You have to have chosen the gladiators arena fight club to do this Xuking quest.

I had two characters through Gorgrond: my warrior chose lumber mill which revolves around the jungle side of Gorgrond and my monk chose arena which unlocks the quests on the desert side including this one.

Probably my favorite zone just for how unique the two sides are and how different it is from the other zones. The music is nice too.

Same. I ran through on my Lock okay. Then when I went through on my Druid he was not where he should of been. The only difference is I took a different option just before. I went for Lumber over Gladiators. Does anyone know if this makes a diff?

Description

Good to see your bones are still intact, {name}. Xuk's too. When you set off into the heart of the canyon, Xuk came to offer my services. Xuk not letting you take all of the skulls! Xuk will share with you powerful spirit magics my clan has passed down for many generations. While Xuk make preparations, you must gather the reagents. First, we'll need crystals from husks of goren corpses. You can find their bodies in the canyon.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bad at BreakingGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Screams and growls echo from the canyon below - even more than usual. I don't dare leave Nisha here alone yet. Will you investigate those noises, <name>?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Xuk It!Gorgrond · Level 15-40

    It is done. With this enchantment, not only can you roam amongst the goren freely, but you can move as they do. Your travels through Gorgrond are now made simple. You have safe access to places otherwise impossible to reach. Xuk's ancestors have made it so.

In the Land of Giants has 39 steps, from Mossy Fate to Nisha's Vengeance.
