Cape Bonavista · field route

One pillar puzzle, not three interchangeable island pickups

Use the pillar and its floor pattern as the stela test. The cave treasure and riverbed Secret are separate jobs even when the island map groups them close together.

  1. Find the pillar

    Do this

    Open Cape Bonavista's stela marker and climb the pillar. Do not start at the cave entrance or viewpoint-side riverbed when the missing result is a Mayan Stone.

    Separate the island stops
    Look for

    The pillar interaction opens the white-line alignment puzzle.

    If it does not work

    If the interaction is absent, check that the first story stela in Sequence 04 Mission 01 is complete, then inspect the live island marker again.

  2. Solve the pattern

    Do this

    Match the large circle to the lower pillar in the ground pattern. Only then adjust the pattern scale until the remaining white lines fit the surrounding rocks.

    Review the stela method
    Look for

    The alignment resolves and reveals the ground pickup position.

    If it does not work

    If nothing reveals, keep the large circle on the lower pillar and change the scale before abandoning this puzzle for another island marker.

  3. Close the stone

    Do this

    Move to the revealed spot and collect the Mayan Stone. Recheck the stela entry separately from any cave chest or river Secret you also cleared.

    Check the family counter
    Look for

    The stone joins the 16-stone outfit chain and Cape Bonavista's stela is no longer unresolved.

    If it does not work

    If the icon changes without a stone result, return to the revealed pickup and check the current save before marking the island complete.

Research basisResynced Cape Bonavista collectible guideSource establishes the lower-pillar circle alignment; the current save confirms the pickup.

Player workbench

Find and solve Cape Bonavista's Mayan Stela, then verify its stone without confusing the cave treasure or river Secret.

There are three different failure states here: an unrevealed map marker, a floor pattern that will not reveal its pickup, and a revealed stone that has not been collected. The cave dig and river Secret are separate island jobs.

Why this entry is useful

A marker → lower-pillar anchor → scale → stone route, with recovery keyed to the last confirmed state instead of sending every mismatch back to the island.

The `155, 591` coordinate locates Cape Bonavista, not the pillar. The lower-pillar alignment and viewpoint reveal are third-party route leads; confirm the active marker, live pattern feedback, and collected stone in the current save.

Safe first move

Check the Cape Bonavista stela marker first. If it is absent, verify the Sequence 04 story award and synchronize an available viewpoint before using a regional map anchor as a route hint.

Finish line

The revealed Mayan Stone is collected and the 16-stone progress is checked separately from the southern cave chest and viewpoint-side Diamond Trinket.

The revealed Mayan Stone is collected and the 16-stone progress is checked separately from the southern cave chest and viewpoint-side Diamond Trinket.

How to use it

Resume from the last confirmed state

Cape Bonavista's route has a reveal, an alignment and a collection check. Diagnose which one is missing: the island anchor is not the pillar pin, the lower circle must match before scaling, and the stone must be collected after the pattern reveals it.

Recovery path

The marker, pattern or pickup is still open

If Cape Bonavista has no stela marker, check that Sequence 04 Mission 01 awarded the first story stone, synchronize an available viewpoint, then recheck the live map. If the pattern does not reveal a spot, align the large circle with the lower pillar before changing scale. If the spot is already visible but progress has not advanced, collect the Mayan Stone and check the 16-stone total. The cave dig and riverbed Secret remain separate results.

Reveal marker → anchor lower circle → scale → collect

  1. Marker: open Cape Bonavista's live Mayan Stela marker and climb that pillar. If no marker is shown, check the Sequence 04 story-awarded stone and synchronize an available viewpoint; 155, 591 is only the island anchor.
  2. Anchor before scaling: place the large circle over the lower pillar in the floor pattern. Once that landmark matches, change the scale of the remaining white lines until they fit the rocks.
  3. Collect and reconcile: pick up the revealed Mayan Stone, then check the 16-stone progress. Do not use the cave chest or riverbed Diamond Trinket as proof that this stela is complete.

Route Plan

Reveal marker → anchor lower circle → scale → collect

After the first story-awarded Mayan Stone, use a synchronized viewpoint to reveal open-world stela markers if Cape Bonavista is not marked. At the live marker, climb the pillar, align the large circle with the lower pillar before scaling the white lines, then collect the revealed stone. 155, 591 is the Cape Bonavista area anchor, not a pillar pin; the southern cave treasure and viewpoint-side river Secret are separate pickups.

  1. If the Cape Bonavista marker is missing, check the Sequence 04 story-awarded stone, synchronize an available viewpoint, and recheck the island map. Treat 155, 591 as the regional anchor only.
  2. At the active marker, climb the pillar and align the large circle with the lower pillar first; after that anchor matches, scale the remaining white-line pattern to fit the floor rocks.
  3. Collect the revealed Mayan Stone and check the 16-stone progress. The southern cave chest and viewpoint-side Diamond Trinket use separate routes and do not close this puzzle.

Pillar Alignment

Pillar Alignment

Solve the stela from its own elevated interaction, not from the island's treasure clue.

  • Use the large circle as the anchor; place it over the lower pillar in the visible floor pattern.
  • Adjust scale only after that anchor is stable so the other white lines can fit the surrounding rocks.
  • If the pattern does not resolve, change alignment or scale on this pillar before searching another marker.

Stone Proof

Stone Proof

The puzzle's revealed ground spot and the Mayan Stone are two checks; complete both before sailing.

  • Watch for the revealed spot, then walk to it and perform the pickup.
  • Check Mayan Stone progress in the current save rather than relying only on a changed icon.
  • Keep the 16-stone outfit chain separate from this one island stop.

Cape Bonavista's cave and river routes can be cleared on the same visit, but neither substitutes for the pillar.

  • The southern cave's small-pool dig belongs to a treasure map route.
  • The viewpoint-side riverbed gives Diamond Trinket as a separate Secret.
  • Write down which of the three results remains open before leaving the island.

Common Questions

Why is the Cape Bonavista Mayan Stela marker missing?

The first Mayan Stone is awarded during Sequence 04 Mission 01; the open-world stela markers are revealed as viewpoints are synchronized. Check that story result, sync an available viewpoint, then reopen Cape Bonavista on the map. 155, 591 is the island-area anchor, not the pillar's exact position.

How do I line up the Cape Bonavista Mayan Stela?

Climb the stela pillar and align the large circle with the lower pillar in the ground pattern. Then change the pattern scale until the remaining white lines fit the floor rocks; collect the revealed Mayan Stone.

Is the southern cave treasure the stela reward?

No. The southern cave's small-pool dig is a separate treasure route. The stela ends with a Mayan Stone revealed by the pillar puzzle; keep its result separate from the cave chest.

What if I already found the riverbed Secret?

The viewpoint-side riverbed holds Diamond Trinket, not the stela stone. Reopen the current stela marker, solve from its pillar, and verify Mayan Stone progress before leaving the island.
