- Gullveig: "I feel you approaching—but you're too late."
- Gullveig: "We've had the dead searching for the shards of Wuuthrad. And we found one."
Once you get to the docks, you will briefly see Gullveig giving commands to Garmar before teleporting away:
- Gullveig: "Prove your value to us, Anchorite Garmar."
Those She DevoursEdit
At Lost Prospect Mine, you'll encounter Gullveig in the middle of the ritual trying to turn herself into a Lich into using the souls of those were killed by the Worm Cult. She will send waves of zombies to stop you from interfering the ritual. As of Update 42, she currently says:
- Gullveig: "Fool! Every blow brings me closer to my desire!"
- Gullveig: "Souls! Is there anything more delicious?"
In previous updates, she used to say:
- Gullveig: "With every death, I grow stronger. Kill more!"
- Gullveig: "Their souls feed me!"
When you get to the third wave of zombies:
- Gullveig: "You're too late! The ritual is complete!"
After you defeat her wave of zombies, she will transform into a lich:
- Gullveig: "At last, my transformation is complete! Now you die, you all die!"
NotesEdit
- "Gullveig" is the name of a witch from Norse legends, whose name means "greed" or "gold-lust". She repeatedly comes into conflict with Odin: Odin can strike her down, again and again, but she gets up every time, apparently unharmed. The moral of the story is that greed is not so easily eradicated from the world, or from mortal hearts (and, as the tale of the Ring of the Nibelungs will attest, is more than capable of ruining giants, gods and dwarves alike, as well as men).
