1 – Foggy Memory Riddle at the Palace of Aphareus
Riddle location: Palace of Aphareus, Messenia
Solution: At the edge of the lake across from Messene
Reward: Engraving
Foggy Memory Riddle Text
“Workers are told if they extract any unusual items from the Mines of the Great Trench, they must report them. But if you pay them enough, they will ‘forget’ their loot on the far side of the lake, under a willow tree in Messene village.”
Where to Find the Foggy Memory Tablet
The tablet lies on the wooden platform at the very top of the Palace of Aphareus in Exile Hills, next to a red column, so you need to climb up to reach it.
The Palace of Aphareus also holds an Ancient Tablet near the campfire, so you can grab it on the same visit.
Foggy Memory Solution in Messene
Head to the lake by Messene in the Mines of the Great Trench area and make your way to the far side. The loot waits at the edge of the lake across from the village, so interact with the spot there to claim the engraving.
2 – Procession of Bones Riddle at the Temple of Apollo Korythos
Riddle location: Temple of Apollo Korythos, Messenia
Solution: Body under a blanket in Keadas Cave
Reward: Engraving
Procession of Bones Riddle Text
“They keep piling up in the city, so the dead are taken east toward the bridge that splits into three directions. Then north, to where a winding road leads to a small camp. They are to be dumped in a pit along with the other waste. You can find me down there, like cold feet poking out from under a blanket.”
Where to Find the Procession of Bones Tablet
The tablet lies inside the burned structure at the Temple of Apollo Korythos, on the west side of the Valley of Aristomenes. The temple is a hostile area, so expect enemies.
A Loot Treasure sits right next to the tablet inside the temple, so you can collect both at once.
Procession of Bones Solution in Keadas Cave
Follow the winding road north of the Valley of Aristomenes to Keadas Cave, the small camp from the riddle. Take the ladder down into the pit and look for the body covered with a blanket. Interact with it to claim the engraving.
3 – Tastes Like Chicken Riddle at Terror Gorge
Riddle location: Terror Gorge, Messenia
Solution: Bag of feed at the Temple of Zeus north of Messene
Reward: Engraving
Tastes Like Chicken Riddle Text
“Chicken craving? I hear they keep a hidden coop at the temple north of Messene, overlooking the mine. You will find me there in a bag of feed.”
Where to Find the Tastes Like Chicken Tablet
Terror Gorge lies east of the Mines of the Great Trench. The tablet lies in the first area of the cave. Terror Gorge is a hostile area, so expect enemies.
The Terror Gorge Loot Treasure is up the stairs in the same cave, so you can grab it while you are there.
Tastes Like Chicken Solution at the Temple of Zeus
Head to the Temple of Zeus north of Messene, overlooking the Mines of the Great Trench. The temple has a viewpoint right next to it, so sync it to fast travel straight there. An urn blocks the entrance to the coop area, so jump over it and look for the bag of seeds on the floor. Interact with it to claim the engraving.
