OK, this quest was kicking my furry butt from here to kingdom come.

Then I read a post by Urgentdk on the EU battle.net forums.

"You just need to let the NPCs do their job and force Hatock to step down from the monster (for about a minute just don't attacks the mob at all until Hatock is down on the ground). Then you kill Hatock, and then the monster.
Phew..."

This finally worked! Hatock jumps down after a minute, and then you open up a can of whoop-ass on him, kill him (which stops his 10k per hit throws) then just carefully kill the gronn.

Yay!
