Battling the Elements

Quest 2 of 2 in the Njormeld Chain
Both Factions • The Storm Peaks • Level 80 • Fjorn's Anvil
Accompany Snorri and help him kill 10 Seething Revenants.
Snorri is the old frost giant beside Njormeld. Right-click him to mount up, then work the loop: gather snow at a snowdrift with button 1, target a revenant, throw with button 2. One snowball kills one revenant, and the throw reaches a long way. Snorri holds only one stack of snow at a time, so it is gather and throw, ten times over, and the snowball expires in about twenty seconds, so stay near the revenants rather than hunting distant drifts. He nods off periodically. Wake him with button 5. Two things that break this: old snowballs in your bags from earlier Storm Peaks quests can stop the vehicle ability working, so delete them first, and vehicle kills give no credit in a raid group. If Snorri is missing, someone else is riding him and he will be back shortly. Zoom the camera in, because he fills the screen.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Njormeld's request was not for a warrior but for someone to walk an old one through one more fight, since Snorri had never once turned down a battle. He fell asleep on his feet afterward with the club still in his hand.

“Snorri was once the pride of our nation. A mighty warrior, many an enemy fell to his club. We honor him, though he’s no longer what he once was. Age has taken its toll, dulling his senses and sapping his strength. Still, he remains as proud as ever, never missing an opportunity to join a battle. Speaking of battle, we’re cooling Fjorn’s anvil so it can be taken home. The remaining fire revenants are putting up some resistance.

Help Snorri relive his glory days, Night Elf. Guide him against this enemy.”

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Njormeld — Fjorn’s Anvil, Storm Peaks [75.1, 63.6]

Objective: Mount the frost giant Snorri and use his snowball attacks to kill 10 Seething Revenants.

 

Quick Facts

  • Location: Fjorn’s Anvil area [75-77, 62-64]
  • Chain Position: 2 of 2 in the Fjorn’s Anvil mandatory side quests (You Can’t Miss Him → Battling the Elements). Both are required to complete Forging an Alliance.
  • Unlocks: Completing this quest (along with Forging an Alliance) is the prerequisite for the Hot and Cold daily quest (+455 rep per day).
  • Do Alongside: You should have already completed You Can’t Miss Him from the same NPC. If not, grab it first.

 

Walkthrough

Mount Snorri

  • Snorri is the frost giant standing right next to Njormeld. Right-click him to mount and activate the vehicle UI. He greets you with a race-specific line (“Oh, hello, little [race]”).
  • If Snorri isn’t present, wait briefly. He despawns when another player is using him and respawns shortly after.
  • Njormeld also despawns while you’re mounted on Snorri. This is normal phasing behavior, not a bug.

 

Gather Snow and Kill Revenants

  • Ability 1 (Gather Snow): Use this near white snow mounds (snowdrifts) scattered around the quest area. The ability is instant-cast with a listed 5-second cooldown, though it behaves closer to 10 seconds in practice.
  • Ability 2 (Throw Snowball): After gathering snow, target a Seething Revenant and throw. One snowball = one kill, dealing 30,000 Snow Damage. The ability has a 100-yard range, so you can throw from a distance.
  • You have approximately 20 seconds after gathering snow to throw it before the snowball expires. Stay reasonably close to the Revenants rather than wandering far to find snowdrifts.
  • Revenants are located around the anvil area [76, 62]. Use Tab targeting or type /tar seeth to quickly find targets.

 

Wake Snorri When Needed

  • Snorri periodically falls asleep during the quest. When this happens, use Ability 5 to wake him up. The ability is instant, so it won’t slow you down.

 

Turn In

  • After killing 10 Revenants, dismount Snorri (click the red exit vehicle arrow on the vehicle bar). Njormeld will reappear after a short delay.
  • Turn in the quest to Njormeld. This also triggers the completion of Forging an Alliance.
  • Fly to Dun Niffelem [63, 63] to turn in Forging an Alliance to Njormeld there and continue the Sons of Hodir chain.

 

Efficiency Tips

  • Camera fix: Snorri’s model is enormous and will fill your screen. Zoom your camera all the way in to get a clear forward view past his body.
  • Snowball inventory bug: If you have regular snowballs in your bags (from earlier Storm Peaks quests), the Throw Snowball vehicle ability may not activate properly. Delete any old snowballs before starting.
  • Melee alternative: You technically can get kill credit by right-clicking Revenants to melee them while mounted on Snorri, and some melee classes report faster kills this way. However, this method is inconsistent, and it doesn’t always grant credit. Stick to snowballs for reliability.
  • Addon interference: Some UI addons can interfere with vehicle ability bars in WotLK. If abilities aren’t responding to keybinds, try clicking them manually. If issues persist, disable addons and relog.
  • Group warning: Do not attempt this in a raid group. You won’t receive quest credit for vehicle kills while in a raid, which is a common WotLK vehicle quest limitation.

 

Lore Context

Njormeld describes Snorri as a once-mighty warrior who was the pride of the Sons of Hodir, but age has dulled his senses and sapped his strength. This quest lets Snorri “relive his glory days” by guiding him into one more battle.

The Seething Revenants are fire elementals resisting the frost giants’ efforts to cool Fjorn’s Anvil for transport back to Dun Niffelem. The anvil is needed to reforge Thorim’s armor, which the player recovered earlier in the chain.

Completing this step brings Fjorn’s Anvil to Dun Niffelem, where it becomes the quest giver for the Hot and Cold daily. That daily is one of your earliest sources of repeatable Sons of Hodir reputation and becomes available at Neutral.

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

“Snorri was once the pride of our nation,” Njormeld said. “A mighty warrior, many an enemy fell to his club. We honor him, though he’s no longer what he once was. Age has taken its toll, dulling his senses and sapping his strength. Still, he remains as proud as ever, never missing an opportunity to join a battle.”

The old giant stood a little apart with the club up on his shoulder, and at the word battle he came to attention the way any soldier does.

“Speaking of battle, we’re cooling Fjorn’s anvil so it can be taken home. The remaining fire revenants are putting up some resistance. Help Snorri relive his glory days. Guide him against this enemy.”

Relive his glory days.

I climbed onto his shoulders and he took my weight without appearing to notice it.

The work was snow. There were drifts all round the yard, and Snorri could pack a ball out of one in a moment and put it a hundred yards into a fire revenant and take the thing out clean. My part was steering him to the drifts and telling him which one to hit.

The club never came off his shoulder. Toward the end he was breathing hard and laughing, and his aim had started to wander wide, and he hit the last one regardless.

“An honorable performance,” Njormeld said. “I shall inform the king of your assistance. The anvil is nearly cool enough. I shall see you in Dun Niffelem soon.”

Snorri was asleep on his feet before I was down off his shoulders.

My people were not built to grow old. That was taken from us within living memory, and most of us have still not learned what it looks like from the inside.

 

The anvil was nearly cool enough to move and Njormeld promised to speak to the king. None of it counted until they were Forging an Alliance.
