This is a pretty easy quest though it has some annoying parts. First, if you haven't been to Halgrind (which you have by now) its north of New Agamand noted on the map in a dark green oval-shaped area. Walk in there, use the item and round up some of the humanoids, the idea is you need to kill 20 of them with this abom.

BE SURE NOT TO KILL THE MOBS TOO FAR AWAY FROM WHERE YOU'RE STANDING - or you won't get quest credit. Normal quest credit ranges apply here, make sure you're abom isn't too far away. Anyway, after you have them rounded up (probably good to go with 3-4 per round) you'll use your first ability on your pet bar (Looks like a poison). This causes an explosion and your abom is now dead, so you must resummon him, however - all the adds you rounded up are exterminated.

Enjoy!

How long does this guy stay summoned? I happen to know of a few people who plan to never turn the quest in and just keep the abomination pet (these same people have been campaigning for quite some time now for an abomination pet) Naturally, these people would be happier if the abomination stayed summoned for, say, an hour or two vs. 30 seconds. (all right, I plan to keep the pet too, lol)

Comment by Mumpley

It lasts 5 minutes and you must be in Halgrind to use it.

So it'd be pretty useless to not turn in the quest. Unless you would like to go to Halgrind every now and again and scare the jeebers out of Alliance Players.

I know when I was doing this quest a few Allies ran around on their mount boggled.

Comment by 65239

As of last patch, mobs go in evade mode all the time, making it impossible to round up a lot of mobs for a big explosion. :(

Comment by 204878

You can get kills off vrykul that have gone grey, so don't try and round up too many if you see someone else in the area or they could steal them all off you. Still a very fun quest.

Comment by faab007

I was doing this quest, but I was unable to press the skills very frustrating! I managed to explode a few times but that took ages, glad there were other people around also on the quest. I have no idea why I could not press any skills

Comment by Returner99

This quest appeared glitched to me. I rounded up three-four mobs, before I decided that there weren't enough mobs around to run further, so I just spammed the explosion. However, as I kept spamming it, it kept exploding, and I could control it untill I finally stopped.

Every time it exploded, I got credit. So I only had to spend 2 seconds after rounding up the mobs before I had completed the whole thing. It will surely be fixed soon

Comment by fl1prox

If you have bartender4 it could be the problem, or some other addon. It conflicts with the interface for some reason, but if you turn off your addons it will work. :) Good luck.

Comment by BrokeBastid

i also had problems getting it to work but i just logged out and turned addons off (running Quest Helper, Cartographer, and Necrosis) then it worked fine

Comment by 107517

if you use a bar addon, the explosion should appear on "bar 1".

Comment by 232011

If you have bartender 4 make sure you turn thew addon off while doing this quest or you cant see the abom's abilities... alot of the starting DK quests did this too.

Comment by 201261

:) this quest is the most fun i have had in ages

Comment by 289145

I had the same problem as others not being able to activate any of the abomination's abilities, so I disabled my bar mod (Dominos) and was able to do the quest. However, when I logged out after completing the quest to turn my Dominos back on, it said I had only done 16/20 kills. So I had to log out again, disable and run the quest again for those 4 it cheated me out of.

I recommend turning the quest in before re-enabling your bar mod.

Comment by fakeuser

If you have problem with the pet bar of the abomination, just type (or create a macro with)

/Cast Plagued Blood Explosion

Comment by 287121

Worked fine for me. Very easy and fun quest. Just go around thunderclapping everyone in sight, and once you get 3-5 guys explode.

Comment by Omencaller

The quest text doesn't make it entirely clear, but you need to use the explode ability to get quest credit for the kills. Hacking the Vrykul down with auto-attack and Thunderclapping will not give you any quest credit.

Comment by erielhonan

I seem to have a different problem, which turned out to be a benefit.

I ran my abomination into the middle of 7 plagued dudes, assploded him, but they didn't die! But I got credit for exterminating them! And then they turned on me!

So I feigned death like a good hunter, and they went back about their business. Assembled abomination, lather, rinse, repeat two more times. Got all 20 dings in three rounds of this, but strangely none of them died! Last time my feign death was still on CD so I set an explosive trap and they all died in two ticks (851-1152 HP each) when they came to attack me.

Not as annoying as a lot of people report with button clicking issues, but ridiculously easy for an end-of-chain quest, and buggy in that the mobs don't die from the exploding abomination.

Comment by 301268

Quest was bugged when I did it this evening. When I transformed the first time, there were 3 mobs, when I used the first skill, my questhelper said I killed 18 already, so I found 2 more, and I was done! :)

Comment by blupache

I've done the quest with four characters so far. Paladin, Shaman, Warlock & Hunter.

Worked perfectly on the first three - paladin, shaman & warlock. Pretty sure I didn't even dismiss pets on the Warlock. And I have *not* updated/changed any addons since I did it on my Shaman & Warlock.. (I typically only swap addons every 3 months or so & have a folder dated to record when I swap 'em ;) ... sad.. but hey =) ).

But on my Hunter... I get the bug people're talking about above - could use buttons first time through, but can't use buttons any try after. In short, I just can't make the damn thing work, no matter what I try.

IMO this is bugged on Bliz's end & quite possibly class-dependant bugged.

Edit: Just did it on a DK. Still haven't changed addons. Worked perfectly. Which suggests to me that the quest really doesn't work perfectly & is potentially bugged.

Comment by 319255

Easy quest.
Run up to halgrind and stand close to the center. there should be around 10 Plauged vrykul there. use the ambomination Before you run in yourself, as it cant be assembled in combat.

Thunderclap, and explode, your half way there. wait a min, and repeat!
25150 exp at level 70, 9 gold 40 silver and i chose the plate to vendor :)

Comment by 58442

This quest seems to be bugged for me, to my own benefit. After doing 4 the hard way, I learned I could simply spam the "1" key next to a single mob and finish the entire quest off that alone.

Comment by 81639

Bugged for me aswell. Rounded up about 10 at a time, blew them up. I got credit for the exterminations but the mobs stayed alive tho the quest itself said I've killed them. After that, they ran for my toon. Wasnt a problem to kill them off (ONCE AGAIN!) tho. Annoying as hell. Addons wasnt the prob as I did it with the original UI leveling an alt.

Comment by Eirwen

I didn't have any trouble with it, and I have QuestHelper, Cartographer, and Auctioneer. You just have to make sure you aren't in combat.

This was the most fun I've had since the mechanical Yeti quest in Everlook. :) I ran after some Alliance punks just for the hell of it. Bwahahaha...

Comment by 146819

If you go around to the southern edge of Halgrind, there's a spot where you can jump onto the roof of one of the buildings (use an epic mount). If you summon from there, the Vrykul that don't die from being hit (meaning all of them... you'd think if they were "exterminated" that they'd just die right away) can't get to you.

Comment by Prohealer

This quest was bugged for me as well, at first I wasn't able to thunderclap but when i gathered up my mobs, it wouldnt let me explode for awhile and when i did, the mobs stayed alive and i was still in the Abomination screen, the mobs just stayed there and i was able to explode multiple times, each time I was still getting the quest completed.

Comment by 448148

Quest worked fine for me.. and I actually enjoyed doing this quest.
You simply use your abomination assembly kit.. walk up to the dragonflayers.. and kill them by blowing yourself up.
Very simple.. kinda gross in a way.. but fun :]

Comment by 339106

One thing I noticed with this quest

While you are controlling the abomination, you can cast buffs on it while still maintaining control of the abomination. As a priest, I was able to buff my abom with Fort and power word shield before sending him off to his death

Give it a try

Comment by 471521

I encountered a bug when doing this- If you jump after the cast is completed, but before you take control of the abomination, you'll stay floating in the air, repeating your falling animation over and over again. Very comical looking.

Comment by 234071

I would just like to point out that when you complete this quest, the questgiver says, "I could sure use some help around these parts!"

"these parts"

Classic.

Comment by 552736

I didn't feel like letting the mobs close enough to attack me, so I just stood on the cliff at 52.1,56.1 to the north of the forsaken camp, summoned my abomination, and took him off the cliff down to the plagued vykrul and exploded them. This technique is a little inefficient, because it takes a few more times summoning the abomination than you might need if you ran directly into the plagued vykrul village, but it might really help if you are a tad bit squishy.

Comment by 523301

Best. Quest. Ever.

Comment by 362997

I have a different problem.. I can kill as many mobs as I want with the abomination explode, but it doesnt count towards the quest :s

Comment by 767196

I have a different problem. my bar only has 2 items on it---control and cancel. I have been killed twice already because it wont explode. I have logged out, cancelled all my add ons and still only 2 buttons any one else have an answer for this or is it now bugged.

Comment by 806579

i had the problem where i'd round them up and the explosion wouldn't kill them, and then they'd come after me

after trying a few different things, i found that having the abom melee each one as i rounded them up, made the explosion work and get credit for it

Comment by 98874

Thunder Clap from the abomination is bugged, does not do anything.

Comment by Kusa

Seems kinda buggy as of 4.0.6

I'm a rogue, using this mob gives me the two skills I need. Plagued Blood Explotion and Thunderclap.

Thunderclap doesn't seem to do any dmg at all to the mobs, neither give them the debuff It's supposed to give. The Blood Explotion skill only kills 2-3 targets at max, making this quest way longer than it needs to be..

Comment by 401950

Thank you s1lencer, your method works. Hit each one with a melee attack and the explosion will take them out afterwards. I was having the same problems (thunderclap and explosion both doing nothing to the mobs) but this works.

Comment by Exias

Some things to note about this quest:

* controls for the abomination display via the pet bar instead of the vehicle bar. This confused me since I have that located out of the way as a Paladin and the controls are pretty small.
* mobs need to be damaged by right-click attacking them once to get kill credit. Thunderclap and aggro isn't enough to get credit.
* you can get cumulative credit over multiple pulls. there's an ordinary range limit to aggro, so pulling all 20 vrykul at once is unlikely since they will de-aggro once your abomination is out of range.

Comment by SoooWhoCares

This quest is currently bugged. What works: You can summon and directly control the NPC as character as it should be.

What doesn't work: The summoned NPC Mindless Abomination has 2 spells that don't work as they should.
Plagued Blood Explosion - Only insta-kills enemies that you haven't aggro'ed yet. In any other case the enemies will remain unharmed and start to aggro and attack you.
Thunderclap - This one currently doesn't do anything at all. No damage, no debuff, nothing. No matter how close you are to the enemy.

In short: Don't aggro anything with the controlled NPC, don't gather NPCs as the quest text suggests, just blow up the abomination in a range of 30y to the NPCs -> get credit.

Comment by Rapstah

It seems like every problem people have had with this quest for seven years now would be solved if the abomination was a vehicle and not some weird hack of the mind control system.

Comment by WoWGnGP

i made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by Acoleski

It still seems bugged as of patch 7.2.

Was leveling up my rogue and got this quest.

First time:
Pulled around 7 mobs.
Spammed the thunderclap ability which did nothing, no damage and no debuff on the enemies.
Tried the Plagued Blood Explosion and it also did nothing and I mean nothing. All that happened was that my abomination turned into a couple of ribs on the ground.
Ribs despawned and I was controlling my rogue again, used vanish as they aggroed me.

Second time:
Pulled the same 7 mobs.
Kept spamming thunderclap but same thing, no damage or debuff what so ever.
This time, having read some of the comments here I basically stod on top of my rogue and then used the Plagued Blood Explosion and I actually got credit for the 20/20 required.

Don't be to far away when using the explosion ability as it only seems to work and give credit if you're close to your character.

Comment by Jirki88

There's definitely something bugged about this. I ran around gathering up something 20+ plagued vrykul, they didn't damage me and that Thunderclap didn't even annoy them. And then, outta no-damn-where comes a Plagued Proto-Drake, immediately attacking my abomination, doing actual damage to it, and dispersing the vrykul I had collected like leaves to the wind (they reset). So I decided "meh, I'll blow it up and try again". But upon blowing it up, I got credit for a lot more vrykuls than was still in the vicinity (I was at 0/20, and it gave me credit for at least 20, cos it finished the quest)... I have no idea if it blew up the ones that hadn't yet reached their original position after the proto-drake scared them off, or if the skill had a huge area of effect, or... something else. But it sure seemed bugged, but for once it worked in my favour. Yay!

Comment by pherkier

You gotta meele hit them with the abomination, otherwise you will not get any credit from the explotion.

Comment by FrivolousFriv

Still bugged as the abilities do nothing. One way that worked for me was Attacking the targets with right-click until they are damaged, then blowing up.

Comment by infek

This quest is still absolutely #$%^ing awful in 2020.

Comment by Bowtech

A fair warning for hunters or other pet user classes: DISMISS your pet first, otherwise this won't work.

Comment by bwoody75

When my explosions weren't doing damage: I discovered that if I targeted with a right-click an enemy before my abomination was fully formed and mobile, the kill were tagged to me as a player and not the abomination... I was trying to breeze through it too fast. Once I waited, and hit with the abomination first, I could gather about 4 at a time before having to explode.

Warning: Some Assembly Required

Use the Abomination Assembly Kit in Halgrind and round up plagued Vrykul with your Mindless Abomination. Slay at least 20 and return to "Hacksaw" Jenny in New Agamand when you're done.

	Plagued Vrykul exterminated (20)

Provided item:

	Abomination Assembly Kit (1)

Description

Well, here you are! Our friend's going to be somewhat... unstable. So I suggest not putting him together until reaching Halgrind.

Once you're there, use the abomination to round up as many vrykul as you can before self-destructing.

Come back with whatever's left once you're done. I can always use more body parts!
