After trying a few different methods in disgust I attacked and then ran out of range to let the NPCs handle it. My intent was to rush in at the end to make sure I got the credit for the kill but then a couple Hozen spawned where I was.. while I dealt with them the NPCs killed him but still got credit for it ;)

Description

Despite the hozen's apparent disarray, there is an order to their chaos. Their leader, Chief Gukgut, is the shrewd mastermind behind their attacks. He is organizing their movements at the great pit at the hozen camp to the northwest. Strike now and show him no mercy, {name}, for he will do the same.

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.
