When you enter the building at the top of the hill, there will be an elevator directly to your left. Go down the elevator and you'll find Thane down there with his body guard. Take control of your golem and you'll have two spells on your UI. Target the body guard and cast the second spell to deactivate the shield around Thane. Use the first spell to kill Thane. The body guard only stays deactivated for a few seconds so be prepared to target him again and hit the second spell. Once Thane is dead you can run out. I stuck around to loot him but he only dropped some silver.

Don't leave golem suit while on the elevator platform. I dropped down to bottom of elevator shaft, (to a place that shouldn't even exist). First time i was on the platform.. Second time i was near it, and when exiting the suit, got tossed into the shaft.

BTW, the elevator seems to be a "safe" place. Mobs stopped attacking me while on it, and don't follow on to it.

While the quest line is awesome and all, I found the dishonorable ending to leave a sour taste in my mouth. We keep promising to let this poor dwarf go, and in the end decide to kill him as soon as he is no longer of use?

For shame. For shame.

RewardsGrounded Gloves, Crackpot Spaulders, Short-Circuiting Boots, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

Now that the golem is fully charged, it can be used against the leader at Dun Argol. When I observed Iron Thane Furyhammer, he was always guarded by a personal golem that shielded him from all harm. That construct, called The Anvil, can be disrupted, causing him to drop the shield. Use your golem's EMP ability to do just that. You'll be able to activate and take control of your golem inside Dun Argol. The thane is in the main plant at the top and supervises production from the bottom level.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ... Or Maybe We Don'tGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The golem's cells have just enough power to run it at the lowest levels, but it can't power any of its combat systems. The good news is that the perimeter of Dun Argol is patrolled by lightning sentries. We should be able to use their power to charge up the golem's weapon systems.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Damaged JournalGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    This battered, mud-stained journal has seen better days. Leafing through the pages, you discover dozens of notes, diagrams, and maps in the dwarven language. The only text you're able to decipher is the name of Brann Bronzebeard scrawled at the end of one of the entries.
