Description

This place is Helheim, the realm of the unworthy dead. Here, the spirits of the dishonorable spend eternity in an endless futile battle, always seeking glory but never able to attain it.

We should not be here.

We must find a way out. I will scout ahead - you should try and release some of these captive spirits here. Perhaps one may have some answers for us.

Playthroughs? Really?

Quest is in Stormheim Haustvald in an instance-like area called Helheim.

1. Okay I left the quest zone. So let's get back to it. Let's start at the flightpoint Stormheim Valdisdall, which is close to our questarea. The flightpoint is on the rightmost island (well looks like a island on map) of Stormheim coords 60.7 50.9.
2. Head northeast to Haustvald by taking road east and stay on roads taking you northeast.eventually you should get to the entrance of Helheim. at coords 73.5 39.6. When you enter walkthrus will make more sense, but you just have to follow what the quest tells you as always.
3. If quest is hard to read, just free prisoners and talk to them until you find a cooperative one. Prisoner will run back to entrance where you can talk to that prisoner for next quest.
