Objectives
- Meet Remedi in the western parts of Pumpkin Woods
- Protect Remedi while he inspects the strange mushroom
- Protect Remedi while he samples the lake water
- Talk to Remedi in the eastern parts of Pumpkin Woods
- Protect Remedi while he inspects the blue pumpkin
- Return to Remedi's shop in Evergrind City
Walkthrough
Note: list of wave enemies is as is during Hard mode
After accepting the quest, Remedi will wait at the entrance of Pumpkin Woods, and will run back to this spot if his HP is depleted before completing all of his tasks in the first zone. His health doesn't replenish after moving from one spot to another, meaning that any damage taken in a zone will carry on.
Talking to him will start the escort mission. The first place he stops at, the strange mushroom, will be attacked by two waves of enemies:
Afterwards, Remedi will move towards the lake. While he inspects the water and the fish, three waves of enemies will spawn:
- Four Jumpkins
- A Jumpkin, a Scarecrow and two Lantern Jacks
- Two Jumpkins and a Halloweed
If successfully defended, Remedi will go to the eastern zone of Pumpkin Woods, waiting at the entrance; he will also run back to this spot if defeated during the blue pumpkin inspection.
While Remedi is inspecting the blue pumpkin, four waves of enemies will spawn:
- Five Jumpkins (all around you)
- Three Jumpkins and two Scarecrows (all around you)
- Two Jumpkins, two Scarecrows, and two Lantern Jacks to the south
- Two Jumpkins, two Halloweeds, and two Ghostys south. The second Halloweed spawn is delayed
Once Remedi finishes the inspection, you can go back in Evergrind City to claim your reward.
Tips
- Remedi's health is more precious than your own. Consider putting yourself between him and the enemies so that they don't target him, but avoid taking too much damage yourself
- It's a good idea to get extra skills to deal with each enemy type. Whirlslash and Ice Nova are adept at killing the Jumpkins, Heroic Slam is likely to kill Scarecrows and Halloweeds in one cast, Throw and Fireball can pick off Lantern Jacks, and so on. Frosty Friend can also attack enemies separately and lure some of their attacks away
