Bonfire Strange Tales (Secret Message In A Bottle)

Here are the steps to solving the bonfire Strange Tales in Sunni Island in NTE:

  • Read the Secret Message in a Bottle (optional): The message will tell you to go to Breakwater Stone Boneyard and light the bonfire on the beach. The firestarter is in the storage box inside the wooden canoe nearby, and it will create a waterproof purple flame. Wait until the next rainy night, and talk to the person who shows up. The password, based on the message, is Daruga, but there won't be an option for this when you meet the figure.

Head to the Breakwater Stone Boneyard, which is on the western shore of Sunni Island.

Find the canoe with a box on it, then investigate the storage to get the firestarter. Once you get the item, approach the bonfire structure nearby.

Light up the purple flame, which is said to be "waterproof as all hell."

Skip the time in NTE to night, and choose the rainy weather.

Speak to the person, and he will ask for a code. The message in a bottle said the code is Daruga, but there's no such option, so choose the closest answer, Adurag. This is basically Garuda backwards.

Now that you have gained the trust of the figure, you need to decide what to do with him. Your choice here doesn't matter, so don't worry about which one you choose. For example, I chose to Let the Garuda go, and he gave me 1 Fons. Yeah, no kidding, 1 Fons. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with that.
