Go up the hill. There are 4 caves.

First totem is in the cave to your left.
Second totem is in the cave straight ahead.

To your right , will be a slope upwards. There is a 5th cave at the top of the slope with the 3rd totem.

I found that the cave with the Essence of Moon Totem was separate from the group of caves that you first come to. Once you get the Essences of Claw and Life, go just a bit southeast up the hill, and the cave with the Essence of Moon Totem is there.

Description

The owlbeasts' sacred caves are located to the east. Within several of these caves, you should find totems. I want you to approach these totems and gather whatever essence you can from them. The dreamcatcher should absorb this essence for use within Mazthoril.

Before this quest

  • The Owlbeasts' DefenseWinterspring · Level 15-30

    What a shame. Whatever Umbranse has done, he has prevented me from undoing his magic. He is wiser than I had anticipated. I do have a backup plan, however. I have seen owlbeasts enter and leave Mazthoril, even after Umbranse took control.

After this quest

  • Razor Beak and Antlers PointyWinterspring · Level 15-30

    What happened to me, you ask? Listen, <class>, and listen well, for my tale is one of tragedy... I was sent here to Owl Wing Thicket to find some relics. I only made it this far before I was overwhelmed by a flurry of wings and talons. How they roared and pecked, <class>!
