This is really late but in case anyone was curious about how to do the skip to Falconreach, it's super simple, here's how. After you defeat Drakath the first time you can open up the Orb Saga Timeline and click on the "Golden Opportunity" node, this will show you a button that sends you to Surewould forest which of course is right next to Falconreach. This skip is really important as it skips many maps, Hydra fight, bear fight, and a bandit fight. It may prohibit you from various things though, like the travel map. Enjoy!
