Quick ways of getting a Searing Enigma? (Spoilers)
Mostly that don't require a specific quest. I've played enough with my current Captain, and I was planning on going to the Avid Horizon with the Merchant to end my journey. So, I sold everything I had, including 2 Searing Enigmas. Surprise surprise, the game asks me for one when I reach my destination! ... Now I'm looking for a last quick one to end it.

I'm trying the Will-o-Wisps event in Mangroove College, but I've been getting Captivating Treasures and Solace Fruits, instead.

Thanks!

Nuncio, if you havent done it yet, awards a Searing Enigma if you descend into the caves with Sunlight (I think Mirrors too but the check is fairly hard). That's one 100% guaranteed easy-to-do place that gets you one.

Thanks, but I think I've already done it. :)

Oh well, I'll keep going into the the Will-o-Whisps.
Also, it's apparently a great way of getting money and/or heirlooms. One trip gave me 3xCaptivating Treasures! The only problem is candles, and killing your crew mercilessly, if you have lower stats.

One method is bullying Mt. Nomad, but that by itself has steep requirements on its own. However, if you have a tried and true method of killing Mt. Nomad (I recommend Blue Sctintillack and torpedoes since it wrecks everything) you can collect its heart as well as a captivating treasure. Take its heart to the Chelonate and they will give you a Searing Enigma. You can farm the hearts if you want to get a bunch in a single run to the Chelonate.

Hmm, didn't know about that, thanks! I'll look for it in my next playthrough.

I got the Searing Enigma. However, right after, I ventured again, forgetting I had 2 wounds. I got a third wound. Oops. Greed bit me in the ♥♥♥, haha!

Ouch. If you need one in the future, another option is Varchas. Several of the stories there reward Searing Enigmas, though the easiest one to obtain requires a Veils check.

Well, I guess technically the others require a check on every stat except maybe Pages. But you can repeat the other checks... not sure what happens if you fail the Veils check.
