Alien Ecology

Use the Scraping Vial to collect a Hive Wall Sample from one of the Gorishi hive hatcheries in Un'Goro Crater. Look for the chambers with the hanging larval spawns.

Bring the Hive Wall Sample to Hol'anyee Marshal in Un'Goro Crater.
Hive Wall Sample
Provided Item:
Unused Scraping Vial

Description

Just because we've suffered a setback doesn't mean that research must stop! We were investigating the Gorishi insects in the southern part of the crater before winding up here. Their presence is alien to the ecology of Un'Goro, and we want to find out why.

In their hive network must be larval hatcheries. You can identify these places by their hanging larval spawns. Use this vial to take a sample of the hive wall near any of the hatcheries. Bring it back to me for study, but be careful!

Reward

Also, you get: 40

Progress

Do you have the sample of the Gorishi hive for me to study, <name>?

Completion

Yes, this will do nicely. You've been a great help... I wish I could give you more than this, but being virtually stranded in the middle of a savage land does limit what I can and cannot give. Rest assured though - the research done here would not have been possible without your assistance!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 305 experience (18 30 at max. level)

First larvae room when you enter. Use vial in the middle of the room. Helps to clear it out first, only two 52s (possible to pull one at a time) when I did it.
Coords: 49, 85

GO LEFT.

I don't know about anyone else, but Chamrick's comment about ""the one to the right of it"" confused me. As soon as you enter the cave, you want to go left, and there are only two mobs there as previously said (not counting one pat).

You don't even have to clear the room. Using the vial counts as a spell actually and will not be interrupted.

For this quest, you have to be standing on top of the mound in the center of the room in order to complete it. I had previously thought that you had to be standing next to a wall to get the sample. Well, as confusing as the wording for the quest was, stand on the mound. Otherwise you will run around for an hour like I did.

Keep your eyes open on this one, one of these creatures put a disease (Silithid Pox) on me that increased the melee dmg i took by 42% and lasted 30 minutes (Thus i died and lost it ^^)
Resulted in mobs hitting 200 dmg on me and im a mage =D

So soloing this as a lvl 50 mage i experienced as quite a pain, since when i had cleaned the room to get this thing they all respawned and i had to go all out to escape XD

In the end, i only killed the one to the right in the room where to get the hive, and then only slightly on the little pile there to avoid aggroing the other one. Takes a few secs to cast it.

Enter the cave at 50,80
Go left at the fork inside
Use the vial on the mound at 49,85

(I couldn't find the cave beause I was looking for it at 49,85 lol. Hopefully this helps others who do too.)

These mobs cast the most annoying and most overpowered debuff there is. Silithid Pox which increase physical damage taken by 42%, not for 1 minutes, not for 2 minutes, for a freaking 30 MINUTES ! If you can't cure disease be prepared to get hit for CRAZY damage.

Are you guys sure to take a left? I took a right and went straight for the very back room that looks like a circle in the cave, might be two hatcheries, i don't know, just thought I'd put that in there. Also, if your a warlock use your voidwalker, and once you get the stuff run out until u start drawing aggro, then sacrifice and Howl of terror if there gets to be too many (there shouldn't) and if your not a warlock, you could also use a talisman of arathor and if your a warlock with a talisman that's even better (this is from a stand point if you decide to go to the left and not the right, but I imagine it would be a very quick escape if you bubbled and ran out from the left) Also, paladins and mages bubble your self with any protection you have it works nicely.

Well, the quest says 'any of the gorishi hives'.. so I guess you could go right too, but left is faster, according to my minimap ;)

I'm not sure if this was mentioned: There is no physical item, you walk into the center of the room and clock your ""bottle"" you were given. Then it will collect a sample. (49, 85) is correct.

When I went in there I went in first room and walked a bit tried to do it and couldn't. I just left the room and moved on in there, found the Clutch Mother and tried in the middle of that room. Yay! Bottle! Then I found out I didn't have to die twice by moving forward in..
