Quest Group: The Legend of Beowulf
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest A Fiend out of Hell.
This quest starts automatically after Wulfhilda tells you about another place where dead livestock were found, which happens at the end of the quest "A Fiend out of Hell".
Wulfhilda and Eivor have a lead on a roving war-band near the site of the first animal attack. Time to learn whether this is the work of man or beast.
Brisleah Farm
England
Together with Wulfhilda, go to the northeastern location she told you about. When you get there you will see three wolves attacking an old woman. Kill the wolves.
Talk to the woman. She will thank you for saving her from the wolves and mention an axe belonging to Hrothgar that she found.
Follow Wulfhilda until you reach Brisleah Farm and enter the church.
Hrothgar will not be among the dead so you decide to search for him.
Shoot down the ladder inside the church and climb it up.
You will find mortally wounded Hrothgar on the upper level. Approach and talk to him. Before he dies, he will tell you who is responsible for all this.
Interact with the spot near the railing to start the meditation and wait for Grendel to appear.
You can take advantage of the fact that Grendel is unaware of your presence and assasinate him or kill him in any other way.
Once you defeat him, you will realize that he was no monster, just a somewhat strange man. Eivor will note the mold covering everything. This quest will end and you will receive a new one - "Ever As Fate Must".
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Ever As Fate Must.
