When you first discuss this quest with Mother Gothel, she’ll tell you that the old bones are in Sunlit Plateau’s mines. She also provides some directions to find them, but outside of this, you only have a little information to lead you on the right path.

To start, head into Sunlit Plateau and enter Vitalys Mines. For a memory refresher, this is the mine located along the northern cliff walls. You’ll find a log entrance surrounded by small waterfalls leading into the dark abyss. From here, you’ll have to follow the path as outlined by Mother Gothel:

  • Upon entering, take a left turn and run forward
  • Run for a bit past the wooden crates and pillars, staying on the right side of the passageway
  • Turn right once you see the entranceway surrounded by wooden pillars
  • At the fork, turn left

Once you make the final turn, you’ll find a small hallway with several grey bricks piled on the ground and a Vitalys rock at the end. You’ll find the old bones on the ground here, which you’ll have to pick up to progress through the quest.
