The north beach, as the name suggests, is at the very north of the island.
There is a wrecked rowboat on the northern beach of the island. There is very little left of this vessel.
There is a little island offshore on the north east side of Old Faithful Island. It’s basically a jumble of rocks with not much sand.
Another lonely isle is off the north west side of the island. This one has a palm tree on it as well as a bit more sand.
The entwined trees are on the north east section of the island. The easiest way to find them is from the north beach. Run up the island (going south) and pass over a barricade to find them.
The gatehouse is on the eastern side and can be reached from the eastern beach. It leads up to the heart of the island, which is where you’ll find the next few locations.
The platform flanked by burning fires is found on the eastern side of the island, on the top. The best way to find it is to start on the eastern beach, use the natural ramp to go up through the gatehouse, and then stick to the left-hand side to wrap around some rocks and into an arena-looking area.
The boar shrine is along the side of the main peak of the island. It’s quite close to the two trees that are wrapped around together from a previous clue.
This watchtower is the tallest on the island and is right near the boar shrine.
The fort gatehouse is in the center of the island, up high. It’s right near the main arch in the middle of Old Faithful. Your clue may say “south”, and it technically is, but it feels more like the center of the island.
Old Faithful Isle has a massive arch in the middle. Go through it and look along the eastern wall to find a passage that leads to a cave. It’s rather sneaky.
Old Faithful Isle’s main arch is where you will need to go to find this passage. It’s at the very top of the island, so get running!
The main arch on Old Faithful Isle is the location you’re looking for here. You can reach the top using the natural ramp on the east or work around from the west.
The highest point on the island is on top of the arch on Old Faithful Isle.
The intrepid climber made it all the way to the top of Old Faithful Isle, and so will you if you want to find his bones.
The skull pile is a shrine of skulls with a painting on the top of Old Faithful Isle, but on the western side. This is easiest to find if you go to the very top where the arch is.
There is a secret beach on the north west side of Old Faithful Isle. You can reach it from any direction, but an easy one is to start at the south beach and follow the path up to your left (the west), keeping close to the edge – you’ll eventually walk down a valley to the beach.
The monstrous skull of a kraken is on the western cliffs of Old Faithful Isle.
There is a prisoner’s cage on the western side of the island. This one is difficult to find. To reach it, start at the southern beach and follow the path up to the west. Stick to the right-hand wall and you’ll come across a path leading into the island – follow this to reach the prisoner.
While there are a lot of paintings on Old Faithful Isle, you’ll likely need to find the one of the shark tale. This is on a rocky peak near the upper areas of the island. Your best bet is to get into the center near the arch, and then just work your way south.
The murky pool is on the south east side of the island. It’s on an upper area, overlooking the ocean.
The white flag is on the southern side of the island, below an archway. The flag is by a platform with a bunch of barrels.
There is a buoy washed up on the southern beach. It’s right by the water’s edge.
The towering cliffs of the south beach are where you’ll find this riddle's location. Anywhere along the southern beach ought to do it.
There is another isle on the south west of Old Faithful Isle. This one has quite a lot of palm trees and sand surrounding it.
This cave is above the shipwreck on the south east beach.
The eastern beach is home to a few of the following items like the shipwreck, the anchor, as well as a whole lot of fortifications.
Look for the anchor on the south east beach, right near a shipwreck.
This old shipwreck on the eastern beach has its mast leaning up against a rock, it’s also got an anchor nearby.
