Bloodmaul Slag Mines

Bloodmaul Slag Mines

Dungeon ID: 385

Warlords of Draenor · Dungeon · Requires level 1

On the northern outskirts of Frostfire Ridge, the Bloodmaul ogres run a brutal mining operation amidst the sweltering heat of active volcanic caverns. Slaves from across Draenor are transported to the mines, never to leave alive. The Slag Mines produce abundant yields of gemstones and ore, but it is rumored that the true purpose of these mines is to dig for an ancient relic of immense power.

Encounters

Magmolatus

Copied!

The ogre geomancers of Frostfire pride themselves on harnessing the elements, but sometimes they overreach. Gog'duh has stoked the flames of his forge to new heights, driving Magmolatus into such a fury that it requires Gog'duh's full concentration to keep the raging slag elemental under control.

Overview
Forgemaster Gog'duh hurls two greater elementals at the party in an attempt to buy time. When the Forgemaster is critically wounded, Magmolatus escapes from the furnace and engages the party. Magmolatus periodically calls in Molten Elementals to assist him.

Slave Watcher Crushto

Copied!

This cruel ogre taskmaster oversees the mining operation within the sweltering pits beneath Frostfire Ridge. Slaves from across Draenor are delivered to Crushto's care, who views them as expendable and will not hesitate to bludgeon them into submission (or worse) if they step out of line.

Overview
Slave Watcher Crushto attacks the party with powerful crushing attacks that break the earth beneath him. He periodically calls upon Captured Miners to aid him, but some of the slaves take the opportunity to fight for their freedom and instead assist the players.

Roltall

Copied!

Roltall is a fearsome elemental conjured by Gug'rokk himself and tethered to the threshold of Gug'rokk's chambers as a final bit of insurance in case of a slave revolt. The fiery creature keeps eternal vigil in its appointed place, calling down molten rock to repel any intruders.

Gug'rokk

Copied!

Born in the capital of Highmaul, Gug'rokk was at first disdainful of his assignment as the governor of the Bloodmaul mines deep within Frostfire. Over time, however, he has come to appreciate the merits of operating on the outskirts of the Gorian Empire, with absolute control and minimal oversight.

Overview
The elementalist Gug'rokk hurls blasts of molten rock at enemies. He periodically summons unstable slag elementals that slowly move towards a kiln, surging with destructive energy if they are able to reach their goal.
Damage Dealers
• Interrupt Gug'rokk's [Molten Blast] to prevent him from gaining [Molten Core]. • Defeat Unstable Slag Elementals before they can reach their target kiln, or they will gain [Empowered Flames].
Healers
• Be prepared for Unstable Slag Elementals to inflict damage to the party through [Unleashed Flames].
Tanks
• Interrupt Gug'rokk's [Molten Blast] to prevent him from gaining [Molten Core].
