Tracking the Treasure Bug? Greataxe Berserker & Bell Fragments
Checkpoints
Primary checkpoint
Open the active quest list and read the exact name. Tracking the Treasure is not For Whom the Bell Tolls.
For Tracking the Treasure, the kill objective is Greataxe Berserker (standard wording — not Elite).
Queue into Hallowgrove (UI may show Hallowgrove or Hollow Grove — same zone). Use the tactical map / quest marker; there is no single verified fixed spawn pin on this page.
Atmosphere still — not proof of a fixed Greataxe spawn · Game imagery used for editorial context After the kill, re-open the task and confirm the kill checkbox actually completed before you move on.
Go to the designated location and search for bell fragments until that step checks off.
Extract when both kill and search steps are complete so hub follow-ups stay clean.

Two quests, two kill targets
Players often collapse these into one “greataxe quest.” They are not the same objective. This page owns the normal kill and bell fragments. The Elite location, red boss icons, and Dramm turn-in live on For Whom the Bell Tolls.
| This page: Tracking the Treasure | Other page: For Whom the Bell Tolls | |
|---|---|---|
| Active quest name | Tracking the Treasure | For Whom the Bell Tolls |
| Kill wording | Greataxe Berserker (normal — not Elite) | Elite Greataxe Berserker |
| Look for | Match that quest’s kill step / live marker | Golden greataxe + golden threads on secondary red boss markers ≠ central Mistlord |
| After kill | Designated search for bell fragments | Final Bell of Return → extract → Dramm |
| Location rule owned here? | Use the live map / quest marker. No unique fixed pin. | Official Steam reply covers Elite markers — not this quest |
| Credit trouble | Community-reported / unresolved | Community-reported / unresolved. Developer reply covers Elite location, not credit |
Safe loop for Tracking the Treasure: read active quest name → kill matching target → confirm checkbox → search fragments → extract safely.
There is no verified unique fixed spawn point on this page. Use the live map / quest marker and the task text.
Which Greataxe Counts?
Use the authored decision diagram on this page (greataxe-target-decoder). It is an authored guide schematic — not in-game footage. It does not invent appearance differences, drop tables, or fixed coordinates.
Community-reported trouble (unresolved)
Some groups report:
- Killing the “right-looking” target while the wrong quest is tracked.
- Party credit after a shared kill does not match what everyone expected.
Treat party credit as community-reported / unresolved. Retrying with the correct quest tracked is only a suggestion, not a guaranteed fix. Prefer re-reading the active quest name and re-checking completion boxes over assuming the game credited the kill.
The Steam developer reply about secondary boss markers / red boss icons applies to the Elite quest, not Tracking the Treasure. Do not import that location rule — or unanswered solo / one-spawn questions — onto this page.
Quick FAQ
Is Tracking the Treasure the Elite Greataxe Berserker quest?
No. Tracking the Treasure asks for a Greataxe Berserker (normal wording) and then bell fragments. The golden Elite, red secondary boss markers, and final Bell to Dramm belong to For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Where do I search after the kill?
After the kill checkbox completes, go to the designated location and search for bell fragments until that step checks off. Skipping the fragment search is why this quest often looks unfinished.
Do I scan red boss icons / the central Mistlord here?
Not as this quest’s official location rule. That Steam developer reply is about finding the Elite on Hallowgrove secondary boss markers, separate from the central Mistlord. On Tracking the Treasure, use the live map / quest marker for the normal Greataxe and the fragment search site.
Why didn’t my Greataxe kill count?
First confirm you are not on For Whom the Bell Tolls and that the kill checkbox actually completed. Shared-kill / party-credit mismatches are community-reported and unresolved — not a proven mechanic. Retry is only a suggestion.
After you finish Tracking
