Seek out Sweetlopek in the Forest
Once you’ve completed Bury the Hatchet, Sweetlopek asks you to meet him in the Spellbound Woods to start the A Dryad’s Dream quest. Head into the forest and look for him next to the large pond.
Find the Dryad Using the Scanner
Sweetlopek’s directions are a bit vague – he only tells you the Dryad rests at the heart of the forest, in its most beautiful spot. That has to be the pond. Walk up the small ramp that circles the pond while using the Scanner, and you’ll find the Dryad fast asleep.
The Dryad leads you to its nest entrance, which is blocked by a Darkmess Puddle. Fight it off to clear the way.
Find and Deliver 3 Seeds to Zephyrdash
Zephyrdash asks you to track down and deliver 3 seeds scattered around the forest.
1
The first seed is just across the water from where Zephyrdash stands. Scan the river to reveal a bridge, cross it, and shake the tree on the other side to knock the seed loose. Bring it back to Zephyrdash.
2
The second seed is near the nest. Head to the southern nest area, where you’ll spot red flowers. Scan them to reveal the seed, then carry it back to Zephyrdash.
3
The third and final seed is farther away, near the pond, sealed behind a Darkmess barrier. There’s also a white pipe leading up nearby, but first you need the key – a blue triangle. Head to the small dead end in the southwest corner of the map and scan there to find it.
Carry the key back to the white pipe near the pond. At ground level next to the pipe, check behind the nearby bushes to find the device that unlocks the barrier – it’s marked with an X on the map below, with the second marker showing the seed’s location.
With all three seeds collected, the A Dryad’s Dream quest is complete. Along the way you’ll unlock two memories – THE DRYAD and THE MYSTERY OF LOVE – and Zephyrdash joins your team. As a bonus, the town bridge is now repaired too.
