Follow the three clues
- Go southeast of Rukh Cave and inspect the land between the two differently sized circular ponds.
- Follow Olderion’s eastern coast southwest of Squall’s sanctum, around the grassy mountain indentations; search the sparkle beside the path.
- West of Olderion’s seven-waterfall area, cross two wooden bridges and climb the small grassy rise.
Finish the riddle
Return to Ruby Cave and inspect the epitaph again after the third pickup. Merely visiting the final waterfall landmark does not grant the summon. Check that the first reading activated the search if a fragment is absent. Ruby Fragments are separate from Tablet Shards; collecting one does not fill the other’s checklist. Other summon routes
