Shellwood Cartographer Location Guide

Shakra's Hideout in the Arboreal Complex

Begin your ascent westward after entering Shellwood from Belhart’s eastern pass. Navigate past the sealed brass gate and ascend interconnected platforms, repeatedly winding upward through switchbacks. At the summit’s eastern edge, locate the descending lift mechanism.

Plummet through the shaft, bypassing hostile fauna. Upon reaching bedrock, traverse leftward beyond the lift’s base through a concealed archway. Within this chamber lies the cartographer’s temporary workshop, offering the Shellwood schematic for 70 Rosaries. Reference the embedded visual guide for precise routing through this vertical maze.
