Starting Quests
The first three quests inside
Gulgrethor
Fortress can all be undertaken starting at level 16. The three quests
go together perfectly because they require you to kill mobs that can be
found in the same area.
Vengeance Will Be Yours requires you to collect 13 Trophy Hearts from
Gulgrethor Death Knights, casters, and Shinak
Death Agents. Remnants of the Soulless asks you to collect 6 soul
shards from fallen Death Knights and undead
Shinak Agents. Objects of Unknown Power sends you after 3 symbols from
the Torgazu Berserkers and 6 Raised Okami
organs.

Will Be Yours
of the Soulless
of Unknown Power
Agent Jargo laments that he cannot kill the Gulgrethor without blowing
his cover, so he asks you to kill 13 Gulgrethor and bring their hearts
as trophies so that he can "taste" their death. Hey, who are you to
argue with an orc who eats the hearts of his enemies?
Agent Nuraga notes that the Gulgrethor army should have been little
more than a skeleton force after all of the efforts of Clan Martok.
Turns out she was close. Many members of the Gulgrethor who swarm the
fortress are actually zombies, dead soldiers somehow kept animated by
Deathlord Vilonis. She wants you to collect 6 of the shards left behind
from the vanquished souls for her to study.
Agent Zyrax wants to use his specialty, the arcane and
necromantic arts, to discover how the Gulgrethor are reanimating slain
okami and transforming their soldiers into the mammoth Torgazu
Berserkers. The little goblin asks you to bring him 3 Torgazu symbols
and 6 organs from the Raised Okami.
The Mobs and Items
The first thing to understand is that you needn't go very deep into the
fortress to complete these three quests. Plenty of Torgazu roam around
the cave path where the quests NPCs are. You'll get the Torgazu symbols
fairly quickly. If you go right from the quest NPCs, slaying enemies as
you go, you will come to a path down. Take that to the front of the
fortress proper. Here you will find Gulgrethor Death Knights, Augurs,
and a flavor of pure melee. The Torgazu roam this area as well. You can
kill in the "courtyard" outside the wall until you have the 6 soul
shards and 13 trophy hearts. The map below shows the general layout of
where you are going:

style="border: 2px solid ; width: 650px;">
To find the okami, enter the archway to the inside of the wall. The
chamber in front of you will have 4-5 mobs plus some roamers. You'll
find one of each flavor of Gulgrethor, a Shinak Agent, and a single
okami. Continue straight and ignore the door to your left. Just watch
out for the roamers--one Gulgrethor from the left and a Torgazu from
the path ahead on your right. You'll notice an immense chasm ahead,
with giant chains tying down the tower itself and some platforms
overhead. The chasm is impenetrably dark, and smoke and fire is all you
see when you look down. I never had the courage to leap.
Turn right at the chasm and fight your way to the door to the right.
You may encounter a Coil Seeker as you approach that door. They're
nothing special. Just kill them if needed to proceed. When you come out
of the tunnel from this new door, you'll be outside the wall
surrounding the fortress again. Ruins and walls appear both left and
right. You'll find an assortment of Gulgrethor, Shinak, Torgazu, and
okami here. Stay here clearing the area until you have the 6 okami
organs. It may take a while. When I did the quest, I got one organ to
drop every 5-7 okami kills.
As long as you don't go up the ramp to the next area (marked as "To Map
#2" on the picture above), the mobs you face will be level 16-18
3dots, except for the Torgazu, which will be level 18 4dots. If you
recall from the overview, the Torgazu knock you to the right two paces,
so try to fight them with your right side against a wall. They can also
stun, as do the Gulgrethor melee and Shinak Agents. The Shinak can put
you in a serious stun lock if you let them get behind you. Of course,
Augurs are healers, so kill them first in an encounter with multiple
mobs. Then target the Shinak and Torgazu.

Gulgrethor and Shinak
for 13 Trophy Hearts to take to Agent
Jargo. Then play whack the pinata and beat on Gulgrethor and undead
Shinak until Cursed Souls come out. Kill the Cursed Souls and take 6 of
their shards to Agent Nuraga.

need to kill 3 Torgazu for their symbols to bring to Agent Zyrax. You
need 6 Raised Okami organs, too, but it may take 30 or more kills to
find them all.
Report to the Agents
when you have
completed all 3 quests. Agent Jargo will express his pride in you for
slaying the first 13 Gulgrethor, but he intends to send you after
bigger game next time. Agent Nuraga explains that she hopes to use what
she learns from the soul shards to stop Vilonis. Agent Zyrax is happy
to study the pieces you have brought him, and he will have more work
for you to continue his research.
