During the quest titled "The Mysterious Bay" in Moonlight Peaks, you will need to remove a large, fallen tree. This action is essential for helping the mermaid community reintegrate with the town. Many players might initially search for this obstruction near the mermaids' home in the Howling Marshes, assuming its proximity to Luna Bay. However, the tree is actually located elsewhere, requiring a magical solution.
To clear this obstacle, you must first learn the "Arborascend" spell. This spell can be purchased from Sabrina at the Webb of Wonders. Casting it requires three mana, so it's advisable to conserve your magical energy or prepare some mana-restoring food. The spell's pattern, found in the almanac under the first tab of your game menu, is a sequence of movements: down, up, right, left, up, mimicking the shape of a tree.
The specific location of the fallen tree is in Moonlit Pines, not the Howling Marshes. You can find it blocking a small waterfall situated just west of the stairs that lead to Luna's seed cart and cottage. Once you arrive, cast the Arborascend spell to activate a short cinematic sequence, after which the tree will be removed, allowing Kim to express gratitude for reuniting her with "Sammy." This act of magical assistance not only advances the narrative but also strengthens the bonds within the game's enchanting world.
By mastering spells and understanding the landscape, players can navigate challenges and foster unity within the magical community of Moonlight Peaks. This highlights the importance of using one's unique abilities for the greater good and building a harmonious environment for all inhabitants.
