Explore all of the Dead Marshes to find 9 bones scattered around. Once you have all the bones place them in the altar and fight what appears to claim your prize.
There can only be at most 2 The bone sword in the game at any one time, however it can be reset much like any other normal limited item.
The bone sword is a powerful weapon which will occasionally make your opponents busy during battle.
First off, if this quest is in then you will see The altar in the starting room of this quest. If the quest is not in, then you can potentially still collect all of the bones but will be unable to complete the quest until the altar is in.nFirst off you are going to need collect the each of the bones from around the Dead Marshes, however they do not always reset at the same time, so you may need to wait longer for certain bones than others.
The marshes are a dangerous place which will drain your endurance and damage you as you wander around, so you should bring some healing with you and be prepared to use it to recover endurance. If you run out of endurance you will have to recover in order to continue moving.
It would also be wise to have a container of some sort to carry all the bones you will need. In this description I will assume you are going to use a pack.
The descriptions for each bone start at the Eastern Osgiliath signpost (A bridge over the Morgulduin).

There is a slightly quicker way to get to this room which drains a little less endurance, however An eel inhabits the room to the west of where you are now which is worth avoiding. It is quite easy to defeat but will prevent you from leaving the room whilst it is alive.
