Be careful on this one. There are THREE caves in the area. Two have an ogre each, nothing special about them. But the middle one is the one you want. (I say "middle" because it's between the other two, but NOT implying that they are close together!)

Description

The ogre left to watch over these crude fools goes by the name of Gor'kresh. He's big enough to boss even these brutes around, and cunning to boot. Never assume an ogre's stupid, that's when they'll get you. If you take him out, we'll show the Twilight's Hammer that Loch Modan isn't a stepping stone for them. Stand strong against Gor'kresh and drive these fools back into the highlands!

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.

  • Servants of Cho'gallLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    The Twilight's Hammer started as a clan of the savage Horde. Their leader, Cho'gall, slowly turned his band of ogres into a death cult, welcoming anyone insane enough to wish for the end of all existence.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ando's CallLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    You've done great work here, <name>. While you were out, that young Ando fellow was here looking for you. Said something about a metal bird. You might want to go back to the shores of the Loch and see what he wanted.
