TheWoWDBWith the latest stat squish, the bootzooka now does a laughable 29 dmg, while the turtle has 4674 HP. That's roughly .6% of his health. It takes 162 hits to kill him.

Simple if you know what you're doing. You'll die if you don't but that's part of learning. (Yes, I 'learned.')
Part way up, there is a rock to your right that you can hide behind when he starts to cast his fire breath. The "e" and "q" buttons are useful here. Dart out and blast him then get behind the rocks. Repeat until he's dead.
When he's dead, DO NOT LEAVE. Behind the corpse is the next stage of the quest. Go behind him to the plane, complete and accept, and continue.
The best way to kill this guy is just stand underneath him and rapid fire him. He goes down quick. When he turns to shoot fire at you just run to the middle of his belly and continue firing, rinse, repeat. Works like a charm, no damage!

It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but the Bootzooka, patent-pending, is ready for use! These no-good pygmies have been feeding our people to their "god", Volcanoth, and they're about to unleash it on our town! You have to get into the cave and kill that thing before it's too late!

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.
- Children of a Turtle God
Volcanoth is the turtle god in the cave that these primitives worship. It's not really a god. <Hobart rolls his eyes.> But it is tough enough that I'm going to have to devise a new weapon for you from the one functioning boot we have left.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Repel the Paratroopers
The Alliance have caught back up with us at just the wrong moment, my friend. We took care of their ships, but they still have planes that are dropping their vaunted 127th Paratroopers onto the coast below.
