I prefer Southwind cleft for these, but either will do. Head into the caves and make a loop or two if you need... there's a lot of kills required here. Save yourself some time and pair this quest up with Bleeding Hollow Supply Crates(http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9916) if you can.

Description

Directly west of here you will find the Halaani Basin. Within the basin are the twin clefts of Nagrand: Northwind and Southwind. Boulderfist shock troops use the clefts to hide their ogre mounds. I need you to track down those troops and kill all that you encounter in the name of Mag'har.

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.

  • Message in a BattleNagrand · Level 15-30

    Ogres are moved by one thing: Might. If we expose ourselves to them as being weak, they will take advantage of that weakness and wipe us out. Garrosh might be ready to lie down and let the ogre dogs take our lands but I am not! I need you to deliver a message to the Boulderfist, <name>.

After this quest

  • Diplomatic MeasuresNagrand · Level 15-30

    Kilrath sends news of the Boulderfist leader: He is an orc! An ancient orc that passed through the Dark Portal in the time of our fathers and has since returned to his homeland. I wish for you to track down this orc and try to convince him to pull back the Boulderfist ogres.
