World Map Exploration: The Southern Isles

Complete Bounties #093, #094, #095 and find treasures like CAPPUCCINO x2 and Sage's Secret on Shipwreck Shore in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.

You can now head back and claim the bounties. If you have any full Merit Cards left you can now purchase a new Merit Award; Jolly Jack-Tar. This allows your ship to move faster, also making it easier to avoid any unwanted encounters with enemies. If you’ve been doing all errands and bounties so far, it’s the last award currently available. If your party members are exhausted from all the fights, head over to the Cat’s Cradle as well to heal up.

Shipwreck Shore Exploration:

Head to the piece of unexplored land to the northeast of Castaway Cove (where you fought the Collum), which is properly called ‘Shipwreck Shore’. The enemies here are BRUTAL, so it’s best to save your game and try to avoid them while searching for the following treasures. Remember that you can also run from enemies; it’s wise to do so around here.

Treasures:

• Enter the area through the arch on the south. Directly left/west of the arch (on the northern side) you can find [CAPPUCCINO x2] next to the curved rock wand.
• There’s a hidden Forest Glade on the top of the eastern plateau next to the arch. To get here, travel along the west side to reach the top of the hill, then move east over the arch and enter the forest. Inside the forest glade you can grab a [GAME PIE] from the regular chest, note down the existence of the purple chest, and stand next to the tree across these two chests, looking up to the pillar to the north to notice a green chest with a [SAGE’S SECRET] inside.
• The forage point just south of the hidden Forest Glade contains a [GNOMEBEARD], but it’s heavily guarded by enemies and might not be worth it at this point.
• It’s a little tricky to navigate towards it without getting into any fights, but the grassy ridge to the far southwest has [ANGULA x2].
• Approach the ruins to the north. While the building is inaccessible, the pillar directly south (on the right) marks [SEE-THROUGH PIE x2].
• Taking the arch near the beach as starting point, head all the way north to the second set of ruins near the mountains and inspect the big, partly buried rectangular stone to find [FISHBURGER x2].
• Head back to your ship and disembark at the shipwreck just on the eastern side of the beach, to the south. Search between the rocks on the southwest side of it to find [DUMBFLOUNDER x5].
• Disembark at the second shipwreck (just to the north of the first) and inspect the bottom side of its front to find [GLOWSHRIMP x5].
• There’s also a forage point up the mountain north of the second shipwreck that contains an [ANGULA], but the area is roaming with monsters, so it’s best to harvest it later.

While you can technically explore other areas of the world map at this point, doing so is very dangerous as the creatures will slaughter you with the blink of an eye. It’s better to sail to your destination, Hamelin.
