I've finished every project on-time and under budget and I'm not about to start slipping now.
Wowpedia Explore. Main Page All Pages. World of Warcraft. Classic Vanilla While I was waiting for the ettin to come around the corner I killed some of the gnolls. Then when the ttin was as close as he was going to get before turning back around I hit him with my lowest level spell.
L17 mage, so firebolt or even frostbolt work. Then instead of running, I walked backwards off the mountain. I found it easier to keep an eye on the ettin. I did get hit, but by knowing where he was I could make sure he didn't run away back toward the mountain again. When I got back to the road I kept going backward, kept my mouse hovered over the orb and waited for the log strike its when he hits his log on the ground, there is a little countdown thing just under the ettin character icon.
Then run towards the bridge. Keep an eye on the orb because you may have to click it once or twice more to keep control. But I didn't have a time issue or anything. It just took me a thousand and one tries to get it right. Hope this helps! Comment by Twodotsonekb Much to my dismay, this big guy cannot be brought along to battlegrounds. Comment by Pypode He throws a huge boulder in the lake. Not even a ripple. Comment by Reference to Saving Private Ryan? Comment by Catweazle Seems to be broken in 6.
See : Solomon's Gavel. Comment by Ormazd I couldn't get my orb to work, even after trying all the workarounds suggested here. Luckily, I saw someone else on the same quest use the orb successfully, so I joined their group and was able to complete the quest with their help.
Comment by shamana4 After accpting this quest, you should have in your bags Ettin Control Orb. Go to the location marked in your map, find a Canyon Ettin and use it on him. It will become friendly as Subdued Canyon Ettin. Then, go near the bridge, around 31,5, Canyon Ettin will follow you. You will see Foreman Oslow under a rock. He will remove the rock and throw it into the water, and the quest will be completed! Comment by Ghouls I can control all the Ettins in Redridge and my first thought is to use them to move a rock.
My character is not much of a big picture thinker. Comment by Gymlea Just tried this. Blizz has not fixed the bug as of this date. The orb does nothing. All of the control devices worked with the same mechanic. This does not work.
There are a dozen workarounds in the posting here, which proves that this is bugged. I tried two of them and I am giving up. I can level this alt without this quest. Comment by Cerms Seems to be bugged as of 7. The boulder isn't spawning, atleast on EU-Silvermoon. Comment by Peredhil Comment by wolfmusic Probably due to the recent stat squish, but a quest that you will receive later on Showdown at Stonewatch is a bit overtuned and was destroying me and my NPC buddies.
I had avoided completing this Saving Foreman Oslow quest so I could use the Etin to help me in Redridge if I needed, and he certainly proved helpful for finishing Showdown at Stonewatch. I recommend holding off on turning this one in right away, at least for now! Move it to your action bar and use the keybind or click it from there.
When used from the objectives window, all it will do is pull the Canyon Ettin and you'll probably die. However, when used from your action bar, it will cause you to cast the subdue required to control the Ettin, allowing you to perform the quests required actions. Good luck out there! Comment by j0ester As of 2 weeks ago, this quest seems bugged. I've so far leveled 3 characters to lvl I believe it started when Blizzard activated the Rep gain bonus.
There is no rock. Comment by Shikamarana Like others have stated, you may have to use the orb manually from your bags or actionbar, as the quest tracker button for the orb didn't work for me. Additionally, I just accidentally found out that you may be able to use the orb on ANOTHER ettin after you have one subdued, to make it "lift the boulder". What this means is that up in the mountain where the foreman is nowhere near, my ettin did a little leap while I was engaged with a hostile ettin, and then I got credit for saving the foreman.
Yeah, no idea. Bugged quest is bugged. Comment by synckeno Since the rock wasn't there for my quest, I had to find a work around. The work around to this quest was mind controlling the Canyon Ettin then letting another Canyon Ettin spawn, using the orb on that second Canyon Ettin will give you credit for lifting the rock. Comment by 8BitBaker I just completed this today and had a hard time getting the control orb to work I tried three times on the first ettin, using the orb in my bag and bars - neither made a difference.
I ended up killing him and letting another ettin spawn - and to my surprise it worked on the second ettin! I was able to jump down the cliffs with him he stayed following me and walked back to the bridge.
The boulder spawned and I was able to use the orb again just like I should have. The boulder also respawned at the bridge within about 60 seconds of me completing the quest. Comment by Worked from my bag when he started punching me.
Saving Foreman Oslow. You used an ettin to remove the boulder that was crushing Foreman Oslow? Oslow will be grateful once he regains his composure. IsQuestFlaggedCompleted Please keep the following in mind when posting a comment: Your comment must be in English or it will be removed.
