Frozen Flame Cradle of Keepers Map & Locations Guide

When you first step into Frozen Flame, you're given a rather large island to start exploring named Cradle of Keepers. This island is the starting zone and offers some NPCs to interact with, quests to complete such as Help for the Cu, and a number of Rune Pillars and Rituals littered throughout the map to help you level up and increase your skills. We've spent a lot of time exploring, so if you're looking to do everything in the first zone - here's our Cradle of Keepers map guide!

Wrapping up Cradle of Keepers

Cradle of Keepers is a fairly easy zone to explore, compared to Broken Valley which you're headed to next! One recommendation is to complete the core quest and complete pillars and rituals as you go, and then once you've unlocked flying, come back to mop up anything you missed. It becomes MUCH easier to explore if you do that!
