You can use pack explosives to open up areas of the map and explode different items that need removal. To get explosives, you must do the main story quest line and go to the set of islands called “Gale Cliffs.” 

Make your way to the “Ruins” port on the map and dock at the port. You will then meet an old sailor, who will send you on a quest to find his family's crest. Rest your boat at the dock until daytime before attempting to complete the quest.

At dawn, you will need to undock your boat and head right around the island. Travel down the waterway and watch out for rocks in the water. At the end of the waterway, you will need to take another right turn and go around the outside of the island until you come across an old shipwreck in the water.

Go into the waterway located to the right of the shipwreck. You will find a fish monster as you enter the channel between the two islands. You must entice the fish monster to move away from the family crest he is guarding.

Get the monster's attention, and he will chase you into the open water. Once in the open, you can turn around toward the family crest and collect it. Alternatively, you can collect the crest when the fish monster submerges beneath the water to regain strength.

After collecting the crest, you must head back to the Ruins dock and show the old sailor your collected item. You will then be instructed to head to the “Ingfell” port and dock, where you must talk to the “Retired Whaler.”

The Retired Whaler will then send you on a quest to explode a wall with explosives that he has set up. Undock from Ingfell port and make your way back toward the Ruins port. Don’t dock at the port but steer your boat to the left of the island through the channel.

You will then come across a wall rigged with explosives, interact with the wall and blow it up. Once the wall has exploded, head back to the Retired Whaler at Ingfell port and offer him the family crest.

Undock from the port and return to the old sailor. He will want you to pick him up and transport him to the Ingfell port. Transport the old sailor to the Retired Whaler. This will end your quest and open up the “Whaling Yards.”

At the Whaling Yards, you can purchase packed explosives from the Retired Whaler for $36.00.
