As long as you meet those pre-requisites,the story starts with Auni showing up at your plotto tell you he found a secret cave in Elderwood and asks you to meet him there. This begins theAdventure On The Horizonquest.
The cave is located in thesoutheastern corner of Okanaa Bog, and you’re able to get there easily byfast traveling to De Mer Dock. Once you’re inside, after talking with the brothers briefly, you’ll slide down the large slope and land safely at the bottom.
Don’t try to launch your gliderduring this interaction, or the game will just send you back to the top of the slide.
How To Solve The Prismbeard Sliding Puzzle
Nai’o and Auni are waiting in front of an ornate door. After speaking with them again, go through the door to find one of Palia’s famous sliding puzzles.
Auni will mention he tried to solve it but was unsuccessful, and Nai’o isn’t any help either. Luckily, this is one of the easiest ones to solve. Maybe Auni gave you a head start?
To solve the Prismbeard sliding puzzle,follow these steps:
How To Find All The Prismbeard Treasure Maps
Once the sliding puzzle is solved, the image of Prismbeard will be revealed and start glowing, and a treasure chest will appear at your feet. Open it to find a treasure map,then show the map to Auni and Nai’o.
The map looks very similar to a location in Elderwood. This map specifically shows the Red Blossom Cave. Thered X points to a location within the Red Blossom Cavewhere you’ll find your next clue.
When you get there, look for thegraffiti of Prismbeard’s logoon one of the walls.Dig up the pile of dirtbelow it with your hoe to reveal the next clue.
This timeyou’ll head over to Jeunesse Pass. The spot you’re looking for will be at the northern corner of the pass,in a cave underneath.
This time the Prismbeard design is on the ground,and the dirt pile is next to it. As before, dig it up, and you’ll find yet another treasure map.
This is thethird and final treasure mapfor this portion of the quest. The spot you’re looking for is on the western side of Mitana Grove, up on the cliff. When you dig up the dirt pile,you’ll reveal a note from Prismbeard, sending you back to the sliding puzzle you just solved.
Go back to the puzzle in the hidden cave, and when you interact with itselect the phrase “A fitting reward for Prismbeard’s demise"to progress the quest.
A new chest will appear, and inside this one is thePirate’s Spyglass.
To solve the next part of the quest, you’ll need to equip the spyglass. Open your character menu, and under Accessories is a new slot calledQuest Gear. Click on this,then click on the spyglass to equip it.
How To Find Every Prismbeard Statue
With the spyglass equipped, you’ll now be able tosee things that were previously hiddenfrom the naked eye. For this quest, you’ll be able to see hidden clues that Prismbeard left behind.
The first thing the spyglass reveals is agold and purple statue of Prismbeardat the base of the sliding puzzle. Interact with it to receive your first riddle:
Ye who seek treasure, ye who seek fame,
Ye who seek all under Prismbeard’s name,
Hear ye this tale as ye follow me past,
From the start of my journey ‘til I breathed me last.
This willcomplete the Adventure On The Horizon questand begin the next quest,The True Treasure. Your next step is to gotalk to Calerito learn about Prismbeard’s life, from when he was born to when he died.
She gives you some old newspaper plates about Prismbeard’s life, includingimages of different areas in Elderwood. These images willgive you cluesthat correspond with the riddles you get from each Prismbeard statue, leading you to the next one.
After you check back in with Auni, follow the trail andcheck each of the locationsmentioned in the newspaper plates. After you receive a riddle from a statue,check in with Auni and Nai’obefore going to the next one.
Sometimes the brotherswon’t appear on the mapwhen it’s time to talk to them, but they willnever be far from the last statue you spoke to, so just keep walking around that area and you’ll find them.
The statue at the sliding puzzle isconsidered the first statue and gives you your first riddle. After you get the newspaper plates from Caleri, your first task is tolook for Prismbeard’s childhood home.
Here are all the statues and their locations:
Location
#2: Prismbeard’s Childhood Home
The only clue is the image in the newspaper clippings, which shows some cliffs in Elderwood.
Western side of Mauvais Way,nestled in the cliffsbeside the Vieuxport Sea.
“Next ye must take a little trip
To the place where I sailed me first ship”
You’re looking for a pond with a small dock. This pond is located at thenorthernmost part of Deep Woods, below Elderwood Stables.
“Next ye must find where I first set sail
On this dock I once kept me lucky pail”
The image in the newspaper clippings actually helps you out bynaming De Mer Dock as the place where “young Zayid left by boat”.
“Next ye must find where Prismbeard was caught
There in the dark many fires were shot”
If youcheck the fourth imagein the newspaper plates, you might recognize the structures in the Elderwood Stables. Go here, and the statue ison the walkway above.
“Next ye must find where I made me escape
T’was at that old tower where it all took shape”
Your next stop isthe pier in Mitana Grove. The statue is right in the center.
“Now ye must find where this chapter ends
O’erlooking the ruins of Eobard’s Revenge.”
This clue will lead you back to the cave where you started your journey. After you slide down the slope,walk up the pathtill you find a cliff overlooking everything below, and where you can clearly see the shipwreck.On the edge of the cliff is the final statue.
How To Solve Prismbeard’s Final Puzzle
When you interact with the final statue, the riddle isn’t very important for the quest. But interacting with the statue willcause the door behind you to light up and unlock.
Through this door you’llencounter Prismbeard’s final puzzle. Solving this puzzle will at last grant you Prismbeard’s treasure andthe plunder you seek. It may seem daunting, but we’ve got the solution right here.
On the sides are four scrolls that eachhold a clue to the puzzle. When you read the four clues, each onementions a cardinal direction and a creature. Each dial is facing North, South, East, and West. To solve this puzzle, just turn the appropriate dial to theimage mentioned in the scrolls.
The solution is:
Once you have the dials set correctly,interact with the podiumbehind you to check your guess. As long as the dials are in the right places,the door will open to reveal your treasure!
There may be a glitch that, for some reason,doesn’t let you open the chest. Just keep reloading the area by leaving and coming back andeventually it should work properly.
