The Malacath Shrine will task you with rescuing the ogre slaves from Lord Drad. To locate Lord Drad, head southeast of the shrine. After a short distance, you will arrive at the wooden door entrance to Lord Drad’s estate. Enter inside, and you will find Lord Drad on the first floor. Talk to him, and it will open a dialogue option with the following choices:
- No creature should be a slave
- I admire your efforts
Choose the second option to get the location of the ogres: Bleak Mine. Before heading there, collect the key to the mine from a table near the dining area on the ground floor. Now, head straight from the entrance towards the mine.
After a short distance, you will reach the mine’s door. Enter and defeat two guards near the entrance. Continue down the path, eliminating the approaching guards, and search their corpses to collect the cage keys. Soon, you will arrive in front of a cage with ogres locked inside it. Use the keys to unlock it and free them. Afterward, return to the shrine to complete the quest and collect Volendrung as a reward.
