Hail to the King, Baby

I am thinking Gruul is going to be a little pissed after I killed all his sons. These are the starting quests in the Ogri'la chain, that lead to doing a couple Daily quests. Once you have hit level 70, V'eru will have a quest to go talk to an ogre in the Lower City of Shattrath. His name is Grok, and he is sitting near the merchants. He asks for your help, and sends you to talk to Mog'dorg the Wizened in the Blade's Edge Mountains.

Now you get the three quests to kill Sons of Gruul, and take something of value from each of them. Once my group had formed, we met up in Shattrath because the Gronn, Slaag, hangs out in the Barrier Hills above the city. One of our party memebers didn't have a flying mount yet, so we were forced to four man this one. He was tough, but I had great healing. We grabbed his standard and heading to Blade's Edge to kill the next two. Grulloc and Maggoc were both a little easier, and we took care of them quickly (not to mention we had a full five person group now).

But wait there is more! Yeah, Skulloc also requires killing, but he has to be summoned by using a Grimoire. The book is held by an ogre warlock named Vim'gol the Vile. In northwest Blade's Edge, near the bridge to the Netherstorm, is a summoning circle, with five small rings of fire. Each party member must stand in one of those rings to summon Vim'gol. The fight is fairly basic, but there is one trick. At about 50% health, Vim'gol will move to the center of the circle and start casting. At this time, everyone must return to their original ring of fire, or else Vim'gol will get enraged and own your group. If you keep him at normal strength, then just tank and spank to victory.


With the book in hand, you head to a skull covered alter near the entrance to Gruul's Lair. Using the book will summon ogre spirits, and killing the spirits will summon Skulloc. Skulloc was a fairly basic fight once he appeared. I think he had some type of magic attack, but I didn't think he hit particularly hard. You get to harvest Skulloc's Soul when he is defeated, which leads to a big Ogre party by the Circle of Blood. Mog'dorg also declares you to be the new King of Ogres, and sends you to Ogre Heaven.

Ogre Heaven is also known as Ogri'la.
