Description

Have you seen these deepflayers before? Well, of course you have! You were almost eaten by one!

They're getting a little too cozy to me and my people's settlement nearby, and need to be dealt with. Inside the cave, outside the cave, they're all over the place! That's why I came here in the first place.

Since I can tell we'll be ramblin' round with each other for a bit, why not give me a hand?

    You're smellin' real down and out there, kid. Can't imagine what you been through to end up here. Well, it don't matter! We niffen ain't the sort to leave anyone behind. Especially not people who're about to be served up as a deepflayer's snack!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Niffen and GoliathZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    I didn't just come all the way out here to save your sniffers, ya know! The deepflayers are vicious and stubborn, like obsidian ore. We've tried to lead them from our town by leaving out food and such, but they're all too keen to attack our sparrow caravans.
