DISCLAIMER: Your Steps and Tasks may be different

Per Patch 1.65:

- Dark Places of the Soul - This quest was always tended to be a Midgard only quest. Players that were getting the quest without meeting all of the quest requirements will no longer be able to do so. The quest will still be available to all Midgard players that are level 49 or higher and have completed the quest, Mucking Through the Ick.


#1: Idona in Fort veldon ( far right of S Building, loc 46k, 5.3k )

#2: Find Jytal in Gna Faste hut and /say Idona

#3: Take horse to West Skona and then head East. The arachites spawned when
I was around 33k, 22k. I saw one at first, wait till you see several and then follow them till they go S to the ledge and watch them enter the building with the werewolves. Make sure to notice if the arachites kill or are killed here.

#4: Travel back to Gna Faste and speak with Jytal. He will want to know if they were "defeated" or "victorious". When I clicked "defeated" another task was given me.

#5: I went E of Gna Faste to the little island with the visible well. When on that island there is a building and a named svartalf named Gunflor is located. Kill him ( he does not BAF or yell for help when solo and is blue to a level 50 ). Location is 45k 33k in Myrkwood. Gunflor had about 1650 HP
Edit: Gunflor does BAF: If you go up and whack him, the other half a dozen svartalfs or so in the ruin attacks you too. If you lure him out, he comes alone.

#6: Return to Gna Faste and hand head to Jytal. You will receive the Ring of Spun Silk ( +21 hp +10% crush/matter +3 con ), 5g, and 415 million xp at
level 50.

#7: Go to Fort Veldon and talk with Idona again.

#8: Head to Haggerfell and start the "Strange Powers" quest from Yver Tui. See left for link to quest.
Finish quest then come back.

#9: Head back to Veldon and talk to Idona and /say Yver is cured

#10: Head to Jordheim and find Blackpaw. He is in NE corner ( loc 21k 27k )
with Aaric being the weapon merchant at the door. This is closest to the mularn entrance. Hand him Gunflor's head

#11: Head back to Fort Veldon and tell Idona "The Werewolves have allied
with us"

#12: Head back to Mularn and speak with Goi (It is possible you may receive an extra step here where you will be instructed to go to Muspelheim and locate Morgi Surtsson kill his guards and obtain some blood form him.)


#13: Head to Huginfell and tell Besje "stone bowl". Bjese is in farthest NE
house ( loc 58k 45k )

#14: Head to Jord and speak to Alfgeirr about "magical bowl". Alfgeirr is located in the building by the forge ( S of mularn's merchant area ) in the easternmost building he will ask if you are a brave, adventurous man, etc.... if you say yes you have to do the nottmoor step, and if you say no you have to do the Muspel step.

#15: Go north-east from Glenlock faste and look for the cold stone between the stones on the ground. (Not the original wording but my translation, I'm afraid).
The frost spectre spawned between some rocks at 28.3k 4k in Jamtland Mountains.

#16: Take the stone back to Alfgeirr who will make a Cold Stone Bowl

#17: Take the bowl to Besje in Huginfell. You will get a Herbalists' Hauberk of Ivy, 3g, and 784 mil xp. Hauberk -- chain af98 100% qua 30% bon +7 str/con +20% body

#18: Take the bowl to Goi in Mularn

#19: Find Balle in Uppland ( loc 38k 51k ). He is just W of wyverns young on
N side of road to Fens. )(New Frontiers loc=6045, 31419 Upplands info: It is
south of the westernmost relic gate (west side of river). There is a hard
to miss ruined wooden fortress/tower with frost spectres (yellow/orange at
49). SW of that is Balle's house with him inside.)Complete the Balle's Potion quest that is given by
him. Link is to the left then return here.

#20: Head to Myrkwood and find Grumblebelly around Galplen ( 38k 19.5k ) and
then hand the poison to Kullervo's Guardian. Kullervo will transform to a
naked Norse that you must kill.

#21: Say "Dark magic" to Grumblebelly to make Errick appear. Then say "dark
magic" to Errick. you need to right click on Grumblebelly after you have killed Kullervo in order to get Errick to spawn.

#22: Return to Idona in Fort Veldon and say "Errick lives"

#23: Head to Skona Ravine and find Yver (loc=20.2k x 13.2k)

At step 12 (or 11) (i think) goi may send you to kill Morgi Surtsson in Muspelheim for some fire giant blood. He and his guards spawn 1 by 1 at 30k,50k beside the dwavern town, and it appears you have to walk east towards the fire giant castle past 33k,53k to make each one pop.

Guards con blue/green at 50 Morgi conned yellow

After returning to goi with the fire giant blood she sends me off to do the
bowl quest as normal

(extra steps possibly something to do with an answer you give Idona in ft
veldon - couldnt tell as graphics were bugged)

Hope this saves other sbs from running around forever like I had to.

Balle is found in NF at 6045, 31419 Upplands. In a round house that you would see Bloodfleg or Fenris wolves in.

After giving the pieces of the stonebowl to Alfgeirr, he ask if you are a brave, adventurous man, etc.... if you say yes you have to do the nottmoor step, and if you say no you have to do the Muspel step.
Surt and pets

Just as a heads up, if you're a pet caster, your pet/pets might not be able to intercept the guards and Surt for the Muspelheim step. Just be sure to rest up between, and kite like crazy. =)

the quest can be done solo by a 49er skalde, untill u get the subquest: balles potion.
3rd piece to get for this potion is in vanern swamp. lots of ora spiders and ora, red, purple Joten. the orms are yellow and ora.
better u wait as long as u can pull a solo orm...that happend when i failed doing solo and was back with friends. just we reached...i could pull one solo :(((

average quest....very long. herbalists hauberk isnt as good as the quest takes time...

this quest gave me an af 102 helm 100% quality.. very nice although long took me about 7 hrs total but it was worth it just for that helm, also dished out about 2.5 billion exp wich helped me get into 49 quite well.. i soloed this with my cave shammy with ease... also gives a nice cloak and an af 100 vest all 100 quality..
the storyline behind it is also very enjoyable.. i recomend this if u have a day to do some questing...
worth doing

Great quest, has the best plot of any, imo. Some of us enjoy quests for the sake of the story, not just the goodies. One point though - if you're a shaman soloing this quest best to aoe root all the svartalf in the island well house in mularn. Gunflor did BAF even though I pulled him with a bolt.

Yver can be found at the Revines ...
There are 3 of them at Skona. Go to the Ravine at the northest Side of this Zone.
Go down to the bottom and follow her. Then will you find Yver. But beware !!! My evil Yver was ora/red for Lv49. Take the chance and bring an friend who can help you :-)

This was one of the most enjoyable quests I have ever been on. I was able to solo the entire quest, and I am a lvl 50 Shadowblade who is badly in need of a respec. My steps were not the same as listed here, but the walkthrough is close enough that it was a great help. If you want a good quest for some fun, find the "Dark PLaces of the Soul"

The Quest Ring is good, but the rest is bad. And the Exp ist low für 5 hours. Make this Quest only until you get the Ring and Cloak and let the rest unsolved
