STEP 1: Disable any UI mods, a lot of them will glitch this quest.
STEP 2: Go to a harpoon at either 64, 54 or 64, 52. Doesn't matter which one you pick.
STEP 3: Use the item in your bag [Harpoon Control Mechanism] and you should "mount" the harpoon changing your UI with 2 possible attacks.
STEP 4: Use the keyboard to turn the harpoon and you'll see three houses down below right by the water. These are your three building targets.
STEP 5: Use Attack #1 and aim the green cursor at the RED ROOF of the house you want to destroy and fire. If you hit the house anywhere else it may not give you credit.
STEP 6: Everytime you destroy a house Dragonflayer Defenders will spawn. Kill them by targeting them and using Attack #2.
Sometimes a crowd of players may form waiting for you to finish up harpooning because only one person can use it at a time. You can get around this by inviting them to a group, you will all get quest credit.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over

What to do
Description
We must strike while the vrykul forces are in disarray! Take the harpoon control mechanism to Nifflevar and locate the northernmost harpoon building on the bluff side of the village. Once there, commandeer one of the vrykul harpoon guns that are stationed on the building's deck. Use the harpoon gun to rain hell upon Wyrmskull Village! Destroy the longhouse, dockhouse, storage facility and any defenders that the vrykul may send at you! Do this and Daggercap Bay will become a much safer port!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Harpoon Master Yavus
That was a fairly strong showing at Baleheim, <name>. Before you go off patting yourself on the back there's work to be done at Nifflevar. We've located the vrykul responsible for the majority of the harpoon attacks on our frigates - goes by the name of Yavus.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Let's Go Surfing Now
Navigating the steep bluffs of Howling Fjord can be nerve-racking! I've come up with a solution to ease that burden by utilizing vrykul technology and dwarven ingenuity. With just a few adjustments and some fine tuning I've created Icehammer's harpoon controller!
