Elysian Pool

In a random camp encounter in the area a woman audibly shivering asks to rest at your fire before talking about butchers creek being cursed, they're immediately downstream from Elysian pool and their meat must be mangy

Feels like this is worth noting as a connection to this place, I really wish there was someone we could talk to/something we could do, ever the incomplete game ofc -_-

why didnt the devs add more to the elysian pool cave behind the waterfall like why cant i access the mineshaft there were so much missed opportunities in it and it could have been interesting like maybe a bounty location or a stranger mission

So after finding the cave paintings i notices the big cow has a hole in its head with a ring around it and almost looks like there is supposed to be an item either in it or put into it. anyone notice this before?
