Description

I've been studying this deactivated construct for days, <name>. I think I can create a reasonable facsimile of the golem that would have room inside to fit one passenger. The idea being that it would fool those iron dwarves and allow us to get inside Baelgun's.

Now I'm not gonna be able to make anything with a hammer and poker. I need my tools! Unfortunately I left those behind at Ivald's Ruin when the iron dwarves first attacked. Get me my tools!

Ivald's Ruin is located far to the northeast.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Let's Go Surfing NowHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Navigating the steep bluffs of Howling Fjord can be nerve-racking! I've come up with a solution to ease that burden by utilizing vrykul technology and dwarven ingenuity. With just a few adjustments and some fine tuning I've created Icehammer's harpoon controller!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Out of My Element?Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Keep it down, <race>. These iron dwarves are quick on the trigger. Now don't let the activities down in the dig fool you. Those steel-skinned abominations aren't digging anything up! No sir - on the contrary - they're burying the site!
