Four Skull Lookout

Four Skull Lookout is a small outdoor Nordic ruin south of Karthwasten containing bandits.

It is one of the three ruins visited for the quest Destruction Ritual Spell. With the Divine Crusader Creation installed, the named bandits Eigorn, Oren, Remy, and Viparth can be found here. They are in possession of the Crusader's Relics.

Walkthrough

The easiest approach to the ruin is from the Red Eagle Redoubt lower camp (before the ascent). The ruin consists of a single room with open doorways to the northwest and southeast. It contains a single unlocked chest containing leveled loot next to a campfire, with a searchable pot hanging over it and two unowned bed rolls around it. Next to one of these are an iron sword and shield. Outside, in front of the northwestern doorway, is a pedestal, with a chair off to the left. It is the home of three bandits: a warrior, archer, and wizard.

There are three juniper trees around the ruin, and a birds' nest containing a pine thrush egg lodged against the southwestern side of the ruin. One hanging moss plant can be found to the left of the southeastern doorway. Nearby is a leveled animal that may get drawn into any battle with the bandits.

Notes

• Directly west of the ruin, on a promontory towards the cliff, a shrine of Zenithar can be found along with minor loot including a pickaxe, a couple of rolls of paper, several loose coins, and a small coin purse.
• A silver ore vein can be found among the rocks just in front of the pedestal.
• The bandits do not seem to respawn.^{[verification needed — See discussion]}
