Malchor's Leap POIs, Skill Points and Vistas

POIs

Shelter Docks POI:  This isn't an instruction on how to get to the POI, which is very straightforward, but a note that there are a bunch of scrolls here on the lore of Orr which you might find interesting.

Blighted Arch POI:  Approach from the beach to the north.  For the map, see the Blighted Arch skill point below.

Jinx Isle POIs: There are two POIs and a waypoint in the Jinx Isle area.  All of them are in an underwater facility with only one entrance.  The easiest thing to do is to just swim as close to them from the outside as you can, which can actually pick up all of them (you can also use the waypoint to get inside the facility after you have it).

Alternatively, you can swim through the front, which may be very easy or very hard depending on the nearby dynamic event status.  There is an underwater tunnel from the east.

POI underneath the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance:  See "Area underneath the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance" in Misc. below.

Vistas

Vista NE of Theater of Delight:  Straightforward climb up the rocks to the vista.

Vista SW of Drowned Brine:  Small, straightforward jumping puzzle here.  There is also an orrian chest here with a blue item.  Approach from the south.

Vista NW of the Cathedral of Zephyrs, on the cliff:  See "Cathedral of Zephyrs" below in Miscellaneous.

Vista NW of the Garden of Ilya (South of Blighted Arch): This one is high up above you and is kind of tricky to get to.  First, head north into the main chamber with the Risen mobs.  To your right (east) there is another room with ramps leading upwards.  Climb that, and it will eventually reach a locked door.  However, before the locked door, there is a spot on the right side of the wall that you can walk through.  This will put you onto a stone ledge.  Turn right, and you will see an Orrian Spectral Juggernaut (the bow).  Run to it, and to your left will be another passageway.  Take that going forwards and it will get you onto the upper ring with the vista.  Turn to your left, kill the two Orrian enchanted weapons in your way, then run as close as you can to the vista.  There will be a wall in your way.  Scoot along the left side edge of the wall, then do a curved jump around it to the vista.  Note that there are a lot of immobilizing mobs on this walk, so running past them might be a bit tricky.  You can also see the video for this here.  As for getting down... use a waypoint. :-)

Vista north of Union waypoint/Mirror's Handle POI (NW of Mirror Bay): Missing a Vista?  It's probably this one.  It's on the very northern edge of the map.  Go to the Union waypoint and head north (jump into the water).  Climb along the rocks until you can't go any further- you'll notice steps on your left.  Climb those, then climb another set of steps (requires more jumping).  Get to the highest point of the nearby rock, then jump onto the slab that has the vista.  You can also watch the video here.

Skill points

Skill point NE of Blighted Arch:  Approach from the beach to the north.  Note that this whole area has a random stun/damage effects that pop up, so it might be tricky to do the skill point (commune).

Skill point south of the Garden of Ilya:  Approach from the NW.  Skill point is a single veteran mob.

Skill point NW of the Cathedral of Zephyrs, on the cliff:  See "Cathedral of Zephyrs" below in Miscellaneous.  The skill point just requires you to talk to the mob and listen to the history of Malchor.

Skill point underneath the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance:  See "Area underneath the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance" in Misc. below.

Misc

Versoconjuring Waypoint:  See "Jinx Isle POIs" above.

Area underneath the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance:  There is a POI and a Skill point underneath this that aren't obvious how to get.  You have to be outside the cathedral, and approach from the west (do NOT take the ramp up into the Cathedral).  Map is below.

Cathedral of Zephyrs:  There is a POI, a vista and a skill point hidden here.  To get up there, take a somewhat concealed path directly to the west of the altar, then head up the cliff and over to the area.  There are a few Risen eagles and a Veteran Risen Preserver along the way that you can run by.

Karst Plains:  There is a POI and a skill point (commune) underground.  There may be a champion mob patrolling the area but you can avoid it.  Approach from the south, on the surface level, and there is a passageway leading into the tunnel.

Rich Mithril Vein:  West of the Mirror Bay.  Unguarded.

Chest:  By the "Hope Falls" POI, on the southern edge of the map in the center.  It's underwater.
