Revision 1

Overview

Karin Quarry is a quarry located in the northeastern part of the Hernand region. Long held by the Roberts family, the quarry became a site of both mining operations and archaeological excavation after ancient artifacts were discovered beneath its stone. The quarry has since been seized by the Bleed Bandits, who use a massive drilling machine to strip the site of its resources. Players must liberate the quarry as part of the House Roberts faction questline.

Location

Karin Quarry sits north of the Goldleaf Trading Post, which is itself in the northeast of the City of Hernand. To reach the quarry, head north from the trading post and traverse the hill. The quarry occupies a wide open-pit area surrounded by rocky cliffs, with an Abyss Nexus positioned southwest of the Karin Quarry Rest Area.

Karin Quarry is situated within the broader Rocca's Hill area, east of Hernand proper.

Quests

Stolen Quarry is the primary faction quest associated with Karin Quarry. Given by Leon Roberts as part of the House Roberts questline, the objective is to drive out the Bleed Bandits occupying the quarry and defeat the boss guarding it. Completing this quest requires finishing the prerequisite quest "Troubled Count" first.

Sealed in Stone is the follow-up quest at Karin Quarry. After clearing the bandits, players must operate a crane to move a large stone cube blocking further progress deeper into the quarry.

Boss: Marni's Excavatron

The Marni's Excavatron is a mechanical boss encountered during the Stolen Quarry quest. This large drilling machine, operated by the Bleed Bandits, serves as the quarry's main threat. The Excavatron attacks with its massive drills and can burrow underground for surprise attacks.

The most effective strategy is to use the Force Palm skill to stagger the Excavatron when its drills light up. This not only staggers the boss but also cancels its dangerous Dig attack. Damiane is particularly effective here thanks to her agile attacks and area-of-effect skills.

Tips

• Complete the Troubled Count quest before attempting Stolen Quarry, as it is a prerequisite.

• Use Force Palm to stagger the Excavatron when its drills glow. This cancels the Dig attack and opens a large damage window.

• Consider switching to Damiane for the boss fight if you struggle with Kliff, as her agility and AoE skills work well in this arena.

• There is an Abyss Nexus southwest of the quarry rest area that allows quick return visits.
