This is the first level 47 quest from Grimm Brellhand in Gramash Ruins. This quest must be completed before the level 47 ability quest can be started.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Speak with Grimm Brellhand
Speak with Grimm Brellhand in Gramash Ruins (S) to begin the quest.
To find Grimm Brellhand, coach to Murnf and travel northeast into Gramash Ruins. If you are evil-aligned, you can travel from Zentar's Keep instead.
Grimm Brellhand can be found inside the blacksmith house in the southern section of Gramash Ruins.
Warning: There are many hostile enemies in the area. Invisibility is recommended.
Step 2: Speak with Head Foreman Zeke
Grimm Brellhand sends you to Gerntar's Mine to speak with Head Foreman Zeke.
Head Foreman Zeke can be found near the coach. Speak with him to continue the quest.
Step 3: Purchase a Pickaxe
Head Foreman Zeke tells you to purchase a pickaxe from Quartermaster Malda.
Buy the pickaxe from Quartermaster Malda for 3,000 Tunar.
Equip the pickaxe before entering the minotaur caves.
Step 4: Gather the First Ore
Travel to the minotaur caves.
Enter the first cave and go to the back of the tunnel. A pop-up will appear allowing you to dig.
Use the prompt to gather the first ore.
Note: You can receive the dig pop-ups while invisible.
Step 5: Gather the Second and Third Ores
Skip the second cave and continue to the third cave.
At the ends of both tunnels in the third cave, you will receive two more dig pop-ups.
Use both prompts to gather the remaining ores.
Step 6: Speak with Gilthirn Ironhoof
Inside the third cave, speak with Gilthirn Ironhoof.
He tells you about Khelmarak.
Step 7: Defeat Khelmarak
To spawn Khelmarak, travel to the back of the second cave.
A pop-up will appear, and Khelmarak will spawn on top of you.
Khelmarak is level 48 or 49 and can see through invisibility.
Defeat Khelmarak and loot his horn.
After Khelmarak is defeated, six minotaurs will appear behind you. They will not attack.
Step 8: Return to Gilthirn Ironhoof
Speak with Gilthirn Ironhoof again.
He will be standing with the six minotaurs that appeared after Khelmarak was defeated.
Turn in Khelmarak's horn. This grants a large faction increase with the minotaurs, making you no longer kill-on-sight to them.
Step 9: Return to Head Foreman Zeke
Return to Head Foreman Zeke in Gerntar's Mine.
Speak with him so he can approve the ores.
Step 10: Return to Grimm Brellhand
Return to Grimm Brellhand in Gramash Ruins.
He now sends you to Cazic Thule to obtain additional ore.
Step 11: Travel to the Cazic Thule Temple
Travel to Cazic Thule (N).
The main temple is the only temple in the zone that allows you to descend inside. Enter the temple and locate the pyramid.
Drop down through the top of the pyramid to reach the lower area.
Inside the pyramid, there is a central room with four hallways leading away from it.
Step 12: Defeat the Tunneler
The Tunneler spawns in the hallway that ends with three Tae Ew facing the wall.
The middle Tae Ew is the placeholder for Tunneler.
Defeat the placeholder until Tunneler spawns.
Defeat Tunneler and loot the required ore.
Step 13: Defeat the Excavator
The Excavator spawns in the room with the sunken floor.
This room contains several enemies, including door guards, ramp guards, a Stone Golem, additional Tae Ew, and a wandering Tae Ew.
The Excavator spawns directly across from the Stone Golem. His placeholder is the middle enemy between two mobs.
Defeat the placeholder until Excavator spawns.
Defeat Excavator and loot the required ore.
Important: Do not drop down into the sunken pit unless your group is prepared. This area can become dangerous if several enemies respawn at the same time.
Step 14: Return to Grimm Brellhand
Once you have both ores from Cazic Thule, return to Grimm Brellhand in Gramash Ruins.
Speak with him to complete the quest and receive 7,083,126 XP and a class-specific item.
Notes
- This quest must be completed before the Gramash Ruins 47 Ability Quest can be started.
- Tunneler and Excavator are not quest-triggered and can be spawned before logging the quest.
- Both Tunneler and Excavator only drop two quest items.
- The Tunneler and Excavator placeholders may take a while to spawn the named versions.
- In the Excavator room, avoid looting unnecessary mobs if you want to control respawns.
