Walkthrough
Although the quest says to travel through the Salt Flats, starting from Destiny's Gorge or Elona Reach is quicker. Just avoid/fight the scattered groups of Sand Drakes until you reach marker on your map.

The Eater of Souls is a Jade Scarab boss that burrows underground when you come near. When you reach his location, four spawns of four Jade Scarabs will pop-up. It is best to pull the groups as they can overwhelm your group. If you're particularly unlucky, a Sand Wurm will also spawn in the area. When all the Jade Scarabs are dead, the Eater of Souls will reappear. Kill it to finish the quest.
