If you are too high level, you can one-shot these but not get credit. Here are the steps I had to follow:
- Dismiss your pet.
- Pull aggro of the Emerald Colossus by running through them (because one-shot otherwise).
- Use the hammer.
- WAIT! The Colossus must shrink down to it's smallest size first.
- Then and only then, kill it.
- Rinse and repeat.
whatever you do.... don't get your quest items mixed up and try to use a charred branch on one of these fellas. I'll tell ya; it don't work.

What to do
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.

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.
- The Quaking Fields
Before you can help us here, you're going have to deal with Therazane, the Stone Mother's, forces to the south. The elementals and giants upon the Quaking Fields are being mustered. They too are after the middle fragment of the World Pillar.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Elemental Ore
You're going to have to deal with the leader of Therazane's forces here. However, to get you to him quickly and safely, I'm going to need to perform a ritual. Go out into the field and collect elemental ore from the ragers.
