Piercing the Shell
A verified Blizzard quest record. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Our quarry is one of the gorm, native creatures who were once helpful beasts of the realm, until the drought drove them mad. This particular beast has not only grown to a frightening size, but also has a shell so strong that none of our weapons or arrows have managed to pierce it. This spear you bring, infused with the anima of Bastion, could be the exact weapon we need to pierce the gorm's armor and put him down. My sister went ahead to scout. Let's not linger.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
