This is a pretty easy quest though it has some annoying parts. First, if you haven't been to Halgrind (which you have by now) its north of New Agamand noted on the map in a dark green oval-shaped area. Walk in there, use the item and round up some of the humanoids, the idea is you need to kill 20 of them with this abom.

BE SURE NOT TO KILL THE MOBS TOO FAR AWAY FROM WHERE YOU'RE STANDING - or you won't get quest credit. Normal quest credit ranges apply here, make sure you're abom isn't too far away. Anyway, after you have them rounded up (probably good to go with 3-4 per round) you'll use your first ability on your pet bar (Looks like a poison). This causes an explosion and your abom is now dead, so you must resummon him, however - all the adds you rounded up are exterminated.

Enjoy!

Seems kinda buggy as of 4.0.6

I'm a rogue, using this mob gives me the two skills I need. Plagued Blood Explotion and Thunderclap.

Thunderclap doesn't seem to do any dmg at all to the mobs, neither give them the debuff It's supposed to give. The Blood Explotion skill only kills 2-3 targets at max, making this quest way longer than it needs to be..

i had the problem where i'd round them up and the explosion wouldn't kill them, and then they'd come after me

after trying a few different things, i found that having the abom melee each one as i rounded them up, made the explosion work and get credit for it

What to do

StorylineHowling Fjord, step 112 of 162

Description

Well, here you are! Our friend's going to be somewhat... unstable. So I suggest not putting him together until reaching Halgrind. Once you're there, use the abomination to round up as many vrykul as you can before self-destructing. Come back with whatever's left once you're done. I can always use more body parts!

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Parts for the JobHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    So Harris wants a demolition job, eh? Yeah, I can help out. You're gonna have to get me some parts, though. I can't afford to use up my choice components on something that's gonna get blown up. First of all, I'm going to need shoveltusk ligaments... way better than the human kind.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mastering the RunesHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    I think I've figured out what the Iron Dwarves are doing. The tools they use are imbued with magic during their forging. When they're used to carve runes, the symbols form much more than mere words. These runes have the power to bind, compel, and twist.
