Detailed WalkthroughEdit

 
Deal with the bullying werewolves

Hidaver will tell you of a goatherd whose goats having being preyed on for weeks. When she sent a soldier to help, they returned heavily wounded— the goats' predators were no mundane wolves. Now you must go and slay this pack of werewolves, and help return whatever goats were left alive to snack on later. You have the option speaking with the goatherd Gerval for information on the werewolves and his goats.

Head to the pack's hunting grounds to find them threatening a group of Nords in their camp. They are fearsome warriors who will transform mid-battle once they have hit 50% health. Once dealt with, find the goats that are scattered nearby and feed them the goatherd's berries, which will compel them to go back home. They are located north, west and south of the boss. Once all is done, return to Hidaver for your reward.

NotesEdit

  • Multiple players can send the same goat home, including group members. If two or more group members activate the same goat simultaneously, both actions will count towards all nearby group member's totals.

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.
