Suncrest #4: The Tidewater Clan Goblins (Repayment)  

First, you do need the Amulet of the Risen Tide to get in the cave. It'll say something about a blue glow and the door will unlock. I went in and the others didn't get in fast enough and were locked out.

When we first did this, I didn't know exactly how this worked and was running in circles after the crystals. We ended up with 4 elementals on us. We almost didn't survive from laughing so hard.

This is what we figured out: There are 4 Protectors that look like crystals that circle the big crystal you're to destroy. As you fight them, the elementals will pop. After the first attempt we determined the best strategy was to DoT all the crystals at the same time from a distance. Once they were down low, then blew them apart with spells. They all were destroyed nearly the same time and no elementals showed up. Once destroyed then we used the Amulet of the Risen Tide to shake the place up and turned in the 4 heads we had looted.

It was so much easier to DoT them than running in circles chasing after them.

Destroying the Crystal means using the Amulet of the Risen Tide looted in the previous mission.

The cave is loctated on the hillside wall (big metal doors) that is on the tidewater side of the island, near the center lake (or better, below the lake). It wasn't on my map, but it is there.

There is one large crystal in the center with about 4 to 6 "A Protector" crysrtals. definitely 4, but I'm thinking there were 6. Anyway - you need to kill them before you can use the Amulet of the Risen Tide while up on the platform where the big crystal (non-targetable).

They have to be dead to use the Amulet of the Risen Tide. Don't kill them fast enough and they respawn, so beware! You have have 2 charges on the Amulet of the Risen Tide!

Once you get the click done, then "click at" the big crystal to destroy it (the zone will shake).

Final step is:

Deliver 4 Tidewater Goblin Head to Daemon Darkdawn

(Not a hail, as currently liste din the above walk thru).

Exact same dialogue as previous tasks. You wouldn't know you were fighting a new one if weren't assigned a different task.

You say, 'Hail, Daemon Darkdawn'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Yar, landlubber! What be ye doing here? If yer lookin ta join me crew, that ship has [gone] and sailed.'

You say, 'Gone?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. Well, more like sank. Them snog-bottomed goblins killed most o' me crew and scuttled me ship! Thems of us that survived were picked up by another crew and dropped here. I shoulda left by now, but I'm not done with them [stinkin' goblins].'

You say, 'Stinkin' goblins?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Aye. I been learnin what I can about 'em, especially them ones that be out on [Suncrest]. I want me revenge on them, and I'm going to get it. Maybe you'd be [interested] in helpin' out? If you send enough of them to the halls of Prexus, I can probably find some booty ta give ya for it.'

You say, 'Suncrest?'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Suncrest is one of them islands out near that big whirlpool. It's just east of it. It's full o' them goblins, both kinds. There's the ones that live in the water and the ones that live near that volcano thar. I don't know much about the little beggars, but I been talking with Brynden Snow an' he knows a lot about that island and the goblins there. I be havin' trouble getting' him to cough up what I want to know. But you can certainly kill some of them big-eared rat goblins for me. You [interested]?'

You say, 'I am interested.'

Daemon Darkdawn says 'Good. Now listen up. I want that fire goblin king's head. I want you to go fetch it for me. This is the revenge me crew be needin'.'

You have been assigned the task 'Repaying the Tidewater Goblins in Full'.
