Above the Clouds — Walkthrough
Look for Thin Air in the quest journal: the Witch asks for 15 flowers from Mount Aethespire. The climb starts left of the mine; the tree top is not the summit.
Quick answer
Align the hook prompt to latch during climbing. The top of the tree section is not the summit; keep climbing to the flowers.
What to prepare
Leave bag space for flowers and read the 15-flower objective before departure.
| Start with | Required items | Where to go | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Witch's letter → speak to her → Thin Air flower request | 15 green flowers | Left of mine → Mountain Aethespire | Botanic Master Medal: plant growth |
Step-by-step walkthrough
- Read the Witch's letter and visit her for the flower request. Check that Thin Air and its flower target appear in your journal before climbing.
- Reach the climbing activity left of the mine.
- Watch the hook prompt and latch when aligned; use your current control prompt.
- Continue beyond the tree section and collect 15 green flowers on Mountain Aethespire.
- Return to the Witch for Botanic Master Medal, then read its use and placement description.
When to start
Reserve this trip for climbing and collection; extra mining first leaves less time for the ascent.
Materials and bag space
Unload unrelated resources before climbing. Count flowers in the bag before beginning the return trip.
Route landmarks
Mine-side entrance → tree section → higher mountain → flowers → Witch. Do not stop at the tree top.
What you get
Collecting the flowers alone does not claim Botanic Master Medal; return them to the Witch.
If you get stuck
No flowers at the tree top? Continue above the tree section toward the mountain summit. Carrying fewer than Thin Air’s 15 requested flowers? Stay at the summit and collect the missing flowers until you meet the current journal target, then descend. Take the full amount to the Witch; reaching the summit or holding flowers is not the medal reward.
Version notes
Use the on-screen climbing controls for your device; no single keyboard binding is assumed here.
Completion check
Count the 15 requested flowers before leaving the summit, then take them to the Witch. Completion means the flower hand-in is cleared and the Botanic Master Medal is received, not merely reaching the tree top.
Read the current request
Read the Witch's current flower request before descending; if its amount differs, follow that request.
