First, locate the MAIN BOSS ("Skullcrusher the Mountain"), who stands on top of a relatively LOW structure, made of slabs of white stone (in main part of the group of buildings, but over to the mountain-side). Directly to the WEST of his position, and just above his head height, you will see the crate of explosives on a ledge on a path leading up into the higher mountains.

Description

If the Twilight Gate is to fall, we need to get Skullcrusher the Mountain out of there! Before they left, I saw to it that your SI:7 agents took some explosives hidden in a Twilight's Hammer crate. By now, they will have planted them on the steps leading up to the upper portion of the Citadel. I want you to set the explosives off and then signal us when that monster's out of the way. That's when we'll attack and finish off the ogre compound!

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.
