|
Clue |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Did I leave it under the windmill with a view of the Styx? |
You're going to need to go to The Other Windmill Landmark, which overlooks the River Styx just south of Lavish Lair. |
|
Maybe on a grassy island in the center of everything? |
You might think it would be the island east of Restored Reels where an Earth Shrine sits. But you're . It's the smaller island just southeast of the shrine. |
|
I left it near the snow, where people bury yummy bones too. |
You'll find the next spot behind the house at The Cemetery. |
Stage 4 — Dig Up The Artifact
Now that you've located the spots Cerberus told you about, your job now is to dig them up in hopes of finding the Artifact in one of them.
You will not, however, find the Artifact. Instead, you'll find:
- Spot 1 — Windmill: Cerberus' Spear
- Spot 2 — Island: Cerberus' Frisbee
- Spot 3 — Cemetery: Cerberus' Winged Shoes
During the course of stages three and four, you're given an optional Stage Four: Defeat Zeus and Ares! They Have The Artifact! If you complete the three steps to stages three and four, the optional fourth stage will auto-complete.
