Follow the quest arrow, battling your way through large [[Jotun]]. Once you get to the shrine area, there will be several wolves who will turn from ally to foe. Destroy these as well as the few Jotun. After all [[foe]]s in the area are cleared out, double click on the Volfen Spirit. Receive the blessing and then replace a skill on your bar with it. Activate it and use Volfen Bloodlust. This will allow you to track Svanir the Nornbear. Follow the marker to a large room-area, and destroy foes in your way. In upper right corner you will find a corpse and Jora will speak, making the Nornbear appear. Attack it until it disappears. Track him again with Bloodlust, and follow the path back the way you came. Follow the wall until where the star is. If you don't notice it, there will be a small path up on the right. Go up it and toward an arch made of ice. Do NOT pass the arch, first because you don't need to and second there is a group outside of it. Jora should begin speaking before you get to it anyways. The Nornbear will appear and you will need to attack it until it disappears yet again. He will disappear and you will need to head down the little path. Start heading back toward the first place you battled him. Continue tracking him with Bloodlust. Once you get to the tunnels with icy walls, make the first left and follow the path. When you get to the top you will see the Nornbear as an ally, and he and Jora will have a brief dialogue. Attack and kill the Nornbear. Once he is defeated, there will be a cutscene in which Jora will finish the job, saying this was the only way for it to end. After the cut scene, you are teleported back to Sifhalla.

Walkthrough[ | ]

Follow the quest arrow, battling your way through mandragors and jotun. Once you get to the shrine area, there will be several wolves who will turn from ally to foe and start attacking the jotun. After all foes in the area are cleared out, you can click on the Shrine of the Wolf Spirit and equip the Volfen Blessing skill on your skill bar.

If you activate Volfen Blessing and use Volfen Bloodlust. it will make a quest marker appear, indicating Svanir's location. You will have to track him down three times. In the first two fights, he will disappear after taking some damage. The third time, you will fight him to the death. After the cutscene you will be returned to Sifhalla.

The Nornbear will appear when you reach each location regardless of whether you are actually using Volfen Bloodlust or not, so as long as you know where he will appear (locations 2 through 4 on the map), you do not have to activate the shrine at all.

Hard mode[ | ]

When combined with the conditions spammed by other mandragors, the Dreamroot Mandragor's Fevered Dreams makes it by far the most dangerous mob in the mission, so it should be targeted first in the mandragor groups.

Dialogues[ | ]

Briefing from the Scrying Pool.

Quest Log: "Svanir, the Nornbear, has been sighted in the caves above Drakkar Lake. Help Jora and Sif track down Svanir and kill him."
Get the Volfen Blessing from the Shrine of the Wolf Spirit:
Sif Shadowhunter: "The Nornbear strikes and then vanishes. To catch him, we must invoke the power of the wolf spirit. Travel with me to the Shrine of the Wolf Spirit and receive Wolf's blessing!"
Invoke the Volfen Blessing to receive the abilities of the wolf spirit:
Jora: "Wolf is pleased! The Shrine of the Wolf Spirit imbues you with its aura. This magic does not provide the physical prowess we received from the bear spirit, but it will help in this hunt. Invoke the power and then follow your nose!"
Track down Svanir, the Nornbear:
Jora: "I have come for you. Show yourself, brother!"
Stay on Svanir's trail:
Jora: "Face your fate, Svanir! Your treacherous blood must flow to cleanse our family."
Slay Svanir, the Nornbear:
Jora: "It comes to this, brother. I have no choice."
Nornbear: "Swallow your pathetic excuses and your pity, sister. Your weakness will be your downfall."
Jora: "Forgive me, brother. This is for the best."

Cutscene 1[ | ]

The Nornbear
Jora: "Stand aside. I must finish this."
<party leader>: "Jora, he's defeated."
Jora: "He is my brother. He is my responsibility."
<party leader>: "Jora, you have my sympathy."
Jora: "This was the only way it could end."
Jora: "The curse is lifted. For both me and Svanir, I think."
Jora: "You have helped me. I shall help you."
Ogden Stonehealer: "Good. We need to unite the other Norn to fight the Destroyers."
Jora: "I fear my words will carry little weight. I have my brother's blood on my hands."
Ogden Stonehealer: "If you can't influence the Norn, then who can?"
Jora: "Olaf the sevenfold son of Olaf is esteemed by many. As for me, I must seek Egil, who tells tales by the flame, to fully redeem my family's name."
Ogden Stonehealer: "Olaf it is, then. I need to talk to a Norn leader."
Jora: "Norn do not have leaders, Dwarf. Only heroes."
<party leader>: "Jora, we can aid you and seek out allies. Let us help you with your burdens."
Jora: "You have the spirit of a Norn, human. I am proud to call you friend."

Trivia[ | ]

  • The sword that Jora wields in the final cutscene is not the one she was using during the mission.
  • Jora is an ally during this quest, so bringing her as a hero will not rename her to "Norn Warrior," resulting in two Joras onscreen at once.
