1 – Lore Marker: Harmony

As you follow Helka’s pawprints, you have to cross a bridge that only grows at daytime. If it’s night in your game, use the nearby Celestial Altar to turn night into day and cross it. At the other end of the bridge is this Lore Marker.

At the start location, you will discover Helka’s paw prints when you get to the Boat Dock at Freyr’s Camp. The prints lead to the right.

Follow the paw prints. Get into the boat and stay to the right. Look for the branch that is covered in a bright blue goo. Behind that branch is another set of prints.

Get on land at the beach ahead. Go straight ahead to find another pawprint. They seem to go straight ahead through the little cave.

At the other side you will be attacked. After the fight, follow the tracks through a crawl space. When you come out at the other end, Helka will bark at you and you will see her in a distance. But she’ll run away once you get closer.

Follow her. You have to lift up a massive stone to continue your path. There are some more enemies at the other side of this rock. Defeat them and you hear Helka barking. Follow the pawprints up.

Helka went across the bridge and is on the other side. Grapple up from below. If it’s night time in your game, you have to use the nearby Celestial Altar first so the bridge grows. It only does in daytime.

Then, interact with the ledge to use Freyr’s boat. This will complete the quest.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
