Quest is super bugged.

What to do
Description
This place is a food chain of ferocity and far too many teeth. Our studies grow more dangerous by the minute, but if Matrean insists on staying, we may as well assist him. We're studying a link between the nature of these creatures and the Void's accumulation here. Dispatch some of the beasts below and bring samples of their tissue back to me. We can study them to learn more of their connection with the Void.
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.
- A Bigger Beast
Return to Umbric? But we're on the brink of deeper understandings! Hypothesis: there exists an apex predator amongst these creatures that might hold immense power! And this predator's relationship with the Void could further our own understanding of the infinite darkness.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Yolks on You
Our research has proven fruitful. I can feel the promise of power beckoning. Do you hear it, <name>? The apex predator calls to us. The beast must be nearby. We must gather tribute. Yes... we must offer it a gift of vitality! We must meet it bathed in the essence of the young...
