to trap Bitterbeak, you have to put the trap on the corner of the hexagonal cliff he pats over. It didn't work the 2-3 times I put the trap on the edge of his nest. It is likely he'll see you and you'll have to make him chase you over the trap

Can someone explain to me why people are killing the 3 mobs you need to trap? I mean if they aggro you you could just... run away.
To do this quest - find the named mobs, throw the orb onto the ground by them, and drag them into it. Then once captured click on the mob, done.

What to do
Description
The wildlife of Zereth Mortis are attracted to the frenetic creation energy that flows throughout the land. When the wildlife finds something charged with that energy... they eat it! The Mawsworn Cryptoseers have become aware of this and are attempting to find such wildlife to extract any remnants of that energy. Eliminate the Cryptoseers, and use the Containment Trap to subdue and examine the wildlife for our research.
