GET BUSY LIVING OR GET BUSY DYING
Objective:
|
In the hills due north of Yantra is a wooded hill with a cave hidden beneath the green canopy. The cave is known locally as Bloodrot Pit, and is easy to find if you’re searching for jade during the previously-mentioned enchanting quest. Enter the cave mouth, and begin to battle around ten Arachomorphs.
These giant spiders can be dispatched using tactics found in this guide’s Bestiary (page 733). Their lunging, attacks can cover large distances, but are very susceptible to Yrden (which freezes them in place); follow this up with burning or freezing attacks (Axii, Aard, or Igni are all good choices, followed up additionally with sword strikes). If you’re caught in a web, attempt to parry. Use bombs that freeze or burn. Copious dodging and rolling are also advisable.
Once combat concludes, remain just inside the cave mouth, and locate the curled-up corpse; gather the following items from the body, and read the letter. It’s a missive from a friend commanding the dead man for surviving the horrors of Drakenborg.

Once it has stopped scuttling, investigate the back (eastern) part of the back cave, until you find a shovel and half-buried chest. Gather the following coinage:
