Nek'rosh's Gambit
Nek'rosh's Gambit is an urgent strike mission commissioned by Captain Stoutfist in Menethil Harbor. Learning that Chieftain Nek'rosh has constructed siege engines to bombard the vulnerable port town while reinforcements remain cut off at Dun Algaz, the Alliance sends brave volunteers deep into the marshes to burn the Dragonmaw catapults before an assault can begin.
Quest text
While you were fighting the Dragonmaws, we discovered more of their plans.
Nek'rosh has built catapults and aims to lay siege to Menethil! And with the fighting in Dun Algaz, we're effectively blocked from reinforcements!
You need to take out those catapults. They're in the Dragonmaw encampment.
Here, take this tinder. Fight your way to the catapults and light them with the tinder.
And after you've done that, find and kill Nek'rosh. We need to cut this Dragonmaw beast down...at its neck.
Progress
The first catapult is before you. Will you set it aflame?
Completion
Show the words
You place some of the tinder on the catapult then strike a spark onto it.
Flame erupts and quickly spreads!
