Cave of Blood Claws

Difficulty: Medium

Reward: 780 XP

Follow the short path into the cave, then take a long leap down into the water below.

Take a look around to locate the objective marker, if it doesn’t show up use your Hunter Vision to locate the small bit of Cedar nearby and head that way.

Climb up the path you reach and stay crouched while you follow it. You come up on what looks like a small bonfire guarded by an Udam Warrior. Take him out with your bow, then jump across the broken bridge and light the bonfire.

Stay near the bonfire and use your bow to take out the Leopard that guards the area below, then hop down and follow the path to a climbing spot at its dead end.

After climbing the second climbing spot you are in a room with three Leopards. Use your bow with flaming arrows to not only keep Leopards away from you due to their fear of fire, but to make tracking them much easier since they catch fire when hit.

Once you’ve killed the animals, run toward the waterfall, locating the grapping point that is just above it.

Follow the path through to the backside of another waterfall. Have your spear ready as another Leopard attacks you the moment you step through the waterfall and into the water.

Use your Hunter Vision to locate the climbing spots across the room, you will climb four different times to reach the top, then follow the wooden platform to a dead end marked by an Eagle Cave Painting.

Look up to find two grappling points. After reaching the top, watch your step and follow the platform. Once you enter a larger cave area, light the platform on fire. This fire spreads all the way up to the small bonfire, scaring off the Leopard, and lighting the way out of this area.

You have to jump a few gaps to reach the next area so be sure to watch where you step as falling could be fatal.

Once you reach a large cliff, look left and stick to the wall. This path take you to the bottom of the cliffs. When in the water at the bottom, use your Hunter Vision to locate climbing spots. These two climbing spots lead up to a grappling point.

Pull yourself up to the top of the grappling point, then look up and pull yourself to the top of the next grappling point.

When you reach the top you need to jump a few gaps on the path leading toward the objective marker. Light the small bonfire near the top to help light the way.

Follow the path into a large day lit area containing an Udam warrior fighting a Leopard that blocks your path. Use the broken down tree that leads up into the light to find your way out.
