Guild Wars 2 – Help Blopp stop the Inquest from using Hylek Poison to drive lake creatures crazy

“Bring Blopp strands of lush kelp, dispatch Inquest, neutralize underwater poison ampoules, and defeat crazed creatures.

Head to the North from the Jeztar Falls Waypoint. There you will find Blopp standing by the shore of the Lake itself:
Blopp: “Unbelievable! The Inquest are using Durotl hylek poison for their nefarious deeds. It turns local wildlife into slavering beasts. But fear not, for I'm developing my own counter-measures against them.”
Hero: “What have you been working on?”
Blopp: “Only a specific type of kelp stops the effects of Durotl poison. My current project, the 'Countermeasure Harpoon,' can neutralize hylek poison if infused with this kelp.”
Hero: “Interesting. I'd like to help.”
Blopp: “Huzzah! I've been shorthanded since that ignoramus Fixx wandered off. I could use help dealing with the Inquest, acquiring kelp, and neutralizing the poison the Inquest has been storing up underwater.”
Hero A) “Where do I find this special kelp?”
Blopp A) “It's right under the Inquest noses and they don't even know it! Right here in the lake surrounding the large underwater structure you'll find the kelp I need to counteract the poison.”
Hero B) “How should I deal with the Inquest?”
Blopp B) “Simply take down their operatives. What better way to fix a problem than cut it off at its source? Dispatching a few of those Inquest goons would be a great help to the lake and the Durtl tribe.”
Hero C) “How can I help neutralize the hylek poison underwater?”
Blopp: “The Inquest have weaponized a new, concentrated version of the poison in the lake. Disabling the ampoules that contain it will dilute the poison before their process is finished. Expect them to notice your tampering.”

The first thing on the list is the kelp. Dive into the lake and start looking for Lush Kelp Beds along the bottom of the lake near the structure there. Interact with it to collect the kelp. Find all the pieces that you can then bring them back to Blopp. You will get credit for collecting the kelp and turning it in to Blopp as well. It is not a bad way to make quick work of this renown quest.

The second thing to worry about would be the underwater poison ampoules. First, look around them for the Inquest Engineer that is presently maintaining them. Not all of them have one so be grateful of that. Once you have taken that one out then you want to disable the ampoule. You will get credit for disabling it. At this point an Engineer will appear and attack you. Fight them off to earn more credit.

The final bits are not as common. The first is finding crazed animals. These can be the skales around the lake or the crabs wandering around the shore. Whatever they are, find them and defeat them to earn credit. The next one is simply finding Krewe members in need of aid. This will usually be those who have been downed. Just approach them and revive them as usual.

When you have finished this renown quest you will get the letter, “With Thanks” with 52 copper attached:
“'Hero's Name', thanks to your endeavors, the Inquest has lost both precious time and momentum in their ill-conceived research. Even though they outnumber us, we continually prove that brilliance trumps desperation. Keep up the good work – Blopp.”
