What to know
- Big Flask (also referred to as the Bulky Water Flask) is located in the Palace of the Wind.
- It’s accessed from the 3rd floor, specifically the area above the Crystal Cutter room.
- The pickup is down in the well, reached by rappelling.
- The flask is obtained by looting a body at the bottom of the well.
In Cairn, after reaching the upper interior of the Palace of the Wind, the Big Flask is a focused detour that rewards checking vertical routes instead of only following doorway-to-doorway progression. Since the route is tied to a specific floor and a specific landmark room, it’s best treated like a quick checklist: reach the third floor, confirm the Crystal Cutter room is below your position, then commit to the well rappel.

How to get the Big Flask in Palace of the Wind
Step 1
Head to the Palace of the Wind and navigate to the 3rd floor.
Step 2
Confirm you’re in the area positioned above the Crystal Cutter room.
Step 3
Go toward the well on this level and prepare to rappel down rather than continuing toward the Crystal Cutter room stairs.
Step 4
Rappel down into the well to reach the bottom.
Step 5
Loot the item from the corpse at the bottom of the well to obtain the Big Flask.
How to avoid missing the pickup
This pickup is easy to skip because the correct route doesn’t “feel” like the main path—everything about it points downward, away from typical room-to-room navigation. If the goal is grabbing the Big Flask cleanly and moving on, these checks help keep the run efficient:
- Stay on the 3rd floor until the area clearly aligns with being above the Crystal Cutter room.
- When approaching the well, prioritize setting up the rappel rather than drifting back toward the stairs leading into the Crystal Cutter room route.
- At the bottom of the well, scan immediately for the corpse as the source of the loot; the Big Flask is tied to that body rather than an obvious container.
- If it’s difficult to see on that floor, slow down at the well edge and re-orient around the “above Crystal Cutter room” landmark before dropping in.
What to do right after picking it up
Once the Big Flask is collected, the main objective is simply leaving the well safely and returning to your prior route through the Palace of the Wind. In practical terms, that usually means:
- Confirm the pickup is complete before moving away from the body, so there’s no need to redo the rappel.
- Re-center on the 3rd floor route you were following before the detour, since the Big Flask path is meant to be a quick dip down and back into normal progression.
- Treat the well as a single-purpose stop: enter, loot, and exit, without over-committing to extra wandering in the lower area.
