Oh good, you brought another catapult with you! Clay might be older than dirt, but he makes a mean war machine.

Well, you didn't bring it all the way out here for your health, flesh bag. Get in one of those things and bombard the fungal terrors and reinforcements streaming out of Needlerock Slag.

When I tried this quest, I was unable to aim up or down with the mouse. However, I found that the up & down arrows in the action bar still works.

Very easy if you aim close and bombard the ones being held still by the Stonehearth.

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.

  • Close EscortDeepholm · Level 30-35

    Alright, I think I've got it working again. You've got to get the catapult to the stone trogg town, Needlerock Slag, just to the north of the front. The driver will go with you. I'll head back and let Gravel know. There's no doubt that the stone troggs will try to stop you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reactivate the ConstructsDeepholm · Level 30-35

    We sent a number of our war constructs north into Needlerock Slag, but none of them ever returned. We know that the stone trogg mystics have done something to them. What we're concerned about is that the mystics will control and turn them against us, like they have with the fungal giants.
