  • How To Complete Nora’s Riddles in Tales of the Shire

    As you settle into life in the village of Bywater in Tales of the Shire, you’ll meet various hobbits with distinct personalities and preferences. Each friend offers rewards for completing their personal quests. Little Daisy Took is one such hobbit, but her quests involve solving a series of tricky riddles.

    We’ll explain each riddle and how to solve them so you can earn rewards and help Daisy learn to read. No matter how much you enjoy riddles, completing these will make you quite the clever adventurer!

    Nora’s Riddle: The Eye of the Lake Solution
    The first of Nora’s riddles talks about the eye of a lake and a tree. Check your map and head to Cotton’s farm. Just south of the farm, you’ll see a small pond that looks like an eye, with a tiny island in the middle. Go there and examine the base of the tree stump to call Daisy. You’ll discuss the riddle and its solution together, completing the quest.

    Nora’s Riddle: The Water That Roars Solution
    The second riddle is also challenging. You need to find a place where water roars within the forest. There are several waterfalls in the area, making it tricky to choose. Open your map and look on the southeastern edge of the forest, just below Delphi’s house. There, you’ll find a gate blocking your path east and discover the source of the waterfalls. Investigate this spot to solve the second riddle and move on to the last puzzle with Daisy.

    Nora’s Riddle: The Traveller Solution
    The final riddle asks you to find a traveler that has no feet or wheels. It also mentions that this traveler is buried in the sand. Travel to Old Noakes’ place and follow the shoreline until you spot his overturned boat. Examine the boat and speak with Daisy about it. She’ll explain that the boat itself is the wandering traveler— it has no feet or wheels, but it helps people move around. With this, you’ll complete Daisy’s riddles and can proceed with other tasks in the village.

    How To Fish In Tales Of The Shire: Completing and Solving

    Hobbits enjoy many activities in Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game, from second breakfasts to relaxing afternoons in the fields. One favorite pastime is fishing, which helps you relax and gather useful ingredients for cooking.

    Learning to fish is simple, but becoming skilled takes practice. With mentors like Old Noakes in Bywater, you’ll become a fisher hobbit quickly. Here’s what you need to start your fishing adventure, where to fish around the Shire, and tips on finding rare fish.

    How To Fish

    As you play through the early quests, you’ll meet Old Noakes. This grumpy old hobbit will give you your first fishing rod and show you how to fish. At first, you can only fish at a few places, but more locations will unlock as you progress. Begin at Old Ruby’s Pond and the Stone Bridge Pool.

    If you’re unsure where to go, open your map and look for fish icons. To fish, select your fishing rod from the tool wheel, head to the water near the docks where shadowy fish icons swim, and cast your line. Fish bite quickly. When a fish takes the bait, press the right button to start reeling it in.

    The key to fishing is to keep the circle (your cursor or joystick) in the “sweet spot” — the center of the blue arc. Hold the input while reeling in the fish. Watch the color of the circle; if it turns red, stop reeling and relax the line for a moment before continuing. If the tension gets too high, the line will break, so be careful.

    Where To Find New Fish

    New fish can be found all over Bywater. The best way to find out where is to open your journal and go to the encyclopedia. Select the fish tab to see all 31 types of fish and get tips on what seasons and weather conditions they appear in.

    Once you catch a fish, its specific water location and the best time of day to find it will be recorded in your journal. The number of each fish you catch is tracked at the top of the entries, along with your biggest catch so far. Each entry also provides tips on how to prepare the fish when cooking, including which stations to use.

    What To Do With Fish

    Fish are a valuable resource in Bywater. Early on, they help you earn money and prepare simple meals for neighbors. Since there’s no stamina bar, it’s a good idea to catch as many fish as you can each day. Keep some for cooking, and sell the rest to buy seeds and planters for your home.
