"[...] I will give you my old notebook from my travels. It will guide your way to an island of a friend. He will help you to prepare for what is coming. I know I'm asking too much of you... but this is the only way... to stop Oceanhorn."

Hero Approaches Hermit's Island

Description[]

Map-universal-OH

The island is fairly small, but it still features green hills, trees, come caves and small white beaches. There is a smaller, second island connected by a wooden bridge, where the pier and the Kid's sailboat are located.There is only one permanent inhabitant on this island: Hermit. Hermit has a designated picnic area high up on Sonson Cliff behind his hut.

History[]

When Rodgar the Curious died, he was buried in an elaborate tomb deep in the chambers under the island.

Hermit and his friend, Teppo the Archaelogist arrive to this small island in search of the Great Chronicler's Grave. While Teppo ventures into the caves belong the island, Hermit sets up the camp and keeps a record of their findings. Shortly before the Kid arrives to the island, Teppo dies. His grave is on a small hill behind Hermit's Hut.

The Kid is guided here by his father's notes, after his father left unexpectedly to deal with Oceanhorn. After some time his mother's necklace guides him to his father's weapons in a nearby cave and moves Hermit to instruct the boy on how to help his father and stand up tall against his fateful ties to Oceanhorn. The Kid leaves the island with his sailboat.

After retrieving the Emblem of Earth, Hermit asks the Kid to come by to retrieve a package lost in the well.[1] He discovers th Great Chronicler's Grave and is able to recover an ancient store cube that once belonged to Archimedes himself. Leaving Hermit to study the contents of the store cube,[2] the Kid departs again to find the Emblem of Ocean.

After having acquired the Emblem of Ocean also, the Kid returns to Hermit's Island again as to his request. He is tasked to find a stool, a travel bed, a burning firebowl and a weather cuckoo. The previous items are all Hermit's Island, but for the weather cuckoo, the Kid has to travel to Tikarel, where he can take the one of Meeto's roof. With that in tow, he returns to Hermit's Island. According the Achimedes's plan, Hermit builds a small airship out of the Kid's sailboat, allowing him to lift of towards Sky Island, where the last Emblem is to be found: The Emblem of Sun.

When Sky Island descends back into the ocean, Hermit urges the Kid to stock up before facing Oceanhorn. The Kid can return to Hermit's Island anytime.
