The cave entrance is at (47,55). Gammothra roams around the area (45, 61), as correctly noted above. He is at the bottom layer of the cave, slightly south of the central pool.

(A quick way in for Priests involves a lot of mind soothing, a quick levitate to the bottom and a short leg south till Gammothra)

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 154 of 182
Rewards4,100 XP

Description

Magnataur live in prides, much like lions: one or two dominant males and several females along with their offspring. In the case of Gammoth, the magnataur den west of here, Gammothra is the leader. It is Gammothra that controls this magnataur population and therefore it is Gammothra that must be slain to prevent any type of magnataur uprising. Take this pouch of crushed bloodspore flower to Gammoth. Use the powder from the pouch to weaken Gammothra and then slay him! Return his head to me as proof.

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.
