This quest is quite tedious. You actually DO escort him all the way from Blackrock Stronghold to inside of Blackrock Mountain. And yes, the guy you escort walks as fast as you do when you walk slowly. Along the way, you'll be ambushed. The first time, 4 non-elite orcs, the second is 3 non-elite orcs and 2 elite dragonkin, the third is 3 Searing Drakes, and right before the end I saw another drake spawn, but he despawned immediately, so not sure about that.

Good luck if you decide to do this. It takes awhile as you have to travel a lot by foot.

Kommentar von Ritavu

This quest in its current form seems somewhat broken (although in a good way.)

The first three ambushes function as normal, and Grark will stand and wait for you to kill all the mobs that spawn (although he will ignore and not aggro any normal wandering mobs.)

But when you enter Blackrock Mountain, there are no further ambushes, and when he ends his patrol, and the NPC's spawn, there is no cutscene, and Grark topples over dead without explanation.

It does grant quest credit, though, so if you can make it into the mountain, you're home free.

I believe this quest is bugged in 3.0.2, after using the Thorium Shackles, he stood there for 10m. I moved all over the place, and eventually he said something and started moving.

It is also as Ritavu posted, the finishing event for this quest is bugged.

Kommentar von Malfious

Seems bugged like Federelli says, did exactly the same, had to wait about 5 minutes before he started moving

Some things to note:

1. Clear the room first - careful there's an elite in there that looks like the rest of him.

2. It takes about 3 minutes for him to get moving. Recommend clearing yourself a path out of the building, he'll leave by the door on the right (looking as if the entrance was behind you).

3. He wont attack or be attacked by anyone.

4. You'll meet three mobs - the first two groups have two elite and two normal humanoids. I died on the first ambush and they then stand in a square around Grark. This makes it much easier as you can pull one by one but oddly after pulling two the other two disappeared...

5. I'm a rogue so could stealth through but he does walk through a camp just before BRM which could cause some aggro issues (mobs around 57).

6. After you three defeat the third mob- non elite dragons he'll say "the worst is yet to come" but really there is no more to come. Just keep following him and after an exchange of words with some NPC's he'll drop dead (without anyone touching him) and you're done and probably very confused.

Solo'd as a 61 Demo lock and it wasnt very easy at all very very few other classes may be able to do it at early 60s but then again I have no outlands gear yet...

1. After you fight him in the room and accept the next quest, he stands there for ~3 minutes, use this time to clear your way out, I had a tough time because I just stood there wondering when he was gunna move and that made this more difficult he will move eventually.

2. Only 2 groups spawn and its the same setup 2 elites (56-58) and 2-3 normal mobs. In the 2nd group a 59 spawns but its not an elite.

3. You may not have this problem but I wasnt able to loot much or any of the mobs I aggro'd when I was walking with him. he does NOT help at all or even wait, he will just walk and be sure not to have any adds on you when the groups spawn, it makes this much worse

4. He doesnt help do anything even when the groups come, he just stood there so dont expect him too take down anyone.

I dont see this being doable to most other classes even as a demo lock with FG, I had to Fel Domination and re-summon FG during the first wave at 900~ health. Bringing one more friend would surely make this quest alot easier.

Kommentar von Shtumani

I've just finished this quest, and he didn't take longer than any other escort to start moving, had 3 encounters.

1st is 4 orcs
2nd is 2 orcs and 2 dragonkin
3rd is 3 Drakes

In BRM itself walked into an executioner and the shade of of Lexlort. He was found guilty of treason against the Horde and slain on the spot (from a 30 yard distance, but yeah).

So I probably encountered a less buggy version than most.

Kommentar von Kilzon

I had this quest and it bugged out. He didn't move for a couple of minutes so I figured I would delete and re-start. No good. My shackles are gone and I have no way to restart the quest!

So bottom line, if it bugs out, do not delete the quest because you will not be able to restart it.

Kommentar von 339190

I Agree with Kilzon.
If you happen to Fail this quest. DO NOT ABANDON IT! unless of course you have no intention of ever trying it again.
Once you abandon the quest you CAN NOT get it again.

This is the best quest in WoW, ever. Truly an epic adventure. I don't know whether my favourite part was waiting around for him to spawn, waiting for him to start walking or following him as he walked incredibly slowly to his destination. All of it was so exciting.

And if anyone is wondering how long this little trip takes (that is, after he's done the appropriate amount of stretching, said his goodbyes, gone to the toilet, turned everything off, and checked he's remembered everything he'll need to take with him) expect a trek around the ten minute mark.

Kommentar von 204878

Can anyone post the text that's supposed to be exchanged between Grark and the executioners? All I saw was:

Grark Lorkrub says: Time to make your final stand, insect.
Shadow of Lexlort says: Kneel, Grark.

Then he kneeled down and Grark died. The two NPCs both despawned, they were friendly to me the whole time.

Kommentar von Keiser

I went to do this quest, he bugged out and wouldn't move. I abandoned after about 30 seconds of him not moving, he despawned, and I charged back to the FP and flew to Kargath, got a new shackle, came back, and just as I walked into the room Grark respawned. This time when I started the quest he began walking immediately.

Per DoctorLore's request, here is the full text from NPCs in this escort. Any time there is "..." it just means there was travel time.

Grark Lorkrub says: You have come to play? Then let us play!
Grark Lorkrub submits.
Grark Lorkrub says: I know the way, insect. There is no need to prod me as if I were cattle.
Grark Lorkrub says: Surely you do not think that you will get away with this incursion. They will come for me and you shall pay for your insolence.
...
Grark Lorkrub says: RUN THEM THROUGH BROTHERS!
Grark Lorkrub says: I doubt you will be so lucky the next time you encounter my brethren.
...
Grark Lorkrub says: They come for you, fool!
Grark Lorkrub says: What do you think you accomplish from this, fool? Even now, the Blackrock armies make preparations to destroy your world.
...
Grark Lorkrub says: On darkest wing they fly. Prepare to meet your end!
Grark Lorkrub says: The worst is yet to come!
...
Grark Lorkrub laughs.
...
Grark Lorkrub says: Time to make your final stand, insect.
Shadow of Lexlort says: Grark Lorkrub, you have been charged and found guilty of treason against the Horde. How you plead is unimportant. High Executioner Nuzrak, step forward.
High Executioner Nuzrak raises his massive axe over Grark.
Shadow of Lexlort raises his hand and then lowers it.
Shadow of Lexlort says: End him...
Shadow of Lexlort says: You, soldier, report back to Kargath at once!

Strangely enough High Executioner Nuzrak is about 40 yards away from Grark when he kills him.

This quest DOES count for Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms.

Soloable as of 3.3.3. The monster packs that spawn are fairly weak, and can even be split - just keep your distance to Grark while escorting him.

Kommentar von TimeTrap

Here's a great tip to save you a lot of stress and time:

Since you don't actually have to protect this guy you can easily avoid all the "trash" mobs that get in the way. As soon as this guy starts moving take an invisibility potion and run out of the building and to your right until you reach the sharp rocks. Just wait there and he'll come walking out. After your first ambush, he starts walking again, but you can just ride ahead of him and wait for him at the beginning of the ramp leading into Blackrock mountain.

Kommentar von netnewsnow

Okay, finally got it to work this way, used the shackles on him about 7 times, and him just standing there, after 5 minutes he would just disapear... so finally I abandoned the quest, lost the shackles, but then he offered the quest again and immediatly followed. If you've been bugged and waited like quite a few 5 minutes for him to walk, try this one, seems like not everybody is affected by this bugged quest in the same way.

Kommentar von Bogrim

During the escort, there will be 3 waves of ambush. The first wave appears just as you leave the fortress area and walk up into the rocky landscape, consisting of 2 non-elite and 2 elite orcs. The second wave appears just at the foot of the bridge up to blackrock mountain, consisting of 2 non-elite dragons and 2 elite orcs. The third wave will appear on the middle of the bridge, consisting of 3 non-elite dragons.

You will fail the escort if you get out of a certain range. Death does not fail you, but releasing to a graveyard beyond the range will. Surprisingly, if you die at the first ambush you will not fail the quest as the graveyard is close enough.

A good strategy to deal with the ambushes is to stay mounted and far behind the escort. The mobs will not target you, merely surround the escort. If you are far enough behind, you will not aggro them initially and the escort will just stand and wait until the mobs have been defeated. The advantage in this is that you can split the mob into two by pulling. The first wave is linked two and two, elite and non-elite. The second wave is linked two and two as well, but opposite (non-elite + non-elite and elite + elite). The third wave is not linked at all, however the dragons come at a periodic rate so if you are fast to pull you can separate them anyway.

The most difficult part of the quest is getting out of the fort. You should clear the way before engaging the escort in combat, as once he begins to walk he will not wait even if you engage in combat. This can result in having to deal with 4-5 mobs to keep up with the escort, unless you have very high damage. As soon as you get outside, you should mount up and just outrun the mobs, since the escort does not engage in battle with them.

I completed this quest solo as a level 57 Protection Paladin, I imagine many other tank and damage dealing classes can as well.

Kommentar von Schadow

as of 3.3, you still have to wait for 3-5 min.

Kommentar von triface

Make sure to kill every mob in the ambushes (Or at least, the first ambush.).

During the first ambush, there were 4 mobs. I killed 3, without realizing there's another one that didn't aggro (Did this at level 80 for Loremaster.). I waited around for 5 minutes, wondering why he isn't moving, before noticing the fourth mob. I killed it, and Grark starts moving again.

It also seems that, if, for whatever reason you need to move away from your computer while the escort is in progress, you can 'pause' it by quickly moving out of aggro range of the ambushes before they occur (Grark speaks shortly before the ambushes occur.). I'm not sure for how long you can do this, but I still think it would be handy for any emergencies.

Like, say, your cat spills water all over your keyboard.
