If you don't get credit upon completion, simply exit the cave and re-enter. You should get the pop-up message immediately.
The entrance to this cave is at 24.07 33.06
Inside you will find Gorum
Bonus Objective triggered upon entering Bloodthorn Cave, entrance at 24,33. (Once you enter the cave, coordinates will change.)
- The objectives are to interact with mushrooms in the cave (20), and kill some of the inhabitants (12).
- The mushrooms come in a few styles. Solo count for 1, clumps count for 2, and there are a few giant mushrooms that count for at least 3. I didn't see any of the giant mushrooms until I was at 17/20 for the objective, so it might reward more than 3 points towards the total. A potion vial will appear on your screen, and it will fill up and you interact with various mushrooms.
- Unlike other bonus objectives, this one didn't complete until I exited the cave and re-entered, as others have mentioned.
At 61,30 (within the cave coords) you can also pick up the quest A Matter of Life and Death, which takes place within the cave. More xp while you're already there!
