InAle & Tale: Tavern, you’ll spend a lot of time preparing food and drink for your loyal customers. However, there’s more than meets the eye in the woods surrounding your business. From wild animals to mythical creatures, you’ll have your hands full with plenty of quests and delivery orders.

Thankfully, we’ve got you covered. Without a map to guide you, it’s easy to get lost in the forest while trying to find your new friends. We’ll show you where to find the Spirit of the Forest and walk you through their quests so you’re able to truly befriend the flora and fauna.

Where To Find The Glowing Creature

Upon ranking up your tavern, you’ll be prompted tospeak with the merchantoutside. He’ll tell you about a rumor he heard regarding amysterious horse-like creaturein the forest.

Head into the woods justbehind your tavernand keep to the right. You’ll find a glowing,ethereal deer waiting for you. Speak to it to learn thatthe forest is currently being poisonedby vile bears. You’ll need to defeat them tofree the forestand allow for more hunting!

If you have trouble finding the spectral deer,wait until nightfalland look for the blue glow.

Where To Find Bears

To satisfy the Spirit of the Forest, you’ll need toslay three bears. The bears are locatedin the forest behind the tavern. You may need to search around to find them, but they can usually be foundnear the buzzing evil nestshanging from the trees.

Beware searching for bears at night, as they are incredibly hard to see.

Take your axe andattack the bears. They’ll come charging at you before you see them sometimes, sostay on guard. Try to keep your distance so that youminimize damage taken, as the bears can do a lot of harm in a short amount of time.

Allow them to take a swing at you, and as they do,leap back just out of range. If this proves ineffective, try tosidestep their attacks. After they’re defeated, ensure toloot the bodiesfor bear livers! These arepowerful alchemical ingredients.

Once you’ve found and slain all three bears,return to the glowing deer.

How To Destroy The Evil Nests

With the bears defeated, all that’s left is todestroy the nestsscattered throughout the forest. Their are eight of them, and you’ve likely seen them (and heard them) in the trees. The Spirit of the Forest willsend you off with a crossbow and some bolts, but after that, you’re on your own.

Thankfully, your quest marker will show you where to go next. The nests canonly be found in the forest, and you’ll know you’re going in the right direction when yousee wolves and bears gatheredtogether.

If you’re playing with friends, you’remore likely to fight against bearsthan wolves.

Defeat the animals surrounding the nests, then use your crossbow tofire at the brancheskeeping the nests suspended. When the nests drop,break them openwith your axe.

This will destroy the nest,dispelling the evilimbued within. Do this for all eight of the nests, thenreturn to the Spirit of the Forest. He’s weakened due to all the harm done in the woods and asks you tomake him a special dish: Fried boar steak.

Harvest some raw boar pork from wild boarsif you don’t have any, then use the grill in your tavern tocook up some steak. Bring it back to the spectral deer tocomplete the questand become a true friend of the forest!
