Objectives[edit]
- Hunt Drakkar.
- Check in with Rytlock and Crecia.

Walkthrough[edit]
The third objective can be completed by a combination of destroying small Jormag idols, completing Stop the Svanir ceremony events, and by completing the Champion of the Ice Dragon meta event chain. Small idols only give a little bit of progress, while defeating Drakkar or stopping a ceremony gives roughly 50% completion.

Dialogue[edit]
Open World[edit]
- <Character name>: Rytlock, Crecia, where are we on Bangar?
- Crecia Stoneglow: Close. Tracks are fresher here. The snow hasn't filled them in yet.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Just focus on Drakkar. If you don't stop those whispers, Ryland—
- Crecia Stoneglow: Enough, Brimstone! Bangar should be our focus. The future of the charr should be our focus.
- Rytlock Brimstone: Signal's pretty bad in these mountains. Might lose you for a bit, Commander. Talk later.
- Cloudseeker: I don't understand. You asked them for their power?
- Braham Eirsson: It was a little more complicated than that.
- Cloudseeker: Then you may actually have a chance against Drakkar.
- <Character name>: Let's not waste it. What do you think, Jhavi? Braham and I could join you on your next attack.
- Cloudseeker: Drakkar draws strength from its master. These mountains are filled with Jormag's profane idols.
- Braham Eirsson: So even if I hit it with the Spirits' power, Drakkar will just heal again when it gets near one.
- Cloudseeker: Yes. And it moves through solid ice like water. You must cut it off from the idols and lure it into the open.
- Braham Eirsson: I'm no expert on magic or anything, but couldn't we just smash the Jormag idols?
- Cloudseeker: Smash them. Yes. Yes! While Jhavi leads another attack. Pushes Drakkar away from the lake.
- Cloudseeker: There is a cavern to the south I can recommend. Less ice. More rock. You could trap it there.
- <Character name>: Understood. We'll go after the idols and keep the pressure on Drakkar.
- <Character name>: When it's weak enough, we corner it under the mountains and finish the job.
- Cloudseeker: Then may Koda...and the Spirits of the Wild guide us to victory. Let us begin.
- When entering a contributing event area for the first time
- Rytlock Brimstone: Commander! (static) Bangar and Ryland—(static)—straight to—(static)!
- <Character name>: Rytlock? Crecia? Can you hear me? I'm losing you!
- Defeating Drakkar
- Jhavi Jorasdottir: That was a legendary hunt. Thank you, all of you.
- If bar isn't filled:
- Jhavi Jorasdottir: It's on the run. Good. All you need to do now is smash those idols of Jormag on the surface.
- Jhavi Jorasdottir: We'll cut it off from its master's power—enough to force it from the lake into the mountains. Good hunting.
- If bar is filled:
- Jhavi Jorasdottir: It's on the run now. Cloudseeker and I will handle things up there—you should head to the cave. Good luck.
- Upon filling the bar
- Crecia Stoneglow: Commander! Come in!
- <Character name>: Crecia, what's going on? Did Rytlock call earlier?
- Rytlock Brimstone: Sure as hell tried. Bangar and Ryland split off from the army. They're going straight for Drakkar!
- Rytlock Brimstone: They get too close, they're gonna get turned.
- Crecia Stoneglow: We don't know that.
- Rytlock Brimstone: We have to stop them or they're gonna die! I'm done pretending Bangar's got a plan.
- Rytlock Brimstone: We don't act now, we're gonna lose them. I am done losing things, Cre.
- Crecia Stoneglow: Commander, at least tell me you've got a strategy to kill this thing.
- <Character name>: We're cornering Drakkar in a cave south of the lake. Let's try to finish it off before Bangar shows up.
- Crecia Stoneglow: We'll meet you inside.
