The tower is located at around 18, 68

Kommentar von Orik

Bring a good group with a healer and a tank. Their a lot of ogres in the tower and you'll aggro a lot of them.

Kommentar von 7799

As you work your way up the tower that will be a box on each level. After opening a box and taking the object out several mobs will spawn (3 for the first, 4 for the next, and 5 for the last).

Kommentar von 30557

Solo-able if ur a rogue. I suggest being level 40 and Imp Sap helps.
Simply sneak in, locate box, sap ogre, open her up, and vanish to avoid the numerous ogres that pop up.

The first one is the trickiest as there is two ogres that pass by it.

Funny thing is the ogres I made pop up never left as far as I know, so there is 3-5 ogres just sitting around the chests,sucks to be the group trying to do that.

As a 42 Paladin I had to zerg my way up the floors, dying next to the crates, one by one. I got it acomplished soloed after a few corpse runs. :-)

Kommentar von Alexi

I was able to solo this as a level 41 Druid, just stealth to the boxes and wait for the ogres to path away (at some of the boxes there are ogre paths), unstealth and wait for it to cooldown then shift into caster form grab the box and shift back into cat form and restealth (you don't get flagged for combat right away).

I tried the repetitive dieing approach. It worked even better than above. I bubbled standing on a raised section just diagonally across from the tower with divine shield (10s) and ran into the tower. I didn't see the first crate and ended up running past it up to the 2nd floor. At that point all the mob chasing me had given up. I accidentally aggro'd the ogre that is very near the 2nd crate (I could've avoided that if I'd been thinking faster) but by healing I was able to dispatch him without too much difficulty. Then I opened the crate and immediately ran up to the top floor. I lost all the newly spawned mob by doing that so I could immediately open the 3rd crate. At that point I tried to lose them by dropping all the way down the tower. I'm not sure how many lost but I think I still had several one me at the bottom of the tower. I didn't really try very hard to stay alive but I doubt I would have managed it if I had. So as a ghost I ran back in, found the crate I'd missed (took a bit of looking). Respawned by it, opened it immediately and then immediately ran out of the tower and bubbled as I left. That let me escape all the way to the alliance section with only the final ogre right by that section still aggroing me. Since I had plenty of mana I healed myself and killed him off (without any help from those lazy alliance soldiers I might add - they ignored the hulking great ogre in the middle of their camp!).

So one death and only 2 ogre kills (ignoring the several I killed to get near the tower) to quickly get all the items as a lvl 44 palladin is a resounding success.

i just did it as a 38 warrior...just run and die and respwan at each box....easy peasy

Kommentar von pinycone

Well I solo'd this with a 42 mage. I found theres a way to get to the tower with out any trouble. Theres a ledge that you can jump on right where you "enter" the general area where the troll berserker's are. I zerged it, ice barrier'd and frost nova'd and died 4 times but it worked. I never used the defenses because i didn't know how or where to use it >_<

Kommentar von 63352

For anyone who wants them the coords for the boxes are:
Box #1 - 18.2, 68.1 - it is off the walk way on a platform next to the wall.

Box#2 - 18.0, 67.9 - this one is next to the wall also

Box#3 - 18.2, 69.2 - again next to the wall

The boxes are very small and do not look like chests at all. When I died I just went to the next box and rez-ed at it. As a druid, at level 42, it was easy enough for me to solo; when you pop to elf form return back to cat and stealth as quickly as you can.

Kommentar von 96366

Did this as a 41 Combat Rogue.

I didnt fight any Ogres what i did was every time i past a ogre i would sap him, when i got to the Boxes i would make sure any ogres would not attack me when i came out of stealth, i un-stealthed waited untill my Stealth cool down was around half way, looted the box and re stealthed.

This for me worked as a treat hope it works for you rogues out there

Kommentar von 61979

Was able to do solo this as a 35 lock on PTR, due to all the mobs in Stromgarde being made non-elite.

Did the same run, die, rez thing as stated above; saves time to have a soulstone up so you can just rez as soon as its safe. Didn't have any difficulties with mob pats, either.

Kommentar von 100181

just a little sidenote: as you go down the ramp by the trolls entering the part with the ogres, there is a little post on the right hand sid with a kind of straw X on it, if you jump onto the ledge right by there you can cruise all the way round to the tower without the hassle of killing all the ogres on the way to it...

saves looooads of time =)

Kommentar von 89519

Update after patch 2.3. After opening each box, it seems like it'll spawn 2 ogres only. The duo always seems to be a Mauler and a shaman. Shaman always drops a fire totem.

As a rogue, have auto loot on and just stealth right after you loot. I avoided all the spawns this way.

Kommentar von Draycan

Patch 2.3 Exp upped to 4150.

Kommentar von 103926

also new in patch 2.3: the mobs are no longer elite, but there has been added several mobs on the slope up to the tower - there's now 5 where there used to be 2, so making the quest a little tricky still, but it's all in all easier, just completed it as 38 shadow priest..

Kommentar von 40642

DO NOT activate the tower defenses, it will only make the quest more difficult.

If you ignore the tower defense pedestal you will only have to fight at most two ogres at the same time as you make your way up the tower and there will be no need to corpse run.

If you want to get to the tower without having to fight the ogres, then look for the high ledge on your left as you pass under the huge archway leading to the ogre infested area. If you jump up on it you can hug the keep wall until you reach the tower without catching any aggro. This ledge will meet with the back side of the tower and form a sharp crease which you can use to get back up on the ledge again and shake any aggro if you decide to make a run out of the tower.

(If you decide to activate the tower defenses, you will attract up to six ogres at once inside the tower even with the protective elementals spawned to help you. Brilliant work by the Blizzard quest design team.)

Kommentar von 109738

after 2.3 what I did as a 39 warrior was grab the first chest and ran as best as i could to the top floor where the 3rd chest is (you can use the pathways to los the mobs a bit and buy more time to go around them and all the way up) Run back and grab the 3rd chest and immediately jump over the railing behind you and go down and grab the second chest.

Now its all about luck and getting out of there. Jump all the way down and activate shield wall or put up something to protect you (hunters can use your pets to the best advantage and shamans use your slowing totems) and go the entrance of the tower. Turn left, and left again immediately and you should see like a cauldren and a fire. There's a place where the wall meets the tower straight ahead and just wall jump (jump so you get stuck kinda between the wall and the tower) and climb up there. From there everything just evades and if you run along that wall there's a crack which you can go out of and follow all the way around to the front of Stromgarde.

This is just so you only have to die once and it saves time (not having to run back)

Kommentar von 111517

Just solo'd this as a lvl 36 fire Mage. Used the die and return method, had no problems. Just wait till the right moment, rezz, sheep if needed open box. Fight die and a quick corpse run back. Repeat at each target. Not really in the spirit of the game I guess but gets good results. lol

Kommentar von 112265

every time you open a box, a shaman and a mauler will spawn, so be prepared.

Kommentar von sirios

Soloed as 37 fire mage.Didn't die at all...i was sheeping one and killing the other.The only part i experienced a problem was in the first chest that i didn't see and i misspulled a mob i just had to use a healing pot :)

Kommentar von 113759

Level 38 druid, i stealthed into the tower, killed the first two ogrs so the first box was clear. When i got the first box, the ogrs that appeared ran straight into me whilst stealth, so i died. I ressurected right infront of the second box, opened it, got the item, died again :/ . Ress'ed on right infront of the third floor and got the item, then jumped all the way down tot he bottom, (aggroing everything) and sprinted out in cat form. Job was done.

Kommentar von 124392

Just soloed this as a 46 hunter... not very hard to say the least. With all the comments before, expected a battle royal. Missed the first box because it was kind of tucked away. no more than 3 defenders appeared once boxes open. Sicked pet on caster and mele'd the others. Going out sent pet on two lords on steps...then took out caster on path....saddled up and rode out. oh btw....hit 46 on way in...lol OH....never set the defenses...did that make a difference and make it easier??

Kommentar von 122896

This quest was very easy(39 prot pally), and gave great xp rewards from the ogres themselves, not just the quest!

Kommentar von 126070

i managed to do this quest on my 39 pali, he is quiet well geared tho.. coods are spot on and all are in the tower

Kommentar von 129703

i cant find my way to the tower :(

Kommentar von 134076

Interesting note, if you stand with your back to the wall and the chest/box in front of you, the ogres will appear, but didn't attack until I hit them first. Died twice, hit all three boxes then ported to IF, and flew back to the camp. 43 Mage.

Kommentar von 86477

i did this solo and 2 foes appeared for each box.

Kommentar von 44612

if you are unlucky like me you'll have a lvl 39 rare elite mob called ruul onestone

Kommentar von 171190

I think this will show people reading this how easy the game has become, i completed this on a lvl 38 priest, I died once, which was on purpose to save me time (getting out wihtout killing lots of mobs). I am new to the game so its not my experience that allowed me to complete it, I used the gap in the wall which has been described above, I then ran round the inside of the wall till i was at the tower, dropped down and killed a ogre, then killed the 2 guard ogres, and I was in. I also missed the first box, i killed the mobs that spawn when u open the 2nd box however just jumped from the top when I opened the 3rd, saving me time from having to fight. to get out I used shield and ran out and then back on my self till i was as close to external wall as possible, then let ogres kill me. I ran back as a ghost but stayed on the outside of the wall and res'ed. This took me less than 10 mins to complete.

Kommentar von jinxoda

Did as lvl 37 fire mage. Snuck around behind the keep, entered through crack in wall to go straight for tower. Dropped off back wall and roasted two ogres to get near summoning stone. Just to see what happened, summoned defenses and ran inside and up to second box (missed first) and died. Rez'd back on top floor across from single orge and summoned defender. Opened chest on top floor first and kept defender in the fight for spawns. Pulled ogres from floors below back up to defender and easiliy polished them off. Had problems working down to first box with one ogre resisting my sheep spell. Eventually just rez'd on top of first box, sheeped guy on stairs and died inside tower on purpose. Walked back, jumped on back wall and rez'd outside tower along back wall. Hearthed out.

Kommentar von BladeMaster0182

I don't know if this is jsut me but when I did the quest thee were 4 ogre maulers in front of the tower with an Boulderfist Lord. I couldn't get around them for obvious reasons and they were too close together to try and pull.

Kommentar von 90969

If you are druid or rogue open chest teke the item and go stelth as fast as you can you won't get attacked by mobs then.

Kommentar von 168123

Hardest part is the first chest. Each chest, after 4~5 second of having it openend, will spawn both a lord and a shaman.

Bear in mind that this is done by a level 38 Draenei warrior:

First chest, have either a healing potion (or in my case) Gift of the Naaru at the ready. Deal with the Shaman first, since he can heal. The second and third chests are alot easier. After opening the chest, walk away a quarter circle to the right. Since it's my understanding, the lord will spawn on top of you and the Shaman at the opposite side of that floor. You can easily take out the Lord and after that the Shaman.

Do not activate the tower defences. You'll be good to go.

Kommentar von 149056

Easy soloed this as level 36 frost mage

Kommentar von 86033

If you use the ledge trick and you're a warlock, consider putting your pet away until after you jump down to the tower. When I jumped, my pet took the long way around and brought six adds with him.

Kommentar von 193540

I decided to go around the outside of the fortress for this leg of the chain. As a side note, there was some mithril on the way around for all you miners. Anyway, I dropped in right by the tower and fought my way in and up the tower. Each of the chests spawned 2 ogres I had to fight. The only difference was that on the 3rd one at the top, they spawned on opposite sides and I was able to fight them individually. Pretty easily done as a 39 AOE Pally.

Kommentar von 187967

slow but sure was the battle as a lvl 43 solo warlock

Kommentar von Mydge

For my part...

I just shift+looted and ran as soon as the box opened. They didnt aggro onto me.

Just run like the clackers on your way out. Pretty simple. Only aggroed 2 of them.

Edit: 42 warrior, didnt use the gem.

Kommentar von 206964

Easy! When you go through the wall opening go left and you will find the tower. I agree with the other posts, don't activate the defenses. It's really easy quest. I solo'ed it with a level 37 Hunter. On each level of the tower will be a box. You will definatly notice it because it glitters.

Kommentar von 220618

Solo'ed as a lvl 38 hunter used the gem couldn't find the agate, seems to be bugged. There was a locked chest on the chest level, needed a special rusted key. Couldn't find the key, stayed in the area for about a half hour killing what ever came around no luck.

Kommentar von 158678

still cant find this "key" too

Kommentar von 233998

it says i need a rusty key?

Kommentar von 233998

i am a lvl 39 paladin did all by myself until the rusty key

Kommentar von 151708

I did search for a rusted key on the many sites & a jailor named Borhuin in Alterac Mtns is suppose to drop a rusted iron key 40% of the time, whether this is the key I don't know. I went over to where he was & killed him at lease 5-7 times w/no drop key. Gave up.

I spent the better part of an hour killing him and waiting for respawns before I realized why he drops the key half the time. That key is for a horde quest, to free the orc in the top back room of the inn. I suspect the jailer will never drop the key for anyone not on the quest (which means all alliance). And "Attack on the Tower" is alliance only. So, for now I'm going with "the quest is currently broken". Really wish I'd known this before wasting several hours on it.

*Edit: apparently there are a half dozen or so threads about it on the wow forums, all of them ending with a blue saying "this is a known issue, thanks" and locking the thread. So, yes, it is confirmed broken.

Kommentar von 236197

where do i find rusty prison key?

Kommentar von 232614

Yes the quest is bugged. The Second chest says you need a rusty key which you cant get as far as i know. I wonder when this will be fixed (I hope next patch). How could this possibly happen? They somehow changed so a chest needs some key by mistake? oO Weird.

I'll probably make a ticket and hear what the GM's says about it and I will come back with more info if I get any. :)

Kommentar von 228968

im working on the quest too, but it still bugged as of today.. i submitted a ticket t the gm, but no response yet..

Kommentar von KieranMac

As of today, it's been 2 weeks and 2 days since it was first reported at minimum. Hopefully it'll be fixed in tomorrow's maintenance, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Kommentar von 240265

Now that the new patch is out, has the problem been fixed? Is it the correct chest?

Appears to be fixes as of last patch! Just picked up my ember agate and handed in.

Kommentar von 232614

This quest is NOT bugged anymore in patch 3.0.3. I just checked it out and it was possible to open the chest and loot the Ember Agate without any problems.

Enjoy!

Kommentar von 118741

Went to Arathi today and did the quest. I believe it's been fixed (whether a hotfix or a fix from the most recent patch (3.0.3). The chest that was replaced with the Wrath of the Lich King quest chest has been restored back to one of Trelane's chests.

Kommentar von 159884

This quest is fixed as of 3.0.3

Kommentar von 227062

thankfully due to the last patch it is fixed and it makes it easier for all of us now!
Happy Questing!

For all the Dwarves doing this quest, trying to Track Treasure won't work on the lockbox, footlocker, etc.

Kommentar von 229237

soloed as a 36 rouge ANTI SUB, just stealthed the whole way as well as using vaniish, shadowmeld and distract, died about 7 times

Kommentar von Forgotten0ne

Just solo'd as a 33 ret pally, took forever but did it, lots of healing lol

Kommentar von 255811

I red the comments above about the ledge that leads near the tower as an easier way in and out, saw that ledge, but seemed to high to jump on it. Is there anything I am missing?

And a hint (I don't think it has been mentioned here). Whenever you open a chest, the two ogres spawn on the sides, far away from each other (approx 90 degrees left and right from the chest). So for non-stealth classes the best is to rush sideways (either way) immediately after opening the chest, this way chances are you only have to fight one ogre at a time. Staying near the chest maxes the risk to aggro both ogres depending on your level.

Kommentar von 259235

easy quest done as 41 paladin

u dont need activiate tower

just run and fight to the top

Kommentar von 274181

Hey guys with thanks to your posts and advice I managed to solo this quest with my level 35 pala :-D
I took the "i dont care if i die i can ress" approach to the quest and it worked a treat.
I didnt bother fighting any of the mobs out side of the tower i just charged straight through and got killed inside, when i returned i decided to scout through looking for the boxes which led me to the top floor where only one lvl 39 ogre was hanging about no where near the box so i ressed, healed and killed the ogre and grabbed the orb out of the box lol.
I ran down to the second level killed a brute and a spell caster then grabbed the second item but then i dropped off the edge and aggro'd a lvl 40 and 2 other ogre's i managed to kill the guard that was patrolling the floor (i was lucky lol) then got killed after trying to kill the spell caster so i ran back ressed and simply grabbed the last item bubbled and stormed out of the tower running for my life i got caught and killed for for the third time lol but after that i had no troubles escaping and managed to get back to the quest giver and recieved my well deserved XPs.
If you are a low level like me i would suggest trying to complete the quest this way :-D

Kommentar von mbroooks

No longer bugged, completed it successfully on December 18.

Kommentar von 304428

775 rep with ironforge for this chain pretty good

Kommentar von 331326

The tower in question is inside Stromgarde up the ramp, where you found the shaman for Trelane's Defenses. I would NOT suggest activating the crystals defenses as 6 ogres appear and will pwn you if you cant handle them. Regardless of if you USE the crystal or not you will still complete the quest if you gather all of the items which are on each tier. Two ogres will spawn a few seconds after each box has been looted. This was a simple quest which i soloed as a lvl 38 ret pally.

Note- There is also an opening in the wall of the keep near the rear, you can get to it from either side but going clockwise you have more ledge to work with if you dont want the extra xp and such.

Kommentar von ChivalrysGhost

The defense is fine to activate. it summons several water elementals. as a 39 pally i used and made it to each of the 3 chests without taking much aggro at all. Just ignore the mobs and run

Kommentar von ritmix

just use a pala he pwns al the mobs easely and needs no skill :p

Kommentar von 353718

I walked the outside of the wall, and then the ledge inside the wall. Sacrificed the VW to get me to the top lvl. Died, Soul Stone'd on the top lvl of the tower and worked my way down. lvl 39 Human Warlock, healthstone, "every man for himself" and Soul Link used, along with spamming DoTs and Drain Life

Kommentar von 220271

Liches keep their souls inside a phylactery to prevent themselves from permanently dying. Why do I get the feeling there is something more to this quest?

Kommentar von 130470

Piece of cake!

As a level 37 rogue, just stealth in past the ogres (into the keep's main gates, hang a right, hang a left...you'll see ogres), maybe sap one or two just for grins and ease of passage. Go to the tower, activate the defenses, stealth to each level's chest, auto-loot when opening, stealth immediately. You're done! That's it! Never fought even one ogre!

I did get lucky by the pedestal to activate the defenses...somone had killed the two top-most ogres near it, but it still wouldn't have been a big issue.

Don't worry about all the ledge crawling reported in other posts if you're a rogue.

Cheers!

Kommentar von 176707

Do NOT activate the tower defenses. They are a total red herring. You will have to deal with three times as many mobs, and the "defense" water elementals attract absolutely no aggro and only last about 15 seconds before they die and every mob within 200 yards trains itself right onto you.

This really is a terrible, terrible quest. I can't even imagine what the quest design team was thinking when they wrote it.

Kommentar von Mascotte

Its worth to note that while the mobs outside the tower are lvl40 the ones that spawn inside are 38-39.

And while the mobs at the first crate instantly aggro you the ones at the other 2 crates dont, they just start patrolling the floor.
Just work your way up the tower and ignore the quest mechanic thingy entirely.

Kommentar von 254684

Finally used this item to clear out bank space.
Using it on the pedestal to the right of the tower stairs spawned two level 38 Summoned Guardian water elementals ("the tower's defenses") on the hill to the tower, along with 4-5 ogres. Another 3 or so elementals spawned inside and engaged the ogres there. I don't think activating the defenses spawns more ogres inside.

Kommentar von 110266

Stupid comment but...

The boxes are inside the tower and not outside in random locations throughout the ogre area, which Questhelper seems to believe.

/confused gnome who wandered around the ogre area for 10 min looking for chests.

Kommentar von 12035

Here is a little tip on how to do the quest and save a ton of time.

Right as you get to the ogres (the slope) to the right is a little ledge sort of a balcony, and with your mount you can jump on it and just ride along the edge of where the ogres are, and you wont agro a single one of them since youll be on top of the area of the ogres, go ride to the right to the north side of the tower and jump down, do whatever the quests asks you to do and jump back on the slope thats the closest to the edge and do the same thing.

Saved me a ton of time hope i could explain myself. =)
