Detailed Walkthrough

Begin the quest by speaking to Hrogar, inside of his hold, or Uggonn, just north of Hrogar's Hold Wayshrine. If you get the quest from Uggonn, you will still need to find Hrogar and speak to him.

"These once fertile lands have been reduced to ash and dust.

My fair Edwina must be ashamed of me. I am a poor protector."

How can I help?

"The goblins have slaughtered many of my men. Even my eldest son has been fed to the funeral pyre. Now my youngest son, Bjorick, has gone missing.

Troll's blood! These vermin seem unstoppable."

What do you need me to do?

"My middle son, Gar, is leading the search for Bjorick west of the hall.

Go speak to him. Help him find his missing brother and end this nightmare."

I'll speak to your son.

Head outside. You'll find Gar not too far from the hall, standing by Fafnyr. Speak to Gar:

"These goblins are merciless, stranger. They don't feel pity or remorse or fear, and they won't stop until they're killed."

Your father sent me to help you find Bjorick.

"You want to help? Get out there and kill some of those stinking Gobs.

Bjorick is nearby. I heard him call my name. If you can distract the Gobs, I think I can get to him. Meet me here when you're done."

You'll need to kill eight goblins and spiders, in any combination. Once that's done, return to where you found Gar and talk to Fafnyr:

"Your attack on those vermin was heroic.

You made them regret the day they left their stinking dens."

Yes. Was Gar able to find Bjorick?

"We're in trouble. Your diversion worked, and Gar went looking for his younger brother. That's the good news.

The bad news is the Goblins are gathering for a final attack on the hold. Quickly, get to Hrogar and warn him."

Head back into the hall and speak to Hrogar:

"What news of my sons? Has Bjorick returned?"

The goblins are gathering for another attack.

"Warriors! To me!

Protect the hall and safeguard the innocents. Defend the hold!"

I've got your back.

Head downstairs and into the trapdoor leading to the Hold Cellar. Then, head through the doorway and into the large, open room. You'll hear Hrogar call out, "Defend the hall! Slay the Goblins!" At this point, goblins will begin to tunnel up from the floor. After you strike down a couple waves of them, Hrogar will call out, "Their leader comes! Take him down." You will then be attacked by a Warchief Shadowsilk and a Warchief's Spider, along with several supporting enemies. When you kill them all, Hrogar will breathe a sigh of relief: "By Ysgramor, we've won the day."

Head back upstairs, and then outside, and talk to Fafnyr to finish the quest and start Kinsman's Revenge:

"Shor's bones, you have to help!

Aggh. Miserable Gobs."

What happened? Where are Gar and Bjorick?

"They're missing! We found Bjorick. We were escorting him home when we were ambushed.

The Goblins must have taken them both!"

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.
