BP 3) Get the 3rd and final ingredient on the list - Enslaved Orm's Tears from a large enslaved orm (note - killing a runner will not give you what you need). Head N along the lake keeping the shore on your right. After you pass the island w/the playground on it (you zerks that have done your epic are familiar w/this hehe), head NE across the lake. The loc is about 50k, 14k in Vanern. They conned yellow, however there are jotun's around the area that con orange so be careful.



I am on the third mob on Balles potion part of Dark places of the soul. I am supposed to find a Large enslaved orm.

I spent 50 minutes at the loc above 50k, 14k looking for one.

The result= One "runner" (note - killing a runner will not give you what you need)

So I gave up, and wandered further along the zonewall in hope of finding one. I discovered a new place, jotuns and alot more Runners which was "tailed" to the Jotuns. So far no "Large enslaved orm" only "Runners".
This Jotun camp was at approx loc 26k, 25k and the named Jotun Mokkurvalve roamed there. I asked some friends for help and they told me that I found the right camp. Someone also told me that the "non-runners" followed him around. I took a look and Mokurvalve had no followers what so ever. How ever I roamed another 50 minutes at this spot in hope of finding a "Large enslaved orm" but nothing.

So, after a little more then two hours spent I hadnt found a #¤%"

I came to the point where I concidered to either delete my char or destroy my comp, kill someone, flame the world, flame the albs for zerging etc.

I choosed alternative nr#2

I calmed down after destroying my keyboard (had a spare one which I am writing on atm) and decided to turn to you fine adventurers for help.


That is my story, all hints, tips and tricks are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Same problem

I spent ages looking for this, the best spot is near the hut with the freindly NPC, forgot the loc but there are definately some in that general area, usually paired with a jotun. Will try to dig up a loc later

NE corner of Vanern, find the 2 buildings by the 2 lakes, in the building is one of the SB epic Npcs (Conchabar). You'll find runners and the type of orm youre after in that general area, just have a good scout about. But take a friend cos the Jotun add can be a pain in the ass for a solo.

This was hard for me :) too, I actually killed mine at 55k 14k, the same place where you are looking, I managed to solo it with IP and Buffs. The Large enslaved orm was orange con and its Jotun master was a red con.

The hut with friendly NPC is at 56k, 11k (the opposite side of the lake from 55k 14k) btw... but beware some nasty mobs pop there and I don't mean the spiders or worms either!

Best to get a skald with ya and run around a bit :)

i spent most of yesterday looking for one as well, finally i got bored and started killing the orange Jotun's for XP. About 5mins later after i'd cleared a few some orms popped. So it looks like their spawns might be linked, but i can't be certain of it. Might have just been a lucky coincidence but i had spent most of the morning running arround trying to find one with no luck so you never know i guess.

A huge thank you Archeon.


By following your advice I completed the step.
