Getting Into Dire Maul North

The North door is on the north wall of the central courtyard. In Classic it needs the Crescent Key from Pusillin in Dire Maul East, and the torch inside then opens it for the group.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Warcraft Tavern: Dire Maul North, Location & Entrance; Warcraft Tavern: Dire Maul, Location & Entrances, checked Nov 8, 2026.

The Dire Maul Tribute Run

A Tribute run kills only King Gordok. Mizzle the Crafty then grants the King of the Gordok buff, and the Gordok Tribute chest spawns near the last boss.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Warcraft Tavern: Dire Maul North, Dire Maul Tribute Runs, checked Nov 8, 2026.

1. Bring Crescent Key, Ogre Suit, Thorium Widget, Frost Oil.
2. Walk past Mol'dar, Kreeg and Fengus without pulling.
3. Loot Fengus's chest for the Courtyard Key.
4. Repair the Broken Trap to freeze Slip'kik.
5. Wear the suit and talk to Kromcrush.
6. Kill King Gordok and leave Cho'Rush alive.
7. Loot the Gordok Tribute chest near King Gordok.

Warcraft Tavern lists three ways past the Gordok Inner Door without Mol'dar's key: 300 Lockpicking, a Powerful Seaforium Charge or a Truesilver Skeleton Key. Cho'Rush must be tanked while King Gordok dies, because he has to live through the fight.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Warcraft Tavern: Dire Maul North, Map & Layout and King Gordok, checked Nov 8, 2026.

The suit comes from Knot Thimblejack.
