Final Wave: Purity

Quest Giver: Farkas

Quest Giver: Vilkas

Talk to Farkas or Vilkas. They are worried that when they pass from this realm, they, too, will share the same fate that befell Kodlak—trapped in a purgatory and desperately avoiding Hircine’s Hunting Grounds. The quest giver wants the curse of lycanthropy to be purged from his spirit and asks for your help in acquiring the necessary ingredients to make this possible.

There are two options at this point: If you have already culled the Glenmoril Coven of all five witches, you should have a spare Witch Head in your inventory. If you don’t, you should journey to the Glenmoril Coven, sever another Witch Head, and return to Farkas’s or Vilkas’s location.

• Glenmoril Witch Head

Only one location has the necessary magic to thwart the power of Hircine, and that is Ysgramor’s Tomb. Follow the route set out in the Companions Quest: Glory of the Dead (with the quest giver as your Shield-Brother) until you reach the chamber with the Flame of the Harbinger.

Quest Conclusion

Place one of the Witch Heads into the flickering blue flame, and then defeat the wolf spirit that leaves the body. Once this combat is over, Farkas or Vilkas is effectively “cured” of lycanthropy. You can also drop a head into the flames and cure yourself. But be warned: Once cured, you lose your Beast Form ability forever.
