Detailed Walkthrough

Battle for the fort

Galmar Stone-Fist will order you to join the men preparing to attack Fort Hraggstad. When you reach the staging area, your fellow soldiers will begin to storm the fort.

Your objective updates to eliminate all Imperials and your journal will track the percentage of surviving enemies. Wooden barricades will block the entrance to the fort—these are easily destroyed.

After you have eliminated the Imperials, the quest will end and you will have to return to Galmar for the final assault on Solitude to liberate Skyrim from Empire control.

Notes

• Bodies will usually disappear shortly after they have been killed, so you have a short time to loot them.
• Not all the enemies are present at the start of the mission; more will spawn when certain numbers are killed.
• The Imperial soldiers will occasionally drop one of the Divines' amulets (excluding Talos).
• You will generally see surviving Imperial soldiers, even when your screen indicates they are all dead. It is not necessary to kill these to finish the quest.

Bugs

• Stormcloaks and Imperials do not show at Fort Hraggstad. A similar bug can happen at the other fort quests.
  • Open the console and typing setstage 00083042 10. This should force the Stormcloaks and Imperials to spawn.
  • Walking to the fort from the camp to avoid a load screen also seems to work.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage cwfortsiegefort stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest cwfortsiegefort.
