This quest is unusual for wow player.

On first scene screen you see some marks above targets head.

On second scene screen there are another seven targets to hit by, so make sure you got all of them. There is one hidden at top middle by some tree leafs.

On third screen you have to shoot 3 barrels: left of the temple (bottom), one middle screen fountain and last top building right side of entrance.

After that there will be lovely "hit as fast as you can" all the targets game.

Do not abandon the quest, just try to strain your eyes :)

So I made an account specifically to comment on this quest. This is for anyone having trouble taking out all the onslaught of Jinyu after Riko goes over to Kiryn while she is in the net. Two easy steps you can finally beat this quest! First, turn on enemy nameplates. This makes finding the hidden jinyu that could take you out so much easier. Second, go into "Interface", find where it says "interact with mouseover", and assign it to a key on your keyboard. I used F1 because it was never assigned to anything else. After doing this, I finished the quest in one try.

Simply move your mouse over all the Jinyu (which you can now see since you have nameplates turned on) and spam the crap out of whatever button you assigned "interact with mouseover" (F1 in my case). After dying countless times during the final showdown, this worked the first time I tried it. I hope this helps someone who might be having as much trouble as I did!

Description

With our leader turned to jade, our hozen guide disappeared, and a prisoner of war in tow, there was only one thing that Kiryn and I could do: March into our enemy's territory and deliver some vengeance. Want to know how it went?
