After completing Mirabel's quest, locate a green ! marker in one of the newly decorated rooms and view the event with Karja.

On the open waters, Fast Travel to the Seagull Flock point near Carnac. Instead of heading to Carnac, travel east and slightly south. Destroy the rocks blocking your path to reach the green ! marker island. If you visited this island in the previous chapter, you can fast travel if you have unlocked the Hewnstone.

Inlet Isle:

  • Use Mana Sense and Eagle Eye Doubloon to find buried treasure: Tough Leather x3 (southwest of the starting point, behind a large boulder) and Blue Drop x10 (further south behind another large boulder).
  • Fish at the fishing spot using both baits to catch Marine Amana.

  • Enemies here are level 15.
  • Open a chest for Supple Leather x5.
  • When you can drop down and see muddy water, use Mana Ride to travel north.
  • Open a chest containing Blue Drop x3. To reach this chest, use Mana String points in the trees to fling yourself between them, timing your release to land on the island with the chest. You cannot use Mana Ride to land on this small island.
  • The fork leading southeast contains a crystal cluster and a Mana String shortcut point, revealed by Adol's Mana Burst.
  • A Challenge Boss is located ahead, at Level 47. You can choose to return later or attempt it now.
  • Defeating Gilveros, which sprays black gas (inflicting curse) and jumps around, rewards you with a Veteran's Necklace.

Tips
  • Remember to use your Mana abilities like Mana Ride and Mana String to navigate the environment effectively.
  • Keep an eye on your minimap (a small map usually displayed in a corner of the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) for marker locations.
  • The Challenge Boss on Dieback Isle is a significant threat; consider returning later if you are under-leveled.
  • Tuna Fishing requires specific bait and locations; pay attention to the map indicators.
  • Check Hugill's delivered letters regularly for potential new quests.
