Description

<name>, my former protege, Sparky Uberthruster, wouldn't wear his helmet while down here and one day transformed into the infamous Dr. Boom!

And he stole off to the northeast with most of our sapping equipment! He and his Boom Bots have been a menace to Area 52 ever since.

I need you to go to his Camp of Boom just outside of town and put an end to him! Use these Boom's Doom bombs to take him out.

And make sure not to get too close to him or his Boom Bots!

What a weird quest. I got one shotted when I first got there. I rezzed on top of the red drum off to the left. From there you can toss bombs at him w/o getting hit or aggro'd. Once he dies the little ones wont spawn & you can loot.

Great tip, I just stealthed into place on top of the barrels and was able to drop bombs on him without being touched once. Note that this is also a great spot to level up your ranged weapons, my throwing skill was a little low so I just stood there and plugged him repeatedly until I maxed out!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Invaluable Asset ZappingNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    See the fissure running through Area 52? We did that! <grin> It's yielding up all sorts of goodies for the X-52 Nether-Rocket, but we're running short on equipment. We had an operation at the Arklon Ruins to the southeast until the Burning Legion moved in.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Consortium Crystal CollectionNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Our leader, Nexus-Prince Haramad, has tasked me with the acquisition of a crystal artifact from the Arklon Ruins to the southeast. They're old draenei ruins. Unfortunately for both myself and the goblins here, the Burning Legion has decided to move in to perform their own excavation.
