Any tips for finding islands in the far reaches?

Am looking for hecate essence, but i can’t seem to see well enough to come across islands in the first place. I’ve tried using clearsight II potions.

break stalactites and stalagmites in mount othrys for clearstones, use 10 of those to brew clearsight V potions

Should I make them drinkable or throwable? I’ve heard nova/supernova clears fog entirely. Also, is there a way to see better in the dark in the Titan Caverns?

only in a sea (bronze or nimbus rn)

turn up your monitor brightness or dont go in at night

It’s better to got to Ierochos if you can’t see too well in the Caverns, it’s a less of a hassle imo
