Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Gorth wants you to kill Ulf the Bloodletter, Oric the Baleful and Gunnar Thorvardsson and drive the Forsaken Banner through their corpses. Slay Vrykul across the Forsaken blockade until they appear.

Objective by objective

The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.

The quest giver's words

When you've been in lots of fight like Gorth, you learn that to beat enemy good you have to make them really scared to die!

But these vrykuls not afraid. You kill one and another comes... screaming louder and with a bigger weapon than the one before.

Only thing that makes vrykuls afraid is when we kill the biggest and baddest vrykul of all.

Go fight the Winterskorn across the blockade until hero vrykuls show up! Then you kill them dead and put queen's flag on corpses. They must learn to fear!

Progress

You kill them vrykuls? They sure is tough!

Completion

You do some good killings over there. I see vrykul men fall and get stabbed with Sylvanas flag. Our side doing good!

What players recorded

Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.

Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.

  • Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route

An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.

Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Howling Fjord), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
