Just have to hit the mobs, maybe do ~2% damage to them.

Head Southwest of Ceristrasz to 73, 50 and wait for the next wave to come.

Comment by dipiddy

The Ghouls will spawn when you see a bunch of Conscripts run in. Follow them, tag Ghouls, win.

Comment by Zefyrus

Captain Iskandar is trying to hold the 2 passes (East and Southeast) from the Scourge. He has a group of conscripts with him and moves from one pass to the other every ~2-3 mins of battle.
So, what you have to do is:
1) Locate the Captain, he's either on the East or the Southeast pass.
2) Stand between the conscripts and tag as many mobs you can. Don't get to aggressive though, abominations hit somewhat hard.
GL!

Tip: Follow Captain Iskandar arround and you will get many spawns and easily do your quest :)

Comment by 49966

Use an AoE ability once. Then just leave it to the guards. You'll get credit.

Comment by 235651

I had to go to the horde side to get the ghouls, only bad part is you need to fight the horde to but as long as you leave before everything is dead the horde stays busy with the attackers

Comment by 249017

thanks for all these comments. The frigid ghouls will attack in big groups and there are alot of the other guys u need around there too.

Comment by 75933

Don't make the same mistake I did. I kept wondering why I was not getting credit for any of the kills. I mistakenly used and was trying to kill them with a pet dragon. THIS DOES NOT WORK. You simply follow "Captain Iskandar" (while on the ground) and tag as many mobs as you can before his party kills them.

Hope this helps someone.

Comment by 117122

go to the cords 52,46 if you seach for the Ghouls.

Comment by 269051

There is a group following Captain Iskandar, the ghouls respawn is made at them, just follow them

Comment by 196022

The Ghouls showed up for me twice and in a half hour I was at 4 ghoul kills out of the 12. It is an annoying quest, but it's worth it in XP. GL :)

edit: at one point in time (just now actually) I saw in the distance a fight happening in the Ruby Dragonshire, I moved toward it, and wouldn't ya know...4 Ghouls for me to kill :) Since some conscripts move into Ruby Dragonshire more mobs will show up there everyonce in a while. Keep checking, and happy hunting :)

Comment by 111929

EASY enough to do (for a feral druid - hurricane!). Just follow Captain Iskandar from either of the caverns enterence to the other (East or Southeast); There, all the mobs you need to kill will spawn - wait for a second or two and aoe (if you have it). The Frigid Gouls spawn coming out of the ground like DK's pet ghouls do when the captain comes. Remember to follow the captain around!

Comment by 4324

Follow the captain. The ghouls spawn under the guard patrols as they move. If you're chasing the Captain and all of a sudden the whole herd grinds to a halt, get ready. There are going to be ghouls (maybe even multiple waves) of them shortly!

Comment by 143336

Find Captain Iskander either at 51.0, 52.4 or at 52.7, 46.3 and hit as many mobs as you can and him and his people will kill them. I was pulling aggro so I just resorted to white damage.

Comment by 308702

when you go to kill the Frigid Abomination Attacker, pull him back to where the other elites are to help you.

Comment by 343450

I had some trouble with this quest... All the required mobs EXCEPT the ghouls showed up about every 30 seconds. The ghouls on the other hand spawned about every 5 minutes! I wouldn't mind if all these kills gave EXP but since the dragon and defender NPC's are doing most of the damage, you do not get exp for MOST of the kills.

Don't forget, if you are having trouble killing stuff, just pull the mobs back to the NPC's and let them do all the work, all you have to do is his hit the required mobs once.

Comment by 361153

theres a bug with this quest.. i killed like 20 over ghoul attackers that spawned but they were never added to my count of kills in the quest..

Comment by 258495

Quest is a bit time consuming but well worth it! when u are trying to kill Frigid Ghoul Attacker its going to take a few mins to get the 12 of them, but to be able to find them 51,52. there's a few different waves the one wave that i found that has the most of them is the last one where u run down the valley to the end and there a large battle. Have fun Good Luck!

Comment by Haxan

I had to go to the horde side of this quest to complete it. Where the horde do this quest, a lot of ghouls spawn all the time. Blizzard should fix this so that the alliance also get as many ghouls as the horde.

Comment by Tertius

A tip for pure casters, i.e. mages. Don't bother trying to target the geist attackers when they first spawn in the middle of captain's group. He and his guys will usually knock them off too quickly for you to get credit. There are secondary spawns of 1 or 2 geists that pop up a few seconds later that will immediately make right for you. Ironically, they pop up behind the captains group pretty much where his casters (you) would be standing.

Comment by 247105

That captain no longer exists, I don't know if its bugged or what, but I know he is nowhere to be found nor or these retarded ghouls, this is the most annoying quest ever

Comment by 452312

I had no problem this evening. Did need to follow the Captain to get ghouls spawned.

Comment by 101604

To all the people complaining about ghouls, try actually participating in the battle instead of being a coward and letting the NPCs do the work for you. The intention is that you protect the NPCs so that they can make a push all the way into the dragonshrine. Once there, there will be plenty of waves of ghouls. If you let the NPCs flounder up the top, all you will get is geists and maybe the occasional ghoul wave.

Comment by 314118

Once you complete the quest, you can turn it in. Don't pay too much attention to the captains talking. I helped him "push them back!" which i had n opoint because i was done with the quest.. so ye

Comment by seanncaleb

This quest has to be bugged. I sat over here for 30 min and he was not there. I have been doing this quest for a long time and I still have never been able to complete it. I have been able to find the Horde captain but not the the one I need.

Comment by Siton

If you seem you're missing some mobs for this quest, just head over to the horde side.
Twice during my leveling experiences, the alliance camp had nothing while horde got wave after wave of mobs.

Problem solved ;) Depending on class of course, hunters with FD and rogues with Vanish seem to have a bit easier surviving the horde soldiers.

Comment by 708645

HUNTER'S leave your pets at home on this quest...they only aggro...then you die

Comment by 767150

I just did this quest tonight, Alliance-side, and I got so frustrated waiting for Ghouls to spawn that I ran back up the pass away from the canyon figuring I'd go do something else for a while. Lo and behold, there were probably fifteen Ghouls fighting NPCs up there, past the quest-giver. Finished the quest easily once I found them. :)

No Ghouls? Run over to Horde side, steal their ghouls. Found plenty!

Comment by djulioo

You can find the ghouls at 52.67, 46.36
/way 52.67, 46.36

Comment by Ankira13

This quest is bugged as of shadowlands prepatch. The "attacker" mobs you have to kill are one-shotted by the NPCs aiding you and there is little chance you can get any credit for killing them.

Links

Heated Battle

Aid Captain Iskandar in holding the canyons by participating in the death of 12 Frigid Ghoul Attackers, 8 Frigid Geist Attackers, and 1 Frigid Abomination Attacker.

Return to Ceristrasz once you have finished this task.

	Frigid Ghoul Attacker slain (12)
	Frigid Geist Attacker slain (8)
	Frigid Abomination Attacker slain (1)

Description

The Scourge have overrun the shrine. The shrine's keeper, Dahlia Suntouch, is nowhere to be found. The red wyrms that fell in the shrine's defense now beset us in the form of twisted skeletal emberwyrms. The situation is dire, <race>.

Captain Iskandar leads a group of your kind in stemming the flow of the Scourge out of the shrine.

Go to his aid... but please stay behind his men. The flow of Scourge is endless and I don't want to lose you in one of those scarred canyons.
