Help Yrsa the Troll.
  • 1 of 5: You get this quest when you first talk to Yrsa.
  • 2 of 5: You need to kill all those annoying Dragonflies that she tells you about.
  • 3 of 5: Go through the little tunnel that's just east of Yrsa's house to get to their area.
  • 4 of 5: Use retreat-and-fire tactics, ducking in and out of the tunnel, to deal with the swarm. Also, retreat to the healing well next to Yrsa's hut if necessary.
  • 5 of 5: After taking them all down, the quest will be fulfilled. Return to Yrsa to get another one.
