The skeleton boss with an axe stuck in his head.

1.Speak to Jacob Durstan in Arwic. He located next to the lifestone in the center of town. He will task you with retrieving his axe from a skeleton.

Jacob Durstan tells you, "Hail, friend!"
Jacob Durstan tells you, "You look like a hunter on the prowl. If you are in search of adventure, I bid you listen to my tale."
Jacob Durstan tells you, "There is a fort east of here that has been overrun with skeletons. Nasty suckers, those skeletons, and I ought to know. I was contracted by an emissary of the Queen to clear the skeletons out of the fort, and was doing pretty well, too, until I was set upon by a Bone Knight! I slammed my axe into his head, which should have been the end of him. But the axe stuck! So now the foul beast is running around with my axe embedded in his skull!"
Jacob Durstan tells you, "I tried to get it back, but with no weapon, the skels made short work of me. And so here I am at the lifestone again. If you could spare a moment to retrieve my axe, I would be most indebted to you. You can find the fort at 32.5N 66.1E."
Jacob Durstan tells you, "Good luck to you!"

2.Head East from Arwic till your reach of the fort at 32.5N 66.1E. The fort is populated by primarily by Skeleton Lords and a few skeleton Wraiths. The door of the fort is at the Southeast end of the fort. Find the Hard-Headed Skeleton which is found at the opposite end of the fort from the door. Kill it and loot Jacob's Axe.
