DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Talk to an Npc called Yver Tiu, near the entrance of the city. He is studying spiders, and like to get some legs from the soot harvesters in Muspelheim.

Yver Tiu says, "I see a wise person stands before me. Did you take heed of my warnings, friend, or do you come to mock me, as so many others do? Most folk find me odd because of my studies of [spiders]."

Yver Tiu says, "There are so many varieties in Midgard, it would take me days on end to list them all. I'm sure a seasoned adventurer like yourself has seen many of them. Perhaps, though, you'd be willing to assist an old man with a project?"

Yver Tiu says, "I have heard there are some oddities with the soot harvester spiders in Muspelheim. Please travel there and retrieve for me a bundle of legs so I may study them."

You have been given the Widower Hunt quest.

[Step #1] Go to Muspelheim and slay a soot harvester.

[Step #2] Return the bundle of harvester legs to Yver in Haggerfel.

Yver Tiu says, "Oh ho! You've returned! Glorious! Now, for the next task. You need to retrieve some more [parts] for me."

Yver Tiu says, "My friend, Darrius, who lives in Fort Atla has recently made a strange discovery with some spinnerets. He wants me to look them over. Please take this note to him and bring the spinnerets back to me so I may further examine them."

You receive a note to Darrius from Yver Tiu!

Darius says, "Ah, a note from Yver, my old friend. I see he wants you to deliver these spinnerets to him. I wish I had been able to make the delivery myself, but my wife is due any day now. Here are the spinnerets. Be careful, they are very delicate."

You receive silk spinnerets from Darrius.

You are awarded experience!
You are awarded 24 silver and some copper.


[Step #4] Take the spinnerets to Yver in Haggerfel.

Yver Tiu says, "Darrius has truly outdone himself this time. I do now see the oddities of which he spoke about in his last letter. Now friend, there is [more to be done]."

Yver Tiu says, "You are truly a skilled and valuable asset to Midgard. For this, I salute you! Through your bravery and selflessness, you have demonstrated that you are more than [trustworthy] for my next task!"

Yver Tiu says, "While you were out and about for me, I sent others like you on similar quests. All have returned various spider parts to me, and I am most disturbed at what I see. I believe there are those that are deliberately tampering with the [forces of magic]."

Yver Tiu says, "I know of one way to cull it, but I require another favour from you. Deep within west Svealand live the Blodfelag clan. Within their ranks are shamantic priests known as the [haxa]."

Yver Tiu says, "Because the Blodfelag are purely Norse, they have defiled the laws of nature by attempting to subvert the Shaman's magic to their own twisted ways. They have destroyed the land around them with their corruption, as well as the animals. These spider parts tell me that their magic is spreading to other parts of the land, not just remaining localised around their fortress. I must obtain a haxa charm necklace in order to perform a [rite] to banish their magic from corrupting any others."

Yver Tiu says, "It would take far too long to explain right now, and we are quickly running out of time. Please retrieve this necklace for me so I might curb those that would harm Midgard."

[Step #5] Travel to W. Svealand and kill a blodfelag haxa.

[Step #6] Return the charm necklace to Yver in Haggerfel.

Yver Tiu says, "You continue to amaze me brave Kayje. Now, before this rite can be performed, you must take this bundle to Averrius, in Myrkwood. He is an enchanter and can open the magic within these pieces so I may properly focus on the corruption."

You receive a bundle of spider parts from Yver Tiu!

[Step #7] Take Yver's bundle to Averrius in Gna Faste, near the guard tower in Myrkwood Forest.

Averrius says, "Interesting, very interesting. Let me see what I can do with this. Please wait."

Averrius says, "I am finished. You may return these to Yver. He will now be able to do his rite. I hope he discovers who is behind all this."

You receive enchanted spider parts from Averrius.

[Step #8] Return the enchanted spider parts to Yver in Haggerfel.

Yver Tiu says, "The package, thank you friend, thank you. Please wait while I perform this rite and cease the corruption of the Blodfelag once and for all."

Yver Yiu says, "It seems I was wrong about the Blodfelag. While there magic is corrupting the wilderness, it is not them that defiles the spiders. Nay, there twisted magic has not spread much farther than their fortress, as I originally said. There is another [force at work here]."

Yver Tiu says, "While I though it was merely a legend, something to scare children with at night, I see now that I have been a fool. There is a spider of immense power called the [Widower] who roams the woods of Myrkwood."

Yver Tiu says, "He is thusly called for the men he has killed and widows he has made. While his power seems weak at the moment, I cannot help but think that it will grow strong soon. My brother has agreed to help up with this. He shall meet you in Myrkwood and together you shall find this creature and slay him. Should he regain his powers, there's no telling [what will happen]."

Yver Tiu says, "I fear Midgard is in peril friend. Quickly, travel to Myrkwood, he will meet you at the web covered tree near Spindelhalla. Quickly, you must hurry!"

[Step #9] Go to Myrkwood and slay the Widower with Yric, Yver�s brother.

Yric Tiu is just NW of spindelhalla entrance, loc 3581, 14407.

As soon as you right click on Yric, as if to speak with him, Widower (level 23-24) will appear right there with you and attack you, speaking the following 3 entries constantly until he is dead......

Widower says, "For so long I have been imprisoned within this fleshy body. You shall feel my pain and Midgard shall feel my wrath!!!"

Widower says, "You think you can defeat me you children of Valhalla? Try then, fools! I shall be the death of you both!"

Yric Tiu says, "So, Averrius, I should have known. You Arachite traitor! How dare you defile Midgard with your devious magic! We shall destroy you!"

On dying he says.....
Widower says, "The Arachites will slay your family and eat your children."

[Step #10] Speak with Yric again.

Yric Tiu says, "You have done well young Kayje. I wish to reward you for your valiant attempts. I will make you a shield with the parts from his carapace. Let me imbue them with the power of Valhalla. This will only take a moment."

Yric Tiu says, "Here you are. Use this shield well, and never forget the lessons we both learned here today."

You receive the Widower Shield from Yric Tiu.

You are awarded experience!
You are awarded 3 Gold and some silver.
You have finished the Widower Hunt quest.

Reward:
  Widower Shield

Don't even bother with this quest unless you have a hangover and a nice sleepy day of watching your character run around on a horse seems like a good time. Just wait till 21 and get the Eld one drop shield. In the time it took to do this silly quest I could have dinged twice.

*EDIT* Eld drop is at 22. Derp.

# Aug 28 2002 at 9:48 AM Rating: Default
I think that I either
- sold the drop
- never received the drop

from dreadkane dwarfeater. I have also never seen another mob appear near him (the queen)!

So this quest seems broken - I cannot progress. Any suggestions?

I dont even want the shield now - I just want to clear my logs!

I just saw the queen, she is closer to the lake by the Tingler Webmother, static spawn.

RE: I need help

I accidentally sold the spinnerets too. I have tryed and go back to Darrius but nothing happens... Anyone know what to do?
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 03 2002 at 12:13 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This quest sucks!! I have been doing it for ages and it sucks
Broken?
# May 31 2002 at 3:26 PM Rating: Default
My lvl 23 SB can't get this quest. Really makes me mad because I ran around doing the stupid Ick quest for an item I don't want so I could do this one so ..... I can do the next one for the Woven crest crown.

Is this not working or only some classes now? I can use a small shield so that can't be the problem.
This quest is bunk!!

With a lvl 2 speed run and taking a horse at every possible turn, we were able to finish this quest in a record of 6 hours. The absolute highlight of the quest was when part three was entirely different for the skald and I forcing us to go way out of our way to get it finished. You do the math.. but in 6 hours we easily could have been level 24 and it would have been time to shop for a new shield. Most of the MOB's would have been hard for a lvl 21 Warrior, mainly because a few of the area were easy to pull aggro's or even get lost. As for the final boss she was cake, especially in a group. Without a group many parts of this quest would have been a massive pain, especially without a speed-runner... all in all i will never partake in this quest... it WAS the most painful quest i have ever completed!!
where is the haxa

I am up to the haxa part but i can not find any.
RE: where is the haxa

They are found inside the large bloodfeleg fort in the NW corner of West Svealand.
where is camp?

Where is the location of the Arachite camp with Dreadkane Dwareater?
um...

I think this quest is not available for all classes. I am a warrior level 23 and I could not get the quest. Anybody knows this problem?

I am a level 27 Runemaster and have done the Ick quest and still ca't get this one to trigger.
Maybe its melee only.

Quest descrition WRONG
# Apr 06 2002 at 10:48 PM Rating: Default
Whats this about a Blod Haxa? I got a mission to kill Dreadkane Dwarfkiller. I dont see htat anywhere on this page although older posts refer to it. Im a skald if that matters.
RE: Quest descrition WRONG
# Apr 08 2002 at 1:16 PM Rating: Default
Just as all the other quests in the game there is a chance you could be asked to kill something different, so the description is NOT wrong, just doesn't pertain to the path you were given.
Halfway through
# Mar 25 2002 at 12:50 PM Rating: Default
Hmm, i may have made a mess of this somewhere along the lines but hopefully someone can help me. I've done the rescue, been back to Yver and been asked to kill a haxa. I've probably killed about 30 from various locations on my travels since doing taking this step on, staerting with the single one that hangs around up the path from the fort. The only thinkg i've received is a ring of red hands from the first haxa i killed and thats it. My journal now says talk with Yver but he doesnt talk to me, im a bit confused now :(
quest changed
# Mar 22 2002 at 5:45 PM Rating: Default
The quest has changed, the second step is to deliver the note to Garon in Audliten.
Rescue Averrius?
# Mar 21 2002 at 10:45 AM Rating: Decent
Hmmm. There's an 'Averrius' near Spindelhalla as well, near one of the towers. Perhaps he is the one you need to talk to.
RE: Rescue Averrius?
# Mar 22 2002 at 12:59 PM Rating: Default
Thank you for the response. In fact that is the correct answer. I went looking for him and he was there. I spoke with him and he thanked me for freeing him and gave me the items I needed... easy.

Hmmmm. Well I received the quest at 21 and did the first part with the harvester quite easily. I went back to Yver and he told me to go rescue Averrius ????? He said that Averrius was captured by the arachites. Anyone have any idea where in their territory I can find him? Thanks for the help!

RE: Captured Averrius
# Mar 25 2002 at 11:14 AM Rating: Default
Hey, Averrius can be found West and slightly north of Gna Faste, best way to get there is to follow path North and then cut straight west when the path starts to turn. You may also go straight North from WW Fort around the lake.
I think min level is incorrect
# Mar 15 2002 at 12:41 PM Rating: Default
I'm a dwarven healer and I couldn't get this quest at level 20, but when I talked to him at level 21 I got the quest. I think the min level is 21.
He won't talk!
# Mar 03 2002 at 5:22 PM Rating: Default
I wonder if this quest is broken? It's a level 20 quest for all classes. The shield you get at the end can be used by a Thane, Skald, Healer or Shammie I believe. But Yver (who is located in Haggerfel) won't speak to me about it, even though I'm a lvl 20 Healer. Has anyone else had this problem?

Seems to be level 21 is the minimum.... but as for it being for ALL classes, unfortunatly not. My berserker CANNOT get the quest, but my healer did it.

I think you cannot do it if you are not of a class to use the shield.
RE: He won't talk!
# Mar 27 2002 at 8:13 PM Rating: Default
My Lvl 22 Warrior cant get the quest either
Messed up hardcore

My quest is really mixed up... I'm supposed to go to archalites not to kill Dreadkane but to save Averrius... I never got the Dreadkane part
