Need help with chapter 2 Alvaro Quest.

Black raven skull must be in broken tree around base.
I searched all around many times - no skull.
What I did wrong?

[Rinooter]

I believe the skull can be found in other random stumps around the map. I also never found it around base on the northern or eastern swamp edges, but eventually found mine in another one of the locations others reported. If I remember correctly, the stump I found the skull in is on the northern edge of an island with 5 or so cultists just southeast of the base. If that doesn't do it, you may need to search past discussions and wait for others to say their spots, but I'll see if I remember any others in the meantime. Good luck with the search

Nope. All stumps in lower half of map checked - 1 gold nugget and 1 safe key. But no skulls.

Here is a way to do it if you do not have the skull

Man, what exactly u pressed? jump+right?

After hundreds jumps, I cant perform the same.

Have you checked the 2 cliff locations, one near the fort and one at the chicken farm?

If not maybe its there, worth a shot if you can not do the jump.

Can you specify more? Cliff locations - high above water level? There are stumbs?

UPD. There just 2 stumbs near chicken farm, both near cultists altar. Empty.
Tomorrow will check near fort (third time, maybe).

Apparently the Black Raven Skull can not only spawn in tree stumps, but also on the ground on certain plateaus (elevated areas) that are easily overlooked.
I found mine at the location "The Pit" - it was on a plateau I had to jump to from the nearby highest wooden platform. "The Pit" is that small enemy outpost located between Fort and Alligator Farm, where you find that giant hole in the ground (the pit) with 10 enemies trapped inside (fun with TNT).
So in other words: It's not enough to just look into the tree stumps, you have to generally look out for "secret" looking places, especially elevated platforms. I hope this helps.

Regarding jumping from the lower floor: I spent about 30 minutes doing the jump over and over again and made it about 7 or 8 times. It's definitely not easy. And even more definitely not consistent. In that time I wasn't able to find a consistent way to do it.

My best method so far is:
1. Get on the top step you can reach without jumping.
2. Jump onto the tip of the railing from the top step. You'd think that you'd accidentally jump over the railing, but you won't because the railing on the upper level sticks down low enough for your character's upper body to collide with it, so you won't fall. It also positions you better for the jump.
3. Face and run into the intersection of the upper floor's railing and bottom step. To explain more in detail, the step you're trying to land on is connected to the wall and the inner guard railing. Where the inner guard railing and the step meet forms a triangle, right above the railing you're standing on, so you won't run off. This is for positioning.
4. Jump in place. If you did the prior steps you should slide slightly toward the wall and still land on the railing and have a good height.
5. Jump toward the corner where the lowest step of the upper level meets the wall by pressing spacebar and W at the same time. Do not press any other movement directions.
I wasn't able to make a single jump pressing anything other than W. As soon as you hit the corner, angle your camera slightly to the right at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees.
6. If your start suspending in midair, hit spacebar again to jump onto the next step and you've made it.

The above method worked for me about 5 times in the span of about 10 minutes. It's the not same method as in the video, but it's what works for me most consistently. Hopefully someone can figure out a reliable way to do it.

I'd also recommend bringing health regeneration and health boosting items along. Fall damage from missing the jump is a little less than 20 health per attempt (depending on where you land). Equip the health boosting items, make attempts until you have 30 health left. Remove them and equip health regeneration items and wait until you have full health. Then remove those and reequip the health boosting items for a bigger health pool.

FOUND IT!!! Platform near farm.

Big thanks for everyone for help!

Now I can finally move to chp 3 ))))))))))

I found the black skull in a stump but it teleported me to the NW with Wendigos and a unique rifle. Are there several black skulls?

Yes
There is 2, one always spawns in fort and always leads to burned doctor house. The other is randomized, I found it after 2 hours in place, that was discussed in another thread about Alvaro. If you lost, I can show it, maybe it will be there for you
