For rogues, wanting the thrown weapon, if you haven't done any Q's in Deepholm (I hadn't on my 85 Rogue) you just need to do

1. Where's Goldmine
2. Explosive bonding compound (took 9 kills for me) + Something that burns
3. Apply and flash dry
4. Take him to the earthcaller
5. To Stonehearth's aid
6. The Quaking fields
7. The Axe of Elemental Sundering

30 minutes max.

If you are too high level, you can one-shot these but not get credit. Here are the steps I had to follow:


  1. Dismiss your pet.

  2. Pull aggro of the Emerald Colossus by running through them (because one-shot otherwise).

  3. Use the hammer.

  4. WAIT! The Colossus must shrink down to it's smallest size first.

  5. Then and only then, kill it.

  6. Rinse and repeat.

Description

The emerald colossi are the greatest of the Stone Mother's creatures. They must be the first to be removed from the field. I brought Stonefather Oremantle's axe for just this task. Use it to sunder the giants. That should bring them down to a more manageable size for you to finish off.

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.
