North Side

Gordok Brute lvl 52-60 - Hard hitting melee mob. They have an uppercut attack that can knock back a short distance.

Gordok Mage-Lord lvl 52-58 - Caster mob that uses flamestrike, polymorph and frostbolt. Can pack a melee punch but much less armor and hp than the brutes.

Gordok Mastiff lvl 52-59 - These non-elites come in groups. Either a pack of 3 or more dogs, or maybe with an ogre leading them around. They can see stealth at a very long range, even further than they can see non stealthed. It is easier to drop stealth and sneak by than attempt sneaking anywhere near these dogs. Although they are non elites they hit really hard and snare, so can be a difficult mob to AoE.

Guard Mol'dar lvl 59 - This is a pretty trivial boss located in the courtyard of the room where you first zone in. If going for maximum tribute you want to leave this guy alive, however he drops a key you will need to complete the instance. You can either kill him and reset the instance for the key or have a rogue pick the lock later on. His only move to watch for is a charge that has a big knockback. Preferably pull him to some safe corner to fight in and make sure there are no mobs really close to be knocked into.

• Bulky Iron Spaulders plate shoulder (15str/12sta/5spi/+9 defense)
• Denwatcher's Shoulders mail shoulder (10int/10sta/10spi/+18 heal spell)
• Hedgecutter 1h axe (39.5dps/12sta/5str)
• Heliotrope Cloak back (10int/+1% spell crit)
• Sublime Wristguards cloth wrist (10int/6spr/6sta/+12 spell dmg)
• Gallant's Wristguards plate wrist (14int/+29 heal spell)
• Gordok Nose Ring finger (9sta/5str)
• Hyena Hide Belt leather waist (13sta/+28 atk)
• Jagged Bone Fist mh fist weapon (35.8dps/8str/7sta)
• Modest Armguards mail wrist (10int/+12 spell dmg)
• Ogre Pocket Knife 1h sword (7sta/+16 atk)
• Robe of Combustion cloth chest (17int/+26 fire dmg)
• Unsophisticated Hand Cannon gun (27.8dps/8str)
• Gordok Inner Door Key - Key to open the inner door

Carrion Swarmer lvl 52-58 These very weak non-elites are found at a few spots in the instance. AoE can finish them fast, but they pose no danger even without it. Watch out even when you are the king these guys are still hostile.

Stomper Kreeg <The Drunk> lvl 54-59 - This lazy ogre is sort of funny to watch but pointless to kill. You should leave him alive for maximum tribute, also his drops are just the same chance at a book that everyone else gives you as well as some beer. He has some effects that he uses in combat to make you drunk, but nothing difficult to overcome. If going for maximum tribute you don't need to be near him at all, if he is in your way you can sneak by when he goes to sleep.

Guard Fengus lvl 59 - This is another easy boss. I can't recall any special moves, maybe someone else can detail the fight a bit more. If going for maximum tribute slip by when he patrols by. Make sure to the loot the courtyard key from the box in the center of the courtyard to continue on.

• Gallant's Wristguards plate wrist (14int/+29 heal spell)
• Gordok Nose Ring finger (9sta/5str)
• Hyena Hide Belt leather waist (13sta/+28 atk)
• Jagged Bone Fist mh fist weapon (35.8dps/8str/7sta)
• Modest Armguards mail wrist (10int/+12 spell dmg)
• Ogre Pocket Knife 1h sword (7sta/+16 atk)
• Robe of Combustion cloth chest (17int/+26 fire dmg)
• Unsophisticated Hand Cannon gun (27.8dps/8str)

Gordok Reaver lvl 57-61 - This is a pretty similar mob to the brutes in melee power. They trade their uppercut for a cleave.

Gordok Warlock lvl 55-60 - These ogres have doomguard pets that can be annoying. They also cast Curse of Tongues, Immolation, Shadow Bolt and Banish. Banish is undispellable so it can cause big problems sometimes.

Doomguard Minion lvl 54-60 - These non-elite demons are the pets of Gordok Warlocks. Kill these first as their Rain of Fire, Cripple and War Stomp are all very annoying.

Wandering Eye of Killrog lvl 55-60 - There are 2 eye patrols in the warlock section. You need to get them at the first possible opportunity. If left alive they summon Netherwalkers.

Netherwalker lvl 60 - These demons are summoned in pairs by the wandering eyes. They might look like a simple voidwalker, but they are very tough and cast an AoE. I haven't fought these often (I'm good at killing eyes) so if anyone has more experience post your advice here.

Guard Slip'kik lvl 59 - These smart ogre patrols around the warlock section near Knot. If you are going for maximum tribute you will proboably need to repair the frost trap to keep him occupied so you can slip by. I've never ever fought this ogre, so no idea what he does if you fight him. Someone else can put that here.

• Bulky Iron Spaulders plate shoulder (15str/12sta/5spi/+9 defense)
• Denwatcher's Shoulders mail shoulder (10int/10sta/10spi/+18 heal spell)
• Hedgecutter 1h axe (39.5dps/12sta/5str)
• Heliotrope Cloak back (10int/+1% spell crit)
• Sublime Wristguards cloth wrist (10int/6spr/6sta/+12 spell dmg)
• Gallant's Wristguards plate wrist (14int/+29 heal spell)
• Gordok Nose Ring finger (9sta/5str)
• Hyena Hide Belt leather waist (13sta/+28 atk)
• Jagged Bone Fist mh fist weapon (35.8dps/8str/7sta)
• Modest Armguards mail wrist (10int/+12 spell dmg)
• Ogre Pocket Knife 1h sword (7sta/+16 atk)
• Robe of Combustion cloth chest (17int/+26 fire dmg)
• Unsophisticated Hand Cannon gun (27.8dps/8str)

Knot Thimblejack lvl 50 - This goblin gives you the quest for the ogre suit needed to bypass Kromcrush. Also if you have a shackle key you can set him free for a special pattern.

Gordok Bushwacker lvl 59 - This ogre spawns to attack you once you loot the tannin from the basket at the end of the warlock section. The tannin is needed to make an ogre suit.

Captain Kromcrush lvl 61 - This big ogre hits pretty hard (uses Mortal Strike I believe) and also uses Intimidating shout a lot. If you are going to kill him make sure you have a lot of room for fear. If only the warrior is in melee then Intimidating shout will not send him running, he will just be feared in place.

• Boots of the Full Moon cloth feet (12int/9spi/12sta/+26 heal spell)
• Kromcrush's Chestplate plate chest (16str/16sta/+15 defense)
• Monstrous Glaive 2h polearm (53.1dps/23sta/+10 defense/+1% parry)
• Mugger's Belt leather waist (16sta/+1% crit/+5 daggers)

Gordok Captain lvl 58-60 - These big melee ogres cast fear and use a shadow shock spell. When you fight them make sure you have plenty of room in case you are feared. Use tremor totems or fear ward if you have them as well. They come in groups so good CC will be necessary or else you might have a lot of fear getting thrown around.

Cho'Rush the Observer lvl 60 - This boss spawns with King Gordok. If going for max tribute you need to keep him alive while you kill the king. If you dont care about tribute just kill him then the king.

• Cho'Rush's Blade 1h sword (40dps/+28 atk)
• Insightful Hood leather head (15int/9spi/12sta/+1% spell crit/+33 heal spells)
• Mana Channeling Wand wand (4 mana regen)
• Observer's Shield shield (2089armor/38blk/14int/5spi/9sta)

King Gordok lvl 62 - This is a really tough boss. He has a huge knockback/charge attack. He can mortal stike and hits very hard, he can also enrage. If you are keeping the observer alive this will be a tough fight and it never is a push over. Make sure your tank gets firm aggro and the dps need to lighten up and not pull any aggro off the tank.

• Band of the Ogre King finger (14str/13sta)
• Barbarous Blade 2h sword (53.9dps/+60 atk/+1% crit)
• Bracers of Prosperity leather wrist (10int/8sta/5spi/+22 heal spell)
• Brightly Glowing Stone offhand (7sta/+37 heal spell)
• Crown of the Ogre King cloth head (18int/11spi/16sta/+1% spell crit)
• Grimy Metal Boots plate feet (17str/+1% dodge)
• Harmonious Gauntlets mail hands (5int/5spi/5sta/+51 heal spell)
• Leggings of Destruction mail legs (15agi/13int/20sta/+1% crit)

Gordok Spirit lvl 60 - These Ogres watch you as you fight the King, nothing special about them at all.

Mizzle the Crafty lvl 60 - After the king dies Mizzle comes out to crown you the new ogre king and show you your tribute.

Gordok Tribute - This is where you receive your bonus items for skipping bosses as they give the new king his tribute.

Outside Instances

Gordok Mauler lvl 47-54 - These guys have an uppercut knockback attack. For the most part you will just avoid everything outside the instances.

Gordok Ogre-Mage lvl 46-53 - These guys have a frost bolt and a sheep spell. Maybe more stuff I don't fight them very often.

Gordok Enforcer lvl 46-54 - More melee ogres outside the instance, like usual you can proboably just avoid these.

Gordok Hyena lvl 43-54 - Watch out as these packs of dogs see stealth at a very long range.

Griniblix the Spectator lvl 57-58 - This NPC shouts to zone when rare bosses spawn in the arena.

Mushgog lvl 60 - This is a rare spawn arena boss. I've never fought him before, but his drops are the same as the others 2 random BoE blue items.

Skarr the Unbreakable lvl 58 - This is a rare spawn arena boss. He is a tough melee fighter with a knockback. Shouldn't pose too much of a problem unless you have to pvp a few other groups for the spawn. He drops 2 random BoE blues for your trouble.

The Razza lvl 56-60 - This chimera is a pretty tough boss. He has some high damage and it can be a challenge with only 1 healer. This is in the pvp arena as well so you may have to deal with other players fighting you for it. He drops 2 random BoE blues as well.

Walkthrough

First how do you even get to Dire Maul. It is located in central Feralas just north of the road. As you enter the area you will see a variety of elite ogres and some stealth seeing dog packs. Head up the ramp and into the very large hallway. All wings can be accessed from the courtyard so that is the usual location to aim for. Follow this large hallway till it intersects with another. There will be some paths there to the north that will open into the courtyard. The center of the courtyard has a PvP arena that has some rare spawn bosses that can be a fun challenge to take on as other players will likely attack you trying to get the spawn for themselves. The wings are in their respective directions. North center for north wing, West center for west, and East center for East. North and West wings require the Crescent Key to open the door to get in. West wing also needs the key to finish the instance inside.

Also there is a side door to east, however it saves little time and skips the imp for the key so it is rarely used. Just head to the East down the big hallway at the T intersection right before entering the courtyard. You should see a tunnel to the north that leads to east.
