I hope I'm in the right place to report or mention this:

I have tried 5 times now to do the quest
"save our scurvy dogs - temple of Toloc"
in the Tradewinds skyway, and have not succeeded.
I just cannot find the dogs - just the idol over and over again.
What am I doing wrong???
Friends have even tried to help me but it's always with the same results.

is there anyone who could check this out, if it needed checking out?

TYIA,
Sabrina

In the Temple of Toloc, you must defeat an Aztecosaur Mummy called Ek Beh -- not the one in the Mysterious Tunnels, a different version -- in order to gain access to the Dogs that require saving.

When you enter the Sigil for the Temple of Toloc, go to hall where it says Mysterious Tunnels Upper Level, and then go left at the T-intersection. Then take a right, and another right. You may have to fight some troggies along the way unless you time it correctly, but at the end of the hall, it will turn left to a dead-end. At the back of this dead-end area you will find the creature with the three Dogs behind him.

Good Luck!
