Walkthrough
Head to the Sacred Altar in Jaga Moraine to summon the Bear Spirit. You will be attacked by Arctic Nightmares while capturing the altar the first time you do this quest; they will not attack when repeating the quest. Speak to Bear to initiate the quest, then walk through the portal to Bjora Marches.

Fight your way through the Charr, mandragor, and elementals on your way to the Shrine of the Bear Spirit. The Shrine is guarded by three groups of Charr, each with a boss: one group of Charr Seekers, one of Flameshielders, and one of Blademasters and a Hexreaper. The Flameshielders are the most dangerous, with their combination of large AoE damage from Meteor Shower and Firestorm and good defensive capabilities. After defeating all three groups, talk to the Shrine to obtain the temporary skill Ursan Aura.

Unlike in the other two Norn quests, Ursan Aura is actually required to complete this quest, as you cannot break down the barricades without Ursan Force. The other Ursan skills are also fairly powerful compared to the Volfen and Raven skills, so all players may want to use Ursan Aura here. Alternatively, when repeating this quest, the permanent skill Ursan Blessing can be used instead, and you can head directly to the homestead without having to go to the shrine.

Once inside Jora's homestead, destroy all five groups of Charr to complete the quest. After a cutscene, the party will be returned to Gunnar's Hold.
