In the Acts of Kindness quest, you need to prove yourself to the Keepers so they will let you into the All-Mother’s Temple. It all starts when you meet Mabyn and fight her. Vrann will ask for your opinion, and you will get three good options to choose from. In this guide, we will explain each of those gift ideas in simple steps, what you need to collect, and what rewards you will get.
Acts of Kindness Quest
The Acts of Kindness quest begins when you speak to Mabyn. To find Mabyn, go to the northeast of the map and use the fast travel point called All-Mother’s Temple. Mabyn will challenge you to a fight; focus on parrying her attacks. She is not too tough if you are around level 10.
Talk to Vrann
After you beat Mabyn, speak to Vrann. To find him, look for a triangular house nearby. When you tell her that you want to enter the temple, she will offer you a drinking potion to earn trust. If you want, you can choose Vrann’s idea, but she wants to offer the Keepers a necklace made from bandits’ ears, which is not at all a good idea.
She gives you all the items needed, but this choice leads to a bad outcome. The Keepers get angry, you miss out on extra rewards, and you only get 500 XP from Fearghas and 1000 XP when you return to Vrann. So, not really worth it.
If you want a better ending, refuse the ear necklace idea. Choose the dialogue option that says something like: “Gifting body parts won’t go well.” This is a skill check, but even with 0 points, it usually succeeds.
What Gift To Choose in Acts of Kindness Quest
Vrann will then ask for your suggestion. You will get three better ideas to choose from:
1. Gift: Weak Mathair’s Battlerage Potion
Tell: “I think that potion would be a perfect gift.”
You must gather three iron teeth, one moonshine, and five wolfsbane in order to brew the potion. Vrann will offer you the recipe for Weak Mathair’s Battlerage once you give her these items. Fearghas will offer you a barrel of fish to bring back to Vrann if you bring him the completed potion. You will also receive 500 XP for doing this. Vrann will reward you with the temple key and an additional 1000 XP when you bring her the fish. For 60 seconds, the potion lowers the damage you absorb by 15%.
2. Gift: Ulfr Ceremonial Axe
Tell: “You should put more faith in Ugh’we.”
Inform Ugh’we that One-Eye has given Vrann the command to have him construct an axe for the Keepers. After that, he will give you a recipe that requires five bear claws, eight wood, and twelve iron ore. In addition to gathering wood from the fort’s internal chopping block, you can mine iron and kill bears for their claws on the east side of the map, particularly close to the Ruined Broch fast travel point.
After you have assembled everything and made the axe, return it to Ugh’we so he may complete it. Give the axe to Fearghas, and after that, he will accept Vrann’s gift, and as a reward, you will get 500 XP. Return to Vrann after that, and she will give you the temple key and an additional 1000 XP. The axe takes 12 Strength to use and increases critical damage by 100%.
3. Gift: Theud Protection Charm
Tell: “What about Therrov?”
Tell Therrov that he has been asked by Vrann to make a gift and explain to him that One-Eye has placed the order. He will offer you a recipe that requires one wood, one bone, and two linen fibres. Linen Fibre is located close by, and you may obtain the wood from the fort’s chopping block. To obtain the bone, go to the cemetery to the north of the fort and take one from an enemy skeleton.
Bring the charm to Fearghas after you’ve finished crafting it. He will threaten to take you into custody. However, it doesn’t actually lead to anything. Simply return to Vrann and speak with her. She will give you the temple key and 1000 experience points.
