Description
The bugs seem to be indiscriminately laying eggs all over the nearby corpses. They are using them as food to spawn more of those horrible things. Disgusting! We can mourn the dead later, but if any more bugs are allowed to hatch we may not live long enough to do so. Burn the bodies and destroy those eggs!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Ankhaten Harbor
I fear that I don't yet have the strength to ride out into the sands and face those monsters again. Ride to the south and find Tracker Samara in the excavation camp formerly known as Schnottz's Landing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wastewander Hosts
The bugs have been laying eggs in the corpses of our soldiers, it's absolutely terrifying! Some of them are rising from the ground as putrid, bloated, hideous monstrosities. We have to stop them before they continue to bolster their ranks with our fallen. It's not a pleasant task...
