Bard’s Leap Summit: Leap Before You Look*

Please click to enlarge

Fight the Forsworn to reach the top of Lost Valley Redoubt. The “Bard’s Leap” itself is the precarious and breathtaking outlook over the waterfall. Here is the best way to survive the drop to the water below: use Whirlwind Sprint to make sure you get enough distance to clear the rocks, or use Ethereal Form before jumping off. The spectral shape of Azzadal, a Bardic Ghost, appears near the pool at the base of the Falls if you survive, and congratulates you for surviving the fall that he could not. He rewards you with an increase to your Speech skill.

Items gained:
Speech Skill increase

Approach Blind Cliff Cave from the main road running north to south along the river. Clamber up through the giant cavern of collapsed follies, and exit to Blind Cliff Towers. Clamber up the exterior towers until you reach the ominous iron door leading to Blind Cliff Bastion. A caged Hagraven named Melka greets you. She is angry that another witch named Petra has caged her up. You can speak to her about being released and about her adversary. There is a “pretty staff” in it for you...
