Getting StartedEdit

• Talk to Erjolf on the mountain Northeast of Rellekka.
• Follow him into the cave.
• Click on the rock near him to cross the river.
• Enter the Cave.
• Talk to Erjolf.
• Ask him about his progress and offer to help.

Rafts of FireEdit

• Take some Driftwood and use a Knife on it.
• The cave is navigable by jumping on the flat rocks. Use a spade on a mound of snow by each cave water exit to block the east, west, and south streams. Use the spade again to unblock the streams. The lit rafts will melt the icicles when pushed near them.
  • Below is a table to help complete the room.

East side	West and East	South	You have to set 5 rafts quickly alight from the northern stream of the cave, a few paces west of the northern flat rock. Light them on a spot that, when they float south, they end up across the east side of the frozen armour and are blocked from leaving the cave by a rock. Make sure the south stream is unblocked and the west/east streams are blocked.
