The Dwarven Rune

"Find letters" is a mission objective in the quest Dwarven Allies in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC

Walkthrough[edit]

Rune 1:

Approach Claptrap and talk with him. He will head into Stonecrag Ridge and over to a platform. From it, a pedestal will rise with the first of the Dwarven letters on it. While Claptrap swoons over it, go over to it and grab it. This will trigger the release of at least 4 Rock Golems on the Vault Hunter.

Rune 2:

Head to the South from the pedestal that had the first rune on it. Head on through the archway into Ingot Processing. There you will find Dwarves in great variety (dwarfzerkes, miners, warmongers). Head on through the processing area to the South, ascending and descending the stairs as needed. This will lead to the Cross The Treacherous Chasm you need to jump across.

Rune 3:

Head back onto land and then break off to the North. Keep along the side. Be careful looting as one of the chest near the Dice Chest is a Mimic. Just keep going in that direction after you have dealt with the Mimic. Follow the path as it bends over to the East through Spiders and back to Dwarves. As you approach the narrow point in the path you will be attacked by Dwarves but also an Iron Golem. This thing is nothing but armor so Corrosive-Type damage is the best way to go. This Golem fights just as the others did, with the addition of Laser Eyes. Head into the building that they were all guarding and head over to the Northeast. Once through the buildings you will find yourself in a tunnel. Go over to the left and into the next section of Ingot Processing. You can now either solve the puzzle or punch the puzzle.


Rune 4:

Head to the South, out of Ore Processing then break off to the East when you can. There is a pair of Rock Golems blocking your way forward. Fight on through them and get through the door. Head on forward and drop down to the level below. You will find Greedtooth on the far side of a river of molten lava. You must defeat him then cross the platform that rises out of the molten lava to claim the final letter.


Dialogue[edit]

Rune 1 Dialogue:

Claptrap: "In fact, I found one just the other day! But you can't have this one -- you can find your own!"

Claptrap: "I love this thing."

When the rune is taken:

Claptrap: Heyyyy! Awww.

Tina: "Nice! That looks like the symbol for the letter 'T.' One letter down, three to go!

Greedtooth: "You! The Sorcerer told me about you -- said you'd come for his queen. Well, tough titty! I'm in charge of these mines, and you'll never get the other runes! Never!"


Rune 2 Dialogue:

Tina: "Oh, what's that over there? It's a ruuune, at the end of a bunch of super-sick jumps and stuff."

Mordecai: "A jumping puzzle? Ugh."

After a few failures: Lilith: "I'm pretty sure this jump is impossible."

Tina: "Fiiiine, my bad. I'll make it doable.

After even more failures:

Mordecai: "This sucks. I hate jumping puzzles."

Tina: "Okay. Whiny Wendy. A magical bridge extends, leading you directly to the rune. Are you happy?"

Mordecai: "Kinda, yeah."

Tina: "You found the dwarven letter 'A'."

Greedtooth: "Celebrate while you can, douche -- you still need two more letters to complete the passphrase, and I have the last one!"

Rune 3:

Fail to Solve the Dwarven Puzzle:

Brick: "Man, I hate puzzles. I wanna break stuff."

Punching the Puzzle:

Lilith: "is that ... how you wanted us to solve the puzzle?"

Tina: "Yeah. Let's go with yeah."

Brick: "I liked it."


Succeed in solving the Puzzle:

Tina: "Oh no, you solved my devious puzzle. Nice."

Mr. Torque: "You guys are as smart as ****."

Tina: "That's the letter 'F'. Only one letter left."

Greedtooth: "I've got the last letter, moppet! And with the Sorcerer's power coursing through my veins, you'll never get it!"

Rune 4: Enter the arena:

Tina: "You enter the lair of Greedtooth the Dwarf. The Sorcerer brainwashed him into running this place. You also notice a weird-ass magic globe. Might be why Greedtooth's so mean."

Approach Greedtooth: Greedtooth: "Welcome to my lair. Now FRIGGIN' DIE!"

Brick: "A boss fight? Let's do this!"


Defeat Greedtooth:

Tina: "Great job! You have alll the letters. Now just get back to Claptrap."

Lilith: "We gotta walk all the way back? Aw, man."

Tina: "Alright girl, alright. Here -- I made some glowy portals for your laz-a-buttz."

Lilith: "Did you just say 'laserbutts'?"

Brick: "Whatever that is, I want it."

Lilith: "R-A-T-F? We have to unscramble that?"

Brick: "Is it 'raft'? I bet it's 'raft'."
