TheWoWDBKey to this quest is to kill the 3 crystals while pulling them towards the guardian. If you pull the adds towards Harrison Jones, you get a bugged quest and you can't kill the adds.

The quest appeared to bug for me today when I moved the crystals too far away from the watcher. The crystals respawned and I killed them, but after they were dead the watcher just stood in the "aggro" animation for a very long time. Eventually, it faded out and reset. I was able to complete the event normally after that as long as I didn't move the crystals too far away from the watcher.

Yes, this all looks familiar enough. Thanks to all the information you gathered for me, I'm sure that I can activate the mechanism. I'll just need some time free from distraction. As soon as I get started, you can count on that titan construct to try and stop me. That's where you come in. I don't need to remind you of what's riding on this. Take down that guardian!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bad Datas
There should be two titan communication devices in this chamber. If my translations are correct, one is a death trap and the other will accept the codes and activate the obelisk. Let's hope I get this right. Let me know when you're ready.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sullah's Gift
Jonesy tells me you two need to make it up that mountain. Well, you're not going far with those troopers crawling all over it like ants on a carcass. Some of my friends were able to confiscate a bit of the enemy's hardware. It should make your journey a bit easier.
