It must be great fun to some people to brag about knowing \"the right way\" to step into the well, and not telling any hints about it... :rolleyes: I did not know so far that there is a \"wrong way\" at all...
For me, I don\'t lose any health by simply walking into the well over the right stairs. I lose ~20% by the first falling from the ledge onto the upper broken bridge, and ~50% by falling from the lower broken bridge to the platform, after ballancing down the rope.
I guess that you shall survive it if you have at least level ~80 for all physical stats (Agility, Endurance, Strength), and a stack of potions (Sharven sells them).
