Description

Predators will smell these dead naga from nearly a mile away. Soon we'll find ourselves fighting just to get in and out of the cave. Care to help me clean up?

Just over the ridge to the south is Glimmerdeep Gorge. If you drag the corpses from the eastern exit of the cave over there to the gorge and cut them loose, the wildlife will pick them clean before they hit the sea floor. Just steer clear of the sharks as much as you can.

Just dive back into the water and you will see dead naga all over the place. Right clicking on one will attach a rope to the corpse enabling you to tow it away. Just tow the corpse due south over to the Glimmerdeep Gorge. I just aimed for the large underwater building in the shape of a fish head. The corpse will automatically disconnect and give you credit for one Dead Zin'jatar Raider. By the way you can only tow one corpse at a time.
