A Mammoth Undertaking

A Mammoth Undertaking is a quest for level 20-30 in Sholazar Basin. It is step 24 of 65 in the Sholazar Basin storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Sholazar Basin at 42.1, 28.9. It rewards 3,100 experience and money.

Description

Before you go off challenging Broodmother Slivina, Dorian thought it might be a good idea for you and Hemet to coordinate your efforts by riding into battle on the back of a mammoth.

The area around the camp is full of them. Just take this bridle and slip it over the head of a shattertusk mammoth. Be careful of the bulls, though. They won't tolerate the harness at all. Bring the mammoth back here when you've found a suitable one.

Seems it could fail and do nothing when trying to use it on the mammoths, who happen to be located just around the camp. They are neutral mobs so it shouldn't be too hard to do this quest. Just run it back and press the 1 button to return it to Zootfizzle.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Securing the BaitSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    We're not likely to get Broodmother Slivina's attention waving our arms around like fools, but if we're smart, we can bait her into fighting us. We'll also secure more, uh, fodder for my little project. <Dorian glances over at Zootfizzle.> But don't worry about that for now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Post-partum AggressionSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Broodmother Slivina's likely to be a snarling ball of teeth, spikes, and talons. You've gone and stolen her children away and no mother takes kindly to that. 'Tis true they hatched from eggs, but she loves the little beasts no less than your mother loves you.
