Melkor's Tomb (location)

Melkor's Tomb is a hidden area in Aurelia needed for advancing quests, fishing, alchemy and unlocking Erza. This area can be unlocked as soon as you can explore Ivy's room.

Here you'll find a number of important interactibles for advancing Ivy, Scarlet, Lily and Erza's quests.

How to unlock the area
To find it you need a map that's located in the attic. The attic access door can be found in Ivy's room, but to open it, you need a key. This key is the Clock's key found on the Grandfather clock in your room. To get the key you need to find a series of notes hidden in the house (1-5 to 5-5). These notes reveal a sequence of symbols that match the ones found on the clock.

By turning the hand on the clock in the same order as the symbols found on the notes, you'll get the Clock's key. Now visit Ivy's room, on the ceiling there's a trap door with a string attached to it. Click on that and you'll unlock the attic. You'll get an Ancient Map and some other items. The Ancient Map will add the location of Melkor's tomb on your map.

Interactibles

 * Brightbugs (yellow beads on the left side of the screen) - Requires a bottle to capture. Each bottle captures one. Bottles can be bought from Janet for 40G each. Used as bait to catch frogs, piranhas and sturgeons in Fishing
 * Ancient Sap (roots on the right side of the screen next to Melkor's statue) - Requires a bottle to collect. Each bottle collects one. Bottles can be bought from Janet for 40G each.
 * Melkor's Statue - Protected by a barrier. Can't interact with it until we get the quest Scarlet's lost dagger
 * Small Effigy (small statue above the Sarcophagus) - Needs a Silver Crest to interact with, which will free Erza. Part of one of Ivy's quests
 * Erza - one of the characters in our journal
 * Melkor's Sarcophagus - Can't interact with it until we free Erza, feed her twice, then leave and return. Clicking it lets you enter Melkor's Realm

Glyph minigame
To unlock the minigame you must progress Scarlet's questline until she asks you to find her lost dagger. Click on Melkor's statue to begin. To beat it, we need to click on the Rune in the column that matches the Rune being displayed above. Beat all the levels to disable the barrier. You get the achievement Rune master for completing it
