Check back in with Beora few days after giving him his new heart. He’ll be glad to see you and seem a little softer in disposition. He’ll ask you tohelp him make a warhammerfor someone near and dear to him, as he’s not the adventuring type andtrusts you to get the materialsfor him.
Where To Get Black Alder
The first material is the wood, which can befound in the swampsto the west of town. Make your way there andfollow the markers on your mapto locate thethree different trees with the best branches.
The swamp is full of monsters, so make sure you come prepared to fight.
Break the branches off the treesand bring them to Beor. He’s grateful you didn’t get hurt in the process, as the swamps are quite dangerous. With the wood in hand, he’s decided on the next material needed for the warhammer.
Where To Get Beor’s Family Iron
Buried in his family plot is a special chunk of iron. Beor asks you toretrieve his family ironand bring it back so he can use it for the warhammer. The plot can befound north of town, near a lake.
Bring a shovel! You’re going to need it.
Despite his parents' bodies not being buried at the site, there areundead lurking around. Dispatch them quickly anddig up the casketcontaining the family iron.Bring it back to Beorto learn about the last material needed for the warhammer.
Where To Get Whispering Crystal
Finally,Beor needs Whispering Crystalsto complete the enchantment on the warhammer. While hedoesn’t care where you get the crystalsfrom, he recommendsvisiting the mines just outside of town. However, they’re closed for a reason.
Make your wayout the southern entrance, then hop down to the shore toslay a handful of Drownersoutside the mines. When you enter, you’llfind several undead and Wyrd monstersinside.
The lift is broken at the top, so you’ll have to make your way through the mines slowly and carefully.
Youonly need three crystals, and a single vein can give you that much. Navigatedeeper into the mines to collect what you need, then leap down onto the lift anduse the leverto rise back to the entrance. Leave the mines andbring the crystals to Beor.
How To Romance Beor
After you give Beor everything,he’ll ask you to waitaround for a little while so he can finish the warhammer. When he’s done,he makes an awkward confessionof his feelings towards you andoffers you the warhammeras a gift.

You can also turn him down in a rather cruel way and still take the hammer, though that’s not the point of this guide.
After telling him you return his feelings, Beor will swear to be a loving partner that waits for you to come home. Hedoesn’t expect you to settle down, but he’d appreciate it if you came to visit now and then. You can alsoshare your adventures with himwhen you do, making the relationship feel all the more wholesome.
