Walkthrough & Notes

Summon and defeat Bonefang. [21.8S, 67.0W] There will be a cave with a marked flat rock in front of it: Rock "A large flat rock. This seems like a good place to put the elk-meat." Activate the rock and Bonefang will appear. Be careful not to pull the 4 wolves stationed outside the cave - either clear them out beforehand or wait for Bonefang to reach the rock before engaging him. NOTE: Wolves are north of Oatbarton, NOT northeast.

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'This meat will do fine, now all we need is to set the trap! Like I was telling the folk in town, I saw the pack up away north-east of here. If you head there, you should catch sight of some of the younger wolves, and the big fellow won't be far away. 'The big wolf most likely will be hid up in a cave or hole near the pack...leastways that's always how all the good tales tell. You might try placing the meat outside of his cave to lure him out. 'You should try not to use all of the meat, though. I wouldn't mind a few strips of fried elk for lunch.' Background You have collected the bait Hal Gamgee suggested you use to draw out the wolf-leader. Objective 1 Slay Bonefang The wolf camp can be found north-east of Oatbarton. Now that you have brought him the elk-meat, Hal Gamgee suggests that it is time to lay the trap for the big wolf by placing the meat outside of the wolf's cave. Hal Gamgree: 'The wolves should be just north of Oatbarton in Stonecrop Tor. You should hurry and deal with the wolves before they start hunting here in town!' Defeated Bonefang Objective 2 Talk to Hal Gamgee Hal Gamgee is in Oatbarton centre. You should return to Hal Gamgee with news of your victory. Hal Gamgree: 'What a story this will make, what with wolves crossing the Brandywine and sturdy folk driving them off. I will have to get old Ronald in Dwaling to write me a letter to my cousin Sam to tell all about it!'
