Broken Alliances

Kill Boss Tho'grun and bring the Sign of the Earth to Gorn in Kargath.

	Sign of the Earth

Description

From the Horde's alliance with the dragon Deathwing during the Second War, we know that two of his lieutenants, Blacklash and Hematus, were imprisoned within Lethlor Ravine far to the east. We must silence our depraved allies of old to restore honor to the Horde!

We hired Tho'grun and his band of ogre mercenaries to help us obtain the Sign of the Earth, a key needed to unlock the drakes' prison. Tho'grun betrayed us though, overwhelming us and taking it for himself. Go to Camp Boff and take it back!

Quest is easy, he roams with a group of 5-6. He will be walking in the back of the group with a lvl 36. The easiest way to kill him is wait for him to get to coords: (42, 51). This way there will be no other adds. Let the group walk by then tag him, no other adds will come but the lvl 36 and Tho'grun. Kill the lvl 36 first then Kill Tho'grun makes fight much easier since the lvl 36 is a caster and hits pretty good.

Make sure you have Soulstone and Healstone (or potions) before this:

Lurked around Camp Boff (62,72).&nbsp Killed off the 3 regular ogres, then hung back in the cliffs.&nbsp They rezzed, I killed 'em again, then hung back.&nbsp After awhile the Boss appeared along with several guards (4-5?) I sent in my Voidwalker on one of the guards, then I went to work on just the Boss from a safe distance. Dot'd him, and repeatedly Immolated him, which drew him away from the others.&nbsp Eventually VW dies, then all the others come help the boss.&nbsp Need to healstone here.&nbsp Boss dies right before I did, which is fine.&nbsp Guards went on there way back to camp, I soulstoned right next to boss-corpse, looted the 'sign of the earth', and rode off into the sunset, heheh.

I rode around anti-clockwise and found the boss near the forge. As indicated in other posts, you can pull Tho'grun from behind (!) and the other ogres keep on going, leaving you to tackle Tho'grun and his minion. As a lvl 41 priest, I had no trouble taking them both out with plenty of health and mana left :)

He does have a midget bodyguard that's 36 right next to him.
What you do is, you use distract, and make sure you ONLY distract him and his little body guard.
While those two are distracted, the other higher levels keep walking.
Instead of having to take down a group of 6 or so, you only have two to fight.
Right before distract is finished, attack him!

I did this at 41, but could be done lower. Hope it helps.

Hes lvl 42, rolls with 5-6 other guys, but if you wait and follow them, the boss lingers back enough to pull him with out aggro'n the rest.

The best tip is dont attack when they are all clumped up...wait till they decide to go for a walk...let them stroll along a bit an they begin to seperate.&nbsp If you attack from the back of them, you should only have to fight the lvl 37 mystic and the boss which arent that tough.&nbsp Do watch out for wandering wolves and buzzard that get invovled in all the melee.

I did this as a level 48 hunter
I was picking up the quest for the buzzard bites from Rigglefuzz, and was ambushed by the whole party. i let my cat take a few of them but had about 3 going after me.
I ended up having to use one greater healing potion and feign 2 times.I ended up killing them all with only 80 health left.

It was funny the npc's didnt help, but during the fight a vulture wandered near them and they killed THAT.

He roams with a band of 5 I cleared out the ones at the camp at 62,72 and waiting for them to show, when they turned and left the boss is in the back and was able to pull just him and one other instead of all 5.

Had this problem first time i killed the boss.

You MUST find Camp Boff before killing the boss, otherwise you can't loot him.

The quest was very easy, just do as previous post say, pull boss from behind.

Next parts of the quest line are a different matter though.

Advise to any doing this quest:
Don't attack him in the camp! You'll pull all his guards and quite possibly the other Ogres in the camp. Wait until he starts to move again if he's in the camp, and the guards will go ahead of him. You can drop Tho'Grun without even pulling another guy easy.

And also, for those using a targeting macro (macro that has /target name, used to find wanderers) or running around using the /target chat command, don't type Tho'Grun because you won't get him. You need to type Boss Tho'Grun :)

Hope this helps.

He and his crew spawn at Camp Boff at loc 63,63. They then walk in a clock-wise rotation. See thottbot for the path they walk. They stop for awhile at an ogre camp at around loc 24,52. I was able to kill the boss without having to fight the whole crew. I waited for them to start walking and the Boss lags behind in the back. I fired on him with a gun and just him and a small runt mage came off the pack to attack me. Everyone else kept walking. I soloed the level 41 boss and 42 mage. I am a level 43 hunter.

Quite easy quest since you can only pull Tho'grun with the little guy behind him while the rest of the group doesn't give a damn that you're killing their leader.

Wow!

Could this guy be more of a chump? After reading the posts here I thought there might be a challenge. Talk of sheeping, running, etc...

41 Troll Shammy, hit Tho'grun as he was walking behind his group. The mage came with him. Dropped Tho'grun, then the mage. Was maybe down to 60% health and 40% mana. I'm not even that well equipped either. Whats the challenge here?

Not trying to sound cocky or anything (just read what I just wrote) but people.... don't stress.

I read the quest and it says to get the thing back from Camp Boff. Netguy here provided the loc but you can find it easily while traveling through the badlands. So I waited for a year or two and then they spawned. Not very descriptive this quest it. The wasn't that hard for a lvl 41 lock, but it is hard to seperate him from his group. Lost my patience peeling them one by one and got voidwalker to get their attention while I was smacking from afar. Sacrificed voidwalker and killed the guy, run a bit, came back and collected the prize. Yes it's not so hard but also not that easy.

As a 40ish rogue, I used distract to stop him and separate him from the rest of his party. Easy to take down solo.

To find him, I suggest you mount up and follow his path clockwise. Since he goes counter-clockwise, you're bound to bump into him.

When I found him he was surrounded by like gazillion ogres so I just sighed and moved on to mining gold veins in the area. I went around the hill and he was there with his whole group. I cast CoA on him and only he came! Even the tiny ogre didnt come at me! So as you may guess it was piece of cake. Soloed as lvl 41 lock.

Soloed him accidentally as a level 39 warlock, without the quest and half down on mana (fear kite on the mage worked wonders). He dropped easily when I got the quest and did it at level 40. Make sure you let the front of the procession pass by before pulling him.

The hardest part about this quest is finding him.

I killed him solo at lvl 39 - as a hunter.
The way to do it:

Pet in prowl mode
Aimed shot
Multi
Freeze trap
Run away and take I all over again.

When he finaly made it to me I scattershot him - wingcliped him (to avoid getting hit), ran away while shooting. At the end I hit him once with my Ravager axe (wich triggered it's "chance to hit" - trowing me into a whirlwind of death :P) - and that was the end of him :) - hit did'nt hit me once :D

Confirmed as a level 40 rogue- that you can stealth In on the named mob when he is at the back of the pack and distract him. Even if the midget ogre comes with him you can sap the named named the other just leaves- easy as pie to kill Tho'grun when he is alone.

I'm not sure if it has been changed, but when I did the quest today the boss was in amongst the group of four ogres, and not lagging behind with the little guy.

Level 41 Bloodelf Warlock, soloed.

When he passed Rigglefuzz's camp, I waited until he was at the back, and then cast Corruption on him. Only after that, when he came running back by himself, did I set my voidwalker on him.

Piece of cake.

I managed to only distract the Boss, if you wait long enough the midget shaman doesn't aggro either. Atleast, he didnt aggro me (44 rogue)
