Nora’s Eye of the Lake riddle solution in Tales of the Shire
To solve the riddle Nora gave Daisy in Tales of the Shire, you need to find a lake area that looks like an eye on the map. The Shire is quite vast, and there are many water areas you can explore, so finding the right one for this clue is quite tough.
The riddle you’re given to work with is, “In the eye of the lake, there stands a tree, and in its roots, you’ll find what you seek.” Based on this, you know you’re looking for a tree and a lake, which describes just about every water pool around the Shire. There’s only one that truly fits the description for this quest, though, so it’s time to hunt down the right one.
In the eye of the lake, there stands a tree, and in its roots, you’ll find what you seek in Tales of the Shire
The lake that looks like an eye can be found near the very southern end of the map, fairly close to the Cotton family’s home. There’s only one water pool around this area, so once you’re in the right region, it’s fairly easy to spot.
This lake is an oval-shaped pool with a little island right in the middle of it. The idea is that the island is the pupil and the surrounding lake is the iris, but it only sort of looks like an eye when viewed on the map, so it’s not completely obvious that it’s the spot you’re looking for. There’s another lake way up north that also sort of matches the description, but the only one that counts for this task is the southern lake.
Once you spot the lake, look for the stone bridge leading across the water to a tiny island. Cross it and approach the white sparkles near the tree trunk in the middle of the small island. Interact with these sparkles to summon Daisy and show her that you’ve found the location from the riddle.
The only quest objective is to find the spot mentioned in the riddle, so once you’re done discussing this location, the Nora’s Riddles: Eye of the Lake quest will be complete. This isn’t the last riddle Daisy will need your help solving, though, so be prepared to tackle more tricky tasks after it.
