Spoilers ahead:
HOKAY, the skinny on Fibble 4:
Basically, the whole thing was 'working' from the beginning. The problem is that the instructions for the mission are so insufficient that the thing appears broken several times before it's done, including one major time right at the beginning. If any of this makes no sense to you, go do the mission.
Neran Sporestomp is in the unopenable cocoon in Wallwatcher's Citadel, right where we thought he must be. The way to let him out that no one could figure out until told by a dev is to clear not just all of his room, the room below, and the bridge, but also the two spiders across the bridge outside the center temple. Total of about a dozen static spawns, plus 2-3 roamers, and Neran will pop out of that cocoon like it was nothing.
He does his theatrical run for it, there's some shenanegans, and you're ready to start the meat of the mission, in the instanced zone called Temple of the Korlach, but using the instance entrance at the other end of Illsalin from the actual Temple. Head to the door right at Illsalin zone in to get started.
Once inside, you're on an hour timer, so no sitting around. The instructions say to "search for the Alchemist", or some such, but just like Neran, dude's nowhere to be found, and again no instructions. Turns out that this phase of Fibble 4 is like Vxed, where you have to kill an unspecified high number of mobs in order to spawn the guy you're looking for. When he finally does appear, it's at the very back of the watery caves in the middle of the Temple, in the room where the red-con Lab Guardian is.
Killing the Alchemist finishes the mission.
