| 2 | Follow Wide-Eye |
![]() Around noon, you'll find Wide-Eye roaming the Palace Grounds. Sneakily follow her to lead you to the secret entrance to the Greenmote Silo. |

You can only do this between noon and 8 p.m., when the food is being prepared. If you miss the window or get caught, you can try again the next day. ▶ Where to Get Lockpicks |
