TheWoWDBThis quest has had issues for a long time. The first issue was having no controls at all. Now we have controls but the camera orientation was completely borked. So you can move but you're facing east and at a strange angle to the coast instead of facing the crabs and quest giver. The good news is at least you can finish this quest in one pass now. They've almost got it LOL

This WQ is still bugged as of March 2025 (the camera is all wonky). I submitted a bug report in game and would encourage anyone running into the same issue to do so as well.
Hi all
On This WQ You need to Navigate Crab to kill 20 turtles. You can go left and right, as well after you will kill one turtle you can throw the shell to kill turtle far awey on same line. If you will be hit don't wary you can try one more time your kills will be save.
