Obel Lake
When you go to this lake a funny creature asks you to find his monkey friend, do this and then he gives you cryptic clues to solve. Below is the rundown of what to do.
Obel Lake Quest :
Available When: Disc
Three (with Ragnarok)
Unavailable When: N/A
Rewards: Three Stars,
Luck-J Scroll
----------------------------------------------
Just north of Timber is Obel Lake. There's a small peninsula in the centre of
the lake where you can find hidden options if you search the edge of the
peninsula.
The options are "Throw a rock" or "Try humming". Choose "Try humming" until you'll encounter a shadowy creature in the water. Speak with the creature several times and it will ask you to do it a favour by finding its friend, Mr. Monkey. The creature will give you some clues to the whereabouts of Mr. Monkey.
Mr. Monkey is hiding in the forest near Dollet. Search the forest and find Mr. Monkey. When you find the monkey, throw a rock at him and return to Obel Lake. Speak with the creature again, several times, and this time it will tell you several cryptic clues. The clues given will be in random order. There's 7 clues and I will try to have them in order.
1. "You'll find something on an island east of
Timber"
2. "Mr. Monkey had a rock like this I think..."
3. "At the beach in Balamb something special washes ashore at times"
4. "There's also something on top of a mountain with a lake and
cavern"
------------------------------------------------
5. "Take some time off at Eldbeak Peninsula"
------------------------------------------------
6. "Back in the day, south of here, there used to be a small but beautiful
village surrounded by deep forests. Everyone lived a happy life there"
------------------------------------------------
7. "Take a break at the railroad bridge"
The first 4 clues is the first quest. You must find 4
different rocks in 4 different locations.
--------------------------
First Rock: A small island east of Timber, right next to the long bridge, is
where you'll find the first rock, with the inscription "R E A I D R"
Second Rock: Mr Monkey has this rock, but you cant get this rock unless youve
found at least one rock. Also you need to go back to Obel Lake and throw some
rocks until you get the message "The rock skipped many, many times".
Now go find Mr. Monkey again, he is still in the forest near Dollet. Keep
throwing rocks at Mr. Monkey until he throws a rock back at you with the
inscription "U R H A E O".
Third Rock: A beach near Balamb town is where you'll find the third rock.
There's a lot of rocks here so you'll have to search a few times until you get
the rock with the inscription "S T S L R M".
Fourth Rock: You must take your Ragnarok on top of a mountain called Monterosa
Plateau. It is located just south of Galbadia Garden. The easiest way to find it
is to follow the river from Winhill until you see a small waterfall at the end.
Search the area on top of the waterfall. You must fight off two birds that are
guarding the rock with
the inscription " E A S N P D".
After obtaining all 4 rocks, return to Obel Lake and
speak with the creature again. The rocks will be properly lined up for you to
decipher the message. Read from top to bottom starting from the right side.
The message is "Mordred Plains has Treasure".
Head for Mordred Plains and explore the area. Search the ground and you'll find
4 different coloured-faced rocks. Each one will tell you the whereabouts of the
treasure. Pay no attention to the other coloured rocks except for the red one.
The red coloured rock is a liar, so do the opposite of what it says. Keep
searching the ground until the red faced rock says "The treasure is not
here", you know you found the treasure. Search that same spot a second time
and you'll get the treasure, Three Stars, which can be used to teach a GF the
Expendx3-1 ability.
The 5th clue is the second quest.
--------------------------
Head for Eldbeak Peninsula. Search the tip of the Peninsula to find a pillar
with the inscription
"TRETIMEASUREATMINOFFDEISLE". What does it mean? According to the clue
you should, "Take some TIME OFF at Eldbeak Peninsula". So eliminate
the words TIME and OFF from the message and you get "TREASURE AT MINDE
ISLE". Search the Minde Isle to find a Luck-J Scroll. Gives a GF the Luck
Junction ability.
The 6th clue is the third quest.
--------------------------
This is referring to a weird shaped forest east of Edea's house with a sort of
round clearing in the middle containing a grassy area. If you land here and go
into the grassy part, Squall will mention that there is a lot of rubble around.
That is all you can do regarding this clue.
The 7th clue.
--------------------------
This clue is just a hint at the many hidden Draw Points that can be found on
railroad bridges.
