Explosions Always Work

Explosions Always Work is a Horde-only quest for level 40-90. It is step 13 of 25 in the Allies of the Horde: Vulpera storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zuldazar at 74.9, 63.0. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

The area surrounding Tidecaller Nezara is heavily guarded, so I'll need you to create a distraction.

Take these explosives. Plant them on the naga's harpoon launchers. Once they've been detonated, the blast should be more than enough to send the guards running!

When you approach the harpoons, the place to click to set the explosives may be hard to see. They're on the curved legs of the harpoons, one on each side.

If, like me, you came here to find out how to detonate the explosives, go back to the quest giver and then a special action button will appear.

if you are having issues like me coming in just before the dragonflight content....... the issue with DETONATE was the action button wasnt available so have to go into the menu and select edit mode, then tick the box next to extra abilities and then drag that out where you can see it. once i did that i was done. took me 30mins to figure that out!
