DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Per patch 1.70:

- Barnett's Shield - The maximum level of this quest has been raised to level 25 so that players working on Bedelia's Grief can continue working on their quest.



Prerequistite quest is Sir Gleran's Lost Necklace.

Sir Gleran's (Humberton) best man, Barnett, was ambushed and killed while trying to defend Sir Gleran's Lady's honor. Your task is to locate both halves of Barnett's shield, as well as bringing Gleran the head of Mootang, whom is responsible for the man's death. You must get the shield halves from two boulderlings, which can be found way up on the mountain side behind Swanton Keep.

Once that is completed, you can find Mootang at the goblin camp that is also near Swanton Keep and wait for Mootang to spawn in the back left corner of the camp. Once slain, return the two shield halves and Mootang's head to Sir Gleran in the order he requests them and you will receive your reward.

*Additional information for those completing the nested quest Bedelia's Grief.

I traveled to N. Black Mountains and, aware that there were large rock trolls just south of Swanton Keep, made that my first stop. They were green to me and quickly died, yielding Barnett's shield in two pieces. Then I needed to find Mootang. I know of two goblin hangouts in N. Black Mountains. I checked the one straight west of Snowdonia Station first. There are some rocks in the back that have rolled down the mountain and allow easy access to the wall of the town in back. The goblins are apparently too lazy to keep up their wall very well. Sure enough!

Mootang was in there, and a couple of my ice creatures were enough to end his miserable life! He had the nerve to tell me that I was braver than that poor Barnett! Mootang is inside the hut nearest the back wall, and since his door faces the camp entrance, is near impossible to target.

However, I've found that if you approach the camp from the west, occasionally a goblin warrior will patrol outside the west wall. Attack him, and the nearest two goblins will come to his defense (even though they are behind the wall), one of whom is Mootang. At level 13, that means you only need fight 2 goblin warriors (green) and Mootang (blue), easy enough to solo.

I returned the shield pieces and Mootang's head to Sir Geran, who gave me a bag to return to Bedelia and rewarded me with a jagged axe... which was of no use to a Theurgist! However, good-naturedly I agreed to take the bag to Bedelia anyway. Thus ended Barnett's Shield Quest.
_________________________________________________________________
Notes from Shadowar:
1) Talk to Sir Gleran at loc 20040, 40650 in Black mtns South (he is inside Castle Humberton).

2) Go kill Large Boulderlings at loc 37400, 19000 in Black mtns North (it is near Snowdonia station). It has to be day, because at night the Large boulderlings change to Rock Elementals wich wont do. Kill boulderlings until you get the 2 halves of Barnett's shield.

3) Go kill Mootang inside the goblin camp at loc 18500, 26700 (another loc mentioned is Loc 19100 27700)in Black mtns North (again, near Snowdonia station). Go from behind the camp, climb on the camp's stone wall (using the boulders near it), pull Mootang or one of the goblin warriors near him, jump down from the wall and run up the slope for a bit. Wait for Mootang there.

4) Give both halves of the shield as well as Mootang's head to Sir Gleran in Castle Humberton.

Reward:
  Jagged Axe

can't find boulderlings

I got this quest, and i can't find the boulerlings. I can kill Mootang over and over, but the quest won't update, until you kill the boulderlings first, which I can't find. I looked all over the NBM areas, and found only other mobs except these boulderlings, even up by Sawnton keep and Snowdoina keep. The woods next to Sawnton keep have spraggons and coctrices, amd bears and lions. Besides the Hunters.
No pre req anymore

Just before finishing up the second part of this three-part quest (as in before giving Gleran the necklace), this quest activated. It's possible this quest no longer requires the other two to be done.

I went straight east from Snowdonia Station and found no goblin camp. There were tents with a few of those neutral hunters around, but beyond that were a handful of filidhs and one filidh sacrificer in the way back standing next to an obelisk. Very eerie, but a dead end.

Mootang is without a doubt at the goblin fort. There's plenty of aggro around even in the back, so taking out a grey warg or two probably wouldn't hurt. All it takes is one aggro of a goblin warrior in the back to pull Moontang.

Also, Sir Gleran gave me the Jagged Axe directly after returning Moontang's head.
Another way to pull Mootang

If you attack wargs on the slope leading up to the goblin fort, Mootang seems to come barreling out on his own to defend them.
I tried this a couple of times, only had to kill a few wargs and out he came.
This was on the Euro server Prydwen, which is currently on version 1.50

Excellent advice on pulling Mootang. I'll add that you should make sure to only WOUND the goblin (this will also work if a warg is in that position). After one-shotting 3 green goblin warriors in a row (level 14 Wiz bolts are very effective against gobs :) ) I discovered that if the critter dies in one shot, no aggro (although I did get the group bonus). Once I used a less effective spell and wounded one before taking it down, Moontang and friends came right out.
DEATH TO MOOTANG
# Aug 20 2002 at 3:30 PM Rating: Default
does anyone know what the easiest way to kill mootang is using a level 13 pally?
Definitely West
# Jul 01 2002 at 11:29 AM Rating: Excellent
Unless they moved the goblin fort at some time after the posting of this quest, Mootang is most certainly WEST, in fact, west-northwest, of Snowdonia Station. He's difficult to see from the hill, and pulling him with a few pets almost always resulted in either the entire camp or at least four goblin warriors. I'd suggest bringing help, or doing this at a higher level, and I am a theurgist. ;) At least wait till the goblin warriors will be grey. That way Mootang will be green, the king & the other named guy will be blue, and you won't have to worry about as many adds.

Large boulderlings are Southeast of Swanton Keep, past the hunters. It could be seen from the keep if there weren't so many trees. Killing the yellow one did yield the left and right half of the shield, but it took quite a few blues to get the yellow one to show again. About 6-8 total.

Hardest part is seeing and getting to Mootang without getting jumped.
wrong !!!!!

I had the same problem ,my quest startet with bedelias grief.After i solved the shield quest i have to kill king smugluk .
But I just cant get him to spawn or am i possibly wrong at the gobo camp for this guy??
RE: king smugluk
# Feb 22 2002 at 11:24 AM Rating: Decent
I've sent in detailed information on this quest, but it hasn't yet been posted. King Smugluk is in the same camp straight west of Snowdonia Station. He's in the middle of the camp, and sometimes in one of the little huts.

Climb on the rocks in the back of the camp, and then onto the wall. As you target through the various NPCs he will show up on the list.

large Boulderlings vs Bolserlings
# Jan 17 2002 at 8:36 AM Rating: Default
My quest said to get the two halves of the Shield from Large Boulderlings in North Black Mountains. I killed a large boulderling and got the right half. The description changed to say "get the other half from the boulderlings in NBM". I cannot get the large Boulderlings to drop it and can't find "regular" boulderlings in NBM. "reg" boulderlings an Camelot Hills do not drop it either? Help?
RE: large Boulderlings vs Bolserlings
# Jan 30 2002 at 6:42 AM Rating: Good
When I was lvl14 I can see a bunch of blue large boulderings and just one yellow. The right side is dropped by any blue but the left side can only be dropped by the yellow one.

This quest for me is starting from Bedelia in Camelot. She says Barnett is her son and she wants the shield back. She instructs me to go see Gleran in Humberton castle and give him a portrait of Barnett that she hands me. I went to Gleran and he asks for proof that I am from Bedelia. I hand him the portrait but it says that he does not want that. Even though my journal says to give it to him. Has anyone had this problem or one similar to it?
RE: Sir Gleran
# Jan 19 2002 at 9:14 AM Rating: Default
I too had the same problem. After I'd given him the portiat, the quest line in my journal still did not go away. I figured I'd wait to see if it vanished once I finished this, associated quest.

goblin camp is at 17300, 28200 up on a hill. Mootang should be easy to find in the back left corner of the camp
