Tips

  • Summon him with Deer Trophies at his altar in the Meadows; the glowing runestone near where you start marks it on your map.
  • He resists nothing, so bring whatever weapon you like. Every one of his attacks can be blocked, even with a Wood Shield.
  • With a bow, circle the big rocks around the altar: they stop his lightning charge. Keep 10 m away when he stomps.

Hugin says

Calling forth the beast

You have found the summoning place of one of the Forsaken. Make the correct offering at their altar and they will come. Be wary though, the Forsaken are not easy prey, so craft a wicked weapon, don your finest armour, and eat a hearty meal before engaging them in combat.

Congratulations, warrior!

Return to the Sacrificial Stones with your Forsaken trophy and offer it as a sacrifice to make the Gods smile upon you.

Oden is pleased

You have been granted the power of Eikthyr. Use it in times of need. Your next target dwells in the black forest. Go there, explore the lands, and uncover their lost treasures and resources. The Elder awaits!
