Any idea how to access this ledge?

This is the tower which holds Nimue in the Awakened King DLC version of Losomn. There's a platform that seems to be walkable (shows up on the map) but is just out of reach from all angles I have access to. It's too far to jump to from where I took the screenshot and the platform up the ladder behind me. It's not too far from higher up in the tower, but the drop is guaranteed lethal. I can't even see it from anywhere else.

Is there anything up to that platform? Is there any way to reach it? Or is it just a prop that ended up included in the game world map?



*edit*
There's also a ledge down by the water line, two ladders down from where the screenshot was taken. It's walkable and on the map, but there doesn't seem to be anything on it. I kept thinking it might be related to getting to the wooden platform, but it doesn't seem to lead anywhere, either.

I explored that same ledge for a while. I didn't see any way into it. I came to the conclusion it's just cosmetic

Almost, but not quite. It's slightly too far and barred by railings. There's a gap in the railing on the far left, but that's over an instant-death pit and legit way too far.

I was able to get a view of the back side of this ledge. The docks where the Zealot Preacher is actually give a view of that tower from a slightly better angle. Near as I can tell, there's nothing up there. No chest, no other ledges, no obvious way to get there from above or below.

I'm thinking this might really be just a piece of geometry that got added to the map in some automated process and nobody thought to take it out. There are a few roofs like that in one of the new areas - shown on the map, can on top of them, obviously aren't meant to. I say "obviously", because the geometry up there has no clipping beyond the surface of the roof itself.

I tried to get over there once I spotted it myself and concluded it's not possible. I want to say I managed to land on it once but even with the ring to reduce fall damage equipped I still died.

In hindsight I should have just used the Explorer's loot radar to check for stuff through the wall before trying to make the jump. Oh well.

Yeah, I think there's a maximum fall distance past which the game doesn't even check for damage. You just die. It's their way to ensure that players can't skip puzzles where finding a way down from a tall place is required.

Still, thanks for the heads-up. Seems it's pretty safe to just write that ledge off as scenery.
