This quest makes no sense. It's a two parter.

At the beginning you grab a Poco and start shooting. With the weird targeting that I never seem to get used to. If you die it's ok Poco will teleport you to safety.

At the end you have this big guy and a "trapped" Poco. You run around the guy and pick up one orb at a time (sometimes it seems like you can get more than one, no idea why). And you deliver them to trapped Poco. There will absolutely be no indication of how many you need or how close he is to being released.

Don't bother fighting any of the mobs. Once Poco is released you will immediately just transfer back to Firim's cave. No idea how or why.

Seriously, these current devs/designers just don't even care.

Edit: I counted and it takes 10 Cosmic Orbs

This is a terrible quest. There is no transition between the last fight and this one. A big baddie turns up? You attack it, right? No. You are supposed to intuit that it. and the damage throwing mites it brings along, won't attack you specifically - you just have to avoid the blue balls that slowly drop and explode in blue ground swirleys and the big black cone attack. You can actually run under and around it and it ignores you. And then you have to figure out that the little yellow balls that show up have to be run through, one by one, because the crappiness has to be as long lasting as possible, and carried slowly over to the blue ball on the right (from the doors, anyway), avoiding the floor damage, which isn't a damage blue ball, but a prison blue ball for Procopoc. And you have to do it 10 times, as stated above. With absolutely no instuctions, or clues. It's a craptastic bit of script writing, and the developer probably wonders why real life doesn't follow his scripts, either. It's because your scripts are crap, mate. After all the 'go here, go here' times however many steps, to end up about 10 meters away from where you started.....no one needs this rubbish.
