Inside, hug the left wall, and near the back of the cave on a ledge you’ll find a Frostmane Loot Cache (30.8, 80.1).

Accept the quest Atop the Cliffs from Rwag. Next, head over to the bonfire and take a look at the cliffs above Frang — knowing what you’re looking for will help you find your objective.

Now go north from the bonfire, and take a left to continue west, following the cliffs until you reach a gap you can head through (40.7, 65.0).

At the top of the rise, head left at the tree and continue to the far end of the cliffs. From here, drop down and you’ll be able to jump to a Hidden Cache (43.2, 69.6). Loot this chest to get Rune of Shadowstrike, which you can right-click to learn the rune.
