Make sure you retain the Eyes of the Eagle buff otherwise you won't be able to see Garwal if this happens.

Stay in the area around 26, 15. You can view Garwal's pat area here. He took roughly 4-5minutes to respawn after being killed.

For those wanting to keep the Wolf Disguise, you can do so by not turning in the quest. However, it can only be used in Howling Fjord and you are only friendly towards other Worgs in that area.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes of the EagleHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Garwal hides himself behind an unnatural magic. None can see him unless he wants you to. There may be one chance we can take, though. My enemy, the great eagle, Talonshrike, is said to have eyes that can see anything. If you were to take her eyes, then you would surely be able to see Garwal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Worg's ClothingHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    From my dreams, I know that Ulfang is in a cave on the snowy northwestern edge of the Rivenwood. He is in great danger. I have devised a magical disguise that will make you appear as a worg while you are within the Rivenwood.
