You aren't shooting the monster with your harpoons, you are shooting the purple balls of void energy (Erupting Darkness) coming toward you. In a group, you get phased out from all your friends, and you all have to do it on your own. If you fall off the wall, you can go talk to Okri again and he'll give you another gryphon ride up but he won't be glowing like before.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Tiragarde Sound, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

This is my fault, my friend. The leader of these cultists is none other than Director Deepwarden, a man who I once trusted as an advisor and business partner. It seems he did not approve of how I ran our operation... to a ludicrous degree.
HELP WANTED. An unidentified illness has cropped up in Anglepoint Wharf. Those experienced with medicine or healing should report to the Therold Wavestone at their earliest convenience. Citizens are advised against visiting Anglepoint on personal business until further notice.
