Quest:Purging the Dead

Bestowal dialogue

'You've done good work dealing with those old wights, but I'll be honest with you, [your name]...I was hoping you wouldn't find anything but green mounds and cold stones out there. Now I'm more worried than ever!

'The Great Barrow has always been a place that few are brave enough to tread, but you seem stouter than Bree-folk. Perhaps you would go in there and keep the wights from even coming out? The Great Barrow is towards the southern end of the Downs.

'Stout or not, I'd not go it alone, if I were you. That Great Barrow is sure to be a bad place. Maybe you should take some friends?'

Background

There are many rumours that mysterious Black Riders ride the land, and behind them ancient evils are stirred. Chief Watcher Grimbriar is worried that tales of walking dead in the Barrow-downs will eventually mean doom for Bree.

Objective 1

The Barrow-downs lie to the west of Bree, south of the Great East Road. The Great Barrow is at the southern end of the Barrow-downs.

Chief Watcher Grimbriar, even more anxious upon learning that the wights are not an old wives' tale, has asked you to enter the Great Barrow and keep the wights from getting out. He recommended you take friends with you.

• Defeat wights in the Great Barrow (0/25)

Objective 2

Grimbriar is inside the Town Hall in Bree.

You should return to Chief Watcher Grimbriar and let him know that you have destroyed many wights within the Great Barrow.

• Talk to Chief Watcher Grimbriar

'You are a valiant [your race], my friend. You have succeeded where many of my constables have failed...well, truthfully, my constables would never dare.

'Thank you greatly for your help. I believe that Bree is safe now.'
