You will continue to circle over the naga until you get all your kills.

Archaeans need to be bombed twice to kill them.
Their NPC name will be red at first, before any are bombed, and turn pinkish after they've been hit the first time.

Comment by Delfie211

Don't forget: "Speak to Enginner Hexascrub just outside of the building to join the assault"

Don't talk to him at 49, 49, otherwise you'd be lost like i was and feel like a complete idiot afterwards.

Comment by 673383

i dropped this quest because i couldn't find the correct hexascrub so i thought it was bugged. now i can't seem to find the admiral who gave out the quest... please help!

Comment by Fidax

I did the exact same thing... But u can retake the quest at 33,68 .. Inside the "cave"
Good luck

Comment by 725471

do u get a bomb/ mount after talking to the engineer? i dont get anything after talking to him..

Comment by Merkel

Engineer Hexascrub is the gnome standing next to the seahorse on your immediate right when you exit the building.

This is an "on rails" bombing run, and unlike previous "on rails" quests in the game, this one keeps you mounted and circling the enemy until you choose to dismount, so you don't have to worry if you didn't kill enough on the first run.

All easy kills, but note that the Archaeans take two hits to kill.

Comment by 718647

Make sure your sea legs kicks in before you mount, otherwise you'll drown. There's no dismounting mid-quest, either.

Comment by Jonse

If you do not get credit for kills, try not targetting mobs before bombing them, that worked for me.

Comment by 768531

its easy the enginner is at the lower level of the structure.the big ones needs two shots to kill them.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't seeing anymore quests after having done one of the 3 vision quests. Finally, after looking online and roaming around the Quel'Dormir buildings, I found that there was one quest hidden inside the bottom level of one of the buildings that I did not get yet.

The quest giver is Admiral Dvorek at 33.0, 69.0 inside the bottom level of the building.

Almost all of these quests are part of a chain so I recommend reviewing wowhead member (wharris)'s quest line guide to figure out what quests you missed.

Comment by 1104392

The quest showed as "completed" for me, but it kept sending me back in circles. So I just had to quit WOW, and when I logged back in I was off the mount and could simply turn in the quest.

Comment by 1114220

Confirming bug. Alliance.

Comment by Examine

I can confirm as of 5/3/13 that this quest is infact still bugged. Once completed, you will continue to circle endlessly until you log out, wait a short period of time and log back in.

This will port you to the nearest graveyard and you will then be able to turn in the quest directly.

Comment by capnbiff

Fixed as of March 28, 2020. Got all kills, let the autopilot run, it brought me around and I saw the yellow ?. Dropped me off next to Admiral Dvorek, turned in the quest easy as pie. Immediately quests “Gauging Success” from Admiral Dvorek and “Fallen but not Forgotten” from Captain Taylor became available.

Swift Action

Speak to Engineer Hexascrub just outside of the building to join the assault, then use your improvised explosives to kill 100 Azsh'ir Soldiers, 20 Azsh'ir Wave Screamers, and 12 Azsh'ir Archaens.

	Speak to Engineer Hexascrub (1)
	Azsh'ir Soldier slain (100)
	Azsh'ir Wave Screamer slain (20)
	Azsh'ir Archaean slain (12)

Description

We have everything we need to begin the attack.

If your claims were correct, you would do well to make sure you cling tight to your mount as we make the attack. Anyone who gets caught in the open water isn't likely to out-swim a naga.

Kill as many as you can as we make the attack run and we'll rendezvous on the broken ledge of the terrace above once we've expended our explosives. Hopefully by that point there will be few enough that we can finish them off the old-fashioned way.
