Where Is the Lighthouse?
The lighthouse is one of the Pacific Coast's Major points of interest, at map coordinates 598, 693. The game describes it as "perched at the edge of the sea, the lighthouse stands tall with its winding stairway. Its beacon guides travelers safely across the waters." Until you fix it, the journal labels it "The broken Lighthouse".
How Do You Fix the Lighthouse?
The lighthouse is a two-step quest. The first step, "Lighthouse Discovery", asks you to find a way to the Lighthouse. The second, "Lighthouse Completion", is to "find a way to repair the light in the Lighthouse and make the light rotate again." Restoring the rotating beacon fires the lighthouse-fixed-and-rotating milestone, which is what completes the quest and the achievement.
Which Achievement Does the Lighthouse Unlock?
