For this quest you're going to need to kill the various ogres in Warmaul Hill and collect 7 of their skulls. Use these Skulls at coords 28, 24 in the summoning circle to summon Gurok(it's on top fo the mountain/hill). You'll want a group of 2 or more for him.

Comment by cregor

Be forewarned, he has a nasty knockback that will knock you clear off the mountain and kill you when you finally land.

Comment by 11299

3 is enough to down him, indeed, beware of his knockback.

Rogue, Lock, Shadowpriest. No potions, just dps + vampiric embrace is enough, not a very tough fight even. Probably doable with 2. Rogue + Lock managed to down him to 2%.

Comment by Lunie

Indeed, he's soloable by druids, be careful though, as he's immune to stun effects.

Comment by 17169

Druid schmuid I solo'd this as a 66 Aff lock + Enslaved felguard legionairre from Forge Camp Hate.

They hit damn hard, Gurok really didn'jt last long. I barely had to do any dps myself.

Comment by Spindel

Killed him with a 67 Druid and Hunter. Pet tanking makes this easy, since the pet is immune to the knockback.

Comment by chaoticdreams

Easily killed with a feral druid, warlock and mage. No healing needed.

Popped a couple of HoTs on me but they weren't really necessary. Fast DPS ftw, though. Not a hard fight.

Comment by 33411

Killed him with solo with a level 70 Elemental Shammy. I just popped out an Earth Elemental Totem, Searing Totem & Wrath of Air Totem then just dps the crap out of him while healing the tank once in a while. I ran out of mana once though so I had to use a mana pot.

Comment by 22448

Easy kill for a 70 prep rogue and a warlock, rogue tanked with evastion, killed him within it (evasion).

Comment by 20928

Soloable as a warlock. Just grab a Felguard from the camps and kill him. =)

Comment by 22331

Solod as an enhancement shaman at 70. Popped Heroism and fire elemental totem (earth one was on cooldown) and chugged a super health pot. Somewhat tough but doable.

Comment by 39840

Locks get it easy. Enslave a Felguard from one of the camps, summon Gurok, DoT him and let the enslaved Felguard do the work.

Comment by 49133

Soloed this as a lvl 68 Demonology Warlock. I went up to Warmaul Hill killed some oger's to collect 7 skull's. And i cleared the path up to Gurok. And then i just went down and enslaved a Felguard at Forge Camp Hate. Took like 20 secs to kill Gurok. Easy as pie ;)

Comment by FuzzyYak

Killed him tonight - pretty easily, actually.

66 rogue, 67 mage and myself, 68 shammy.

I used my rock elemental to tank him and we laid on the damage. The elemental lasted juuust long enough. He died, but by then Gurok only had about 3k hitpoints left, so we took him down easily. He didn't do any knockbacks.

Comment by 46375

Just soloed as a 70 marks spec hunter, but I had to pop a health pot and came extremely close to dying. BM hunters should have an easier time with this.

Comment by Paegan

Indeed. He hits pretty hard (450 average on a pet with 12k armour, and crits for 1k), but he only has about 25k hp and goes down very fast.

Comment by Shikengriuber

Well you can't kit him and he is immune to root, stunt and etc.

Comment by Terodar

has a heal interrupt

Comment by 77155

Definatly NOT solo-able as a 66 hunter. Killed pet before I even managed to get him to 75%, and kiting is useless as there are too many ogres on the way out. Definatly try and get a group for this one, a healer would be useful.

Comment by 96763

Confirmed as written above easily soloable as a lvl 68 affliction lock (surprised myself :P)

Just follow the instructions above ie. collect skulls first then go and enslave an elite legionnare (felguard) from the nearest forge camp.

Mount up and run to summing circle.

Then once u summon stand against a wall next to the circle and just dps him till he's down.

Lasted no more than 30 sec for me.

Comment by Piroko

67 hunter couldn't take him solo.
Got him to 40% though, so with a 2man dps group or healer combi, it should be possible.

Comment by 8564

I actually was able to solo him as a level 70 enhance shaman. I created a Greater Earth Elemental as a tank and started to beat him down. I only had to cast a heal once on the elemental. However, Gurok never did a knock-back, dunno if it was because he was fighting an earth elemental or he never got the chance :)

Comment by 61311

I (a 69 arms warrior) did it with a 67 shadow priest and a feral druid. btw nothing will save u from when he punts u. Not a big stick, not a wall, abosolutly nothing. So listen to the wisdom of a former flying cow

Comment by 97629

Soloed him as a 70 lvl hunter with a dps pet and not tank pet.
I send the pet with bestial wrath and intimidation and then started dps it.I use trinkets and when the pet was at low health Give a distracting shot to focus on me and heal the pet.
After he hits me 3 times i feign death and he focus on pet.
He was then on 15% of health so it was easy.

Comment by 40325

Its was wery easy to kill him i kiled him whyt 67 Rogue but to take all 7 skull was Hard I know iys harder to take

Comment by Hasreem

2 Manned him with me being a lvl. 66 BM spec hunter having the owl tank and a 70 shadow priest heal. Keep mend pet up and when I pulled just be sure to have Feign Death ready.

Comment by 79784

Is it just me, or are the rewards totally not worth it for a holy pala?
Cause i did all other quests in Nagrand and i got a waaaaay better necklace of those =/
Don't know if it's worth the trouble...

Comment by 116693

Was extremely easy to solo as a 70 Enhance Shaman, just used fire elemental totem at beginning of fight while i was backed up to one of the pillars, popped heroism, shamanistic rage and my +attack power trinket. Healed myself a few times when i got around 50% HP but took around 40 seconds. Gear mostly blues and a couple greens.

Comment by 104793

I can say that this boss is soloable as a 70 hunter, but it is not an easy kill. He is immune to freezing trap, so if your pet dies your best hope is to Feign Death and hope he does not resist.

First attempt was a failure, but I discovered Gurok had remarakably low health and/or armor. Resisted my Feign Death and I died.

Second attempt proved succesful. Gurok does not despawn upon death, so if another group doesn't jump him you can get back in time to kill him again. An early Intimidation helped my pet grab aggro and I wittled him down rather quickly to 60 percent. Pulled aggro and feigned death, started wittling him down again. 20%, pulled aggro again, again feigned death. Killed without to much difficulty.

He doesn't hit particularly hard, but he does posses two moves to be worried off. Entangling Roots and a Shock style attack that hit for around 1870 on me. His Melee attacks are not particularly strong, hitting for around 800 on me, but a crit can be devetating and you have to watch for his knockback.

Comment by 94437

Do it with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9945 , http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9948 and http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9893

Comment by instar

Extremely easy to kill with a 70 elemental shaman. I'd suspect it can be done pre-70, actually. Just use your Greater Earth Elemental to tank.

Gurok did not knock the elemental back, though I don't know if that's because it is immune or if I just got lucky. The worst he did to me was entangling roots.

Gurok only has around 25,000 HP, so even with healing the elemental occasionally I finished the fight with half mana.

Comment by 144370

Tips from a 70 Feral Druid.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dethecus&n=Mute

Gurok's Melee attack - Hits for 250-400 on a Feral Tank.
Gurok's Earth Shock attack - Hits for 1350-1380
Gurok's Entangling Roots dot - Hits for 187-188

I'm unsure if my tanking set will load, but let me give some pointers on this fight. Gurok hits decently hard, but hits slow. The main form of damage is that of Earth Shock. Your life will be easily eaten alive if you don't have a large amount.

Going into the fight, I had 21537 armor (67.10% mitigation) and 15145 hp. Dodge Chance of 19.43%. The benefit of having Idol of Terror increases your dodge chance, crit chance, armor count, and attack power. The more you hit, naturally the higher the chance of it proccing.

1. Fly to the Earthen Brand.
2. You will see several pillars which look like obelisks. This is where you will tank Gurok throughout the entire fight.
3. Place a quick HoT on yourself to mitigate Gurok's initial damage.
4. Demoralizing Roar > Mangle > Lacerate x 3-5. (Maul when you have the rage, keeping Lacerate and Mangle refreshed.)
5. Hit Charm of Alacrity at 80% of your life.

By doing a simple tank and spank type of mindset, I lived with 63% life. No healing or pots were involved. Naturally, this will vary with luck, skill, or gear. Because Gurok hits slow, your dodge chance as a druid will come in handy. I mentioned Charm of Alacrity up at bullet 5... use.. this.. to your advantage.

Gurok is not extremely hard. If you can't tank this guy, have your tank in your group do a similar fight. Demoralizing Shout/Roar, build threat, place back near obelisk... tank and spank. Enjoy.

Comment by 140590

Since no one's mentioned it, these are the skulls you are looking for. Drop rate isn't the greatest.

Comment by 161888

Just soloed as a 68 feral druid with rather crap gear. Bear form, bear regeneration when full rage, then barkskin, heal up, bearform again, last stand. Finished at 200 HP, would've went easier if I had a health pot. Remember to have your back up against a pillar to avoid knockback.

Comment by sannas

Just soloed this as a 69 prot paladin, with the new 3.0 changes,
I know it's a bit higher of the level bracket than this quest is meant for, but with the new exp changes i'm halfway to 70 and still in Nagrand

My hp was 8934, 4434 mp,
using blessing of sanc. and ret aura.
Only used 1 mana pot, I also had glyph of flash of light to give a nice hot. I healed myself throughout, and used lay on hands admitadly, but no shield.

Comment by Naruaeon

Solo'd EASILY as a 65 Blood DK. lmao.

ended the fight with 100% health

Icebound fortitude+vampiric blood+death strike and your normal rotations, including necessary rune taps and your good to go.
=)

Comment by 158737

2 66 Death Knights of any spec can do this, Bounce agro with your taunt and then let the other bandage up.

Comment by mrdummy

Easy for L70 hunter. Killed him with 50% health.
Stay against one of the rocks to prevent knockback problems.

Comment by trelliema

So, just ran this as a level 80 going back to finish old quests for rep, and I ran into a problem that hunters should watch out for if they're soloing it using pet as a tank with mend pet. The knockback through my pet over one of the smaller cliffs (pet barely survived) and then followed it down, and I (stupidly) continued hitting of Gurok from above. He died sort of in the cliff, make him impossible to loot.

As a lucky side note - if something goes wrong you don't have to run back to the quest giver, you can just collect 7 new skulls and try again.

Comment by MoonLite

Tried to solo as 69 shadow priest, bad idea >_<.
Hits for about 680-890 on cloth, + 1100ish Nature Dmg from Earth Shock.
Once he start hitting me, my 6k health was gone in about 10-15 seconds.
HoT won't do much good against that kind of DPS and taking down his 25k HP before that is quite impossible.

Taking down his 25k hp by running around isn't feasible (for a giant he's quite quick, also uses entangling roots, and there's not much room to run around).

Comment by 299224

Ridiculously easy to solo as a lvl 68 DK (Blood spec) ((Didn't need to use DRW))
If you're anything less then mail, then you may want to bring a friend.

He didn't use any knockback on me which was helpful - just keep diseases on him like you would with any mob, and fire away. Death Strike every 10 seconds, to keep hp above 75% (+5% damage) Occasionally he'll use Entangling Roots, but (if your HP is that low, which it shouldn't be) Anti-Magic Shell can be used just before its casted to minimise damage.
He hit me for about 200-400 damage, normal melee, next to no crushing blows.

Took about 30 seconds to kill.

Comment by Horuk

67 Enhance Shaman, soloed him in about 30 secs
earth elemental, wolves, windfury, mana spring, shamanistic rage... ended fight with 100% hp and mana.

Comment by zariplz

Extremely easy as a 68 BM hunter - with a ferocity pet (cat), just keep mend pet up and use "Lick your Wounds" if need be. Bestial Wrath + Kill Command and DPS him down very very fast. Scorpid Sting if you don't want to waste mana on pet heals.
Simple fight, he didn't do any knockbacks on my pet. :/ Not sure if that'd be a problem if the fight were longer. Really no need to group for this.

Comment by Dalkaen

Soloed with a level 67 Protection Warrior. Would have been a lot easier if I could have charged him initially, but I still managed it. Used all my trinkets and cooldowns. I actually dropped dead right after he did... but I made it back in time to loot him.

Comment by Dragonblade7

Me lvl 66 orc dk and lvl 65 split dk owned him except on 2% he knocked my friend off the cliff but then i 1 hit him ridiculously easy we didn't lose less then 1k hp except when my friend fell.

Comment by 337197

Very easy solo as enhance shaman, just lay back to ridge, lay totems. Just used wolves didn't have to use SR or earth elemental and use maelstroms for heals, make sure to uses taunt from wolves when it is up.

Comment by Tannko

Guroks means of defense is kicking you off the mountain, what i did was put my back to all the crates (that the people are locked in on the right side) and hammered away. This prevented him from knocking me anywhere.

Comment by nowayride

His behavior can be erratic. I had problems with him evading or running behind me due to pathing issues. When he didn't try to throw me, he stood still and didn't glitch.

Solo'd pretty easy as 67 boomkin. Popped trees, barkskin, and spammed Starfire. Used a health pot when I got to 1/3 HP and that gave me the extra HP needed to down him. Finished with 50%.

Comment by ZaurenXT

This can probably be soloed by any shaman at 66+ with an Earth Elemental. As an Elemental one (Well geared, to be fair), I put it down, put on the draenei heal. Waited a few for it to get aggro, then unloaded. I never had to heal it again, I killed him before the elemental died.

The knockback CANNOT KNOCK YOUR ELEMENTAL OFF THE MOUNTAIN. This means if you are far enough back, there is zero risk of this happening to you. It will only knock it to the utmost edge, same as if you knockback something with thunderbolt or typhoon. ~700 DPS didn't pull aggro, and I didn't even wait that long.

This guy does hit like a truck, though. Take the time to heal your elemental if your DPS is low. If you can't kill it in 2 minutes, then ... I don't know what to say.

And for some added info on the knockback, it seems to be point blank. Not sure if it's AoE, but you have to be in melee range. And yes it sends you FAR. Was pretty funny to see my elemental become a football.

Comment by 337116

soloed as bm 67 hunter in greens with raid talents and ferocity pet with dps talents (the pet dies faster + bad build for leveling), no pots or any special buff
you have to know when to use the distracting shot so the pet can recover a bit while you run and disengage/deterrence/feing death and then combat again

Comment by 339122

This is soloable as a 66-67 (i'm 67 but i haven't bought spells since 64 >.<) spriest even without dispersion.

What I did was buff up: foodbuffs (20 stam), int scroll, adepts elixir. All stuff that was given to me with other quests, useful but not necessary.

Make sure you start with your PW: S up and wait for the debuff to get off of you, pop your spellpower trinket (i had the one from hellfire still), VT, VE, DP, SW:P, MB, MF spam till you can refresh your dots. Make sure to pop PW:S back up as soon as the debuff is gone, and remember to bring a health pot cause you will need it.

The secret is the positioning, because if you position yourself so that when he throws you, are thrown simply to gain some breaths and nuke him more you will succeed easily. I positioned myself so that when he would throw me i would land down bellow to the west of his summoning circle, but he would still have me on target.

It's a bit tricky but I hope it helps!

Comment by 465125

soloed as a 68 dwarf hunter was extremely easy used terokkar tablet of precision, kill command, intimidation and bestial wrath then put hunters mark on him and just used auto shot on him with my back to a pole till he was dead took about twenty seconds to kill also i had my pet on defensive

Comment by 310147

Soloed as a 66 Protection Warrior with 10% health left. Good luck people!
Edit: Make sure you position yourself with your back against something (the pillars for example). Else you risk being thrown off the cliff. Since this post I have also soloed him with my discipline priest and enhancement shaman. Neither had any problems. I'd say it's pretty safe to claim this quest soloable by most (!) classes and specs.

Comment by 18555

Easy to solo as 68 frost mage.

Summon your Water Elemental and let him stay on one side, and you stand on the other side. Then you let your WE take inital aggro and after like 2-3 secs, start nuking with Icy veins popped. Then you use Ice block to let Gurok go back to your WE. Then remove it and cast like 2-3 frostbolts again. Then you can use Invisibilty and remove all aggro from you. Then he will attack your WE again and you can nuke him down.

If needed you can just use Cold Snap and summon a new WE/use another Ice Block if hypothermia has expired.

Comment by 478010

Very easy to kill for my lvl 68 unholy dk. Easier than the Cho'War guy earlier, actually, and easier than Tusker. I just used a scroll of strength, horn of winter, and my usual rotation (plague strike-icy touch-scourge strike-death coil-blood strike) with the exception of a lot of death strikes wherever I could get them in for the health. Never got knockback.

Just solo'd as a level 67 Holy Pally, with mana pot and everything I could popped, but I did it. Very hard to solo, but it's entirely possible. Good luck.

Comment by edmeister9000

Does it seem strange to anoyone else the number of two-headed ogres that dont seem to have a skull? Shouldnt there be a chance to get two from them? or at least a better than average chance at one?

Comment by 347840

Tried soloing him as a level 69 rogue with quest greens/blues from Outland.
Was going well until he casted Earth Shock and hit me for 2k.

Splat. Dead rogue.

Comment by healingenzo

67 DK on frost (post 4.0 frost) lots of BoA. This is NOT what it once was.

Horn of Winter
Summon & turn to put my back to little mounds to avoid knockback
Summon ghoul
IT/PS/BS rotation
Obliterate when up
DC for variety

(once each I think)
Superior Healing Potion
Gift of naru
DS

got me down to 60% HP.

Bring on Northrend. The only thing that makes this interesting is anyone over 67 is probably already in Northrend unless they have a specific need for this Q.

Comment by 664415

Just soloed as a 65 Fire Mage. Used trinket "Horn of the traitor" right of the bat. First Pryo Crit and started him burning. Used Mage Armor then trinket "Talisman of Arathor" I did as much damage as quick as I could before he beat me down to 2000 health. Then I cast Mirror Image, then Ice block. Let Ice block run out so Mirror Image had agro. Used Heavy Netherweave Bandage, and Gift of Naaru. Used Mana Gem and Major Mana potion just as agro returned to me and Gurok was down to 4000. Easy finish from then.

Comment by EpidemiK

If you fail to kill him, you don't need to collect the 7 skulls again.. he'll be right there.

Comment by 144646

Just solo'd as a 67 SPriest in Heirlooms.

Absolutely obliterated him. Didn't even do it in Shadowform; Threw up PW:S just after summoning him, as soon as he was up I popped my Shadowfiend out, started laying down my DoT's; VT MB SW:P DP Mind Flay.

Use Flash Heal if you want to. That's why I wasn't in Shadowform. Keep PW:S up at all times and its easy. Did roughly 900 dps on him.

Comment by Duckalicious

I soloed this easily as a 67 Marksman Hunter with a boar pet.

Just let the pet tank, then mend pet when it gets low and use a distracting shot. When he gets to you, feign death. Easy-peasy. ;)

Comment by 766766

He p'wned my lvl 64 prot warrior...ouch. Twice over. 433 dps just isn't enough I guess...

Comment by 819632

Piece of cake for 67 arcane mage. Put mana shield, mirror image and spam arcane blast. Finished him with 80 % health.

Comment by 625768

Solo-ed it as a 68 Disc Priest. Kept PW:Shield up and dot-ed him up then ran through my damage rotation. Buffed up with food and an Intellect script and popped my Shadowfiend and spell power trinkets.

As others have mentioned, do be sure to keep your back firmly to a post or one of the ledges, I got knocked back down the path to the top of the hill accidentally on my first attempt because I apparently wasn't centered on the post I was in front of.

Wasn't too bad a fight as a priest, thanks to PW:S. Just make sure to reapply it as soon as it comes off cooldown, he hit me pretty hard the few times he managed to get one in, around 825-ish, and one crit of about 1700.

I got 12 silver and 1073 XP for the kill.

Comment by Guanyin

Luckily not every ogre has a skull, or this quest would be over too fast. Three cheers for WoW biology...

Comment by Aezephyr

66 sub rogue. I managed to live but it wasn't pretty. first, after the summoning I'm not stealthed so he has the drop on me. bleh, not good if you're a rogue. next, he kicks me off the cliff and I almost die from fall damage. potion time. then he chases after me... would you die already? okay, whew.

Comment by 892918

i killed him but when i looted him i didnt get the head...
/sighs and collects the skulls all over again

also, if you didnt loot his head the first time you killed him like me, you have to abandon the quest and re-get it if to be able to loot more skulls.

oh man disregard what i said there. if you dont get his head the first time you kill him, then you can kiss your 17,450 experience goodbye. because if the skulls are all plugged in around the circle, and gurok is dead laying on the floor, it doesnt let you loot any more skulls.

ok ok ok ive confirmed it
if you dont get his head the first time you kill him, youre SCREWED
i abandoned and re-got the quest, and when the skulls disappeared around the circle and everything was back to normal, i wasnt able to get any more skulls at all. so the moral of the story is hope to god youre not as unlucky as i am

Comment by 527880

Collect 7 of the skulls then summon Gurok at the earthen brand which is at the very top of the mountain at 29,25

Comment by Chifen

I thought it said Gurok's Head Eaten...

Comment by 999403

Solo'd this as a level 67 BM Hunter very easily, it took probably 25 seconds to take him down.

When summoned, I positioned myself against a wall where there are crates located in preparation for the knockback. (It didn't happen.)

Pet (wolf) was tanking, used Serpent Sting -> Intimidation -> Bestial Wrath -> Kill Command. Use Kill Command whenever it's available.

When Kill Command isn't available, use Arcane Shot. I didn't need to use Steady Shot to gain back focus or use Fervor, he went down fast.

Good luck!

Comment by 1014756

just soloed as a lvl 67 belf hunter and didnt even get touched so he isn't as bad as every1 says

Comment by 1014756

just soloed with a level 67 blood elf hunter and didn't even get touched so not as hard as everyone say's he is

Comment by DeliaDelilah

You're not gonna believe this one... I got my skulls and got to the circle and myself and pet , LVL52 hunter took him but heres the bummer. Never seen a corpse you simply could not get to to loot. When he died he fell off edge of cliff and was caught on the tree protruding from cliff edge. I absolutely could not get to him. Of course could not loot mounted and could not get near enough to loot from cliff edge and even walked out onto tree limb twice on diff arms of tree.Eventually died from fall from trying to get just a little closer and when i came back it was futile though i tried until finally the corpse faded and I was out my skulls and had to start over. I was worried about him using knockback to put me off the edge but did not expect him to take a last lunge of defiance.

Comment by Kozzie

summoning circle as of today is 29,25 - solo'd as a Boomkin level 66

Comment by 1113967

FYI: He can be killed soloing. Did it in about 6-7 seconds, done by my rogue.

Comment by Fluffmeister

Word of warning - if you collect the 7 skulls and summon him and another player is there, and they end up killing Gurok, you're screwed. You don't get the credit, and you have to go hunt skulls again.

Alternatively, I suppose you could just wait for someone else to summon him ;-)

This quest was totally bugged for me. Me and another player wasn't able to burn neither the Western Hut or the Large Hut. Even though I checked all the details and read through this whole thread...
When it happens, it's quite boring.

Comment by TEH6824

Has anyone else here had the issue with not getting the achievement "Throne of Elements" from the "Nagrand Slam" achievement? Even though I have completed "Gurok The Usurper" I'm not getting it for some reason, am I missing something?

Comment by Romshall

Luckily, all raptors are blind and all ogres are headless... Otherwise it would take 10 seconds to finish quests.

Another example of Blizzard's programmers missing the boat. Ok, collect 7 skulls from the Ogres in the area. Sounds reasonable enough. So, tell me, which of these Ogres are walking around with a head, and NO SKULL? Why isn't the drop rate 100% for these things? Don't they ALL have skulls?

If the programmer wanted a RNG result, they should have specified something the Ogres might not all have, such as a medallion, or a locket or something besides a skull they all have.

I've been killing ogres for 20 minutes and haven't had one single skull drop. Is this quest bugged or what? I've never done it because I've never done more then a handful of Outland quests before leveling out of the zone.

Go after the Warmaul in the caverns that lead to Cho'war. Just ran this & had like a 90% drop rate for skulls!
