Headwaters of Harstrad

The Headwaters of Harstrad are the source of the Harstrad River.

It can be found a short distance downhill to the southeast from the entrance to Benkongerike, or by following the river upstream from the Wind Stone to the west-southwest.

Exterior

The cave entrance is found behind the waterfall cascading down a rock face just below the entrance to Benkongerike. On the bank as you approach the waterfall is a leveled spriggan that will attack as soon as it detects you. There is a pearl oyster next to a nirnroot downstream on the south shore, another on the north shore just before you reach the first large rock that is partially in the water and a third can be found underwater on the river bed between these two.

Harstrad Cave

Headwaters of Harstrad

The entrance places you in a naturally lit, shallowly flooded cave, with a rock pillar directly in front of you. There is a waterfall descending the wall to the southeast, and a leveled spriggan standing on a raised area to the right of you, which will attack as soon as you are detected. At the top of the dry bank on the right is a lootable skeleton in front of an unlocked boss level chest. If you are here as part of the relevant quest, you may activate the headwaters by looking at and "activating" the shallow pool. There is nothing else of interest in the cave.
