This quest can be soloed as long as you know what to expect and can be prepared for it. I just pulled it off with a level 21 mage. I wouldn't recommend trying to solo this before 20. This quest is easily done with two people, but if you're stuck on your own, I hope this helps get you through it.

First, note that Remtravel is indeed oblivious. He will not attack unless he is personally aggroed first, otherwise he will keep walking the scripted route. Mobs attacking you are not his concern. Mobs you aggro yourself will be ignored as well. If you let him lead, he will draw the initial aggro and stop. This can be useful if you need a few seconds to catch your breath, but don't leave him alone too long -- he can't solo these mobs and he can't withstand too much punishment from them. If more than one mob is on him, you need to intervene quickly. AoE attacks are useful here, as he rarely accumulates much threat and any decent damage will get the mobs onto you instead.

Second, avoid the use of snares (Frost Nova, Entangling Roots, etc). If you snare and attempt to pull back for a more opportune attack, the mobs will drop threat on you and switch to something else in melee range -- Remtravel.

Now to tell you what to expect, besides the golems infesting the whole place.

When you begin the escort, there are a couple tents straight ahead and a ramp and scaffold along the right side. Remtravel will eventually walk up that ramp. This cues a single trogg to spawn. This trogg always seems to ignore Remtravel and go for you, so be prepared to dispatch it quickly so Remtravel doesn't get too far ahead of you.

Shortly after this, he will investigate Hollee's tent (he will comment "Oh, that's Hollee's tent, and it's empty") Two troggs will spawn from the back right corner of the camp and go for Remtravel.

Now he will start walking down into the more open area of the dig site. At the far end, straight ahead, is another ramp and scaffold, with a small hill to the left. Remember this spot.

His path will take him down into the dig site, to the left and back around the other side of the wall to the dead end, then turn around and start heading back out to the start point. On his way out, he will investigate that ramp and scaffold I mentioned earlier. When he does, this will trigger two troggs to spawn on the hill to the left, one of them being a caster that likes Fireball. The caster will drop Remtravel in two shots, so you need to draw its aggro immediately. Personally I stood on the hill and cast Fire Blast on it while it was spawning. Even so, it will get one Fireball off on Remtravel before switching to you (both troggs aggro Remtravel immediately upon spawning), so you also need to get the melee trogg off of him and then take them both down before they manage to kill you instead.

If you get past this, you're pretty much clear, you just have to get him back to the front, past the few golems that have respawned, but those should be easy compared to what you just did.

I believe it's this way for almost all of the escort quests, but let them lead the way and get attacked.&nbsp This way they'll participate in the fight.&nbsp Otherwise, you'll notice, that if you start clearing ahead of him, he'll go on his merry way, and while you're fighting, he'll happily walk past you.&nbsp He'll probably even aggro other things, adding to your troubles.&nbsp So let him go first, and let him get attacked and make sure he's fighting before you join in.&nbsp )&nbsp Make him work!&nbsp Damn guy is absent minded anyway.&nbsp All this damn work just to find out he left his fossil with the other chick.&nbsp *mutters*&nbsp =)

Unfortunately, this quest is a bit buggy.&nbsp I decided to run through this quest 2 times with my level 50 main druid, before trying it with my alt.&nbsp

The first time I cleared everything in the immediate area, down the stairs and the first level of golems I thought would try to attack him. I then initiated the escort and went into stealthed feral form.&nbsp I only went as far as him wandering around the encampment.&nbsp He wanders around, goes up the board ramp & a scout comes out of the bottom and attacks you (even though I tried to stay out of range).

Then he looks in the tent.&nbsp At that time, another scout comes out...the first time it followed him, but never attacked him.&nbsp The second time, two scouts came out and attacked him as he was making his way down the stairs, upon which a stone golem jumped into the fray, making three and he was dead before I could get out feral form.&nbsp When I'd cleared the camp the first time, the golems that were in the back area, which I considered out of aggro range, well they weren't and they also killed him...he drops fast.

My conclusion is that at least in the encampment, he is going to aggro every golem in there.&nbsp Once outside, if he's like other escort quests, you're probably safe to follow him and not take any extras on.&nbsp Usually when the escortee says something, that's your cue that the boogeymen are going to come running up shortly.

If you come to the area and can't find him, it means that someone is either doing the escort, or that they failed.&nbsp He will usually respawn within about 5 mins or so.&nbsp Also the golems have a varied spawn time, making it difficult for a higher level to clear the camp (ahem) and let him walk free (he's a pokey devil).&nbsp By my estimations, some of them are on 4 minutes and the others between 7 and 10.&nbsp

I also noticed on the 2nd failure that the two scouts remained activated.&nbsp They were at the far end straight ahead from where you first start the escort, so that would be a clue if you can't find Remtravel up, that someone else has failed and he'll be along shortly.
Good luck!
