If you, like me, had a hard time finding Orseus he is standing next to the flight master at Grove of the Ancients. If you check the map it is near the "G" in Grove of the Ancients.
Still cant find him? Check here

Keep an eye out for the bears especially, as they are the last animal you'll fly over. They are numerous but you will need to be quick with them as they are not as abundant as the deer & moonstalkers.

The flight is automatic so all you have to do is aim the large green target on the ground and fire away. Yes, the bird is flying somewhat quickly and over the trees, making it really hard to spot the animals, but you can take the flight more than once if needed. You'll fly north first - aim for the stags, there are usually several small deer around them so you get credit for multiple targets even if you never see them. When you go west, aim for the Moonstalkers. Look for bears as you fly south.

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Now that we know our preventative measures work, we should cover as much ground as possible. I've arranged to commandeer one of our hippogryphs, but I can't do this alone. Talk to my friend Orseus, next to the flight master right outside the grove here. Let him know when you're ready and I'll meet you there. We'll canvas Darkshore from the air and protect as many animals as we can!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

An Ounce of PreventionDarkshore · Level 5-30
Are you familiar with the Old Ones, <name>? Onu and I agree that the artifact you found in the lake can only be their work, and it's devouring Darkshore. Something is stirring up terrors we thought dead long ago. This is bigger than you or me, but my first concern is protecting the wildlife.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Devourer of DarkshoreDarkshore · Level 5-30
Now that the creatures of Darkshore are safe, let's turn our attention to the artifact you found in the lake. I believe it's the work of a minion of the Old Gods. We'll fight these fiends using the very lifegiving energies of Darkshore itself!
