Where to find The Philosopher’s Riddle sword

In Avowed, you can find The Philosopher’s Riddle two-handed sword on top of Castol’s Folly.
I have marked its exact location in the above map screenshot.

First of all, enter Castol’s Folly using the rocks on the western part.
[Just swim straight from Shanty Town to Castol’s Folly and you will spot the rocks.]

Enter the area through the broken wall.

You will find some high-level enemies.
Take them out and follow the main path.

Keep following the main path until you arrive at the above location.
From there, you must take the path on the right side.
[There’s an enemy that you can sneak up to and attack for some extra damage.]

You will finally be able to see the delipidated caste at Castol’s Folly.
Parkour your way through the rocks to reach the top of the building.

Once you are there, you will find The Philosopher’s Riddle +2 Unique rarity sword between giant mushroom-like flowers.

Collect the greatsword!
Now, before you head back, make your way to the other end of the roof.

Once you reach there, you will find a high-rarity chest.

Open it to get high-level upgrade materials and currency:
- Adra
- Turquoise
- Golden Scelling (5) [Currency]
