The 3 Pressure Plate Locations

The developer confirmed you need to find 3 large pressure plates:

"To activate the bridge you'll need to find three large pressure plates. Two are on Mira Isles and one is on Eastell." — LiVam [developer], Jun 12 [Official]

Visual Clues

Near the bridge, you'll see three coloured orbs. Behind them, over a wall, there are three large roots. Follow each root to its end — that's where the pressure plates are.

"You see three coloured orbs, behind them, over the wall you'll see three large roots. Follow the roots to their end and step on the large plate to activate the root and make it glow, or pulsate." — Pantherr, Jun 19 [Community-reported]

Plate 1: Mira Isles — Far South (Purple Area)

One activation plate is in the far south of Mira Isles, in a purple area.

"One of the activation things is in the Far south of the island in a purple area."— Doverax, Jun 14 [Community-reported]

Plate 2: Mira Isles — East Hilltop

The second plate is on top of a hill, almost directly east of the island. You can't easily reach it — look for elevation.

"The other is almost directly east of the island you can't get to on top of a hill." — Doverax, Jun 14 [Community-reported]

Plate 3: South of the Bridge — Waterfall Pond

The third plate is directly south of the bridge, in a small pond area with a waterfall flowing into a larger body of water.

"The third one is directly south of the bridge in the little pond area that has a waterfall going into a larger area of water."— Doverax, Jun 14 [Community-reported]

Activating All 3

Step on each plate. When activated, the root will glow or pulsate. Activate all three, and the Holo Bridge powers up.

"Do that with all three and you can cross the bridge."— Pantherr, Jun 19 [Community-reported]

After Activating the Bridge

Once the bridge is active, fly to the end of it to discover the portal to Shuddersands.

"Once the bridge unlocks you have to fly to the end of it to discover the portal to Shuddersands."— Steam Community user, Jun 15 [Community-reported]

The bridge is referred to as the "Holo Bridge" — a holographic structure connecting the two regions. Community-reported

⚠️ Needs Verification

Flying (Broom) may be required to reach Eastell and the bridge endpoint. Flight Spire on Eastell mentioned by Steam Community user, Jun 16, but not verified as prerequisite.

Bug	Description	Source
Can only activate 1 root	"I can only activate one root and not the other two"	Community-reported Steam Community user, Jun 11

If You're Stuck

Can't activate a plate? Make sure you're stepping directly on the large root-end plate, not just near it.
Used quest unstuck? This may complete the quest marker without actually activating the bridge. If so, this is a known bug. Community-reported
Bridge activated but no portal? Fly to the very end of the bridge — the portal is at the far end, not at the start. Community-reported
