Walkthrough & Notes

After speaking with the Minlos Defender, head West towards Tumladen. [78.1S, 28.1W] Cúdor can be found on the South bridge. [76.8S, 30.1W] Exit Tumladen, follow the road to the west [79.5S, 30.8W], and head north towards the beacon Sirthanc. Keep heading north. [78.0S, 31.5W] Grafeleg can be found north of Tumladen, although not visible on the map of Upper Lebennin. [74.1S, 30.5W] The boss Zagrazg can be found at the end of the cave system. An alternative route from Tumladen to Grafeleg: Take the road to the east once you exit Tumladen, then leave the road at [78.0S, 28.3W] and hug the cliff face to your left then to the north, moving up towards then past Sadúkh's Camp [77.4S, 27.8W]. At [76.9S, 27.8W], turn east and take the passage through the rocks, then move along the city walls going east-north-east. When you reach the ravine around [75.5S, 29.4W], stop following the city walls and take the right side of the ravine until you reach the waterfall at [74.8S, 30.2W]. You should see the orc camps on the other side of the river. Cross the river there (be careful not to fall down the waterfall, you'd have to swim quite a distance away to be able to reach the shore) then head north to reach Grafeleg [74.1S, 30.5W].

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue '<name>, I have an additional request if you would be so kind.' 'While we've secured the road to Tumladen, I have also received word that trouble is afoot.' The defender looks westward. 'Please follow the road to the west to Tumladen and speak to Cúdor. He will surely fill you in on what is happening.' Background The defender at Minlos beacon tells you that trouble is brewing at Tumladen. Objective 1 Talk to Cúdor The defender at Minlos beacon has asked you to speak to Cúdor in Tumladen. Cúdor can be found at Tumladen to the west of Minlos beacon. Cúdor: 'Ah, so you must be <name>.' 'I was notified of your imminent arrival. I won't waste your time.' 'To the north of Tumladen, there is a cave known as Grafeleg. It is a well known bear den in these parts. Most of the townsfolk keep away from it.' 'Our scouts chased a party of Orcs to the cave giving us the most unexpected of outcomes: the Orcs have begun to use and corrupt the bears for their own nefarious purposes. We cannot allow this to continue in such close proximity to Tumladen. 'Go to Grafeleg, and defeat the Orc captain Zagrazg and the Grafeleg matrons. If this unlikely alliance is to grow, it will only mean the worst of trouble on our doorstep.' Objective 2 Defeat Grafeleg bears (0/8) Defeat Grafeleg fugitives (0/6) Defeat a Grafeleg matron Defeat Zagrazg Cúdor has informed you of an Orc party which has begun to corrupt the bears of Grafeleg. Grafeleg can be found north of Tumladen. Objective 3 Talk to Cúdor You should tell Cúdor that the threat in Grafeleg has been addressed. Cúdor can be found in Tumladen. Cúdor: 'A job well done, <name>.' 'With Zagrazg gone and the Grafeleg clear, the townsfolk can walk freely in peace.' 'Tumladen thanks you this day.'
