Crossing the Chasm

Quest Log

As you advance deeper into Eldergrove, you encounter a vast chasm blocking your path to the temple. The only way across is a series of narrow, treacherous bridges and stepping stones. As a Druid, you must use your agility and balance to traverse these precarious pathways. The chasm is guarded by the spirit of nature, which will test your connection to the natural world. Prove your harmony with nature, and the spirit will allow you to pass. The spirit has 8 HP. If you manage to reduce its HP to 0, you can safely cross to the other side.

Skill Notes

• Spirit Leap (Lateral Lunges): Step out to the side, keeping your trailing leg straight, and lower your hips. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Alternative: Reduce the depth of the lunge if needed.
• Chasm Crawl (Bear Crawls): Start on all fours, lift your knees slightly off the ground, and move forward by alternating opposite hand and foot. Alternative: Perform on knees for reduced intensity.
• Elemental Flow (Alternating Dumbbell Press): Press one dumbbell overhead while holding the other at shoulder height, then alternate. Alternative: Use lighter weights if needed.
• Bridge Walk (Walking Lunges): Keep your torso upright and take large steps, lowering until your back knee nearly touches the ground. Alternative: Static lunges if space is limited.
