Climb the ladder in the Nexus to get to Mauve Shoal, then go northeast and enter the castle on the jellyfish-shaped island. Go through the hall, and in the Bathhouse take these ladders: Up, Up, Left-down, Down, Down, Down, Down, and then keep going left and take the entrance to the Palace. Take the only doorway you see, then in the next room take the bottom doorway to your left. Take the second doorway from your right, then the leftmost bottom doorway. Go down and left and through the only door you see, then through the hall to the throne room. Go up and take either the left or right doorway, then down the hall and into the brightly-lit doorway to Escher Garden. Once in Escher Garden, go left under the trees, then northwest under the trees again. Navigate your way around this area westward, then go down around a group of trees to a lightning-bolt-shaped waterfall. Go southeast until you find a huge pool, then take the path directly below the pool and go west where it branches. Keep going until the trees south of you thin out under the pagoda like roof or alcove/pavilion, then go south and take the winding to the small brick building. Interact with the NPC inside.

Once you get to the docks, go up, take the path to your left, then the first path up, go right, go right again at the fork, keep taking the path and go up where it splits, go up again where it splits, go up, and stay on the path you're on until you reach land.
