WotLK Classic Northrend Leveling Guide

Quest 3 of 7 in the Dun Argol Chain

Alliance • Grizzly Hills • Level 75 • Dun Argol

Collect 8 War Golem Parts from inside and around the buildings of Dun Argol. Ground objects, not mob drops.

Sparkling objects on the ground inside and outside Dun Argol's workshops. Most buildings hold 2–3 spawns. Best density at the top building (~4 parts). Shortcut: The Overseer Disguise Kit (from Put on Your Best Face for Loken) makes iron dwarves friendly, letting you loot parts without combat. Mount first, then apply disguise. Pair with Looking the Part if heading in without the disguise.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Eight stolen parts clanked in a sack, and Raegar's confidence lasted exactly until he opened it. No serial numbers, no instructions, and not a gnome in sight to figure them out.

“We’ve got the blueprints, but we can’t do anything with them without parts! We don’t have access to a foundry, much less materials, but there’s a whole load of parts up in Dun Argol.

Your job?

Give them a new home.

They’re likely to be scattered around any of the buildings where the iron rune-smiths are working, and I wouldn’t blame the irons for being cranky when you try to filch their handiwork. The more parts you can bring, the better we can make this golem.”

Bring 8 War Golem Parts to Raegar Breakbrow at Prospector’s Point.

War Golem Part (8)

Finding the Parts:
War Golem Parts are scattered on the ground, primarily inside and outside the buildings in Dun Argol.
High-density locations for parts include:
76, 62 – Inside and outside the central building.
75, 57 – Multiple pieces can spawn here.
81, 60 – A bit farther out but worth checking if needed.
Efficient Collection:
Most buildings have 2-3 spawn points for parts. Prioritize looting inside the larger buildings for quicker completion.
If you have a flying mount, use it to bypass mobs and loot parts without engaging in combat.
Stealth and Disguises:
Rogues can use Sap to incapacitate nearby enemies and loot parts without getting into combat.
If you’re also completing Put on Your Best Face for Loken, the Overseer Disguise Kit will make you friendly with the Dark Rune Dwarves, allowing you to loot parts without aggroing mobs.
Combat Tips:
If disguise options aren’t available, clear mobs around the parts before looting, as interacting with objects often triggers nearby enemies.
Warrior Tip: Use Charge to engage enemies quickly and follow up with Sweeping Strikes to handle groups efficiently.
Turn-In Location:
After collecting all 8 parts, return to Raegar at his camp near Dun Argol (78, 48) to complete the quest. — **Finding the Parts:** War Golem Parts are scattered on the ground, primarily inside and outside the buildings in Dun Argol. High-density locations for parts include:

Quest Giver: Raegar Breakbrow — Prospector’s Point, Grizzly Hills [77, 49]

Objective: Collect 8 War Golem Parts from inside and around the buildings of Dun Argol and return them to Raegar Breakbrow.

Quick Facts

Level: 75
Location: Dun Argol, Grizzly Hills
Chain Position: 3 of 5 in the Dun Argol chain (Check Up on Raegar → The Perfect Plan → Why Fabricate When You Can Appropriate? → We Have the Power → … Or Maybe We Don’t)
Pairs With: Looking the Part (also requires entering Dun Argol buildings)

Walkthrough

The War Golem Parts are ground objects scattered around Dun Argol, NOT mob drops. They appear as sparkling objects on the ground inside and outside the buildings where the Iron Rune-Smiths work. This trips up players who assume they need to kill golems for parts.
Most buildings contain 2-3 spawn points for parts. The top building is particularly good, with roughly 4 parts inside and on the slope leading up to it.
Locations include [76, 62] (inside/outside the central building), [75, 57] (multiple spawn points), and [81, 60] (eastern building).

Efficiency Tips

Overseer Disguise Shortcut: If you have the Overseer Disguise Kit from the quest Put on Your Best Face for Loken, use it before entering Dun Argol. The disguise makes you friendly with the iron dwarves, letting you walk right up to the parts and loot them without pulling anything. This turns the quest from a 10-minute slog into a 2-minute sweep. Note: the disguise works while mounted, but only if you mount first and then apply it.
Do Alongside: This pairs naturally with Looking the Part, which requires killing an Iron Rune Overseer inside Dun Argol for a uniform. Grab parts as you fight through for that quest.
Rogues: Sap nearby dwarves and loot parts without entering combat.
Flying Mount: With Cold Weather Flying, you can land near buildings, grab parts, and take off without clearing trash.

Lore Context

With the blueprints secured from The Perfect Plan, Raegar now needs raw materials.

Since the Explorers’ League doesn’t have access to a foundry, the solution is to simply steal pre-fabricated parts from the iron dwarves’ own workshops. Raegar’s completion dialogue reveals he’s in over his head: the parts have no serial numbers or assembly instructions, and he wishes he had a gnome engineer to help figure it out.

This sets up the chain’s continued theme of improvised warfare against a technologically superior enemy.

Vikstone's War Journal

Raegar’s enthusiasm had not dimmed. “We’ve got the blueprints, but we can’t do anything with them without parts! We don’t have access to a foundry, much less materials, but there’s a whole load of parts up in Dun Argol.” He grinned. “Your job? Give them a new home.”

Why build when you can borrow.

Vikstone Portrait Act 2 — Illustrated by Christian DiBari and Simon Gough.

The iron dwarves guarded their forges with the zeal only creators can muster. Every bolt and cog represented hours of labor, pride made manifest in runic steel. Unfortunately for them, I was not inclined to respect their craftsmanship.

Eight trips through workshops and foundries, wrenching gears from benches, salvaging panels from half-assembled frames. The iron rune-smiths were, as Raegar had predicted, cranky about the theft. Their crankiness did not save them.

I returned with a sack that clanked.

Raegar examined the haul. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

“Oh, no. This is going to be harder than I thought. These things don’t have serial numbers or anything, do they?” He looked up, almost plaintive. “Never a gnome around when you need one.”

The perfect plan, apparently, had complications.

The parts are stolen and Raegar is improvising. The golem is taking shape, but it still needs something to make it move. Finding a power source is the problem in We Have the Power.
