Blow the horn and challenge Gruznak the Impatient
Svanhildr wants to break the Oathbound offensive once and for all.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Burn the Covenant banners.
  2. Blow the warhorn and kill Gruznak the Impatient.
  3. Return to Svanhildr.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

With the storage huts ablaze, Svanhildr requests one last thing from you. You must burn the Covenant banners to demoralize the Oathbound, then kill their leader, Gruznak the Impatient.

Burning the banners is a simple enough task. Climb the towers, kill the guard at the top of each tower, and burn the banner. After the banners are ruined, you need to find the war horn by the massive door and blow it to challenge and slay Gruznak. Gruznak is unhappy that you've come to challenge him. He jumps down from his position and engages you in combat. Once he's dead, escape the stronghold and find Svanhildr in the path to the north to receive your reward.

Bugs[edit]

  • It was possible to summon Gruznak multiple times during Challenge the Tide
  • Sometimes, the flags will not register as having been set alight. (North Banner)
    • This can be fixed with "/reloadui"

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
