   • Then, Hearth back to Bouldercrag's Refuge. Turn in Heart of the Storm and get the follow-up The Iron Colossus.
     
     
5. Fly northwest and use a Jormungar Control Orb to take control of a Tamed Jormungar. Its abilities are:
   
   
   • Ability 1: Submerge - you can only move while submerged. When you submerge, you gain the ability to Emerge - you can only attack while emerged.
   • Ability 2: Jormungar Strike - powerful melee strike. Use this attack on cooldown.
   • Ability 3: Acid Breath - powerful stacking dot. Use this attack on cooldown as well.

   Before you fight the Iron Colossus, read the entire secstion on the strategy so you can avoid dying the first time against it.
   

6. Head west to The Iron Colossus. (Submerge first to move).
   
   Emerge next to him and then start spamming your two attack abilities, Jormungar Strike and Acid Breath. The big gimmick to the fight is that when The Iron Colossus emotes: "The Iron Colossus prepares to slam the ground in front of him!" you must immediately Submerge and run BEHIND him (you can and should start moving even before the animation for being underground shows up - you can move right after submerging). Emerge behind him, then continue attacking. Rinse and repeat each time he emotes. You cannot get hit by his ground slam attack - if you manage to dodge it each time, you'll kill him hanildy.
   
   
   • Finally, return to Bouldecrag's Refuge to turn in the final part of this long quest chain.

To conclude with this area, turn in your remaining quests:

1. Fly to Frosthold and turn in:
   
   
   • Baby Stealers
   • Stemming the Aggressors and get the follow-up Sirana Iceshriek (Group)
     
     
2. Fly to K3 and turn in Overstock.
