South of Skandeia Bay, from the goddess' light I ran. Past the den of teeth and bones, past poor sacrificial lambs. Across the sea on a lonely isle where ships reluctantly rest in peace, I nestled deep in a dark chamber and bade goodnight to Greece.

(Obtained in Temple of Aphrodite, Kythera)

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.

(Obtained in Terror Gorge, Messenia)

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.

(Obtained in Palace of Aphareus, Messenia)

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.

(Obtained in Temple of Apollo Korythos, Messenia)

I lie within the shadows beneath Makedonia's lake, wading in her shallows, awaiting light's first break. When Helios beams through the arch in greeting, I am revealed and meet him, be it ever so fleeting.

(Obtained in Makedonia)

The theater in Patrai brings the seas to the people, showcasing one of the region's most prized boats. Find me taking a 'bow'!

(Obtained in Ruins of Helike, Patrai, Achaia)

Blood and dirt stains are less noticeable on darker fabric! Head east across Erymanthos Peaks to the village of Boura. They specialize in fabric production. Find me in a large vat of red dye.

(Obtained in Teichos of Herakles, Achaia)

At Scavenger's Coast, north of Pellene, young people gather to dive through a hole in the cliff. Find me at the bottom... if you dare to take the leap!

(Obtained in Sanctuary of Poseidon, Achaia)

Behind the Ancient Stronghold lives an eternal king. His gaze is glazed and his bones are stones, and the ruins in the south he calls his home. I made the mistake of raiding his bed, and now I lie with the dead instead.

(Obtained in Ancient Stronghold, Lemnos)

My lover lived in the Petrified Valley and I, in the Ancient Pearl. To Eresos I had to go in order to see my girl. But there was a sonorous crack halfway through, and blue was what I reaped. The wooden behemoth groaned and creaked, and at the bottom of the river we began to sleep.

(Obtained in Alkidas Fort, Lesbos)

From the Mastic Farm, follow the coast east. Keep going till the land's existence does cease. Tucked away in this cave, I watch sails go by. They left me here, to rest and to die.

(Obtained in Anavatos Ruin, Chios)

Elysium

Marble and limestone can't hold forever. A house needs reinforcements, and its foundations must be build to endure. One faulty crack can destroy everything. I fell with my eroding fortification into the water to the east, and will be shadowed by a wooden bridge forever if not found.

(Obtained in House of the Bloodline, Pheraia's Retreat)

To find me, move from the palm to a mouth of the Glorious Dead. The wall of water that spits out of it can be reached by only the most competent climber. It may be wet outside, but i'm kept dry inside.

(Obtained in Hand of Hades, Deukalion's Heritage)

Though the river Styx is a beast best left undisturbed, it has been traversed for eternity from head to tail. I can be found where it wags in the north, tucked into the leaves of a thriving bush.

(Obtained in Prosperity Terrace, Asphodel Fields)

In Elysium, flowers are not mere decoration. Stolen away from her mother, Persephone pays tribute to Demeter with the lush sights and smells of blooming growth. Demeter sings on the winds brewing in the Heart of Elysium, and can easily heard from the bed of white flowers where I wait.

(Obtained in Asphodel Arboretum, Asphodel Fields)

The eyes of the Marble Maiden are wise to watch the river Styx, especially in this unpredictable corner of Elysium. While she keeps her sights on the Mortal Encampment of Adonis's rebels, I act as an offering to her until you take me for yourself.

(Obtained in the Ruins of Rhadamanthos, Minos' Faith)

Underworld

Impious Salmoneus wanted to be treated like a god, but his foolish impersonations only tempted the real gods to smite him. Their might scorched an entire village to the north, leaving nothing but a hollow crater. I now lie in waiting in scorched remains.

(Obtained in the Stables of the Immortal Stallions, The Scorched Lands)

Ixion was a murderer. He broke every rule of hospitality when he killed his guests and tried to seduce none other than the wife of Zeus. The god of thunder ultimately struck him down, tying poor Ixion to an eternally spinning wheel. Go northwest to find me near the blazing fire pit.

(Obtained in Barren Pond, The Scorched Lands)

Go to the east and push the boulder up and over the mountain. When it lands, push it over the crest of the mountain again. And again, and again, and again - for eternity. Before going mad, look down before giving it another push.

(Obtained in Village of the Condemned, Mourning Fields)

To be truly deprived is to bend to drink water from a pool only to have it disappear in front of your own eyes. To open your hand for fruit on a tree, only to have the branch suddenly move out of reach. This misfortune was the curse of Tantalos. You can keep from his curse by finding a shallow pond west from where you found me. The tree at its center keeps me safe and shaded.

(Obtained in Forest of Oizys, Mourning Fields)

Kronos and the Titans ruled all before their fall was prophesized. They were overthrown by the Olympians, and were doomed to reside in the deepest abyss of Tartaros forever. Move fom the Echoes to the western Altars that represent the twelve members, and find me below the arc.

(Obtained in Echoes of the Styx, Chasm of Torment)

Atlantis

I am standing tall with my ten brothers. We surround our mighty father, Poseidon. Silent. Watchful. With a waterfall at my back, I have the most glorious view of Helios retiring his flaming chariot for the night.

(Obtained in Basilike Garrison, Royal Mountain of Poseidon)

Like so many coins, I was tossed into a fountain for good fortune. Finding me will be fun. It's not every day you get to dance with the dolphins of Atlantis.

(Obtained in Archive of Hebe, Oikos of Atlantis)

"Break that boulder... Carry those rocks... Faster now!" I've absolutely had it with people telling me what to do. I'm going to start my own quarry on the other side of the palace. At least there I can dig for adamant in peace, and at my own pace.

(Obtained in Atlantis Latomia, Porimos Ring)

Like some sort of forgotten creature, an abandoned house hides underneath a bridge. And hidden it will remain, as the trees and plants have enveloped it in the most natural of disguises.

(Obtained in Doma of Evaimon, Oikos of Atlantis)

Life couldn't get any better than this. I get to watch magnificent beasts gallop around the track from the best seats in Atlantis. There's nowehere I'd rather be than sitting here under the stars with my best friend.

(Obtained in Horus Repository, Oikos of Atlantis)
