To reach the vault entrance in the Fractured Wilds and ultimately the Wild Scout's Shortbow recipe, follow these steps:

  • Ascend the Mountainside: Use the Windstep spell to climb up the mountainside to reach the vault entrance.
  • Clear the Entrance: Defeat any enemies present and clear any rocks blocking the cave entrance.
  • Navigate the Puffer Plants: Approach the cave cautiously as puffer plants are hidden along the narrow path. Attack them from a distance to trigger their explosions safely before getting too close.
  • First Room: Enter the square-shaped room. A hallway leads to an irregularly shaped second room containing two Hulks and one Sentinel. Lure them back to the first room and fight them one at a time,prioritizing the Sentinel if both it and a Hulk are aggroed. Utilizedodging and stamina management. You can exit the vault to reset enemiesand their health if needed. To the right of this combat room, find achest and nodes for Sandstone and Rune Essence. Progress past a floortrap and find a small alcove with a Dragonkin Effigy to learn the Paladin's Platebody recipe.
  • Second Room: Go upstairs, avoiding plate traps. The path splits. Take the left path to find another Dragonkin Effigy at the back, unlocking the Paladin's Helm recipe, and a chest. Continue upstairs for a second chest and a Vault Core. Proceed through the next door to a T-intersection. A Tin node is to the right, and a wall trap with the path forward is to the left. Beforecontinuing, turn around and to the right to find a hidden chest. Thepath leads to a large room with platforms and two Sentinels on the platforms. Rats and Rune Essence/Copper nodes are on the groundlevel. Jump across the platforms to the right side of the room to find a third Dragonkin Effigy (beware a floor trap directly in front of it) to learn the Paladin Platelegs recipe.
  • Final Room: This room contains 1 Aurchon, 1 Sentinel, 3 Hulks, and 1 Rat. Lure them back to the platform room. Use Windstep to reach the thirdlevel where you found the second Vault Core and safely attack theenemies from above. Repeat until all are defeated. Afterward, search the room for a third Vault Core, a chest, and the final Dragonkin Effigy. Interacting with this last effigy will unlock the recipe for the Wild Scout's Shortbow.
