Tales of the Shire: Nora’s Riddles Guide
Nora’s riddles in Tales of the Shire are a cozy side quest chain that has you helping Daisy Took solve three short puzzles. These riddles focus on exploring Bywater and finding hidden spots that are not marked on the map, giving you a reason to explore beyond normal paths.
Riddle 1: In The Eye Of The Lake
The first riddle says, “In the eye of the lake, there stands a tree. And in its roots, you’ll find what you seek.”
This points to Cotton Farm Lake in the southern section of the map. Use the stepping stones to reach the small island in the center of the lake. Inspect the tree stump there to trigger the cutscene with Daisy and complete the riddle.
Riddle 2: In The Heart Of The Forest
The second riddle says, “In the heart of the forest, it calls. Where the river doesn’t run, it falls. Where the water doesn’t babble, it roars.”
Head east from the first riddle location until you find a waterfall area near where the road crosses the river. Interact with the glowing marker to complete this step and move on to the final puzzle.
Riddle 3: A Traveller Without Foot Or Wheel
The third and last riddle says, “A traveller without foot or wheel, its journey done, now resting its keel.
This points to an overturned rowboat near Old Noakes’ fishing spot. Go west of his jetty until you find the boat on land. Interact with the glowing marker to finish the quest chain.
