TheWoWDBYou can loot [item=118653] after you have killed (and while fighting) the second boss Nitrogg Thundertower, it will be next to the cannon he used in phase 2.
And as Pinochet point out, as you change area in this dungeon, you will not be able to get to the item, if you have killed last boss Skylord Tovra.

Is anyone else as depressed by this quest as I am? I was so excited when I saw Keeshan in my inn and even more so when I saw the quest reward: the bandanna I still recall coveting at level 15. But the description got me right in the feels. This man who has been through so much: near endless war, the loss of his wife, the destruction of his entire Bravo Company, has finally given up for good. Last time our objective was to cheer him up. Now it seems like we are just encouraging his apathetic self-pity, handing him his meager tool of destruction as he hands over his characterizing bandanna saying, "Here, kid, you're gonna need this more than I am." I want a redemption story. I want my John J. Keeshan back, not this sorrowful man drowning in his ale and the blood of his unworthy opponents.
Was wondering, where on earth is Keeshan, can't find him to hand in the quest. Then i remembered that the level 2 tavern has a basement(entry next to bartable).
There he was, just staring at a wall.

Description
Do you know what I want? What everyone who came through that portal wants. Every soldier running from a world that didn't understand us, didn't need us. I want that world to love us as much as we love it. But we don't really belong there, not anymore. War is part of us, and we can't go back. To everyone back there, we're expendable. The only thing that makes me feel better now is the feel of a cold iron cannon in my hands, pointed at the enemy. <Keeshan stares into his mug of ale.>
