Nivalis Nights Seafaring Quest and Third Treasure Route

Nivalis Nights Seafaring is Salt Pete's boat and treasure quest chain. After the first sailing objectives, return to Pete and follow the active journal entry through the oil rig, Calypso Island and Caleb Foamheart. The third treasure involves the fallen ruins reached by going through the sewers toward an outlet into the sea. Use your boat scanner to find the fishing target, then check that the quest advances after the catch.

If you are stuck at the third piece, look for the long passage that actually opens onto outside water, rather than repeatedly taking a flashing transition into another area. The nearby fallen structures and crane are useful landmarks. The route below uses landmarks instead of unverified map coordinates. On an older build, update first: October 5 Update #3 fixes a conflict between two treasure fishing spots that prevented a related quest from progressing.

Match the route to your current objective

Open the quest journal before leaving a dock. Seafaring includes sailing introductions, treasure fishing and several return conversations. Having a boat does not mean you are already at the third-treasure stage, and finding an interesting wreck does not mean the game is currently asking you to retrieve its object.

Use the wording on your current objective as the deciding signal. The table compresses the route for travel planning; it does not replace the conversations that move you from one stage to another. If the journal still says to return to Pete, do that before spending another trip scanning a later location.

This guide does not assign a skill-level requirement, a fixed wait time or a reward amount to Seafaring. Those details are not established for this walkthrough. The practical objective is to complete the active quest actions and get the next journal entry, rather than trying to raise a presumed sailing skill until a marker appears.

Start with Salt Pete and the first voyage

The beginning of Seafaring directs you to meet Salt Pete at the Docks, board the boat, take the wheel and discover a new area. If you have not reached ownership and registration yet, use the first-boat guide. That page covers the initial handover and docking controls in detail.

Salt Pete's straw hat and round eyes help identify the character you return to between the early treasure stages. This view is for identification, not a treasure-location marker.

Once you have completed the first sailing objective, return to Pete. The next conversation introduces the treasures, followed by a stage saying that he will contact you. Complete the dialogue instead of assuming the first voyage automatically makes every treasure target ready.

Keep the boat introduction separate from treasure retrieval. You do not need to collect the third piece to obtain the first boat. Conversely, being able to steer does not establish that the treasure conversation has happened. If the quest seems ahead of or behind the route you expected, the journal and the most recent conversation are the best checkpoints to inspect.

At the contact stage, follow the information from Pete and Ava. Wait for Pete to contact you, and use the current journal objective to decide when to begin the oil-rig search. If it still shows the contact stage, check the new message and conversation before making that trip.

Find the first treasure near the oil rig

The first treasure objective names the old oil rig. Travel there with your boat and listen to Ava's scanner explanation. The next action is to locate the treasure signal and fish for the target; simply arriving near the structure is not the whole objective.

Use the scanner to narrow the search. Player reports describe a directional yellow arc leading to a green fishing-target circle when close enough. Treat the scanner and current fishing interface together: the directional cue helps you approach the search area, while the target circle gives you somewhere to place the cast.

The catch must be the quest object. In the first stage, players distinguish an Old Android Head from android hands caught as junk. Picking up hands is not proof that the head objective has completed. Check the item's name and your journal before leaving, rather than treating any mechanical-looking catch as the required treasure.

If you obtain the expected object, look for the updated return instruction and go back to Salt Pete. Do not sell an unfamiliar catch first and investigate its quest role later. Keeping it until the conversation resolves avoids losing track of which object you retrieved and why the journal is still waiting.

Cast into the marked fishing area

The boat's position and the fishing cast solve different parts of the search. Community guidance says the boat can be inside or outside the circle, but the bait needs to land in it. The useful check is therefore the landing point of your cast, rather than whether the entire boat is centered on the marker.

1. Follow the scanner toward the indicated search area.
2. Slow your approach so you can inspect the nearby fishing target.
3. Position yourself for a cast into the marked circle.
4. Retrieve and inspect the catch.
5. Read the journal for a return instruction or another remaining search objective.

A fish or junk catch can show that you are fishing successfully without being the quest's required object. If the journal does not change, check the target and item before deciding the whole quest is broken. Do not use the catch's sale price as a rule for identifying a quest treasure; this walkthrough does not establish a universal value threshold.

For fishing controls and the general scanner workflow, use the fishing guide. Here the important difference is the quest state: you are trying to retrieve the object named by the active Seafaring stage, not simply gather fish for a venue or earn money from ordinary catches.

Return to Pete before the Calypso Island search

After the first treasure, return it to Salt Pete and continue the conversation. The second search points to the waters around Calypso Island, again using the boat's scanner. Do not assume the next piece shares the first location simply because the fishing action is similar.

Approach the named area, scan and follow the signal until you can identify the marked fishing target. Read the current objective before casting. This guide does not supply a verified exact dock coordinate or a confirmed second-item display name, so the area instruction, scanner and journal are more reliable than an invented item checklist.

When you make a catch, check whether the quest now says to return the treasure. If it does, go back to Pete instead of continuing to fish the same spot for a second object. The return conversation is a progression step, not just optional flavor after a successful catch.

The later conversation leads to Caleb Foamheart at the Mountain Town Boat Hangar. Follow that stage before treating the sewers route as your next required trip. Moving directly from Calypso Island to a third-treasure landmark may leave you searching for something the current quest has not yet asked you to find.

Speak to Caleb at the Mountain Town Boat Hangar

Once the journal directs you to Caleb Foamheart, travel to the Mountain Town Boat Hangar and complete the relevant conversation. This is the transition between the early return-to-Pete sequence and the final treasure search. A second treasure in your inventory does not replace the named character interaction.

Read the dialogue through to the next objective. The third stage points toward fallen ruins and includes Ava's guidance about the north. Use that clue as part of the search area, while keeping the local route landmarks below in mind. A compass direction without an agreed starting point can easily lead you away from the passage demonstrated by players.

Reach the third treasure outside the sewers

Begin the third search from the sewers and look for a long water passage that leads outward. The useful distinction is between an actual opening toward the sea and a flashing transition that sends you into another area. Repeating the wrong transition can keep you moving between locations without reaching the ruined structures used as the landmark.

Player route descriptions agree on a long passage toward the west from within the sewers, followed by the outside wreckage. One describes turning toward a tilted, partly submerged structure shaped like an A; another identifies a crane fallen toward the water. Use those structures to recognize the vicinity, not as surveyed coordinates or a guaranteed distance from the entrance.

Once outside, use the scanner around the fallen ruins. If the first nearby signal produces an ordinary catch and the quest stays on the third treasure, inspect the adjacent or overlapping target instead of immediately leaving the whole area. A demonstrated route continued to another nearby signal before retrieving the piece.

There is no confirmed mandatory time of day or fishing-rod upgrade for this route in the supplied material. Do not spend time waiting for a guessed hour or purchasing a presumed required rod simply because a video used one. The concrete checks are the active third-treasure objective, the correct outside outlet, the ruins, the scanner target and the catch that advances your journal.

Finish the Captain sequence and final conversations

After the third treasure, follow Complete the Captain in the quest journal. The remaining chain includes Tell Salt Pete the Truth and another conversation with Caleb Foamheart. Retrieving the last object is therefore not the only endpoint to check.

Use the journal to identify the next person or interaction. This guide avoids inventing a precise dialogue choice, a friendship gain or a reward for the ending. The supported instruction is to complete the named follow-up stages and check that the Seafaring entry resolves after the final conversation.

If you want to avoid story spoilers, stop reading ahead once you have the third search route and return to the game's own dialogue for the conclusion. The travel and scanner steps can get you past the location problem without prescribing an unsupported outcome for every choice in the final exchange.

Diagnose a treasure stage that will not advance

Check the game build first. Update #2 changed the treasure fishing icon, and Update #3 fixed a conflict between two treasure fishing spots. An early screenshot or launch-week report can therefore describe an interface or blocker that differs from an updated installation. The official fix does not prove every later stalled save has the same cause.

Then identify the smallest failed checkpoint. If the journal asks for Pete, return to him. If it asks for Caleb, go to the boat hangar. If it asks for a treasure, check the named area, scanner target and actual item. If you have caught the first-stage android hands rather than the head, the distinction explains the stall without requiring a save-variable edit.

For a third-stage search, verify the outside outlet before repeatedly reloading. If the target is correct but the catch is wrong, inspect nearby signals and confirm the cast lands in the circle. Keep a manual save before further troubleshooting, and record the current objective and item names so you can distinguish a route mistake from a repeatable progression problem.

If the updated game still will not advance after the appropriate catch and conversation, use the stuck-quest guide. A useful report includes the game build, active objective, location, catch and actions already tried. Do not declare the save permanently broken or edit internal quest flags solely because an older player encountered a similar launch-week symptom.

Route references and update notes

The third-treasure route video demonstrates the outside outlet, ruined structures and nearby signals. The quest-objective reference lists the Pete and Caleb stages; it is an independent reference. Player route discussion supplies landmark checks, not guaranteed coordinates. Use the official Update #3 notes for the treasure-spot conflict fix.
