Tips and Misc
You enter the quest on the road by the northeast shrine.
- A successful Concentration roll lets you talk with the giants; an unsuccessful one starts a fight. The first may give you a hint where Brawnpits can be found. When talking to the giants, select the "I'm looking for Brawnpits" option.
- If the Hill Giant says "try looking by the river", he's to the west (see map).
- If the sleeping Hill Giant Shaman says "probably picking flowers by the aqueduct again", he's to the east under the aqueduct (see map).
- If the other Hill Giant Shaman says "probably gone for the hills again", he's to the south near Rowa's altar (see map).
- Once you've spoken with Brawnpits, wait for him near the cauldron in the center of the map.
- Brawnpits locations1
- Down by the river just under the altar where the water elementals are located
- Underneath the Aqueduct
- In front of the altar by the wood spirits
- Ingredients locations
- Scorpion Stinger
- In the eastern part of the map (aqueduct area).
- Drops after defeating Mother Scorpion.
- Giant Skull Trophy
- In the western part of the map (west of road, south of the waterfall).
- Spawns Phaervrae Ichiom after picking up.
- Driftwood Log
- North of the waterfall, near the river (sometimes high over it, but on the edge of the cliff).
- Altars
- Air – Karrak the Final Guardian (by the frozen statue of the Stormreaver)
- Earth – Rowa of the Jungle Leaves (on top of the small hill)
- Fire – Ouralon Lawbringer (with the fire elementals)
- Water – Banor the Bloody Spear (over the river with the water elementals)
- Short version to copy into party chat: Air Karrak; Earth Rowa; Fire Ouralon; Water Banor
- You can make the end fight easier
- Activating the giant altars by praying to the right god (each altar can be used only once, so choosing wrong god will make this goal unreachable).
- The elementals will fight on your side in the end fight. This also makes water elementals near Banor's altar non-hostile (if not killed before activating the altar).
- Be careful not to select Step Away From the Altar or let the dialogue window time out. If you do, you won't be able to interact with that altar again, making the optional un-achievable.
- You can also side with Priestess Ionna against Belraen at the gateway.
- Belraen will not be present at the end fight. The packs of Vulkoor drow and scorpions on the main map will become non-hostile (the ones at Brawnpits' camp remain hostile – this is intended)
- There is no bonus for siding with Belraen or mediating. He will show up in the end fight in either of these cases.
- Brawnpits' return is timed/scripted. If the end fight is still ongoing he will assist you in the fight.
Bonus XP
- Aggression bonus: 131 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣-0 ♦355 ♥370 ♠385 )
