Objective by objective
- Kill or interact with Servant of Neptulon NPC #35842
The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
Neptulon's minions have arrived here and are doing all they can to thwart us. Clearly, they've discovered our motives.
This only confirms my suspicion that what we seek is indeed somewhere in these ruins!
These water elementals are no match for our forces! Take this trident and use it to destroy the worthless servants of the Tidehunter.
When we find what we seek here, Neptulon himself shall fear for his life!
Progress
Tell me, minnow. Have you done as I asked?
Completion
The enemy's ranks are thinning, little minnow.
Perhaps you are worthy of assisting in our search....

A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 2,700 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 2 runs by 2 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 2) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 2 from 2) not yet

Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 7 min 19 s.

6 tracked kills, typically 2,970 XP, done around level 33.
The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Desolace), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
