Notes[]
Even if you kill the yao guai in the cave before this quest, they may respawn. If they did not, the only way to complete the quest is to plant the explosives.
You may need to look closely for the charge markers, as they blend in with the cave floor making them difficult to see in the dark.
If you plant the explosives in the cave without triggering them, and then kill the yao guai at Pine Creek, the quest will be completed and you will not be able to detonate the planted explosives.
Waking Cloud will comment that it is very dangerous to directly attack the yao guai at Pine Creek. You can reassure her, but she will be skeptical.
