However, I believe the _location_ of the quest object may very well be
random, in which case we couldn't help you much.

FWIW, I don't ever take dungeon quests involving an object.  With a
creature quest, at least you can be guided by the sound it makes,
since, more often than not, it is the only creature of its type in the
dungeon.
