Now worth 8300 xp post-2.3.

To be honest, I think they went a little overboard with the nerf bat on this one. It was more like a nerf jackhammer ..... -.-

This quest is very very easy. From booty bay run up to about 31,68 when you find Mistvale Gorilla's. Clear a path through them up to 35,61 (By then you should have obtained a Gorilla Fang) then talk to Witch Doctor Unbagwa. He won't have a yellow ? above his head for some reason, but is easy to find inside his cave. Once you speak to him, you will have a gap of about 10 seconds then a Enraged Silverback Gorilla (Level 43) will attack you. After him, another gap till Konda comes, another Level 43 Gorilla. Then you will have another gap till Mokk the Savage comes up (Level 44). Kill him and loot the Heart of Mokk. Return to Booty Bay and job done.
Bearing in mind i was level 47 at the time, might be a bit harder for you. I didn't even have to heal/drink/eat throughout the quest.

[Edit]: If Witch Doctor Unbagwa or you die before Mokk is dead, you will have to re-collect the Gorilla fang and start over.

This quest can be started at level 40. You will find Fin Fizracket lying on the ground on the lowest level of Booty Bay. He is under an upturned, broken in half boat. He'll request the "Heart of Mokk", and will lead you to speak with Witch Doctor Unbagwa in Stranglethorn.

If you haven't done the "Scaring Shaky" quest yet, get it from "Sea Wolf" McKinley in Booty Bay, because that quest requires you to collect "Mistvale Giblets" from the Elder Mistvale Gorillas in the area. You will also need to collect 10 Gorilla Fangs for *Each* attempt you make at the Stranglethorn Fever quest. SO, its a good idea to stock up and kill a lot of these gorillas for the giblets and gorilla fangs.

To find these gorillas, head north from booty bay along the trail. Not far from the entrance, on the east side of the road, you should see some of the elder gorillas running around in a field. This is your home for the quest. Slaughter gorillas until you get the required number of Fangs (and giblets if you're doing that quest).

If you have a group for this quest, you only need one person to have the 10 fangs and follow the quest. The only point for everyone in the group is to get the heart of Mokk, and the only way to spawn him is to go through this veritable "gauntlet".

Witch Doctor Unbagwa can be found in a cave to the northeast of "Mistvale Valley", the place where you fight the elder gorillas. Once you click the "complete quest" button in the quest entry box, Unbagwa will begin spawning gorillas that will run up the hill at you. The first wave is 3 enraged gorillas (level 42), the second wave is 4 enraged gorillas and a named gorilla (level 43). The third, and final wave, is 5 enraged gorillas and Mokk himself (level 44). Kill Mokk the Savage, loot the heart, and you're done. Well, you'll have to kill his buddies too, but the important part is killing him and looting the heart. If you die after looting, you still win =o)

The reward for the quest is 5850 XP (at level 40-43), and a 30 armor, 4 stamina, 9 spirit cloak, called "Medicine Blanket".

You only need to kill and loot Mokk to complete the quest, so make sure to focus your fire on him for the final wave since you can still complete the quest if you die after killing him.

Between waves you have a couple seconds in which you can eat and drink. If you have a pet or ally, you can send him out to attack to give you a bit of extra time as all the gorillas will turn to attack them.

Something that I didn't notice mentioned:

If you fail this quest by letting Unbagwa die before getting to Mokk, you will have to recollect 10* gorilla fangs.

*Edit: As mentioned, since patch 2.3 you only need one gorilla fang to engage the quest even if you fail.

5850 XP at level 46, My Booty Bay reputation also "greatly increased".

just so you know if you are 2 or more doing this quest. You do NOT need 1 fang each. It is enough that one person in the group hand in 1 fang. Then the quest begins.

After several failed attempts, I managed to complete this quest solo as a level 48 hunter.&nbsp It was not easy, but I'll share some tips that I have learned (the hard way...)

I went with my wolf pet.&nbsp His dps is a bit less than an offense-centric pet, but he seems to hold focus better, as bite only fires once every 10 seconds.&nbsp This seems to give him more focus available for the all-vital growl.&nbsp He has a few more HP and AC than my cat, so I thought that he might hold up a bit better on this quest.&nbsp

First, and perhaps key to the quest, is that you HAVE to keep the witch doctor alive and chanting through TWO waves of gorillas.&nbsp It is on the third wave that Mokk spawns.&nbsp There is a named gorilla in the second wave, but the heart is dropped on the third phase.&nbsp You do NOT need an alive-and-well witchdoctor after Mokk spawns.&nbsp All you need to do is loot the heart for the completion of the quest.

The first wave wasn't too bad.&nbsp They spawn outside the cave and come rushing in.&nbsp I put my pet on them as soon as they appeared, trying to make sure he pulled as much aggro as possible.&nbsp I kept assisting him until he needed to be healed.&nbsp That, of course, produced some aggro on to me which was handled via feign death.&nbsp I managed to clear the first wave with a healthy pet, but almost no mana remaining.

Fortunately, there is a small pause before the second wave, and it spawns at a slightly greater distance from the cave than the first wave. This gave me time to drink part of a mana drink.&nbsp I went with moonberry juice, which actually recharges my mana fairly quickly (I don't need to remain seated for the entire drink phase).

I dropped the pet on the named one in the second wave.&nbsp I don't know if he was the highest level or not, but he was the first one that I targeted. I got FIVE gorillas on the second phase, and even though they were 5 levels less than me on average, that is still quite a challenge.&nbsp Again, the issue was managing mana and pet health, and taking agro when needed.&nbsp Even with decent gear, etc, my pet almost died during this round, and I was fairly beat up as well.&nbsp

That brought on the third round, which included our named friend and his all-valuable heart.&nbsp Because I no longer needed the witch-doctor's services for chanting, I went with a change of plans... (He didn't realize it, I'm sure, but he was going to help in the fight).

A quick mana potion gave me enough to heal my pet to full.&nbsp I let them come all the way into the cave, then dropped my pet on the named dude.&nbsp I then got far enough away to pepper him with arrows.&nbsp One feign was necessary to make sure I didn't have any aggro.&nbsp Once the named one fell, I hit Aspect of Cheetah, put the pet on passive, and ran!&nbsp The whole lot chased us for a while, then went back to beat-up the poor witch doctor...

This gave me enough time to re-group, heal my pet, and return to the fray.&nbsp I think the good doctor took one of them out, because there were only three left, and the doc was wailing on one of them.&nbsp I put my pet on the remaining ones long enough for me to loot and scamper.&nbsp

This was my fourth try at this darn quest, which is WAY under-rated in terms of level as far as I'm concerned.

Very easy to stop by and do while collecting the mistvale giblets for "Scaring Shaky".

The witch doctor is located in a cave at 35,60. THe cave is surrounded by huge mountains so its hard to find, but theres a road leading to it at 34,64.
Come with a Gorilla Fang!

After you hand in the quest you have to defend him against a level 42, 43 then a level 44 mob coming one at a time. Loot the last mob and you get the heart

Good Luck!
