You have to sniff up mobs and kill them here just like other digs, but once you have agro you need to stand on one of the pressure plates to activate it until he begins a long cast targeting your position. You can then move out and kill it (just don't kill it before it finishes the cast), but you have to immediately get Myrrit back on your shoulder and sniff out the next mob. The piles you left on the plates will time out before you get them all otherwise, and sometimes you can dig up junk grays instead of the mob you need to finish the area.

Sniff around and dig on the spots he sniffs, it spawns a mob that throws a heavy pile of coins where you are standing, to activate the floor
