It's worth to mention that you need 3 Grisly Totems, which drops of the ogrees. After Gorgrom walked into the trap, you need to plant the totems there. It's done by simply clicking on them in your backpack.

It seems to be possible to plant the totems a short while after the corpse of Gorgrom vanished, incase you forget to plant them (like I did). But play it safe, and plant them as soon as possible.

There is a level 72 elite bear near the Altar. Keep your distance from it.

The key to this quest, is to keep a suitable distance from the Altar and not interfere with the script. After you place the trap, Gorgrom will appear in the large clearing on the north side of the Altar, walk to it and get killed by the trap.

Very easy, if you don't interfere. Very painful, if you do.

What to do

StorylineBlade's Edge Mountains, step 56 of 95
RewardsFanged Axe, Whistling Sword, Adjudicator's Staff, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

We must show the ogres that we are not to be trifled with. We must send a message. Travel to Boulder'mok and kill the ogres there. Make sure you keep their heads. Then go to Gorgrom's altar and place the trap there for him. Gorgrom will appear, and you must lure him into the trap. When he is dead, mount your grisly totems near his corpse, so that the ogres may look at their fallen master and their fallen brothers, and know the price for seeking to destroy us.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • It's a Trap!Blade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    There's nothing more that I hate in this world than the sons of Gruul and their father! They slaughtered my people, and my children, and now I will have a taste of revenge! I have fashioned a trap from some dragon fire, and if you're clever enough, you might just be able to use it to kill a gronn.

After this quest

  • Baron Sablemane Has Requested Your PresenceBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    <name>, while you were out being one hell of a <class>, Baron Sablemane sent his pet dragon up here with a message. He's asked for you personally. From what I understand, he wants you to head up his own fight against the gronn.
