General QuestNOTE: In order to take this quest, you must have completed another quest, Masters of the Black Siege.
Hithlim is worried the Orcs will get their siege weapons ready before action can be taken. Never fear, Hithlim, your fearless quest-doers are here!
For my group comparison, please check the Orcs of the Blood Mountain quest notes.
NOTE: For questal efficiency, try to work on other Dol Dinen quests at the same time. I did Weakening the Tide and Orcs of the Blood Mountain at the same time as this one.
STEPS:
1) Collect 5 ballista locks. Collect 5 catapult pinions. Collect 4 trebuchet swing-arms. Hithlim says to you:
"I need you to once again gather your companions and enter the encampment. Disable or destroy the catapults, trebuchets, and ballistae. If you fail here, we will stand little chance of victory in the future."
Here are some of the locations of these parts, which are spread out in the lower sections of Dol Dinen:
Trebuchet Swing-arm: (15.2s, 37.4w), (15.5s, 38.9w), (16.1s, 39.1w)
Catapult Pinions: (15.9s, 38w), (15.8s, 38.6w), (16.3s, 38.6w), (16.2s, 38.5w)
Ballista locks: (16.1s, 38w), (16s, 38.3w), (15.9s, 38.9w).
2) Deliver the siege-engine parts to Hithlim.
3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and either Hithlim's Mace or Hithlim's Bow.
