of 25. You need to scroll all the way out for it to work, but it is better than being stuck with the camera between the giant's legs.
/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 50)

Had trouble with the quest myself, the comments about how to pick up the storm clouds where a great help. Killed algar without too much trouble. Navarius is tough to kill with melee, but picking up undead and tossing them down, works just great. Went to far away to find healing and Thrym despawned the first time. Second time after killing Navarius someone else tagged and killed Thrym, which didn't please me. Third time got it all working right, killed Navarius, grabbed the storm cloud behind him to heal, then just let loose on Thrym.

Commento di abegaza

Begin the quest talking with Gymer(at 20,57) then u have 4 abilities 1.gymer's smash; 2. Gymer's roar; 3. Gymer's grab (importante to get an storm cloud and healing yourself) and 4. gymer's throw. Use them and will finish very easy.

Commento di 70576

Apparently only positive comments on this quest are welcome here since everyone who's posted to explain how buggy and frustrating it is has been downranked. Okay fanboys go ahead and downrank this one too then.

Great idea for a quest - I expected it to be fun when I started it. I'm not impatient or thick in the head, I read the quest log, read everything the giant said, read the tooltips for all the abilities, then tested them a bit, then started... and found out after 5 minutes or so that it's simply an awful quest. You'd expect this to be a fast and furious rampage through hordes of undead but the giant just doesn't do much damage, at least not enough to kill 100 scourge reasonably fast.

Abandoning this quest right now and not looking back.

Commento di 277555

i spent approx 10-15 mins running around squishing scourge and found ONE storm cloud in that time. without the storm clouds being available, taking on the 3 main targets is impossible.

of course, the camera angle is appalling, but i guess you would have a pretty bad view if you sat on top of a giant...

blizz need to go back and have a look at this one.. the least they could do is improve the spawn rate of the clouds. i ended up just dropping the quest and moving on. i play wow for the fun and this quest simply isn't any fun, it's just frustrating.

Commento di Cromulon

Well I tried to get him to grab a storm cloud. He just stood there in a dazed looking stance and I couldn't move or leave him. Honestly I wish they would fix these quests.

No big deal though, just have to go again.

EDIT: I think this happened because someone else was doing the quest.

Commento di 12719

Can someone describe a storm cloud? I've tried this three times so far and I haven't seen a single one (at least that I recognized as one). Does it spawn near the ground? at the giant's eye level? in the air above his head?

Is the a way to use /tar to locate them? ie, is there a name that can be used, like

/tar Storm Cloud

This is one frustrating quest.

Commento di 237374

If the giant dies, just go talk to him again.

Commento di 278845

as a tank this quest has useless rewards better off abandoning it and not doing it, rather than putting up with all the trouble of no visual and bugs.

Commento di 146819

A fun quest, in my opinion (still, Blizzard's gotta work pretty damn hard to top the Frost Wyrm attack in the Death Knight starting region, and the Fel Reaver rampage in Shadowmoon Valley), but it does have its problems:
1) The Storm Clouds are annoying, mostly because Gymer doesn't bother to explain anything about them (and then proceeds to, with very poor grammar, shout that he "needs one badly" every 5 seconds when his health gets down below 50%). You have to work the details (pick them up, and attack while holding one to get the heal buff) out by yourself, by which point it's probably easier to just jump off and get back on him.
2) The SWARMS of Scourge get irritating REAL fast. Yes, you have to kill 100, but that's no excuse to throw 100 *THOUSAND* at us.
3) The camera. If you're going to make a quest where you have to ride something that damn big, then give us a *!@#ing camera that can zoom out that far! Even with the camera as far back as possible, Gymer easily takes up AT LEAST 2/3 of the screen.

It was a good quest idea, but Blizzard should've taken a little more time to implement it so that you don't rip your hair out from frustration.

Commento di Ceriuswoode

I don't know if you're supposed to be able to do this, but I'm riding Gymer around the Alter of Quetz'lun killing lvl 77 mobs with a couple of hits each. The area is way, way east (around 70, 56ish) and I'm getting lots of easy XP.

Commento di ehanu

I just managed to kill Navarius and Thyrm on the fifth attempt and it was SO frustrating. I'm not sure why what I did worked, but if it helps someone else reading this then it's worth it. Basically I headed straight to Navarius (I killed the first two with no problems on the first attempt) and grabbed a Storm Cloud on the way, picking up the first one I saw, as it still left three of them near the fight. Once I'd engaged Navarius, I spammed everything I had. On the other attempts I ignored the picking up enemies and throwing them abilities (3 and 4) and severly underated them. In my final attempt I used those a lot more and Navarius must've died in about 6 or 7 seconds, it was scarily easy. Thyrm will spawn behind you but you can't attack him right away, I used this time to grab the Storm Cloud that was right where Navarius died and I did the same thing with Thyrm, primarily attacked with the first ability, used the second one whenever I could and inbetween I would use 3 and 4. I had to grab the other Storm Cloud that's nearby (it's in the little square ruined area) and went back to work on Thyrm and eventually it paid off.

Just to clear up a few things: it seems that the Storm Cloud are heals over time, you just target them and then pick them up with ability 3. Not sure what throwing them would do, I didn't use the 4th ability while I was getting healed (you can see a light on Gymer while he's healing. Also, it does take a few seconds before you see the effects of the heals so be patient because those few seconds will seem like forever.

Commento di Viserate

Tried it three times and all three times it was bugged. No matter what I did, Algar wouldn't die. Stuck at 1% for a long time and finally killed him. Only to discover I got no credit for the kill. So, I died and went back to get Gymer and try again. I couldn't get Algar from 100% and died again. This quest might work for some, but after 30 minutes, I said bah. I don't need it that bad.
It seemed like it could be fun though, but too buggy for me.

Commento di 294826

yo, can anyone tell me like how to kill algar?
everytime i go over there and he falls to the ground and i attack i dont even take down damage... i've done everything else just need to know how to kill algar

Commento di 106982

Worst quest ever... seems like 50% of these type of quests are glitched to hell... storm clouds sit in your hand, doesnt heal you. lame....

Commento di 13419

Buggy as hell, i couldn't see any mobs or my group i abandoned this quest.

Commento di 146994

Something from the prince hits hard... very hard. 75600 to be exact. It is a high nuisance so be careful. Even with a storm cloud it can kill you very easily. Some tips would be nice for me, as well as anyone else who's getting annoyed at it.

Commento di 186100

i failed the quest and had to restart it, now i cant do it again yay

Commento di dbodinem

Camera view really messed me up. And why I can't jump over fences that are relatively a few feet high is beyond me.

The first two went down easy and when I finally managed to be at full health for Thyrm, got him after a couple of tries.

Was so frustrated by this quest may just skip it on toon 2 and 3.

Commento di 64664

If you target a cloud then it doesnt mean he will actually pick it up when hitting that skill.

I found it easier to get those bosses down while pulling/holding an elite mob in my hand and throwing it whenever the cooldown was over. This does massive damage to those bosses.

I've also seen that you can get 'knocked' off the giant while you're still at 50%. Don't know what's that about...

Commento di 68490

I had a horrible time trying to finish this quest, most because some of the storm clouds wouldn't heal me.

I finally figured out something that may help others. The storm cloud directly behind Prince Navarius wouldn't heal me at all. It acted like it was another scourge that I had grabbed. I realized that when you grab a storm cloud, if you can still see its name above it while it's in your hand, then it's not doing any healing.

I had to kill the Prince so many times so that Thrym would spawn just because I kept trying to get that one cloud to work. I finally had to just run for it and find a cloud that would work and then run back to Thrym before he despawned.

Hopefully this helps some of you.

I ended up killing both Algar the Chosen and Prince Navarius 4-5 times before I got credit. to get credit for the kill you MUST walk up to him and use melee attacks. you can't just use the throw ability and kite him around.

Commento di gostop

i found that instead of zooming all the way out (which is still hard to see), zooming all the way in is much easier to see. FPS isnt the view i prefer in wow, but it gets the job done in this quest.

On top of the camera view disaster, My server seemed to have bugged and no one can seem to find prince and algar. I just ended up dropping the quest in frustration.

I suggest avoiding this quest unless you REALLY want that rare gear. otherwise its not worth the effort.

Horrible quest I have a brand new pc with solid green connection ran around with wow quest helper for 2 hours never saw 1 person finnaly abandoned the quest it did not work for me.

Commento di 279464

What do you do if you get on him, and you cant see anything? I went to all the places you were supposed to go, but there were no mobs anywhere. And the giant never lost health, so it wasn't that I couldn't see them.

Commento di 75419

I had a horrible time with this, in the end I wasted way too much time on it, it's bugged, and apparently I need to wait for a server reset - I submitted a ticket to a GM, they are aware of the problem, but it needs this reset to fix it, apparently.

edit - duane, Ultra, Diriom this happend to me late last night/early this morning, looks like we all had the same thing.
Can't see ANY mobs, target anything - no scourge, no bosses, no storm clouds, no nothing.

edit x2 - I went into a LOT more detail originally, but sure enough the rolling restarts this morning (!) has this quest working now.
I'm still not a fan, as it's very buggy to get the storm clouds, you often have to kill bosses repeatedly, and I had to do 3 passes to get Thrym.
- When you kill the duo by the stair, when you hear the boss shout for him/Thrym shout, go get that guy who's even bigger than yourself!

I pretty much wrote this quest off when I was told it was dependent on a server reset, but maybe its widespread enough that this kick happened.
Well for whatever reason, it was enough to get me to try on my lunch hour, and now I have the plate tanking chest :)

Commento di 297745

I keep wiping at Prince, mainly because I can't stop autoattacking him in time when he does his reflection spell. I was low and I spotted a Storm Cloud near, picked it up, but I didn't get healed.. That's another reason why I wipe there. I downed him once but I was too low to fight Thyrm, and Clouds didn't heal me.

Commento di 305300

This quest is both incredibly awesome and incredibly lame at the same time. Riding a huge storm giant: awesome. Not being able to see anything and dealing with the bugs? A pain in the ass.

For me, storm clouds only seemed to work 75% of the time and I don't mind having to kill Navarius to get Thrym, but Thrym only sticks around for a short time before he despawns, which then in my experience, killing Navarius again doesn't work because he doesn't take any damage.

And I've tried killing Algar twice now and I can't do a single point of damage to him either.

Commento di wowhead100

Two things about this quest, the bloody hand picks up storm clouds when they are targeted....finally got that out the comments here...and I really dislike the way Thrym gets caught on ground items when moving around....

Commento di Conal

This is a quest that needs to be re-tooled from start to finish. Three times (once in beta and then twice on alts after live release) I've attempted it and every time I found it way too aggravating because I'm unable to see what I'm doing or what I'm attacking (even with the zoom as far out as it goes). I may as well have been blindfolded on this quest.

Result? I've abandoned this quest three times now...it's a shame because it looks like it could be a lot of fun. However, it's not...it's a waste of time.

turn on name labels when you do this so u can target a mob right through the giant then just stand on the path be4 the chosen guy and all the scourge will come to you

Oh, and a little additional Comment on this BUGGED LIKE HELL Quest:

If you disconnect, or crash to desktop while riding this nice little guy, he will move about 25% of his original speed AND the flying banshees will target YOU instead of him for the time of the quest...impossible to survive more than 30 seconds fpr any class except a blood DK with 3/3 vendetta...bossfights also impossible.

So if you are unlucky enough to dc ... find safespot, leave him, an retry.

Commento di Azaram

Something I didn't see mentioned anywhere; Once you've completed the quest, dismount. The armies of undead never stop coming while you're mounted. Just run away from them to a reasonably safe spot and jump off, they all despawn.

Commento di dadadumdums

That quest is easy when you udnerstand how and what to do.
1) When fighting bossess dont forget to use AUTO ATTACK - right mouse(mouse2) usually then all bosses will die very fast and you will not waste time and will not have any problems.
And how to heal:
Find a cloud, target it and press 3 ;) easy and fun when you understand how to do

Commento di 104949

Don't worry about killing 100 Scourge you are guaranteed to finish the quest after you defeat the 3 bosses.

Algar the Chosen is located all the way north to Voltarus (27.6,46.8)

You will find Prince Narvarius after you follow the dotted line leading out of Voltarus. He located right above the stair on your map.

After defeating Navarius he will call for help and Thrym will show to avenge him.

***Spell Summary***(Names are made up however spell order is exact.)

1. Stomp - Stomps on all enemies around you, your only usefull DPS spell. Spam it!

2. AOE Fear - Fears all enemies around you, you probably won't need this because it costs so much energy, however use it when your about to die.

3. Grab - Grabs a nearby unit, i recommend only using this on Storm Clouds to heal yourself. What are Storm Clouds you ask? Well, look for the green glyphs, that where they spawn. Their friendly so their easy to spot.

4. Throw - Throws a enemy unit in your hand. You always wanna keep your hands free to grab Storm Clouds so use this after grab. You won't need to throw Storm Clouds!

Commento di 259529

I'm not sure if this has been covered, however, you HAVE to kill them in the order that the quest gives you: Navarius, Algar, and then Thrym. I ended up killing Algar first, but Thrym didnt spawn for another person had just finished killing Thrym. I went to Navarius and killed him. When I came back for Thrym, he wont spawn. I attempted to kill Algar again, but keep getting denied but Ill keep trying. If you are fighting one of them and need health, you can run and grab a storm cloud. Navarius will follow you but at an extremely slow pace, giving you enough time to health up. Algar is the hardest I think, but then again, I havent killed Thrym yet. Also, they do not regenerate health unless you die. If you run to pick up a storm cloud, they will stay the same health, at least they did for me.

Please note, that every twig, branch, rock, blocks your path and you have to either go around or hurdle over it. Also, the camera angle approach is extremely awful. If you get hindered, it will immediately go to the feet of Gymer until you are clear. I personally do not think the rewards for this quest are honestly worth it. Ill keep trying (because I'm dumb like that)

Good luck to all.

Be careful of the trees--if you're not careful you can get stuck amid the branches and not be able to get out in any direction. Just had this happen to me, very frustrating. Blizzard needs to do some extra work on the collision in this area of the game.

(Still totally worth it just to see the giant say "Taste Gymer's size 600!")

Commento di burnsides

While on the quest "The Storm King's Vengeance" you will be zoned out of Zul'Drak just like when you are doing the starting Death knight quests. Don't make the same mistake as me. When I completed the quest I jumped off the storm king while standing in the road where the other Thrym Pats and just as luck would have it he was standing there and killed me. So jump off some place where you aren't going to die.

Commento di 323296

yeah, this quest is buggy as all hell. i wouldn't necessarily say 90% of clouds are bugged, but a good 60-75% are. i have attempted this 4 times now.... getting CRAZY frustrated. I have tried a couple of the sugesstions for the storm cloud absorption, but they are not working. Some peeps just got lucky as crap it would appear... lol

Had to Hearthstone after this quest. I waited 15 minutes and I was STILL in combat. Incredibly annoying as I couldn't find any other way in order to continue with my next quest which was to use Ensorcelled Choker. That particular quest item, surprise surprise, doesn't work during combat. >.<

The storm clouds don't always give you health but i found when i was in combat it did, so I'm not really sure how that works.
It was annoying though as i kept dying.

Start quest at 19,56
Algar The Chosen: Around 29,44 (Flying on a skeletal dragon)
Prince Navarius: 32, 63 (In a purple bubble)
Then Thrym should appear right in the same area so don't go too far after killing him (Pretty much comes straight for you once Prince is killed).

Thymr u need to kill the prince so he can spawn :D

Commento di 318722

Auto attack did not work for me, right clicking and using T gave me the msg "You can't do that right now" So my experience went something like this... Kill the Prince, get 1/4 of Thrym's health down, run away to find a storm cloud (which mostly didnt work) get healed, run back to find Prince respawned and no Thrym in sight. This quest will now sit in my log for the next 3 days until my annoyance with it recedes to the point where i can even think about trying it again.

Commento di 180957

Fight thrym on the stairs. After you kill prince grab one of the two storm clouds near by then run up to the stairs like you're trying to escape battle. But about 1/2 way up turn and fight him. You won't be able to use your throw (attacks 3 and 4) but if you grabbed the cloud just prior to fighting him you shouldn't need to. Don't hang out on the stairs like I just did while typing this cuz sadly my giant died. So now I gotta go pick him up again and finish the quest.

Commento di 307650

This may seem stupid to some of u more experienced players, but what do the dang storm clouds look like? I have attempted this quest twice and cannot cause much damage to the Prince, and have no idea what the cloud looks like to grab it. I see green mist but thats it and can't do anything with that at all. Help is appreciated.

NVM...i just saw the little blue glowy storm cloud but was unable to use it or pick it up :(

Commento di Rokness

i cant find gymer where is he?

Commento di aussiebeerfan

Has anyone experienced being permanently stunned while trying to complete this quest?

The reason I ask is because I and others were constantly stunned while using Gymer, it appears as if an Alliance Warrior was somehow able to bug my vehicle out. He camped the start location and stunned anyone that appeared for several hours, once stunned you cannot leave vehicle or move, the only way is to log off or wait till Gymer dies. Many people in the zone were complaining for several hours until a GM intervened.

The other player was taunting us and using emotes every time he did it, so it was some sort of exploit he was using.

Commento di Jaspirac

Buggy- first time there were no storm clouds.
Second time couldn't damage Algar.
Third time... same Algar was at different location and was unattackable.

Also- Gymer seems to get hung up on low lying objects quite a bit for a giant.

Commento di Grizela

I found this one quite challenging...tried it about 8 times before I succeeded. Gemily's advice above was extremely helpful but let me add these observations:

1. Storm clouds. If you see one sparkling in your hand, it is a weapon and not a healer. Throw it at a mob.

2. Storm clouds again. Before you pick one up. Hit "throw" just in case something is in your hand. Also hit the knockback to avoid accidently picking up a Vrykul. There is a timer and you don't want to lose valuable time. For the same reason, don't wait until your health gets too low.

3. Getting to the Prince. Not necessary, but helpful: After killing Algar, unmount and ride/fly back to the questgiver to get a remount. This gets rid of the tons of undead still on your back and also positions you better to get to the prince. Once your remount, quickly go to the road that Thym travels. Watching out for him, run towards where the Prince is but, staying on that road, run up the stairs and turn left. You can jump down from there.

4. There is a glowing glyph on the ground near the Prince. (I cant recall the color...green or purple) Stand on it when you fight both the Prince and Thym. For some reason, my health stayed up and they went down faster. (I forgot to look for a buff..there may well have been one.)

5. If you run too far looking for a stormcloud while fighting Thym, the whole thing resets to having to kill the Prince. So....identify nearby stormclouds first.

Good luck...and don't get too frustrated. Its quite a challange cause Blizz did not make this one easy....

Cheers,

Commento di 2804

One thing to mention - despite being massively tall, Gymer can't seem to bring his "size 600s" to step over the smallest of landscape obstacles. Unfortunately, his massive size will keep you from passing through spaces occluded by tree branches or the like, so you can very easily get yourself caught on any number of terrain spots while riding the big guy.

Very frustrating when you've got several hundred scourge smacking him for 300-600 each, and you can't get the lumbering giant to step over a 1-foot rock.

All in all though a fun quest. Just make sure there's a storm cloud nearby the Prince when you fight him, because you will need one to stock back up on health when Thrym shows up to challenge you. If you have to run halfway across the damn zone to find a stormcloud, like I did several times, Thrym will despawn even if you tagged and are kiting him along with you.

Commento di 364869

Something interesting happened to me during this quest...

I was wandering around looking for Thrym ('cuz this was before I realized he spawned after killing the Prince) and my giant was getting hit repeatedly by some monster. I looked & looked, ran around, tried to target something, but no matter what I did I couldn't find what was hitting my nearly dead giant. I had temporarily out ran the mobs at this point & there wasn't anything near me. By chance, I happened to see something flicker at the edge of the screen. For whatever reason (maybe it's my monitor), I could barely see what the giant had in it's hand unless I turned the camera so he was sideways. As it turns out, the whole time he was receiving damage my giant was holding a monster that was attacking it the whole time he was holding it!

...and so I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this particular phenomenon.

(And yes of course I dropped that monster like a bad habit once I realized what was going on.) =)

Commento di SpitefulCrow

Blizzard has quite the knack for coming up with awesome quests...

Commento di 357088

It took me a little while to "master" the Button 3 option which lets you also restore your health from the glowing orbs.

Commento di peacebone

beware!

he handles like a buick

Commento di MisterRik

1) Why the !@#$% does this giant need me to tell him how to fight? It seems he ought to be able to direct his own body a lot better than I can do by riding on his head.

2) Hey Blizz, how about some better instructions? There's no reason I should have to go to a 3rd-party site to figure out what "... needs storm cloud badly!" means. Storm clouds? Ol' Gymer here said nothing about storm clouds before we got started.

3) Aside from the "can't see !@#$" problem it's incredibly frustrating when I keep pressing an attack button and nothing happens. Maybe if I could see anything I could figure out why nothing is happening. Like, I might have noticed that the knockback attack only functions in a cone in front of me (another thing I had to come here to learn), so once I'd knocked back the mobs in front of me I would see what happened and realize I needed to turn around and do it again to the ones behind me, and to the sides of me...

Commento di 258495

Quest Was a bit of a pain, took me a few try's, for the last part for killing Prince Navarius slain & Thrym slain, just run form where you get on Gymer and run to 31,63 up the stairs and wait a few second then jump down and start on Prince Navarius, goes down rather easy, then when he does down you cant miss Thrym, By far one of the biggest NPC's in game even larger then some of the Major Instances in game. but back to the point you start on him as soon as it tells you, "Grymer needs a Storm Cloud Badly" get movein over to 29, 65 and get the Cloud and keep beating him there and then as soon as he goes down click the red arrow and your done, NEXT QUEST!

Commento di 350446

Argh! On top of the bugs already mentioned, it gets even worse if you disconnect in the middle.

It completely messes the camera up (upon relogging, the camera doesn't compensate for the fact that you're high up...so suddenly your camera is at butt level behind him, or at toe level if you zoom it in to first person mode), forcing you to either try to deal with it in first person mode right at ground level, or to try to restart the quest. Reloading the UI does nothing.

Sometimes the giant's abilities don't come back up. Sometimes they come back after several seconds up.

Sometimes they come back up on your display but won't work at all. They do nothing, not even using energy.

I've gotten to Algal twice in 11 attempts (damned disconnects), and just can't seem to hurt him. The storm clouds only work half the time. And hell, sometimes the attacks don't even do anything to the mobs around you...uses your energy up, though!

Commento di 289377

The biggest key to this quest, I found, is to absorb a storm cloud immediately before or during a fight with one of the bosses. This sends Gymer into some sort of overdrive and generates lots of energy for his abilities, in addition to healing him.

Commento di 360917

Follow Gemily directions and you can't go wrong. Thanks Gemily

Commento di 266356

The opposing faction can be a big hindrance during this quest. While the Giant's offensive spells don't seem to do much to other giants, the Knockback effect will send you flying quite a ridiculous distance.

Also, Thrym does NOT get auto tagged after killing the mob that makes him spawn; After being harrased by opposing faction members trying to get this quest done, I waited for their Thrym to spawn and tagged him, and got total credit for the quest.

Commento di 452400

Great quest, really epic. The enemies are not all that hard though. Navarius and Thrym (who, like all mobs in this quest, is phased and has only 200K HP or so) are push-overs. Algar was a bit harder, but I tackled him first and that was when I didn't know what Storm Clouds looked like. Really, learn to recognize them, because they are life savers.
Biggest enemy in this quest is probably the camera, because you can see only in one direction. So for example, when you are battling Thrym and are looking at him, you don't get to see the dozens of undead trash mobs nibbling at your shins. Not that it really matters, because they don't do nearly enough damage to kill you, but I found it annoying anyway.

Just one question, is that Storm Giant in Howling Fjord now friendly to you? Would seem logical since you freed his king, but I have my doubts about a Storm Giants ability to think logical.

Commento di 463891

I had to kill Prince V. twice before Thyrm came around. So make sure you look around for thyrm and then kill him. Make sure there is a storm cloud that you can use because after killing the prince you will need more health.

Commento di ellmo

HE HAS A MELEE? O_o

My two cents:

Do not trust too much in throwing the Vrykuls for damage when you need that oh-snap AoE Damage quick. Gymer is an idiot and tends to throw the vrykuls into targets that are far away, even when he's being raped by millions of ghouls eating his ankles.
I think the strom cloud near prince doesn't work. I tried to use it a few times in a row, and left the quest because I thought it was bugged. Later I found that that all clouds worked fine, except that one. At least for me.

Commento di 64237

this giant handles like a freaking tanker ship so using your mouse to steer might be an idea. I lost count of how many times I tried to get out of a crumbled structure (there's so many in the area they're hard to miss) and the legions of undead were on me like a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat. So yeah, don't steer like you're on a regular mount or on foot, use your mouse.

Commento di 338361

What this guy said. Except I could activate Storm's Fury just by STANDING in the clouds for a couple seconds. The buff lasts for 8 seconds I believe but you don't even need that long to kill the elites.

Gymer makes the undead taste Gymer's size 600!, the elites die within a matter of seconds, and you can finish the quest in a minute or two. What's not to love about that?

AAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHH! SUCH POWER!

Commento di 305415

This quest is absolutely ridiculous. Unnecessarily difficult, and it took an absurd amount of time and tries to complete. Those "Storm Clouds" were absolutely useless as they bugged out and didn't do anything. All those mobs coming at you were incredibly frustrating as well because they never stop coming so by the time you get to the guy you're supposed to kill, you're already down to half health! DO NOT do this quest. Do not waste your time. It took me well over an hour to complete the THREE objectives!

Commento di Ssateneth

is anyone else having extreme troubles killing thrym at the end? I think the aoe damage nerf made this quest very hard

Commento di atom0s

Seems to be very buggy still. I can't kill Thrym as none of the orbs heal and Prince does his reflection move about 2-3 seconds before he even starts casting it on my screen resulting in me having about 1% health by the time Thrym spawns.. pretty much impossible to complete at the moment. Tried several times already and same thing every time. I can clear the 100 mobs and Algar without issue, but with the orbs not working at all, and the Prince reflecting damage without me knowing it's pretty much impossible to win.

I also had the troll custom glitch when I forced myself out of it (right-clicked the buff) and delete all my macros/undo all my binds. I highly suggest avoiding this quest. It's not worth the reward with this much trouble.

Oh, another thing. If you run too far away from Thrym, he will reset and despawn. Meaning you have to kill Prince again to make him spawn. He will not follow you far, so you need to pretty much use the two orbs near Prince, both of which wont heal me.

Commento di 222590

This will be the third character I have attempted this quest with. Even with the help on this site (for which, many thanks to all of you who contributed!) I have ended up abandoning the quest.

There's only a couple quests in the entire world o' warcraft I hate on the way to lvl 80. This might be #1.

This is a great quest for gathering Love Tokens. By the time I killed the 100 Scourge that the quest requires (less than 5 minutes), I had gathered about 25 of them. I decided not to complete this quest and use it again to gather the rest of the Love Tokens that I need.

Commento di x5992

Took me a few tries to do this quest. Mostly due to the horrible camera angle. I had to zoom in to a first person view in order to finish it.

Also, I'm not sure how you got the love tokens on this quest. I didn't get any either. ebonhand must be right that Blizz "fixed" it. I did a quest in Dragonblight where you drive that tank and kill scourge getting plenty of tokens. In retrospect, since there's no time limit on controlling the tank I should have sat there for a lot longer until I got about a 100.

The storm clouds don't do anything! You hold one in your hand and attack to try and heal yourself and nothing happens! Camera angles are pretty much !@cked and you spend half the time trying to fight off mobs that don't seem to die. The quest rewards are rubbish for the effort. Congratz blizz on successfully screwing up yet another thing in wotlk. Horrible quest for an even more horrible expansion. Abandoned and never attempting again!

PLEASE ANYONE WHO IS DOING THIS QUEST READ THIS! the easyest way to do this is to not zoom your camera out all the way, but to move it into first person view, that way you can at least see what is in front of you even tho you cant see you, at least you can see somthing.

Commento di Caithann

Personally thought this was a horrible quest. Annoying, endless spawns of undead, and even though I had the storm cloud targetted the Giant would decide to pick up a Vykrul instead.

Then when I finally had everything under control and was taking down the Prince, a second giant came along, ate my storm clouds, then left me to Thrym.

:(

Commento di chop360

This q-line could have been so epic but instead it is very annoying and poorly executed;
He gets caught on the tiniest of ruts and lumps on the ground
His jump is stupidly low
You cannot zoom far enough out to target the enemies or see what you doing
Doesn't do enough damage
Not enough energy regen
He seems to agro the whole zone sometimes
To get rid of the ridiculous amount of undead follwers it is quicker to dismount, fly back to the quest start, then run back the area you were just at

Just my opinion so don't go ape on the downrating

(Edit: also the crummy thorny things around zuldrak dont help mobility issues)
(Edit 2: he makes aggro noises all the time just to confuse you some more)
(Edit 3 lol: His "Gymer Throw" ability seems to be useless as far as I can see. Ok this negative rant has gone on too long now:P)

This ^&*!ing quest is the worst thing, ever. I'm about to give up leveling my Prot Warrior and just level something else for GOOD, I'm that $%^&ed off.

-Kill Prince, get to about 50% HP, STORM %^&*ING CLOUD.

Big $%^& off !@#$ comes, killing him, along with 6 &*!@ing million scourge... and guess what? CAN'T FIND ANY *!@#ING STORM COULDS ANYWHERE. none. Nada.

You have no idea how @#$%ed off I am atm.. it's not natural.

Bugged for me, killed Algar 3 times without getting credit and gave up. Not worth 30k XP to figure out all the weird idiosyncrasies and bugs of this quest. Just skip it and move on.

When i am doing the quest and kill the Algar the Chosen, it doesn't check it off of my quest list.

Perhaps a bug?

Commento di crackface

worse quest ever, i killed Prince Navarius twice and diddnt get credit, and twice he disappeared. kind of stupid picking up an enemy and he throws it 100 feet away somewhere like an idiot where it doesnt help anything. then thyrm sppears out of thin air and ends the quest for me early. this quest isnt worth the time.

Commento di 303818

HUGE TIP: This quest turns out to be much much easier if you get maximum dps! Unless you want to quickly get rid of a bunch of adds do not bother using ability 3 and 4 (the hand pickup/heal and throw ability). Instead, SPAM click "1" and "t" (for autoattack) and nothing else. Just alternate, "1" and "t" against all bosses as fast as humanly possible. The bosses will guaranteed fall over within less than 15 seconds - I am not kidding. You will in the process lose almost no health because you kill so fast (the adds after all do not do much damage and the bosses will have almost no time to use special abilities). Therefore, you do not have to worry about those damn stupid bloody annoying effing Storm Clouds.

The only other tip that worked for me and was very useful for Prince Navarius posted earlier in the thread:

There is a ramp at that leads up to the argent strand, run up there, and around the corner to the left. Go a few paces and stop, very few undead will follow you up there! You can kill them. And then, look down and you can see the Prince! Jump down (no fall damage!) and you won't catch any extra adds :D

<-- that really works. Nothing worse than 1,000+ adds while you're fighting a boss, it just eats away at your health and makes you worry.

This is a pretty quest that could have been epic. But the Storm Clouds do not behave as expected and truly mess up what seemed like a multi-aspect vehicle quest.

Remember spam just 1 and t. All else useless.

Commento di 62855

Got DC'd from server and failed quest with one of my alts. This never happened before with my other toons. I went back the the giant in the cage, but could not get close enough to talk to him again because the cage is back up. Since I had no dynamite, I abandoned quest and went back to the forward camp, but the engineer there doesn't seem to be able to give me more and no way to pick up quest line again. How Do I pick it up again after failing once and abandoning?

To answer my own question....after a while Thyrm "grows" a yellow exclamation mark again. No need to get more dynamite. Whew.

Commento di 661862

Ok, to lose aggro from those pesky mobs run up the ramp at cords 22, 64 just a short distance west of Crusader Forward Camp. Then head east down Thyrm's walkway, as soon as you bob and weave around a big thorn branch, which sorta blocked me up once or twice, all mobs will have stopped following you. Then run on down to where the Prince is and jump him from behind! Make sure you right click for all major boss battles as the auto attack kicks there butt fast. Good luck.

Commento di 332132

I hate the crap out of this quest and the one in Sholazar with the titan. The storm clouds I get rarely heal me, Thrym always despawns when I go looking for a storm cloud to heal me after killing Navarius. I always end up getting severely pissed. I'm glad they added more quests so you don't have to do this one to get the Empire of Zul'Drak achievement.

Commento di Zrno

DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT bother to do this idiotic piece of ^&*! quest! It is a waste of time and u will be going mad with anger over it! It is bugged to begin with, if u get lucky enough to kill the damn mobs u have to kill u WILL NOT get credit for them! Second, when you have to throw the mobs to dps something out, u will end up throwing them 1000s of feet away from the mob u have to hit! The healing orbs here will not heal u and u will be constantly under attack by 100s of little mobs! Just glad u dont need this quest to complete the quest achievement here. So again folks, DO NOT even bother trying this piece of !@#$ quest, its not worth ur time.

For this quest AUTO ATTACK is your friend. As with all vehicles they do not auto attack so you have to make them. As long as you remember to do that you'll rip them apart. On the prince don't even bother using spells just auto attack he'll die in about 5-10 seconds then Thane will spawn and die's in about 20. Just 1-2 whole fight keeps the adds off you and hurts him he'll be at 40% life when your at 70% as long as he's at around half your life or less your good when your done just click exit and mount up fly away turn in collect your reward.

Commento di 709375

The absolute worst quest ever created in World of Warcraft for three reasons:

1) Gymer will stunlock at random times throughout the quest until he dies. This has happened to me five times so far and it is absolutely frustrating.

2 Thrym despawns if you die. The only way to make him spawn is to kill the Prince again. Even if you do spawn him in time, this quest does not phase your character and thus other people can come up and finish what you started.

3) This quest is clearly a mark on Blizzard's attempt to bring large scale / siege quests into World of Warcraft. This is an MMORPG, we don't want this kind of stuff. Controlling Gymer is incredibly difficult and totally obscure in comparison to other Zul'drak quests.

Epic Fail.

Commento di wipp

Thrym phases out as soon as I get on the giant's back. Stupid.

Commento di Iliana

I've done this quest lots of times on other toons, with minimal problems, but today I'm trying it and I can't click on Storm Clouds. I made a macro to target them, which works, but when I try to eat them (don't remember the command at the moment), I just end up picking up a geist. Anyone else having these problems?

Edit: I changed the macro to:
/target Storm Cloud
/cast Gymer's Grip

Success!

Commento di Pastoral

I really wish the Devs would stop creating quests like this. I didn't roll a giant; I don't want to play one. Besides, it's poorly designed. Auto-attack shuts off, and if you fail the mission, you have no way of finding the giant to start again. And all I get are these warning signs that I need to find a storm cloud. But I do a 360 and I don't see any. So, those warnings don't do me any good. No quests where I have to play something else. I want quests where I use my own abilities.

Regarding Storm Clouds, I haven't seen a one. Supposedly the ones on green squares help, but hell if I see any. I see something that looks like a green square decorated with strange runes, but no clouds on it. Nothing targetable. What do these clouds look like? I see toon sized sparks on the ground, but again, they cannot be targeted.

Addendum: I found the Storm Clouds. Silly me, thinking clouds were something in the sky. They rest on the ground and look like electrical sparks with smoke rising from them. And the ones on the green rune-decorated squares function as a heal over time. It took me several tries, but I finally got the last mob.

You have to kill the Prince (a player-sized mob in a translucent sphere) to make the Thrym spawn. I went up the ramp, took a left, then another left and I was right above the Prince. I can tell you that on one of those tries, even though I dropped in on Prince (literally), the adds absolutely did come. In swarms. (In most cases, they didn't, but apparently it can happen.) But when I found a Storm Cloud on the green square, I was able to grab it (although it doesn't seem to be targetable) after killing the Prince, and easily beat Thrym.

Despite the fact that I succeeded, I think this quest sucks. As I said above, I'm prefer quests in which I can use my own skills. Riding a vehicle and not able to use my own spells/abilities feels emasculating.

Alternating the 1 key and the t (to activate the first ability and auto-attack, respectively) seemed to work.

Commento di 718186

dont waste your time on this quest. 30k.. for such an unwieldy pain in the ass side quest.... not worth it

Commento di helmates

I echo most of the negative comments about this quest (NB; the comment about how the devs who worked on this should be fired is totally juvenile and unwarranted, and shows a lack of real-world understanding). The nintendo-style riding quests all annoy me to no end. This one is the worst of the bunch IMHO because you cannot see well enough to be effective.

Sure, lots of people can do this quest, and there are some extremely helpful comments listed above, but I my reflexes are long past those of a finely-tuned 12-15 year old rinse-and-repeat nintendo junkie.

IMHO these riding quests all encourage (and in some cases) necessitate what I call meta-gaming: mashing keys, non-sensically in the half-baked "Gambler's Fallacy" hope that you somehow succeed. This is not strategy.

I would much rather see meta-quests like the awesome Sunflowers versus Zombies. This one is as awesome and fun as the Storm Giant riding one is horrible and frustrating, requiring speed and brain power, but not the rapid mashing of keys.

Commento di 409642

Yep, it's doable, but it's hard and it sucks.
This quest is not challenging for the right reasons. It's just hard because you can't see your enemies or the storm clouds and you can't maneuver right.
I only saw the f-ing storm clouds when I didn't need them yet.
And once I finally did see one, at very low health, I couldn't grab it! Graaaaaah!.
Well, after 11 attempts or so I finally got it, strangely enough, because Gymer died when Thrym had very little hp left, and I fell to the ground.
A second later the text 1/1 Thrym slain popped up.
Grunt.
Case closed.
I'm never going back there.
Hmphh.

Commento di 736079

ok gang, just completed this after about 20 hours! man! first bit of confussion is the dang storm clouds. i spent four hours looking into the sky for them. even thought they were maybe in one special location in the sky that could only be seen if you stand in the correct location. boy was i wrong. the really should be called energy puffs or something. someone discribe them as pink? well my color must be off cause i see them now as bright white electrical things. they are generated at the ground level, not the sky! so they make our giant seem awfully dumb. but seeing he cant fight without our direction, i guess thats par.... there are two locations just before the prince that make them. one on one side of the path and the other on the opposite side and down a bit. one of these is out in the open the other is in the frame work of an old stone structure. you can only get to in from one direction. and convenuatly its from the prince side after fighting him. both have the green diagram on the ground they generate from.. then there is another one in the arena area where you fight the prince. dont pay any attention to the green box here. it offers little but in the corner is a place that generates the light puffs. you can usually only get one serving here. and best to stop after you kill the prince while jerk head is beating on your back. then run through him down toward one of the other two i mentioned above. look for the one in the horse shoe shaped stone structure. chances are best to get energy here. then turn and fight the last giant. now if in any case you only have 1/2 your energy or life. just give up or keep trying to get the energy puffs. you wont have enough to fend off the last giant. you will need at least 7/8 of your life to match with him. so if you dont have it, either relax and take the beating till the next round.

the prince, what a guy! he tends to go in cycles with the using of the reflective soul spell (dont rememeber the exact name,its listed abvoe) in some boughts, he using it very often and you havnt a chance. then there are a couple of times he only uses it once, this is your opertunity. i think i even got him in one round and he didnt use it at all. its during these last two the fight goes fairy quickly. i also found using the ground affect push back, #2 button) helps with getting rid of he melee groups down below for a few seconds.

then there is one fruiit cake that has some kind of lightening bolt thing that whipes out half your life in one shot. not sure if its those ground cannon looking things or not. but just be prepared to die and come back.

as said above you will need at least two refils of the electric puffies two beat the last guy. i did this so many times i toon didnt even agro the monters at the cage any more. it was like they just looked at me and said, oh, its him!

one other thing, if you happen to show up and see someone else fighting the last guy, just know if you help him you wont get credit. the four tmes i did it, the guy just ran off. it would have been nice if he waited around and fought off the melees in order to help me. but nooooo.

but for all i know he may not have been able to see i was there.

oh and the tip about heading down the path the other giant is always patroling is a good one. the montsers dont seem to chance ya as bad down it. just head south from the cage and look for it. its also the least comber some trip to the prince.

oh, one last thing, 1 and T, do it when your full up on the life and your fighting the last guy. it doesnt work so well with the prince cause of his stupid spellll that reverses the melee your doin and kills ya pretty quick. best just to go manual and ground clear when he has the stupid spell up.

one guy mentioned have plenty of clouds around, ha ! dont know how you can do it, even made me think maybe they were in my bags> ha! nope, not there. you just have to find a way to get to the location and grab one in time befoe you die.

to me to complete this even knowing the above now means one is going to have to die at least 15 times or more. plan on it.
i think i must have died over 100 times on this quest before completing. guess what? the satisfaction was only momentary!
me-0

Commento di 744875

Hated this quest, mainly due to the awkward camera angle; it makes looking for enemies and clouds a headache.

It might be a bit obvious, but the stormclouds you're looking for are little blue lightning spheres floating near the ground... I kept looking in the sky for the first few minutes! Doh...

Totally second the auto-attack tip. That made things so very much easier. Use your map to locate the bosses! Algar is a skeleton flying dragon, the Prince is in a little bubble at a corner of the ruins, plus he starts talking when you approach him, Thyrm jumps down after the Prince is killed; all three should not be difficult to find.

Keep in mind the position of the stormclouds around, rush right towards the boss, autoattack him, spam 1, run away to get a stormcloud when things get a bit sticky. Should not be too difficult, so long as you manage your health and don't let yourself get swarmed.

Once done, just alight; the mobs will magically disappear (save for the normal mobs that would usually be around the area).

Ugh...

Any tips on how to select and pick up the storm cloud? I was getting frustrated so I tried just standing really close to one and kept trying to select it - never did see it show up in my "target" area, and although I kept hitting the hand, I never managed to actually heal myself either. Very frustrating!

Commento di 218582

Still bugged! didn't dismiss my hunter pet while talking to gymer, so action bars went bye-bye! Controlling your character/vehicle is overrated, I guess.

And yes, even after I looked up the shortcut for exit vehicle. BROKEN.

Commento di 673059

What I find annoying about these kind of (vehicle) quests can't be better put than Pastoral already did.

I really wish the Devs would stop creating quests like this. I didn't roll a giant; I don't want to play one.

IMHO, a good (=challenging) quest should force a player to play to the strength of his character's class. Based on the character's abilities the player should develop a strategy to overcome the challenge and that strategy should differ a lot when doing the same quest on a different class.

Seeing how questing looks like in Cataclysm we can deduce that the creators of this quest have not been fired (as somebody suggested). On the contrary.

Commento di jimmypringles

I was expecting an epic stampede, instead...

1. Camera and control is terrible + auto-attack issue as has been mentioned by virtually everyone here.
2. Given that I'm on a giant, and the adds seem to aggro and chase me to the ends of the earth. I don't understand why Thyrm kept losing aggro on me and goes back and resets his health when I run a little far (to the storm cloud near the roads) -- even despawned once, making me have to kill Nevarious again..
3. Given that I'm on a giant, and he keeps yelling about how he will trample everyone, you'd think your giant will do more aoe damage on the adds...
4. There are over 9000 adds and they do ridiculous damage if you stand still for just a few seconds..

The other vehicle quests I've done so far have been clunky but bearable, but this one made me want to shoot myself... ugh.

Commento di 781755

This was so bad I made an account just to put in my two cents.

Too many zerg zombies.
Every time I tried to grab a storm cloud, he'd pick up a Vargul instead! And yes, I did have the storm cloud targeted.
Clunky controls
Difficult to tell how effective the AE damage was, as even when surrounded completely it seemed that it was missing most of the mobs.

Terrible, terrible design. This could have been a great quest, but the mechanics ruin it. Would be a lot more doable if the grab command had a lower cooldown, but I just don't have the patience to bother with this nonsense.

Commento di Sunreaver

This would be a really really fun quest if it also wasn't so dang frustrating. As mentioned up above (somewhere), moving away from Thrym to get a cloud causes him to lose aggro and despawn. All it would take to make this quest completely awesome is to fix that despawn problem, or add a couple more clouds right near the prince's area. All the other problems aren't that big a deal...

Commento di 778724

Loremaster of Zul'Drak can be completed without this quest. I personally had more trouble with this quest than any other I can remember.

Commento di 762557

Took Gemily's advice and made a keybound macro for targeting the clouds. Went through it one more time. Still can't pick them up. Well, can't pick IT up, since the only one you get without resetting Thrym and having to do the last two over again is the one you find right behind Prince Nevarius. I hit the key, targeted the cloud and spammed the hand... nothing. Made sure to throw anything I might be holding... nothing. I'm just going to refuse to do this quest until Blizzard figures out how to make it manageable. You shouldn't be required to make macros and go to ridiculous lengths just to do a simple quest. Fail, Blizz... fail.

Commento di 568981

I don't know if I'm the only person with this problem, but no matter what I did, i couldn't target the storm clouds - tried clicking it, tried targeting it - nothing worked, I ended up abondoning the quest.

This quest is pretty frustrating now, Storm clouds cannot be targetted anymore (Meaning if I'm being attacked by swarms of enemies I'll pick up an enemy instead of a cloud), Energy instead of mana (Sometimes have to wait a few seconds to do anything...).

This is the most crappiest and hardest quest I have ever done. First, the enemies spawn out of no where, when you die, you have to somehow find your giant, and the enemies that were attacking you disappear. Secondly, What the hell are storm clouds? I couldn't find any, anywhere. I found these little smoke zappy things, went on it, did nothing. Can't even verse one boss because I get ganged by 100 enemies plus an elite on the giant. And no healing ability or ACTUAL good abilities? The only good abilitie is 1. 2 is alright for some points, and 3 and 4 are useless.

Commento di MizKitteh

I freely admit to being a noob at WoW.. Heck, my first toon just hit 80... And I have a sucky computer... but I did this quest easily the first time after reading the tips.
Let me reiterate, you HAVE to go to interface and pull your view all the way back, that's going to be the only way to somewhat see what you're doing and what's going on around you.
First person doesn't work.
The ramp tip is a good one, but if you get to the road, you can run the other way and lose mobs, as I learned my first ride, before coming here to read. If you want to wait a while on the road, your giant's health will start to refill.
I am not sure about this, but it seems that on the platform above the Prince, where the mobs don't follow, it may be possible to wait for your giants health to regen.
That is also a good place to stand, look around and map in your mind where your storm cloud is. There SHOULD be one between the Prince and the ramp.
Again, as was said, the Prince gets kills snatch your cloud and kill Thrym. Spam T and 1, jump to smash the minions nipping at your knees and enjoy.
I have a lot of fun with this quest and I generally hate vehicle quests.

Commento di 291365

Worst quest ever:
1. Can't SEE storm clouds, let alone target them.
2. Gymer's damage output sucks, to put it mildly. Crowds of trash adds do more damage than Gymer does.
3. It seems your range of sight is deliberately limited, so you can't tell what's around you, no matter where you put your camera angle or focus.

Reward mail bracer isn't bad, but not worth the frustration of this crappy quest.

As others have said, this thing is worse than that crappy ride the giant quest in Sholazar Basin to open the Waygate.

Commento di ricardlogost

Just did this again on an alt and remembered how much I hate this quest.

Only way I can describe how bad this one is:

It's worse than "The Green Hills of Stranglethorn".

(The original. Not the watered down current version. My bags still cry out in pain from the memory.)

Commento di Strivs

If you stand at 28,44 Algar the Chosen will be flying around you.
Prince Navarius is over at 32,63 (make a targeting macro, impossible to see him in all the mobs) and Thrym jumps down to around 31,61 after you have killed Navarius. (I don't think you'll need a targeting macro for him =P )

I had trouble targeting the Stormclouds, so making a targeting macro beforehand would again be a good idea; remember to use 3 on the action bar to grab them and regain health.

The only other tip I can think of is to make sure that you're auto-attacking the main target, as that does a significant amount of damage, and typically of me I only found this out on the last one >.<

Commento di LaCrysta

I got pissed off when Thrym despawned that when Gymer died, I just ran over to him and killed him myself (level 82 with Cat-gear). It was hard, but doable, and it doesn't count.

Thank you Gemily, I got it with your advice.

Commento di Macree

Once again, here are the coordinates. Make sure to plot these before you start so you know where you are going.

28,45 Algar the Chosen
32,62 Prince Navarius
32,62 Thrym (appears after defeating Navarius)

Here are some tips that other posts have mentioned above. These were extremely helpful.
1. Use the throw command (#4) when killing Scourge.
2. Use 'T' to auto-attack (especially helpful vs Thrym).
3. Know where your storm clouds are to use between the Prince and Thrym
4. Before Prince Navarius, climb the stairs to the Argent Stand. The Scourge wont follow. Heal, then jump down and kill the Prince.

Commento di 697870

1. If you need to pick up the quest again or just want to know where the quest giver is,
the location of the quest giver, Gymer, for the quest The Storm King's Vengeance is (Zul’Drak) 19, 56.
For those who do not have a coordiantes add on you can just use the macro at the bottom of this comment.

2. When you select "I'm ready, Gymer. Let's go!" you enter a phase that only other people on giants are in.
So it is possible for other people who are on giants to see you and to help each other with the quest but
it is not possible for others who are not on a giant to see you. I know because I saw another player on a giant
while running around but a player that was there with me who did not have the quest said I vanished as soon
as I selected "I'm ready, Gymer. Let's go!" and likewise I could not see the other player who was not doing the quest.

3. It is not possible to zoom out far enough to see your giant completely. So if you want to see a good 3rd person
view of what a player looks like on top of a giant you will need to have someone else running the The Storm King's Vengeance
at the same time you are. Here is a video that shows what it looks like when 2 people are running the quest at the same time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay758U4rK-M

4. If Gymer starts to run out of energy walk over to a Storm Cloud and then click on it.
Once the storm cloud is selected then click on the 3rd attack button Gymer's Grab to recharge his health.
You have to be pretty much on top of the Storm Cloud before you can select it, I found it easiest to click on its name bar.
They are distributed throughout Zul'Drak (on the ground) and look like balls of lightning with clouds around them.

5. Knowing Blizzard's fondness for references it seems likely that this quest was inspired by the
phrase "Standing on the shoulders of giants". In this case it seems Blizzard thought it would be funny
to take a metaphor and show what it would look like if interpreted literally. For more info about the phrase
that was famously uttered by seventeenth-century scientist Isaac Newton see page

6. If you try to ride Gymer outside of the Zul'Drak zone he will vanish and you will fall to the ground.
To start again just go back to Gymer at (Zul’Drak) 19, 56, click on him and select "I'm ready, Gymer. Let's go!".

7. No big surprise, but when riding around on Gymer's shoulders, no other NPCs aside from the ones you are suppose
to attack are visible. So of course you can't use Gymer to farm, or help with other quests.

8. While with Gymer their is a buff at the top right of the screen that says:
Gymer’s Buddy
Riding Gymer the Storm Giant

9. When he is in the cage Gymer is level 77 and has 11,379 health.
When riding on Gymer he is level 80 and has 378k health.

10. While caged up Vargul Deathwakers will throw Plaguebolts at Gymer and he will emote:
Gymer says: Ugly little monsters, pray I don’t get out!
Gymer says: How long do you think this cage can hold me, fiends!
Gymer says: Your torture only adds to my rage!
Gymer says: Wretched beasts!
Gymer says: I will devour you whole!
Gymer says: My brothers will come for me and then you will see what true power is!

11. Also of course you can press tab to select enemies if you don't feel like clicking on them individually.

12. No good reason to do so but if you want to be locked up with Gymer, click on "I'm ready, Gymer. Let's go!"
then don't move out of the cage area, let him die, and then you will be dropped onto the floor of the cage, it will
be instantly reformed around you and Gymer will instantly respawn. You can either click on Gymer again
to break out of the cage or just walk out. But if you walk out you can't walk back into the cage (as usual).

13. When riding Gymer if you stop moving he makes alot of noise even if nothing is hitting him.

14. If you dismount Gymer, sometimes he will emote:
Gymer says: Farewell, friend. May we meet again under better circumstances. I’ll never forget what you did for me!

I hate this quest with the fiery hatred of 1000 suns. Seriously, if you haven't spent much time on it, abandon it and move on. It didn't take me too long to beat Algar and the 100, but I have been working on Thrym for 2 hours. I kill the Prince, but then I need a storm cloud and you don't have to move far at all while looking for a cloud before Thrym disappears. Then you have to re-kill the Prince to get Thrym to re-appear, but the same cycle keeps repeating. I could only find two storm clouds close enough that Thrym did not disappear, and I quickly used them each go-around. This is my least favorite quest that I've done in the entire game.

Commento di 779660

I don't know if they've changed the quest or what. I kill the guy that gets me Thyrm and then there are no storm clouds to be found. I get beat down with no way to heal. I tried this quest over and over and over but I can't get healed enough to take on Thyrm. I got so frustrated I had to sign off. The reward better be worth it cause this quest sucks.

And don't any of you elitist wannabes get on here and tell me maybe I should uninstall cause it's so easy. Just because you saw your little brother do it first doesn't make you an expert. I see other people have had trouble with this as well. Lucky is not the same thing as good.

Commento di 833010

I tried this quest three times and each time I got all scourge that I needed,but none of the people were where they should have been. I also couldn't dismount the guy; I had to wait for him to die. Each time I tried to the quest I abandoed it the got it again ,but it didn't work any time I tried.

Commento di Grimholtt

Same as Tanarile.

All scourge are invisible (the ones I was killing anyway. I couldn't touch the ones I could see). The primary targets were invisible. I couldn't use the grab ability on the storm clouds and I could not dismount the giant.

I think the quest is bugged after the 4.1 patch. It seems to be a zoning issue.

I've completed this quest plenty of times on other alts so I am aware of what needs to be done.

Commento di thedaego

I'm encountering the same problem as the last three posters. Can't pickup the storm clouds, and non of the named mobs are visible. I also was unable to dismount the giant. The quest must be bugged. :(

Edit: I've submitted a bug report here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2549107980#1

Commento di Roughrdr

While not having an issue with the clouds or named mobs, I somehow wind up with several hundred (appx) of those banshees hitting on me. With that many I die in a matter of seconds once I leave the area of the cage, even after chasing down a cloud. I think I have made it to the dragon boss once but never got a chance to attack it cause I kept dieing to the banshees. Never even came close to the boss over in the cornet by the stairs.

Commento di 822024

wouldnt bother with this quest, frustration just isnt worth it, as other comments say worst quest in the whole game

Commento di 734042

Key-binding /target Storm Cloud helps enormously with this quest. Otherwise the storm clouds are hard to find and hard to select, since you'll normally be surrounded by swarms of undead. Sometimes, even if you do have a storm cloud targetted, he picks up a Vargul instead, which is a pain.

Commento di 835767

This is not one of the worst quests in WoW, this is most likely the worst quest ever made. The banshee's can shoot at you from across the map even though they, along with most of the rest of the scourge, hit a point of advancement they can not cross. You still will take damage not only from the Banshee but also from everything else even if nothing is around you. Half the time his first action doesn't even damage the enemies and neither does stomping them. If you fail the quest after killing the Prince, which you most likely will since you are being mercilessly assaulted by non-existent enemies, you will have to start the quest from scratch since Thyrm will no longer appear and there is no way to make him show up. I gave this quest many, many attempts as I enjoy getting every achievement possible including the silly "do x/x quests in this area".

I also saw another post saying to go up and around then jump down on the Prince. Every time I did not enter though the front of the camp he was not there. So that is also a problem.

All in all this quest is more than likely bugged, either that or it was designed to make you go out and buy a new keyboard and mouse and possibly a new monitor. If so Blizzard did an excellent job. If it was intended to be another quest, this is a failure that should be noted in the history books.

Edit: Also as mentioned a couple posts up leaving the giants head is impossible. If you get to the point where you can't kill anything because it is either miles away or invisible/invincible you just have to sit there until you die to get off the giant's head.

Commento di Aquifel

Wow, thats some badly bugged quest right there, horrible waste of time. Lets just do a checklist of what goes wrong:
1. Bugged Camera Angle
2. Ranged Attack Mobs get Infinite Range
3. Named Quest targets dont even appear
4. Healing Option does not work
5. Quest Arrows point in the wrong direction
6. Storm Giant gets stuck on the simplest of terrain
I can only assume there would be more bugs to add to the list if we got to the boss fights that dont work mentioned in #3, or maybe if the healing options mentioned in #4 were targetable. It would be nice if they would at least do a once over of the big important quests, maybe not ALL of them, but at least the few big ones, anyone else noticed that half the bugged quests are the zone-ending blue reward ones?

Commento di Darneas

This quest is horrible. I could put up a better fight with my toon than I can with this giant. He's just filled with all kinds of suck.

Commento di 552496

Last time tried this quest was almost 2 years ago and hadn't tried this quest since. So while doing lore master on my 85 shaman I stumbled across this quest again and thought to try it again. I mean, how hard can it be?

Memory didn't lie. The vehicle controls are absolutely crippled in this game. They seem extra crippled in this quest. So I tried ditching the giant and do this quest by hand as it is posssible to do vehicle quest without using the provided vehicle, so why not in here too?

But!
Of course I kill Thrym only to discover the kill didn't count...

Blizzard, give us option to use vehicle. But don't make it mandatory.

/quest abandoned forever.

Commento di 724386

This quest was very easy. I encountered no bugs, so maybe I just got a lucky run through.

1) Create a macro with /target Storm Cloud
2) After mounting, head to Algar
3) Run up the little altar that Algar pats around. There should a storm cloud right there also
4) If Algar hasnt engaged, pull him to the top.
5) RIGHT CLICK ALGAR to start the autoattack. Then just spam whatever the first attack is and every so often use the knockback (second attack)
6) If low health, use the storm cloud macro and then hit 3. I was always right on top or right next to a storm cloud when trying to heal.
7) Algar should die in about 15-20 seconds. Once dead, run towards the Prince ignoring all the adds. you might have to grab a storm cloud along the way
8) As someone previously suggested, run up the stairs next to the Prince to lose aggro on the horde of undead
9) I couldnt jump down behind the Prince, so i just ran back down the stairs and engaged.
10) There is a storm cloud right behind him. just repeat the steps used to fight Algar,
11) When the prince dies, Thrym comes jumping down out of no where. Engage and repeat the fighting procedure described above. There is a storm cloud near prince you can use
12) After Thrym dies, you probably need to kill some adds. Run around killing them until you hit 100
13) I ran up the stairs again to lose the adds after killing 100, then ran back to the little Argent camp next to the path to turn in.

The previous comments highlight the key points

1) Use a target macro for storm clouds
2) stand right next to or on top of storm clouds to use them. make sure you hit 3 and not 4. you dont need to pick up the storm cloud first. you just need to target, then hit 3 to use it.
3) right click the bosses to start the auto attack

tl:dr, good luck

Commento di fordahord

What storm clouds? There AREN'T any storm clouds!

I found maybe two or three the whole time. Yeah, I had my camera set so I could see just fine. I could jump around the whole square we were fighting in, and there WEREN'T any storm clouds...!

I find it really does help to stay on the roads to reach Navarius. You can head straight south from Gymer's cage to reach the main east-west road. Follow that to the intersection and hang a left. I found almost no mobs along the way. Otherwise, if you cut across the fields, it's possible to have your hundred kills before you get to the first boss.

Then several posts have suggested auto-attack. Just what in the heck is that? Is there a command for it? Is there a key-bind for it? No, and no. In the interface, in the Combat section, there is an option to TURN OFF the auto-attack. Apparently, it is otherwise always on.

However, I searched through the key-bind function and found that SHIFT-T does the Pet Attack. So when I fought Navarius (again) and Thrym (again), this time I spammed SHIFT-T. It seemed to work.

I never really did see any more than just two clouds. I'd go over and stand on them and that seemed to do the trick.

Goodness, what a poorly designed quest. Like the man said: if I had wanted to play a giant, I'd have rolled a giant. What's the deal, Blizz? Do you really mean to suggest that none of your designers read here...?

Commento di 864298

Agree with everyone who said this is the worst quest in the game.

The visibility alone make it bad and, since everything else comes from visibility (grabbing heals for example), the quest reaches a whole new level of stupid.

I'd love to face punch the dum-dum who implemented this quest ...
or go back in time and prevent him from even being conceived.

Needless to say, this is one quest I've permanently scratched off my To Do List

Commento di 735207

Stopping to fight the scourge along the way will just get you killed. Their numbers are infinite and no matter how many you kill there will be more. Ignore them and head to your main targets. Stand on the ball lightning and spam the pound and shock wave and most importantly use T for your auto attack. It is decently easy with the auto attack and well nigh impossible without it.

They should rename Thrym as "Crotch" cos that's all you see using the first person view.

I'm on about my 8000th attempt of this quest and it's horrible...I can't find any storm clouds anywhere. I understand how to use them, I just can't find them. I click on what appears to be a stormcloud and nothing happens...I stand on top of what appears to be a Storm Cloud and use Grab, nothing happens. Meanwhile I'm getting chopped to bits by tons of elite scourge and can't beat What's His Name The Chosen. This is one helluva frustrating quest, but that only means it'll be even more satisfying to finally beat it (which should be any year now...)

Some people are talking about how this is the worst quest ever and I'm inclined to agree. Not only is it the worst, but it's the most infuriating. Now, I dunno if it's bugged, or if I'm doing it wrong. All I know is it's ridiculous. I mean I like a good challenge and all, but not to the point where it resets over and over if you stray like, one centimeter too far away from the area. I kill Navarius, Thyrm appears, but he doesn't do a thing. He just stands thing lookin all derpy. I don't do any damage to him no matter what I do, so I try walking right up to him to see if that changes. Bad move, because every single time I do that, the whole thing resets and I have to kill Navarius AGAIN to make him appear for another shot. I pretty much gave up, because I have no idea what to do to find a way around it. If this is a big I hope it gets fits soon. Otherwise, I hope it gets changed to be a little more precise and a little less easy to bug the quest and fail. =(

The easiest part of this quest was hitting the "abandon" button.
Huge waste of time anymore.

Commento di Slania

I don't know whether Blizz have fixed the quest since Cata (i.e made it doable), but I just did it on an alt and was able to down all the 'bosses' on my first try. Navarius used to give me the most trouble before but was a breeze this time and there were at least 2 storm clouds near each boss I could use.

I got to the first one fine and finished on half health, used a storm cloud, walked to nearby the second boss and pounded the hundreds of Scourge that followed me along the field til they all died. Then second boss, storm cloud right by him if I needed and one a bit along on a green rune circle on the ground, ended that one on half health too, took the storm cloud on the green circle and then killed Thrym fine (throwing Vargul seem to damage him more than spamming button 1).

Commento di 961718

I just tried this 4 times and every time I get to Thrym, there are no nearby storm clouds. I have to re-kill the Prince to see Thrym again every time and being at half life when starting the encounter with Thrym is what makes it difficult when there are no nearby storm clouds to regain health.

The other half of what makes this difficult is that even if you see a storm cloud, Gymer's stupid feet are too uncoordinated to get there. He gets stuck very easly between the trees, walls and whatnot all over the place. He can't jump that high either. If they cleared out some of the stuff on the ground to make it easier to find a storm cloud, then it wouldn't be so frustrating. It seems like they've reduced the storm clouds since cata, too. I recall that there used to be more clouds.

Commento di 961718

Go back to Gym's cage and talk to him again if he died. You can get in his body again that way. You won't have to re-kill anything you've already killed before except for Prince to get Thrym to appear after.

Commento di 938258

I have tried this quest a multitude of times. I defeated Algar and Navarius with little trouble, however, it's another matter when it comes to Thrym. As someone else said, there are very little to no storm clouds in that area or anywhere nearby, and when there are, Gymer can't even grab them so you can't heal anyways. So, by the time Thrym comes to avenge Navarius, and my health is at 30% or less and I somehow have to kill him while being assaulted by countless other scourge...
Yeah, I'm pretty much f--ked.
Not only is THAT frustrating about the quest, but no where in the quest info or talking to Gymer were Storm Clouds mentioned. I didn't find out about those until I came here.
Yeah, I'm pretty much incredibly irritated. Deciding to quest in Zul'Drak for something new was a horrendous idea.

Commento di 995103

1st of all, for those of you trying to figure out what a "stormcloud" looks like, it is a blue orb that moves ...here is the data page:
Furia dei Cieli
2nd, I killed all the 100 Scourge as required,
Then I killed Algar and then the Prince.
When I went to kill Thyrm, he was activated when I was not riding Gymer, but when I would get on Gymer, suddenly, Thyrm was no longer activated...apparently, the quest is still bugged. Waiting to hear from Blizzard...

Commento di 995103

Also want to add, that if you position your target, be a stormcloud or adversary, between Gymers head and his left shoulder, ge will pick up/damage the target more effectively

Commento di Barringa

The only positives I felt came from this horrible quest were the blue rewards and the feeling of absolute relief I experience when I realised I had finished this stupid thing and never had to do it again!

Commento di mtmeade3

WOW! Thanks for all the great info! I died twice because i missed the part about the storm clouds and did not know how to heal myself. Trying to kill Algar I ran out of health and that's when I came here to see if there was something specific about him I was missing. Anyway, this is a really fun quest and I am very glad you all made your posts to help people like me out. Thanks again! I am now going back to try it again, the right way this time, LOL!

Commento di 862249

Can i skip this quest for Loremaster? Is it the center of a big hub?

Commento di 1021077

As most of you have read, this quest is very buggy, and some people just hate the quest in general. To help alleviate some frustration, here's some more info.

You do not need to target enemies or storm clouds to pick them up. Your only problem may be when you're near both and want a certain one.

Kill Algar first, and make sure you hit him with an auto attack (right click in melee or T key). If you do not hit him with a basic attack, he will not give credit for kill. I killed him numerous times before looking online and finding out Gymer actually has an autoattack... use it!

Navarius is next, watch out for his reflection spell, as it reflects any damage you do back to yourself while up. That's usually a good time to go find a stormcloud. Immediately after Navarius dies, Thrym appears, and he's bigger than you are! This wasn't too hard after having had to master throwing elites to damage Algar.

Note that if you die while fighting Thrym, you will have to re-fight Navarius again to make Thrym respawn.

Commento di zemmix

Is this quest broken now as of 5.0 when you die on Gymer?

I died but he didn't respawn in his cage afterward. His body stayed where it died. And even after abandoning the quest I'm still stuck in the phased world and Gymer hasn't respawned in his cage.

Commento di 1031644

Commento di Siaeri

Like the previous two comments, I also kept getting disconnected every single time. I tried so many times last night before moving on to other quests, and then again today. I was being disconnected after maybe 5 seconds, 10 seconds if I was "lucky." I'm wondering if this is something that requires a ticket to get Blizzard's attention.

Commento di 1031035

If you have disconnections upon getting on Gymer's back. Delete your addons and your Cache and WTF folders.

Commento di Black2u

Did they change this quest? My Storm King died, and I remember when Wrath first came out, if he died, you just went back to his cage and he would appear in cage again and you could get back on him and continue. Now he dies, and he doesn't appear in cage or anywhere. I am not sure if I need to drop this quest and pick it back up and start over. I submitted a bug ticket.

Commento di tworley210

I completed the first two bosses easily but Thrym does not spawn on the road he inhabits. If I dismount from Gymer while on the central road, Thrym spawns and kills my avatar. I'm joining the "this quest is too buggy" crowd.
I also got disconnected from it but thought it was normal Blizz problems till I read the comments.
After reading your comments I went back and killed Navarious again and waited, Thrym spawns but if you go get a Storm Cloud when Gymer gets low, Thrym leaves and gets full health again instantly. I give. Blizz you win another round.

Commento di 1070025

The most annoying quest I've done =_= Didn't have disconnection problems, but stupid Gymer is too weak and died once and almost second time and those storm clouds are one damn hard thing to catch, he kept picking up mobs instead of them.... Thrym also didn't spawn at first so had to kill Navarius twice. Well, nice rewards. Needed a blue chest

Commento di 319578

I abandoned this quest after not being able to find Thrym. I lost agro with the Prince a couple of times before I killed him, but before I was able to, I saw Thrym for a moment and then he disappeared, forever for me on the quest apparently.

Commento di 1109894

Note to warlocks, dismiss your demon before accepting the quest. I didn't and instead of getting a vehicle interface, I got the abandon vehicle button in place of my demon's action bar. Not that the button worked of course. Had to wait for the vehicle to die and restart the quest without my demon to get it right.

However, after I was able to kill both of the regular bosses, I was attacked by Thrym. He killed me and immediately despawned. I got a new giant and went back, he wasn't there.

I can't use the character I leveled up myself. I can't use the abilities I chose, the ones I learned how to use, the ones I understand. I can't even see what's going on because the camera angle is so poor. Abandoned on the third try because vehicles always have been bad, always will be bad.

Blizzard, do not take my character away from me. He is why I play. If you want to make giants a race, do that. Till then, leave me my forsaken warlock to play as I wish.

REMOVE VEHICLES FROM THE GAME.

Commento di 1110059

No doubt about it, this quest was super annoying AND frustrating. Here's what worked for me:

Step 1: It's easy to get your 100 scourges first and then to avoid them all after. Run dead center into the Dead Fields. There's millions of scourge available there. Once you hit 100, you can either bother with those horrible-to-use Storm Clouds, or you can hop off and go back and get back on Gymer at his cage (19, 56).

Step 2: Algar. What I found to be easy with Algar is a little out-of-the-way... but it pulled him with little to no adds! First exit the cage and turn right. Follow the wall until you reach the giant razor vines in front of the boiling orange water where the scourge and Algar are located. Next, turn right into the vines and run through the low-scourge area towards the ramp for the Argent Strand. (30.78, 66.63) Once at the top turn left and run all the way to the end until you reach Frigid Breach. Follow the path down and stay towards the wall on your left. Algar is flying on a skeletal dragon mount in a circle. Wait for him to get as close to your side as possible and get just close enough to him/scourge and use function 2, it's a roar/knockback that deals some damage. Doing this seems to grab his attention and if you start moving backwards he should follow with 0-3 adds and nothing more. Really easy & fast takedown.

Step 3: Now return to Frigid Breach and follow the route back until you reach the pools again and can overlook where Prince Navarius is at. The good news is, you can jump down where the stairs and ledge meet and not take any damage. More good news is you can pretty much take this guy down with only his 2 guards and 1 add bothering you - and he's really easy. Just remember to use "T" or right-click to get Gymer to deal some real damage as well. If you don't want to worry about life just yet, I recommended that you use Function 2 on Prince Nav's 3 adds just to keep them off you. Now here's the bad news: once you down the Prince, it takes a little bit before Thrym comes at you but the adds all rush at once. So you're going to have to use Function 1 and 2 here. Hit as they rush up, and use the knockback as too many are on you. Keep this up, once Thrym is on you target him and use "T", keep alternating at this point between the pushback for the adds and occasionally tossing out function 1 to keep up with his life. If you've left the Storm Cloud alone that was behind you during your fight with Prince Navarius, now is the time to "/target Storm Cloud" - make sure you're ontop of it and use Function 3. Don't wait until the last minute here, this isn't instantaneous.. it gives you a 10second? heal cast and gradually gives back most of your life. Use the pushback on the adds and take Thrym down.

For me, this quest was bugged. It took me 5 times downing Thrym for it to give me the credit. I even dropped the quest and re-did it. Additionally as soon as Thrym was down Prince Navarius would INSTANTLY respawn. So, keep an eye out. Other than that... this method worked wonders. But it's a horrible bugged and frustrating quest nonetheless. Enjoy!

Commento di 1106087

I've done over 5000 quests in this game (not counting dailies), and this, bar none, is the worst I've ever attempted. Had no issues killing Algar, but the "needs storm cloud" crap was ridiculous. I had no idea what that was, where it was, or how to get it. I had to come here to figure that part out. I spent 5 minutes looking around in the sky for some sort of cloud that would help heal me. Had no idea it was some small thing on the ground (especially small when you're on the back of a giant, no less).

Then, the aggro from all the scourge is seriously ridiculous. No sooner do I kill several hundred of them that are following me around, find a storm cloud to heal myself, and I'm besieged by another several hundred of them. Seriously, how is that supposed to be fun?

Then, killing Prince Navarius seems to be an impossibility. I've tried 5 times so far, and each time I do so little damage to him it's pathetic. Then, as hundreds more of the scourge descend on me, I race to heal myself with a storm cloud. Then, Prince Navarius hits me with a 75,000 damage spell while all the scourge are hitting me for several hundred each. 3 times I've died, and the other 2 times I just ran away, found storm clouds to heal, all the while being chased by scourge. Every time I get healed and head back to Prince Navarius again, I get gang-raped by hundreds more scourge on the way there.

Thrym? If it's this difficult to finish off Prince Navarius, who has only 88,000 health, how in the f**k am I supposed to kill Thrym? I finally just got pissed and took my 84 druid and killed him solo (although it doesn't count for the quest, sadly).

Blizzard, your game designers failed on this one. I wouldn't fire them, but the boneheads that designed this one should be put on some crap job there instead of quest design.

Commento di MsPhelix

I haven't read all of the comments, but here's my take on what I've read (which helped me) and what I experienced.
The Basics:
Getting the 100 Scourge is easy; they come from every where and are relatively easy to kill.
Killing Algar was also not too hard; he is flying on a skeleton mount in the Reliquary of Pain near Voltarus.
Prince Navarius was harder but not too bad; he is in a "camp" in the corner West of the North-South Wall that is the West edge of The Argent Stand and North of the East-West Wall whose East end is the North-South Wall.
Once you've killed Prince Navarius, Thym will show up near you; he is fairly hard to kill; the secret is to have full health when facing him - read on.

I had to get a new Gymer 3 times before I figured the quest out: I got the Scourge and Algar; got Prince Navarius, and had too little health to kill Thym. (more about health later)
If Gymer is killed or you dismount from him before completing the quest, the good news is that the Scourge seem to de-aggro and leave you alone; the bad news is that if you haven't killed Thym, you need to kill Prince Navarius again to call Thym out again (I might have missed something here but I couldn't find him without killing Prince Navarius again).
One time, he came out of his camp and I couldn't seem to damage him much, so I lured him back into his camp and finished him as easily as the other times.
A note about the Scourge: they will swarm you whenever you stop but if you start moving, it's not to hard to get away from them.
Now about health and those Stupid Clouds
THEY ARE SMALL AND NEAR THE GROUND, not up where Clouds should be.
You will get a warning (big and in the middle of the screen) when Gymer needs a Cloud; don't panic but get to one fairly quickly;.
I was stupid and didn't read the description of my pet action bar carefully - you get a cloud and heal Gymer by getting close to a Cloud and using the 3 key. It takes a little time for Gymer's health to improve but once you've gotten the Cloud you can continue to fight.
For Thym, as I said Gymer's health was low after killing Prince Navarius; there is (at least there was for me and another comment mentions it) a Cloud nearby. I healed Gymer before attacking Thym and had enough health, barely, to finish him off; alternatively start on Thym and heal from the Cloud later in the fight. Note that you should not move too far from Thym in search of a Cloud because he will despawn.
I did not find this quest buggy as some commenters did.
I hope this helps and Good Luck.

Don't even bother to do this freaking quest,it's not even worth the hassle as the prince summons for aid from nearby mobs

Commento di Pastoral

This quest is completely impossible, and I don't know why anyone would try to convince you otherwise. First, you're advised where Algar is, but when you arrive, you'll see that he's not. You cannot beat this quest if the NPC you're supposed to attack is nowhere to be found.

Secondly, his attack is weak. When you're fighting Navarius, he will leave you very weak. When he dies, you'll be confronting Thrym, and you'll be in no shape to go against him.

All in all, a waste of time. But if you're the type of person who enjoys attempting the impossible, have at it.

Commento di Grimmhilda

The hardest part is the view. The storm clouds that heal you are quite low to the ground and are sometimes hard to see. If this is your first time doing it and you're constantly wiping, it may be worth running around a little and figuring out what they look like and where they are. There are a couple near Algar, some in the middle, and a few near Navarius and Thrym. You want to save the ones near Navarius and Thrym for between the two fights and while your'e fighting Thrym, as the storm clouds take a little while to regenerate. (Algar is up in the air, and he moves around a bit. Navarius is on the ground in the middle of a circle. Thrym summons when Navarius dies.)

Another trick is to mash 2 and move around a little while doing the boss fights. Individual scourge don't to that much damage, but having too many of them on you while fighting Thrym can tip the balance against you, especially when you're low on health and trying to find a stormcloud to heal. The scourge are easily outrun and outmaneuvered, though. Just don't move too far or Thrym will reset. As for getting Thrym to actually engage, just wait for him to finish his couple of shouts.

I hate these "Ride a giant" type quests. I mean, they're all fun at first, but then you get caught on things, and you can't see what you're hitting at all. You might as well make a quest where the screen is entirely black and you flail around for ten minutes like a monkey looking for peanuts.

If you kill the prince and die, Thrym resets. It doesn't count to kill Thrym on your own. If you leave the area the Prince resets in his bubble; there are only two stormclouds in range. If you make a grab at a stormcloud you may grab 'ammo' by mistake and not see it.

It doesn't help that Navarius is tiny, and Thrym fills your whole screen. There's the sound of punching going on and shouting but you can't see what's hitting you. Amd ypur ride is ALWAYS shouting like he's dying no matter what.

And there's ruins all over the place to catch on, and you can't see to dodge them.

Commento di Galthran

Upon killing the necessary targets for this quest I dismounted and Gymer started to follow me. Even after I turned the quest in he would follow me around. I mounted up on a flying mount and flew around Zul'Drak and he would continue to run in the direction I was flying, and when I got too far away he'd pull a Slender Man and teleport right behind me. It wasn't until I left Zul'Drak that he finally disappeared.

Didn't think much of this until I told a guild mate of mine and he said the same thing happened to him on an alt the day before, a guardian/ally type NPC following him even after the quest was turned in and didn't go away until he zoned. So it could be a bug that's happening with quests that involve having an ally/guardian, but I can't confirm that and I haven't experienced this bug with any other quests.

So if the same thing happens to you and you don't want a giant following you around Zul'Drak then zoning fixes it. (I did a /reload and Gymer was still there, maybe logging off and closing the client completely would work, but I didn't test that.)

Commento di RubberStig

I hate this quest with such passion it beggars belief!
Even using all of the tips here I still struggle to succeed!
Seems there is never a storm cloud around when I need one! Grr!

Commento di adjensen

This is, easily, the worst quest in the game. You can't easily target the storm clouds, the storm giant's size makes viewing almost impossible, and resetting Thrym when you die is incredibly frustrating. Spent about an hour trying to complete it tonight, for the nth time, before abandoning with only Thrym left to finish.

Cluelessness, thy name is Blizzard.

Commento di Crodnoces

Gemily's comments are pretty much RIGHT ON. But as of this date, the quest appeared "bugged" to me. After Gymer died, I went back to his cage and he wasn't there. I had to log off before he reappeared. This happened 3 times. The clouds are incredibly difficult to find and then to grab. Gymer only grabbed them about 25% of the time. And I never fought Thrym. If I did, I never knew it. I couldn't get off Gymer when I was told to return Crusader McKellar. So I just waited for him to get killed.

Commento di herkimer

I found that going up the steps behind the prince to drop aggro as mentioned in one of the comments worked for me (after 5 attempts). There is a "cloud" behind the prince which looks like a spark. I had to keep throwing and picking up until he decided to pick-up the "cloud".

Any stop you make has to be by a "cloud" since you never lose aggro and the adds just keep coming.

Prepare to waste an enormous amount of time on this. Good luck.

Commento di teslalearned

Terrible. Utter waste of time. I hate this quest more than any other. This, and one other Zuldrak quests. WOW software engineers seriously need to rework this one.

Commento di mackeffect

This is easily the worst quest in the entirety of WoW. It is designed with the intelligence and elegance of an inbred, brain-dead murloc. Your vision is incredibly impaired throughout the whole quest. Despite being a giant, you can't jump over objects any larger than a beetle, which is infuriating considering the entire area is littered with gigantic thorns, walls, rubble and siege weaponry. The aggro radius is roughly the size of Jupiter's orbit. When you have finally maneuvered through the maze of deceptively avoidable miniscule objects, you have to kill Prince whogivesanorcsgreenballs in order to spawn Thrym (despite the fact that you'd be hard pressed NOT to run into him in every previous/subsequent mission in the area). By then your health is fairly low so you have to somehow figure out that you have to go and pick up storm clouds in order to heal. Luckily these storm clouds have the endearing quality of vanishing on a whim. When paired with Quasimodo the Giant's adorable tendency to pick up everything except the storm cloud you targeted, this makes for a pleasant, enjoyable evening (/sarcasm). Finally, you have to face Thrym as well as the entire population of Azeroth while getting stuck on what I can only assume is microscopic bacterium, taking more damage than an afternoon dip in the planet core. To make matters worse, if you flee in order to find a thunder cloud (who decide that now is the best time to take a holiday), then Thrym disappears and you have to go through the entire experience of killing prince gnomegenitals all over again, only to suffer the same problems.

I haven't rage quit since i faced Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts when I was like 14 or something, but this quest resurrected that experience. If i were to compare this mission to a real life experience, I would say it was slightly worse than sawing myself in half and raping my own face.

Commento di fishB

This is definitely a waste of time at the moment.

I did this back in the day, no issues at all, apart from fight mechanics on the different bosses. Trying it again now, Gymer wouldn't pick up health orbs, and no matter what I did, I could not for the life of me get credit for killing Algar. Killed him 4 times, with different tactics, even disabled all addons just in case. No dice.

Commento di petrock

This quest sucks! I (Gymer) dies and when I went back to the cage he wasn't there. I guess I have to abandon the quest and pick it up again.

Commento di squiretoad

Killed the first four, and here comes Thrym, jumping down from this wall. I fight, getting beat, run away looking for clouds. I dismount, remount, no Thrym. So I go up to that walk where Thrym walks, go up where he was standing on the wall, and guess what? I'm now stuck, WoW disconnects! I reconnect, go back to my character, he reappears still mounted on the giant, everything locks up, and WoW disconnects! Five times.

I have a problem request in to the GMs now (from another character) to see if they can unstick me.

Commento di cUnAzeroth

REALLY! Come on Blizzard. Fix this kind of crap. Do the designers ever try out the quests? There are some messed up quests in the game (usually with some kind of "vehicle" involved) but this is by far the worst!

After 6 fails and remounting of the giant I was able by some miracle to complete this on my main toon. (I now have experienced this quest on 6 other ALTs) My first suggestion to anyone is don't worry about getting all 100 kills until after you have the other objectives completed. You will get a ton of kills just in the process of trying to take down Algar, Thrym and the Prince. Good luck. Trust me you will HATE this quest.

Here is what experience has taught me:
1 - Gymer is the giant you ride during the quest. He is going to die several times while trying to complete this quest. Don't worry about this. It happens. When he dies, you don't die with him, and he just kind of disappears along with all the seemingly endless Scourge mobs. You will auto dismount to a relatively calm area. Just get yourself back to his cage and ride him again as many times as it takes.

2 - Gymer makes all kinds of ridiculous noises even when he is NOT being attacked by anyone. Worst part is some of the noises are the same sounds when he IS being attacked. So you can not take any clues from these sounds. Combine this with the fact that you have VERY limited vision (after all you are riding a giant...seems kind of counter) it is almost anyone's guess when you are being attacked and by whom.

3 - Algar il Prescelto flies around the area under Votarus at the Reliquary of Pain. It is best to let him come to you to start the fight. I like to position Gymer around 26.0, 42.0. This area lets you keep your back toward the corner walls when you do engage him so that you don't have all the Scourge mobs coming at you from all directions. This helps but it is not a guarantee.

4 - Thrym and Principe Navarius are a package deal. Even though you will see Thrym walking along the path all the time in this area. (You really can't miss him.) He is NOWHERE to be found once you are riding Gymer. He will only appear after you kill Principe Navarius. Don't bother trying to find him on his own.

5 - At the cage once you mount Gymer go to the pathway that Thrym is otherwise always walking down. You won't find Thrym there but more importantly there is an almost total absence of scourge mobs on the path as well. Follow the pathway east the big flight of stairs. As you are facing the stairs turn to your left and go off the path, at this point is where you can now align yourself between the corner wall/stairway and Principe Navarius (he's at roughly 32.5, 63.0). He is relatively easy to kill. Once he is dead Thrym will leap off the top wall and jump down. Again as before stand your ground and let Thrym come to you so that you have you back toward the corner wall/stairway. As before this helps so that you don't have every Scourge mob surrounding you on all sides.

6 - Clouds? What clouds? Huh? (Don't bother with this nonsense. If Gymer dies just go back to his cage and ride him again.)

Again good luck for you will need it. I feel your pain. Happy Hunting!

Commento di 1472845

I am a player completely new to WoW, beginning last year. I have progressed to Wrath of the Lich King quests. So far I hadn't encountered any bugs of the epic class that I had been encountering in the original game and earlier expansions, ones that have existed since the launch of that content and deliberately left uncorrected whilst Blizzard devoted 99% of its resources to developing new content. Those are bugs that continue to exist years after being reported.

Now I've found the first comparable bug in WotLK: this quest. First, the game/server/connection failed, not once but twice in a row, each time removing me from Gymer upon restart but in the exact spot where I had been on him when the game failed, and replacing Gymer in his cage. It also untracked the quest, leading me to think at first that it had aborted me from the quest entirely. Those were certainly WTF moments, but the stupidity didn't end there; then the real bugs began to surface.

Second, Gymer consistently gets stuck on obstacles, many of which are on the ground and effectively invisible, because third one cannot see the ground immediately around Gymer unless in full first-person camera mode, which ruins the necessary field of view. Once in one of my numerous attempts, Gymer GOT STUCK on one of the little carts or vehicles surrounding Prince Navarius, completely unable to move in any direction... and unable to even jump free of the obstacle. Of course Gymer died yet again. Fourth, of course as usual you can be thwarted in the quest by other players who have also gone for a ride on Gymer and are after the same instance of Thrym as you.

These issues could have been avoided if the quest had been properly playtested by competent people not drinking the Blizzard corporate kool-aid (and assuming Blizzard would have listened and acted). That didn't happen, and in the years since Blizzard has consciously chosen not to correct or improve this quest and instead devote its 250 developers to other pursuits every day of every month of every one of those intervening years.

Worst, most anger-inducing quest that I have encountered in WotLK thus far. I really hope it's the last.

Commento di SoulsaltsMJK

For anyone still having issues killing Thrym, this was my method and seemed to work for me within about 2-3 minutes.

Go "mount" Gymer at 19.8, 56.6. Run south to the road going horizontal at 20.0, 66.5. Run east along the road until you reach the very bottom of the steps up onto the second platform, and jump over the tiny wall leading to Prince Navarius. Throw both of the NPC's standing on either side of Navarius (using "Gymer's Grab" to pick them up, and "Gymer's Throw" to throw them). Then, continuously use Gymer's energy on "Gymer's Smash" until Navarius dies***. There is a possibility that there will be a storm cloud or two right around this area. Pick them up (without dragging any NPC's) using "Gymer's Grab" and back up into the corner against the stairs and the wall Thrym jumps down from. Then use "Gymer's Smash" until Thrym dies***.

***DO NOT USE "Gymer's Roar" AT ALL! (This ability lures more NPC's to you.)

Goodluck! Hope this comment helps anyone still lost! (:

Thanks to SoulsaltsMJK 's comments. I did just like he said ( except I used all Gymers attacks, not just smash). And Thrym went down in about a minute.

Commento di Otaku0101

So I had a difficulty getting the credit for killing Algar the Chosen, so basically what you have to do is auto attack him when you start the encounter (atleast if you are a higher level like me) and then kill him. If you kill him while he is still doing his little circle around the area then you wont get the credit for killing him :)

Commento di Marchenoir

WotLK has so many terrible quests... and this is one of the worst.

Commento di Kipple

in September 2022, the quest is bugged and the Stormclouds don't heal you, so you cannot live long enough to fight Thrym.

Commento di Tarasmine

Been getting constantly DCed when riding the giant guy- like literally after a minute. It seems you have to move in small increments or move on the road- but I still got kicked off after about 20sec to a minute and a half.

No issues w/ the abilities itself or the healing, but the last guy on the dragon was very buggy- if I targeted him, and threw an npc at him, his health would reset. I had to target something near him or just be near him to knock off enough health with the throw attack, and when he "landed" and came within punching range I was finally able to do this. Blizz ofc just gave me BS excuses about how my wifi must be bad, still took me 2 damn days to do this quest. Safe to say it's still buggy as all hell as of Dragonflight.

I finished the rest of Zul'drak for Loremaster in one sitting with no DCing- and I was streaming something on the side the whole time so I KNOW this was DEFINITELY not my ethernet. Keep using the roar and the smash button, it'll attract the 0/100 mobs portion. I had to do this separate from the minibosses since I kept getting kicked off. Try to stay on the road, move VERY slowly, and go kill prince navarius first. The other giant, thrym, should walk up at that point once the prince dies, and I think I just used the first button and auto attack. I DCed like 20+ times getting the final 'boss' done alone, I was already booted right after killing thrym anyway so I had to fetch gymer again anyway and walk back to the last boss. Horrible quest...

If you're experiencing disconnect issues, try moving with your keyboard and nothing else. worked for me

Commento di afkhunter

The quest seems to work pretty well in 10.2.5, i had no disconnects and the giant's health was never an issue cause i did this without healing.
The only problem was with Algar who would reset his health after getting hit by two thrown mobs. I managed to kill him by going really close to him when he's at his lowest point in his patrol and getting aggro.
All 3 elites died in like 4-5 hits of whatever ability was bound to key 1, health only dropped like 20% during the whole quest.
The quest is indeed still required for getting loremaster.

Commento di troublmaker1

The 20th Anniversary patch for whatever reason made this quest non-completable. As of November 3rd, 2024, Algar the Chosen will not aggro. He'll just fly around in circles.

Commento di Aeolian

As of 11/16/2024 this is likely bugged, at least if you are max level trying to do this quest for Loremaster. I theorize that this is due to the smaller aggro range of max level characters trying to do low level content.

Specifically, Algar is bugged. It is considerably difficult to aggro him. Killing him by throwing corpses at him will either result in him insta-healing the damage or you not getting credit for the kill. I chased him around for 10 minutes trying to get him to aggro me while spamming my abilities. I DID eventually aggro him and kill him, but I don't know what I did to eventually attract his attention or how to recreate this. I think it must have been a combination of being close enough to him at the lowest point of his flight loop and jumping up into his aggro range. If you're doing this quest for your Loremaster achievement at max level, your mileage may vary. I might try to test this with an appropriately leveled character just to see if the quest itself is bugged, or if it's just due to the level disparity. I'd be curious to hear from other people.
