[edit] Walkthrough
Get the Norn Hunting Party from Olgana Beartamer then head north through the pass. Work your way west along the edge of the lake then proceed north to clear out the caves, the lake, and islands. Once you have done this, Dazehl Brainfreezer will spawn on the western edge of the lake (ready for if you hit Boss Bounty). Head to the southwest of Olafstead and eradicate the Berserking Minotaurs, Aurochs and Wendigos. Work your way along the western edge of the region towards Verdant Cascades, kill the Jotuns in the cave and continue to work east on the southern edge towards the unfrozen lake. Do your best to avoid Asterius the Mighty, the boss that patrols the center of the southwest region. Instead, try to pull mobs away to the edges.
At the lake southeast of Olafstead, clear the western shores till you get to the northern edge, turn around and clear the southern shores all the way to the edge of the region. Then clean up the eastern shore. At this point head into the eastern hills. Try luring the monsters here as they patrol and sometimes overlap.
When you come out of the hills you will be in an enclosed clearing where you will see a ring of monsters surrounding a group of allies. Don't aggro these yet. Instead work your way around eradicating the Shock Phantoms that will pop up around you. Once this is clear, carefully pull the mobs from the circle. When they are dead the allies will become hostile and you can start to kill them. Warning: this group can be tough to kill. Once done, work your way north and finally east completing the run with approximately 425 kills and 3000-4000 points.

[edit] Notes
- Don't collect additional shrine blessings until you have reached 150+ kills (the optimum points)
- For Bosses do one of the following:
- Leave the Bosses alone till you get 250 kills+ (you will get 300 reputation per kill).
- Rush for a Boss if someone triggers Boss Bounty, but only worthwhile if you have made 100+ kills.
- Wait for 250+ kills and the follow Boss Bounties that way you get +500 (+200 from Boss Bounty, +300 from kill bonus).
- If you can, try to have Hunt Rampage active when killing the six facets. This will double the bonus from killing them, netting you up to 600 points per kill (a total of 3,600 points).
- It is possible to gain approximately 6,000 points for a single run.
- If anyone has Hunt Rampage, it's generally not worthwhile to go after Dazehl Brainfreezer until after the facets have been defeated, as there is a considerable risk of losing Hunt Rampage after the fight.
- Optionally the quest Haunted can be used (in addition to The Path to Revelations). It adds an additional boss, Tanto the Grim, for additional reputation points.
- It may be more productive to simply fill up Hero's Handbooks and Master Dungeon Guides.
[edit] Walkthrough
Do the same as the previous walkthrough except when you get near the darkened hill that normally has undead on it skirt round it and clear up the northern section. This allows you to continue any rampage bonuses people may have. Then come back for the Bosses, you will get +300 per kill (totaling 1,800). Once done do not speak to Kerrsh unless you have no interest in doing this run again. Instead, abandon the quest and head to Tarnished Haven where you can get it again.
