Expanding your kingdom in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom requires recruiting a diverse array of talented citizens to manage your facilities. Among the various side quests encountered throughout the game, Quest 031, titled Fun with Fungi, stands out as an essential task for growing Evermore's population. By assisting the culinary enthusiast Happless, players can unlock a valuable new kingdom resident who significantly enhances kingdom operations.
Initiating Quest 031 and Finding Happless
To begin the Fun with Fungi side quest, players must navigate to the Forest of Nibel, located within the rolling wilderness of the world map. Inside the forest area, you will encounter an NPC named Happless, who expresses a passionate desire to cook a extraordinary dish requiring rare ingredients. Interacting with him activates the quest objectives and adds the material requirements to your active quest tracker log.
For players keeping up with modern RPG guides and daily gaming news, tracking fetch quests systematically saves considerable exploration time. Ensuring you have unlocked fast travel points near the Forest of Nibel will make returning to deliver the items quick and efficient.
Gathering the Required Fungi Items
Completing Happless's request requires players to collect two specific types of rare mushrooms scattered across the game world. You will need to procure several units of Choice Cut-Up Fungi alongside a set of Bright-Cap Mushrooms. These items are distinct from standard culinary ingredients and often spawn in specific environmental zones.
Choice Cut-Up Fungi can typically be gathered as shiny pickup nodes within forested regions or obtained as drop rewards from defeatable plant-type enemies. Bright-Cap Mushrooms are often found in damp cave environments or harvested directly from kingdom foraging facilities such as the Guilders' Greenhouses once upgraded.
Efficient Farming and Gathering Tips
If you choose to farm these mushrooms directly in the wild, equipping Higgledies that boost item drop rates can speed up the process. Re-entering forest zones resets the sparkling collection spots, allowing players to loop through resource nodes until the required amounts are met. Alternatively, managing your kingdom's harvest facilities guarantees a steady passive supply of these rare ingredients over time.
Checking your inventory periodically prevents unnecessary farming trips once the target thresholds are reached. Utilizing the travel menu allows you to jump directly back to the Forest of Nibel without traversing hostile territory again.
Quest Completion Rewards and Kingdom Benefits
Upon delivering the requested items to Happless in the Forest of Nibel, the quest will officially complete, granting experience points and Guilders. More importantly, Happless agrees to migrate to Evermore, becoming an active citizen available for assignment. Placing him in culinary facilities boosts kingdom research capabilities, unlocking high-tier dishes that provide substantial party buffs during difficult combat encounters.
