Objectives
Place the Witch of the Wood's carcass on the altar and defeat a Warmonger in single combat.
- Harpy Placed on Altar
- Bloodtotem Warmonger defeated
Description
All Bloodtotem and distinguished guests must go through a trial of blood in the cavern beneath this outpost.
I hope it's a good sign that they wish you to participate in this rite of passage. You will need to show proof of your deeds, defeat a Warmonger in single combat, then perform sacrifice at an altar deep in the cavern.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 15 40 (at level 100)
- 15,050 XP (at level 100)
- +150 reputation with Highmountain Tribe
Progress
Are you afraid of the dark?
Completion
They said an outsider would wield the Hammer of Khaz'goroth. I doubt you could even lift it.
Notes
Upon accept, Oakin heads down to the Cave of the Blood Trial.
- Oakin Ironbull says: Meet me in the cavern below, <name>. They'll want to see the corpse of the harpy you slew.
A Bloodtotem Trapper and Bloodtotem Warmonger are standing outside the cave's entrance.
- Bloodtotem Trapper says: What must we give in return?
- Bloodtotem Warmonger yells: Everything!
- Bloodtotem Trapper says: I guess that isn't so bad...
This is a callback to the Warlords of Draenor opening cinematic, where almost the same exchange (minus the last part) occurs between Grommash Hellscream and Gul'dan.
Continue heading down into the cave:
- Oakin Ironbull says: <Name> is here to meet with Torok. <She/He> slew the Witch of the Wood.
Upon placing the harpy corpse on the altar, another Bloodtotem Warmonger appears.
- Bloodtotem Warmonger yells: A challenger? Let's see what this one is capable of!
Upon defeating the warmonger:
- Torok Bloodtotem yells: He went easy on you, outsider. Come, speak.
