Against the Giants (Alliance)

Against the Giants is an Alliance-only group quest for level 25-30 in Icecrown. It is step 28 of 167 in the Icecrown storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Icecrown at 62.6, 44.1. It rewards 5,150 experience and money.

Description

While it's going to be crucial to defeat the Scourge on the ground, we mustn't neglect the gate itself.

The flesh giants on the ramparts are capable of hurling massive boulders and chunks of ice, inflicting devastating damage to enemy infantry below.

Muster a force and defeat these giants. We need to know just what we're up against in terms of their strength.

Oh... and bring me their spines. If memory serves, there's a little trick I can share with you.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • That's Abominable!Icecrown · Level 25-30

    Abominations... They can be a very capable enemy. I've seen them turn the tide of battle more than once. What few realize, is that they can also be very capable friends. They are not deep thinkers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Basic ChemistryIcecrown · Level 25-30

    <Thassarian takes the pustulant spines and drains their fluid into a flask.> A little-known quality of the flesh giants... Their spinal fluid interacts with the plague in a very interesting way, turning it into a corrosive acid.
