Misko’s riddle for the third leg of the Armor of Awakening treasure hunt reads as follows:

“On Hyrule Ridge, in Ludfo’s land, ruins sleep beneath the towering mushroom trees. Connect the southern column’s midday shadow to the northern. At the shadows center, the way to my treasure will open.”

The location the riddle hints to is Thundra Plateau in Hyrule Ridge. You can find you way there by gliding southwest from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower or by riding to the west of New Serenne Stable.

Thundra Plateau coordinates: -2307, 0854, 0113.

Once you arrive at your destination, climb up into the arena to begin deciphering the next part of the riddle: Connect the southern column’s midday shadow to the northern.

Check your compass and find the southernmost column.

Southern column coordinates: -2268, 0877, 0126.

There should be several logs scattered about the arena. If not, chop down some of the mushroom-shaped trees to create a massive pillar. You will need around five or six logs stacked end-to-end to make this work.

Once you have your giant stick, you have to somehow attach it to the southern pillar. You can do this by using a stake and placing it as high as you possibly can on the southern column. If you don’t have a stake, you can also just stand on top of the column and hold your giant stick.

The idea is to extend the southern column's shadow so that it touches the northern column when the sun is behind it at noon. Attaching your stick to the column just makes it easier. That way, you are free to build a fire, wait till noon, and watch the shadow pass over the northern column, opening the way to the treasure.

If your timing was right and your stick was long enough, a massive hole will open in the middle of Thundra Plateau. Drop down to find the Cap of Awakening.
