Objectives

Use the Elementium Grapple Line to pull 3 Servants of Therazane off of their feet.

• Servant of Therazane brought down (3)
•  [Elementium Grapple Line] (provided)

Description

We're fortunate dat those giants be havin' such bad aim. Luck is sure to be favorin' dem eventually though.

We need to get dem off da battlefield, but I don't tink takin' dem head on would be very smart.

Take dis grapplin' line, get a good hold on one of their ankles and pull their legs out from under dem. Once dey are on da ground, dey should be easy ta be finishin' off.

Rewards

You will receive: 8 60

Progress

Did it work, mon?

Completion

Dat will slow their assault a bit while Norsala be findin' a way to calm'm. We've no desire ta be remainin' enemies of Therazane the Stonemother.

Notes

Pick up  [30-35] Crumbling Defenses and  [30-35] Core of Our Troubles before heading out. Don't focus on killing giants. Focus on saving the shaman. Then kill giants once the shaman are saved.

Get within 10-15 yards of a servant then toss the grapple, which can be used while mounted:

The line is secured to his ankle. Pull away to trip him!

Do so. It won't interrupt the channel. Getting dropped will knock off a good half of the giant's health. Then, an Earthguard Sentinel will spawn to help finish the servant off:

• Earthguard Sentinel says: Need a hand?
• Earthguard Sentinel says: That's more like it.

The Sentinels often cast their own quite effective version of [Bloodlust], benefiting allies around them including the player.

The quest does not actually require killing the giants, only bringing them down.
