Once you learn of King Burgred’s Hideout you can make your way there. In the hideout you need to access the crypt underneath. This can be done by going going into the church building in the middle of the Offchurch area.
Make your through the crypt until you reach a locked door. Get the key of the guard out front then open the door. Inside this room you will need to fight the king. Defeat the king, tie him up, then take him to the brothers.
When you meet up with the brothers they will be under attack. Ride past them and make the long ride back to Tamworth Fortress. As you are riding back enemies will appear on the road that will try to attack you. Upon arrival there will be a cutscene. After this cutscene the quest will be complete and a new missions will start called Heavy is the Head.
