This script might be bugged now. With multiple toons of mine at various factions I have hailed Tain to get:

[Fri Mar 08 09:51:39 2019] You say, 'Hail, Tain Hammerfrost'
[Fri Mar 08 09:51:39 2019] Tain Hammerfrost says, 'The bloody Kromrif ambushed me! I escaped, but I am near death. They'll be tracking me down to finish me off at any moment. Without [help], I'm as good as dead.'
[Fri Mar 08 09:51:41 2019] You say, 'help'
[Fri Mar 08 09:51:41 2019] Tain Hammerfrost winces. 'If only there were some way I could trust you...'

I can not seem to figure out how to get him to trust me

Actually just found the latest update notes...

- - 4th ring quest - It's now necessary to have the Gold Coldain Insignia Ring to receive the Note to Tain from Garadain Glacierbane or to loot the Frozen Elixir. Tain Hammerfrost no longer drops the Note to Tain when killed. Handing the Note to Tain to Tain Hammerfrost now triggers the attack wave instead of one of his dialogues. The Note to Tain is now lore and no trade.

I just did the quest and unfortunatley I let Tain get killed. So thought ok come back in a few hours and do the turn in again. But I looked up when the giants despawned and Tain had respawned. So never looking a gift horse in the mouth, I handed Tain the vial but he didnt accept it, saying something along the lines I dont need this. Reading else where I tried using the trigger phrase "I will help" which causes him to start the encounter again. I handed the vial in, got the hammer and left him to his new friends charging over the hill.

Edit: I just looked back and he respawned again after the giants despawned? Go figure.

A fast hand in.

After the dialoge with him he stood up and I tried to hand him the elixer but he laid down before I could get it out of inventory. He only stood up for about 5 seconds. Then when I tried to hand it to him it would just drop to the ground. I picked it back up just as the giants jumped us and as my SOW fell. We both dropped dead! Back to recover corpse and wait. After about 1.5 hours he poped right in front of me. I went to take a pic of him as he seemed to be buffing himself(!?) and hit auto attack instead. One hit and he vanished, not dead just de-popped. Douh!! Damn big fingers! Ok thats enough for tonight. I will try again tommorow and have the elixer ready to hand in and run off before the giants get to me.

UPDATE:

After Tain de-popped I camped and logged back on this afternoon and he was back. Got ready and said I WILL HELP and he stood and laid right back down, much faster then the first time. Gave him the elixer, even after he had laid back down, and got the hammer. I must have had a targeting problem the first time when it dropped.

From what I read, his respawn is 30 mins.

Also, I have only seen 4 giants spawn. 3 + named, soloable with 54 Wiz.

It's not 30 minutes. It is at least 6 hours, but probably longer.
OMG WTF
