Side Quests Guide
These side quests do not have to be completed to finish the game, but do result is extra achievements (and, frankly, are quite fun, since through those you get to interact with the legendary Moomin characters the most!)
To the Rescue Achievement
Find Sniff at the entrance to the cave (see the S mark on the map). You will need to complete the night forest first to unlock flute, as well as reach level 4 of inspiration. Finishing this quest is required for the Deep Down achievement.
Deep Down Achievement
Find Little My in the well near the tree house where Snorkmaiden is (see the m mark on the map). She will ask to bring her a new toy, which happens to be Sniff’s reward for completing his side quest. In exchange, you will get a Masterpiece page.
Garment Grabber Achievement
Find Ninny the Invisible Child on the beach, north of where Too-ticky is (see the N mark on the map). The area is only available after completing the night forest and unlocking the flute. To complete the quest, you will also need to do Hattifatteners Island and unlock the drum first.
Beauty for Beauty Achievement
Find Primadonna’s Horse on the Hattifatteners Island (see the H mark on the island map). She will ask for something as beautiful as her, and we bring her her own reflection by finding a mirror in a sand pile just a little bit down the path. You fill need level 6 inspiration to dig it out.
Artist’s Assistant Achievement
Find Hemulen Painter in the lower area south of the tree house and the well (see the H mark on the map). The quest requires finding three puddles in the area, and as a reward, you will get a Masterpiece page.
Another important side quest is the one of Snorkmaiden: it does not have an achievement of its own, but you get a Masterpiece page as a reward, and you need it for the Pages of Genius achievement. You can find Snorkmaiden at the tree house (clearly detectable on the map). She asks to find her anklet, which is in a birds nest in the fern area near where Snork is (it is also the same place where you can find a Masterpiece page and a chanterelle). Play harmonica to briefly chase the bird away and quickly grab the item before the bird returns.
These three side quests do not result in the achievement of their own, nor do they help you in collecting Masterpiece pages, but I am including them for the sake of Conversationalist achievement which requires talking to every creature in the game.
- Make a Heart Flutter: Find Hemulen Bug Collector just South of the Muskrat’s campfire and West of the fern area leading up to the treehouse and the well. He will ask you to bring him three butterflies, which you can find in the flower field just over the bridge North of the Hemulen’s location; the flower field is also South of the theater.
- Stuck in a Tree: Help Toffle get down from the tree by calming the bees with your flute. You can find Toffle near the treehouse.
- A Small Gesture: Spider is back at it again! You will find him blocking mice’s path to their home on your way down to the area where Hemulen Painter is. And this time, even no butterfly will have to be sacraficed!
Arguably another side quest achievement is Muskrat’s Run for the Hills, but that one requires a bit more exploration than the other ones, and so has it’s own guide.
