Walkthrough
Reaching Grimnir
Travel west of Hernand Castle to a hill near a tall tower. Grimnir is an NPC wearing a Visione helmet, which is unusual for the region. The fastest way to reach the location is to open the sky map (R3) and fast travel to the Abyss marker, then skydive down toward the quest marker.
Time of Day
Grimnir only appears during daytime. If you arrive at night and see a prompt to wait, hold the Options button and select the bottom icon on the right side of the menu to advance time automatically.
Speaking with Grimnir
Approach Grimnir and speak to him. He is standing near his broken kiln and is visibly frustrated. Despite wearing a Visione and having obvious skill as a craftsman, he acts dismissive when Kliff questions him. He secretly wants help repairing the kilns, though he will not admit it directly. After the conversation, the quest completes.
Lore Notes
The Kilnden Workshop is operated by dwarves who craft special pots using kilns forged with ancient techniques. Grimnir restored an ancient kuku pot from nothing more than a memory fragment, demonstrating his abilities as an artisan. His workshop falls under the Scholastone Institute's broader network of facilities in the Hernand region.
Tips
This quest has no combat. It is purely a dialogue encounter.
If Grimnir does not appear at the location, make sure it is daytime. Use the time-skip mechanic from the Options menu.
The skydive from the Abyss fast travel point is the fastest way to reach the workshop. You can also ride a horse from Hernand Castle, but the mountain path is slower.
