Lighthouse Keeper quest: find the dark sea patch near Mel’s shell house
Look south, or slightly southwest, of Mel’s shell house for a dark circular patch of sea. That landmark answer solved the original player’s Lighthouse Keeper quest after they had searched around the island where they had rescued Mel.

Find the dark circular patch
- Use Mel’s shell house as the starting landmark.
- Search the sea immediately to its south and slightly southwest for the darker circular area.
- At that location, follow the spell instruction already given by your Lighthouse Keeper quest.
If you have been searching the rescue island
The question describes that same detour. The successful reply redirects attention to the sea beside the shell house, not another route around the rescue island. It supplies a visual landmark, not map coordinates or a new spell-unlock requirement. The discussion does not name the final spell or show its input sequence, so use your current journal rather than an invented button combination.
