Slaying the Two-Headed Beast

It was now time for us to strike at the leader of the Gordunni ogre clan, Cho'gall, who was hidden deep within the ruins of Dire Maul. With the aid of an army from the Stonemaul Hold, we interrupted their meeting and stormed their defenses.

Disrupting the Meeting

Cho'gall was powerful, but he couldn't handle all of us and we brought him down. Our tenure at Dire Maul was not over yet, however. Before we progressed further into the ruins once more, Udderwin and I had some business elsewhere to take care of.

Battling Cho'gall

Specifically we had reached level 40 and could now acquire epic mounts that run significantly faster than our old ones. I grabbed my new hawkstrider as soon as I arrived in Silvermoon City. Then, I used a teleportation spell that I had learned through my mage training to return to Orgrimmar immediately.

A New Hawkstrider

From there, I worked on my tailoring until Udderwin returned with his own new mount. Once he had arrived, we were now ready to head back into Dire Maul. We entered the Capital Gardens section this time to hunt down Immol'thar, a fearsome two-headed beast that has been the cause of much distress for the region. It was going to require a full party to bring him down.

Fighting in the Capital Gardens

Joined by Miaku the priest, Silabus the warlock, and Brenal the rogue, we battled through the Capital Gardens tirelessly in search of the beast. It was a long journey however, as the gardens were expansive in scope. We had to stop a couple times throughout the dungeon to let certain group members take care of real world business.

Rocking Out Awaiting Miaku's Return

Finally we encountered Immol'thar's chamber, but it seemed to be protected by magical energies. We needed to destroy several pylons transferring power to it before we could gain access.

Immol'thar's Chamber

With the barrier down, we were finally ready to do battle with Immol'thar himself. Our first attempt at bringing him down was close but we failed. His swarm of eyes overwhelmed us and took us out. It was clear if we were to defeat him we would need to make sure his eyes are eliminated first as soon as they spawned so that they did not slowly build up and overpower us.

Preparing for Immol'thar

Our second time we stayed clumped together so that I could cast my arcane explosion spell and be in range to take out all the eyes at once as they appeared. The strategy worked very effectively and we defeated Immol'thar this time. Udderwin and I also made new friends with Miaku the healer in the process.

Battling Immol'thar

The last of Dire Maul's tribulations were now behind us.
