The Army of Meridian Quest

[gigi]

I have spent days on this big long quest and am at the end part of it, i.e. save the king in that dark hole!
However, this must be a sadist who wrote this quest or somebody who wanted to sabotage ESO to get rid of customers!
You have to "follow a shadow runner" who must not see you. However he runs through all the stupid enemies thicker than normal who all attack you and then, " oh sh.... you lost the runner".
Once I lost him just near the place I had to find and I went in but the King's ghost will not give me the correct words. I still have "follow the shadow runner" ... to finish. WT...
I have even been INSIDE the place where the King is kept since I have done ALL the quests.

I have followed that runner for the last six hours every time started again and followed and now am so fed up I want to throw my computer out the window!!!
Thank G.d for other games on the market and I was such an idiot wanting to pre order the expansion. But I am not suicidal so I won't.

Anybody have any advice on this freaking quest?

theres a trick to it, you need to pick up the orbs.

Thanks for that, I watched it right away and I have done that part about at least 15 times. I always get more or less where you got to and then too many mobs or fighting and the runner disappears. Maybe it is a bug. I just got so sick of it.
The way they are so vague with quests and what quests belong together for one large aim or what are just little filler quests, they show no difference and the long wait every time for it to load and the long history they get into when they talk....... I think it was just getting too frustrating. But thanks a lot for your help

You can pass around most of the mobs without attacking. If you do lose the runner, simply bypass that part by going to the location where the runner is heading, which is a bit west of the skyshard near the broken bridge with the floaty bits. Head towards the Lightless Oubliette and follow the wall around until you see a group of the shadow elves with a lamia.

Just did this myself. It's difficult and your not wrong that it's not exactly intuitive. The stealth passives and racials might help - Bosmer, kitty and Thieves Guild. Items would probably help as well. When I did it I played with the range a little bit. You don't have to be right on top of the runner. As long as you can see the little chevron over his head, you're still following him so you don't have to stay too close to him. I think as long as you hear him talk (he only has two lines and repeats them over and over) you're good to go.

Have you done the Everful Flaggon? I loved that quest and its in the same area. Good luck!
