Walkthrough and Notes

This is the instance of the quest Tusks of the Boar This instance is not hard (until the final boss battle) but it can be confusing because it is heavily scripted. The main objective is to clear the instance of opponents and siege engines, in any order and any length of time — until the finale (see below). Start the instance by choosing any combination of 4 Boar Clan members, who are generic despite being uniquely named: Dunlending Archers (Brunach, Deinol, Gwennel, or Shon) providing  Protection of Strength Dunlending Herbalists (Hulwen, Lhion, Seren, or Usult) providing  Protection of Life Dunlending Warriors (Gludur, Iowan, Kenneric, or Merdhin) providing  Protection of Fortitude Move northward; Elder Déin will head off to the northeast. You will meet up again at the finale. Defeat any opponents you encounter. To destroy the various siege engines, ignite the kegs of black powder that are next to them. The final battle occurs where you can see Elder Déin in a courtyard. However, stay outside and take a moment to heal up and allow skills to renew because once you enter the courtyard, you begin the final boss battle. The finale's objectives are to keep Elder Déin alive, while defeating opponents, until you can escape the battle. When you enter the final area, you are on the clock. You must finish this fight before the Boar clan is defeated! Your goals are: Get the Siege Captain activated (you have to kill 2 or 3 waves of fighters, Urk-hai, and trolls first. Kill the Siege Captain Talk to the Brenin Get on the horse - leave the area as the Boar clan is killed or surrenders When you come in, head south west. Make sure your friends are with you. Note where the Siege Captain that is green is standing due west. Talk to the Brenin from the south. Concentrate on staying in the south or west as much as possible while wiping out his first few waves. As soon as he goes red, kill him as quickly as possible. The Siege Captain will go green at least once - hopefully your buddies will not wander off to the east where the rest of boar clan is when he goes green. Keep banging away on him. Keep an eye on the Brenin. Always makes sure you know where he is. Make sure you have located the horse. As soon the Boss goes down. Talk to the Brenin. Get to that horse. Elder Déin's "ring" frequently does not show in the Radar, he tends to wander east behind a wall of flame. You have about 10 seconds after the Siege Captain is defeated to talk to the Elder before EVERYBODY comes to beat upon you. Hunters cannot use Desperate Flight instead of the horse to leave. Doing so will not complete the quest. When you mount the Elder's horse you automatically ride out of the battle and the Instance ends. You are then transported to the Cliffs above Wulf's Cleft.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue Tusks of the Boar "While sailing up-river to deliver crucial information to others who might stand against Isengard, the Boar-clan comes across a great muster of Dunlendings. Rather than stand idly by, they attempt to hinder the army in Wulf's Cleft by destroying their siege-engines." Background The Boar-clan is assaulting Wulf's Cleft in an effort to hinder the army there. Objective 1 Talk to Tecwin Tecwin kneels before you. Speak with him to discuss his plans. Tecwin: 'This horde is greater than we could have possibly imagined. We have defeated the forces holding the beach, but more will arrive soon. 'We are too small a force to do much against such a massive army. Let us talk to the Elder.' Tecwin says, "What are we to do, Elder? The force here is much larger than we had anticipated. Should we not just leave?" Elder Déin says, "We are too few, and they are too many. Our only hope is to strike a blow so that they can not stand with Isengard." Elder Déin says, "But we are Boar-clan. There is no retreat. We must do what we can!" Elder Déin says, "<name>, pick my best four warriors here. The rest of us will create a diversion like no other." Objective 2 Talk to Elder Déin Speak with Elder Déin as he addresses the warriors. Elder Déin: 'We will take the main force up the riverbank and attack the gates. You must fight through the chaos and destroy as much as you can. 'We are few against an entire army, but we must do all we can. Probably most of us will not survive. Do your part for the good of Dunland. 'Take four of my best warriors to help you. Some of them will help in healing, some will help protect you, and some will attack from a distance. Go now!' Objective 3 Choose four soldiers to assist you Elder Déin has asked you to choose four of his finest soldiers to join you in your attempt to destroy the siege engines of the Dunlending army. Objective 4 Talk to Gwin Speak with Gwin at the front lines. The Boar-clan will move out and attack the main camp, while you destroy as much of the camp as possible. Gwin: 'We have been holding the line for as long as we can. If he Elders want us to attack, then we will!' We will head to the right... you must go straight ahead and destroy those siege-engines. 'Wait for our assault; otherwise, there will be too many guards for you to handle.' Gwin says, "Wait for our forces to move!" Wait for the Dunlendings to move out Elder Dein says, "Men and women, we march now!" Elder Dein says, "Fight for the Boar-clan, fight for the Avanc-lûth... fight for Dunland!" Objective 5 Destroy the first siege-engine Destroy any siege-engines that you come across in the camp. Dunlending Berserker says, "We must warn the others! Attackers on the beach!" Destroying the siege-engine has caused the camp to catch fire Objective 6 Destroy the second siege-engine Destroy any siege-engines that you come across in the camp. The fire in the camp is spreading all around you Objective 7 Destroy the third siege-engine Destroy any siege-engines that you come across in the camp. The fire is raging everywhere now Objective 8 Destroy the final siege-engine Destroy any siege-engines that you come across in the camp. Sounds of a massive battle reach your ears Objective 9 Speak with Elder Déin in the centre of the conflagration. Speak with Elder Déin in the centre of the large war-camp at Wulf's Cleft. Elder Déin: 'We have little time. The enemy is too great. We broke into this courtyard, but I fear the nest is truly stirred now. 'We must hold out as long as we can. It has been an honour knowing you, <name>. May your name be heard in the songs of legends. 'Brace yourselves for the final attack.' Objective 10 Defeat Dunlending siege-captain quickly! The Dunlending siege-captain must be defeated! Siege Captain shouts, "Your pitiful forces are no match for the full might of Dunland!" Siege Captain shouts, "You think your rabble can come in here and defeat us?" Objective 11 Speak with Elder Déin again. Speak with Elder Déin in the centre of the large war-camp at Wulf's Cleft. Elder Déin: 'You fought with honour. I do not have much time left. Take my horse and ride away. Tell any who will listen of Saruman's treachery. 'Do not let the end of the Avanc-lûth be for naught. Be well....' 'I... hope.. .we have done enough. Flee quickly! Someone must survive.' Objective 12 Flee upon Elder Déin's horse before the chance to survive is no more! Elder Déin has commanded you to escape on his horse. Hurry before the chance to survive is no more! Dunlending Sniper says, "Don't let anyone get away!" Dunlending Sniper says, "Oh no!" Dunlending Sniper says, "Look out!" You have made it out of Wulf's Cleft alive
