If you have a pet you need to dismiss it before approaching Millhouse. Otherwise he aggros it and you wont get the quest completed. My main advices on this quest would be "be patient" and "dont aggro anything".

Comment by 4318

This is what you need to do:

-Get the box from the Trog Area earlier in the lake.
-Go where the Elite Ogre Bodyguards are and use the box and stand in the water.
-If you get too close to where they attack you, run away and don't kill anything.
-When you see the shouted red text "Here she comes boss" wait and don't move until you get credit. You will also get a buff called "submerged" when this happens, but all you need to do is wait for the shout and stay put.

That is all you need to do.

People running around, too close or attacking the bodyguards will ruin the quest and you need to back up and come close again until you get the "Here she comes boss" message."(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Comment by Hezkezl

I wasn't able to get this quest to go until I went just east of Millhouse's position, underneath the quicksilver. Swim around until you find the right spot. If you turn and face Millhouse, you should be lined up directly with him if you face west. If you're lined up with any of the ogres, you've moved too far.

Comment by 154957

Step1. Get in the water away from the ogres. while the ogres are spawned.

Step2. Use the box.

Step3. Move closer to the ogres. DO NOT LET YOUR BODY SHOW.

Step4. Enjoy the cinematic.

Comment by mkrivacek

I was at location 75.49 , 65.19 (in water) - no aggro, got quest finished (after short movie).

Comment by 148775

The trogg crate can be found at 71,64

Comment by theconfessor

The crates spawn in random places. See edit below.

As for the more tedious part of the quest, getting to the cinematic... Here is probably the SAFEST way.

1: make sure you are at least one whole island away from Millhouse. use the crate and get in the water.

2: making sure you don't wander close enough to stop swimming, make your way counter-clockwise around the island in between you and Millhouse.. stay in the water and attempt to swim past him.

3: watch cinematic

3.a: profit

4: when you leave the cinematic.... do not simply jump out of water. Stay underwater and swim around toward where you started. you will be sufficiently far away to hop out of water with a completed quest.

Edit: 01/06/2013

It looks like either because of MoP, or a previous fix.. the glittering effect which identifies a lootable box has been slightly intensified. Also, it seems the window for activating the cinematic has been widened as well. Having done this quest in Cata about 8 times (yes, 1 main, 7 alts) I brought my 8th alt through and accidentally swam to far out and deep than before and the scene still occurred.

Comment by ThePeno

I was able to trigger the cutscene when I reached 75.30, 64.87 (in the water).

Comment by Catriona

For some reason after I got the cutscreen, Millhouse chased me around the zone, randomly appearing and attacking me (including while I paused in midair, high above the ground, to check my quest log). He did not go away after I turned in the quest, so I stopped and beat him until he turned green and said "You'll never catch me alive!". I stayed in combat until I ran far enough away. I have no idea what could have caused this.

Comment by 587858

if by any chance you abandon this quest, you could take this quest from Maruut Stonebinder at the Temple of Earth

Comment by 697659

If you keep this quest in your log, anytime you go underwater you receive a buff called Submersion where you have no breathe bar and you cannot drown.

Obviously you can't complete Deepholme without continuing, but if you were racing to 85 like me and coincidentally dinged right when you got this quest, then you carried this buff everywhere there was water, lol.

Comment by Althizor

Submerge myself in a pool of mercury?

No problem, I'm a warrior. I didn't need those brain cells anyway.

Comment by Sarabee213

Yes druids, you can fly around as a bird with a box on your head. xD

Comment by 113229

Metal Gear Solid's theme song is a requirement in order to finish this quest.

Comment by bravetab

So the little gnome, Millhouse Manastorm, seemed familiar to me for some reason....While thinking about it, it suddenly hit me.

This is the same little bastard we saved in the Arcatraz instance in the outlands!
Millhouse Manastorm

Oh sweet dear gnome, why did you turn to the darkside?

Comment by 276651

While you're getting your crate, you might as well kill the nearby Murkstone Trogg and get the quest item, Maziel's Research and kill a few oozes.

Comment by 637770

I didn't see it mentioned above, but if you esc out of the cut scene you may not get credit for the quest as I didn't...

Comment by regma

Of note: for some reason you might keep the "submerged" buff after this.
If you right click it. you will lose it.

Comment by bmtphoenix

You no take crate!

Comment by Blacktank

SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING:

1. Put on the crate
2. Go into the water in front of the camp to submerge yourself. Don't go to close
3. Log out
4. Log in
5. Voila, there's your cutscene
6. Do NOT immediately skip the cutscene or the quest will not appear finished.

Comment by Machariel

I pressed esc and confirmed to skip the video (have already seen it twice with other chars) and the quest didnt complete.
Tried to approach again but the vid didnt trigger.
Aborted to retake but going in and out of the area didnt come up with the usual pop up.
I had to go back to Temple of the Earth to get the quest from Maruut Stormbinder

Also while doing that quest dont forget to kill a mercurial ooze to get a quest item and start another small chain around this area.

Comment by shaidyn

Note: If you skip the cinematic, you fail the quest.

If you fail the quest, you can't get another crate, you have to drop the quest and pick it up again.

Comment by mewmewface

k after half an hour figuring this out

a) get the crate, its brown and its all over the place
b) u see the red ogres in that same area? dont go near them, use the crate and dont let them see u, go submerged on the water near them
c) be on the look out for millhouse, get near him but dont let him see u
d) a cinematic will happen, as previously stated on another post, dont click ESCAPE or else quest wont be done
e) quest done

*sorry for my poor english"*

Comment by Zazzy

The exact position you need is 75.22, 64.75. Approach from the water and within a minute the film sequence will begin. If it doesn't then approach the guard to the right of Millhouse(His left) and run away into the water so that he chases you. Don't fight him. After you leave combat approach to the above coordinates. The sequence will definateley run then.

Hope it helps.

Comment by 738940

If you abandon the Quicksilver Submersion quest out of frustration if it doesn't work the first (or second, or third) time like I did, visit Maruut Stonebinder in the Temple of Earth to get it again.

Also, if you are sitting there in the water with the crate on your head and nothing is happening (i.e., the ogres and the gnome are there, but no cutscene), swim away a little bit and then swim back, and the cutscene should begin.

Be sure to kill a trogg while you're there--they drop an item that begins the Twilight Research quest.

Comment by Micke

As shadow priest, does not work in Shadowform.

Comment by markeloff

Just to see if would work, I tried going into stealth mode and swimming up to Millhouse without using the box. I swam by M and the ogres undetected but didn't start the cinematic. Sorry, Rogues, like it or not, you gotta use the box to finish the quest.

Comment by 768877

If you've never done this quest before watch this youtube video which will show you how to do it. Made it very easy for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qapm9-umGQg

Comment by 800601

The problem you guys are having is that,,.... you have to use crate b4 going up to the area, use the crate then walk into water towards goblin.

Comment by Starkie

Rogues, don't be stealthed...took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working...

Comment by Felidire

Anyone know who she's talking about when she says: "Lets just say we ahve friends in high places, forgemaster."

?

Comment by 565886

thanx to oliveoyle for making the comment....everybody isnt dumb because they do things wrong. they just do not know. sometimes it would be good if you would understand that a lot of us are still learning this game even at higher levels there is so very much to learn. i make a whole lot of mistakes...a whole lot. difference is when i see somebody that needs assistance i always try to give it. KARMA!

Comment by 842679

Stupid! I just spent 30 minutes trying to do this quest with my second toon first was smooth as silk..........second one I didn't even put on the box 1 jumped in the water, swam to the left of the ogres and poooof cinematics no box required lol

Comment by kolvirelune

I made the mistake to kill an ogre and the quest did not work for some time even though I had the submerged buff, the crate and was close enough.
Then the ogre respawned but it did not help until he saw me chased me and left combat as I had fled this time. Then I came back and as soon as I got into the water, not so close from the gnome then (75.0 64.7) and not even wearing the crate on me anymore i got the suberged buff the cinematic started and the quest completed.

Comment by EyeSage

It bugs out because you put the box on your head before getting in the water.

Comment by 526192

The cutscene well near gave me a heart attack!

*watching lady slowly walk up to gnome*

...

"FORGEMASTER!"

Comment by Trembok

When I first did this quest, Manastorm's dialogue did not show up on the screen. So for anyone else who missed it, here is the exchange:

Ogre Bodyguard yells: Here she comes, boss!
High Priestess Azil yells: Forgemaster! I've been informed the enemy has disrupted your operations. Where is the fragment?
Millhouse Manastorm says: The fragment is now in the dragon's custody, ma'am.
High Priestess Azil says: Well done. Meet me inside the Stonecore for further instructions.
Millhouse Manastorm says: Of course, ma'am. At once!
Millhouse Manastorm says: If you don't mind me asking. How did we manage to recover the fragment? How did we infiltrate our enemies' forces without their knowledge?
High Priestess Azil says: Let's just say we have friends in high places, forgemaster.

Comment by 734972

Solution to bugged quest problem - abandon and reacquire (this means flying back to the temple of the earth, getting the quest again, and flying back). Second time it worked for me, but i've heard with other cata bugged quests it may take more than one try.

Comment by 624027

May sound "noobesque" but hunters, dismiss pet ! Mine aggroed the guards !

Comment by lunawren

For those of you who can't find the crate:

Fly above the camp where the quest will be done.
To the northeast of where you are you will see a little mini island with a tiny rock formation on it
Fly to it. Right behind it should be a little stack of boxes (only one will be glittery) guarded by a trogg. There ya go.

Now here comes the tricky part:
Go submerge yourself in the water next to the forgemaster. Put on the box.
Swim all the way to your left until you're behind the ogre body guard. If it doesn't trigger immediately from you being behind this ogre, swim back and forth (left to right and vice versa) until it triggers. This did it for me. I didn't need to walk on land for it to work, but be careful in doing so if needed.

I didn't skip the cinematic so I don't know if exiting out will cause the quest to be incomplete, but I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you're patient enough to fly back to the temple and back again to do it over.

Comment by Whiterock

Comment by Joime

I think the quest bugs if you aggro the trolls to begin with.
I didn't read the quest properly and just ran straight into the middle of the camp with the box on my head like a newwwb and aggro'd everything. I ran away and then came back and got into the water etc, but i couldn't do anything to trigger the cinematic, i'm not saying for definate that if you aggro them it bugs the quest, just a possiblity as I could not seem to trigger the cinematic.
I had to abandon the quest and then get the quest again from Maruut Stonebinder in the Temple of Earth, after that, it worked fine.

Comment by 934460

I'm not sure if anyone else ran into this problem, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I didn't even need to use the box to complete this quest. I'm not sure if I was misreading earlier posts, but I was swimming up to the island Millhouse is on and waiting for the cut-scene WITH the box on my head. After ten or so minutes of it not working, I reread the posts and thought, maybe I put the box on after I'm in place. The cut-scene started without me having the box on my head. So, if you're having a lot of problems with this quest, you could try that. Or I could have just run into a bug and you could be killed by ogres.

Comment by wtfoomnofair

High Priestess Azil says: Well done. Meet me inside the Stonecore for further instructions.
Millhouse Manastorm says: *giggles* Of course, ma'am. At once!

haha, I see what you did there blizzard.

Comment by TrishaDC19

Crate is at 71,64

Comment by 941326

All these comments and none that say where Crate is. lol Ok Crate is 71 and 64 the decimal points are not needed to find, You will see them. Spawn rate for Troggs a almost immediate at Crate Site. If you do not have map add on, there is a purple spire rock sticking up from an island in the Lake. It very close to that. I looked fore Crate 15 minutes. Hope your faster.

Comment by lunawren

This quest is frustrating and every time I do it I need to come to wowhead and see the different tricks to get it finished.

Anyway, after spending 10 minutes being Michael Phelps I right clicked my box off and swam to the edge of the water (towards the tent) and the cinematic worked. No box needed.

*flip table*

Comment by 769220

Crates are located at 71.9/63.9. They have stars eminating from them so just left click and you've acquired a crate. Just make sure your in Deathwing's Fall and not Deepholm, however, the coordinates will lead you to the right location.

I went into the water first then clicked on the crate and one appeared on my head. Perfect.

I emerged in back of an Orge standing by himself. They don't seem to aggro much since I weas litterally almost directly in back of him. I would not recommend attacking one alone as they have health of prox 243k. Not something to play with without a pet or someone else.

Submerged with the box floating above me I moved left until I was parellel to Millhouse and BLAM! Quest Completed.

Then the cutscene took over and High Priestess Anzil tells Millhouse who has the fragment.

Comment by Ellinna

It made me giggle a little when I looted the crate and a Trogg charged me saying "You no take crate!"

I felt as though there should have been a crate reward with a message "I TAKE crate!"

Sadly, there's only the lower level, Alliance quest that does that (that I know of).

Comment by 994802

Every time I come across this quest I know I'm going to have problems like I had every other time I with other toons. ! Good lucks guys

Comment by Xkiller9000

This was glitched on my hunter for a long time, i spent like an hour trying to get it, for hunters try dismissing your pet first, otherwise without a pet or for any other class, go to 74.54, 64.20 and go underwater and put on the box, then go to 74.86, 64.91 to trigger the cinematic.

Comment by 994802

Okay, so i started this again. knocked out out in about 5 seconds. This is how i did it: I went on the island (74.97, 64.56) right in front of the bosses, put the box on walked toward them making myself under the water within a couple seconds it was complete!

Comment by Vaystre

I just managed to complete this quest and it happened completely differently from the top comment.

Here's how I managed it;

I picked up the crate with no problem, once I had it I ran over to the little camp. I tried standing and waiting in the water near the gnome and near the ogres to his left and right. Nothing happened.

I got agro from the ogre to his left and ran backwards towards the wall. I ran round and managed to drop the agro. As I was swimming back to the camp I suddenly got into the cutscene that gave me the credit. (There was no red text indicating the start of the cutscene)

Hopefully this helps for anyone that is still having trouble.

Comment by 1025547

Step 1: Grab the Crate from the place on the map
Step 2: Fly over to the NPC's
Step 3: Right click the crate and swim UNDER-water ( Under the water is important ) up and down and it will phase you out.

End of.

Thanks for the gay men.

Comment by Forsakengirl13

I had trouble finding the crate to hide in, but it's not all that difficult. Keep an eye out for a trogg and follow him, he'll bring you to where several other troggs are amassing crates. Simply take one and go sit yourself in the water and right click it. Inch forward until the cutscene starts.

Comment by Gemini4t

During the cinematic, when High Priestess Azil comes in and shouts "Forgemaster!" I could swear she says "Fartmaster!"

Comment by Engrelled

Approach from the northeast, which is from Maelstrom's right side and farthest away from the ogres.

Comment by imthewalrus37

It seems that they put a swirling pool in the water. I don't remember it being there before. Just use the crate and go in and out of the swirling pool until it goes to the cinematic.

Comment by Thebe2

this seems to be over analyzed, or at least I just gave up reading.
Here's what I did. Get the crate at 71 64, flew to the center of the island in front of the ogre camp at 75 64.23. put the crate on, like an upside box on your head. go off the side of the island into the mercury and just inch toward the tent. cinematic starts, quest complete, swim back to island. fly away. I was expecting a lot more...

Comment by conetopia

The trogg crate can be found at 71,64

then go to 75,65
Go under the water.
right click the trogg crate.
Just sit for about 1 Minute while these Little people talk about a story...
You might have to wait up to 2 minutes for the boss to swim up to them via water.
You might also have to walk around a little bit underwater from 75,63 to 75,66.
and then Quest complete.

I started at the land mass looking at Millhouse from behind-put box on head, stepped in water and TAADAA! roll clip.

If you aggro, run away to reset the mobs. Then make sure you reequip a fresh box.

Coordinates for cinematic to begin 75.0 64.8 but make sure you are submerged.

Comment by Am0rn

I had trouble with this quest on an alt I was levelling. No matter what I did the cut-scene would not play and none of the advice I could find here seemed to help. Then I noticed a Mercurial Ooze was stuck in the wall of the tent behind the bodyguards. I killed it (it constantly evades so you need to burst it down fairly quickly) and what do you know, the quest started working straight away. I've since come back on another alt and found the same thing, Ooze stuck in the tent and the quest isn't working. Killed the Ooze and once again the quest starts working.

Hope this saves someone some frustration!

- grab Trogg crate (will aggro an angry trog)
- run around the quest area, be sure to miss the ogres
- there's a small island behind the camp in the water, put the crate on there, and swim towards Millhouse while staying submerged

Comment by 1594949

Just in case the reason wasn't mentioned in previous comments, don't kill the Ogre Bodyguards because you will have to wait for them to respawn (and it takes a bit). The cut scene will not activate while they are gone.

Comment by ashborn69

hunters , park your pet . mine agro'd the body guards , then i waited 3 min. or so i had to back up and move back in for the cut scene to start.

Comment by Gumdrops

If you receive an error that says 'You can't do that right now.' you need to disable any addons that try and skip cutscenes like BigWigs/DBM/ConsLegion/Zygor etc.

Comment by Umiamz

Currently levelling an alt (Disc Priest) for the first time since 7.3.5 dropped. Completed this quest without any issues but the ogres then attacked me. I've never had this happen before (and I'm an altoholic), so don't know whether it's a bug in 7.3.5 or I was just unlucky for once.

Comment by QueenSylvanas

The box is located in : 71.75, 64.27

Comment by Taydenger

The last stage of this quest is impossible. If anything, you're better off going to do a different questline or zone entirely.

I've tried edging up to Millhouse in the water, rushing it, and applying the box in the water. It is hopeless. If you wish to retain your sanity, I highly advise not doing this quest unless you're going for Loremaster.

Comment by Noxbag

I triggered the cutscene at coordinates: 74.89, 64.87. Good luck!

Comment by Ashthra16

A note for those of you, like me, who are using addons like AllTheThings, DBM, or AzerothAutoPilot--if you get to this quest, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SKIP CUTSCENE FEATURE TURNED OFF. If the cutscene does not fully play, the quest completion WILL NOT trigger. I spent the better part of 30 minutes killing the evaded ooze and fiddling back and forth before I realized what was going on.

Hopefully this helps some people.

Comment by snowthistle

To get this quest to work, stand nearby the camp on the shore that's closest to where you got the box. Put the box on and go into the water and swim to the bottom, then swim towards the camp. It should trigger then.

Comment by kaszasneni

I had to use the quest item inside my bag, because if I used it in the quest log as should be, it didn't work. 8.3

Comment by Omegawhale

The box for this quest isn't dropped by the troggs as one could assume.. it is on the ground @ 72 64

Comment by Liive123

I had to disable auto-cutscene skip in Azeroth Auto Pilot for this quest to work. I could get the "Here she comes, boss" trigger, but AAP would skip the cutscene and the quest wouldn't complete.

Comment by Lulli

Didn't work until I killed the 3 elite Orge's around the gnome.

I cutted the scene, which I see people speak about had to watch for to get it done - mine got completed anyway.

Comment by fokusrite

How to re-accept this quest if I accidentally abandoned it? Open a ingame ticket or?

Comment by Taurenmoo814U

This quest becomes more and more bugged. First the npcs dialogue just wasn't working, then the npcs just disappear during the 'cinematic', then when the quest ended you were teleported right back to near where you picked up the crate to begin with running into a mob.
And NOW you get teleported to open air and dropped killing you.
I know its older content blizzard, but here's a suggestion, fix your !@#$!

Links

Quicksilver Submersion

Obtain a Trogg Crate and use it to submerge yourself and eavesdrop on the Twilight's Hammer camp to the east.

	World Pillar Fragment clue uncovered (1)
	Trogg Crate (1)

Description

The troggs in Deepholm have proven to be every bit as hostile as the ones in Azeroth. Yet perhaps their presence will prove useful to our efforts.

The crates they use for trawling through the mercury will conceal you perfectly if you submerge yourself beneath the marsh.

Use it to approach the Twilight's Hammer camp in the eastern end of the Upper Silvermarsh undetected.
