If you look up, you’ll see a hornet’s nest.
Shoot it with your bow.
This will turn the nest into gold.
It will fall, shattering the floor and making a large hole.
This quest isn’t difficult.

If you run out of arrows, you’ll have to backtrack.

Enemies

This is where you’ll start encountering enemies.
This is very important.
The enemies can be easily defeated with your bow.
To dispatch them you could:
There’s a large group of enemies in the courtyard.
You shouldn’t go out there.
Briefly run out, get their attention and return to the terrace, standing behind a fence.
