What is special about Orphan Rock in Skyrim?

Once "The Blessings of Nature" quest is started, Orphan Rock becomes the home of a hagraven and several witches and hags who serve her. It is a large pillar of natural stone that is accessed by a fallen tree bridge. There is an Arcane Enchanter located there.

Can Orphan Rock be cleared?

Orphan Rock appears to have the characteristics of a clearable location, given that its inhabitants respawn occasionally, (the UESP seems to think it's also clearable). I've never been able to get it to mark as cleared, however, even after completing The Blessings of Nature and killing the hagraven for Nettlebane.

How do I get the quest for Orphan Rock?

You can find it by traveling North of Helgen on the path between Helgen and Ivarstead. Bear traps, a Hagraven (once The Blessing of Nature has been triggered) and a Frost Rune guard the area.

How do you beat the hagraven in Orphan Rock?

Hagraven claws are dangerous. Block damage with a shield or weapon, and use the Become Ethereal Shout to avoid taking injury. Close combat is the preferred way to kill Hagravens, but depending on your play style, you may want to attempt ranged attacks. Being good with a bow or ranged magic is an absolute must.
