Let’s break it down step by step, including material locations, puzzle solutions, and Jade Skull quiz answers.
Starting the Quest: Shadows on the Wall
To begin this quest:
Finish the quest A Forgotten Name
Invite The Forgotten to your village
Head to Skull Rock at Dazzle Beach, where the new quest will automatically trigger
Step 1: Find the Three Broken Lanterns
You’ll need to locate three broken lanterns scattered around Skull Rock.
Lantern Locations:
Dig Spot Lantern
Found near the gate area
Look for a shiny dig spot and use your shovel to uncover it
Fishing Spot Lantern #1
Go to the bottom floor of the Skull Rock cave, near the pirate ship
Look for orange-colored fishing bubbles and use your fishing rod to retrieve the lantern
Fishing Spot Lantern #2
Another orange fishing spot near the previous one
Fish it out in the same way
Once collected, your next objective is to repair these lanterns into Pixie Dust Lanterns.
Step 2: Gather Materials to Craft Pixie Dust Lanterns
To craft the lanterns, you’ll need the following materials:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gold Ingot | 3 |
| Glass | 9 |
| Vitalys Crystals | 9 |
| Pixie Dust Orbs | 3 |
Where to Find Each Material:
Gold Nuggets: Mine from rocks in Sunlit Plateau
Sand: Dig or mine at Dazzle Beach to craft Glass
Vitalys Crystals: Found in the mineshaft of Sunlit Plateau
Pixie Dust Orbs: Appear floating around the village
Use sprint to chase and catch them
Tip: Make sure to bring a pickaxe and shovel to speed up gathering, and sprint around the village to grab orbs quickly before they disappear.
Step 3: Craft the Pixie Dust Lanterns
Head to any Crafting Station and create three Pixie Dust Lanterns using the materials above.
Then, place the lanterns on the rope winches around the Skull Rock area to prepare for the next part of the puzzle.
Step 4: Solve the Lantern Light Puzzle
This step involves aligning the three lanterns’ light beams to form a single point and capture a shadow.
How to Solve the Puzzle:
Aim each lantern so that its beam converges at one point
The target point is on the right side of The Forgotten
Adjust each rope winch until the light triangles merge
A successful alignment will cause a shadow person to appear
Once the shadow is caught, redirect one of the lantern beams toward the gate near the winch
This will trigger the final interaction with the shadow entity
Step 5: Answer the Jade Skulls Quiz
After completing the puzzle, the Jade Skulls will appear and ask three riddles.
