In Headhunting, you hunt more Bloodscalp Trolls in northern Stranglethorn Vale, this time specifically their headhunters, and collect their  [Shrunken Heads] to determine if Yenniku has been killed by them. This quest is in a long chain, all available in Grom'gol, the first being  [10-30] Hunt for Yenniku which can be obtained from Nimboya.

Objectives

Obtain 25 Shrunken Heads from Bloodscalp trolls at the Zuuldaia Ruins.

•  [Shrunken Head] x25

Description

We must find if Yenniku is dead.

Slay the Bloodscalps of Zuuldaia and take from them their shrunken heads. You must gather many, many heads, and I will inspect them to make sure Yenniku's head is not among them.

And if Yenniku was killed by the Bloodscalps, then may a 600-year curse fall on the spirit of their chief, Gan'zulah!

Go, <name>. You will find the heads at the ruins of Zuuldaia, along the coast to the north.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Head Inspector's Gloves]			[Palm Frond Shoulderpads]
	[Junglestrider Sandals]			[Ring of Six Hundred Years]
	[Palm Frond Pauldrons]

You will also receive:

• 20
• 1,400 XP
• +250 reputation with Darkspear Trolls

Progress

<Name>. I fear for our chief's son. Do you have the shrunken heads so I may inspect them?

Completion

Thank you, <name>. I will inspect these heads to ensure poor Yenniku was spared the headhunter's axe.

Notes

Nimboya can be found near the northern exit of Grom'gol, near a bubbling cauldron. Bloodscalp headhunters can be found in their main city in the north-eastern part of Stranglethorn Vale and along the northern coast.

A single troll may drop up to five Shrunken Heads.

This quest should be done along with  [10-30] An Unusual Patron and  [10-30] A Nose for This Sort of Thing.
