The naga are using those giants to stamp paths through our minefields. Time to put that SFG to use!
Head over to the entrance to the southern minefield - I think you can figure out the rest.

This quest seems finicky. If you're having issues completing it, make sure of the following:
-You're shooting a giant that's walking TOWARD you--that is, you're shooting him "In The Face!"
-You're shooting from the minefield path as instructed in the quest text.As a level 80, figuring I could just steamroll over this one, I shot from the bottom of the minefield path on a giant that was walking away from me. The giant died, but I didn't get credit and had to abandon the quest to pick up a new SFG (consumed on-use). The second time, I positioned myself around (31,60) so the minefield entrance picket signs were between the giants and I, and I made sure to shoot one that was walking toward me. This gave me credit properly.
I pulled it so it was facing me shot it and completed.
If you look carefully at your target panels, you'll see that some of the giants are greyed out as if they've already been tagged. Shoot the one that hasn't been "tagged."

Hey bud! Like explosions? Of course you do. Who doesn't like explosions?! I've got mortars set up on the ridge to the east to hold the naga back. Go forth, recruit. Mortar them... mortar them all! Ahahahah.

Things seem to be quieting down a bit. Gallywix will probably keep forking out cash to keep us posted here, but I have a feeling we might be able to milk a bit more out of the deal. Naga and Sea Giants aren't normally friends, so the naga must be controlling them somehow.
