The one thing I don't see is the approx level of the bear?
If a strong group of mid- to high- 30's could protect him after a sow'd monk had cleared the giant fort (I don't think to zone and fd'ing is the best idea. I'd like to not bring the hatred of the entire zone onto us. But to the coldain dwarves should work if noone is camping the giants) and take on the bear then we would give this a go (the group can take single giants blue to a 51, as a point of reference).
Coldain Ring #2: Silver Coldain Insignia Ring
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned his nephew.
You say, 'What nephew?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'My nephew, Boridain, keeps running away from home to kill a bothersome [beast], thinking this will prove to all of Thurgadin that he is a great hunter. Every time he does this my sister gets hysterical and I am sent out to find him.' You say, 'What beast?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'A rabid tundra kodiak has been feeding on our people for weeks now. If Boridain ever stumbled across the critter I doubt he'd stand a chance. I have a solution, but it would require the [assistance] of an outsider.' You say, 'I will give assistance.' Garadain Glacierbane says 'I'm taking a liking to you stranger. Your eagerness to help us will not go unnoticed. Find my nephew and give him this axe. It should keep him from hurting himself. Return to me with the ring and proof that he is safe.' You receive a Dull Bladed Axe. Take it to his nephew, Boridain Glacierbane, who spawns at -2450, +1550. You say, 'Hail, Boridain Glacierbane' Boridain Glacierbane says 'Hello stranger, I am Boridain, master hunter of the Coldain. Glad to meet you.' Give him the axe. Boridain Glacierbane says 'Say! This looks just like the axe my uncle uses. With this I can kill the beast for sure! Now please, be very quiet, I must track my prey. I won't return to Thurgadin without the hide of the rabid tundra kodiak!' You must now follow him around and keep him alive while he hunts for the rabid tundra kodiak. He will go to certain dangerous locations such as the giant fort, the prison camp, and the Ry'gorr fort, before finally encountering the rabid kodiak. You must protect him from any aggressive monsters en route, as well as from any static spawns he finds in these locations. It's useful to duo with someone so one can fight the monsters ahead and one can protect Boridain. Make sure you are the one to kill the kodiak and not Boridain, or the corpse will disappear. Once you have killed it, loot the Rabid Kodiak Skin and quickly give it to Boridain (he despawns within a minute or so). He will give you a Broken Axe, which you then turn in to Garadain along with your Copper Coldain Insignia Ring ring as proof of having aided his nephew. Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, ______, aren't you forgetting something?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'Well done friend! My nephew is safe at home and his thirst for adventure is quenched for now. The beast will claim no more of our people. I couldn't have handled it better myself. Now I can get back to the business of [hunting].' Your faction standing with Coldain could not possibly get any better. Your faction standing with Dain Frostreaver IV got better. Your faction standing with Kromzek got worse. Your faction standing with Kromrif could not possibly get any worse. You gain experience!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Didn't see a faction hit listed for this one, does one exist?

Possible to charm this guy and run him where you want? Kill the bear, loot the pet, then release and mem blur the dwarf to turn it in? I've seen a couple quests that are protective in nature like this, so it would be good to know.

No.. because he has certain points that he walks to in sequence. If you drag him then memory blur him near the last point in his route, he will turn around and walk back to the first stop.
Boradain is a complete fool, and the axe that you give him is like dmg 3 dly 50 or something silly like that. He heads straight for the giants and dies in a few hits, so I've tried to train the giants away to the coldain camps so they would kill them. Works OK, but every time I've cleared them, someone has come along and killed Boridain or triggered the quest before I could get the field cleared. I would like to try this with a monk that (SoW'd) could run the giants to the other side of the zone and FD, or for that matter someone could train them to a zone entrance while our silly dwarf friend roams around getting himself into trouble.

try this.. root the giants so they hit you and not boridain and then fight them with him, i was able to do this solo at level 59 as a paladin.. i just took on the mobs he agro'ed and made sure to root them and stand close to the mob so they would hit me and not him. he has very low hp btw hehe.
one other way you could try it is to charm him and buff em up then releas him hehe with memblur but dunno if that would work :P
otherwise just get some friends and rape the giants then do the quest hehe.

hey,
i've still not successfully completed the quest, and given that i'm only a 45th lvl shaman I doubt I can withount a fair bit of help.
the dwarf will attack anything it is nearby, especially orcs and giants, which is sad really since i could neither heal, nor buff him. and he makes a bee-line for the giant fort's entrance, so unless you have cleared those giants beforehand, he will get munched really quick.
also, he has a 1hr 30min respawn time, so any fatalities hurt hard.
however, if you are in an uber guild, you should have no problem with this quest, since a well-balanced party of 50+ will have nothing to fear from these mobs, and it should be a cakewalk.

Posted: Dec 14 2000 at 2:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) There is also another quest where you get a Copper Coldain Insignia Ring. The stats blow for the lvl you have to be to get them, so most likely they are for another quest. I wouldn't be suprised if there is a Plat and gold Insignia rings.

There is a ghost of a dorf in EW that spawns in the camp with Icefang. He asks you for proof that you are a friend of coldain, before he can tell you more. Im just wondering if this Insignia ring isn't the proof he is looking for.
