For those like me who have no clue how to go about this quest, enter the "arena" area from the SW entrance and Rexxar and the rangari will appear and aid you while you fight orcs & gronn. Once they are all dead Rexxar will shout "Nisha! Bring her down!" and Nisha will fly in, grab Brak and fly her to the ground where all three of you will fight her. Move out of her AOE attack, stun her casts if you can and she's easily defeated.

Description

The artifact we seek is within our grasp. Be prepared for a fight. If they truly have learned how to control gronn, this may be more difficult than I anticipated. I will join you in this battle as soon as you arrive.

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.

  • Leave Every Soldier BehindGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Hmmm. The ogron possess something of value to the Iron Horde. I'm sure they're unaware, likely just bored and in need of something to torture. I'd be inclined to just let them be, it's a fate they deserve. But we can't afford not to follow up on this clue.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eye in the SkyGorgrond · Level 15-40

    The notes you recovered tell of a device capable of subjugating even a magnaron. Ancient legends speak of such artifacts, crafted by the worldbuilders to keep these creatures in check. I had discounted them as silly stories, but if they are true... <name>, Draenor is doomed.
