Songs of Glimmerwick: Solve the Ghost Treasure Riddle
Read the clue and stone drawing in Ivarice’s Ochre Woods hideout, buy Alchemical Resonance for 300 Gold Petals, then pin and play it at the matching silver-carved stone near Rosewheat Fields. One recorded route shows the Moonstone being returned through Gloria and reported to Ivarice; other choice outcomes are not established here.
Start from Ivarice’s clue
The sources place Ivarice's early dialogue at different points: Fextralife says to visit him in the garden shed and offer help; Weki records the quest trigger at the Pumpkin Moon Festival, where he directs you through the shed to his old hideout. If no new shed dialogue appears, check your journal and the festival entry on the calendar. Fextralife places the hideout along a hidden path in Ochre Woods near a cairn. Read its clue—“Treasure untold, when silver fades to gold”—and inspect the drawing of the carved stone. The selected Part 6 frames show Ivarice in the shed in one playthrough, not a universal trigger for every save.
Use Alchemical Resonance on the marked stone
After finding the hideout note, speak with the Alchemist and purchase Alchemical Resonance for 300 Gold Petals when the option becomes available. Pin the score in your spell list, go to the matching silver-carved stone near Rosewheat Fields, and play the short song there. One Steam player reports that pin-and-play solved the riddle; another player with the same advice reports no effect, so this is a supported route rather than a guaranteed fix for every save. An inspected playthrough shows the stone turn gold and a blue stone emerge, followed by a Ghost Treasure update. The official Version 1.03 notes say Alchemical Resonance has no practiceable version; do not wait for a practice score to solve this clue. For the focused stone location and clue, continue to the Moonstone guide.
Follow the recorded return route
Pick up the Moonstone and continue following the quest. In one recorded playthrough, Ivarice asks for it to be returned to the Marywild house. The player speaks with Gloria; a “Moonstone removed” notice and a new quest update appear, then the player returns to Ivarice and continues the conversation. The inspected footage does not confirm the precise dialogue choices, a mana change, the name or effect of any ability, or the final completion state. It also does not show what happens if you keep the stone or lie, so those outcomes are intentionally left open.
Check back with Ivarice the next day
The written walkthroughs say to return to Ivarice the following day and continue his conversation. They differ on the finish: Fextralife says the quest completes when he names a 1,000-petal fireplace repair, while Weki records paying 1,000 petals for the shed upgrade. The inspected footage does not show that next-day scene, so check your journal after speaking with him and treat the repair or upgrade as a separate cost whose exact quest-completion role is not settled by the observed run.
