Walkthrough

Renth McLanis may be found in McDaniels Smokes & Spirits at +370, -280 (he is a Warrior Guildmaster).

You say, 'Hail, Renth McLanis'

Renth McLanis says, 'Hail, _______! Have ye come to train? I train all warriors. All Wolves o' the North must be strong warriors and swift as well. Are ye a young wolf, then? If so, maybe ye can [assist Renth] with his wee problem, eh?'

You say, 'I will assist you.'

Renth McLanis says, 'I was ordered by Kylan O'Danos to personally escort a young warrior sent to fetch the remains of his cousin, Ivan McMannus. I forgot and spent me greater time testing out the fine spirits. Now I must find the courier and the remains. Will ye [search for the courier]?'

You say, 'I will search for the courier.'

Renth McLanis says, 'Thank ye, _______! Go to Everfrost Peaks and seek out Arnis McLish. Ask him where Megan, the courier, is. Once ye find Megan, would you ask her where Ivan's remains are? Please go, at once!'

Search for Arnis McLish in Everfrost Peaks near the entrance ramp to Blackburrow at -1595, -175. He will run eastward to the tree at -1090, -960, attacking monsters along the way.

You say, 'Hail, Arnis McLish'

Arnis McLish says, 'My word!! I cannot believe how cold it is out here. I must keep running around just to keep warm.'

You say, 'Where is Megan?'

Arnis McLish says, 'I heard she got lost on the plains. You should ask her dog, Snowflake, where she is. I hear he is somewhere around the pass to Halas.'

Snowflake may be found at +2020, -1160, near Bryndin McMill and Lish McMarrin.

You say, 'Hail, Snowflake'

Snowflake says, 'Grrrrrr!!'

You say, 'Where is Megan?'

Snowflake says, 'Ruff.. Ruff.. Woof..'

Follow Snowflake east until he stops at the pillars of the tower at (+2045, +3835). Regardless of whether Megan is there or not, he will slowly walk back to the tree by Bryndin McMill. You can make him return to Megan's tower during the return trip by asking asking him again "Where is Megan?"

Megan OReilly stands outside the tower to the right of the pillars at (+2060, -3870) and will frequently walk to the bank of the frozen river at (+2025, -4240). Wandering orcs will sometimes attack her, so you might have to wait for her.

You say, 'Hail, Megan OReilly'

Megan OReilly says, 'Brrrr.. It.. Is sooo.. c-cold!! I never.. sh-should've j-joined.. the.. the W-wolves of the N-north!!'

You say, 'Where are Ivan's remains?'

Megan OReilly says, 'You were sent to retrieve the remains? I am sorry, I lost them. It was not my fault! There was no escort as I was told. I got lost returning to Halas and ended up on a frozen river. The ice broke and the remains were scattered into the freezing water. Will you [dive for the remains]?'

You say, 'I will dive for the remains.'

Megan OReilly says, 'Thank the Tribunal!! I would have, but I cannot swim. Take this chest. Fill it with the four pieces which fell below the surface. I know not what else lies within. When you fill the box and combine the items, return it to Renth. Good luck, _______.'

You receive a 4-slot Empty Box, which identifies as Box For Ivan's Remains.

Southeast of Megan's tower, there is a hole in the frozen river at +1375, -4585; grab an Enduring Breath from someone and go diving. Under the ice are various goblins ("goblin diver" and "ice goblin diver") who are KoS. Three of the pieces of the remains are ground spawns found on the river bottom and look like bags.

• Barbarian Femur: +1405, -4570, -190
• Barbarian Jaw: +1465, -4500, -230
• Barbarian Skull: +1580, -4485, -245

The final item, Barbarian Rib, is dropped by a "goblin diver". There are two spawns between the Femur, and the Skull, and one more spawn slightly north of the Skull. The monsters that can spawn in these spots are: ice goblin scout, ice goblin diver, and a rare goblin diver. Kill the placeholders until the goblin diver spawns and kill it for the final item, a Barbarian Rib.

Some tips to accomplish this:

• You don't actually need to have enduring breath. If you simply swim straight up, and continue to do so, after a couple seconds your breath will refill
• All of the ice goblins flee when at low health. Unless you have a swimming skill of 100, or a high level speed buff, you will never catch them. Instead, fight them on the surface of the ice and you will not regret it

Combine the four items in the box to craft a Box of Remains Item Lore (from Identify): Box of Ivan's Remains. Head back to Halas and give Renth the Box of Remains.

Renth McLanis says, 'Good work!! Kylan will never know o' me negligence. I owe ye one, young warrior. Let's call it even with this. Twas found by one of our foraging parties. It is still useful. And... I believe ye can assist with a more [dangerous matter] as well.'

• Your faction standing with Wolves of the North got better.
• Your faction standing with Shamen of Justice got better.
• Your faction standing with Merchants of Halas got better.
• Your faction standing with Steel Warriors got better.

You gain experience!!

You receive 1 copper from Renth McLanis.

You receive a random minor item.

The more "dangerous matter" is the quest for the Langseax.
