Walkthrough & Notes

All of the combat with Núrzum is done by Thrymm Red-beard, Gárwig, and Cyneberg. However, it is still VERY easy to die from the Frost Grims -- watch your health! The frost grimms aggro on you constantly. NOTE ESPECIALLY: If you are defeated, you return to the circle in front of Forlaw. Simply return to the Lornsettle and speak with Thrymm again IMMEDIATELY (i.e. ASAP) and you will return to the instance where you left off! Note also: Frost Grims are stupid. They will agro on you as you approach the main combat area -- AND GET STUCK out there behind some ice shard. Look for the red dot on your Radar map and move in so that you can entice them out again. The AI is a bit flakey, so it might take a few moments for them to move. But until they do and move back into the main combat area, so you can kill them off, you cannot advance the quest.
