The Angry Gorloc

Quest Giver: High-Oracle Soo-say — Rainspeaker Canopy, Sholazar Basin [54.6, 56.3]

Objective: Travel to Mosswalker Village and speak to Moodle.

Quick Facts

• Level: 77
• Location: Mosswalker Village, Sholazar Basin [75, 52]
• Chain Position: 2 of 4 in the Oracles pre-faction chain (Home Time! → The Angry Gorloc → The Mosswalker Savior + Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine → A Hero’s Burden)

Walkthrough

Get Moodle’s Stress Ball

• When you accept the quest from Soo-say, you receive Moodle’s Stress Ball. Confirm it’s in your bags before leaving. The ball is required to summon Moodle and complete the quest.
• If the ball didn’t appear in your inventory (a known bug), talk to Soo-say again or abandon and re-accept the quest.

Travel to Mosswalker Village

• Fly east from Rainspeaker Canopy to Mosswalker Village at [75, 52]. It sits up on the ridge, northeast of the destroyed Lifeblood Pillar.
• Arriving at the village triggers the quest objective automatically.

Summon and Speak to Moodle

• Use Moodle’s Stress Ball from your inventory to summon him.
• Talk to Moodle to turn in the quest. He offers two follow-ups: The Mosswalker Savior and Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine. Accept both.

Efficiency Tips

• This is a short travel quest with no combat required. Grab both follow-ups from Moodle immediately since they share the same quest area.
• The follow-up quests involve rescuing Mosswalker Victims in the village and collecting Lifeblood Shards from the ground southwest of the village, so you can complete them in a single loop.
• This chain ultimately leads to A Hero’s Burden, the group quest where you fight Artruis the Heartless and choose between the Oracles and Frenzyheart Tribe.

Lore Context

Moodle is unlike any other gorloc in the game. He speaks fluent Common, claims to have traveled “out in the world,” and already knew the Mosswalkers were dead before Soo-say sent him. His turn-in dialogue reveals the Scourge invasion of Mosswalker Village and ties the Lifeblood Pillar’s destruction to the undead’s ability to enter Sholazar Basin.

His name, “the Angry Gorloc,” and the fact that he’s summoned via a stress ball play into his characterization as the frustrated intellectual stuck under Soo-say’s leadership.

Easter Egg

• Moodle’s idle chatter includes the rhetorical phrase “Does that seem right to you?” This is a reference to Jubal Early, the bounty hunter from the Firefly episode “Objects in Space” (2002), who uses it as a recurring catchphrase. His mannerisms and thoughtfulness also match Early’s personality.
