Souls at Unrest

Quest Giver: Petrov — Hollowstone Mine, Grizzly Hills [55.4, 24]

Objective: Use the Miner’s Lantern to burn the corpses of 8 Hollowstone Miners.

Walkthrough

• Enter Hollowstone Mine and kill the undead Hollowstone Miners inside.
• After each kill, use the Miner’s Lantern (provided quest item) on the corpse to burn it. The objective tracker counts “Miner at Rest” for each successful burn. You need 8 total.
• Return to Petrov at the mine entrance to turn in.

Efficiency Tips

• You must use the lantern on the corpse after killing each miner. Simply killing them is not enough. Petrov’s dialogue explains why: he’s been killing them over and over, but they keep coming back. The lantern is the only way to put them down permanently.
• The miners respawn quickly, so there’s no shortage of targets. Work your way through the mine in a loop.
• This quest pairs with A Name from the Past, which turns in at Stoutmantle back at the Westfall Brigade Encampment. Grab both and complete them in one trip.

Lore Context

Pay attention to Petrov’s dialogue. He talks about his “comrades” and says “We Hollowstone miners always finish the job, we never give up! That’s why Arugal made an example of us.”

The miners refused to join the Wolfcult, and Arugal turned them all undead as punishment.

When you report back to Stoutmantle in the follow-up quest, he dismisses Petrov’s claims about Arugal, saying Arugal has been “dead for years” and that the “survivor” seems traumatized. The strong implication is that Petrov himself is a ghost who doesn’t realize he died along with his comrades.

He’s still “finishing the job,” just like the rest of them.
