What to do
Geirrvif at Valhalas has challenged you to defeat Thane Banahogg, the Deathblow.
Should you succeed, speak with Gjonner the Merciless overlooking the southern lip of Valhalas.
Objective by objective
- Kill or interact with Thane Banahogg NPC #31277
The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
Your skills have not gone unnoticed by the vrykul of Jotunheim, <name>. Thane Banahogg has taken a personal interest in you and has insisted that he be your next match.
If you thought Carnage was bad, then you might want to go home now. Thane Banahogg's nickname is The Deathblow. I think you can guess how he earned it.
Do you accept the thane's challenge?
Completion
I don't know what trickery it was that you used to bring down the thane -- I couldn't see it from this angle -- but I can assure you that you will not survive your next match.
Yes, I know who it is. Run, little <race>. Flee to the far corners of the world.
Or stay and die. It matters little to me.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Icecrown), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
