Love of a Nereid

Starting NPC:  Sollon (requires neutral/friendly Melos faction) in Meso at 36758 46663

Level Requirement:  40   - Kalhas

Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped:
You will want 2 people.  This quest is difficult for the soloer, as the last fight spawns 3 hidden blues in addition to the two yellows.   - Khairan

Steps:

Warning:  If you have started this quest and then attack a Melos (even if faction still is friendly) The quest will disappear from your journal and you cannot redo it. This happened to the person I was grouped with. We checked with CSR and it was confrimed.  Apr 10 2004

Speak to the Starting NPC, Sollon (requires neutral/friendly Melos faction).  Sollon can be found at 36758 46663 Meso.   He is under the rock, not on top of it.  Swim down the side of that big rock and look underneath. 
Sollon's later location, where he can be found between 11pm and 3am, is 15661 27312 Meso.

You have to kill two mobs to get body parts.  People are getting different versions of this quests, so you might be told to kill different things.  Make sure you kill the mobs in order (see Tips).

List of mobs, you'll have to kill two of these, not all of them.  Check your journal to see what version of the quest you got.
Hand Belen the two items.

Speak with Nadia after you kill her two blue con @ 50 guards, they can be found at 48511, 18976 Meso.

Tell Belen that you freed Nadia.

Go speak with Sollon, and then you are given about 10 seconds before the fight begins.  At level 40, Sollon and Nadia con red to you, and 3 oranges pop as well.

Return to Belen and speak with him.   Jan 12

Tips:

I fought Sollon as a lvl 40 blademaster, and had my lvl 50 druid bot with me.  I died.  I came back later with 2 more guildies, and thought I would swim up to Sollon again to initiate the fight.  I didn't realize that Sollon was agro to my bot and my guildies.  I kind of freaked out when he started fighting us, because I thought this wouldn't count as my step.  Well it did, we had to kill him because we couldn't run away from him, and I got credit for that step.   Feb 10

The quest entry in your journal tells you to kill a Sobekite Khu Kamu (which will drop an eye), and then a Sobekite Khu Komo (which will drop a heart). Both of the mobs can be found on the island in the south west corner of Meso, that extends slightly into Hesp.
However, I killed the Komo first. I received the heart drop directly into my bag. Checked the journal entry for it after that, ~and it was gone.~ Tried killing a few Kamu's (if you're level 45, bring a healer or shaman!), and did NOT receive the required drop for the quest after three kills. Very very annoying. Make sure you kill the mobs in order. Dec 6
