Description

These dwarven artillery shells have a built-in airburst timer. This is easy! Just sabotage one of the artillery shells in the loading bay and then hoist it up into the magazine. Boom, baby. BOOM!

You'll find the shells in one of two loading bays behind the main garage on this level. It's right around the corner.

Once you've rigged the artillery shell... Run! Run like the wind, <name>! Then report to Gann back at camp. I'll be right behind you.

a little guide to finding the bomb, since I found I had trouble.

From the room where the goblin is, go out as if you were going to the front of the bunker. however, take a right before you reach the entrance. You should find yourself in a room with a couple of dwarven tanks. Go into the room, and head to where there are 2 doorways pretty much right next to each other. Go through one of the doors (doesn't matter which), and look at the wall. There should be a fairly large blue bomb there. Right click it and GTFO of there

Not sure if this is a recent thing or if its been an issue, but for the life of me I cannot get this quest to trigger properly. I've tried arming one shell and two shells, I've tried both escape routes, I've sat and waited in the keep for a minute or two to see if that was the issue, I've dropped and reacquired this quest several times, but no matter what I do the explosion will not proc.

Curious if anyone else is having this issue. I'll report it as soon as I'm able.

    I don't know if you noticed on your way in, but this whole fortress is erected around a giant cannon. If we can just find the ammunition magazine, we could blow this place sky-high as easy as kiss-my-hand!
