Call to Arms

Kill 15 Boulderfist Shaman and 10 Boulderfist Lords and return to Drum Fel in the Hammerfall outpost.
  •  
Boulderfist Shaman slain (15)
  •  
Boulderfist Lord slain (10)

Description

The head of the beast is ready to be taken off... with great force, <name>. You have shown every sign that you are able to help us with this final mighty blow. The leaders of these attacks have made their lair within the ruins of Stromgarde, a glaring symbol of human frailty.

Find and slay those Boulderfist lords and their lackey shaman who would try and drive us from these lands.

You don't have to go through the front doors of the Stormgarde Keep. If you follow the outside wall on the east side, you will come to a hole in the wall at the very rear of the Keep. This opens up to a ledge right above the mobs you need to kill to finish this quest. This way you don't have to fight your way in.

at location 21,70 hole in the wall as mentioned by others i found to be the best location.&nbsp We stood ontop of the wall and pulled them one at a time, they of course can magically jump up the 20' wall to you.

For the Shamen we would hit them with a ranged attack and then ran back outside the wall and around the corner so they were forced to run up to the break in the wall.&nbsp Then we would tie into them.&nbsp 33 Warlock, 38 Rogue & 33 Hunter.&nbsp We did this with all the shamen and all the Lords.&nbsp We did have some time to wait for respawns but it was well worth it.&nbsp

We attempted going down into the courtyard to fight but the aggro circle and lack of an exit if overpowered soon showed us to go back and use our origianal method.

Side note: the 40 Elite Lords were cosistantly hitting us for between 350 & 450 damage per strike so bring potions or as a rogue keep stunning them.

Hope this helps.

Soloed as a level 40 rogue...not real easy, but never died. Stunlock is the way to go with the lords, just stick to using gouge when they zerk and kidney shot. Just be defensive with the lords, don't go tit for tat with 'em, and gouge when they zerk. And take off poisons and anything else that might add DOT so it doesn't interrupt your gouge. It might take a little longer, but you take a lot less damage, trust me. Shammies are a cake walk...cs, bs, kick, ss, ks, and unload. Be uber careful when you look for patroling patterns on the maulers. Don't be afraid to be picky when you have to. Or just do what I did, and pull/sap/assassinate maulers. A little bit o' planning will go a long way!

Bring a group for this one. The mobs are in their own section of Stromgarde, in the southwest. To find their section, head into Stromgarde and look to the right. You should see an entryway into an area full of Alliance guards. Keep moving south from that, but bear right (not up the ramp).

In the ogre area, you need to be ready for patrols as well as ogres that run when their health is low. You will see Shamans early on, but the Lords are further in. There are other elite mobs here as well, so bring food/water and friends. I recommend you find a good spot that has two or three of each mob and just farm that area for your kills. Remember that the further you go in, the more you have to kill to get out unless you hearth.

To climb the hill is very difficult, the hill you can get up is the last one before you get to the water. We thought it couldn't be done but then finally someone got up.
To get up start on left go up as far are you can then move up and to the right to the next point that you can get up then move up and to the left again.

Also it is 38 to 39 elite orges, they can be pulled one at a time if you are careful. It was a lv 52 Mage and 34 Rogue and it was still very hard.

Good Luck

The Lords are real tough. Took me a while to figure out the trick. When they go into bezerk mode or whatever (their hands glow red), you can strike and then run away to level back up some - they're very slow when in Bezerk mode. So hit em, run back, rejuice, and jump back in as he's slowly walking to you. Wiped them pretty easy after that.

For those of you using the hole in the wall at (21, 70) I suggest hugging the outside wall from the western side and following it all the way around. The eastern side is too steep to climb. I actually took a long time figuring this out.

When looking at the Keep go to the RIGHT, then HUG the wall at all times and follow it around. * It will seem like you will fall off but you won't, there will be a break in the wall, and you are in. Then follow the directions shown above for pulling lords, and others for fighting...hope this helps really easy to get in this way...

When you accept this quest to kill the Elite ogres in Stromgarde Keep, also take the quest from his wife (Korin Fel): 'The Real Threat'.

Or'Kalar (along with 4 or 5 buddies) is in the same area in Stromgarde.

Yeah, as of 2.3 they nerfed almost all elites not found in instances, it is far easier, and it is a good idea to go around through the back to kill these ogres, especially if you are a caster or hunter who has ranged attacks.

if you do decide to go around back and in through the hole, make sure not to jump into the chimney. You will get stuck and have to hearth out! I spent 10 mins getting there and my hearth was in grom'gul. Not fun!

Went in the back through the hole...be careful when you're walking around the keep though...if you fall in the water, it's game over or a long swim back to where you can get back on land and try again :(. Didn't have too much trouble as a 38 Holy Priest...just shielded.....Alot.

To get here, when you enter Stromgarde go left then go right, you should be going down an alley and should see 2 witherbark trolls. If you see Stromgarde Defenders then your in the wrong place!

When doing this quest don't take any shortcuts. Kill all patrols! because once you die, i don't care where you are. You will never find a safe place to rez.

The Lords are found in the back

next better damage dagger is coldrage dagger from rfd.(that is not a boe dagger) the +7 agi is great for an off hand dagger. decent when you don't have a few weeks to play wsg every day for the wsg rep dagger.

I was able to solo this with a lvl 36 Blood Elf paladin, though i didn't know about the hole out back, so I wasted about an hour grinding my way through from the front gates. Bring plenty of food and drink, avoid large groups. I also took care of The Real Threat while I was there. http://classicdb.ch/?quest=680

You actually have to go around the RIGHT side of Stromgard to see this. Be aware though getting up the hills right by the back entrance is extremely annoying.
