Incredibly Tough (Broken?) Old Faithful Isle Riddle

  • A friend and I were playing and we had the good fortune to find a message in a bottle, however we were completely stumped by the second clue. We proceeded to Old Faithful Isle as instructed, and here was our next command:

    We proceeded to the north side of the island and descended upon the beach, playing music in front of every thing we could think of. We canvased every tree, every half-buried crate, the small boat on the North beach, and yet to no avail. We spent the better part of an hour playing music in front of every landmark we could find on the island, but never advanced the riddle. Is this riddle even technically solvable? Is it broken? It's pretty damned obtuse (annoyingly so), but we had started to wonder if we were doing something wrong or if there was a technical issue here. This is the only riddle that I've confronted so far in the game that has given me real fits, and I've played since the technical alpha, so I've seen a good number of them.

  • Riddles that have you play music seem to be very finicky. It could also just be a bug. There isn't much you can do except try a whole bunch of places (which you have already done). If you have enough chests to cover the initial cost of the voyage, then just cancel it and buy a new one. Or if you have a high enough reputation, just cancel the current voyage, then buy a new voyage(preferably the most expensive one). Most later game voyages will easily return at least 3 times the amount of gold you spent on the voyage (which will cover both the old and new voyage, plus some).

  • we had once a similar riddle. it said something about an unmarked place above a cave. we searched for it around 30 min, till i accidentaly found it.

    if i think back, i think it was a " stoneplatform" which was completely covered with grass without anything on it.

    and if they say "north beach" it could mean the inner part of the north beach, not just the outer. (eg. on crescent island).

  • looks like its broken. we tried it like an hour
