Witchmothers Cave EP much harder to find then on AD

tat2mano · October 2016

I guess its just a "silly" thing to complain about but i still think enough to put it on here.
There is a huge difference on how easy/fast to reach/find the Witchmothers cave between EP and AD,
for AD its like stone throw distance from a wayshrine and for EP i first had to ride all the way round the mountain and found out i was on the wrong side,
then i took the nearest wayshrine on the other side of the mountain,i found the cave but the distance form the wayshrine to the cave is at least 10 times more,and much harder to find.

I was actually able to jump with my horse on some rocks and reach the cave on the other side from Brothers of Strife ruins. I think it's easier to reach the location from Deshaan, by going north trough the gate near Serk.

Was thinking the same on my way back to the shrine,that it would be easier to get there from Deshaan.
There is one advantage tho,you can grab the Dolmen with the polymorph after you been back to the witch.

Zone chat all over Stonefalls yesterday "Where is the witch?", "I can't find the witch", "how do you get to the witch?"

Me: "which witch?"

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. But come on, you'd think people had barely played this game before. There's even a huge, fat quest marker leading you there.

Ding d0ng the witch is dead!

Hahaha so many people were just stood next to the large rocks, close to the marker. It was almost painful to watch. Taking a minute out to open your map soon tells you where you need to go. There's actually a wayshrine at the bottom of the long path you need to take and from there, it's easy to get to. I suspect a lot of people were in a frenzy to get the quest that they weren't willing to open their map for a minute and instead wasted 20mins getting progressively frustrated..

I'm on Ebonhart Pact too So I feel ya. When I saw the marker on the map I already knew where to go. Yeah those hours of exploring each region do pay off. But It is a tricky place to find, last year while dolmen hunting I was trying to get to the dolmen near the Witch's cave and what appear to be the nearest wayshrine was actually the wrong route.

The thought of "Skyrim-ing" my way through the mountain did cross my mind but the many invisible walls got the better of me then I decided to follow the road south of ashen road wayshrine to my surprise I found the dolmen and cleared it. Those days...

I play EP characters almost exclusively, but I'm actually a fan of the location for the Brewery in Stonefalls.

It's out of the way, secluded, and not to easy or difficult to get to. Just like a conclave or "secret meeting hall" of witches should be IMO.

I rather like where it is.

But my bigger concern is that I think it's a location that should stay in the game after the Festival is finished. I think it would be a great RP location, and it could serve many more uses for the future if it were left in the game.

I hope it stays.

Good thing you can go to AD now. Problem solved.

Can see the humor of that "which witch?" in zone chat if it was being asked so much.

The huge fat quest marker dont show you the way to get there,
its not that it took me hours to find it,it "only" took me 15 minutes to find the way to get there,
on AD its very obvious how to get there form the nearest shrine and it takes you not even 1 minute to get there,even if you would crouch.

If it was also a bit tricky to find for AD then i wouldnt made this OP,
i made it cause of the huge difference.

Yes, it is a "silly thing to complain about".

But I guess it's just another first world problem...
