Search the area for a way to continue through Skull Rock

You’re stuck again, so you need tosearch around the new areato find a way forward. Approach therockslocated on the left side of where The Forgotten is standing and use yourRoyal Pickaxeto break them.

When you break the rocks near the very edge of the small cliff you’re on, you’ll find some Pixie Dust and a Rope Wench on the ground. Pick these items up and return to The Forgotten to discuss what you found.

Follow the Pixie Dust Orb in Skull Rock

When you broke the rocks, aPixie Dust Orbgot free, and you now need tofollow the Pixie Dust Orbtopick up all the Pixie Dustit drops. Like thePixie Dust Orbsyou chased around in an earlier quest, this one moves fast and can be easy to lose sight of, so move quickly and carefully to keep up with it.

Gather the Pixie Dust

There aresix locationswhere the Pixie Dust Orb stops to drop some Pixie Dust for you to pick up. If you end up losing sight of it, here’s where to find each one.

Use the Pixie Dust to make something fly

Exit the tunnel and approach theshipon the left side of the first floor. There’s a note way up on the third level near The Forgotten that mentions sprinkling Pixie Dust on a ship, but you don’t need to actually read this message to tackle the next part of this quest.

Approach the ship by going up the pier and interact with it totransfer the Pixie Dustyou found. As soon as you do, the ship will soar up high into the air so you can progress to the next step of this quest.
