How to Reach
Sail from the Main Port
Start your journey from the main port and head east. As you approach Ancient Isle, reduce speed to avoid the dangerous whirlpools and dynamite barrels that can damage your boat.
Navigate via Map
Use your in-game map to plot a course directly to Ancient Isle. Ensure your boat is well-prepared for the journey, as the eastern seas are treacherous.
Fragments
Ancient Isle is home to several unique fragments that are essential for unlocking hidden secrets on the island. The Deep Sea Fragment can be found at the base of the waterfall, a spot also known for excellent fishing. For those seeking the Solar Fragment, it's located at the top of the island's pond but can only be accessed during an Eclipse event.
Players can also find the Ancient Fragment randomly while fishing, though it's recommended to fish in specific areas for a higher chance of success. The elusive Earth Fragment, currently unavailable, was previously hidden in a cave behind the island. This cave is also the place to purchase the Eclipse Totem and Phoenix Rod.
Once players collect all fragments with their friends, they can access the Ancient Archives by solving a rotation puzzle. This requires standing on pressure plates and placing fragments in the correct poles, lighting up the entrance with vibrant colors to unlock it.
