Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

Well? I'm ready for you to show off your combat skills.. and if you impress me, I'll give up this Uruk sword. it had better be a good demonstration, or the bargain is done!

You explain that Guardians can always rely on basic attacks such as Sting.

Tegwyn nods.

Interesting. Well, let's see it! That's what this training dummy is for, after all!

Background

Tegwyn agreed to relinquish the Uruk sword if you are able to impress him with a demonstration of your combat ability.

Objective 1

Tegwyn is waiting for you to demonstrate your combat ability by using Sting on the training dummy.

Used Sting while fighting the training dummy

Objective 2

Talk to Tegwyn by the training dummy

You have demonstrated the Guardian's mainstay skill, Sting to Tegwyn. Will Tegwyn relinquish the Uruk's blade to you, as he agreed?

Tegwyn: 'That was alright, I guess. But surely you have more powerful attacks at your disposal?

You explain that as a Guardian defensive skills such as Guardian's Ward are key to protecting yourself and your fellows.

'Wow I want to see that!'

Objective 3

Use Guardian's Ward on the training dummy

Tegwyn is waiting for you to demonstrate your combat ability by using Guardian's Ward on the training dummy.

Used Guardian's Ward on the training dummy

Objective 4

Talk to Tegwyn by the training dummy

You have demonstrated the core Guardian defensive skill, Guardian's Ward. Will Tegwyn relinquish the Uruk's blade to you, as he agreed?

Tegwyn: 'That was a decent show, I suppose.'

Tegwyn struggles to suppress any show of excitement.

'One more! Show me one more skill of yours, and make it incredible!'

You explain that Guardians can specialize the kinds of traits they take on, refining their skills into unique and powerful abilities.

Hint: Press the J key to open the traits panel. Choose a 'specialization' for your class to gain new skills and abilities. Don't worry, you can always change your mind later!

After you choose a specialization, use Force Opening or Litany of Defiance on the training dummy.

Objective 5

Demonstrated an impressive skill against the Training Dummy

Objective 6

Talk to Tegwyn by the training dummy

You have fulfilled your end of the bargain. Will Tegwyn relinquish the Uruk's blade to you, as he agreed?

Tegwyn: 'That was pretty good, I suppose.'

'Fine! You've upheld your side of our bargain, <name>, and I will do the same. Here's Madthrug's weapon, as I promised. You'll bring it back to that Ranger for me, I expect? Mother and father will be pleased, but I still say I could have handled such a weapon!

Tegwyn reluctantly hands you the Uruk's blade.

Objective 7

Bring the Uruk blade to Meneldir by the east gate of Mossward.

Meneldir is by the east gate of Mossward.

Now that you have recovered the Uruk blade you should bring it to Meneldir.

Meneldir: 'You recovered the Uruk blade from Tegwyn before he hurt himself with it?

'Very well done, <name>.'

Meneldir gets a faraway look in his eye, and gazes over the surrounding wall of Mossward.

'I remember being that age, and dreaming only of adventure, of excitement. I was not so very different from young Tegwyn when I was a boy growing up in the Angle of Mitheithel, where my people dwell. I do not judge him harshly for taking the sword, and I hope you will not either. His parents busy themselves with the work of fortifying Mossward's defences, and I daresay they remain unaware of the boy's mischief. I will not tell them if you do not, <name>.'
