  • LOCATION: Forgotten Caverns – Midgard
  • GUIDE:
  • In order to start this particular side quest you will need to head to the Forgotten Caverns, which is to the North.
  • Here speak to the Lake Spirit to learn about Hel-Walkers
  • After speaking with the Lake Spirit continue past him and into the small cave.
  • Here you can find a chest containing 1332 Hacksilver next to a Mystic Gateway
  • Defeat the wolves and turn left to find another chest, this time with 1495 Hacksilver
  • Climb the wall and then jump the gap
  • Climb yet another wall and then use the chain to lower yourself down to the lower ground
  • Okay after that short detour of treasure farming, we can now begin searching for the Hel-Walkers
  • We can start our search by heading to Nilfheim Tower
  • Here ride the lift up and defeat the Hel-Walkers
  • Whilst you are still here you can also find a Mystic Gateway and get the chance to read some runes on Tyr’s Braziers
  • Our next destination for these Hel-Walkers is at the Isle of Death
  • After defeating the Hel-Walkers you can find a chest located right, amongst a poison cloud
  • If you look up you should be able to spot a fire lantern, use your Axe to drop it onto the chest and remove the poison
  • Inside the chest is x1 Solid Svartalfheim Steel, x3 World Serpent Scale and x1 Etched Crest of Defiance
  • Our final destination for the Hel-Walkers is at the Iron Cove, which is just South of the Isle of Death
  • After dealing with the final wave of Hel-Walkers you should easily be able to spot a chest to the left, be careful though as an optional boss may spawn here
  • If you defeat this optional boss then you will get the Fire Sigil of Focus (Rare Enchantment)
  • As for this treasure chest, inside you can find x1 Solid Svartalfheim Steel and x3 World Serpent Scale
  • After you are done exploring you can then return back to the Lake Spirit in order to complete the quest

DESCRIPTION:

The Tradesman Spirit told us there were three separate wrecks where his crew met their end. There was a sigil near the captain’s body, if we look for that symbol, we should be able to find his crew (who are now Hel-Walkers) and kill them… again

The spirit’s crew walks the earth no longer. We should go tell him they are now at rest… hopefully he can find some peace himself.

  • Kill the Hel-Walker Crew
  • Return to the Tradesman Spirit
