Walkthrough

Finding Garhal

• From Mildred, head east (straight down the hall) into the first large chamber.
• Garhal is in this room at approximately [45, 69], accompanied by two male vrykul and guarded by two female Hyldnir.
• He may already be dead when you arrive. His respawn is fast (roughly one minute), so wait briefly if needed.

Killing Garhal

• Focus Garhal directly. When he dies, his guards despawn, so you only need to kill him.
• If possible, pull Garhal alone to avoid unnecessary combat with his companions.
• Tagging is critical. You must land the first hit on Garhal to receive quest credit. If he is already engaged with guards or another player when he spawns, you may not get credit even if you participate in the kill. Wait for the next respawn and tag him immediately.

Efficiency Tips

• This is a quick in-and-out quest. Garhal’s fast respawn means minimal downtime even on busy servers.
• Druids: While in your Hyldnir disguise, shifting to Cat Form grants full access to your feral abilities without breaking the disguise appearance. This makes the fight significantly easier than using your staff in caster form.
• If Garhal spawns mid-combat with his guards and you can’t secure the tag, don’t waste time fighting. Step back and wait for the next cycle.

Lore Context

Mildred runs the Forlorn Mine as a forced labor operation, using male vrykul as slaves. Garhal has been stirring insurrection among the captive men, and Mildred wants him executed publicly as a warning.

You’re doing all of this under the guise of a Hyldnir overseer, working to earn Mildred’s trust so she’ll eventually hand over the keys to Lok’lira the Crone’s shackles.

Easter Eggs

• Mildred’s quest text opens with “For every action there is an opposite reaction,” a paraphrase of Newton’s Third Law of Motion.
