Saved by a hidden ladder!

DreamyLu · August 2021

Had a good laugh today: was riding my horse, atop some rocky hills to shorten my path, when I suddenly fell down into a tight pit between high rocks. I was completely stuck... Grrrr... Typical when I want it to go fast. At first I thought that I will have to map travel, but then what do I see: a ladder!

At first I was like "huh?!" and then I realized that the ladder was interactive! I climbed out and was free.

How is it possible that there is a ladder in such a lost in space little pit in middle of high rocks? Maybe a dev got stuck into that pit more than once and put it there for self?

It was in Vvardenfell but now I wonder: anyone knows if there are several such hidden ladders dispatched in other areas, saving players from being stuck when they accidentally fell down into pits?

Probably a lot of /stuck data from that location, so they dropped a ladder in there - easier than redrawing the terrain I guess

The game developer in me wants this to be true ...

That could become a treasure hunt for an achievement: find the hidden ladders

Ok, now you must tell me approximately where you were in Vvardenfell, because I would love to see it for myself.

@Wolf_Eye port to the Valley of the Wind Wayshrine and follow south route to reach the Nchuleft delve.

Now why would you make a post like that and not include a screenshot ... ?

I describe precisely: when you left the Valley of the Wind Wayshrine, follow the road heading south. When you reach the end of the road, from the straight part between the two 90° curves, head straight forward toward the delve symbol (watch map). It will need you to climb up the rocks. When you're on highest one, you see the delve ahead, below you. If you watch to the left before the delve, you will see the ladder. As an alternative, if you were a bit too fast, you probably landed straight into the pit!
