The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Coords: (18.40) and surrounding area.
Suggested group: 3 people although it can be done with 2. Perfect group: tank, healer, dps
These mobs summon non-elite adds (up to 3) as their health drops down. Once they are dead, they can be looted again with mining skill.
Take care with agroing more mobs, move your target away from the area, since these elites wander around, and also Fel Reavers
During this quest you will find a Crimson Crystal Shard which is then turned in a few times and leads to Natural Remedies, but isn't technically a quest-chain because quests come from two different NPCs.

Expedition Repeater, Survivalist's Wand, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
You see that huge red crystal to the north? It fell from the sky not long ago, causing a massive earthquake. When we came out here to investigate the disturbance, we found all of these colossi wandering about that weren't previously here. There's definitely something strange about that crystal and the energies that it's emanating, but I don't have time for that. Those mountain giants are my immediate concern. I want you to head up to Fallen Sky Ridge and deal with them.
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.
- Keep Thornfang Hill Clear!
We've been fighting an ongoing battle to keep the pass through Thornfang Hill to the west clear of ravagers. It would be bad if we were to become completely cut off from the refuge in Zangarmarsh.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crimson Crystal Clue
As the colossus falls under the weight of your attacks, you notice for the first time that it was holding a red crystal fragment. While it was small and unnoticeable in the mountain giant's hand, it's a fairly hefty piece for you to carry around.
