Bloodscalp Clan Heads

Bring Gan'zulah's Head and Nezzliok's Head to the bubbling cauldron at the Grom'gol Base Camp.
Gan'zulah's Head
Nezzliok's Head

Description

Yenniku was not among the heads, and I thank the Great Serpent for it. But we are no closer to finding him.

We must know the truth, and I fear that only the Bloodscalp chief and his witchdoctor know it. They are the enemies of the Darkspear tribe and will not speak freely, so we must force the truth from their dead lips!

Bring me the heads of Gan'zulah and Nezzliok the Dire and place them within this cauldron.

They are deep within Zul'Kunda. Bring their heads...we will then make them talk.

He's in the same courtyard as the other named.&nbsp As someone stated above, he doesnt seem to load until you clear the area.

When he does load, he loads by the water.&nbsp A good strat for fighting him is to use the water to your advantage.&nbsp Take out a minion and hop into the pond, repeat til it's just him.

A = Nez
B = Gan

hm... pretty easy, just kill kill kill until you reach the part where you can run straight (on the right, or up on the left... went up, killed and killed.. then walked around the edge of the place avoiding mobs... jumped in the water swam, charged into the guy that's by the throne... beat the !@#$ out of him and IntimShout asap... killed him looted and jumped in the water - freaked out cuz the witch doctors arent afraid of the water.. but, stayed alive.. eventually killed those 2 and ran straight to the ledge across from the water- charged into the middle for the other guy.. just beat him up and AE feared as soon as i could.. had to die here though, had like 8 guys on me and earthgrab totems like hell so i just used my PVP trinket looted with a shift+right click and died :P res'd and jumped of towards the beach - i made a map!

The back door is very advisable.. I soloed as a lvl 38 Shadowpriest, and when i finally found the place, i easilly took them out..

A hint is: When you can see Gan'Zulah, don't pull him like you are told to by other players. That way you wil aggro both him and the 4 lvl 37 guards. Instead you should pull the guard closest to you. That way you will only aggro Gan'Zulah and 1 guard. After that you can kill the other guards one by one. Then jump onto the platform, and from there you can see Nezzliok (about 20 meters from Gan'Zulah)

As i said real easy.

hope you can use my advise..

23.8 (Gan'zulah) Spawns near a throne and two witch doctors guarding him
23.9 (Nezzliok) Also have some guards

They seem to spawn at the same location everytime so it shouldn't be a problem to find them.

You turn in the heads at the Bubbling Cauldron(at 32.27) and once the quest is finished you can access two new quests
(Speaking with Nezzliok and Speaking with Gan'zulah) at the Bubbling Cauldron.

Rather than fight your way through what seems like a ton of trolls, you can skip to the top by going up the mountainous area on the East side of the troll ruins. There you run along the wall until it meets the mountain. Takes a few attempts sometimes but you can jump onto the wall in the corner where it meets the mountain.

Once on the wall there is a small ledge that runs along the water side of the wall. You can run along it (face the wall so you don't fall off) until you are at the DEEP water pool (not the first water you come to, it's the 2nd pool). Pick off trolls in front of Gan'zulah. Once Gan'zulah is down you only have 2 or 3 mobs to pull and then you can pull Nezzliok.

Did this quest today with my 46 Warlock. There were no other players in the troll city so I had to clear the way to them all by myself. Got to the courtyard, killed the witch doctor Nezzliok the Dire, but the chief Gan'zulah was nowhere to be seen. I suspected the quest was bugged, and while I was contemplating what to do, the chief and his two henchmen abruptly appeared. There is something wrong with him: the witch doctor popped twice before he showed up. All I can say is, if the chief isn't there, wait for him to pop.

In fact, they can be found at 23,7 and 23,9. Use the water pool to kill them, pull the mobs and swim there. Then, try to kill once at a time, trying to get out of battle with the others. It is not hard.

there is a trick to agroing just gan'zula without having to go through the whole place fighting trolls.

enter from the beach and when you get to the first wall, go up the hill to your left. go up high enpugh so that you can see ganzula's head. target him and pull. he will jump over the wall and attack you on the hill.

Tracking-
1. Gan' zulah - Strangelthorn Vale - [23.46, 8.14] / [23, 8]
2. Nezzliok - Stranglethorn Vale - [23.46, 9.47] / [23, 9]
3. Secret Path - Stranglethorn Vale - [26.32, 8.07] / [26, 8]

Once you recieve the quest head north to the river that meets Nessingwary's Camp, Head west along the lake front until the hills south open up again. Head a little west into the hills here bordering the camp and find the spot where the wall and hills meet(3.). Runn along the wall untill you reach the higher Pool of water. Gan'zulah(1.) can be pulled solo but it's tough you will usually get one add. He is on a random spawn rate, can be 5 minutes can be 45 i've seen both. Nezzliok will always pull with the shammy beside him, again very easy fight.

You can fight you way out, which is easy for most Melee, but us casters would look too running or hearthing. If you drop just west of the two quest mobs you can run past opposing force fairly easily, and then run the shore line back to Grom. Or just use the same path to get out as you got in, near the eastern edge of the upper pool you can hop back onto the ladge with ease.

Happy Hunting and safe travels!

Both coords were right for me. 23.7 for Gan'Zulah 23.9 for Nezzliok.

Didn't have a problem as a 40 Paladin. Swam up to Gan'Zulah and only pulled him and one Witch Doctor. Nezz was a bit harder, 4 mobs plus him. Managed to do it though.

Remember that he spawns in front of the THRONE against the back wall of the temple's top floor. He is on a very, very long respawn timer, so pray someone else hasn't been there before you.
Went in as a Lv 37 War with a Lv 36 Mage. You can get to him pretty easily if you hop on the wall's edge and just run past the mobs. You won't aggro until you're near Nezz. After we killed him, we hopped off the top floor's west side down to the ground, and then made our escape along the coastline via the temple's western exit.

Easy way to get both leaders: (i know that thsi is long but it will save you trouble...if you dont catch agro on the way)

1. Go to the entrance of The ruins of Zul' Kunda (27,10) ish

2. Climb up a hill on the right side of the trail that leads into the ruins

3. Once on top of the hill there will be a wall, turn right intil you cant go any further

4. There is a small hill with a tree covering part of it, go on the hill and try to jump off onto the wall ( it just looks like a ledge from the angle you will be looking at)

5. Once on the wall go right until the ledge ends

6. Next you have to walk along a very small ledge that leads into a pool with water falling down some stairs (no, you cannot just walk up the stairs they are too big)

7. Go into the pool and keep moving until you see Gan' zulah with two other mobs, i pulled him with only one mob and he was easy enough to kill

8. turn around, go back to the stairs and on the left side there is anoher ledge, walk all the way around that ledge until you see a ramp that leads down

9. go across the path and resume walking on the ledge at the very end before the first turn is Nezzliok

10. come back the way you came

This quest is very doable as lvl 39. As previously mentioned, Gan'zulah and the witch doctor both spawn on the top level of the Zuuldaia ruins. Take it slow and have patience with your pulls to make it to the top.

Once up top head North to the water. Directly West of that pool, against the North wall is Gan'zulah with two witch doctors standing next to him along with some other wandering trolls. If he isnt there but one or both of his witch doctors are, he wont spawn. You must kill both witch doctors for him to appear.

I managed to pull the wandering trolls into the little space just south of Gan'zulah between the water and the tree. I then pulled Gan and his witch doctors, taking them down one at a time.

Nezzliok stands just a lil ways south of where Gan'Zulah spawns. He has some wandering trolls near him but theyre easy to pull away, and he himself is the easier of the two trolls you've been sent to kill.

Good luck.

I almost missed the FOLLOWUP QUESTS for this.

After you put the heads in the cauldron, Kinweelay nearby says, "Ah, good <name>. You may speak now speak (game typo) to the Bloodscalp chief and his witchdoctor."

At this point, you will be able to speak to the Boiling Cauldron again, and get two new quests, "Speaking with Nezzliok", and "Speaking with Gan'zula"

Gan'zulah has a respawn timer of around 10-15 minutes in Patch 2.3.0. He's easily killed by a crowd control class and doesn't really do much damage to a level 41, as he's a 41 normal himself. He dropped Regal Boots of the Owl when I fought him.

You dont have to fight your way through the trolls to get to these bosses, and they are not difficult to fight as of 2.3.

At 26.10 you can jump from a hill onto the wall... follow the wall north til it dead-ends and there is a very small ledge running west... hop onto the ledge and carefully follow it... it ill run you smack dab into the two mobs without having to pull/fight your way through the entire mess of Zul'Kunda. You can use this ledge to get out as well. Good luck!

Gan'zulah dual wields and hits very fast/hard, as a 39 warrior in mostly greens in beserker stance he got me to about 20%, i had to pop last stand to live through his damage alone since the gaurds were already dead for some reason. nezzilok hits slower with his staff, but also hits hard. Not as hard as Gan'zulah though, got him when i was at 50%

Their both located at the most northern part of STV. You can climb over the hills to skip some pulls in the entrance

Gan'zulah's Head - Level 41spawns at 23,8 (Located right across from Nezzliok.)
Nezzliok's Head - level 40 spawns at 23,9 (Facing toawrds Gan'zulah)

They both spawn at the top. When you enter go straight until you start going down then hug the right wall and take the ramp up.
You should see a campfire and alot of mobs at the top.

Do i with:
Bloody Bone Necklaces & Bloodscalp ears(Booty Bay)

Another good way to get in if you're special like me and kept falling of the narrow ledge:

Head to the northwest corner of the temple via the beach. Kill the 2 guards at the archway, head up the path, kill the beast master and his cat, then climb the hills to your left (or north if you get turned around). You can then climb to the east, jump down on the wall, and you're right next to all the baddies you need to kill.

There are a lot of these guys, and they spawn fairly fast. I couldn't solo it as a 40 Druid. I got really close, but respawns and 2 witch doctors around Gan prevented me from getting his head. So, I did what I did with Hezrul, I went into prowl form, snuck up behind Gan, killed him, died, and when I rezzed, I got his head! lol

Soloed as lvl 38

I was able to reduce the mobs around both to just two minions each without aggroing. I then sapped one of the minions, enabled evasion, slew the boss the slew the minion. No truoble at all. Gan really is very, very weak for a lvl 41 and hardly caused any dmg on me, Nez were somewhat harder
