Where to Find the Ringing in the New Year Quest

On the map, the quest marker is east of the Ancient Spire (Springlands). It is past the Hunter's Ancient Vault, in the dark part of the map.

How to Reach the Ringing in the New Year Quest

In our playthrough, we fast traveled to the Ancient Spire (Springlands), glided east from the top of the spire, landed and walked the rest of the way to the Hunter's Ancient Vault.

At the vault, we went around its outer wall, then worked our way down the cliffs with short glides and landings on ledges. A last glide from the cliff face took us into the Shroud, toward the quest marker.

In our playthrough, there were enemies by the covered wagon near the quest marker, so come prepared.

What You Find at the Covered Wagon

Near the quest marker, you reach a covered wagon. In our playthrough, SEARCH THIS AREA appeared at the top of the screen and Search this area under the objective.

Beside the wagon, the prompt E Collect Soul appears at a red light. Pressing E shows SOUL DISCOVERED! MEI-YIN CHEN.
