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.

Description

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.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • First Degree MortarAzshara · Level 5-30

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Profitability ScoutingAzshara · Level 5-30

    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.
