You need to complete Cadwell's Silver before you are given Cadwell's Gold, but you can start to do the component parts of Gold whenever you like; just take a wayshrine to the Covenant zones. When you get around to completing Silver, the parts of Gold you have already done will get ticked off straight away.

You get this quest from Aspira Giant-Friend,i got this a while back,
you need to walk up to trees and do something to make a giant hit the tree or something,
but my giant didnt do anything,i tried for an half hour or so and then gave up and deleted the quest.

Then later i found out that it is part of AD Cadwell's Silver,
so i tried picking the quest back up but the npc that gave the quest isnt there anymore so i cant pick it up,
i got a ticket for this but as most of you know it can take a while before you get a decent response on them.

Can anybody tell me when if i dont have this quest completed in Cadwell's SIlver if i still get to do Cadwell's Gold ?
Because i think i can finish the last part "The Rift" in a few hours,
really would hate if i get stuck in Cadwell's because of a bugged quest...

I click the tree's my character points and nothing happens. The giants really are stupid in this case.

I finally managed to get the giant to respond correctly, but it was a test of my patience. I'll explain the bug as best I can below.

1. Use the horn. This part works as intended. Blow the horn when standing in the right area, in front of the cave (?), between the two rocks. Giant comes out and follows the player. Works as intended.
2. Use the giant to smash the trees and dislodge scouts. This may or may not work on the first tree, as it worked for me. The player approaches a marked tree and, when in range (5 meters?) activate by pressing E on the keyboard. The giant should switch to an attack animation and smash the tree/ground, dislodging the scout who can be killed and looted for documents 1/4.
3. Successive trees will almost always bug out. Usually I could get the first tree easily, but the second tree would sometimes not initiate the giant's switch to its attack animation. At the third tree the giant will almost always not activate its attack animation, sometimes disappearing and then respawning somewhere else. At one point the giant despawned and I had a message Quest Failed. The Giant Has Returned To His Cave.

Fix (for me)
Try activating the tree from slightly different approach vectors, always allowing the giant room to perform its attack animation. Try several trees. Spam the E key while circling each tree. Wait for a few seconds for the giant's animations to kick in, and repeat. That's how I managed to get it to work, after trying everything else to no avail. Hope it works for others, but I'd rather see this fixed. It's been over a year now since this was reported.

Unfortunately, still bugged as of August 2020..
