- Blades by the Adventurer's Pack in the first aqueduct
- Blades along the north wall of the tunnel past the second aqueduct (heading towards the second shrines)
Tips and Misc
- Bug: When you first see Urgnonth, he's behind a barrier that has no physics.[1]
- Bug: Avoid bursting down the dragon too quickly (Ruin, Manyshot etc.) or the quest may glitch and make it impossible to progress.
- In the first aqueduct, be sure to stay on the rocky outcroppings.
- In the second & third aqueducts, some of the rocky outcroppings will collapse under you; these are visually distinguishable. "Square" marked terrain will crumble.
- Kaxith Nar will appear near the end of the second aqueduct.
- The hidden cavern (and artifact) can be found in the third aqueduct, along the southern wall (before the first Lever of three), near the breakable urns opposite side of the; Lever (I) carved stone. It can only be accessed by diving into the electrified water. However, the water is only electrified on the surface by the entrance; the rest of it is safe.
