Gurog Creation

Quest Overview
Investigate the origins of the Gurog race in the Frozen Valley. This quest coincides with both Nalicana's Test and Bloodstone Investigation. The Gurog Kill Task can also be completed at the same time.

There is no level restriction on this quest, as there are no portals that must be used. However, for the related quests level 200 is required.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Optional: Speak to Fayza in Xarabydun.
 * 2) Travel to the Frozen Valley, and enter the Gurog Ice Cave at 84.9N 7.1W.
 * 3) * Route 1: Take the Snowy Valley portal (27.1S, 96.0E) in Tou-Tou for a short run west to the cave.
 * 4) * Route 2: If you are also completing the Gurog Kill Task, take the Wisp Lake Cottages portal (69.7S 20.2W) outside of Stonehold. Then talk to Gregoria, Gurog Destroyer at 83.8N 4.3W.  From Gregoria's cottage, run west-northwest to a cliff at 85.3N 6.5W overlooking a frozen valley. Jump into the valley and hug the right wall until you reach the cave.
 * 5) One of the three gurogs in the first room drops the Entryway Key used on the second door (700 difficulty).
 * 6) Within the dungeon, each person will need to obtain the Torn Note and the Journal of a Soldier.
 * 7) Proceed straight ahead and go up the wooden ramp, then take the first left. The Journal of a Soldier is on the table surrounded by a few Gurog.
 * 8) Return to the main hallway, then proceed straight across to find the Cellar Key. It spawns on a corpse with a few Gurog around it.
 * 9) Return to the main hallway, go back down the wooden ramp, then take either the left or right down to the cellar door (700 difficulty).
 * 10) The Torn Note is on the corpse of a Gurog in the Mattekar room down below, one drop per kill on a 10-minute respawn.
 * 11) Proceed back up to the main route, back up the wooden ramp, then straight ahead to the last room where the legendary chests are located.
 * 12) * Note: The portal to the Frozen Tomb can then be used if you are completing Nalicana's Test or Bloodstone Investigation.
 * 13) Give both the note and the journal to Fayza in Xarabydun for rewards.

Update History

 * You must have both the note and the journal for the turn in.
 * Gurog Soldiers use Two-Handed Weapons with a cleaving property, meaning they will hit more than one person at once. Position characters intelligently to prevent this, as a few Gurogs cleaving players at once can quickly kill them.
 * Gurog Minions are shield hollow, but Gurog Soldiers and Gurog Henchmen are not.
 * During the Feelings of Dread event the Mana Forge Key was removed and replaced with a Legendary Key reward.
