This quest begins immediately following The War Chief’s Trail. First things first, head north to Red Echoes. Once you arrive at the camp, save at the fire to start a cutscene. Next, you’ll be tasked with taking out three enemy camps. Stealth will be your ally here, so make sure to stay quiet and take enemies out individually. Additionally, destroying their alarm can help the assault as well.

After finally taking down all the camps, head east to the tallest tower. Once you arrive, talk to Sona. After the cutscene, follow Varl. There are a few resource chests in the camp if you need to stock up from all of the hunting you just had to do. After following Varl for a while, you’ll have to talk to him, prompting a cutscene.

Now you’ll be in the metal ring above all the enemies. Search around the area to get a view of the blaze you’re going to use to destroy them. Follow Varl and take out the enemies along the way as quietly as you can. After two groups of enemies, a cutscene will play and you’ll be on your own. Your path is up to you, but you need to sneak around the camp to get a shot on the blaze. I recommend going through the trench next to the swamp and then sneaking up the hill.

Use the patches of tall grass to hide you as you sneak up. Once you’re ready to tak ethe shot, equip your fire arrows and let them fly. A brief cutscene will play and then you’ll be in the midst of a huge battle. Take out the watchers as quickly as possible and then focus on the bellowback, picking off cultists as they get in your way. Winning the battle will complete the quest, congrats! You’re avenged the fallen Nora warriors!
