== Walkthrough ==
Defuse or detonate all 15 mines. (Note: you must successfully defuse at least 1 mine to win this assault.)
*You are set in a very large map and given a mine detector automatically at the start (you enter at H-9).
*Mines are invisible until you step on top of them.
*When you approach a mine it says "The mine detector signals there may be something nearby."
*Shortly thereafter you will get a message "A Qiqirn mine's time-based fuse seems to have been activated somewhere...". You then have approximately 30 seconds after this "activation" before the bomb explodes. 
*As you walk around, the detector tells you how close you are by "Kachink"s:
** Nearby: "Kachink......" 
** Close: "Kachink..." 
** Extremely Close: "Kachink!" 
*When you see the "Kachink!" message, stop moving, and then walk around just a step or 2 to get the bomb to pop. You will also hear a clicking sound which indicates you're in the right position.
*When you are in the right position, the bomb will appear.
*Touch the bomb before it explodes to defuse it. (Be quick - Remember it explodes only 30 seconds after it is first activated.)
*Qiqirn roam the area.
**They hit hard enough to be a threat to an unbuffed mage but have very low HP (about 1500 HP). Most melee could probably solo them easily.
**1 Asuran Fists or Thunder IV takes about 75% of a Qiqirn's health.
**The Qiqirn have extremely long but extremely narrow sight aggro. (You can easily invis yourself past them.)
*When all 15 bombs have been defused/detonated, the Rune of Release appears at (H-9).
**The more bombs you successfully defuse, the more Assault Points you get.
*The mission fails if all 15 bombs explode.
==Notes==
* Every member starts with a mine detector automatically, so it's possible to spread; there is no NPC or anything needed to trigger this.
* The Qiqirn are very easy to solo, do very low dmg, and die very fast.
* The mines themselves are not very dangerous. The damage can range anywhere from 1 damage to no more than 100 after several runthroughs.
* It is possible to come close enough to a mine to trigger it through the walls or from the bridge section above (G-9).
**Take care when sweeping a room if its walls come close to another room you have not yet checked.
**You can drop through a hole in the bridge to the area below if you accidentally trigger a mine on the west side.
* The Qiqirn track by scent. If you get aggro sleep the Qiqirn and deodorize yourself to lose aggro.
