Starting The Hermit¶
This mystery starts in Acasa Marshes, by talking to, wouldn’t you know, The Hermit. You can find him not too far from where you start the region, so from the APC, head north, past the mass grave, until you reach the marshes. Go across the bridge to the north and head northwest until you reach the outskirts of Jova. On the road, go across the bridge to the northeast and stay on the road until you cross the second bridge next to the pylon.
Follow the road north while looking to the east, and you should notice a gap next to the boulder. Take the eastern path to find yourself at The Hermit’s hut. Speak to him, and he’ll mention his camera and how he wishes he had a better photo lens. This will begin the mystery.
(1 of 4) Head north across the bridge, and then go northwest until you reach the road outside Jova.
Finding the Photo Lens¶
The Photo Lens is located in the Talju region. If you don’t have access to the area yet, progress the main story until you do. When you get to Talju, you’ll begin in a scrapyard. Exit it by going under the western bridge to reach the streets. Follow the road north and then west until you reach a parked tank. Take the narrow path to the left of the tank to find the burning photo shop. Interact with the broken window to obtain the Key Item: Zoom Lens.
From the APC, go west under the bridge, north around the corner and then west again to find the photo shop.
Return to The Hermit¶
Follow the directions above to get back to The Hermit and trade the Zoom Lens to him. He’ll thank you for your efforts and tell you to come back again. Refresh the map by leaving and coming back, and go to The Hermit once more. This time, take a look at his photo board, and one of the new photos has the answer to the nearby Lymbic Puzzle (the center one).
Trade the Zoom Lens to The Hermit and refresh the map to get more photos on the photo board.
Solving The Hermit’s Lymbic Puzzle¶
To the south of The Hermit’s hut, you’ll find a puzzle. There are four pedestals, each with different symbols on it. You can rotate these pedestals clockwise and anti-clockwise to get a different symbol. Using the picture from The Hermit’s photo board, you want to match the symbols up with the pedestals. However, you will want to do this by going to the pedestal near the wall, turning around to face the pedestal, and then matching up the symbols with the photo. Use the image below for the correct answer.
Take a look at the center photo on the Hermit’s photo board for a clue on how to complete the puzzle.
Go around the outside of each pedestal, look at it, and rotate to the symbol above.

Upon completing the puzzle, a chest will appear in the center, giving you the following items.
