Background

"The orcs of Largashbur are beseiged by giants, and have been forbidden to leave their stronghold. Atub, the wise woman of the tribe, has asked me to find her Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart so that she may contact Malacath for guidance."

Walkthrough

Largashbur is an Orcish stronghold found near the Jerall Mountains in the south of Rift. As you approach the stronghold, the tribe of orcs will be engaged in battle with a giant. Ugor, one of the orcs fighting the giant cannot die. She is essential for the plot line to continue for both entering the stronghold and starting the quest. If she is already dead, reload and when approaching the city again, race in to help finish off the giant.

NOTE: If it is not possible to save Ugor, the stronghold may still be accessed by climbing the mountainside bordering the far left side of the entrance. Upon talking to Atub, the gate will unlock.

The orcs will initially be mistrustful of you. The one exception is Atub; speak with her to find out that her tribe has fallen on hard times. Chief Yamarz, the tribe's Chief, has become weak and cursed. The giants have taken advantage of this, assailing the stronghold regularly. Atub asks you to bring her Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart as an offering to Malacath, the patron Daedra of the Orsimer, in hopes that he might respond to the wise woman's prayers and guide the tribe in their time of need.

Retrieving the Ingredients

You can find Troll Fat on slain Trolls. Although if that is too difficult you can find both the Troll Fat, and the Daedra Heart in the Companion's hall, Jorrvaskr, in Whiterun. The Troll Fat is located on the bookshelf directly opposite the door, upon entering Kodlak Whitemane's chamber. The Daedra Heart can be found directly to the left of the bookshelf, on the desk.

There is also an easily acquirable Troll Fat found in the College of Winterhold, on the shelf near the alchemical lab within the Hall of Countenance.

The easiest way to obtain Troll Fat is the small orcish hut directly next to Malacath's Shrine.

Many alchemists will also sell Troll Fat.

The Ritual

Once you have given Atub the ingredients, she will insist that you observe the ritual of contacting Malacath. She will speak to Yamarz, who begrudgingly allows the ritual to occur.

Malacath is displeased with Yamarz, who has allowed giants to overrun the Daedric Prince's shrine. The god

FallowstoneCaveMap

demands that Yamarz bring him the giant leader's club as an offering; only then will he consider lifting the curse.

Upon speaking with Yamarz, he will blame you for bringing this task upon him and tell you to join him at Fallowstone Cave, the entrance toward Malacath's shrine.

Fallowstone Cave

Meet up with Yamarz at Fallowstone Cave, located northeast of Riften. Be prepared to fight several giants, and possibly cave bears and trolls as well. You must protect Chief Yamarz as you travel through the cave until you reach the Giant's Grove on the other side. He is well equipped with full Orcish Armor and an Orcish weapon, and can handle himself well in battle. Still, he will find himself outmatched fighting giants by himself. Yamarz prefers melee attacks, so it may be best to hang back and pelt your gigantic enemies with arrows or magic while Yamarz fights up close. Be careful not to attack the orc Chief; it is easy to accidentally hit Yamarz as the two of you take on the giants.

Giant's Grove

Once you have reached the Giant's Grove, Yamarz will ask you to retrieve the giant chieftain's hammer for him. He promises gold in return for your discretion; the tribe never has to know that their chief wasn't the one to return the giant's club (Shagrol's Hammer). However, upon defeating the giant, Chief Yamarz attacks you to ensure that you will not talk. Alternatively, the player can convince him to attack the giant himself. This ultimately gets him killed and it is up to the player to defeat the giant.

Malacath's Reward

Return to Largashbur after you have defeated Chief Yamarz. Atub asks for news of Yamarz, and Malacath will speak to the remaining tribesmen, telling them of Yamarz's treachery and weakness. Malacath gives the tribe a chance to prove themselves, appointing Gularzob the new Chief.

The god rewards you for your worthiness, instructing you to put Shagrol's Hammer on his shrine. The hammer is transformed into Volendrung, the Daedric Prince's legendary warhammer.

Possible bug: After putting Shagrol's Hammer on the shrine, it is not transformed into Volendrung, but simply dissapears.

(Confirmed on 360.)

(Confirmed PS3. Reload last save and it worked 2nd attempt though, Volendrung was on top of shrine. EDIT: Volendrug is supposed to appear on top of the shrine held in the horns of the deer skull)

Bug: Possible on 360 that people will respond as if you have already gone through the ritual when you reach the appropriate level for the quest. Even though his people act as if he is dead Yamarz is still alive. It is believed this happens if you enter the compound before the quest becomes available. If this happens the only fix is to load a save previous to entering the compound. If you do not load Volderung is unattainable. This bug if not the cause is confirmed.
