If you have already walked around the entire Stonewake’s Cross (Stonewake Cross) in The Forge and still don't understand where the Bard might have dropped his guitar, then you've come to the right place. In this quest, the secret is literally hidden in the wall, and almost no one finds it without a hint. Let's figure out where exactly you need to go and what to do.
Where the Bard quest begins in The Forge
To start the quest, you need to meet the Bard– a sad guy by the fire. He sits in the spawn zone, in the first area called Stonewake Cross. As soon as you load into the location, go east, past the potion shop. A little further you will see a small fire, next to it the Bard is sitting.
Talk to him and agree to help. Without this step, the guitar simply will not rise, even if you find the right place.
How to find a lost guitar Barda
After the conversation, go to the nearest cave. It is located southeast of Bard's bonfire. Go down the slope until you find yourself in a small fork where Nord and Umut the Brave are standing.
A little trick is needed here. Turn left and pay attention to thewall, partially overgrown with greenery. She looks absolutely ordinary and that’s the catch. Go to the grass by the first wooden post or the second pebble on the floor and… just walk forward, straight into the wall. Yes, it's fake.
You will fall into a secret room. A skeleton sits inside, and to the right of it, on a stone, lies the guitar you need. Come and pick it up.
Afterwards, climb the stairs back to the main cave, return to Bard's bonfire and give him the find. After completing a short dialogue, the quest will end.
Quest rewards Bard
For completing the task you will receive:
- Unknown Key – a rare key that opens a closed grate deeper in the cave
- Some money
- Experience
- Achievement Guitar Finder
The main value of the quest is in the key. Behind the bars is hidden access to Fallen Angel's Cave, and there a powerful Arcane Pickaxe is sold there. It is expensive, but for its sake many people complete the quest as early as possible.
