Island Locale is the name of the fourth District unlocked and the fourth Town the Apprentice must rebuild. The District is located in the center of Alaria, south of (and across the river from) Meadow Quarters, and north of the Valley Province. It borders all the other Districts.
Locations
The Island Locale district is large, but narrow, being squeezed in among the other Districts. The largest natural feature is, of course, the giant stone arch that looms over the District, with one foot in the Valley Province, and the other landing in Meadow Quarters. In addition, the river that runs through the center of Alaria, cuts directly through the District, surrounding the Town area. The District is known to include four noted locations. There are three Caves, a Vault and a Nature Reserve. Many Chests, including locked Iron and Gold ones, are scattered about, as well as a few Journals detailing lore of events from before the beginning of the game.
Island Locale' noted locations consist of:
- Island Locale (town)
- Nature Reserve
- Vault of Warning
- Mother's Embrace - from town, head southeast and head past the ancient ruins. Follow the winding path northeast up the hillside, following the dirt road until you reach the Mother's Embrace cave flanked by two statues
| There are no secrets in the Island Locale. There are, however, a few caves. One of which is Mother's Embrace, above.
The secret cave of the Yodeling Appreciation Society found here is a lava-filled deathtrap. Oh the horror! Not the lava, the yodeling. The other cave is hidden behind a secret door that must be unlocked with two batteries. A pressure plate puzzle is the reward here. |
Town
The Town of Island Locale is located in the northern part of the District. The entire town is surrounded by the river, so access is granted by one of several bridges (including a bridge that must be rebuilt first). The usual Dock and Town Square can be found, with the Dock directly adjacent to the south of the Town Square, and the Everkin Door is adjacent to the north of the Town Square. Additionally, there are six other blockers besides the Dock to be removed or rebuilt:
- Small Rock Pile - Northeast of the Town Square, costs 312
to remove. - Small Rock Pile - Northeast of the Town Square, costs 312 to remove.
- Large Rock Pile - Northeast of the Town Square, costs 468 to remove.
- Abandoned Skyship - Due north of the Town Square, costs 312 to remove (don't forget to collect the chest!)
- The Withering - Just south of the Town Square, costs 468 to remove.
- The Bridge - Northeast of the Town, rebuilding it, which costs 300 , will grant land access to the Forest Region.
