These relics can help make collecting infected essence a lot easier.
You’ll join Auni and Nai’o to uncover secrets about the Grimalkin pirate Prismbeard’s life, and his long-lost treasure. Complete the questline to claim your plunder: Prismbeard’s Map, Prismbeard’s Figurehead, and Prismbeard’s Journal, along with other exciting rewards.
How To Begin The Hunt For Prismbeard’s Treasure Questline
The only pre-requisites required for starting this storyline include the following:
- Character Level 30
- Visit Elderwood once
- Finish the “Learning the Ropes” quest.
As long as you meet those pre-requisites, the story starts with Auni showing up at your plot to tell you he found a secret cave in Elderwood and asks you to meet him there. This begins the Adventure On The Horizon quest.
The cave is located in the southeastern corner of Okanaa Bog, and you can get there easily by fast traveling to De Mer Dock. Once you’re inside, after talking with the brothers briefly, you’ll slide down the large slope and land safely at the bottom.
Don’t try to launch your glider during this interaction, or the game will just send you back to the top of the slide.
How To Solve The Prismbeard Sliding Puzzle
Nai’o and Auni are waiting in front of an ornate door. After speaking with them again, go through the door to find one of Palia’s famous sliding puzzles.
Auni will mention he tried to solve it but was unsuccessful, and Nai’o isn’t any help either. Luckily, this is one of the easiest ones to solve. Maybe Auni gave you a head start?
To solve the Prismbeard sliding puzzle, follow these steps:
- Second row, first tile: Slide right
- First row, first tile: Slide down
- First row, second tile: Slide left
- Second row, second tile: Slide up
- Third row, second tile: Slide up
- Third row, first tile: Slide right
- Second row, first tile: Slide down
- First row, first tile: Slide down
- Finally, each of the first row tiles you’ll slide left.

How To Find All The Prismbeard Treasure Maps
Once the sliding puzzle is solved, the image of Prismbeard will be revealed and start glowing, and a treasure chest will appear at your feet. Open it to find a treasure map, then show the map to Auni and Nai’o.
The map looks very similar to a location in Elderwood. This map specifically shows the Red Blossom Cave. The red X points to a location within the Red Blossom Cave where you’ll find your next clue.
When you get there, look for the graffiti of Prismbeard’s logo on one of the walls. Dig up the pile of dirt below it with your hoe to reveal the next clue.
This time you’ll head over to Jeunesse Pass. The spot you’re looking for will be at the northern corner of the pass, in a cave underneath.
This time the Prismbeard design is on the ground, and the dirt pile is next to it. As before, dig it up, and you’ll find yet another treasure map.
This is the third and final treasure map for this portion of the quest. The spot you’re looking for is on the western side of Mitana Grove, up on the cliff. When you dig up the dirt pile, you’ll reveal a note from Prismbeard, sending you back to the sliding puzzle you just solved.
Go back to the puzzle in the hidden cave, and when you interact with it select the phrase “A fitting reward for Prismbeard’s demise” to progress the quest.
A new chest will appear, and inside this one is the Pirate’s Spyglass.
To solve the next part of the quest, you’ll need to equip the spyglass. Open your character menu, and under Accessories is a new slot called Quest Gear. Click on this, then click on the spyglass to equip it.
How To Find Every Prismbeard Statue
With the spyglass equipped, you’ll now be able to see things that were previously hidden from the naked eye. For this quest, you’ll be able to see hidden clues that Prismbeard left behind.
The first thing the spyglass reveals is a gold and purple statue of Prismbeard at the base of the sliding puzzle. Interact with it to receive your first riddle:
Ye who seek treasure, ye who seek fame,
Ye who seek all under Prismbeard’s name,
Hear ye this tale as ye follow me past,
From the start of my journey ’til I breathed me last.
This will complete the Adventure On The Horizon quest and begin the next quest, The True Treasure. Your next step is to go talk to Caleri to learn about Prismbeard’s life, from when he was born to when he died.
She gives you some old newspaper plates about Prismbeard’s life, including images of different areas in Elderwood. These images will give you clues that correspond with the riddles you get from each Prismbeard statue, leading you to the next one.
After you check back in with Auni, follow the trail and check each of the locations mentioned in the newspaper plates. After you receive a riddle from a statue, check in with Auni and Nai’o before going to the next one.
Sometimes the brothers won’t appear on the map when it’s time to talk to them, but they will never be far from the last statue you spoke to, so just keep walking around that area and you’ll find them.
The statue at the sliding puzzle is considered the first statue and gives you your first riddle. After you get the newspaper plates from Caleri, your first task is to look for Prismbeard’s childhood home.
Here are all the statues and their locations:
Statue |
Clue |
Location |
---|---|---|
#2: Prismbeard’s Childhood Home |
The only clue is the image in the newspaper clippings, which shows some cliffs in Elderwood. |
Western side of Mauvais Way, nestled in the cliffs beside the Vieuxport Sea. |
#3: Where Prismbeard Sailed His First Ship |
“Next ye must take a little trip To the place where I sailed me first ship” |
You’re looking for a pond with a small dock. This pond is located at the northernmost part of Deep Woods, below Elderwood Stables. |
#4: The Dock Where Prismbeard Left |
“Next ye must find where I first set sail On this dock I once kept me lucky pail” |
The image in the newspaper clippings actually helps you out by naming De Mer Dock as the place where “young Zayid left by boat”. |
#5: Where Prismbeard Was Caught |
“Next ye must find where Prismbeard was caught There in the dark many fires were shot” |
If you check the fourth image in the newspaper plates, you might recognize the structures in the Elderwood Stables. Go here, and the statue is on the walkway above. |
#6: Where Prismbeard Escaped |
“Next ye must find where I made me escape T’was at that old tower where it all took shape” |
Your next stop is the pier in Mitana Grove. The statue is right in the center. |
#7: Eobard’s Revenge |
“Now ye must find where this chapter ends O’erlooking the ruins of Eobard’s Revenge.” |
This clue will lead you back to the cave where you started your journey. After you slide down the slope, walk up the path till you find a cliff overlooking everything below, and where you can clearly see the shipwreck. On the edge of the cliff is the final statue. |
How To Solve Prismbeard’s Final Puzzle
When you interact with the final statue, the riddle isn’t very important for the quest. But interacting with the statue will cause the door behind you to light up and unlock.
Through this door you’ll encounter Prismbeard’s final puzzle. Solving this puzzle will at last grant you Prismbeard’s treasure and the plunder you seek. It may seem daunting, but we’ve got the solution right here.
On the sides are four scrolls that each hold a clue to the puzzle. When you read the four clues, each one mentions a cardinal direction and a creature. Each dial is facing North, South, East, and West. To solve this puzzle, just turn the appropriate dial to the image mentioned in the scrolls.
The solution is:
- North: Siren
- East: Kraken
- South: Leviathan
- West: Charybdis
Once you have the dials set correctly, interact with the podium behind you to check your guess. As long as the dials are in the right places, the door will open to reveal your treasure!
There may be a glitch that, for some reason, doesn’t let you open the chest. Just keep reloading the area by leaving and coming back and eventually it should work properly.
