Description

Detheroc has SI:7's finest snipers on all of the rooftops. We can't mount up and we can't fly. There are grapple points above so that we can move up the cliff. We've also setup hay bales to hide in along the likely routes to SI:7. We just need to stealth in and kill Detheroc. Once we get up there, we'll separate to increase the chances of at least one of us making it through the city. Good luck, {name}.

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.
