- Avoid the red vines in the statue room. They hurt.

What you do
Anca has been researching an old riddle left by a man named Enolf. You check two spots on the map, then follow a river northeast to a lake with Anca. From there you slip into ruins through a crack by a fallen column.

1. Return to Anca after her research. 2. Solve Enolf's riddle. 3. Return to Anca. 4. Follow Anca to the lake. 5. Find the Font of Life. 6. Explore the ruins.
Tips
Inspect the entrance painting, then the mortar, broken pot and painting inside with Focus Mode. Side rooms hold extra items. When you finish, Stronger Than Achilles starts on its own.
