Objectives

Using your KTC Snapflash, capture images at the bouncing cameras of the three cave paintings and the pygmy altar.

Cave Painting 1 Captured
Cave Painting 2 Captured
Cave Painting 3 Captured
Pygmy Altar Captured

Provided item:

[KTC Snapflash]

Description

Heya, <name>, there are strange cave paintings and other artifacts all over the cavern.

Do you think you could use your belt-mounted KTC Snapflash camera to capture images at the designated spots? Also, snap a pic of the altar in the back of the cavern.

I'm sure that Sassy^{[27.9, 75.5]} will want the intel.

Progress

<Name>, you look like you've been spelunking.

Completion

What are these?

Clearly that pygmy witchdoctor is from some new race never seen before. Maybe we should call them <name>-ians?

They must be the ones that painted all of that stuff in the cavern. I'm not sure that I like what you're describing.

It sounds to me like they're paintings of them and us on an island with an exploding volcano!

Locations

Cave Painting 1 -

Walk inside the Cavern and follow the path to the left. The painting will be on the wall on the left-hand side.

Cave Painting 2 -

Can be seen when walking straight into the Cavern, down the tunnel and on the right-hand side. If on the quest Miner Troubles, it is best to follow the miner down the path, past the first painting, and then around the corner. If not on the quest (contrary to popular belief), you may take a picture from the ledge - making certain to grab Cave Painting 1 as well - and then jump down.

Cave Painting 3 -

Follow the path that continues from Cave Painting 2. It is a relatively straight shot, and the Painting will be on the right-hand side near some stony vents.

Pygmy Altar -

After Cave Painting 3, follow the path into the cavern. Follow the wall to the right and it will open to where the Pygmy Witchdoctor is standing with the Dead Orc Scout. The Altar is right next to them. The Witchdoctor has a fast respawn, so be quick.

For added reference, see the Media section.

Dialogue

If with the Frightened Miner. Reaching the first cave painting:

Frightened Miner says: Whoa! What's with all of the cave paintings? Ack, do I hear monkeys?!

The miner will say something random at the second and third ore deposits and cave paintings.

Final ore deposit and pygmy altar:

Frightened Miner says: That's good enough for now. I'll make my way out on my own. Thanks for the escort, <name>!

Notes

Using the camera will drop players from [Stealth].
While escorting the Frightened Miner in Miner Troubles, players enter the Kaja'mite Cavern and pass the first cave painting. Look for a wireframe camera icon in front of each objective. The second one is up high!
Also at the pygmy altar is the Pygmy Witchdoctor and the Dead Orc Scout. The dead scout offers Orcs Can Write?, the lead-in to the goblins joining the Horde.
