5	・Find a Cannon ・Kill the Tremortusk and the Rebels ・Loot the Tremortusk ・Return to the Bulwark Go back out and follow Kotallo to the Tremortusk.

Tips and Strategies

Hit the Tremortusk with Freeze

The Tremortusk deals big damage and can kill you easily when left alone, but inflicting it with the Freeze status condition will leave it effectively immobile.

Its Blaze Sac on its stomach is also a major weak point, so try to fill it with arrows as much as possible each time it rears up.

Fighting the Rebels

You can sneak up to the rebels and perform a Silent Strike. It should be enough to kill them instantly. You can also aim for their heads to deal increased damage.

Rebels with shields are weak against Acid Arrows. You can rain the rebels down using them to disable their shields temporarily and expose them to any attacks.

How to Fix Return to the Bulwark Bug

Kotallo sometimes gets bugged out when returning to the bulwark to fire off the cannon. To fix this, you can go up to base camp to trigger the autosave feature, select restart from save, and the quest should progress correctly from there.
