Level 20 CRU to SHD quest? (aka. Nektulos - Hello Mr. Giant)Follow

Where does this begin?

The only Hallmark quest I have found is "Calling of the Forrest", is this it or is this another quest?

I have been working on this quest since I got the other day, mostly just using it as a reason to explore Nektulos Forrest (of which I have done thoroughly).

I currently, after repeatedly getting my *** handed to me by the giants there, am looking to kill the undead to gaint their 'sight' so I can translate the writing on some ruins.

Ahh ok, I know who you are talking about... the one that is normally very snotty.

Still not sure what that hallmark's for. It's not the SK hallmark though. That's in Freeport. I don't have my book with me but the NPC/Zone you need is in the book under the "Hallmark Quests" section.

Basically, you go kill the Dervish Go-Between in the commonlands (south of the maze/FG) and then you must go fight more Dervish in a instanced zone called the "Storage Room" in the Serpent's Sewer:

The instanced battle is quite easy. Getting there is harder. If you're trying to get there solo, I suggest just sprinting past all the aggro mobs. Most of them won't give chase for very far.

Once you're inside, you've got plenty of time to buff/med up because they won't be in aggro range. There's 2 sets of mobs which where green and blue to me at lvl 19 (solo rated with arrow down). Pull the green mobs first with Righteous Anger and med/buff and then pull the blues. Very simple fight, nothing to really worry about.

damn I type slow :)

Subvert is correct. I didn't have much trouble getting through Serpent Sewer until I ran into Stench. Of course I sprinted to the exit and reentered. A nice troll SK showed me the storage room finally. I did the quest at 18 and it was pretty easy. I loaded up my AoE combat skills and spells and used them first after dragging one with Righteous Anger.
