The Real Threat

Slay Or'Kalar and bring his Head to Korin Fel in the Hammerfall outpost.
Or'Kalar's Head

Description

You serve my husband well, <class>, but he does not know why Hammerfall is under attack.

Or'Kalar, Mug'thol's pawn in Stromgarde, has an intense hatred for my husband, and wishes nothing more than my husband's death for defeating him years ago.

My auguries tell me that Or'Kalar has laid a trap for my husband, so I have hidden signs of the ogre's presence from him.

My husband will rush off foolishly if he learns of the ogre's whereabouts and I would ask for your help in slaying the creature.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Mistspray Kilt
Sword of Hammerfall

Progress

Near the Tower of Arathor--that is where you will find Or'Kalar. His death will stop the attacks on Hammerfall and protect my husband's life.

I see in your eyes that you think me weak--even dishonorable--for my silence. Some day you will learn what it is to love as I do. Perhaps then you will understand a different kind of strength and honor.

In the meantime, do as I ask, and slay Or'Kalar.

Completion

You have done me a great service, <name>. Know that my husband's life and the safety of Hammerfall has been protected for another day because of your deeds. Please take this as a reward for your courage.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 390 experience (23 40 at max. level)
  • 350 Reputation with Orgrimmar

Me (a rogue), a paladin, and two mages (all around level 35) managed to complete this quest. What we did was sap and sheep the three adds, then go for the boss. The problem with this is that it requires good timing so that it don't get too nasty.

The boss will also generally pull up another add that isn't nearby.

A healer is VERY much advised. Will be very difficult to do without it.

If you go for the boss, it's alright if you kill him then die cos you can get the loot after you kill him then run like hell. =D

Quest is easy now. I found him next to one linked mob in the ""house"" immediately East of the Tower of Arathor in the Ogre area of Stromgarde.

I did need to feign death though, after a few adds spawned right at the end of the fight. I don't know if they were linked or a result of a couple allied guys who ran behind me just before the fight. Be prepared.

after patch 2.3 he is non elite mob and so is his guard (a level 38-39 shaman) Or'kalar himself is level 40.
I soloed this with my level 38 paladin.

I completed this solo with a lvl 40 Holy Paladin. I pulled the Lord next to him away and killed him. Then I attacked Or'Kalar, silencing him as I went. No problems at all, did not get attacked by his mob.

Soloed as a lvl 36 holy priest. Approach Stromgard from the main entrance but don't enter. Follow the wall around to the right until you reach the broken wall that puts you right above the Shamans, &amp; Lords. Enter the opening and turn left. Pull t &amp; kill the single ogres as you move along the top of the wall. You shouldn't aggro any but the one you attack. Eventually you will get to the area with Or'kalar. All Non-elites. You will need to pass him, jump off the wall and kill each one individually. Start with the one in the corner and work your way back to Or'Kalar. Pull the closest one of his associates first, kill, then pull him. Once he is dead continue to work your way allong the wall toward the structure, killing as you go. I was able to jump back up to the top of the wall by jumping up in the corners. Got back out the same way I came in.
Good luck

I'm surprised no one mentioned that there was a prerequisite. I could not get this quest until I completed this part of A Call to Arms: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678

soloed as a L33 hunter, coming in the back way (the hole around 21,70). he only had 1 shaman add; i sent my pet to attack the add, and kited Or'kalar by jumping up and down from the corner directly east of Or'kalar's position. the corner is between the outhouse (on the lower level) and the cooking pot (on the upper level). by going back and forth between the upper and lower levels, and using mend pet a few times, i was able to survive long enough to DPS Or'kalar down.

at that point, i suicided, then ran out around through the hole in the back of the ogre area, rezzing on the very top ledge. from there, it was a simple matter to run back out the way i'd come in.

He does no longer have any elite guards and is quite easily spankable ;) Just look out for patrols and multipulls and everything should be fine. He's situated near the big tower in the ogre part of Stromgarde keep. In Stromgarde there are several other quests, Call to Arms and Sigil of Strom for example, be sure to pick them up as well.

Also, watch out for rare elites, they hit hard and don't even have guaranteed green drops =S

Good luck and fast leveling.

Or'Kalar has THREE spawn locations. He has a near instantaneous respawn time. His corpse was still on the ground each time and he'd already be up again by the time I got to the next spot. Just check the other locations.

19.7,68.6 - Open building just East of the tower
18.7,66.3 - Open building just North of the tower
21.0, 65.5 - Open building NE of the tower on a rise above the courtyard

Can be soloed with a lvl 36 warrior IF he's in the right spawn location: go into Stromgarde through the hole in the back and pull him from the ledge. None of the other mobs aggroed when I did it.

Just completed it solo with a lvl 36 Rogue. Dead easy. He was surrounded by a lvl 40 Lord and a 38 Shammy. I found a place, 18.93, 64.84 which was clear in which to fight. Sapped Or'Kalar and pulled, with throwing knife, the Lord, to the above position. Finished the Lord off then got health up to max and pulled Or'Kalar to the same position. The Shammy never moved either time. This was when he was in the open area at 18.69, 66.29.
