Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Speak to Urgarlag Chief-bane to get the details of this quest.

"Lair of Maarselok. Some foul Dragon's taken up roost between Grahtwood and Elsweyr and he's turning the place into a pit of decay. He's more than the Wood Elves can handle, so how about you show them how the Undaunted handle a pesky Dragon?"
And if I can handle more than that?
"The Dragon's lair is seething with the seeds of its corruption, like some kind of rotten nest. Give'em a swift kick and see if Maarselok comes after you like a swarm of angry hornets. At least Dragons don't sting, right?"
I pledge to seek out the Lair of Maarselok and return Undaunted.

Once you have accepted the quest, you can enter the Lair of Maarselok dungeon either by accessing the dungeon through the Dungeon Finder, or heading to Northern Elsweyr and entering the dungeon there with a group. You have the choice of entering the normal dungeon or the veteran version, this choice will affect if you can achieve the optional step and your rewards.

When inside the dungeon, you will need to progress through the dungeon, slaying the following bosses, Maarselok in three different locations. With the last location, if you are in the veteran dungeon, you have the option of using the Azureblight Seed to put the boss in hard mode.

Once you have completed the task, you can return to Urgarlag Chief-bane at any of the Undaunted Enclaves, and speak with her to complete the quest:

I put an end to Maarselok's corruption with the help of the Changeling, Selene.
"The giant spider-woman? Now that must have been a sight. She catch the Dragon in a huge web and wrap him up as a neat little present for you? Not much of a challenge, if you ask me."
I'll take my reward either way. / What's my reward for killing Maarselok? / What's my reward for defeating Maarselok and Selene? / Actually, Maarselok turned Selene against me. I had to fight them both at the same time.
Condition Dialogue
Normal mode completed "You fulfilled your pledge, even if you had help from a vengeful nature spirit. Can't say I wouldn't enjoy beating a Dragon like a festival effigy given the opportunity. Just give the next one a fighting chance.
Here's your key and cut."
Veteran mode completed "Killing a Dragon's worth bragging about, even with Selene's help. From what I heard it'd already killed an army of Wood Elves before you arrived. They'll be cheering your name all over Grahtwood for slaying that monster."
Veteran Hard Mode completed "Bet you thought you had a nice cozy pledge before the Dragon turned Selene against you. Not just anyone could have faced down Maarselok and the Changeling at the same time. Selene better behave, eh?
Take your reward, Undaunted. You earned it."

Notes[edit]

  • Prior to Update 41, completing this quest with Normal or Veteran mode would award 1 Undaunted Key, and 2 Keys on Veteran Hard Mode.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • 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.
