The grotto's shrine to Hircine
|
Fallen Grotto is under the control of Brinarch and his Reachmen.
Quick Walkthrough[edit]
- Talk to Wyress Linnae.
- Activate the wards.
- Go to the altar.
- Participate in Hircine's Hunt.
- Recover Brinarch's briar heart.
Detailed Walkthrough[edit]
Defeat the Aspect of Guile, the Aspect of Strength, and the Aspect of Speed.
- If you are werewolf, or even if you were one but have cured the condition, Hircine will allude to having met you before.
- Even if you have the green glow around you while standing near the wards, the bears killed have to be close enough to them for it to work, as their spirits have a limited range they can travel before disappearing.
- The bear guardians become Neutral after activating the wards.

- Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
