Just drop down into the Fleshworks, and you'll see the abominations that drop random body parts.

Comment by ramajuko

These guys drop the body parts. Single mobs can drop multiple parts, I got a torso and right arm from one, for example.

Comment by 176018

i actually got three of them from a single mob : P

Previous quest: Killing Two Scourge With One Skeleton

Comment by 113193

seems u can get 3 body parts from 1 mob, but that might require some luck :P

Comment by 257418

Word of caution: While I was doing this Quest there were lots of Crusaders and Ebon Knights on horseback fighting the Abominations and Geists, they had a habit of suddenly dissapearing and leaving hordes of geists/abominations suddenly all attacking me.

I found standing outside of the "main spots" and pulling the odd mob back was a safer option than trying to tag the crusaders/ebon knights mobs.

Comment by Duerma

If you are confused like I was, not having seen these guys while questing previously, go back to the area where you were burning abominations. It's phased and the corpulent horrors will be there.

Comment by 177089

Right down the hill in front of the cave where you freed Patches, 34,68

Comment by PoisonSystemX

"Damn it, Olakin, get your arse back here! There's work to be done!"

Best. Line. Ever.

Comment by 277361

While doing this quest, you can also raise your weapon skills. Get your hits on the elites that the Crusade and Ebon Knights are tanking. They take awhile to bring down and are good for a minute or so. Just watch out for adds.

Comment by Chronalis

One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg, one nod of the head keep moving...

Well, they were moving not too long ago!

Comment by Snizmar

Everyone in the group can loot the same body parts from the same mob.

Comment by Stryker666

Putting Olakin Back Together is the next quest!

Comment by 315399

ive got and On first kill and on 2 drop.

Comment by 231258

Be sure to pick up Let's Get Out of Here! while you do this.

Comment by PrimeSonic

Don't know if it was a bug, but I got all four parts off a dingle drop.

Comment by 300226

When I ran it, I went down to the platform located at 31.5,70. There were argent forces fighting there, and it made it easier to kill the abominations without pulling too much aggro from the ghouls.

Comment by 100661

Funnily enough, you don't seem to need his head to be able to revive him.

Comment by 293788

Something I noticed and thought was pretty neat. The icon for the Left Arm is a clenched bloody fist, while the Right Arm is a open calming hand.

In certain religious/philosophies there are two paths, the Left Handed path (which is traditionally considered more selfish, aggressive, evil, what not) and the Right Handed path (which is traditionally more altruistic, selfless, good, what not). Hence the icon choices.

I thought it was kinda neat on Blizzard's part to throw that in there, intentional or not.

Comment by megamech109

i have probably killed 70 odd and haven't got any pieces >:\

Comment by Maluna

You know there is a major problem with the loot system in this game when mobs are more likely to drop something else's body parts than their own.

Looking at you, boars of Westfall.

Comment by FarseerLolotea

Two questions:

Why is the Scourge using draenei parts to make abominations? And where's his head?

Comment by 412856

An absolutely hilarious quest chain. Well done, Blizz, well done

Comment by 498441

The title of this quest is a clever deviation of the saying, "He's gone to pieces," as in when someone is going crazy or has lost a loved one.

But this...

LOL.

Comment by Cinnamontea

If you're running through Northrend as a tailor, I recommend waiting a while before turning in the quest. The mobs required for the quest have a nice dropchance of frostweave - not as good as that of the Fallen Heroes by Aldur'thar, but they are closer to each other, they respawn rather quickly and the NPC's fighting in the area will do some additional damage.

I haven't farmed here as such, but if you're there doing the quest, I say it's worth staying a little longer.

Comment by Jensai

Since no one has mentioned the context of the name of this quest it is a quote from the Rocky Horror Show (The original Stage Version not the movie).

Magenta: You're lucky! I'm lucky, we're all Lucky!

Columbia: All except Eddie!

Various Shhhs

Brad: Eddie?

Magenta: The Delivery Boy.

Columbia: His delivery wasn't good enough

Riff-Raff: It seems like only yesterday since he went....

Brad: Where?

Magenta: To Pieces.

It's further referencing Eddie in the way that his body has been cut up. In both the stage and Movie versions the character is hacked up into many pieces.

Comment by Tynael

In order to gather all the remains, just kill the Abomination and Vile Creepers around.

Comment by fladj

My bagpack doesn't not contain pathetic items, Arly, but it does contain... the 4 pieces of Olakin!

Comment by GHELP0

I am not sure what I did wrong, but I did the rest of the quests leading up to this, got this quest, and Crusader Olakin was still standing next to Darkrider Arly. Even after accepting the quest, he did not seem to vanish or phase out.

Comment by TerribleAtGames

Whatever Arly is smoking, Crusader Olakin is still not being abducted per 2023 and can be found on his usual location listening to her telling us adventurers to look for his body parts.

Links

He's Gone to Pieces

Recover Olakin's Torso, Olakin's Legs, Olakin's Left Arm, and Olakin's Right Arm and bring them to Darkrider Arly at Blackwatch.

	Olakin's Torso (1)
	Olakin's Legs (1)
	Olakin's Left Arm (1)
	Olakin's Right Arm (1)

Description

With the abduction of Crusader Olakin, the Argent Crusade's forces will have no commander in the final assault on the Fleshwerks. While one crusader is the same as any other to me, the argents won't see it that way.

I hate to see us waste time chasing after this, but I have no choice. Our gallant crusader has likely been dismembered by now, and his remains used to construct abominations. Go down into the Fleshwerks, kill the corpulent horrors fighting our forces, and recover Olakin's body parts.
