During this quest, Grong delivers a speech about doing the best for his tribe, and admits he's afraid of failing his ultimate task. Very relatable, I would say!

Grong says: I know what you must be thinking. Why would any otherwise intelligent beast choose this path for himself?
Grong says: When I heard the gnomes were planning a move against the Horde, I knew I needed to lend my aid.
Grong says: Their device was rudimentary at first, barely able to double the target's size.
Grong says: With my help, the embiggifier now converts intelligence into brute strength.
Grong says: Being the smartest of my kind, it made sense to be the volunteer.
Grong says: It is not without risk, however.
Grong says: The likelihood that my sharp wit will lose its edge is high.
Grong says: But as long as I keep this handsome face, should I really care?
Grong says: I use humor to mask my anxiety.
Grong says: Between friends, I am a little nervous.
Grong says: Mostly I worry I won't be good enough.
Grong says: I want to exceed everyone's expectations.
Grong says: But we're in this together, <player>, right? You won't let me fail.
Grong says: I want to become so colossal that the Horde trembles in fear at the sight of me!
Grong says: Whatever the cost, it will be worth it to see the Horde pay for what they have done.
Grong says: I know the risks, <player> And I accept them.
Grong says: I am ready to become a weapon of the Alliance.

Wow. As must as I enjoyed Drustvar, and as short and uninvolved as this was, this was my favorite quest in a very long time. "I use humor to mask my anxiety." And there you go making me relate to and care about a character I only just met. Thank you, Blizzard, for all your faults and moustache twirling cutscenes, sometimes you just nail the little things.

Description

Ever since the kaja'mite began bubbling around the gorge, I have been searching for meaning. Why was I burdened with intelligence? What is my purpose? I have found my answers in the Embiggifier. I was meant to help the Alliance defeat the Horde. If I can save lives by volunteering, then my choice is clear. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of one. I am ready, {name}.

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.

After this quest

  • Bring the BaseLevel 50

    We'll need to collect some baseline statistics before we use the Embiggifier. Grong will be asked to perform basic tasks pertaining to speed, intelligence, and strength. This will help us measure the increase once he's been embiggified.
