Alright, let’s talk about finding that Northern Nameless Mausoleum. Took me a bit, but I got there eventually. Here’s how I did it, step by step, just my own experience trying to track this place down.
Starting the Trek
So, I began my journey from the usual spot up north, you know, near that big snowy area. Can’t miss it, really. From there, I just started heading generally west. My goal was to follow the main road or path as much as possible initially, keeping an eye out for anything that looked like a turn-off or a less obvious route leading towards the cliffs.
Finding the Right Way Down
This is where it got a little tricky for me. I knew I needed to get down from the higher plateau into some kind of lower area or valley where the mausoleum was supposed to be hidden. Wasn’t immediately obvious looking around. I actually walked along the cliff edge for a good while, peering over, looking for a safe way to descend. Saw a few drops that looked way too steep, definitely not the right way unless I wanted to break something.
- I scanned the cliffs back and forth.
- Eventually, I spotted a section that wasn’t a sheer drop, more like a series of ledges or a rough natural ramp going downwards.
- I carefully started making my way down there. Had to watch my footing constantly, it was pretty loose rock and I slipped once or twice. Slow and steady was the way.
Once I finally got down into that lower valley area, the atmosphere changed. Felt more secluded, lots of old crumbling stones and bits of ruins scattered about.
Navigating the Lower Area
Down there, it was less open. I basically followed the path that the valley seemed to naturally form, winding between rock formations. Kept heading mostly west, maybe angling a bit northwest sometimes. Had to deal with a few of those annoying little critters that pop up in these kinds of places, nothing too tough, but they waste your time when you’re trying to focus on navigation.
The crucial part, I found, was spotting the actual entrance to the mausoleum itself. It’s really tucked away against the rock face, almost camouflaged. I actually walked right past it the first time without noticing, got a bit further, thought “this can’t be right,” and had to backtrack slowly, really scanning the walls this time.
The Final Approach
Then I saw it – this structure that looked like part of the cliff, but with some worked stone, indicating an entrance. It wasn’t a grand doorway, more like a weathered opening or a short tunnel leading inside.
I headed straight for it, went through that short passage. It opened up inside, and boom, there it was – the Northern Nameless Mausoleum. Felt good to finally reach it after all that searching.
So yeah, that was my route. Start up north, head west, find that specific safe spot to climb down the cliffs, navigate through the lower valley keeping your eyes peeled, especially on the cliff walls, and look for that hidden entrance. Wasn’t too bad once I figured out the drop-down point, mostly just took some patience and careful looking.
