The Ring of Blood quests also got copy/pasted to Northrend it seems.
The quest text is the same as the the Ring of Blood quest, but the title is changed..

Lazy dev's.

Comment by Bareno

This is the Ring of Blood of Northrend apparently. (Check This post @ mmochampion for screenshots.)

According to the quick research I did, these are the order of the quests, from first to last:

# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Yggdras!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Magnataur!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: From Beyond!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Tuskarrmageddon!
# The Amphitheater of Anguish: Korrak the Bloodrager!
# The Champion of Anguish

A reference to Yggdrasil from StarCraft perhaps? or numerous others as well I suppose...

Most likely a reference to Yggdrassil, the world tree from Norse mythology (with that in mind, my guess is that this guy is some sort of treant or ancient). it seems to me that Blizzard is incorporating morealot of things from Norse myth (like the Jor$%^&ar, a reference to Jor#$%^and the world serpent), since WOLK is north-based, using aspects of Norse mythology seems appropriate for the setting.

Funny that no one has mentioned how to start this quest line yet. To start this quest line, look for a Goblin in the Dalaran sewers named Shifty. At level 75 you can pick up this quest: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12974

This quest leads to the Amphitheater of Anguish.

The Amphitheater of Anguish is at 48, 56 btw in Zul'Drak

Comment by Tresjin

Given that all the following quests are "Requires level 75", is the "Requires level 77" up there an error?

Comment by 223121

No idea what's going on but currently, my entire party is needing to start these one person at a time. Five kills on each mob. Nice.....

Comment by 28506

Funny fact: If you have completed The Ring of Blood chain, you will get this quest instead.

While they are almost identical, in the quest text of the one I linked the goblin tells you he'll be rich with a star like you coming, while in this one he introduces himself.

This seems to have a slight correlation to Yggdrasil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil , also an item in Ragnarok Online which is an potion equivalent.

I was scared a bit there, as my mage is called Yggdrassil :p
Awarded some lol's on guild chat aswell :x

Still havent done it, seems many people already did it, and if i ask if anyone can help, there is a silence :8

Jörmuŋgandr , alternately referred to as the Midgardsormr or World Serpent, is a sea serpent of the Norse mythology, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and the god Loki. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children, Fenrisúlfr, Hel and Jörmuŋgandr. He tossed Jörmuŋgandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so big that he was able to surround the Earth and grasp his own tail, and as a result he earned the alternate name of the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent. Jörmuŋgandr's arch enemy is the god Thor.

Soloable for a 75 Warlock (standard Felguard/Siphon Life build), with the FG tanking and being Healthfunneled and just a few dots (Curse of Weakness, Corruption, Siphon Life). At 3/4 through the game, Soulshatter and halve your aggro -- then you can dump Shadowbolts etc. on him to finish him off quickly.

However #2 in the fight is not soloable for me, at last not at 75, so that did not do me much good :)

Comment by Parolyzer

What's the money you make off each quest at 80?

Comment by berserke

Solo'd Yggdras with a 80 warrior geared in mostly ideal pre-naxxramas gear. Very easy fight. And you get 19g 50s for each battle completed @ 80.

Comment by canyoneagle

The quest giver is at the top of the first level, above the arena floor. There are several ways in, but once you are at the Questgiver's level, you can hang there without drawing aggro.

I Got a group together for this, on what became a pretty busy night. Alliance, horde, it was your basic lovefest. The first thing that (I feel) it is important to know is that EVERYONE can join in on your battle, and you can join in an anyone else's.
This can cause some very real confusion in the group, but it can also help your DPS if nothing else.

I would recommend a healer, although we seemend to survive without one (due to the fact we had 10 other people jumping in on the mobs).

Quite fun, actually.

Anyway, if you want to do this as a proper 5-main group, good luck. You will likely become overwhelmed with other participants, and it is imperative that EVERYONE turn in the quests together, and accept the new quests together, or it will rapidly fall apart.

On that note, the quest giver only shows the exclamation point when the arena is available. other groups can jump in before you, so try to stay alert to who 'has the floor'.

Finally, casters and ranged types can actually snipe the mobs from the area where the quest giver is, for what it's worth.

ENJOY!

Comment by Kurasu

If you are an achievement hunter, then whatever you do: do *NOT* start this questline without first picking up the quest The Champion's Call. Many people are reporting getting stuck at Zul'drak at 99/100 (or close to it), and that quest *does* count toward the achievement. If you complete the amphetheatre without this quest, it can no longer be picked up, and you will be forever out of a quest.

Comment by Sluimerstand

If you have a problem with the quest sharing when someone picks up this quest it's because the person starting the quest accepted it as a follow up from The Champion's Call!, if you accept the quest from him after closing the window (so by talking to him 'again') the quest will properly share.

I actually managed to solo this as a 75 Holy Pally. He hit me for an average of 1.2k and a crit of 3k. His corrode flesh ability hit me for around 2.3k, but the debuff was easily dispellable. I used Seal of Wisdom and Judgement of Wisdom in order to keep my mana up, but I still ended up with 1k mana out of 13k. I also did have to use both my Divine Shield and Divine Protection. All in all it took about 5 minutes, but I have proved that it is soloable by a lvl 75. Holy Pallies ftw!

Comment by roguexx

guys this quest like ring of blood ?

Comment by Ksero

I soloed this guy when my lock was 75, keep felguard out, dot and spam health funnel.

P.S. its fun to tag them for good exp when an opposing factions group is doing the quest.

Comment by Vuurvliegje

Note that u DO get xp from this quest although wowhead doesn't mention it, for me (at level 76) it was 32100xp each turn in. Hope this helps.

Comment by 338366

Was a close fight at a couple points, but solo'd this as a 77 Ret Paladin using LoH once and no bubble. I think I got lucky.. >.>;

Comment by Morrowlol

No-one has said how frustrating this chain is with other groups doing it at the same as yourself.
There's about a million things that can go wrong and make this event more drawn out than it should be, people tapping your mobs, people turning in quests too fast or too slow meaning people in the party are on separate steps.
It was an issue that was present in Nagrand but has not been attended, do yourself a favour and do this quest at the dead of night then there are no other groups about.

Comment by Lensman

A lot of people are reporting being stuck on 99/100 for the area achievement because they didn't pick up the starting quest for this chain but I am currently on 95/100 before starting the arena chain (6 quests) and therefore it IS possible to get over 100 quests without the starting quest.

Comment by GreatePier

Easily soloable for a Demo or 21/41 specced Warlock

Send pet in, dot once or twice and healthfunnel til Yggdr-really big worm dies.
You may add more damage if you like, just make sure you dont overagro your Felguard (or whatever demon you use)

Comment by Bogcom

I can't believe nobody hasnt answered this yet

Do you start the quest automatically when you pick up this quest?
Can you still LFG with this quest?

Comment by 370987

Soloed as a 75 enh Shaman, not all that hard just have to blow all your calldowns at once

Comment by 604118

If anyone is lacking quests trying to get loremaster achieve...each boss here counts as a quest.

Comment by 242004

Just solo'ed it as a lvl 80 BM hunter with my wolf. Was pretty straight forward and easy.

Comment by dasbaum

WOTLK Classic: First Quest would not share properly in a 5 man group.
Disabled addons -> same issue remained
Disabled pvp -> same issue remained
It would only share with player 1 and 5 OR with players 2 3 4

Found some old remarks about quest being buggy if continued from Champion's call prequest. All 5 player in my group did this quest though and it would still not share properly.

We did the first quest 2 times. All Quests afterwards sharing worked normaly.

TLDR: If Quest Sharing on 1st Quest does not work, just kill for everyone until all in party are on Quest 2.

Comment by easytoeat

I got to the area the boss wasnt there. I dropped the quest and picked it up again and the boss showed up.
