  • Talk to Velorina again. (Chat 1)

  • Climb up a ladder to the ship deck. Then, climb another ladder to get to the ship quarterdeck.
  • Wait for the wind speed to drop to low, and search the mast multiple times to find out what colour the three components of the flag are.
  • Dye the model ship's flag the right colours, mixing dyes as needed.

The approximate location of the book.

Important: Make sure you have a spade and treasure map in your inventory, or you will not be able to complete the next part and will waste your 25 ecto-tokens.
  • Head back inside Port Phasmatys again, and go south-east onto the docks. Take the small rowing boat to Dragontooth Island which is south-east at the docks.
  • Once there, use the map to find the treasure starting at the statue (or use the image on the right to find it). Dig with your spade, and you will find the Book of haricanto.
