Walkthrough[]

Upon completing Strange Allies, Aspera Giant-Friend will discuss strategy for how to take Cradlecrush. There are two main weaknesses: the gates and the captive mammoths. She will task the Vestige with opening the gates, freeing the mammoths and then using the horn to call the giants and strike fear into the enemies' hearts. She then directs you to find her giant friend to help you.

The giant will be at the other side of the campfire. Poke him gently and he will kick you and send you flying to a place from where you can invade the fort. From here, head south and you should find yourself in the fort. Now, you have multiple objectives you can do in any order. To your south will be the south gate, which you must open using the levers in the towers on both sides of it. In the north, there is the north gate, where you must follow the same procedure. The mammoths you must free will be strewn about the fort, with the first one right ahead from where you entered. The second, third and fourth mammoth can be found along the south wall. Make sure to pick up the copy of The Order of the Ancestor Moth, by a rock just south of the north gate.

Once you have opened the gates and freed the mammoths, head to the Cradlecrush Arena. Upon reaching the arena, Aspera Giant-Friend will appear in front of you. Speak with her, and she will tell you that the leader of the Orcs, Lob the Cleaver, is in there, and that sounding the horn will be both an invitation to the giants and a threat to the Orcs.

Head into the arena and sound the horn. The Orcs will come at you in waves. First you will have to fight two Orcish warriors, then three, and then Lob himself. Once he is defeated, head outside and speak with Aspera. She will thank you for defeating the orcs, give you your reward and then disappear into thin air.
