3. Kill the Stone Behemoth.
4. Kill Arkasis the Mad Alchemist.

   You can only complete the Death Challenge in Veteran Mode.

Detailed Walkthrough

Speak to Urgarlag Chief-bane to get the details of this quest.

"The Stone Garden. A derelict Dwemer ruin buried deep underground. Rumor has it that it's now the laboratory of a deranged alchemist who's dipped into his stock one too many times. Find it and smash whatever madness he's up to."

And if I can handle more than that?

"Then plant the Undaunted banner in Arkasis's laboratory before you wreck the place, so the smug bastard knows just who bested him before he dies.
That ought to get his temper boiling."

I pledge to seek out the Stone Garden and return Undaunted.

Once you have accepted the quest, you can enter the Stone Garden dungeon either by accessing the dungeon through the Dungeon Finder, or heading to Blackreach: Greymoor Caverns and entering the dungeon there with a group. You have the choice of entering the normal dungeon or the veteran version, this choice will affect if you can achieve the optional step and your rewards.

When inside the dungeon, you will need to progress through the dungeon, slaying the following bosses, Exarch Kraglen, the Stone Behemoth and Arkasis the Mad Alchemist. With the last boss, if you are in the veteran dungeon, you have the option of raising the challenge banner to put the boss in hard mode.

Once you have completed the task, you can return to Urgarlag Chief-bane at any of the Undaunted Enclaves, and speak with her to complete the quest:

I assaulted the Stone Garden and ended the madness within.

"Then I hope you did more than bash rocks, but I guess so long as the rocks were trying to kill you it'll do."

I'll take my reward either way. / What's my reward for conquering Stone Garden?

Condition	Dialogue
Normal mode completed	"Arkasis had been terrorizing the western holds of Skyrim for years with his crazy experiments. Half the kingdom couldn't kill him, but you managed it. That's worth something. Here's your keep."
Veteran mode completed	"I heard the mad bastard in charge of that place experimented on himself whenever he couldn't kidnap his test subjects. Not just anyone has the guts to face down that kind of crazy, let alone beat it. Take this for proving we're craziest of all."
Veteran Hard Mode completed	"There's nothing I love more than taking some uppity smart-guy down a peg or six. If he wasn't crazy before you beat him, he had to have been raving mad after losing to a bunch of meat-headed misfits like the Undaunted, eh? You do us proud."

Notes

• Prior to Update 41, completing this quest with Normal or Veteran mode would award 1 Undaunted Key, and 2 Keys on Veteran Hard Mode.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game 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.
