One route that works, and the one with the best odds of surviving (78% chance of a bond):
- The Gate. Walk in first, chin up, and let the sky see you.
- The Ravine. Throw a rope, take the high ground, and watch.
- The Ridge. Run the exposed spine of the ridge at full stride.
- The River. Turn around in the current and look straight up at it.
- The Ashfield. Gather the tags of the fallen to carry home.
- The Silent Colossus. Bow once, rise, and speak your own name.
- The Judgment. Your word. Swear to guard wing and rider alike.
