You have to stay alive for 50 naga. There is a counter at the top of your screen. Be careful of the Earthwatcher Waveguards.. if you accidentally hit one they will one-shot you for 67k plus. You can pretty much just stand around and not-die for this quest, the NPCs will do everything.

Leads to the quest Rundown

Just stand around the camp that you got the quest at and watch the counter at the top of your screen. You don't have to do anything.

After coming out of the trance, BEFORE accepting the quest, i saw the counter for naga killed at xx/50, so i just assumed i should kill 50. 50 were killed and the counter reset, so i accepted the quest. Wish i hadn't. I'm thinking this would be a great spot/time to throw your dots, gain exp and drops while the guards do the rest for you (i got several embersilk and a green myself after just a minute or two of work). Can anyone confirm this goes on indefinitely if one doesn't pick up the quest?

Comment by Whiterock

In order to getPay Attention! you must completeGirding Our Loins before acceptingHelm's Deep.
Better Late Than Dead andThe Abyssal Ride are NOT needed to takeGimme Shelter! and followups, however that would make you unable to getGood Deed Left Undone.
Lady La-La's Necklace have 0% drop chance beforeOphidophobia done and 100% after, however anyone can share you this quest as long as you are 80+lvl.
Anyone can takeVengeful Heart and do it's followups as long as they are 80+lvl. Quests above are NOT needed for it.

<<Feedback here, please>>

Comment by royan

I didn't try to loot the Naga during the quest figuring I could collect it all when I was done but when the quest ends so does the loot! Nada from the Naga unless u loot as you go.

Comment by Featherstar47

I decided to read up on this quest, I had plenty of time for it I suppose. Then I came to a different page and took interest, and read up on it. Then I got to looking up the quest, and needed to go back into the game to see the name of it. When I looked, I saw the quest completed, and the Naga had left the chamber.

In other words, you can just stand there and do nothing.

Comment by Codybold

This quest is impossible to finish. I've waited for hours--watching tv, movies, sleeping for the night, I've even attacked the Fathom Lord, along with others. The count goes to 49/50 then starts over 1/50 and disappears. I've left the game several times. Next, I'm going to log out completely and see if that doesn't make it click. Looks like I'll have to ask the GM to fix it.

Comment by hs122

This quest is currently bugged. The final boss of it cannot be hit by anything due to being stuck in the ground. All you get is the Evade thing.

Comment by dracofulmen

Still bugged. The boss is at 2 health and doesn't take damage.
