In this quest you will want to start off by following the path that leads Northeast when you do spiders will attack, you will want to concentrate on the smaller spiders first since they act as the stereotypical swarming creatures in video games. Save your power attacks for the bigger bugs that are a little slower. Later on you will encounter the entrance to the Mournweld.

Some beasts and a pack of wolves will guard the entrance. The wolves will attack with speed but the bigger monster is rather slow, break them up and take them on separately and they should pose no problem.

Next the barricade will open and you will be allowed to pass after a short cutscene. Then you will face monsters that hurl long range attacks that affect a large area. You can use your own ranged weapons to kill them and be sure to move out of the glowing blue areas. Every so often some attackers will come out of the water and they rely on melee attacks, when they come up on you stun them and use the old ally buffer to take care of them.

Once you reach the end of the road you will discover a grove, there is a body in the center. When you search him you will find the Montbarron RIng. Next search the edges in the shadows of the glade where two bodies will provide some loot. Once the Radiant Youth appears agree to never return and allow him to transport you out ending this quest.
