If you have what it takes to do this quest, let’s move on.

The Hammer of Volendrung

– To initiate this quest, find the settlement of the Orcs in Largashbur, southwest of Riften.
– When you’re close to the settlement, you’ll see the Orcs fighting a Giant. You can either watch or help them kill it.

– Once the Giant is dead, talk to the Orc in a Hooded attire named Atub.
– By talking to Atub, you’ll learn that the settlement’s leader is cursed, thus making the settlement weak allowing the Giants to keep on attacking them.
– There’s a way to lift the curse and that’s to talk to Malacath.
– In order to talk to Malacath, you will need to have a Troll Fat (You can get these from the Frozen Trolls to the north) and a Daedra Heart (You can get these from doing the Azura’s Daedric Quest).

– Once you have the two items, follow Atub and meet the leader.
– Atub will then lead you to the altar and talk to Malacath.
– In order to lift the curse, Malacath will ask you and the Yamarz, the leader of the settlement, to get the Hammer from his shrine in Fallowstone Cave.

– Now follow the marker on your map that will lead you to Fallowstone.
– If you haven’t discovered the area yet, prepare to do a long walk where you will have to fight bandits and bears along the way.

– At the end of the cave, you’ll face a Giant.
– Before you approach the giant, Yamarz will ask you to kill it for him. Don’t AGREE! Let him kill it and watch him die.
– Now, go kill the Giant.

– At the end, go take the hammer from the giant.
– Don’t forget to get the chest in the shrine of Malacath for some nice loot.

– Take back the hammer to Malacath in Largashbur.
– Tell them the fate of Yamarz
– The quest will end after giving Malacath the Hammer.
– Receive the Volendrung from Malacath
