Objectives[]
- Speak to Tharsten Heart-Fang in The Greathall
- Help the Skaal Honor Guards kill the werewolves in the town square
- Return inside the Greathall and kill the werewolves
- Speak to Korst Wind-Eye
Walkthrough[]
After completing the test of strength the Nerevarine returns to Tharsten Heart-Fang in the Skaal village's greathall. As the hero approaches Tharsten, he will initiate a dialogue as strange sounds of growlings and disturbances are heard, he explains that the village is under attack by creatures and then sends the Hero to help the guards.
Werewolf attack[]
- Note: Hitting inadvertently a guard will turn everyone hostile towards the Hero.
Outside seven werewolves and the guards are battling, the Nerevarine may join them. Once they have been defeated, anyone spoken to will indicate that more werewolves entered the Greathall, and asks the Hero to go help inside.
Tharsten disappearance[]
Once the two remaining werewolves have been defeated inside the Greathall, the Nerevarine will find that the guard is dead and Tharsten is nowhere to be found. Returning outside, the Hero finds Korst Wind-Eye, who is back, Korst will inform that, during the battle, the Nerevarine has been infected with lycantropy, and can no longer stay in the Skaal village by fear of infecting others. He further informs the Hero that they must cure themselves within the next three days or they will, in turn, become a werewolf too. He suggests using a Cure Common Disease spell or potion. Activating a shrine or a Healing Altar will also cure the Hero. Until then Korst can no longer allow the Nerevarine to stay.
The choice of the werewolf[]
- Note: Three options are available to complete the quest.
Now the Nerevarine may:
- Cure themselves immediately. And return to Korst, the latter will reward the Hero with the title Bloodskaal and offer Rigmor Halfhand's former house, that has now become The Bloodskaal's House.
- Become a werewolf and then find a cure, by completing the quest "Rite of the Wolf Giver," this can only be done before sleeping or resting since being infected.
- Become a werewolf and sleep or rest, this will activate the quest "Dream of Hircine."
