WhereSearch the ruins south of Fort Perwin.
Full detailCross the opening tutorial row by walking three tiles forward. On the next grid, link each ordered symbol from the endpoint of the previous one, never jumping to a nonadjacent tile.

Ancient Ruin #15 — Deepfog Basin Dragon Head Ruins
Ancient Ruin
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one ancient ruin belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the ruins west of Thalwynd.
Full detailUse Sword Stab on the mural blocks to rotate and reposition them. Reassemble the picture so its borders and internal lines join cleanly across every block; the finished image opens the passage behind the dragon statue.
Ancient Ruin #21 — Sunrise Plains Ruins
Ancient Ruin
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one ancient ruin belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the forest south of Glenbright Manor.
Full detailBurn a route through the damaging vines if needed, then face southeast and number the four statues 1–4 from upper-left to lower-right. Turn statue 2 until it faces the center. Turn statue 1 until statue 3 faces inward. Finally turn statue 4 until statues 1 and 4 both face the center; this solves the linked mechanism.

Ancient Ruin
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one ancient ruin belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the castle southeast of Drakesfall Castle.
Full detailStep onto the western start platform. Advance toward the far statue only while its head is turned away; its blue eyes show when it is watching, and being seen resets your progress.

Ancient Ruin #32 — Dragon's Stone Chambers Ruins
Ancient Ruin
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one ancient ruin belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the camp southwest of Howling Hill camp.

Constellation #11 — Black Dragon
Constellation
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one constellation belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the pond south of the pond.

Legendary Animal #2 — Rokade
Legendary Animal
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one legendary animal belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the forest near Spire of Insight.
Full detailSearch the forest near Spire of Insight. Look within the nearby herd for the black horse. Mount it, counter its bucking until the resistance meter fills, then confirm that you want to tame and ride it; extra stamina makes the attempt safer.
Legendary Animal #4 — Golden Tench
Legendary Animal
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one legendary animal belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the river around Sunset Valley in Hernand for a conspicuously golden fish.
Full detailScan the Sunset Valley river from above until the bright gold body is visible, enter the water, swim directly alongside it, and use the hand-grab prompt. No rod or bait is required. Save before grabbing if you want protection against a rare registration failure.
Legendary Animal #9 — Silver Fang
Legendary Animal
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one legendary animal belongs to this region.
WhereAfter completing the large-wolf optional encounter, search Howling Hollow's cave among the returning wolf pack.
Full detailComplete the large-wolf optional encounter tied to Hernand's northern gate first. Return to Howling Hollow and look inside the cave for an elite minimap marker among ordinary wolves; if absent, search the surrounding hollow, then leave the region and return to reroll the spawn. Defeat and skin the silver wolf. Its fang can be exchanged at a witch to unlock the mount, and the hunt also awards its helm.
Maze #3 — Ancient Rift Maze
Maze
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one maze belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the camp northeast of Trovak Camp in northern Hernand.
Full detailApproach the Ancient Rift from the south. At the first door down-right, use Focused Light only on pillar 3, then press the control inside for an Engraved Stone. At the lower-left three-pillar door, light only pillar 1 and collect the second stone. At the remaining door, strike the far-left and far-right pillars twice each for the third. If an incorrect pillar changes a pattern, leave the region and return to reset it. At the lowest dead end, fit all three stones into the wall sockets.
Duel Challenge 1
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the fighting pit south of City of Hernand.
Full detailAt the fight pit, open the weapon wheel and equip gloves only before speaking to the host. Win three consecutive unarmed bouts and then the fourth champion bout; any loss resets the streak. The activity remains available after its introductory visit, so an unfinished run is not permanently missed.
Duel Challenge 3
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the activity point around Scholastone Institute in Hernand.
Full detailEquip bare fists before talking to the Scholastone host. Only wrestling techniques count; win three consecutive matches, then beat the fourth champion match without leaving the sequence. Clothesline from the blue skill tree deals more damage than basic grapples, and additional Grappling upgrades improve it further. Quitting after a win discards the streak.
Duel Challenge 4
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the activity point northeast of Lioncrest Manor.
Full detailEquip an item explicitly classified as a spear or lance in the secondary slot; spear-like cannons and halberds are invalid. Remove armor with automatic damage effects, and do not add elemental effects, because either can forfeit a bout. Turning Slash is allowed. Win three contests consecutively and then the champion match. If you lack a spear, check ordinary enemy drops, camp Lost & Found, and your personal chest.
Mind Game Challenge 1
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereLook for children playing rock-paper-scissors in a major town such as Hernand.
Full detailChallenge children marked as environmental points in any major town. A match requires two winning rock-paper-scissors guesses, and each group can be played only once every few in-game days. Save before a match if you want to retry a loss, then accumulate three match wins; they may come from the same group on different days or from groups in separate towns.
Mind Game Challenge 2
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WherePlay Duo upstairs in Hernand's inn and at the larger table in Tashkalp; both tables are needed for every opponent-count condition.
Full detailWin three Duo rounds consecutively and also record wins against one, two, and three opponents. Use the Hernand table and Tashkalp's larger table; a caught cheat or bankrupt player can reduce the latter's opponent count. Compare each visible first stick with the possible totals, fold weak pairs, and press strong pairs with large bets. For a major advantage, earn the Deceiver's Fedora from the trusted arena mineral vendor and wear it to reveal every hand.
Shooting Challenge 1
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereVisit the archery contest at Lioncrest Manor in Hernand.
Full detailEnter as Kliff; the host will not run the archery contest for the other playable characters. Each match is a race to ten single targets. Keep the bow drawn and your reticle near the middle between spawns, sweep only far enough to acquire the next target, and release immediately. Win three matches during one uninterrupted session, then defeat the champion.
Shooting Challenge 2
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the activity point north of Lioncrest Manor.
Full detailEnter as Damiane; this firearm contest is unavailable to the other playable characters. Be first to shoot ten appearing targets, recentering after every hit so new targets require minimal horizontal movement. Win three consecutive rounds without leaving, then win the champion round. Opponent reaction speed varies, so retry the streak if a rival repeatedly fires at spawn.
Strength Challenge 1
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereUse the arm-wrestling table inside the inn at Hernand Castle.
Full detailChallenge the arm-wrestling table inside Hernand Castle's inn. Complete each input prompt rapidly, win three opponents consecutively, and then defeat the fourth opponent—the champion. A loss breaks the streak and requires starting again at the first opponent.
Strength Challenge 2
Activity
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one activity belongs to this region.
WhereUse the arm-wrestling table inside Calphade's tavern.
Full detailThe Claphade table opens before its champion does.

Win three arm-wrestling matches consecutively, then beat the champion in match four.
Optional Encounter #2
Optional Encounter
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one optional encounter belongs to this region.
WhereComplete Hernand's house and town faction work, then take the northern-gate assignment and follow it west toward Howling Hollow.
Full detailFinish enough Hernand house and settlement quests to unlock the Legendary Wolf group, speak with the soldier at Hernand North Gate, and follow the nearby marker. Clear the surrounding wolves, then block or parry the large target's melee strings. After its first blue bar empties, head west toward Howling Hollow and use the lantern if the trail continues beyond the cave. Win the second encounter for Shadow Claw, an Abyss Artifact, and the item that reveals legendary-animal knowledge.
Optional Encounter #5
Optional Encounter
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one optional encounter belongs to this region.
WhereAdvance the Roberts and Alfonso house assignments until the Arboria Castle encounter appears in the Celeste section.
Full detailComplete the Roberts and Alfonso faction sequences; if the Arboria Castle assignment does not appear, clear the available Serkis one-offs as well. Ignore or safely detonate the small explosive spiders outside and reach the main chamber. Fire attacks knock the wall-climbing target down, creating the safest damage windows; avoid its poison spit and summoned spider clusters. Victory grants Queen's Fans, an Abyss Artifact, and Stirrups of the Open Sky.
Sanctum #1 — Sanctum of Absolution
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereFind the sanctum south of the City of Hernand and approach from its eastern Nexus side.
Full detailAccept the corresponding sanctum request, enter from the eastern Nexus side, and clear the occupation completely. From the interior hall, drop to the lower outside device; the missing pillar piece is just inside the northern doorway on the left. Set it over the broken column and jump-Force-Palm it into place. Back in the hall, break the jar pile to expose the cube, carry it outside with Axiom Force, insert it in the device's eastern socket, then stand in the illuminated square.
Sanctum #2 — Sanctum of Temperance
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the cliff around Unicorn Cliff.
Full detailAccept the corresponding request and clear the sanctum from the northern Nexus road. Return to that entrance, climb the left stairs, and take the cube from the breach in the wall; use the Kuku Pot if carrying it outside is awkward. Insert it into the device's eastern socket. Burn the foliage covering the small building north of the device, bring out the pillar segment, align it with the northeastern broken column, jump-Force-Palm it into place, and use the lit square.
Sanctum #3 — Sanctum of Penitence
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the sanctum around The Ironwood.
Full detailAccept the corresponding request and clear the sanctum from the north. Face the rear wall and stairs, climb to the roof, turn left, descend the small eastern stairs and then the stairs immediately right.

Sanctum #4 — Sanctum of Benediction
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereFind the sanctum in western Hernand and use the southern road into the site.
Full detailAccept the corresponding request and clear the sanctum from the southern road. From the rooftop device, descend the right-hand stairs and light the torch beside the lower door; the pillar segment is immediately left inside. Fit it to the device's northeastern broken column with a jumping Force Palm. At the bottom of the western steps, take the nearest right-hand doorway to find the cube; carry it back, seat it in the device's western socket, and step into the lit square.
Sanctum #7 — Sanctum of Deliverance
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the sanctum around Stormtalon Ridge.
Full detailAccept the corresponding request and clear the occupation from the southern approach. Descend the right staircase, take the first lower doorway on the left, and pull the pillar piece through the ceiling crack with Axiom Force; fit it to the device's northern broken column. Climb the short eastern wall to the roof, collapse the weak section, and seal the cube below into the Kuku Pot. At the north device, discard Reactor Core IV, insert it into the northwestern socket, and use the lit square.
Sanctum #8 — Sanctum of Atonement
Sanctum
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sanctum belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the sanctum around Haunted Hill.
Full detailAccept the corresponding request, enter from the east, and clear the sanctum. Pass through both arches; seal the oversized floating pillar piece inside the Kuku Pot. Use the lower opening in the wall to the right, retrieve the cube from the upper-right recess, and carry it to the southwestern device. Insert it into the eastern socket. Discard Fusion Reactor Core LIV-I from the pot, align it over the device's northern broken column, jump-Force-Palm it home, then stand in the lit square.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Above the Law 1 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection east of Halssius Apothecary.
Full detailEquip a mask and work between 21:00 and 04:00. A banner immediately left of Hernand town's central Nexus is repeatable: move beyond the soldiers' sight, shoot the hanging pike with an arrow, teleport back to the Nexus to respawn it, and repeat until ten are destroyed without any detection.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Above the Law 2 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road northwest of Torchlight Beacon.
Full detailExpand Greymane Camp through Grounds of the Sunrise and the ranch-building step in Gathered Will, then complete the ranch tutorial request. Carry goats from the nearby herd to the ranch's middle stall and sell three to Bram. Extra livestock goats obtained elsewhere also count.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Above the Law 3 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road northeast of Calphade Beacon.
Full detailComplete the Greymane wagon-fence introduction in Scattered Embers so Hernand's fence is marked. Steal a wagon, break pursuit, and drive it to that fence for sale; repeat until three wagons have been sold. The introductory delivery counts if performed after the seal was collected.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Above the Law 6 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road west of Calphade Farmhouse.
Full detailAfter collecting the artifact, sell ten stolen pigs to any livestock fence. A repeatable route begins at the pig pen in the field south of Muckroot Ranch: take one pig, leave the suspicion zone, walk it north to the Livestock Black Market, and sell it. Mounting a horse abandons the carried animal, so repeat the route on foot ten times.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Above the Law 8 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the shrine west of Vellua.
Full detailOpen twenty locked doors using twenty keys; keys are universal, not door-specific. Loot bandits—especially with a fully trusted dog collecting drops—or buy three daily from each Back Alley Shop for 20 copper apiece. Sleep past midnight to refresh shop inventory. Hernand's townhouses and castle provide many nearby locked doors; each successful unlock advances the seal.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Battle 6
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection north of Calphade Outpost.
Full detailSAVE-BACKUP WARNING: the easiest controlled attempt occurs at a fortress defense with siege towers. Reach the southern wall cannon without thinning the enemies, shoot the upper part of the nearest siege tower so its occupants fall together, then fire into the clustered survivors for five simultaneous cannon defeats. Reload if fewer register. The cannons at Fort Windridge in Delesyia are a repeatable but harder fallback.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Battle 7
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road southwest of Reedfield Graves.
Full detailSwitch Force Palm to its Healing form, then strike friendly combatants with it three times when they need recovery. The healing variant is available from the point Force Palm is learned; change the held skill's mode before using it so ordinary offensive palms do not count.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Battle 10
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection south of Sanctum of Penitence.
Full detailUnequip every weapon and use bare-fist attacks to defeat three enemies within sixty seconds, measured from the first defeat. Gather three weak Hernand bandits close together and soften none of them with equipment or automatic armor effects before beginning the finishing sequence.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Bow 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection west of Glenbright Farm.
Full detailAs Kliff, defeat five enemies with bow damage inside sixty seconds. Marksmanship upgrades, a refined bow, and Charged Shot shorten each kill; soften or group weak enemies before the first defeat because that starts the timer.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Bow 2
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road southeast of Claphade Outpost.
Full detailAs Kliff, defeat seven enemies consecutively with standard arrows only. Poison, explosive, or any other alternate ammunition breaks the condition, so select the basic arrow type before the first kill and do not change it until all seven register. Weak clustered enemies make ammunition and interruption management easier.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Challenges and Changes 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection south of the A in HERNAND.
Full detailTeleport to any restored flying Abyss through the sky-map view, jump over its edge, and accelerate the descent continuously. Touch ordinary ground within thirty seconds of leaving the island. Choose an Abyss over open terrain so cliffs, water, or intervening platforms cannot delay the landing.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Challenges and Changes 3
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection northwest of Phoniel Ranch.
Full detailRecruit twenty Greymanes into Howling Hill Camp. Continue the camp faction work through Embers of Return and Gathered Will; the fourth Gathered Will assignment pushes the roster beyond twenty. Only members actually recruited to camp count, not friendly NPCs met elsewhere.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Challenges and Changes 9
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection northwest of Wild Raiders Camp.
Full detailPlay Duo at Tashkalp's larger table until an opponent cheats. During the draw, a cheater pulls their hand upward toward the throat; a fair draw moves sideways. Enter the blue observation view when prompted and choose Accuse while that animation is occurring. If the tutorial already appeared, watch every opponent's hand manually.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Gun 5
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection northwest of Ruined Chapel.
Full detailAs Damiane, record three defeats with each required firing style: ordinary shots, either Evasive or Focused Evasive shots, and shots fired while airborne. Track the three groups separately. For the aerial set, jump and use Focused Shot to mark weak enemies before releasing during the same airtime; landing before the bullets fire may invalidate that kill.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Horse 4
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road north of Sunset Valley.
Full detailBegin mounted at Sunset Valley and reach Varnia within forty minutes without dismounting; leaving the saddle resets the attempt. A level-5 horse with strong stamina is safest, with Royler offering excellent base speed and endurance. Follow roads, manage sprint reserves, and avoid hostile clusters that can knock you off. A clean route can finish well inside the limit.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Horse 7
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection west of THE IRONWOOD text on map.
Full detailRide each required breed for at least 100 meters: buy Priden south of Delesyia city; use Camora or a companion's default Brianto; buy Numont in Tommaso; buy Elantrima north of Calphade or in friendly Pailune. Stolen and borrowed horses count, so keeping each mount is unnecessary.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Hunting 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road northwest of Karin Quarry Rest Area.
Full detailApproach living birds closely and hold the interaction prompt to pick them up. Carry five different birds; dropping and recapturing the same individual does not add another count. Calm settlement birds are easier than flocks that immediately take flight.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Life 8
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road north of Sunset Valley.
Full detailVisit any smithy with the required materials and craft at least one one-handed sword and one bow after the artifact is active. Hernand town's central blacksmith is a convenient choice and appears as an environmental point once discovered. Both crafts are required; purchasing finished weapons does not satisfy the condition.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Operation 4
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the seal site north of Hernand Watchtower.
Full detailGather thirty weak enemies in a large Hernand encampment and begin the sixty-second window with the first defeat. Use a wide multi-target weapon or secondary heavy weapon rather than single-target sword strings, and pre-position the crowd before killing anyone.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Operation 6
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road northeast of Vilkom Outpost.
Full detailArrange three unaware enemies within reach, then assassinate all three within one minute of the first. You can lure them apart, escape detection, and return after they settle. Storm Veil from Wind provides an easier method: cast it inside a group and assassinate coughing enemies before visibility returns.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Operation 7 (missable)
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the shrine west of Roothold.
Full detailSAVE-BACKUP WARNING: finish this before clearing every One-Eyed Jackal opportunity. Buy the Black Bear's Leather Helm from Pailune's tailor once it enters stock, equip it, and defeat ten One-Eyed Jackals while wearing it. Whispering Forest Dock supplies enough if still hostile; later mixed Black Bear groups and the faction assignment concerning remaining Jackals are fallback spawns. After all such content is cleared, no reliable replacement population is known.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Rapier and Shield 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road south of Meshley Trapsmith.
Full detailAs Damiane, defeat five enemies with rapier damage within sixty seconds, beginning from the first defeat. Gather weak targets and soften them with rapier strikes before the timer begins, then finish all five without switching weapons.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Shield 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection north of Hernand Royal Trading Post.
Full detailGuard with Kliff's shield, then use Shield Bash to deal the finishing damage to three enemies. Soften targets first with shield bashes or non-damaging setup, and ensure another weapon or passive effect does not claim the kills.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Shield 2
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the road north of Kharonso.
Full detailFace one or more archers with Kliff's shield raised and let ten arrows strike the guarded surface. Maintain enough stamina and angle directly toward the shooters; arrows that miss or hit from behind do not count.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Shield 3
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereFollow the southeastbound road leaving the Sanctum of Benediction.
Full detailGroup three enemies shoulder-to-shoulder, hold guard, and release Shield Bash into the center of the group. Its broad sweep must contact all three from the same bash; a narrow passage helps maintain the formation.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Shield 4
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection east of Embernest Beacon.
Full detailDefeat five enemies consecutively with shield damage while taking no damage. Remove archers first, isolate weak melee opponents, and finish each with Shield Bash. There is no time limit, so reposition safely between kills; any received hit resets the clean sequence.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Shield 6
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the westbound road from Calphade South Gate, just before the river bridge.
Full detailUnlock Charge at level 3 of Kliff's Armed Combat branch. While guarding, trigger the double-input sprint and collide with ten different enemies within one minute. Use a large camp and run through a packed line; repeated hits on one target may not advance the total.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Spear 1
Sealed Artifact
HintKeep exploring within Hernand; one sealed artifact belongs to this region.
WhereSearch the intersection southeast of Calphade Gate.
Full detailStand close to a group with a spear equipped and parry incoming attacks. The parry's counter sweep can contact several enemies at once, and each contact advances the total. Accumulate fifteen counterattack hits within thirty seconds.
Sealed Abyss Artifact — Spear 2
Sealed Artifact

WhereSearch inside Sleet Isles, focusing on the sky route.
Full detailOptional chest: mark all five switches above the first two fans with Focused Shot to stop the airflow, then glide down. For the restoration, use the yellow-pillar platform or glide between the three incomplete rings. Rebuild each by bringing its floating fragments close enough to snap in: the first needs its large and small pieces; the empty western ring needs one large, one medium, and one small piece; the lower-right ring already has its large piece and needs a medium plus a small. After the last piece, do not move during the activation view; then brace before Force-Palming the restored button.
