Description

I've overheard what you've had to say with Greatmother Ankha. With all due respect, she's not having you go far enough.

You must also deal with the vrykul that lie dormant in the Waking Halls beneath Gjalerbron!

I have no doubt that the rituals involved with awakening them are the key to their downfall. Most likely the necrolords have some device that you can use to bring the vrykul out of their dormant state prematurely.

Surely such a disruption will prove fatal to the vrykul.

The entrance is NOT at 35,12 - I dont know why people reported that. If you go to 35,12 you'll be in Gjalerbron. Dont go up any ramps. From the outside go to 34,13 - a small but important distinction. It's in between the two bottom ramps.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Walking DeadHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Your assistance to us has been tremendous, <name>, but there is something that is troubling me: these so-called Scourge. The spirits of the land and air, the waters and the fire below the world, would not abide their presence, but seem to do nothing about them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Slumbering KingHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    A sheaf of parchment drops from the still hand of the overlord. Upon it you can discern the outline of the rituals that are taking place in the catacombs below. However, it appears that the queen of the vrykul, Angerboda, is having difficulty awakening King Ymiron.
