How do I free the Druid Grove?
  • 1 of 11: This is actually a fairly straight-forward quest.
  • 2 of 11: Once in Trademeet, just talk to the mayor.
  • 3 of 11: Once you've talked to him, go downstairs and free Cernd, and let him join if you have room.
  • 4 of 11: Then leave Trademeet, and go to the Druid Grove now on your map.
  • 5 of 11: Once there, make your way north, through the various winding paths.  You'll probably meet bunches of druids and trolls.
  • 6 of 11: Eventually, you'll run into a large group of druids, the leader of which gives you a nice long-winded speech, and then attacks.
  • 7 of 11: Kill him, obviously, then continue east through the rocks.
  • 8 of 11: Cross the bridge, and go north as far as you can and then west until you meet up with Cernd.
  • 9 of 11: Tell him you're going to free the grove, and you'll be transported there.
  • 10 of 11: Here, I strongly suggest letting Cernd do all the work -- he'll kill evil dark druid lady 100% of the time.
  • 11 of 11: Once the battle is over, you're given the grove if you're a druid.
