Wondering where the 3rd orb is? Look up silly!

Still need help? Go to the right and around the temple. Find the stairs leading up.

Comment by Auryan

"kill some natives"? Khadgar's a little cavalier with people's lives methinks.

Comment by Reignac

Real shame about Ariok. He was introduced in Cataclyms's Burning Steppes questline; he's Eitrigg's son, but he never really did a whole lot outside of the Burning Steppes. Wish he didn't have to go, the Horde needs more young orcs because there's really only the old guard like Eitrigg, Thrall, and Saurfang.

Had to run round and atop the altar several times plus killing lots of orcs before the 'Escort' bit of the quest signalled it was done. Without that you cannot deactivate the orbs.

Comment by kintotech

Had to drop and restart this one to get it to work.

Comment by Eilonthay

Quest dialogue when you head over to see Ariok:

What can I do to help?
Khadgar has asked us to go distract the Eye of Kilrogg.

Actual dialogue after accepting the quest and heading on down to the site:

Ariok says: You and I against an entire clan? Sounds like my kind of fight.
Ariok says: The Bleeding Hollow orcs use savage blood magic to transform their warriors into hulking berserkers.
Ariok says: With any luck, we will escape before they can complete their transfomation ritual.

Upon entering the site:

Ariok yells: Here we stand, cowards! Come...FIGHT US!

Upon dispatching the first blood orb, you get a whisper from Kilrogg:

Kilrogg Deadeye whispers: I'm coming for you, intruders...

Upon dispatching the second blood orb:

Ariok says: It looks like Khadgar and the rest are on the move. Our work is nearly done, champion!

Upon dispatching the third blood orb, another whisper from Kilrogg:

Kilrogg Deadeye whispers: I can see you...
Ariok says: Look!
Kilrogg Deadeye says: Look what dragged itself through my jungle. Fresh meat!
Ariok says: I know what I must do.
Ariok yells: BLOOD AND HONOR!
Ariok says: GOOOO...FIND...KHADGARRRR...

Once you find Khadgar:

Archmage Khadgar says: First, we deal with the bridge.
Archmage Khadgar says: Now, let's get moving!

Next quest is The Kargathar Proving Grounds.

Comment by Zoiphy

The Deadeye floating around is pretty creepy, and it followed your line of sight wherever you go.

Can't help but notice how it whispers "I can see you....", very reminiscent of Lord of the Rings when Frodo has the ring on and 'the great eye' of sauron says that same thing.

Comment by KadiGee

Bring that strapping orc with you. The one that's not Thrall.

Haha, sorry, am I the only one that finds this the slightest bit amusing? I have no idea why...

Comment by Random0230

If you forget to talk to Arlok before running down to the altar area, you apparently will not receive credit for escorting him even if you run back up to talk him and take him down to the altar area. You will also not be able to kill the orbs.

If you logout and back in, this seems to work as a way to be able to get the escort credit. Abandoning and retaking the quest doesn't seem to fix this.

Comment by ikechi

Does walking over that pots of blood that "explode" when you walk over them do something?

Comment by Catulu

You can not get this quest from Khadgar until you complete the companion quests Bled Dry and Vengeance for the Fallen.

Comment by taurenmoo812

Khadgar: "Hero, takes this dashing orc with you to fight"

Ariok potentially sacrifices himself so you and the others can get ahead, even telling you to warn Khadgar.

Khadgar: "Pff, screw him, his choice"

Not one of Khadgars best moments.

Altar Altercation

Speak with Ariok, then help him distract the Eye of Kilrogg.

	Speak with Ariok (1)
	Escort Ariok to the Bleeding Altar (1)
	Blood Ritual Orb destroyed (3)
	Find Khadgar on Tar'thog Bridge (1)

Description

You see that altar down there? There's a magical eye settled at its peak, and I fear our group will not survive if it sees us.

Distract the eye, <name>. Cause a commotion, kill some ritualists, whatever you have to do - just occupy that thing long enough for me to guide the rest of our group past its gaze.

<Khadgar looks over his shoulder.>

Bring that strapping orc with you. The one that's not Thrall.
