I was originally gonna make a guide to all of the quests but then I found this

There are some quests I will cover though
Cryptic tale 1:
The answers are 3, 2, 1. Get it wrong and the guy isnt letting you talk to him again? Put the minor healing pots in your first slot. For the puzzle you have to insert the items in a certain order so basically you go to one statue and put in an item, if its right it will make a ding noise and you move on to the next. If it's not just retrieve it and move on to the next.
Cryptic tale 2:
The trees work the same way with the statues in part 1. Got your 12 items? and you can't talk to the guard? make sure all of the items take up the first slots.
Cryptic tale 3: The coordinates for the corpses are
111, 465
275, 475
451, 365
447, 203
485, 53
321, 71, careful theres a fake on next to it that u cant click on
285, 259
47, 231
and the last one is right next to the central island zone in on spirit spire beach
And remember crystal summit is not opened so you cannot do the red dragon boot quest
