[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] The Beast Stone

The Beast Stone is near the east side of the Island, south of the Skaal Village, in the Felsaad Coast area north of Lake Fjalding. If you follow the east bank of Lake Fjalding and continue north you should shortly run into or see the spire of the stone (map). Activate the Beast Stone to be told to travel south and ease the pain of The Good Beast. You may wish to read the story of the rituals for more details on this. The story mentions the beast was a bear wounded by a Falmer's arrow piercing its neck.

The Good Beast.

[edit] Aid the Good Beast

This time the directions are quite sound as directly south, past the lake, you'll see indeed five Rieklings attacking a Snow Bear, The Good Beast. Kill the rieklings and you'll receive a journal message stating that you'll have to remove the arrow. You may have accidently hit the bear and have to use a Calm Creature type spell to stop it from attacking you for a bit. If you don't have a Calm Creature spell, you can just run away until the bear stops chasing you, then return. The Good Beast should then be quite calm. Once that is done you can activate the bear, access it's inventory, and remove the arrow (like a companion). Once the arrow is removed you'll get another journal entry saying you should stay with the bear and try to heal it. You can cast a Restore Health on Touch/Target type spell or scroll, or if you don't have any, simply rest an hour or two.

[edit] Return to the Beast Stone

Once the bear is healed (or after a short time) you'll receive another journal entry stating that the bear is healed and wants to return with you to the Beast Stone. Do so, but keep in mind that the bear is not that fast. Activate the stone when the bear is nearby to complete this portion of the ritual.

[edit] Notes

If the bear dies, you will get a "Quest Failed" message. It will not be possible to complete the Main Quest if this happens.
