Ancient Shores, occasionally referred to as "AS", is one of the primary islands and contains a story quest in which players can play through. The player is allowed to fish from this river at any time to obtain different fish from the rest of the island. The giant Goliath also resides on this island, giving a quest to enter this area's Special Fishing Area.
There are 2 hidden chests on this island.
The Index Reward for Ancient Shores is the Crystal Skull Rod.
Lost Ark (Special Fishing Area)[]
Players can gain access to the Lost Ark by talking to the Giant named Goliath hidden on Ancient Shores. Talking to the gentle giant will give the player a mini-quest of catching 20 fish in exchange for the special item 'Goliath's Dumbbell'. This dumbbell is required to weigh down the pressure plates hidden around Ancient Shores. Upon stepping on each pressure plate and opening the hidden temple, players will be randomly selected to complete one of two different puzzles to access the Special Fishing Area. Upon completing the Lost Ark questline, players will never need to gather fish for Goliath's Dumbbell and find the pressure plates again.
Pressure Plate Locations[]
- near Goliath
- on a cliff overlooking Poperson's Balloon
- hidden on the back of the island's shore
The first available puzzle is a memory game, in which the player will be tasked to active 8 stone tiles. There is a pattern the stone tiles follow, and stepping onto the wrong one will reset the player's progress. Finding the pattern and activating all eight tiles will activate the crystal in the center.
The second available puzzle is an obby, in which players are tasked to rotate mirrors to allow a beam of light to activate a crystal. There are three mirror obbies that can be randomly chosen, but each will be required to be completed in under two minutes or the player will have to try again.
Completion of one of these puzzles will allow access to the Special Fishing Area for 5 special fish not catchable anywhere else on Ancient Shores. Completion of this quest is required for Index completion.
