Alpha Strike (Horde)

Alpha Strike is a Horde-only quest for level 15-30 in Feralas. It is step 43 of 68 in the Feralas storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Feralas at 74.9, 42.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

Gnolls are unfortunately as resilient as they are brutish and stupid. I have driven back the gnolls time after time from our camp, and it is only our chieftain's mercy that prevents them from being wiped out entirely.

Over the years, it has fallen into a dance of strength and dominance. When their numbers surge and they threaten the camp, the alphas, the strongest gnolls, must be slain.

This will drive them back into the forest, and leave us is peace until they forget their lessons.

Alpha wolves are on the mountain in the den. Den coords: 65.53. There is no direct way leading to this den, but you can see small burning torches on the mountain side, so go by the burning torches up and you will find the den. Start going up by 68.55.

The Gnolls are in a camp at the previous listed coordinates and to get there, follow the path to 68.1/53.7 where the path leads to the camp. Some of other types of Woodpaw Gnolls are around the base of the path but easy to get around or kill them. This is with a level 42 Tauren Druid.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • War on the WoodpawFeralas · Level 15-30

    The gnolls... they are more than a nuisance. They are a constant threat to the existence of this very camp! It is irrelevant whether they are indigenous to Feralas or not; if we do not strengthen our resolve against them, we will find ourselves driven out of the entire region.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Woodpaw InvestigationFeralas · Level 15-30

    Gnolls aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but they will no doubt have some sort of documented strategy on their recent activity. If we were to find those plans, then we'd have a clearer idea of what is making them so worked up.
