As you journey to Ard Skellig and dock at Arinbjorn head to the western part of the island.

Here you will be looking for three rocky islands connected by barely standing ruined bridges, you are at the right location if you see the Eldberg Lighthouse.

    I have the quest “Black Pearl” and the first ting to do is to meet Nidas at the Bridge. But Nidas is not there! I am at the correct place shown by the little yellow target cursor in the game.
