To solve the Buried Sword Strange Tales in Neverness to Everness, you need to find three items: Broken Blade, Broken Guard, and a Broken Hilt. Afterward, submit them back to the rock in the eastern part of Sunni Island. Unfortunately, you won't get the sword as a reward, but you will complete the Strange Tales, nevertheless.

The Secret Tales of the Golden Tree can be found on the northeastern small land of Sunni Island in Neverness to Everness. Teleport to Sunni Island Rero Rero Phonebooth, then drive any of your NTE vehicles to the location. Upon arriving, you'll find a sword stuck in a stone. It needs three items to be fixed.

If you wish to find them yourself, read the golden tree engravings to get a hint of the items' locations, and if you don't, just follow this article.

However, remember to adjust the time to nighttime before you begin your search, since the Broken items will only be found during that time. They're always next to a glowing golden tree​​​​​​, which only shines gold at night.

Once you've collected all three Broken pieces, go back to the stone's location in NTE, adjust the time to daytime, then place them in place. This will complete the Secret Tales of the Golden Tree, increase your Sunni Island footprint point, and make the sword and the three trees around it glow gold.

The Secret Tales of the Golden Tree Broken Hilt Location

The first Broken Hilt is south of the Sunward Resort in NTE. To reach it, teleport to Sunni Island Rero Rero Phonebooth, then move south behind the central building. Locate the golden tree and grab the Broken Hilt next to it.

Fast travel to the same teleportation point, but this time head north-west to find the Broken Guard in Neverness to Everness. Do the same as before: look for the glowing golden tree and get the item by its side.

The Secret Tales of the Golden Tree Broken Blade Location

Once you've collected both, drive up to the north-eastern part of Sunni Island, where the Dance Dance Dance Strange Tales is located, then look for the golden tree there to get the Broken Blade.
