he said he is standing right on top of it not outside some place
He also didnt say if his map is zoomed out or not, so if it was zoomed way out being 100 ft away looks like being on top of it
So your attempt of trying to be big headed didnt work
Besides the advice I gave him was right, it is infact inside the Fiend Ruins which you must enter into first. So he could have been either outside or inside the ruins he didn't say, so to be safe I said inside the ruins at least if he was he knew he was in the right place, if not then he knew where to go.
