The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get this quest?
1 of 5: You'll first have to get your character up to level 9 or higher.
2 of 5: Travel to Largashbur, an orc stronghold that's a ways SW of Riften.
3 of 5: You'll find several orcs fighting a giant near the stronghold's now-open gates. (NOTE: If the gates aren't open, a glitch has happened that'll probably make the quest ungettable, so restore a save and try approaching Largashbur again.)
4 of 5: You can stay back (or run inside the stronghold for cover) and let the orcs kill the giant, but that'll take awhile since Atub is the only orc who can't be killed.
5 of 5: Whether you help kill the giant or not, talk to Atub to get this quest.
