Walkthrough
Warning: If Evennia is killed, your party will lose and be sent back to the Henge of Denravi.

Just go outside of the Henge of Denravi to meet Evennia. After a small skirmish with Titans you will see a herd of jungle creatures fleeing your way... Ignore them. Follow Evennia to a crossroads of three pathways. Titans will come from all 3 directions to attack. Mostly there will be Wind Born Titans, Earth Born Titans, and Water Born Titans, but sometimes more advanced Titans will appear. There will be several waves, the final wave will have a boss.

Defeating this quest relies on ignoring the Wild Growths. Kill the smaller Born Titans first, and if a huge Rotting Titan appears take it down too. But if a Growth appears or spawns from the Rotting Titan, just ignore it. When you are sure no more groups are coming, take out one Growth and then its spawns before taking out another one. Growths are poison rangers. Their damage and health degeneration can be countered easily by a pair of solid monks.

Tip: This quest, while similar to Defend North Kryta Province (see tips in that quest), is actually much easier because to win, you need only slay the boss that comes trailing at the end. When he shows, focus all your fire power on him and slay him. When that's done, you will get the task crossed out in your Quest Log (even if dozens of Titans remain) and you can simply leave.

Note: It is possible, to finish this quest by ignoring Evennia and simply proceeding with the quest as normal, the battles won't be any easier (and Evennia is a healer) but you won't have to worry about keeping Evennia alive therefore it might be easier.

Alternative Approach: Ignore Evennia as mentioned above and head for the point where you are to make your stand but stop short of that. As you approach that point where the Shining Blade guards are, the road will slope down as it turns left. Stay atop that hill and just have one party member go down only as much as needed to trigger the conversation between the guards. This allows you to avoid being swarmed from three sides by Titans and instead have them all come up the hill to your party.
