The Uralda quest is usually the first quest I do in the early game, because it seems to get so much harder if I pay any attention at all to Urox, and I like the flexibility of being able to have a Uroxi on the ring. I also pretty much depend on that magical cow to keep our herds up.

I am usually playing an Ernalda-worshipping Peace clan, which may explain why I have an easier time with it than others.

The quest I always have trouble with is Elmal's. For years (realtime, and literally) I couldn't do it at all, despite having read the myths. Someone finally took pity on me and told me the proper choice at the end, which I still find completely counterintuitive, unlike all the other myths which make good intuitive sense. But I still find it almost impossible to do it. Not sure how much of that is psychological aversion on my part and how much is incompetence on the part of my clan ring. :> Often I go through entire games without ever doing an Elmal quest.
