Notes on Thora's instructions, after Cata and Mists have dropped:

1) Enter Dire Maul north - that's the one this quest takes place in.
2) No longer necessary since the removal of keys. [object=179516] is now empty and the door is already unlocked; just go straight through.
3) No change.
4) Thora's instruction and wowhead's map for this quest are correct, but Blizzard's in-game quest marker is incorrect. It puts the location much farther along in the instance than it actually is. Follow the instructions here, not your in-game map.
5) [npc=14325] wasn't standing where I got the... tannin, I'm guessing? Anyway, he's all the ramps and down the hall, just before you enter Gordok's Seat (the circular room with [npc=11501]).
6) Kill [npc=11501] but make sure to leave [npc=14324] alive.
7) No change.
8) Well, where you would have gotten the key in step (2) if it was still in game. You can't really miss him, though, as you're running back towards the start.
9) No change.
10) No change.

Hope this helps some folks. Thora's original comment quoted below:

Done in BFA 8.2. This for how to solo this after the removal of the keys and to maximize your chances to get loot from the [object=179564] chest. If you don't care for getting maximum chest loot, then make sure you don't kill Guard Mol'dar and that you get the ogre suit and talk to Captain Kromcrush.

Full Tribute Run (skip this if you already know how to do one):


  1. Skip all bosses (including extra bosses) except for King Gordok

  2. After entering the hallway after Guard Fengus area, go until you see a hunter looking trap (Broken Trap) on the ground. Complete its quest (but avoid aggroing Guard Slip'kik)

  3. Wait for Slip'kik to get caught in the trap and then work your way up the ramp

  4. When you see the brown basket in the middle, click on it to get the [item=18240]

  5. Go back down the ramp to the goblin next to the fire (Knot Thimblejack) and turn in the tannin to get the Gordok Ogre Suit

  6. Use the suit and go up the ramp until you see Captain Kromcrush. Talk to him to trigger him to leave.

  7. Go to the King Gordok and only kill him; don't kill [npc=14324]

  8. Wait for Mizzle the Crafty to come and keep talking to him until he spawns the chest and loot it.

Quest Steps:


  1. Do a "Full Tribute Run" (or do the minimal parts to get Kromcrush back to the courtyard)

  2. Head back to where Guard Fengus would be fought at and talk to Captain Kromcrush

  3. Accept the quest and turn it into Guard Mol'dar

  4. gg
