A Picture for Tabantha Bridge Stable

Dabi wants a painting of the Ancient Columns at sunrise. The columns stand on the cliff top across Tabantha Great Bridge, west of the stable. Take a picture of them at dawn, then show the photo to Dabi at the stable for a Pony Point and a Hasty Elixir.

Walkthrough

Examine the empty frame

Step inside Tabantha Bridge Stable and examine the blank frame on the wall. Dabi calls you over and explains that the Stable Association sent frames for the stables to fill, and that he would like a painting of the Ancient Columns bathed in the light of the sunrise. You need the Camera from the Purah Pad before you can do it.

Photograph the Ancient Columns at sunrise

Leave the stable, cross Tabantha Great Bridge to the west and follow the road, then look south for a mountainous plateau; the Ancient Columns stand on top of it (the ruins sit at about -3574, 0437). A Flame Gleeok guards the main path to the ruins, so if you have the stamina it is safer to climb up from the east side. Take the picture facing east as the sun rises; the picture is only accepted between about 4 am and 6 am, and the quest icon must be visible in the frame. If it is not yet morning, make a campfire on solid ground (Wood plus Flint or Fire Fruit, struck with a metal weapon) and rest until morning. If it is raining or cloudy, rest again until the weather clears and retake the shot.

Show Dabi the photo

Go back to Dabi, pick the photograph from your Album and show it to him. He paints a copy of it for the frame and gives you your reward. If you take a better picture of the same scene later, he will replace the painting.

Rewards

You receive 1 Pony Point and a Hasty Elixir. If your inventory is full the gift is held back, so make a free slot before you hand over the photo.

Tips

• Save just before dawn, and rest at a campfire to skip the night; that saves a lot of waiting.
• Warm clothing helps around Hebra and the plateau, and the Flame Gleeok patrols overhead, so watch the sky while you set up the shot.
