Hinterland Shard quest help needed Please

Ok folks trying to collect all the shards in the Hinterlands and I'm working on the 4 in the area just north of "DuskLight Camp" where you find small fires burning and a bunch of dragonlings and another regular dragon at. Now the dragon flew off to who knows where before I could kill it. I have collected 3 of the 4 shards for which are in this area.

The problem is there is one that is about 1/2 way up a rock fromation/pillar type thing some of them are square. I've tried everthing I could think of even tried having various members climp/jump up the vaious squared parts but we can only get so high up and it isn't close enough to get the shard. Can someone tell me how they managed to get this shard? I would greatly appreciate it.

And if you need the info I'm running the game on PC.

Thanks very much in advance.

For that shard you just need to be creative with your climbing I'm afraid. Try finding a starting point around the 'back' of the pillar, the opposite side of the shard.

Thanks when I'm back in that neck of the woods of the hinterlands I'll give it another go and see what it takes to get that shard. As I've been trying to it from the front where you can see the shard itself.

For tricky jumps I've found that using a mount can help to get up otherwise-unscaleable Sections. Parkour Horse can handily perform feats that would end up with a quick trip to the glue factory in real life.

I don't think I got this shard yet - in my most recent save I've just finished off the Ferelden Frostback and haven't gotten to scour the area - but perhaps the tip will help.

well this isn't a tricky jump you have to get up to kind of circular rock thing for which has square things on parts of it as well. There is barely enough room for one pc and then you can only jump up to a certain point. and then they are to high to jump up to the next higher one. So I don't think a horse would be able to get up there.

I had trouble with this, too. It is just a matter of perservering with jumps, starting pretty much directly below the shard. Work your way up slightly to the left and eventually you will reach the higher ledge, then walk back around on that ledge to the shard.
This might be my imagination, but it seemed easier to make the jump using Blackwall rather than my main character.
