After finding all 12 mounts, players shouldspeak again to the head in Saga’s mind place.It will instruct her to “find my twin in the real world.” Astute players will realize they must return to the Bright Falls Elderwood Palace Lodge, to the room there that is the exact replica of Saga’s mental space, andinteract with the deer head there.Technically, this one is already part of the collection, but perhaps due to its prominent resting place, it is the spiritual head of the herd.
