Keenclaw tends to go into anti-exploit mode if attacked from range, which makes it hard to defeat if you're below quest level. Bounty target: Keenclaw - Lvl 118 Signature: 217,800 X 38,720.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue The Bounty notice is written in a shaky hand, as if the author feared he might be interrupted. It reads: 'The air is thin up here; they all said it. You might be able to see further than in the low-lands, but the thin air makes it harder to hear sounds from far away, especially with the wind whistling among the rocks the way it does. I didn't hear the hawks until it was nearly too late. They flew down from the heights, clawing and scratching, trying to get at my eyes. My hands are covered in scratches, but at least I kept my eyes! For now, anyway, for now! Cursed birds! 'I will give a reward to any who slay the grey hawks of the Ered Mithrin, especially the largest and foulest of them. Keenclaw I have named him. He will never have my eyes, no matter how much he desires to dine upon them.' Background A bounty notice asks you to seek out Keenclaw, a ravenous wild beast in Ered Mithrin. Objective 1 Defeat Keenclaw Defeat grey hawks (0/10) Keenclaw and grey hawks can be found in Ered Mithrin. You should defeat hawks. Objective 2 Completed Completed You have defeated Keenclaw and assisted the Expedition.
