Tips for Hunters: Send in your pet, go to Autoshot, time to grab a drink and some snacks.
Tip for Shamans: Drop your totems on her feeding grounds before you summon her. She will attack your Fire totem, but will not do any damage (as it's all AoE). She won't even touch you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Big Game, Big Bait
We're only going to get one shot at capturing Abyssion, <name>. Let's make it count. We'll test out the trap on the biggest of the stone dragons in the Alabaster Shelf. To lure the stone matriarch, we're going to need to gather sufficient bait. Take this knife and carve 5 sides of basilisk meat.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Abyssion's Minions
If it's the dragon that's got the fragment, we're going to need to draw his attention back to his den. Go to Abyssion's Lair just east of here and defeat his underlings. That should get him to show up with the World Pillar fragment sooner or later.
