Upon picking up the corpse, you'll get the quest description above. If you look northeast past the river and rocks, you can see some murlocs. If you head in that direction you will come to a lot of Murloc Huts. The body is in that direction right in the middle of the intersection between two huts. I recommend you bring a friend for this one, it's tough at level 8 or 9.

Complete Quest Text (from Rolf's corpse):

You find around the neck of the corpse a metal medallion inscribed with the words "Footman Rolf Hartford."

Comment by aridian

Easy to do as level 9 mage. Mind you that you just have to come from the right side (from the right)

Also easy as a 10 pally; these murlocs don't run away to fetch friends, so it's pretty easy to just be careful with pulls.

Rolf doesn't look like a guy he looks like a hunk of meat :P

Comment by 44017

Careful with the pulls, as a paladin, I would bubble and loot the corpse, then its every man for himself, 3 murlocs guarding the flesh, they also have a castable pot spell. Be warned.

is very easy

The dead guy is above the other dead guy where u get the quest but to the right of the island with a moat around it. the map co-ords are 79- 55.

Comment by sunsmoon

Beware of the Murloc Foragers, they use a minor healing potion. :/

Even at level eight, I still find this hard... You should go with caution, and maybe do it as a group.

Comment by 213105

Impossible to do as a lvl 8 warrior. You will have to pull 2 of them at once to get to the corpse.

Worst quest in the game IMO. In my 2 years of playing WoW, I have NEVER done this quest on my first try.

Comment by 320015

This is one of those quests that will make you bang your head on something and may make you hate WoW. The murlocs have unusually high armor and parry chance, are tough to pull one at a time, and have lots of random pats running everywhere. Approach with extreme caution, or get a group, or wait until at least level 10 before attempting.

Comment by GinjaNinja

This quest introduces the basic concept of WoW: Murlocs suck ass, like a bad porno. Except bad pornos doen claw you to death in mobs of 5.

Comment by 423526

The only reason why I hated the quest is because I was in a group and we were all dying trying to get to a chest and until someone got it no one cared about...the hunk of meat(Rolf)

Comment by Chriah

This.. Is the hardest quest ive EVER had on world of warcraft.I like the human starting zone that's where i level all my characters. I dread this quest.One wrong pull and your dead.Doing all the quests b4 this with BOA gear and still not enough to do this easy.I advise to either drop it or do it with friend, This quest doesn't belong in a starting zone.

The completion tracker lists this question as not Alliance-only. Can anyone confirm that this is NOT true?

Comment by 625232

I can confirm that this is NOT do-able for Horde. This is an Alliance only quest as it is part of a chain.

Comment by Clousy

Teehee - I remember this quest from when I first played WoW - human Mage; I HATED it. Instilled in me a fear of Murlocs that still stands today.

Just did it on my new (level 8) Paladin - went around the 'back way', killing pats as I saw them. Got to his corpse, and tried pulling a pat, and he pulled three others and I died (painfully xD) Tried again a few times, died some more. Finally decided on a 'Leeroy Jenkins' suicide approach - screw the Murlocs, run in, click the item, hit 'complete quest', accept the next one, and RUN.

Cause if you actually try and take on these guys, there's a high chance you'll get squished - at least at level 8 :)

Comment by jirovidicama

Clousy is right! i tried EVERYTHING to kill those murlocs.. until i see the comment of clousy then i decided to do the same and i just screamed LEEEROY JENKINS! and charge to the corpse... or pile of meat clicked completed and then dead.. but at least i made it

Comment by Lordplatypus

THIS IS JUST IN

The chunk of meat (rolf) is on the EDGE of the murloc village!
circle around it or ask a guildmate to get on their main and raze the village.

either way, easier.
