Just north of the starting marker for the quest, at 45, 41, northwest of Hero's Rest, is a Y junction that 3 roads branch out from. Just keep sending [npc=161270] out from this central point and return to it after looting. He won't run far enough to get you into trouble and it makes looting easy and efficient.
I also found it easier if you let [npc=161270] run off on his own after using [spell=314037]. You can usually see the [npc=167828] spawn ahead of him and run straight to it, rather than follow [npc=161270] who doesn't always know exactly where the item is. He also seems to bug out a lot if you run with him, forgetting he's meant to be finding items and rejoins you at your side. Never seems to fail when you send him out like a truffle pig on his own.

If you have flying, you can do this easily on top of one of the big almost flat rocks in the north of Bastion, for instance at 42, 35. No ground clutter, only 1 passive mob, no hostiles.
Be sure Chordy is out, and if you don't have the extra UI button show up, check your action bar. You might have moved it there previously.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Build-A-Bomination
We need to get to work, every soul here needs a body. We have the parts to build a body for Chordy. Chordy is a great scavenger, rebuilding him could allow us to find more construct parts easier. Would you help me to rebuild him?
