Guard Mol'dar
This is revision 1, from Oct 29, 2026 04:23. See the current page.
Guard Mol'dar is one of the three ogre guards of King Gordok in Dire Maul North, the Gordok Commons. A zealous loyalist and his people's arm-wrestling champion, he is one of the henchmen a group tries to keep alive on a tribute run. Spare him, kill the king, and Mol'dar swears loyalty to the new ruler and hands over a buff that adds 15% to the group's Stamina.
Background
The Gordok are the ruling ogres of the Gordunni clan, who took over the northern quarter of the ruined city of Eldre'Thalas and made it their stronghold. King Gordok keeps a small circle of henchmen: Mol'dar, Guard Fengus and Guard Slip'kik as his guards, Captain Kromcrush over the soldiers, Stomper Kreeg at the drink, and Cho'Rush the Observer as his advisor.
According to the game's Adventure Guide, Mol'dar is fiercely devoted to his king. He believes King Gordok gave him a pair of enchanted gauntlets, the secret behind six straight years as the Gordok arm-wrestling champion. In truth, the king threw the gauntlets away and Mol'dar simply picked them up first.

Abilities
- Shield Bash: interrupts spellcasting.
- Shield Charge: charges a player and knocks them back.
- Strike: a heavy melee blow.
- Intruder Alert!: at half health he goes into a frenzy, attacking much faster, and calls nearby ogres for help.
Strategy
When killed, Mol'dar is a straightforward warrior fight: groups clear the ogres around him first so his call for help brings no one, and they save their strongest damage for the frenzy at half health.
On a tribute run, though, the point is not to fight him at all. The Gordok follow a simple law: whoever kills the king becomes the king, and the henchmen still standing serve the winner. Each guard left alive adds an item to the Gordok Tribute chest and gives a two-hour buff. Mol'dar's is Mol'dar's Moxie, 15% more Stamina.
