Hey same happened to me, "do not meet the requirements". I even did the quests in Crimson Expanse and came back here but still couldn't pick up the quets. The key is that you don't get the quest from him below the dragon, but in his original spot at 40.0, 19.3 ! You pick it up there and hand-in there. Afterwards he sends you to Therazane.

When I used mallet nothing seemed to happen, only later I found that the dragon was spawned relatively high above me, need to "mount" the stones flying around him and nuke/jump when stone is being destroyed. Not sure if this (event started without anything visible on ground) is normal, it's possible that someone else was already fighting her and I came in the middle.

This quest is kinda fun actually.

Once you hit the crystal, you have to look up and jump on the stones, and keep jumping until you get up to the top where she comes.

1. She does a flame jet attack, and it is aimed at the rock you are standing on, and after a certain amount of time, the rock falls.

2. You have to jump from rock to rock, in a sort of 'strafing' fashion.

3. If she hits you while you're on the rock, you do take a lot of damage.

4. It is super easy to solo if you jump to a different rock when she is about to shoot down the one you are on.

5. You don't take any damage if you avoid the flame jet.

6. She is 'defeated' (read: surrenders) at like 15% or 20% HP. You collect your reward, and then you get to laugh at anyone down on the ground who can't figure the quest out.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fragile ValuesDeepholm · Level 30-35

    It is now time to draw the Broodmother's attention. To do so, we will need a mallet that the troggs use when making offerings to her. Seek out the Stone Trogg Beast Tamers that are attempting to tame basilisks in the southern portions of the Pale Roost.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rocky UpheavalDeepholm · Level 30-35

    To the east, on the Crimson Expanse, you will find Gorsik. He embodies the more unstable and violent nature of our kind. He is neither friendly, nor trusting, but his word carries weight. Proving yourself to Gorsik will go a long way towards proving yourself to the Stonemother.
