Entrance to the beach is at 33, 42 - behind and to the right (if looking at the map) to Voltarus.

Grab an abomination, use the abomination to gather a bunch of trolls up, and explode the abomination on the mobs. If your abomination dies to despawns due to going out of range, all of the mobs that were on it will attack you.

For every 20 trolls you kill, a chieftan will appear.

Commentaire de 22114

Don't forget to use your fart to tag things and stun the trolls to prevent it from getting instagibbed.

Commentaire de endx7

I had some issues doing this quest at first, but I've noticed two important things.

It appears you need to have the abom melee hit each troll before blowing up, or else you might not get credit.

Commentaire de 29778

You can buff and heal your abom if you are playing a class that can do that.

Also it seemed to me that you need to blow your abom up right after using the knockdown ability to get a credit.

Took me ^&*!load of tries and lots of trolls to complete this quest.

Commentaire de 41652

My observations while doing this quest:

Buffing or healing the abom didn't seem to impact getting credit.

The single strongest indicator of whether credit was given was staying close to your abom. Sure, it stays under your control, but once it's past some range (I dunno, maybe the range of the Scepter), it seems to quit being properly associated to you for quest credit purposes.

Also, I had best success taking out small clumps of aboms, three to six roughly. Sure, I could collect up more, but it seemed like it just gave it more opportunities to disassociate me from my abom's kills.

Hope this helps!

Commentaire de Chronalis

If you're a tank or class that can round up a lot of them easily, set abom on passive and follow. Stun, explode. Boom!

Also, if you get a warning about the disguise falling, you can use the abom explosion to catapult yourself ;)

Commentaire de Twiceasnice

Getting attacked by the trolls yourself does not break the disguise

Commentaire de Hogosha

A really good tip is to two man this(larger groups just make it easier so go for it) one will be a tank, the other just a dude who controls the Aboms. Have the tank run through the camp and kite a good number around, my pally was able to get on average 12 at a time, and after holding them for a second, the guy controlling the abom runs in and detonates, getting all 12 at once. Makes the quest MUCH easier and faster for the people in the group.

Commentaire de Madrose

Also just a fair caution, ive noticed that the mobs that the abomination picks up randomly aggros you for no reason from time to time. Sometimes just one, and sometimes 3 or 4. O_o So keep that in mind if your a low armor class, as this can be a pain at times.

Commentaire de Kastaje

Druids can use Hot's without breaking disguise and you can heal the abomination.

Commentaire de 118928

As far as i can tell, you need to be real close to the abomination before you use the stick, much closer then it's range is, so you to get the credits.

When i did that i went smooth and fast.

Commentaire de Reznorhurt

The trick is to make sure your abomination is not moving at all when you explode it.
Once i figured this out, turned into a fun and easy quest.

Commentaire de bebbe

A good idea can be to bodypull a couple of trolls onto yourself (note that using offensive abilities will break the costume), keep yourself alive with whatever you can (Manashield, hots, defstance, whatever) and then have the mob go boom on them.

Should speed it up a bit.

Also, for those of you that haven't figured it out, the AOE (not explode) ability of the abomination is very useful for reducing damage taken and keeping the mobs from resetting. Happy hunting.

Commentaire de level12wizard

If you're body pulling trolls, you can bandage and eat without breaking the diguise.

Death Knights can Bone Shield and Icebound Fortitude as well, probably the same for other class self buffs to reduce damage.

Commentaire de Gorillaface

This quest is pure &*!@. End of story - the mobs wont count, the MC'd mobs are bugged and have no bar, there's is NOTHING that actually WORK. Don't reply with "well it works here", because it doesn't here, so sod off.. Seems as if many of the quests in Zul'Drak have the same *!@#ty problem..

Commentaire de 43225

Ok. Suit up in your zombie costume. The ramp you wanna be at is around 32,39 for the bloated abominations. Use your scepter to make them your pet.
Now the only way to do this quest in any reasonable amount of time, is to have your abomination try to aggro as many of the trolls as possible. Watch out though because if your abomination dies, you will have a crew of angry trolls comin to kick your ass!
Click on one troll, hit your attack button on the pet bar, then go after another. Soon you'll have a train going.
Now before your abomination dies, click the button that will make him do his explode ability. That will kill him and any troll nearby him instantly.
It's a pain in the ass because at any time during this whole controlling thing your suit can break, so be aware of that.

Commentaire de 18157

This quest is quite annoying. Seems to randomly give you credit sometimes and sometimes not. I've tried several methods and there doesn't seem to be any "right" way to get credit all the time. Took forever, considered dropping but the next step has pretty good rewards.

Commentaire de 232784

Do you have to be in the zombie costum to get credit? Or can we just go in there and kill like a normal quest

Commentaire de 217343

What I've found is that the knockback of the explode skill from abominations make you lose the credit (you need to be on range of the dying mobs, and they take 1 or 2 seconds to die after you've been knockbacked). So this is what I did. First of all, put zombie costume and get your abomination pet (you don't get credit if you aren't zombie, checked).

1) There's a route that you might want to follow. You start at the fire in 35,38, then go to the fire to the northeast. After that, you go straight to the southern fire. Once there, go west. That's the route you gonna do with each abomination. If you are lucky, you'll catch the respawns (they do respawn fast). If you end up with just a few, doesn't matter. You'll have respawns latter then, you don't wanna risk your pet dying too soon.

2) So you are in the fourth fire. Now to the west/bit south there's a corner. You gonna run there with your pet. Make sure you keep those trolls tagged. When you get to the corner, stick your ass to it, wait until trolls come to your pet, do the stun and inmediately explode. If everything goes good, you won't get knockbacked, and the mobs will die in the place, giving you full credit.

It worked flawlessly for me, so if you're having troubles with the quest, give it a try, I hope this can help more people.

Commentaire de 80785

this is literally the worst quest i've ever done, please do yourself a favor and DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

my 5 man group spent 6 corpse explosions, killed 40+ mobs, and get credit for only 3

don't waste your time on this

Commentaire de 42221

using Flatulate abom skill will cause u NOT to get kill credit atm (18 nov 08) only use explode to kill mobs.

Commentaire de 124900

This quest is annoying and 60 is way too many to kill. The worse case: if a troll just respawns besides you and attack you, odds are it will break your disguise easily then your pet will disappear and all trolls turn to chase you...

Commentaire de apokavkos

I signed up for an account just to post what I figured out based on the above information.

1. Your abomination needs to melee each mob at least once.
2. You must use your Abomination's Flatulate on each mob.

Afterward just explode them. I did it 5 at a time without missing any credit once i figured this out.

Overall this the worst quest in the Darkuru achievement. Take your time and hit every mob and use the flatulate. Enjoy!

Commentaire de 1420

Not sure if it made the difference or not, because I was following most of the other advice in here to make sure I got credit, but as a mage I turned on molten armor, set the abom to passive, and ran slightly ahead of him while spamming flatulate, so that I myself would tag the trolls when they got hit from the armor proc. Once i started doing that it worked very well for me, pulling 10-15 trolls at a time. I'm sure other things such as thorns or ret aura would have a similar effect.

Just my experience. Fun quest.

Commentaire de AusSpyder

I run around body pulling everything with abom following on passive. I had abom targeted so i would heal him if he got low on health, and shift heal (self cast) if I got low.

Would round up about 15-20 at a time, farting every 5 mobs or so, and when it got too many to handle i would have him do one final fart, and then expload. Took about 10 mins for first 5, and then about 3 minutes for the other 55 once i got the hang of the quest

Commentaire de 249300

This is one of the WORST Glitched quest Blizz has ever came out with... dont do it waste of your time & effort. this goes along with the quest Fuel for the Fire .. even WORSE

Commentaire de Ugru

Another awful quest in Zul'drak. I could have soloed the 60 trolls the old fashioned way but I'm stuck using this dumb abomination instead. and it takes 4 times as long to do it.

Commentaire de Icemagic

It takes some time to complete this quest.
Not one for the impatient, but eventually I completed the quest chain and finished my achievement Guru of Drakuru.

This whole quest chain takes some thinking and reading of the quests, I enjoyed doing this as it had a challenging difficulty and takes some skill to complete.
Be patient and you'll complete this quest :)

Commentaire de Nekrotik

Don't die, the GY is halfway across the freakin zone.

Commentaire de InfinityBall

It is entirely false that you need to have your abomination melee them before exploding to get a kill. My abomination meleed a total of 1 mob the entire quest.

Commentaire de 240618

it's a good idea to use Flatulate when you see alot of mobs chasing another player...
then they will all go on your abom and you can explode them.. i think i got around 10 mobs just on one abom that way..

Commentaire de Mutilor

This is the new worst quest in WoW. If you care about your xp per hour at all do not do this quest.

Commentaire de 194672

I found 2 fancy things about this quest.

1. You get credit from even tagged trolls if the explosion kills them.
2. Blowing up the abomination next to a other player sends him up to the air and deals fall damage, so throwing them towards the downhill could increase their repair bill.

Keep in mind that using knockback and blowing up before they stand up does not do anything to the trolls, just results into bunch of trolls chasing you.

Commentaire de 243280

lol.. as a hunter, u still can use ur Feigndeath without screwing ur disguise :P

Commentaire de Toumei

I would just like to say that this quest almost made me throw my laptop out the window.

Commentaire de 255015

I have real problems with this quest. Enslaving the abom is fine, what I have issues with is the bloody speed it runs and the distance at which it despawns.

I enslave the abom, it WALKS towards me at the speed of a dying snail. I run into the enclave area to get to troll killing. I turn around, only to see that the abom has turned around, wandered off out of range of me and despawned. Great.

As my server is so busy (Aggramar EU; we have serious overcrowding problems) there are rarely other aboms to control if the one you snagged despawned.

I have only abandoned two quests so far in Northrend, and this is one of them (the other is the Dragonblight quest to get cultist costumes).

Commentaire de 259221

Well this quest induced me to post my first few lines of nerd rage. Good game Blizz, after this quest being bugged since at least mid-August judging by the wowhead posts, you still have not fixed it. After attempting this quest for a few minutes, and consulting the above comments, I finally figured out that you must kill exactly 3 trolls. So basically don't be stubborn like me, and waste your time. Even by pulling exactly 3 trolls at a time it's just not worth it. Just do the quest line until this one, and then move on.

Commentaire de desekrator

FYI - warlocks can health funnel the abominations as of 11/29/08

be careful not to pull healing aggro.

edit: blackhand (US) - did not run into any bugs or problems whatsoever with this quest.

Commentaire de 259699

passed it 5 mins ago, dont do this unless you really got the time and will

Commentaire de 261538

Easy as 1 2 3

1 make a macro : /petattack, then put it somewhere on your action bar.

2 Select trolls... have your pet attack it with the macro. Don't bother killing it.. just have your pet attack it once to get agro. Gather every troll you can this way.

3 Use Flatulate often to keep the trolls from grouping up on your abomination. As long as you use that ability you can easily gather 20 trolls at a time. When you have enough.. use Burst at the Seams. Tadaaaaaa finished.

Commentaire de lormus

Did this quest on 2 characters now. Both times it took me over 30 min.

Here are the strategies that I tried and which are NOT working reliably:

Blow up mobs near "gong"
Use aoe stun and then blow up immediately
Don't use aoe stun
Take control of abomination initialy when standing close to it
Let abomination get 1 melee hit on each mob

But by the end of this hour I noticed the following: you need to be close to abomination when it blows mobs
AND
To stay close you need to position yourself near a fence or mountain to avoid knockback

Hope that helps

Commentaire de 11107

If this wasnt part of a chain that leads to an achievement, I would've passed on this one.

I ended up detonating the abom early a few times, because a player decided it would be fun to try and explode the trolls I had tagged, as well as giving me knockback damage.

I was getting 4-6 each time (generally, i'd keep going until the abom was about to die).

Also, some people seem to believe you can only get 3 trolls with one explosion. (someone tried to tell me this in-game) This is false.

Commentaire de mlawson03

Hunters, FD does not remove the disguise. Use it.

Commentaire de 115982

I had some fun scouting around the Reliquary of Pain for other players and then detonating my abomination, sending us both flying in what I found to be a highly amusing fashion.

Commentaire de 259793

The quest reward here is nice which is what you should focus on while you spend A LOT OF TIME doing this quest. I kept not getting credit, I had done it before with similar experiences and this is a very annoying, frustrating quest. I found that yes you need to keep him still, fart a lot and kill about 4 at a time. If i pulled more than that i would not get credit.

I would suggest this is bugged in some regard, but suck it up and get through it.

Commentaire de 221759

Hunters, Feign Death won't break your disguise if your Abom decides to go on vacation.

Commentaire de 261853

A hint to all the hunters doing this quest, use your aspect of the pack whilst doing the quest, your abomination will be running faster and he is immune to the slowing effect you usually get if u take any damage with that aspect.

And to you complaining about not getting any credits for the kills, just stay close enough to the abomination, tag 1 mob with the abomination with just attacking it once, take the abomination to the next mob and do the same, collect as many as you can before the abominations health is too low, and just make it explode. Took me about 5mins to do it.

Commentaire de 253902

Just a few tips on how to get credit every time for this quest.

1. ALWAYS stay by your Abom. If you stray too far from it, you will not receive credit for kills.
2. Do not change your Abom's react-type (Aggressive, Defensive, Passive) AFTER you have pulled mobs as it will also prevent you from getting credit for some reason.
3. I'm not completely sure on this one, but it seems that if you forget to put you Abom on Passive before entering combat and it attacks a mob and you force it to switch targets, you will not receive credit for kills.

This quest is very iffy and you shouldn't take my tips as if they are written in stone. However, as general rules you should always stay by your Abom and put it on Passive while you round up the mobs. My success rate jumped when I followed the tips here, and it can never hurt to try them out for yourself if you are having trouble getting credit. ^^

Commentaire de canyoneagle

The abominations are down in a small valley below the scourge village, and wll turn green for you once you use the disguise (they will attack you if you are not in disguise) find one near the gateway to the village (top of the abomination valley), use the scepter, and he'll follow you anywhere. You will have a "pet bar" to assign targets and actions for your new friend.

I found it best to keep the mobs reasonable. I would target the nearest scourge mob, hit the pet "attack", once the abom was holding aggro, I'd (quickly) select another mob in line with my minion and select the attack button again (the red claws), which would aggro the mobs between my minion and the target. then id blow up my minion. It is effective if the second/third selected mob makes your minion run through other groups, because they will aggro him. Be careful not to pick up too many, though or you will find they kill him very quickly.

So, when the abomination has 10-12 mobs, blow him up, then go get another one and repeat. There is a stone wall to the left as you head towards the abominations. I found this to be a 'safe zone' where I could reset the disguise between rounds.

Fun and easy quest!

Commentaire de 266964

I had no major problems doing this quest tonight. It did take a couple of tries to get the hang of it. I gathered 7-10 mobs at a time, flatulated, and waited for them to get up before bursting. The whole thing took about 10 minutes from first death to finish. Don't skip this quest. The rest of the chain is well worth the final reward.

If you're a warlock, you can health funnel the abomination. Makes it even easier to grab a large group before blowing up.

Commentaire de 73327

I feel sad about trolls. They are good guys fighting lich king. And here we are kill them like some mindless butchers. Wotlk quests much evil than was before.

Commentaire de Allbetter

My $0.02. Skip this quest unless you just have hours to kill. Trying it for the 2nd time now (did it on druid and now priest). All of the suggestions above seem just coincidence to work. I tried with just 3 trolls. Got no credit. Tried with me standing ON the abomination, no credit. Can't get much closer than that. In over 20 abominations, I got credit for 22 ghouls. I got 5 at once twice. I got 0 credit more times than I care to count. Going to log a complaint with Blizzard and move on.

Commentaire de shinoka

lol shalewing throws a snowball at the cheiftens

Commentaire de 141719

This whole zone is so annoying, And this quest is unbelievably bad XP/Hour. 20k not nearly enough, zero xp for any kills done.

However, If you can't resist doing the quest, I found that this strategy works well.

Set the Abomb to passive on follow all the time, you lead the way and fart to take agro, when abombs health is getting low just blow.

Cheers.

Commentaire de 13419

with pet on passive, run in and get a ton off agg, is the fart button if you need to. get as many as you can before you explode.

Commentaire de Nunnally

I just found out what was wrong ;)
If u click ur explosion button on the Abomination more than once u wont get credit for it, just click it ONCE and u will get credit for it ;D
So don't spam click it...

Works for me

Hope that helps =)

Commentaire de 156308

Ok. I think a lot of people are posting because they're frustrated and not reading everything that's here. I had killed about 20 mobs and had only gotten credit for half of them. I was having him melee some, explode right away, using both together and still didn't work. So I knew I was doing something wrong. After reading here I finished the quest in 3 minutes. What you need to do:

1. Do not change your pet's status. (Agressive, Passive...)
2. You can gather up as many mobs as your pet can get before you blow it up.
3. You only need to be close to your pet when you blow it up. I would say it's 20 yards. The best way to gauge that is to see the max range for taming one. It's the same distance you can be away when you use Burst at the Seams.
4. Also, when you're rounding them up, do not let it get really far away or it will despawn.
5. In order to get credit they seem to have to have the Flatulate debuff on them, but not be stunned. Which just requires watching and getting the timing down.
6. When you go to kill your collected mobs, you must be in the ghoul disguise.

What I did was tell it to attack a mob and along the way spammed Flatulate every time it was up to agrro as much as I could. There are several large groups that work well. I even healed him a few times to keep him up longer (I'm a Druid). Once he had a group on him and his health was going down I would run into about 15 yards away from him or a little closer. Then I used Flatulate, waited the 1 second for them to get up and hit Burst at the Seams when Flatulate was about to drop off. When I did all that, I could easily kill 8-12 at a time.

I hope this helps to condense everything posted here so far and get you the achievement.

*edited for punctuation.

Commentaire de 302612

I've encountered another problem during this quest. Unlike what Cactuar explained, I had to explode my abomination while the trolls was effected by flatulate. This it took a while to realise, so I used ages during this quest.
Actually got a bit mad in the end, since I think it is a good idea, and good gameplay, and then they've sucked at making the mechanics this bad.

Commentaire de 304601

I linked not getting credit for this to retribution aura. Probably does some weird "ghost" tag or something. Don't use it. I would stay away from thorns and such, too.

Commentaire de 301721

This is not a very fun quest, this.

Most of the time it just simply fails, and the other time it's just not worth the trouble. It's too slow and boring to send out the abomination. Sure it was fun the first time, but it doesn't last through 8 fails per 1 success.

Seems there's a decent necklace at it for you if you can be arsed to do this quest and the follow ups, but frankly I rather skip the necklace than get !@#$ed off at a quest. (And frankly the quest also sucks for your avarage exp/time ratio, so it sucks for leveling, too. Epic fail of a quest, in total.)

Commentaire de 305582

I've done this 3 times now, on different characters. The first 2 times were troublesome, but now I've developed a theory about the missing credit issue, which helped greatly.

The theory is simply this: you're much more likely to miss out on credit if you spam the Burst at the Seams button, especially on high latency connections. If you press the button once and only once, and are not too far away from your Abom, you're more likely to get credit -- even if you get knocked back some distance. If you're like me, you're inclined to madly spam skills in the hope of getting them exactly when the cooldown is up. Don't do it for this question, though, it seems to cause issues.

Curiously enough, this is also a work around to a bug in the Gymer quest. In that quest, if you press the button to pick up lightning spheres only once, you're much more likely to eat it for health, rather than just grabbing it uselessly.

EDIT: Just tried again, with the same result... As people in this thread have said before and since, the only thing you need to do to get 100% credit is resist spamming the buttons. Hit Burst at the Seams only once; distance, knockback, quantities of trolls, etc, is irrelevant. I suspect this is actually a bug in bartender, and perhaps some other addons as well, which is why it's never been addressed, and why people have reported it working fine with addons turned off.

Commentaire de veno3

Whenever i used the quest item on an Abomonation, it turned green then automatically despawned. When i put on the disguise, it worked without problems. So if you are experiencing this, you must be wearing the Scourge Disguise(Ensorcelled Choker) quest item.

Commentaire de triton666

ok I think I got it heh, It seems to me after trying all the things said that there are timers that are put on mobs when you kill them using your pet. And the timer doesnt go away when the mobs respawn.... I couldnt get above 21 kills, then I im like wtf... went and made a potpie came back, read some of the patch notes, tried again... got up to 45 in one pull... Im going to guess that there is a timer either on the mobs or on the pet, I dont know. waiting seems to help :\

Commentaire de 63403

Disable all your mods.
Doing so made the quest work perfectly for me.

Commentaire de 309096

DO NOT SPAM THE BLOW UP BUTTON!

If you spam it you do not get credit for the kills, just click it once and it works every time.

Commentaire de 96252

Stupid buggy quest. The things said above are mostly good suggestions. Stay close, don't try to get too many trolls at once, use flatulate and wait for them to recover, etc.

However, there's no 'guaranteed' way of not having trolls not get counted, seemingly at random. Expect to have to kill way more than 60.

Commentaire de nabziF

XP/hour? Wah. Please...

I enjoyed this quest as a fun diversion from the simple-minded "go retrieve 10 craps for me" or "go murder 20 bozos"; I found it quite amusing! There's just something grotesquely satisfying about exploding a bloated abomination in the middle of 20 hapless trolls...

Commentaire de 318578

Tanks
Okay, here's a really clear guide if u can handle some damage!
Tame the abomination, then u set it to "passive"
Then u start running around the camp and aggro trolls, if u are geared u can actually manage to tap all the mobs in the camp - as I managed to do.
The thing is; for this to work, u will have to remember the shortcut: ctrl+4 = aoestunpushback! - While u are running around aggroing, make sure to use the abominations aoestunpushback spell properly (it has only 5 sec cd) so it means often - You shoud be running all the time doing this process, so shortcut to aboaoestunpushback comes handy as u should use it when u can, this way u will survive easily, I actually think everyone can manage to do this, since the trolls will get pushed away repeatedly. At last gather them up, and - Kaboom! <3

*EDIT* forgot about one thing, which wasn't any problem for me - the crdit for kill problem, it happened to me once, seems to be random, but with my tactic it shouldn't be any prob cause the quest only takes bout 10min, since u pull so many at the time ;)

Commentaire de 256135

As a Mage.. use mana shield constantly til you hit zero mana while rounding up as many as you can (Ice Armor also helps due to slowing them down) then when you have no more mana, use Aboms flatulate to gain aggro to him til he's close to death then explode.. this way you should be able to gather a crap load of them at once.

Commentaire de 319038

Really frustrating quest. I found the only way to reliably progress is to limit yourself to exploding 4 trolls, and standing almost inside the explosion radius. This means atleast 15 abominations if you want to play it safe. It takes forever but atleast you get a reliable credit for it. I did get credited with 11 on the first explosion, but after that I couldn't get above 4.

I can't believe this made it past the beta, it's a really great idea for a quest but it really doesn't work.

Commentaire de SpeedAtNight

Quest is bugged since 3.0.8, exploding the mobs doesn't give you credit. A similar problem is occurring with the That's Abominable! daily quest.

Commentaire de 90014

A smart way to kill many Skullcrushers is to aggro as many as possible and use the "Burst at the Seams" spell that your abomination has. If you aggro like 10 skullcrushers, use the spell, and all die at once.

Commentaire de 321065

This quest is really quite fun once you get the hang of it, i did what a few people suggested. I put my abomination on passive, ran around and pulled heaps, continually making my abomination to fart to keep them following, and then when i had a nice number i blew them up. Only took me 3-4 round ups once I figured it out and read some comments on here. As a ret pally it was fairly easy cos i have relatively high armor and also ret aura, not sure if that worked to tag them but that's what i did anyway. But once you figure it out its not the worst quest in wotlk, its good fun blowing em up, and its part of the drakuru storyline and achievement anyways.

Commentaire de Urbanmech

its a pain because if you get blown back by your abom's suicide, you do not get any credit from the kills. so you have to be out of range of his suicide when it goes off to get credit. Tested 100%

Commentaire de 306669

You MUST be in your scourge costume while you try to control the abominations.

Commentaire de 251629

Before you QQ about this quest, please read what others have suggested, mainly click the Seams button only ONCE.

I've just done this quest a 2nd time, and it works fine as long as you don't spam that button. Works whether you pull 3 or 10 mobs.

And of course, wait until all the Trolls aren't stunned anymore before you use Seams.

Commentaire de 275927

I got credit every time once I started standing right inside the abomination when I blew it up.

Commentaire de 328301

So I have finally figured out reliably what the problem with this quest is. As predicted, the problem comes when you get too far away from your abomination, after which you can no longer get credit for trolls he blows up. But the distance it takes to dissociate from your pet doesn't just occur as you are commanding him around the zone, it can also occur when you first take control of him. So if you are too far away from him when you first mind control him, you will never be able to get credit for any of his kills even before you get any control at all!

The workaround is to stand literally on top of an abomination when taking command of it, and never letting him get more than about 3 yards away from you the entire time you use him. I just ran inside of him the whole time, and using this method I was able to consistently get very large numbers of trolls and credit every time. I hope this helps!

I was having the same problem which people discribe here, not getting credit for the kills. And I think I can add to the discussion above.

When you gather the mobs and you want to blow them up, DO NOT click the explode skill more than once (or use the keybinding if have it keybound). When you spam click it you cause the abo to blow up twice and bug the kills.

>Use the explode skill only ONCE and you should get credit for the kills correctly.<

I didn't have proper amount of tries to verify this 100% but worked for me. If someone could try it and post here if it worked for him aswell. I'd save a lot of troubles.

Commentaire de kurrent

This quest is well annoying. Takes forever as you hardly ever get credit for the troll kills. Will take you an hour to complete this once you finally figure it out. Avoid this quest at all costs.

Commentaire de Kegsta

Make sure you are standing right ontop of the aboms head when he explodes seems to make it give the credit for the quest.

Commentaire de 71402

Not 100% sure if this is the definitive answer but this worked for my last two aboms after a ton of fails.

Collect mobs as normal (and obviously make sure to leave some health buffer on the abom) and then flatulence and WAIT UNTIL ALL MOBS ARE UNSTUNNED. Only then hit the explode. Seems that if the mobs are still stunned you won't get credit for any of them.

Commentaire de Ltqi

You don't get credit for killing the mobs yourself. I would have finished this quest 10 times faster if i could just kill them rather than getting lucky with kill credits with the abominations...

Commentaire de 339532

I was having the same problem, couldn't get kill credit... anyways I accidently put set focus on a abomination after charming it, seemed to solve the problem for me, was getting killcredit everytime I blew something up.

Might've just been luck tho', either way, solved the problem for me.
^&*! quest is &*!@.

Commentaire de 333355

This quest (and one very similar to it in Icecrown) is still buggy. I literally can't believe Blizzard hasn't fixed it yet.

I have read through the suggestions on how to get credit and none of them work 100% of the time. I have been in close proximity and received no credit and been 40 yards away and have received credit. I have used the Abom to melee pull each mob, and just used the knockback to pull them.

It seems to me that the bug is entirely random. If you don't care about a eventual blue quest reward or getting the quest achievement for the zone I highly recommend simply skipping this quest.

If I had a suggestion to Blizzard it would be: If you can't fix the mechanic, then take it out of the game and just make the quest different.

Edit: Upon further testing, this actually appears to be the best solution:

Collect mobs as normal (and obviously make sure to leave some health buffer on the abom) and then flatulence and WAIT UNTIL ALL MOBS ARE UNSTUNNED. Only then hit the explode. Seems that if the mobs are still stunned you won't get credit for any of them.

I say "best" solution because it still wasn't 100% sure. I still at least one situation where I received no credit, the only difference in that situation seemed to be the amount of trolls I had rounded up that time (I had a lot).

Commentaire de 341843

quest! I hate the word
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.

Commentaire de Shadowdrood

After 30mins and lots of abominations i still had 14/60
I suggest you skip this quest, i tried all tips to get the credit but it seems nothing works

Commentaire de YSM7

I found out what the problem is. You need to be distanced from your pet when he is attacking and killing trolls or they will not count for some reason.

Commentaire de 61043

Thank you very much for this, who would have known that the most counter-intuitive guess would have been the correct one. I naturally tried to stand on top of the abom because being out of range for credit would be the more obvious guess for this bug. I'd vent in guild chat about this being the worst quest in the game, and of course I'd get useless suggestions of "lol dont fart before u explode". Naturally most other people did the quest with no problem at all.

I'm still amazed this bug has persisted to this day. It has seriously been in the game since it was first put into the beta (I even sent my own bug report specifically for it). I've personally gotten to bash my head against it 5 separate times now. Funny thing is they even copied this amazing quest and re-used it in icecrown, where it's just as buggy.

Commentaire de 345335

right this quest is bugged the abomination dont follow you i tried anything

Commentaire de 346991

Use your Toon in disguise, to pull the trolls set the abomination to passiv, when u have 7-8 (Ele shammy) let the abo Explode. Worked for me. Don´t Attack or Flatulate with the Abo.

Commentaire de wye43

So many quests with mind controlled mobs are bugged for pet classes :(
I did this on my rogue without any problems, but on my hunter I have to relog after every single blow, or it stops getting credit for them. Yes I'm standing in melee range on the stupid abomination. I tried killing only 3 at a time too, nope.

This is the same issue as the quest in Ice Crown. I guess the abominations quests just blow :P

Commentaire de Intra

Probably THE WORST quest in wotlk, hope they modify it. I loved killing about 30-40 of these mobs and not getting credit(yes I did it correctly).

Commentaire de 2804

I had no buggy problems with this quest, personally, but it was still a painfully slow process. I could reasonably collect about ten or twelve trolls at a time before my abom was near death, but the running back and forth just really drains at your patience.

The quest really could use a reduction from twenty per chief to ten.

FYI, I've heard from friends who had "bugging" problems with this quest that they were really going for broke on troll collection. They'd try and snag twenty at a time, and would frequently get no credit for the ones they exploded. I'd suggest stopping when you get to about ten trolls around your abomination (which, really, is usually about as many as you can collect before the meatbag is near death anyway).

Commentaire de 166572

As a Warlock, I put my disguise on, summoned my voidwalker, sacrificed then quickly tamed an Abom. and body pulled.

When I had a lot of trolls on me I just had my abom explode.

Commentaire de lockh33d

Still bugged as of 3.1, doesn't matter how many you seem to aggro or whether you have the abom on passive or not, the majority of the time, you still end up with the same amount of troll kills as the last bout.

I even had a GM tell me to reset my wow folders to fix it , so frustrating =\

Commentaire de Krevitz09

my first attempt i just tried to Round them all up (i'm a tank) and them blow up, but i believe if you get hit by the explosion and get knocked back, You Will NOT receive credit but if you stayed far enough away you will --

just my experience

Commentaire de 1042

I was able to find a consistent method for getting credit by using some of the above comments.

1. MC and gather as usual
2. Follow your abom. closely, you may aggro some trolls but stick close to your abom.
3. When your abom. is low on life, use flatulence
4. Explode AFTER each and every single troll recovers from the flatulence ability. If there is even a single troll that is still in the stun animation, you won't get credit for any of them. As long as you're close to your abom., you should get credit.

Commentaire de 323256

This is an poorly designed quest, so far I have yet to find a method that gives you credit everytime, standing close, standing far, small groups, it's just randomly gives you credit.

Commentaire de 199713

you can take 5 without any problem + getting credit for it

Commentaire de wowhead100

Blizzard should fix it so you get credit even if the fart hasn't faded yet on the trolls, this quest SUCKS cause of that....I suggest you just pass this quest by...

Commentaire de 369852

don't use flatulate at all -- this is what bugs it out... had no problems using this method.

Commentaire de Conal

It's sad to see so many people still having difficulty with this quest (i.e. not getting credit for kills). I've finally been able to do the quest after having abandoned it during beta testing and on 2 previous alts, and after trying some of the suggestions listed here (none of which worked for me).

Simply put, it occurred to me that since it's necessary to blow up the abomination to kill the trolls then the abomination itself must have as much health left as possible before exploding to do any kind of damage. Maybe I'm over-thinking things but picture if you will a firecracker and a stick of dynamite? Which would do the most damage upon exploding?

So, what I did was round-up about 8 or so trolls at a time (while staying nearby the action), use flatulate and wait for the trolls to get back up and then use burst on them---all the while making sure that the abomination's health never went below 33% (or as close as I could estimate by sight).

This worked like a charm and I finished the quest in no time flat.

Commentaire de 333467

I haven't seen anyone mention it, and I guess I just didn't read the quest-information thoroughly enough - but you have to be in disguise-mode in order to use the rod on the abominations. If you use the rod on them without being disguised, you'll get attacked by them.

Commentaire de Luckbox

95% certain there is no method to this madness. No matter what "techniques" or "tricks" I've used for this quest since WOTLK came out, I get mixed results and I think the final answer is that this quest was just designed like #$%^ and it doesn't work whenever the @#$% it feels like it. Just gather up 4-5 at a time and explode to save yourself the frustration of gathering up a lot only to get nothing. You might not get something when you only get 4-5 but it takes less of your time.

Commentaire de Rille

This is probably the most annoying quests in Northrend. It's half past impossible to get the actual "kill" for the mobs. Twisted and tried a lot of things but it almost seems random.

Commentaire de pipboy650

Absolutely the most annoying and %^&*ed up quest in Northrend.. Blizz must have been on crack when they came up with this. After 52 minutes of killing at least 200 of thoose damned trolls, i finally got my 60 kills. The weird thing is that used the same method all the time. It didn't even work 50% of the times i tried.. Pathetic if you ask me.

Commentaire de 383482

I've never actually posted on Wowhead, but this quest encouraged me to do so. I see a lot of people are having problems getting kill credit (as did I).

The trick is (well, this way I consistently got kill credit, anyway): round up some trolls by spamming Flatulate (not too many, a big group might kill your Abomination before you have a chance of exploding), and just before you plan to explode, position yourself between your Abomination and an object that would keep you from flying away. The little wooden barriers are ideal for this. Make sure you can't fly over the object you're hugging, wedge yourself in nice and tight while keeping close to your Abomination.
Since your Abomination will be on Passive status, and follows you around, it might be tricky to position yourself correctly, since your Abomination will most likely just go and stand next to you. Putting it on defensive mode (so that it stands still and tanks the trolls) helps here. Make sure you're standing right next to it as you explode, the wooden blockage should keep you from flying away, you stay right next to your Abomination and you should get credit for every kill.

I wasted 45 minutes on this quest before I found the way to do it, but beating the quest was SO worth it in the end.

Hope this works for everyone!

Commentaire de 141922

This is another annoying quest in this chain. The chain starts out alright but by the time you get to this .. you are just to worn out to do this crap. And 60 is too many.

Commentaire de shadowstevens

I've found the following technique useful (yes, even if you're not a tank class):
1. Make your Abom attack the first mob you come across.
2. Once tagged, click on the next mob you want to attack.
3. Click on the Attack button.
4. As your Abom starts moving toward the next mob, hit the Fart button. This knocks down the first mob so you don't get hit while the Abom is moving from one mob to the other, which I found was the biggest drag on the Abom's hp.
5. Once the Abom tags the second mob, repeat steps 2 - 4 to tag more mobs.
6. Explode the Abom when you think it's about to die (1/4 health is a good indication).

With this technique, you can easily round up and kill groups of 8-10 trolls per Abom, even across "camps" since you don't get hit that much when moving from mob to mob.
Of course, if you're not a tank class, stay well away from the action to make sure you don't get sucked in!

Commentaire de 5612

Agreed. This quest seems bugged for me. I simply am not getting credit for the kills I am making.

All of the mobs are in range, I just don't get quest credit for the kills when my pet explodes. I've also gone down 50k xp per hour since starting this quest.

Unless the rewards are a huge upgrade for you, skip it. It's not worth the gigantic headache.

Commentaire de 28144

ok i dont know if this is totally confirmed but it was the case for me.

the troll area right next to where the aboms are located, for some reason when u blow up those trolls they dont give credit.

what i found is u gotta take your abom over to the areas to the right side.

for some reason ull get credit for the trolls on the right but the trolls straight ahead wont give credit.

Commentaire de Lince

Seriously, they still havent fixed this quest?...You kill 15 trolls and get credit for1. GG

Commentaire de 17418

As of last patch this quest seems to be fixed, I've done it on four different characters till now each having a frustrating time, when I tried it on my warrior at the time of writing i have currently killed 36 trolls and got credit for all of them.

Edit: And then jinxed it by writing this comment, 8 trolls in an explosion and no credit for any.

Commentaire de totemmunkey

Okay, this quest was extremely bugged for me as far as kill counts go, but I THINK I figured it out because once I started using this strategy all kills counted without problems. Here's what I did.

Send your abomination at the trolls to round them up.
Use Flatulate and (here's the important part) WAIT for Flatulate to finish its cooldown completely, THEN hit Explode.

I don't know if that's the answer to the entire problem, but hitting explode after Flatulate finished its cooldown always counted the kills. Now we just need some confirmation.

Commentaire de 163020

This is not "fixed" because it's ok.

THE SECRET IS TO **************NOT************** USE **********YOUR******************** ABILITIES (only the "pet"'s) DO NOT EVEN AGRO THEM.

LET ME REPEAT: DO NOT EVEN AGRO THEM. (by yourself, only through the "pet")

Just stay in a place and... remote control.

I bet hunters are better at this.

Also use keys.

Also: Just do that: Send to Mob - spam AOE - send to mob - spam AOE - ALWAYS HIT AOE WHEN IS AVAILABLE WHILE RUNNING.

when you have about 20l *TWENTY", not more. hit blast.

WAIT FOR THEM TO STAND UP AFTER THE AOE BEFORE HITTING NUKE.

Commentaire de Byobong7

This quest is just simply bugged, there is no reliable way to get credit for the kills that I found. When I did it last about half of the time I would get credit, tried several different tricks they all failed at least once. When the expansion first came out this quest worked fine, some patch must of broken something about it. If you really want to finish this chain just keep trying, it will eventually work!

Commentaire de 145425

Absolutely one of the worst bugged quests in existence right now. Not doing it will lock you out of an otherwise fun and rewarding quest chain. Doing it involves a handful of luck and a lot of patience. I've just blown up about 10 groups all in more or less the same manner, and it only registered kills for 2 explosions.

I've done this on my alt, so I know it can be accomplished... but it will take you probably the better part of an hour. I never found any "sweet spot" or special timing, it is purely luck. GG, Blizzard.

Commentaire de 20394

I am sure I am not the only one who has been frustrated while doing this quest. Like everyone else, I came here to look at what I was doing wrong! There are a lot of 'secrets' to this quest posted here, but none of them seem to work with any kind of repeatability. So I decided to ignore all of them, and I looked at this one from a WoW pet mechanics angle.

If your pet does 100% of the damage to a mob, you will not receive kill credit when they die. However, if you do some damage to the npc, or the npc instantly dies without taking any damage via a pet ability, you will get credit.

Since you can not attack the npcs without losing your disguise, and consequently your pet, you need to have them instantly killed with the ability that does no damage BUT will give you credit for the kill! So after trying every single 'secret way' to do this quest correctly, I simply put my pet on passive, ran in and grouped them up myself - DO NOT USE THE KNOCK DOWN ABILITY - and detonated the Abomination. Credit every single time~

Edit: MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A DAMAGE SHIELD BUFF ON YOURSELF OR THE ABOMINATION.

Commentaire de 393129

Nice idea, made me complete it very fast :)

Commentaire de Janettie

If you have a problem with people stealing your kills, keep in mind that your abomonation explosion will kill theirs, and knock them back.

Normally I don't stoop this low, but the option is there :)

Commentaire de c0h3n

I'm thinking that perhaps the reason that everyone has their own little "secret" that "makes" it work is because the quest randomly either does or doesn't reward credit in little strings. For instance, I thought the "gather them yourself" strategy worked, until I had a few more strings of no credits. It seems to me the credit may have nothing to do with anything we have control over.

Commentaire de baterdanface

This is just a stupid quest that everyone should abandon unless you're working towards completion achievements.
It's one of the most buggy quests i've come across on this game.
I've tried a couple methods, which involve
1. Using the abom itself to aggro a few (ranging between 1-6).
2. Putting the abom on passive and aggroing them myself (ranging between 1-6)

It seems the game just decides whether you should get credit or not, there are no secrets to completing this quest. Either you get credit or you don't, you just have to keep trying, in which case a quests mechanics which should only take 10 minutes will sometimes take twice or thrice that time, sometimes though, you will get lucky and get credit completely.

Commentaire de hypehuman

Thanks for the tip Hothgor! Just wanted to point out that any damage shields (like Thorns) will mess up this strategy, so turn them off.

Commentaire de 411145

Here's the secret to getting the kills: You have to be close enough, but if you are too close you will get blown away by the blast and by the time they die (which is slightly later than the explosion) you will be flung away and not get credit. So basically, have him round up things, then make him come to you and then go to the other side of him (so that the ghouls are between you and him). Make sure you can see the enemy bars (press v if its not on), and try to get on the edge of the range of seeing the health bars (try to get as many as possible!) Explode. If you did it right you should not go flying anywhere, and the ghouls will. You will be within range of all of them (as long as you see theri health bars when they die, you are in range) and get credit.

Commentaire de 365423

This is one annoying quest. Go to 32:36 Frigid Breach and pick up your bloated guy then go into the troll area. I tried most the suggestions on this page nothing seemed to make that much of a difference. Number killed, bloat on passive etc, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.

However, I tried sending my guy in, as I picked up trolls I farted them down. Got about 8-10 of them, farted, and once they are up and attacking, explode. Got credit every time.

Oh, and be careful, if you get greedy and pick up to many trolls and let your fat guy die, they all run after you. Great fun.

Commentaire de Velicia

Just did this quest, and had no problems. As per advice on the comments, I did NOT use flatulence, I just rounded up 4-6 trolls and blew the monster up. If you're having trouble, that might be it.

Commentaire de 176707

This quest is still completely broken. I've used the abom as a tank. I've used myself as a tank. I've exploded immediately after flatulence, after waiting a few seconds after flatulence, and without using flatulence at all. I've exploded while standing far away, and while standing directly on top of the abom. Whether or not you actually get credit for your kills appears to be completely random. I've actually killed about 75 of the stupid things, but I've been stuck on 27 credits for my last three aboms.

EDIT: All told, it took me almost an hour to do this moronic quest. I got kill credit on less than half of the aboms I exploded.

Commentaire de 25678

I've done this quest five times and the first four times everything went smooth. Didn't have to do any "tricks" to get kills or anything. On the fifth time I wasn't so lucky. This time I am playing a warlock, who happens to have its own pet. Suddenly I only get credit for kills every three times or so, no matter what I do. Even when doing it the exact same way I've always done or trying some of the above mentioned tricks I have problems.

If you're a pet user, most of these quests will bug out in some way. No tricks worked for me, I just patiently had to redo this until I had my kills.

This doesn't always work - I used exactly the method described on my warlock and only recieved credit about 50% of the time even with the abom on passive and without using flatulence at all. Shame that a quest that could be so fun is so horridly bugged : \

Note that you have no way of deciding where to land, so you might, like I did TWICE, land petless in a new group of trolls and get killed.

Commentaire de Eximius

I'm level 80 Hunter doing this to pass the time, earn some gold and get the Achievement for the zone.

Spent 45minutes reading every post here and in 19 tries, ive had one attempt give me credit, this is ridiculous. I've dismissed pet, used no aspect, aggro'd myself, everything. Seriously Blizz, Sort this quest out.

EDIT:
Lol 5minutes after sending this I completed the quest, what I changed was

Made sure all Aspects and Trueshot Aura was de-activated

Gather them myself, using "Flatulate" once in a while to keep them off me

Boom

Commentaire de Danroo

Here's what I did:

Took control over a Bloated Abomination at 32-41 (coords) in Zul'Drak.

Auto-attacked some Drakkari Skullcrusher (just above the zoombies).

When I had some Trolls on me, I used Flatulate to stun them.

When I had like 15 on me, I used Burst at the Seams, got the credit, and started it all over.

Do so a few times and you will be finished soon.
And don't worry if it seems like no Chieftains spawn; they do when you first kill 20, then 40, and last 60.
Good Luck! :-)

Commentaire de Karly

Still having trouble with these quests, it's rather bothersome. I wish these would get fixed, I did this quest the first 3 times with no problems at all. Then my 4th time through the quest I got 21 Kill Credits easy, and then no more after that.

Commentaire de 434705

My take on this is that you must kill trolls that have not spawned in the area that you have recently killed in. I seem to get points for the trolls that are in areas i have not been to befoe. Maybe not, but meh anything to help with this impossible quest.

Commentaire de baalak

This quest is terribly annoying. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when you do and do not receive credit for the kills. (Definitely did not get fixed in 3.2.0) If you have only 1 left (59/60) you can just control one on the ramp that is already fighting and immediately use Burst at the Seams for quick cred.

Commentaire de 439106

I love you! <3

Commentaire de 299628

After extensive testing (read: frustration), I have determined that the game will not give you credit if you try to kill more than 15 at once. 15 = credit. 16 = no credit. This is the only major factor that affects whether or not you get credit for the quest.

Commentaire de buzzin6

I think they did something to help this quest, I'm having zero problems. Tame a Ab, run him in, pop. Piece of cake.

Commentaire de SoooWhoCares

I tried all the things mentioned and all the things not mentioned:
-using flatulate
-not using flatulate
-having initial aggro
-not having initial aggro
-letting the abo hit the mobs
-not letting the abo hit the mobs
-initially blowing up the abo near trolls
... and I got 0 kills so far. Any thinking about this quest is useless. It's just horribly bugged. I used all my options in any possible combination. After this I joined a warlock who was so mad about that that he grieved by killing all the abos whenever they spawned. So the other players couldn't control them. Of course they hated us for that but the quest isn't any better when speaking about hate.

Later you will receive a quest in Icecrown that uses the same abo with the same stupid problem and you know what ? It's a daylie. Hf.

*caugh* Q&A *caugh* *caugh* *caugh*

I may note that this type of quest was always bugged but at least it worked with my 2 other chars but strangely not with my mage (probably patch problems). A shame you can't just kill the trolls yourself. Would be faster and less trouble.

Edit:
And just now hitting the mob OR using flatulate worked... for no f*cking reason.

Edit 2:
I did the exact same things even at the exact same place that didnt work before and now they do. Ridiculous...

Edit 3:
Now everything counts. Yeah ! But for no f*cking reason still. Wonder why.

Edit 4:

Found out why: Don't put your pet on passive or kills don't count. That's the real reason. I guess there is some dummy spell or trigger that causes this problem.

Commentaire de 446531

Found a way that seems to work, here it goes:

1) Take control of your abomination
2) DO NOT change his stance, leave it on defensive.
3) Run and aggro some drakkari, this is the hardest part, make sure that the abomination does not hit them, so you'll be able to aggro 2-3 drakkari at time before abomination starts to hit one of them, group them and BOOM.

It's working well for me. Good Luck guys.

This quest should be removed from this game seriously , it just won worst game quest ever title.

Commentaire de Maxeek

After reading all the advices here, the one 100% working for me was not aggroing the mobs. Just stay behind and let your abomination do all the work. If even 1 mob looks at you, you have big chance you won't get the credit.

Agreed

All the GMs told me that it was an issue with my UI and to delete my WTF.
I just backed up my files and removed them from the WoW/Data folder and started it up, still didnt work.

However what I found is YOU HAVE TO DO DAMAGE TO THEM.
Use the AoE knockdown to do some dmg, then BOOM!

Also, for the similar quest in Howling Fjord, take off your weapon as a melee and whack them (For both the application of the plague part and the abom blowing up part).

The 'pet' doesn't seem to have an attack range. Just pick the farther troll out and let your 'pet' aggro all of them on the way and then select trolls in the same area for the pet to attack. It took me 20 trolls to figure this out though.

Commentaire de 457300

Do not grab more than 6 trolls at a time. You can occasionally grab a 7th or 8th, but if you do the chances of getting credit are lowered.

Commentaire de Xiffrudo

I've discovered in the Icecrown version of this quest that mobs will only count if your abomination had 20% or less hp before exploding and if the mobs aren't stunned.

Probably it's the same as Zul'Drak's =).

I think I figured this quest out, but this quest seems to be strange enough that this might only work for me.

The key for me was the knockback that you get from the corpse explosion. I had to position myself in a way that the explosion doesn't knock me back too far to get credit. It seemed like the kill credit is given after the knockback, not before. Maybe it is also possible to stay out of the knockback range, I didn't try that one though.

Hillarious quest :P

Just make the abomination your pet, send it in, and explode!

The chieftains will come after you have killed 20 - 40 - 60

Commentaire de 122037

Here's the strat i use, i've done this quest 5 times now...

Posses Abom

Ctrl 1 to a mob (attack) Flatulate when he mellee's, Ctrl 1 to next mob Flatulate, ctrl 1 next mob flatulate... so on and so forth till your aboms at about 4-5k hp... so about 12-15 mobs (depending on how well you timed your flatulate's) wait for them to start all attacking your abom.. and mouse click BURST AT SEAMS... once...

Rinse and repeat... its not a hard quest at all.. took me little under 5 minutes

Commentaire de 470738

i think now this q is broken...
coz i trying to tame this Abom, and it's dissmising after i tamed him ><

Commentaire de 206039

After several tries I had credit for just 3/60. After that I got 100% kill rate by just not using, ever, the Flautulate button.

Commentaire de 122037

Just did this quest again using my strat to start.. then i wanted to help these posts a little bit....

My suggestions... if your a healing class put abom on passive and collect them yourself... as a druid i could heal myself up (not in tree) to full without ever worrying about me dieing... they hit for... about 250~ on 50/50 leather/cloth... next... if your a tank put him on passive and gather them up... one of my friends was doing this quest just before i got there and he could pull alot.... like 20-30 each round... next tip would be, when you gather them yourself... use flatulence as much as you can, oh and dont click BURST AT SEAMS more than once... its still a lil buggy

Commentaire de Chibchub123

the BEST way i have found that works is to NOT let the abom take a single point of damage at the same time keeping him fairly close to you (within range of the item you use to control them), at least on the big pulls it seems, when i do this one at a time it doesn't matter i get credit 90% of the time.. but 60 times... UHG anyways... give it a shot and let me know if you have the same results... basically you have to have aggro on every guy, dont fart... successful up to 7 mobs so far. immediately after posting i began to have problems :) hopefully im just screwing it up try blowing yourself the same direction as the trolls too.

Commentaire de Grein

I noticed one thing when I was doing this quest, as long as I physically hit a mob (stunning them was not enough) using with the Bloated Abomination (default: ctrl-1) I was credited for the kill, any untagged mobs I didn't get any kill credit for.

Commentaire de 450768

Most of the 'tips' above haven't really helped me. The only two things I've found consistently are:

1. Stay just outside the explosion range of your abomination, so you're close enough to get the credit, but will not get throw in the air yourself.
2. Only click the explode button once.

Oh, and shielding or healing your abomination lets you pick up a lot more trolls in one go.

Commentaire de Jacktretbar

Easiest Way to Do It:

I'm a level 75 prot warrior.

Step 1
Put Abomination on passive and follow mode.

Step 2
Run through all the mobs you can get before dying. Wait until you have like 1-2k hp left for the next step.

Step 3
Hit the abomination's Flatulate ability then hit the Burst at the Seams ability as soon as it is available.

Things to be aware of:
Make sure your abomination is close.
Make sure you don't die.
Make sure you hit Flatulate before you hit Burst at the Seams

--------------------

If you do all this, you should get 15-20 per run (maybe more).

Commentaire de 18933

seems like they broke the stupid quest on me. I cant use the scepter until i'm too close to finish the stupid cast. When i do manage to get one, it says i leave combat and the pet disappears. ARG. cant even finish this quest chain

Commentaire de 487955

So yeah, the key seems to be not spamming the blow up button.

I tried being far away, not having the abom hitting them, etc. As long as I didn't hit the boom button more than once, I got credit every single time.

Then I grabbed an abom and sent him to one troll, had him melee for a few seconds, then hit the burst button twice... got no credit.

Don't spam the button and you should be fine.

Commentaire de martag

I had all the problems in the world while trying to do this quest! All but one tip worked when I was reading this page!

Press the explode button ONCE, and only ONCE!

I've done this quest line three times so far and every time this quest makes me frustrated because none of my kills would give me credit. Though when I found out that if you click the button once you will receive credit... I was ecstatic. =)

Press it ONCE! Do NOT double click !

Commentaire de 172937

I think its not killing them by the bomb fires or or wait till they are unstunned, i really think you hafto to kill them by the torches all over the area i tried it 4 different times and it seems to work near the torches, long stick with flaming skulls i ,did it and it worked fine with me. Hence the quest name Fuel the fire

Commentaire de pezz

But by the end of this hour I noticed the following: you need to be close to abomination when it blows mobs
AND
To stay close you need to position yourself near a fence or mountain to avoid knockback

So after having done this quest four times and having read all the comments on this page several times I can say this is probably the most useful advice I found.

There's typically a slight delay between when the trolls die and when the game decides if you get credit for the kills or not. If you fly away from your abomination at full speed you probably won't get credit, but if you do something to just slow yourself down slightly you can get credit. I once put myself up against a fence that wasn't high enough and I flew over it, but it did take me a few tenths of a second longer to fly away than if I hadn't even tried and I successfully got credit for the kills.

TL;DR: pretend you're a tank and put your back up against something.

Aside from that, only click the button once and don't explode while the flatulate debuff is up, and you'll be fine.

Commentaire de Koiero

it also seems to help with your abom has less than 25% hp

Commentaire de ElementStorm

100% BULLETPROOF STRATEGY
Okay, so this is how you do this insanely annoying quest:
Step 1: Gather 2-3 trolls
Step 2: Melee each one 2-3 times
Step 3: Cast Flatulate 2-3 times
Step 4: Wait a few seconds for the trolls to jump back up and cast Burst at the Seams, making sure you are only a few steps away from him.

I completed this quest in <10 min while using this strategy. I really hope it helps others :)

Commentaire de 483728

I just finished this on my third character and the only reliable way seems to be to melee each troll that you plan to blow up. If there's any trolls in the AoE that didn't get melee'd at least once by the abomination you won't get credit for any.

Commentaire de 513172

--- I tested this several times ---

Let me know if it does not work for you. It worked for 5 out of 5 times after a very frustrating quest.

Grab your abom and head out to the trolls, pick the furthest one in a group and have your abom head to that one to attack.

I ran with my abom and let the other mobs aggro him or me, didn't matter.

When he got to the furthest mob i hit Flatuate once to make sure he took aggro of all the mobs hitting us.

Then i just stood there and waited... and waited... and waited.... watch his health drop, do not move, hopefully he doesn't move and wait.. then hit explode.

Seems like no matter what i did or how i did it, if I did not give this quest some time while trolls were hitting abom it would not count them. I've tried every which way of doing this and this is the only thing that worked 5 out of 5 times for me.

Try it!

Commentaire de 215283

I have had the absolute worst luck with this quest, not to mention the "That's Abominable!" daily. The 100% absolute certain trick is to put your abom on "Stay" for about 5-10 sec as you run in and aggro, and while you're rounding them up, have your abom follow you. Then blow them up. It seems to me that your abom works as if someone not in your party tagged the mob, therefore you don't get credit if the trolls aggro your abom or your abom does any damage to them. Completely avoid this problem altogether by using this strat. Oh - and make sure your abom is on passive.

Commentaire de hotsteppa

Do your self a favor and abandon this quest, i just spent 30 mins and i have 9/60 kills... while i had actually ~150 ghoul kills, doesnt worth it.

Commentaire de 531987

A way to get credit for the kill every time is:

Blow up the Abomination when the Abomination is UNDER 20% HP! not yours, but the Abomination itself. Go download addons that shows your pet HP%. Pull about 5-6, using the stun as much as you can while you pull them with your abomination (it can die fast when you try pulling too much, and they'll aggro on you and you'll probably die)

I asked a GM about it because of a similar quest in Icecrown (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13289) and that's what I got as a response, and it has worked for me. Killed about 20 in about 3 pulls.

You do not have to be near any of the mobs as well.

But, because of the bad experience I had with this, I probably won't touch this quest again for a long time on my alts...

Commentaire de 339087

If you're an unholy dk with ghoul frenzy, i found that you can actually use this with the abom. Makes it pretty easy with your abom attacking faster and getting 60% of it's health back.

Can anyone confirm if this quest has been fixed on 3.3 or not?

Commentaire de 59459

CONFIRMED.

I have spent hours trying to work out why this quest never worked properly, and been checking here for months every time I've done the quest on alts.

The above definitely works and is the fix!

ONLY CLICK BURST AT THE SEAMS ONCE

This definitely works! was able to round up 20+ and kill in 1 go this way!

edit: thanks so much for the information, was going out of my mind on this quest!

Commentaire de 364767

For me, clicking the button once didn't work. However, as a shaman, apparently using Fire Nova does not break your disguise. So I used the abom to round up a load of mobs, dumped a fire totem and hit fire nova and then burst at the seams. Gave credit every time. So it appears as long as the player does damage to the mobs without breaking disguise it is guranteed to give credit. Else it seems to be random to me.

Commentaire de 548449

Failiest fail quest in the game.

Commentaire de 431013

As of March 1st, 2010, this quest doesn't appear to be giving me credit for the kills, when I kill them with the abomination, or myself either way. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

EDIT: Never mind. It seems to only not count if you kill too many at a time for whatever reason.

Commentaire de 554282

Here are my keys to this quest, they worked everytime and twice i got 6 of them.

1. Blow up the abomination in a open space. If the abomination blew up in the spot he was in without flying, i never got credit. Everytime he flew back and blew up, i got credit. I tried to fly back in the same direction as him, don't have to for credit, but found it worked best that way.

2. As stated before, be by him when you blow him up. I always stood behind him, not to close, but behind him.

3. Don't blow him up with a mob behind him, i found that sometimes he would blow up in place and i got no credit.

4. If there are mobs behind him, after he is attacking mobs, tell him to follow you (that way he comes towards you and the mobs will be behind him). Then have him attack a mob again and then blow him up (be behind him). I got 6 twice this way.

Commentaire de 554658

Alright, after blowing up 11 consecutive abominations and getting absolutely no credit, I finally figured out exactly what it is that causes you to get credit or not.

I tried everything else listed here: staying close to it, body pulling, getting hit with the explosion, not getting hit with the explosion, only clicking the attack once, none of it works. The Burst at the Seams attack does not say in the description, but it has a limit as to how many trolls you can blow up. Sure, it'll kill as many as you gather up, but you WILL NOT receive credit if you have too many trolls. After a bit of testing, the limit appears to be 10 trolls. If you round them up in groups of 10 or less, you'll get credit every time.

What a waste of 45 mins or so.

Commentaire de Shirlnha

Being a newcomer to Northrend (this is my first time playing through it), I've enjoyed pretty much every quest I've done so far, being at level 77 now. Some were more annoying than others, but overall they were still enjoyable. This quest, however, is just sadistic. I want to punch out whoever at Blizzard designed this quest. It takes forever. I would have skipped it entirely if this wasn't my first time through Northrend. Seriously, what was Blizzard thinking with this quest?

Commentaire de 379473

ok i VERY rarely add a comment unless i think it will actually add tangible benefit to those doing it that just have to go to many comments before you get a cut and dry way to do it so hope this will help pull all these comments into 1 step by step comment.

first go to the Entrance to the beach at 33, 42 - behind and to the right (if looking at the map) to Voltarus.

if you have a pet dismiss it. (though i'd suggest putting summon/call pet on a hot button in case you lose your abom and get aggro)

eat any food that give you extra buff use a fortitude scroll etc

when u r buffed pet dismissed etc, get as close to the entrance to the camp as you can and look for a troll as far as you can see. remember where it is. (if u have a flying mount its great to fly over the camp and find a troll pref across the whole camp from the entrance)

put on costume

find an abom thats not fighting a troll closet to the entrance. use scepter to take control of it. look at the aboms bar which is in the place a pet or minion would be. the only buttons u will need to remember and use are (in order left to right) the claw (attack) and the the button to blow him up. thats all

after you have him remember where the troll you scout was and start targeting the troll the furthest away that you can see when u have targeted it, click the attack. this will send him in a straight line over anything to that troll aggroing the others he passes. just keep targeting the farthest one as you stay close behind and watch his health. you too ca aggro trolls but if you do keep close to him or when you explode him, if they are not in his explosion range, you'll be left to deal with them. when his health is around 1.5 k get to the explode button and click it. don't get greedy. bc if you try to get those 2-3 more b4 you pop him and he dies, you're in trouble. you might only get 5 one time.. then 15 the next. sadly by the time you're done you'll have the process down well and are gettin 15. but you'll be done.

after you explode him, and you aren't in combat, click to take the costume to take it off. if u have bird, mount fly back to where you started,

if you just put the costume on right when you have scouted where you want to go and put it on when you're ready to get you abom, it'll never come off.

rinse and repeat.

it is not a fat quest. like i said, just don't be greedy, be patient and you'll get it done faster than if you try to blow 30 up at 1 time

* side note--- i got confused about the chieftans. you don't need to worry about them. they automatically spawn every 20 kills and a bat thing comes and swoops them up

Commentaire de noobpwnd3

Am I the only person who this quest seems to keep bugging for? Every time I use the rod on the Abomination, their either hit me (thus interupting the rod). It doesnt do anything to dead bodies. If they're fighting trolls then I use the rod they'll become controlled and then despawn moments later without having a chance to do anything...

Anyone else getting this problem? :/

Commentaire de 207099

Use the Scepter of Command on a Bloated Abomination close to the entrance.
It will turn "blue" as your pet and the pet bar will appear.
If the pet bar doesn't appear then you are probably using bartender4 as I used.
Either you turn bartender4 off b4 doing this quest
or you use CTRL 1 to direct your pet (the Bloated Abomination) to a Drakkari Skullcrusher. Once your pet is attacking one - direct it to the next (again CTRL 1).
Stay in range with your pet.
You may direct your pet to probably 5-8 Drakkari Skullcrushers, then you hit CTRL 5 (explode).
Just have an eye on the health of your pet. Make sure you explode it b4 it dies.

A chieftain appears every 20 Skullcrushers that you smashed. Don't worry about them, someone takes care of them. Just go and control the next Bloated Abomination.

One of the most frustrating quests in the game. 60 kills is WAY too many and you don't get credit half the time either.

Commentaire de 290733

As now.
Use choker to get cammo
Tame abomination
Send it to pull and keep some mobs
You can heal your pet but if you do for sure one of mobs will target you
You cannot buff your pet (BoK, BoM)
If you start to fight you will loose disguise and your abomination will phased out, mobs will go for you
If you kill mob (even hurt by abomination) it doesn't count for quest
You cannot tame another abomination when you are being hit by mob, chanelling is lost.

Commentaire de Sunreaver

I'm doing this quest for the second time now (first was when WotLK first came out) and wanted to point out that the targeting distance has been greatly decreased. Originally you could stand by the edge of the camp and move your abomination all over the place. Now you can only move it so many yards from where you are and the targeting cursor turns red, effectively meaning that you now must run around the camp with the abomination. No idea when this change was made.

Commentaire de ziggy29

I was having trouble getting credit for a while too, but when I stopped far.... uh, using 'flatulate' I did a lot better. I switched my shammy to resto spec and cast earth shield on the abomination I controlled. One by one I had it attack the trolls -- target one, then find another and another -- and when it had a train of 5-6 of them all aggroed on it (the earth shield easily kept it alive)..... BOOM.

Once I did it that way, I never failed to get credit for about the last 50 kills.

Commentaire de 816579

I didn't have a problem getting credit for kills as long as I was fairly close to the abom (not right on top of him, but not too far) and I used explode. Having the abom kill the troll with any combo of melee and flatulence did not give me credit. Unfortunately, I'm a clothy mage so I could not run around and aggro the trolls myself. I made my abom aggro a pack by using the "move to" command. If he only aggroed 1 or 2 trolls I'd use flatulence to stun them and then have him "move to" a new spot. This was frustrating bc if they hit him again before he had run away, he wouldn't move to the new spot (hence the use of flatulence, but timing was tricky). 3 or 4 was the max I could aggro before I was in danger of the abom dying before I could explode him. I didn't fight it, just killed 3 or 4 at a time and got a new abom. Took a while, but not as long as running back from the graveyard the time that my abom died and all the aggroed trolls turned on me.

edit to add: BTW, while (as people have mentioned), getting hit by trolls does not break your disguise, attacking does and if your disguise breaks, so does your connection to the abom and then its trolls turn on you.

Commentaire de 617575

GUIDE:

I've done this on two toons now, and it worked perfectly so far. This quest is tedious, but not bugged.

1. Walk over to the beach area.

2. Target a Bloated Abomination.

3. Right click the Scepter of Command and don't move until you're done casting and the abomination's bar is blue.

4. Put the abomination on Passive.

5. Walk into the troll area and find a group of trolls. Be sure to stand just outside of aggro range.

6. Click 'Move To' and then target the center of the trolls.

7. When he gets there, put him back on Defensive.

8. Quickly knock them down with Flatulate.

9. Wait until the trolls get back up and explode the bastard with Burst at the Seams.

10. Trolls die.

11. When you've killed 20 trolls, a chief will appear and attack you. Don't worry; he doesn't damage you and you can't even hit him. A bat-thing will appear and carry him off. Just stand there and laugh at the chiefs dialogue.

Repeat 1-11 until you're done. It takes about 15 rounds to get 60 trolls.

PRO-TIPS:

a. The abominations have low health. If they're attacked by a few trolls on the way to where you've moved them, it could die before killing them. If he gets about halfway, make him fart and explode, even if it means only killing one troll.

b. If the abomination dies, the attacking trolls will attack you. Hitting them means losing your disguise, so just run back to where the abominations are and they'll dispatch the trolls for you.

c. Killing trolls yourself doesn't count. :/

d. Make sure that you're wearing your disguise.

Commentaire de SmeTskE

After killing about 40 trolls, I still haven't received a single kill credit. I did tag the trolls with the abomination using the knockdown skill, they received a dot and after exploding the abom, no kill credit.
The Abomination dies really quickly as well when there are about 5 trolls hitting it.

seems to be working funny again, i've done this quest a few times but I have just recently leveled an alt through this quest and for some reason no matter how many trolls I rounded up and exploded I only got credit for 3 kills. so it makes it a bit time consuming only killing 3 at a time

Commentaire de Berrenger

My tactic is to put the Abomination on passive, then run around gathering up as many trolls as possible before exploding them. I generally am able to gather 8-10 trolls before I have to hit the explode button.

Commentaire de Beace

I dunno if the quest has been adjusted somehow in 4.3, or if I experienced some glitch. I did my first pull and blew up at about 8-10 ghouls, like I always do. Only this time I saw the counter run all the way from 0 to 60 in that single explosion.

I'm only happy about it, this has been one of the most annoying quests in game.

Commentaire de Effectrix

My abomination had abandoned me (possibly because of distance), and I had to kill all of the trolls that he had pulled on my own. They did not give me any credit me any credit. However, upon using my abomination to kill another one, I earned credit for all the previous ones as well.

I'm guessing that this quest has been seriously nerfed in the last patch or so. I've done it many times before (and died many times each attempt). Tonight, I was killing 6 or 8 mobs with every abomination. Two or three abombs and a Chief would show up and get carried off. I took no damage at all.

I've never managed this quest so easily and quickly. I doubt that my skills have improved that much. Try it and see; perhaps it will work better now.

I just completed it in... 3 minutes? Yes, something like this. At first I was like 'Oh boy, 60... and that explosion only killed 3. This is going to be long grind...' Then I aggroed maybe 6 or 7 trolls (I'm 85 doing loremaster), lured em near abo and detonated... My counter said...25/60! Did not used any other abo abilities, just let it fight one troll, aggro all the others and do a big boom!

I was getting ready for the headache that is this quest only to get a really awesome bug! I round up 10 - 15 and blew him up and got credit for 55, yes FIFTY FIVE.

Needless to say I was very happy.

Oh this seemed to have happened with the quest in Howling Fjord where you have to do the same. At first I thought I just got all of em in one hit but this quest seems to have confirmed both are bugged.

Blizzard, please don't fix :D

Commentaire de Aezephyr

Yeah, this one was a pretty poorly designed quest and I came here to see if I could get some pointers.

At first I had pet on defensive, and it would stop and fight with the first troll that we'd run into. really lame to blow up one or two of them and then have to do it all over again.

Switched pet to passive and was able to round up a whole lot more - made life much better.

This is probably obvious to players who play pet classes, but it wasn't to me. I'm a newbe and haven't played a class with a pet before. As "passive" is only mentioned in three of the posts previous to this one, I'll repeat it again.

Commentaire de fordahord

Wow, has this quest been nerfed or what...?

I've done this one many times before, on many different toons. Each time it has taken a great deal of effort, with many failures (and deaths). I'd send in the Abomination to gather up trolls, but he'd die before killing very many, so I had to settle for only 4-6 at a time.

This time around, I only used three (that's right: THREE) abominations total, killing way more than ten trolls each time. There seem to be more trolls, the abomination doesn't die as easily, and the trolls aggro more quickly. If it stays like this, it's gonna be an easy peasy quest.

Commentaire de 1014074

Easy quest. Just control an abomination and send him to attack while standing safely at the edge of the camp. Try to aggro as many drakkari as possible, then blow them up. The chieftains will appear, but you don't need to kill them - they will be grabbed and taken to Voltarus (I assume) by a bat-like creature.

Just a side note: If you're having trouble getting the abominations to actually do the commands, try again,don't attempt to kill the skullcrushers yourself. I did this, but it was only after my tenth that I realised that I WASN'T GETTING THE CREDIT!

Commentaire de laura18streeter

Actually after all this reading I found it easy.
1. get disguised
2. get one of the big guys
3. run around to tag the Drakkari till they follow you - tank/kite them
4. get back to your pet
5. flatulence once
6. explode once
did whole thing in about 15 minutes and was lucky to get 3 chieftains in it

Commentaire de AeronPeryton

'What's the point of "luring" a chieftain?', I said to myself. I started the quest, got one Chieftain angry, thought there would be a fight, but he just screams and stands there and I get ticked for 1 out of 3 chiefs lured.

I shrugged to myself. Okay, I don't care what it means as long as I get credit for doing it. And as I'm walking away to get another abomination I turn around and look up and see the chieftain who was yelling being (pretty comically) carried away by a giant bat.

I laughed.

Control the abomination, run him into a crowded area, explode. And what I did was wait until the trolls went after him and then moved him to different crowded areas while he still had some health. More kills, saves time. (Also saves you from prolonged exposure to the abominations uncovered behind)

If you're doing this at lvl 90 like me, don't attack anything because it breaks your costume :|

Commentaire de 9361984

There seemed to be a bug when doing the quest in patch 6.0.1, I took out 7-9 trolls from one explosion and got credit for more than 40 in the quest-log, so at the end it took me two explosions to complete this quest.

The tool tip on the Scepter in game is wrong. Abominations will despawn at 1 minute.

Commentaire de Jhakuzi

For me, this is easy one of the most annoying quests in the whole game, together with the Gymer one. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, but either my abom keeps despawning or I don't get credit for any of the mobs I kill.

Commentaire de VulcanTourist

Suggestions for easy completion:

1. Ignore the first "pet" attack type ()! It will not help you.
2. Put your new "pet" in passive mode, not the default defensive. Have it just follow you around and not get distracted by what attacks it. This is crucial because you want to draw in as large a mob as possible for what comes next.
3. After you have collected as large a mob as possible - usually at best from groups around two adjacent campfires because they will abandon attacking you if you stray too far from their "home spot" - then detonate your pet using the one useful attack type (). If you're lucky, you'll take out more than half the target number at once.
4. The three chieftains spawn for each group of 20 killed, so if you do kill 40 or more in a single blast, then two will spawn in sequence nearby. For each one there will be a brief aerial kidnap cinematic; you are merely an observer and don't need to do anything.

It only took me three possessions to complete the quest. I was quickly getting confused and frustrated before I came here for advice, which helped me understand what to do. I hope I have condensed the earlier advice into something concise and easy to follow.

Commentaire de LadyTrouble

I am a warrior. My problem with this quest is I never get a pet bar and the work-around for the previous part of the quest doesn't work for this. Consequently, I have no way to control the Bloated miscreant. Now THAT'S what I call frustration!

Commentaire de Xistt

I could not use the scepter as a death knight. It just did not do anything. I killed twenty or thirty skullcrushers and had zero credit, so apparently you need the bloated abomination to kill it for credit. I ended up abandoning the quest.

Commentaire de Drougen

Not sure the exact ratio, but killing one troll is not equivalent to getting 1 kill in the quest credits. I was worried I'd have to actually collect 60, but 2 aboms with about 5-6 trolls each pull did it for me.

Commentaire de gastyne

I had a problem where the abomination was de-spawning as soon as I got control of it.
But I managed to find a way to cheese this quest.

I pulled as many trolls as I could, pulled them close to where the abominations were at, and i added him to the group, then I took control of him with the quest item.
As soon as you get the pet bar, use the ability that blows the abomination up and the trolls will die.
You might have to use the item a few times because if you get hit, the channel will get interrupted, and you have to be real fast to blow up the abomination before he de-spawns.

Hope this helped if you were having the same problem as I did.

Commentaire de Wowcrypt123

With the new Battle for Azeroth stat squish, this quest takes a LOT longer to do. The abomination has no where near as many hitpoints as it had before, You can heal the abomination somewhat but after you pull about 4 enemies it'll die no matter what you do, unless you're level 110 or something. Best advice, don't pull more than 4 enemies at a time, or else the trolls will immediately attack and kill you as soon as the abomination dies. This quest is no longer any fun since Blizzard nerfed the abomination hit point pool. Hopefully they fix it someday. I remember back in WotLK when you could pull 40 trolls all at once without the abomination dying.

Commentaire de Aubkabob

So that people that are doing this quest in BfA and later have a lot less stress than I did when my abom would disappear the second I would take control of it:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE WEARING YOUR SCOURGE DISGUISE FROM THE ENSORCELLED CHOKER. If you do this, you can drag that sexy beast all over tarnation and explode him once you pull a group.

This info was pretty buried, so I followed the next best advice, which was to try to round the trolls up and pull them outside the first gate to the abomination area, then take control of the abom. Most of the trolls I pulled would turn around and run back, netting me about 1-3 trolls per pull. After 50 freaking trolls and seeing someone in a scourge disguise happily trot their bloaty ball around, I dug deeper and found posts buried deeply stating the disguise needs to be in place in order to be able to do this.

One more pull, in disguise, was all it took.

Commentaire de whquaint

As some have said DO NOT DO THIS QUEST. SKIP IT. It's not longer doable in any reasonable time frame in BfA.

Blizzard, please fix.

Commentaire de Hbombvegas

BFA: Level 120, Time Completed: 17 minutes

1. Go into the main area at Frigid Breach past the wooden gates with Drakkari Skullcrushers.
2. Use your Enscrolled Choker to don your Scourge disguise.
3. Run around collecting the trolls in the first area around the fire. 9 total.
4. Pull them out slowly to a Bloated Abomination in front, to one on the right hand side. Control him with the spell available.
You will then have a pet bar for the abomination, use the explode mechanism and it will instantly kill them.
5. Mount up and fly over to the right side of the area, all the way to the back fire, don your disguise and
collect those 5, then the other 4-5 at the nearest fire running back towards the abominations out front.
Repeat: control abomination, explode.
6. Now you will control an abomination out front and walk him all the way straight, North to the back enclosed area with 2 wooden
gates. Run around and collect the trolls, 9 total. Explode.

Repeat cycle steps 1-6.
By the time you do your 3rd explode rotation (step 6), the trolls nearest the front will have respawned (step 3)

-Save time by flying in and using disguise and running them out.
-You can't pull trolls from too far back or you will lose them, best to bring an abomination to them
-You may have to pet ability knock them down first before explode if you are a lower level before abomination dies, unsure and didn't
test.
-Give a fly over before you start to get an idea of your range to the front gate.

I was working on Loremaster which this is a part of the Betrayer portion of The Empire of Zul'Drak. It's not difficult, it's just the mechanics are annoying. Hope that helps, comments kind of implied that this was almost impossible but it's definitely possible and doesn't take that much time - unsure if that applies to leveling range, from the sounds of it, it takes forever.

Commentaire de matt4077

I did this quest at a Level 66 Zandalari Troll, Ret Paladin. The mechanics are fun. I mean a farting abomination that explodes is a hoot. I didn't have any issues with the quest mechanics but the number of kills required is excessive and unreasonable. Drop it to 20 Skullcrushers and 1 Drakkari Chieftain. These kinds of quest need to be fun not tedious.At least there is no improbable RNG involved.

Commentaire de genegerbread

If you're doing this quest at level 120, here's what to do to make it easier.
1. Get your Abomination that you're gonna use.
2. Click the follow button on your pet menu and aggro as many trolls as possible in your ghoul form by running into them.
3. Once you have a bunch of trolls and your Abomination is low health, have him explode.

Rinse and repeat!

Commentaire de nadiayorc

The quest is nowhere near as bad as it first seems.

Basically just set the pet to passive, collect a comfortable amount of Skullcrushers so you don't die then detonate the pet. Also don't forget to do it while disguised as a ghoul. I was able to get to 55/60 with what looked like only 10-20 or so enemies exploded in 1 go so not sure what's going on there.

Only took a couple minutes to complete at level 85. (somewhat overleveled as I'm doing Loremaster while leveling)

Commentaire de DaemoniKira

I'm using Zygor Guides to level. I thought they wouldn't steer me wrong. "They're gonna level me using only the highest XP quests that aren't a !@#$% and a half to complete. Because of course they would!"

!@#$ this questchain. I guess Zygor has it in the Leveling through Zul'Drak guide because it's part of the main storyline. I'll do without that achievement.

Commentaire de thanewb

What I did as a Level 120 in BfA for this for loremaster was once i tamed an abomination I put it into passive mode, if it's not on the bar you can find it in the pet spellbook by opening the spellbook and navigating to the pet tab. I recomend binding this. this allowed me to walk through the trolls and gather 6-10 of them at a time then blow up the abomination. Took about 20 minutes.

Commentaire de UltraGuyver

I honestly wouldn't bother with this quest unless you have a lot of time to kill and are the only one online in that zone when you do it. This will take a while anyway but with other players also doing it, it becomes almost comically frustrating waiting for more abominations to spawn, slowly waddling your way up waiting for the trolls to spawn and then racing to aggro them up and blow the abomination.
The is a ridiculous quest to put in an MMO.

Commentaire de RolandAllen

It's not that terrible as it seems in higher levels. You can bodypull at least 10-12 mob together, your Abomination can survive that, than Flatulence them and blast them with Plein à craquer.

Commentaire de choklad

This has to be the worst quest deal, in the history of quest deals, maybe ever.

Commentaire de silentlalita

The goal is to have your abomination on passive using the pet bar and gathering as many trolls as you can in one go before using the explodey ability to kill them. You can put shields on the abominations! On my priest I used Power Word: Shield on myself and my abomination so it could live as long as possible to gather trolls.

Commentaire de Shannonz

I completed this quest, but lost my scepter and I need to use it for another quest called sabotage. How do I get it again?

Commentaire de wackoh

This quest was sooo boring. I've been doing a few Wotlk quest as a lvl 120 warrior now, and i must say, alot of the quest in this expansion are very buggy and boring.
They drag on and are not fun to do :(

Commentaire de StoneLegion

Not sure if I'm the only one having issues but it seems like some mobs that you used / die, etc not sure what is happening come back from the dead and attack you. They show pet like damage all the sudden on them and they come running after you even when afk stealthed 10 minutes later... When nothing bound to you... Almost like some sort of strange phasing issues I'm not sure but besides this being the worst quest ever I got mobs coming from no where attacking me while doing it LOL

Commentaire de Marchenoir

- Control an abomination
- Set it to passive in the pet bar (check your spellbook if the ability is not on the bar)
- Aggro as many trolls as you can while your Abomination is following you by running into them, don't go too far or they'll just run back eventually
- Make the abomination blow up
- Every 20 kills or so a chieftain appears
- Rinse and repeat

Note that you don't get credit for kills if the troll didn't aggro you first.

It's boring and tedious but it works.

Commentaire de Garlin

You need to be in disguise or else your abomination will despawn in 2 seconds. Only NPC which are in combat with u are counted as kill for q. If you just blown up a guy next to the non combat npc u will not get point

Commentaire de Xemnuz

If only we could see a video of the developers of this quest do it themselves, disgusting design!

Commentaire de NickJ

You know how i know the devil is real? This quest exists. That's how i know.

Commentaire de Jogibearson

To make this simple,

1. Use your necklace to turn into a Ghoul again. If you don't do this, your "tamed" abomination will despawn after a second.

2. Use the scepter on any out of combat abomination

3. Set the Ambomination to PASSIVE

4. Go in, round up some trolls and then use the explode ability.

I'd suggest to go a bit further into the camp as the trolls have a higher density in the back and you can usually get 10-15 at once.
Just like every other comment on here; the quest design of this is insane garbage and good luck with your loremaster! :)

Commentaire de Spilledstars

Up here in 10.2 (dragonflight season 3) on a mere level 60.

I tested the strategies described above.

Without an abom
Kill them yourself alone? No credit.

If you have killed an abom the cursor for their corpse continues to be "scepter of command" but no, it does not make them get back up again and serve you. That's probably the best proof I know that your diluting the Blight in a previous quest worked.

Past this point just assume the phrase No kill credit includes
also turns off your disguise, which makes your abom disappear. Not that any dead trolls are going to rat you out though.

Trying to capture an abom who is already in combat
Tough timing. Either it dies or the foe dies before the channel completes. You either get an injured abom or an angry but almost dead troll.

Injured aboms do recover hp out of combat.

OK, i finally succeeded at this capture and immediately told it to Flatulate to stun the foe. The abom won, but I didn't get credit.

With an abom on ASSIST
Bzzzzzt no winning here. No kill credit.

With an abom set via the pet bar to PASSIVE

kill them yourself: no kill credit.
use Taunt to gather a crowd: no kill credit.
run around gathering a crowd because you are mostly immune, then Flatulate (for stun & tag), then Burst at the Seams (for kaboom & kills): this works. It's the originally intended slog I suspect.
command it to Attack one so the abom holds still and then run around gathering a crowd, bring it back, and just go straight for Burst at the Seams: Yep, this works. (so whoever said Flatulence was unneeded is correct, at least as of DF 10.2.)

With an abom on DEFENSIVE
Once your abom fights one it will not continue to follow you as you aggro other trolls. You can however round them up and bring them back to him for Burst At The Seams. This tactic works.

The limit to how many you can kaboom seems to be about bringing a crowd back before the single melee troll has killed the abom, with a few moments to spare for pressing your kablooey command.

If you try to round them up with Taunt instead of body pulling: no kill credit.

If you do not command it to do any of Attack, Flatulate, or Burst at the seams: also no credit, sorry, this seems nonsensical but that's the result.
Also it cannot handle melee'ing 2 without the interference of using its pet powers.

With an abom on no special setting, and commanded to ATTACK an individual Troll
It gets injured slowly but can kill a singleton, getting down to maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of its hitpoints. This works but is very inefficient.
While out of combat it does recover hitpoints. However, it disappears after some timer (and if your Scourge Disguise internal timer spoils, there's that too), so this definitely cannot be done with a single abom.

With no abom, gather up a huge quantity of foes, then come down and command an abom to destructo upon them
The trolls do have a pretty short rubber band distance but it's pretty easy to pick up anywhere between 3 and 10 at a time this way, depending on respawn rate.
Best results if you can channel the abom from above the pike-fence line.

Every 20 foes down calls a chieftain
You don't have to do anything at all to that guy. The counter for the quest applies when a chief is lured out, not when they're hauled off.

The troll stands and rants at you; the bat-thing swoops down from above and carries him away.

If you go past 19, 39, 59, the chieftain still comes to where you're at.
