Locating the Fallen Tree and Unblocking the Waterfall in Moonlight Peaks

During the quest “The Mysterious Bay,” you’ll need to lift a fallen tree in Moonlight Peaks to help your newly discovered mermaid neighbors reconnect with the town. After getting the details, you might find yourself puzzled about the location of that tree you need to clear. It’s definitely not in the Howling Marshes, where you might expect it to be.

If you’ve checked out the spells at Webb of Wonders, you should have noticed that there’s a spell for lifting trees available from Sabrina. To cast the Arborascend spell, you’ll need three mana, so make sure to hold off on watering your magic crops for the day or whip up some mana food to give yourself a boost.

If you need a refresher on how to cast spells, you can find the details in the first tab of your almanac in the game menu. The casting pattern for Arborascend resembles a tree: down, up, right, left, up.

The fallen tree is located in Moonlit Pines, right by Luna’s seed cart. If you’re unsure about what Rei and Kim mentioned, you might mistakenly think the tree is in the Howling Marshes since that’s close to their home in Luna Bay. However, the log you need to lift is actually in the forest where the witches hang out.

Look for the fallen log blocking a small waterfall just west of the stairs leading to Luna’s seed cart and cottage. Cast your Arborascend spell to trigger a cutscene that clears the tree. Kim will rush down to thank you, thrilled to be reunited with her “Sammy” once more.
