How do I clear the keep out?
  • 1 of 6: Sweep through it and leave nothing alive!
  • 2 of 6: Your main goal for Jarl Bjarni's quest is to destroy the eight Imp generators that are scattered about.
  • 3 of 6: They're the small holes in the wall that contain a ladder and flames.
  • 4 of 6: To destroy a generator, keep killing the Imps that appear until the flames go out.
  • 5 of 6: When you destroy the last generator, you should hear a "ping" sound. Check your quest list, and the description of this quest should now say that all the Imp generators are destroyed.
  • 6 of 6: Leave the keep and go report success to Bjarni Thorvaldssen in Sturmford City to get a reward and complete his quest to clear out the keep.
