Blind Cliff Cave: Melka and Petra*

Blind Cliff Bastion

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.

• Miscellaneous Objective: Kill the Hagraven Petra

To continue this quest, release Melka or explore on your own. Follow Melka to the rudimentary puzzle, which she tells you how to solve to avoid the dart traps (pull the middle handle). After passing through and up into another chamber (where Melka slays any Forsworn that you don’t), she opens a stone wall panel leading to a lever. Pull the lever to stop the swinging blades in the corridor linking to Melka’s parlor.

She waits for you to open the iron door connected to Petra’s tower. Storm the chamber and defeat Petra here, along with her Forsworn bodyguards. Then return to Melka, demand a reward, and you’re given the Hagraven’s staff.
