There are three hidden quests in total: One on Thorny Banks, near Fort Pinta; one on the road to Firgrove; one in Goldenleaves Forest.

The first hidden quest is a bottle floating in the water between two large stones in Thorny Banks.

Message in a Bottle

“A bottle! It looks like there is something in it… A letter. I have to read what it says…”

My dearest, I have just left Jorvik and did not have time to say goodbye to you. My parents got the message that we needed to return home at once and we had to take the very next boat off the island. I never got your address, so I threw this message in a bottle from the boat in the hope that it would reach you.

Your Anna

October 12, 1972

PS: Remember that little tree where we carved our names together at the edge of Hollow Woods? Visit the tree and think of me. Kisses!

Objectives: Find the tree in Hollow Woods that has a carving on it.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Fort Pinta

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The tree is on bluff and the best way to reach it is to approach from the south. I was facing the carving when I took the screenshot, so that should help you find the side of the tree it is on.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

“A carving!”

A Tree with Names

“Now we can see what it says…”

Landon + Anna – 1972

“Landon? Isn’t that the old guy with the sheep on Evergreen Fields? I will ride over to him with the letter. I wonder what he will say?”

Objectives: Ride with the letter to Landon by his sheep on Evergreen Fields.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Ride over to Landon and show him the letter.

Heya Rita! A letter? For me?

A Letter in a Bottle Response

Wow, Rita. It was a long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. Anna was an amazing person. We had a wonderful summer together but she was just gone one day. Wait a second while I read her letter…

Ahhh…

Oh. So that is what happened. I wonder what things would have been like if she had stayed… Or if I had received her letter thirty years ago.

But life is good anyways! I have my happy sheep and rabbits and I get to be outside and exercise every day.

But I need to answer her letter anyways and I’ll do it in the same way… With a letter in a bottle. Fate will decide if my message gets to her faster or not at all, Rita.

Here, take my answer. I have put it back in the same bottle. Throw it into the water by Fort Pinta so it follows the current back to Anna. Where is a good place? Ask James, he will know a good place.

Objectives: Speak with James in Fort Pinta about a good place to send a message in a bottle.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Go speak to James in Fort Pinta.

A good place to throw a message in a bottle? Hrmm?

______________

Throw the Message in a Bottle

Hmm. The docks near the bridge to Fort Pinta has to be the best place Rita. Almost right underneath the bridge where the Fort Pinta race goes. If you throw a bottle in there I can watch with my telescope to see that it is going the right way… Just to be sure the tide doesn’t bring it right back again.

Objectives: Throw the bottle in the water by the docks and speak with James.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Fort Pinta

Go to the little dock on the west side of Fort Pinta and throw the bottle from the end of the dock. Then return to James.

Hello again! Yes, I saw the bottle with my telescope. It hasn’t moved much yet but it is high tide right now. Come back tomorrow and I will let you know if it goes out with the tide later today.

Quest completed

Return to James tomorrow.

______________

Long Distance Delivery

No, sorry. It didn’t make it out. The bottle came back, Rita.

The tide didn’t take it out. Instead it dropped it back up on the beach again. I went down and picked it up… But I’m not sure what we should do now. How are we going to get it out far enough to make it leave the island?

Shoot it away? What, yes. There are a bunch of cannons here, that is true. But do you think the old cannons will still work? Okay. Why not. We’ll try it!

Up in the tower over the disco there is an old container with gunpowder in it that we can use to load a cannon. Go get some gunpowder and I’ll try to find a cannon that isn’t rusted through. 

Objectives: Fetch gunpowder from the container in the tower above the disco then go talk to James again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Fort Pinta

Take the door next to the staircase going down to the beach. Take the circular stairs up into the town and pick up the gunpowder from the keg. When you have the gunpowder, return to James.

Good. Now we are ready to launch the bottle. I hope this works and we don’t blow up Fort Pinta. My insurance definitely won’t pay for that!

Quest completed

______________

Cannon Mail

Now I’ve got it! The cannon in the tower! The top of the tower over the disco has a cannon that is in perfect condition, Rita. It is aimed out over the ocean and isn’t rust at all. How do you get there? Ride back up on the wall and take the stairs to the next level, as far up as you can go. That is where the cannon is. 

Shoot the bottle out of the cannon and come back later and tell me about it. Good luck!

Objectives: Shoot the bottle out of the cannon. The cannon is at the top of the tower over the disco. Speak to James afterwards.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 40 with Fort Pinta

Go back up into the tower, and immediately outside of the first room, turn towards the water and the stair is along the outside wall. Up on top of the roof is the cannon. Dismount your horse to prepare the cannon.

Load the bottle into the mouth of the cannon, pack the gunpowder into the rear of the cannon, then light the fuse!

When you have shot the cannon, return to James.

Wow Rita! BOOM! What an explosion!

Look I can already see it floating away over the horizon in my telescope. Now we cross our fingers that it makes it to Landon’s old girlfriend.

Grateful for an Answer

I think you should ride back to Landon and tell him what we did. I’m sure he would love to know.

Have a great day Rita!

Objectives: Ride back to Landon and tell him about his bottle.

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP, Mail Order Blanket

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

Take the news back to Landon.

Hi there Rita! Oh thank you! What a great idea to shoot it out of a cannon. I just hope the bottle gets to her faster than hers got to e.

And you, as token of my appreciation I would like you to have this blanket. I ordered it through the mail thinking it would be good for my sheep when it has been sheared… So it wouldn’t get cold. But the sheep is so well insulated they definitely don’t need it. You can have it instead, it will look good on Summerblaze.

Bye bye for now!

Address Guessing

I must have lost this one… Where did you say you found it? On the road to Firgrove? Wait… Let me take a closer look…

Hmm… The only part of the address I can make out is “F…y.” Who can this be to? Rita, can you help me figure out who this person is? You will?

Thank you so much!

Objectives: Find the person who should get the package. The address isn’t readable but you can just make out that it is a name that starts with “F” and ends with “Y.”

Rewards 45 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP, Mail Order Saddle

Reputation: 30 with Firgrove

The only person in the game whose name fits this description is Felicity, in Firgrove. Take the package to her.

Heya Rita! Aha! Look at that! The saddle I ordered! Wow… that was a long time ago. Look here, I’ve already got another new one from the mail order company. But it was really nice of you to ride all the way over here to give it to me Rita. You know what? You take the saddle instead. You’ve earned it by being so kind!

See you later!

This is the location of the last quest, in Goldenleaves Forest. It is a small mound of dirt, and can be found if you head straight back into the forest from the road entering the valley.

Shovels Get the Job Done

Here is a shovel, Rita. I have a whole bunch of these so I don’t want it back when you are done with it.

Unfortunately, that barn over there is completely full of shovels since I clicked on the zero key one too many times when I was ordering shovels on the internet. I have ten thousand shovels now… What were they thinking? That I was trying to set a world record in hole digging?

Objectives: Dig up the hole in Goldenleaf Forest.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

He is the person we read about in math problems…

A Nice Crowbar Solves All Sorts of Problems

Here is a crowbar. Bring it back when you are done.

Objectives: Open the chest in the smuggler’s cave with the crowbar.

Reputation: 50 with The Goldenleaves

Dismount your horse to use the crowbar. When you have opened the chest speak to Bob.

Hey! That is our treasure!

Rob, you said you had forgotten where you buried it.

That is great you found it again Rita. It is old returns we were supposed to send back to that post-order company. We don’t earn as much money as we used to smuggling so we have to do some extra work sometimes. Rob buried the returns instead of sending them back… So we lost that job… But let’s see what was in it…

Look at that Rita. There is something for you, a high-quality bridle for your horse. Take it as thanks for helping us out.

Goodbye.
