Description

You've been very fortunate, sister. This is a matriarch the likes of which hasn't been seen in years.

A good bear won't do you much good without the skill to ride it.

I'm going to have you practice some moves on Kirgaraak. He's the largest yeti we've ever managed to capture so be careful. Don't be afraid to walk away if he gives you a beating... there's a reason why we keep him chained.

The quest has a issue where Kirgaraak can be under the ground, as you might have noticed. If you want to aggro him without having durability to you gear, do as follows: Mount up on the bear and run where he is supposed to stand ( use coords to find out where that is ). After doing so, do
/target Kir to target him, and then press 1, which is auto-attack for your bear. Doing so will make him come up from the ground.

I'm not quite sure how I could've forgotten it, but make sure that you tell your bear to attack (by pressing 1 or the first button in the actionbar). After a couple of attempts, I realized my I was simply charging and using maul, but not attacking, thus making the fight next to impossible :) Hope it helps

What I found to be the easiest way was to charge him first, maul him until the Cooldown on charge is back then smash him, back up a little bit and charge him and start spamming Maul again till cooldown on charge is ready. ~Rinse and Repeat~ Also he will attack if your bear dies, and he stops fighting you when you get him to 5%.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Last of Her KindThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    For as long as I can remember, we've obtained our best bears from the Hibernal Cave to the east. Those times might finally be gone. The cave has been overrun by ravenous jormungar and the wild bears are all but extinct.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into the PitThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Besting a tethered opponent is one thing. Fighting other bear riders on equal footing is another. Head into the Pit of the Fang and use what you've learned to defeat your opponents. Good luck, sister. Glory awaits, should you succeed.
