I ran across the map and felt the air tighten—like a small lie had just revealed itself. You keep thinking this is just scenery until the stones begin to move. I’ll show you exactly what I did so you don’t miss the chest.
I’ve chased puzzles across Steam community threads and read enough Moyens I/O screenshots to know how easy it is to skate past a secret. You’re holding a map from the Shelly Beach cave that points at Windy Hills’ graveyard. Read it wrong and you walk away; read it right and the game throws a gate open.
Windy Hills graveyard puzzle location
On most in-game maps, a graveyard is just a quiet square on the edge of a zone.
When I first glanced at the Shelly Beach map I thought the numbers were an order. That fell apart fast—there are too many 1s. Those numerals tell you how many spaces to move each tombstone in the direction shown by the arrow. The trick is literal: count, step, push.
How do I read the Shelly Beach treasure map?
Read the arrow as a direction and the number as distance. Treat the tombstones like chess pieces that only slide along orthogonal lines. Miss a single step and the pattern won’t trigger.
Follow this exact movement set:
- Move the top tombstone one space to the right.
- Move the leftmost tombstone one space down.
- Move the tombstone on the far right one space to the left.
- Move the tombstone to the southwest two spaces to the left.
Slide them into those exact squares and the southeastern gate pops open. That triggers a tunnel full of monsters and timed hazards. The room acts like a sealed test: clear the enemies and you keep going; fail and the treasure stays behind the door.
What do the numbers on the tombstones mean?
The numbers are distance markers, not sequence numbers. Treat each arrow as an instruction: move the flagged stone the number of tiles shown, then check the overall pattern.
After the first chamber the layout repeats—small groups of monsters, narrow beams to cross, and fireballs that punish sloppy stepping. The chamber felt like a pressure cooker; every misstep raises the stakes.
If you finish the fight gauntlet you get a golden chest containing Technique #1: Attack, nicknamed the “hockey beam.” The item charges your third consecutive hockey-stick hit for a knockout strike. There’s also a smaller chest with a Heart Coin you can bring to M. Uscle in Koala Village to raise your heart capacity.
I treat these puzzles like small mechanical poems—the map is a skeleton key, and the reward is the stanza that makes sense only if you follow the rhythm. Community guides on Steam and conversations on the Under the Island Discord helped me spot details I missed the first pass; if you’re playing on Switch or PC, those hubs are where people post fresh screenshots and tile-by-tile tips.
Move the stones, clear the rooms, take the chest, then decide if the risk was worth it—will you leave the tombstones as markers, or shift them and press your luck for the hockey beam?
