Trol'kalar

Retrieve Trol'kalar from Trollbane's tomb in Stromgarde.
Sigil of Ignaeus
Provided Item:
Sigil of Ignaeus

Description

What's this? With the four sigils brought together, they have formed together to create one sigil. There can be no doubt that this will be able to break the wardings placed upon Trollbane's tomb.

Trollbane's remains are entombed in the Sanctum behind the chapel in Stromgarde. Retrieve Trol'kalar.

Progress

Etchings in the stone upon the face of the tomb of Trollbane match the glowing lines of the Sigil of Ignaeus...

Completion

Matching the lines on the face of Trollbane's tomb with the glowing lines of the Sigil of Ignaeus, a flash of light consumes the Sigil, and the legendary sword Trol'kalar is released from the stone hands' grip.

First of all please don't be misdirected like me. Trol'kalar is a sword not a humanoid.

The chaple is where you killed the prince in the 3rd part of the quest chain.

As you pass the bridge to get to the chaple, turn right. There will be a few defenders along the way. You'll arrive at the crypt. Go down the crypt. There are 3 protectors there. Slay them and the coffin like object in front of you is Trollbane's tomb.

This was easy being a level 70 druid. I just stealhed all the way. I did this quest chain because Darkspear Trolls rep is so hard to obtain as they don't have a cloth qaurtermaster to turn in cloth for rep.

If you, like me group, are too lazy to fight the same mobs again from the previous quest in the chain, here's a neat corpse run trick, that works especially well for this place.

1) Have all party members buff up right before you engage the mobs. Damage absorbing spells are especially crucial.
2) Run in! Keep running until you are across the bridge. If your party begins to run low on health mages should use frost nova and other classes instacast earthbinding abilities. (I'm playing a mage, so I don't know about any other classes skills)
3) When you cross the bridge, turn left. When you die, make sure you do so with you corpse as close to the fence as possible!
4) When you go to revive your corpse instead of turning left after the bridge, turn right and run around the house there, to the other side of the fence at which you died.
5) Ress yourself and finish the quest.

This may not be that much faster, but my group had been doing this long series of quest for 4 hours and we didn't want to kill the same mobs again. Also, instead of having to fight 25+ mobs, there are only 1-3 + the 3 defenders, which by the way can be solo pulled.

Good luck!

Believe it or not, I was able to solo this one as a 39 Warrior. Took some special tricks, however, that probably were not intended to be used this way. I did the corpse run trick all the way down into the tomb, using piercing howl on every guard who came near. Then when I retrieved my corpse in the crypt stairway, I bandaged up and dashed into the burial chamber. When the keepers attacked me, I used Intimidating Shout which feared them all for 8 seconds, just long enough for me to action the tomb, and complete the quest. I then was able to grab the new quest right before I died. At that point, I simply resurrected at the Graveyard and ran back to Hammerfall to finish the chain.

Simply shameful, how easy it was.

solo'd in about one minute. (Lvl 41 mage). Used the hole to the right of the gate to skip through part of the alliance area and ran past the guards with ice armor and mana shield up, blinking whenever possible.
When I entered the tomb, I used Frost Nova to keep the mobs away from me while I finished the quest, then I just ran out.
Only had to kill one pesky mob that wouldn't stop following me.

lvl 41 Warrior, If you don't mind corpse running just Mount in 3 times get across the bridge its on the right all the way in the back... stand on the stairs when you res Kill the 3 and you have the room to your self...
Other wise Kill them one by one after the bridge However is a 45, he will make you PVP. Careful. I did it beat him and some Play came in and killed me, so after i corpse ran back and made it near the door to go down in the tomb, there are 2 39 or 40s there as well... if you corpse run in Stone out and then go turn it in in Hammer fall... bring healing potions... I used 4 Superiors, but fought 2 and 3 guys at a time, Agro Magnet...

Don't know whats up with all this corpse running, looking at gates of Stromgarde look to the right and follow the cliff around and you will find a hole in the wall. Your basicly right at the bridge.. clear across the bridge then your good to go, just solo'd as a 39 warrior.

Fortunately all the mobs in here can be single pulled. Do note however that they run away in fear when near death... which can pose a bit of a problem if you can't stun them or hit Seal of Justice.

Solo'd this as Level 41 frost mage. Very easy.

Heres exactly how I did it:

1. Enter Stromgarde Keep and use ICE BARRIER then get on your mount
2. Run in forward, turn right, continue through the arch turn right, continue forward then turn at your next available right again which should take you over the bridge.
3. Switch to your mana shield when your ice barrier runs out
4. Run over the bridge now and you should see a cabin... take a right before the cabin and go through the gates and continue until you reach the steps which will take you underground. Stop on the bottom platform and kill ANY followers. I only had 1.
5. Kill the Caretakers 1 by 1 then complete the quest by right clicking the tomb.

Easy! I've uploaded a screenshot of what the Tomb looks like when you get to the bottom of the stairs.

Good luck

""Caretaker Nevlin, and the other two NPCs in the room, Caretaker Alaric and Caretaker Weston are each worth 500xp to a level 41 Horde. If their respawn times are fast enough, this might be a worthwhile farming location for xp.""

Member OverCee from Caretaker Nevlin's page.

The mobs in the crypt are easy to dispatch and worth as much as ""elite"" mobs of the same level. If you kill all 3 in a relatively short timeframe and come back 5-7 minutes later, all 3 will have respawned. If you are banking or just hanging out in shat and can switch to your lower level char every 7-10 minutes, this is an AWESOME GRINDING SPOT. With relatively ""no"" work, you can gain 2-4% of your level every 5-10 minutes.

Yes, if you are alliance you go right just after you've reached the first aid trainer. But as this quest is only for the horde you could search for a first aid trainer in arathi highlands.

But some very easy words are just that you go as much to the right as you can to get to the bridge.

When you passed the bridge, you go to the right side of the house and run straight forward.

This will lead you to the tomb where the quest can be completed.

Down in the tomb you will probably find 3 caretakers wich will require help or just a matter of overpowering gear/level.

Simply just click on the chest and your quest will be completed.

NOTE: There are very many adds on the way to the tomb aswell, so when you see the bridge as soon as you enter the keep you could die right under the bridge. So you can corpserun 1 time instead of geting dazed and unmounted from mobs on the way that will make you corpserun 2 times.

Hope I helped!

for lazy ppl like me: it's not neccessary to run through all these mobs to get onto the bridge, you can get up on the bridge directly:

i came from the north as usual, then jumped between the pillar and the wall on the right side, landed on something there, and from there on the bridge. might have had something to do with me being on that fat kodo mount that gets stuck everywhere, though, so not sure this will be possible for other races

Dunno what's up with everyone and corpse running and what not... these guys are so easy to kill, why not spend the extra minute and get a little more xp? No point or need to go excessively out of your way to avoid killing anything...

Solo'ed as 39 ret pally. From the main gate, followed the wall on the right, there's a small gap between the buildings and the wall you can squeeze through... tauren may have an issue there. Had to take out a troll hunter in the corner by the bridge, and two guards by the bridge. There's a pat that goes out on the bridge but if you're patient you can avoid it, or just cut it down. Two guards on the other side of the bridge. You can shortcut through the trellis and then there's just 2 defenders in your way to the tomb. The clothies inside the tomb are easy, and there's the end of this part of the quest...

A warning when you cut through the trellis though... 2 defenders will come right at you when you do, and if you decide to take them out right there, be careful not AOE'ing or cleaving too close to Deneb Walker (the alliance vendor). Hitting him WILL turn you pvp, and it will be announced on the alliance defense channels. Depending on what realm you're on, someone just might come looking for an easy HK.

Trol'Kalar is the tomb in the crypt. on the Alli side. Be carrefull. there's 1 Alli vendor standing between the mobs on your way to the crypt. If you kill him you'll be PvP flagged.
The vendor Stands at {27,0 - 58,8} You can attack him but he won't attack you untill attacked upon. He's name is red, but don't care. His name is https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2805#. Deneb Walker

A tips for Hunters: You can use disengage to jump up on the bridge from below. Just pull a voidwalker, kill its master, let pet take aggro on voidwalker, get up on the small brown boxes under the bridge (with your back against the bridge) and jump upwards + disengage. Might take a few tries but its nice if you dont feel like killing all the mobs on the way there.

Solo'd as a level 41 disc priest. pretty standard. Shield up, DOT the first one you can get LOS on, Devouring Plague and Shadow word pain. I got two to come, so I DOT'd the second one too. Wanded them down. They did eat my shield pretty quick, so I had to heal a couple times and re-shield a lot. Third guy aggroed when one of the first guys went running in fear, but by the time they run in fear, as long as you have kept your DOT's up, you don't have to worry about targeting them until they die. They will just die running around taking your damage, so basically the third guy was solo.

I actually killed my way in, cause hey, XP is XP and it isn't like the mobs are tough to deal with. ^^ Just be mindful of your Mana pool.

Enjoy! All in all, a long, but fun quest chain.

As of this writing, Trol'kalar is NOT obsolete. I did it with my lvl 30 Shadow Priest. I got it from Galen Trollbane at 12.96, 36.12 in the Arathai Highlands, and turned it in there.

To get to the tomb/crypt, pass under the bridge, then turn right. Fight a few guards while keeping right. You'll have to go around the buildings while staying on the right until you get to the bridge. It'll be the same one you passed under at the entrance, but this time you'll be on top of it. Pass the trellis's and turn right again just before the building ahead. Then turn left and go thru trellis/tunnel. Its a short walk/ride to the crypt/building. Go down. There are 2 easy guys to kill. Take the sword, then head back to Galen Trollbane to turn it in.

He gives you another quest. Alina's Reward.

I haven't done that one yet.

Easily soloed it with a lvl 29 Forsaken Affliction Warlock. No pots, only drains. There aren't so many guards on the way and you can avoid most of them if you run carefully. Like it was said before, the keepers inside the crypt can be lured one by one, so it's not that hard to clear them...
