Blue Eyed Beauty Solution at Polydektes Lagoon

The “hole set in stone” is the arch-shaped rock formation in Polydektes Lagoon, the blue lagoon in the northeast of the Cradle of Myths. Dive down near the arch and interact with the broken pot on the sandy floor to claim the engraving.

The riddle mentions the sun at its brightest, so come during the day for the best view under water.

Polydektes Lagoon also hides 1 Loot Treasure in a cave at the lagoon entrance, so grab it while you are here.

Solution: In the burned debris pile in Pirate’s Revenge
Reward: Engraving

Smoke Signal Riddle Text

“Smoke is rising in Pirate’s Revenge. Find me at the source!”

Where to Find the Smoke Signal Tablet

The tablet lies on a rug next to a writing desk inside the Leader House at Lion Hill on Keos.

The Leader House also holds 1 Loot Treasure on the ground floor, so you can pick up both in one visit.

Smoke Signal Solution in Pirate’s Revenge

Head to Pirate’s Revenge, a settlement partly destroyed by fire. The source of the smoke is a pile of burned wood and debris in the town, and the treasure lies right in it.

The smoke rising from the ruins is visible from far away, so you can spot the area before you get there.

Where to Find the Pride of Place Tablet

The tablet lies at the feet of an ancient lion statue inside the Wailing Cavern on Lestris. Part of the cavern is flooded, so expect to swim to reach the statue.

The Wailing Cavern also holds 1 Loot Treasure near a statue in the cavern.

Pride of Place Solution at Apollo’s Refuge

The riddle sends you back to the Island of Keos. Travel to Apollo’s Refuge on the peninsula, where the brother of the lion stands as a second marble lion watching over the coast.
