TheWoWDBThis quest makes no sense!
Harrison runs off. The guardian doesn't attack me and keeps the guards busy. There's no plot reason to kill it, in fact the exact opposite. We want it to kill the guards. That's a good thing, killing it is a bad thing. Why do I have to kill it before running up with Harrison? Why are the guards even shooting it? It was summoned by their boss. They should be shooting me... Makes no sense...

Seems to be buggy.The rifleman all started yelling, but the Obsidian Colossus never spawned. I abandoned the quest, now to wait for the event to reset...EDIT: Only took about two minutes to reset. BUT make sure the giant stone Colossus statue is in the center of the square before you begin the quest.
I happened to start the quest right after someone else had finished it, and the Colossus didn't have time to respawn.
I tried to kill this thing for 15 mins...... i got it down to 63k health... and then it went back into its "statue" form, and i had to kill it again. Has this happened to anyone else or was it a bug?

We have to keep moving, {name}. It's just a matter of time before those troops get their act together. The coffer should be just beyond these ruins. Stay on your toes. Something tells me this isn't over yet...
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.
