Tumble Arch Pass is a small giant camp southeast of Korvanjund and south of the Nightgate Inn. As giant camps go, it is a modest affair: one giant, one mammoth, and a cheese collection that would make any dairy farmer jealous. You will probably end up here because someone asked you to, either a jarl with a bounty or a Companion with a family matter.
What you’ll find
- A single giant and his mammoth – no crowd, but still plenty of punch.
- A giant’s club resting on a rock.
- A chest and four pouches holding mammoth cheese.
Quests
- Kill the Giant – a jarl may put a bounty on the camp’s lone giant.
- Family Heirloom – Vilkas may send you here to recover an heirloom.
Notable items
- The giant’s club. You can’t pick it up yourself, but you can tell a follower to take it. It won’t appear in their inventory, yet now and then they may swing the huge thing in battle – which never stops being funny.
- Mammoth cheese in the chest and pouches.
Tips
Giants are dangerous at low levels, so fight from range and keep moving: a bow, destruction spells or a reliable follower will do the heavy lifting while you stay out of club range. Since there’s only one giant here, this is one of the friendlier giant camps for a bounty – just deal with the mammoth first or lure the giant away so you aren’t fighting both at once. Afterwards, harvest Giant’s Toe and Powdered Mammoth Tusk before you leave, and don’t forget the cheese.
