Cornering Gor'krosh

Cornering Gor'krosh is a quest for level 50-90. It is step 8 of 14 in the Orc Heritage Armor storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Durotar at 52.3, 43.2. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

If Gor'krosh is a truly a raptor, you should be able to track it down just like any other animal.

See if you can find its trail. We know it's been around here recently. Corner it in its lair and end this once and for all!

Make sure you return to Razor Hill straight away once you make the kill. The Farseer will need proof of the deed.

Thank you, <name>. May the spirits guide your blade. Lok-tar!

So, I noticed a couple of times that Aggra specifically mentioned this should be done without armor. Apparently that's not true.

After the cosmetic "no armor" visual was applied to me, I noticed I still had my armor on, so I unequipped it. Nearly died to Gor'krosh until I noticed that the blood puddles he dropped during the fight appeared to heal me. I spoke with a friend of mine who did this before me, and he said he didn't manually unequip his armor; he went through the fight with just the cosmetic.

So, yeah.

(What's additionally weird is that after Aggra said I could have my clothes back, I couldn't re-equip my armor. I died to a group of rowdy revelers during the feast, but I was finally able to put my armor back on after resurrecting.)
