Once you’re traveling, you’ll find another boat that will interrupt your journey. You can either try to convince the sailors you’re friendly or try to attack them.

After you arrive in Grymforge, you’ll need to get to a cave behind a waterfall in the northeastern region. In the cave entrance, you’ll find three deadly mimics that will try to entrap you by transforming themselves into treasure chests.

When you finish killing the mimics, you’ll get an Investigation prompt. If you’re successful, the Harper Stash will appear in front of you.
