Go to Cut-Cliffs located north from the Meridian to get this quest. You can start this quest by talking to the Quarry Foreman there.
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Talk to Quarry ForemanGo to Cut-Cliffs and look for the Quarry Foreman. Start the quest by talking to him. |
| 2 |  Head towards the suspicious-looking mound at the center of the excavation site. A short cutscene will play showing a Rockbreaker appearing from the ground. |
| 3 |  Defeat the Rockbreaker. Put traps on the field while it's underground and target its weak points to kill it faster. |
| 4 |  Return to Quarry ForemanReturn to the Quarry Foreman to finish the quest and get your rewards. |
It's better to set up traps before inspecting the suspicious-looking mound to help you with the upcoming battle. All of them are effective against the Rockbreaker, even the wire traps from Tripcaster weapons.
You won't get attacked by the Rockbreaker as long as you stay quiet above ground. You can throw a Rock on your inventory to lure it out away from you while it's underground.
Use Tearblaster Arrows to remove all the Rockbreaker's Digging Arms. It will lose most of its mobility once they are gone, and it will be easier for you to hit it with your bow and arrow.
You can deal fatal damage to the Rockbreaker by destroying its Fuel Sacs to cause a large explosion. You can hit them freely if you manage to stun the Rockbreaker for a short while using Shock Traps, Shock Wires, Shock Arrows. Just make sure to shoot it from a distance, or you'll get caught up by the explosion!
