The flag (siege tower) is at 63,77

The above location worked for me. When you blow the horn, Urtak will show up and attack you. I didn't have time to stealth, as a rogue. He doesn't hit too hard, but he seems to have an absolute ton of hit points, so it's a good thing that a whole swarm of ghosts come help you kill him. Quite nice of them, really. :)

If you lack coordinates, click on Urtak in the quest above. It'll show him at the location. Look for the hunk of wood with a staircase in it.

He's gimp. Not to mention cheap, he didnt drop anything for me! No cash, nothing!

Comment by igrado

The summoning horn is an instant cast. This allows AOE spec'd characters to not have to wait to clear any surrounding Mobs before summoning Urtrak.

Urtrak had 6700 HP and uses primarily (if not exclusively) melee attacks

this is like the kinda quest thats a throw away u get lots of exp and u just have to get the first hit off on him, like 6 unyielding soldiers help u hes cake. coords are 63,77

Comment by Reversion

I just did this quest and when he died, I didn't get credit for killing him. I got the first hit on him and did damage throughout the fight and everything, but it didn't give me quest credit. The horn has a 5 minute cooldown. Quite annoying really. Submitted bug report.

Well, i did it with my lvl 58 rouge, with 3 cooldowns

Comment by OVVeN

Well, I did it with my lvl 59 rogue, without any probs or cds

Comment by eschient

I did this quest 3 times. The first 2 times I killed him but didn't get credit. Near as I can guess, I wasn't doing enough damage to get credit, like the Rexxar quest.

The third time I used the horn on the top of the tower so he spawned right on top of me. When I did it the third time, only 2 ghosts came up to assist, and I got credit for the kill.

For those without mods for coordinates it's north east of the post easily seen from twhere you exit the post.

Comment by 70108

sorry for random post but anyone know why my quest info box for wowhead isnt showing? =/ tried everything and now im stuck =[
would appreciate help...

Comment by 73568

I didnt get any ghosts like mentioned above...I blew the horn about 10-15y south of the flag tower, he spawned, came down the steps, I killed him, got credit. Im not sure why I didnt get the ghost assistance like the others....

Poster above is correct, 6700 HP and all melee attacks, went down as easily as all nearby mobs.

Comment by 76155

Well i did this quest in lvl 59 Hunter, i got no problem what so ever, a lot of "ghost mobs" will spawn you to help kil him..
I did it in first time, he die fast i got no agro of what so ever.
So GL & HF.

Comment by 85937

maybe you just have to summon him at the top of the little tower... did that and had no problems.. easy kill... ghosts help a lot

Comment by Bobblybook

I summoned him not only at the bottom of the tower, but a fair way away from the stairs and still got credit, pulled him back into some of the ghost mobs, since I was out so far they didn't automatically attack. My guess is it has something to do with the general rule that you must do >50% damage to the mob in order for it to be counted as "your kill" and get loot, and in this case, credit for the kill.

Comment by 111433

Aren't the ghosts supposed to help u? I was about 10 feet from them and the didn't do anything. Killed the mob by my self though still got credit.

Comment by 117576

What you can do is draw him back all he way to the Spinebreaker Post. Then all the guards will draw in on him, and kill him easier. I didn't know the ghost were there to help me, so I just tried to kill him myself and couldn't.
You can also use that trick for any mob that will follow you.

Comment by 111880

I just blown the horn and kick his ass no ghosts came.

Comment by SonicCow

I just used the Hord to summon him - 03/29/2007 - and 3 ghosts spawned with him.

I was able to stealth right after blowing the horn but he still saw me and took chase. The ghosts stayed at the bottom of the stairs. I ran toward the Horde camp and about halfway there Urtrak lost aggro and ran back to the top of the stairs. The 3 ghosts despawned and I killed Urtrak with no problem. About halfway through the fight he called for help but since the ghosts have despawned he didn't get any backup.

Comment by 151604

Keep in mind, the ghosts that spawn don't fight YOU, they fight HIM. So just go there, blow the horn, kick his butt with everything you got and when he's dead the ghosts will despawn. I actually had a lot of ghosts, seems random if I read other comments. Easy quest for a retri paladin.

Comment by TrollzBlood

LOTR reference? Getting the help of ghosts to help a falling city sounds like return of the king to me

Comment by 233244

This is very crazy i got to the tower and when i blow the horn the ghost atacked me and Utrak too. I died of course i m not Superman to kill every one and the ghost can t be killed becose they are NPC. Some help please.
Tnx anyway

Comment by knerf

Be sure to clear the area first :-) i blew the horn and Urtrak appeared before i could stealthed. with him came 3 ghosts who did nothing (maybe i wasnt to close to them). From the back a peon and a wolf attacked me also. I died. when i got back Urtrak was still there alone and not a problem for me as a 59 combat rogue.

Comment by 331428

don't bother with killing the bleeding peons before, the ghosts take care of 'em

Comment by Ozrek

Just a note, he spawned inside the tower for me, so he kept evading. After a couple seconds he respawned at the top and I was able to defeat him.

Comment by 915518

Flag is at 63.44 77.58. He spawns on the stairs.

Bloody Vengeance

Blow the Unyielding Battle Horn near the Alliance Banner. Kill Urtrak and then return to Althen the Historian at Spinebreaker Post.

	Urtrak slain (1)
	Unyielding Battle Horn (Provided) (1)

Description

East of here is an old destroyed Alliance siege tower. Now scavengers loot it for old nails and bits of scrap. Long ago, many Alliance warriors lost their lives at this tower and their banner was captured by Urtrak, a foul orc commander.

Blow the Unyielding battle horn near the Alliance banner. This will get the attention of Urtrak. It may also summon forth warriors who fell in battle long ago.
