Duel at the Bloody Knoll

A mortal wound to Chief Ogzor has thrown Shatul clan into crisis.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Kill Urgkail the Cleaver with Laurig.
2. Find a Snow Truffle with Ulghesh.
3. Decide who to support for chief.

Notes

• Chief Ogzor is the dying chief of Clan Shatul. His skull was smashed in by the giant, Urgkail the Cleaver, and there is nothing you can do to save his life. His death catalyzes the events of this quest. He is being tended to by his mother Yazara, as well as his hunt-wife Glagosh. His hearth-wife, Rogzesh, mourns nearby. He is also the father to an exiled daughter that he made sure no one in the clan would mention.
• The trophy mentioned being taken from Urkgail the Cleaver isn't present when looting him or in your quest items after the fight.
• Scamper has no nameplate.
• Despite being given a physical whistle to use (as seen in the quest items), your character uses the finger whistle animation instead.
• You can choose to tell Yazara that Ushruka is really the contender, or lie and continue the pretense that it is Ulghesh.
• Regardless of whether you tell Yazara the truth or not you will be asked to choose the winner by replacing one contender's blade with a flawed one.
• If you are an Orc, you can become chief yourself by telling Yazara that you want to contend and then killing the winner of the duel. (dialogues differ depending on you being male or female) The quest marker directs you to follow the victor out through the front doors of the Bloody Knoll, but the victor remains inside the knoll through a door in a hallway to the right of the main room.
• The choice you make will not adversely affect future events. Either chief will attend the King's moot - Ushruka is already a firm supporter of King Kurog, whereas Laurig is open to new ideas and is willing to listen.
• While Yazara warns that Shatul Orcs that catch you inside the Bloody Knoll will be honor bound to attack you, no Orcs other than the contenders dueling each other are found inside later on so this doesn't come into play.

Bugs

• Ulghesh has the follower icon during the objective to wake up Scamper and find a snow truffle, despite not being one then. ^?
  • Ulghesh only becomes an actual follower after having acquired the snow truffle, at which point Scamper leaves.
• Leaving Shatul Range while Ulghesh is your follower won't result in him returning to your side upon coming back. He will only appear again upon completing the current objective and returning to the camp. ^?

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
