He was completely stuck in the wall behind the giant fort. What I did was /tar a_human to target him, hit him with a snare, then ran until he dropped off my target bar, then tracked my way back to him.

Posted:Apr 26 2010 at 12:34 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Loc -810, -900. On the south side of the outside wall of the giant fort.
I as well found this guy just next to the giant fort between the two pillars. Time was 9 AM when i saw him on track. Dont know how long he was standing there before i got there, ran straight for the fort when zoning in to FM and saw him on track when i was close enough.
Found this guy standing on the outside of giant fort south side between the middle 2 support pillars for the wall. I came in zone and he was not up for 3 game hours. He poped up on track when game time hit 6pm so i figure he is not up during daylight game hours.
was standing 3 feet from the skele on the outside of the South wall and hadnt seen the human skele on track the whole time while finding my way to the fort. so while looking directly at it, i hit my Track (currently at 167) and lo'nd behold it was on it. just a heads up (didnt see this posted here before). sorry i forgot to get the exact loc, but it is between the 2 outside supports/pillars/bulkheads of the wall.

Thank you, doing this for my druid, and someone came moments before me, and despaired it as I was running up, lol. Glad to hear it won't be days like vsr, lol
I just did the hand in to the "a human skeleton". I have a walk thru of this quest loaded into my storyline but occasionally it is wrong. In this case it said the skeleton roams the west and south parts of the zone "far away from the giant fort". After coming here to look for help when I couldnt locate him I went directly to the giant fort and he was static by the wall (not stuck or bugged in anyway). I was not in wolf form, handed in the painting and got the locket without event. Good luck to the rest of you on your quest.
I was doing this part of the epic, and was waiting around the SW part of the zone for him to pop because he was not on my track. So after bout 45mins i decide to just roam around the zone for a wee bit cause i heard he also moves throughout the zone. Sure enough, i found him on track, dark blue at lvl 51. So i track him, but there's one problem, he's stuck in the wall of the giant fortress. I can't target him to do turn in, so i was pissed. My SoW started to wear off, i cast Wolf form on my self, and all of a sudden he comes out and starts to attack me. One thing lead to another and since i didn't want to leave the zone for fear of the skele despanwing, i died. Zoned back to PoK. Asked around if someone knew why this happened. And sure enough, it was the wolf form that did it. I went back to FM my normal Half-Elvish self, did turn in with him glaring at me threatingly. First thing, he does not just hang around SW part of zone, So roam around. Second, if you're in wolf form he will agro on you untill you leave the zone. Now for the Jade Reaver :P.

I had the same problem and your post helped me out. He was stuck in the castle wall so I changed to wolf form and pulled him to the zone. Then I rooted him zoned out and zoned back in to do the hand in. I have the bowl and now have a glowing stone. Onward to spirit of venril sather.
ok are there more than one of these stupid guys in the zone? I got one that conned yellow on track and went to him ... not there and track led me to the middle of the rock. OH BTW he was due west of the Giant Fort Entrance. Loc is like 300 by -200 so way different from what I read here.
I did this part of the Ranger Epic quest today and spent about 30 minutes running around looking for cons of white to red. After I only found 3 red cons and non of them him. I searched down the Tracking list and there he is a Dark Blue. How can he be level 45 if he cons Dark Blue to a level 43?

P.S. He was easy to find once I really looked for him, just have to move at his pace while you hand him the painting.
Doing my druid's epic, I located this guy in FM. No big deal.
Problem was that i could not see him or taget him!!
I was 100% sure i was on the spot ( which btw was a big rock west of giant fort). He seemed to be stuck in the rock, bad pathing or bad spwan I guess.
So I used UPHEAVAL to get his attention while being on the spot where I tracked him. Without moving, only turning he would infront and then behind. That means I should be stepping on his toes!! Anyway with UPHEAVAL, HE AGROED AS EXPECTED. So I was in the right spot!!
Did this today. After reading these posts I was convinced the skeleton was atop the giant fort. SO I levitated and used the jagged rock adjacent to the fort to float to the wall. Looking down I saw the skeleton standing at the bottom. I know the skeleton tends to move and the pathing can be terrible, but I thought I'd share this in case another ranger is convinced he (or she if it's the mother of niedra) is atop the wall, check the bottom first.
Since lvl 30, I've been doing what I can pre-epic (foraging and the like) and once I got a Rose of Firiona, I decided to try for this leg of the quest, since it seemed easy and, if my turn-ins weren't accepted because of my level (now 33), it wasn't that big of a deal since I could just go forage another.
Personally, I think this leg of the quest (some of my higher-level friends have helped me with some of the corrupted mobs) has been the easiest yet, as when I zoned into Frontier Mnts., I just headed for the fort and got the skelly on tracking. He wound up being in a small valley south of the fort, just walking along like nothing had happened. I would recommend you have SoW, and if you're a low-level like me, Superior Camo.
