The Apple of Her Eye Walkthrough

Main Objectives
1 Talk to Alma and Thunk
2 Talk to Scampshroom
3 Go Back to the Hideout
4 Look for Ayejack in the Hideout

Talk to Alma and Thunk

1
Talk to Alma to begin the quest.
She can mostly be found in the main base camp in Windward Plains. Apparently, she lost her glasses, and only the Wudwuds have a clue on where it is!
2
Head to the Wudwud Hideout and talk to Thunk. They are the Wudwud wearing a brown headgear with a husk. They mention that any of their findings might've ended at the downriver.

Talk to Scampshroom

1 Teleport to the nearest camp in Area 2 of Scarlet Forest, as you have to head to the downriver. This may be the base camp at the south-east of Area 1.
2
Talk to Scampshroom, who is digging through mud in the river. They are wearing a coconut helmet and a colorful dress.
3
Scampshroom will tell you that a Wudwud down at Area 2 found something red. Rush to Area 2 and look for the Wudwud wearing Alma's special red glasses. They are the one next to the Amber Deposit.

Go Back to the Hideout

1
Unfortunately, the Wudwud with the red glasses disappears. You have to go back to the Wudwud Hideout and ask around! You can talk to Thunk again to get more clues.
2
Thunk tells you that most of the Wudwuds come out during the big festivals during Plenty, at Night. Change the time if needed, and head to the four feasting Wudwuds.

3
Head to the feasting Wudwuds and ask four about what they know regarding Alma's glasses. You have five Wudwuds you could talk to, namely Fyne-fyne, Bangard, Sassafrill, Bearbelly, or Chomber.

Look for Ayejack in the Hideout

1
With everyone naming Ayejack, you must head back to the hideout and wake him up. He is the Wudwud wearing Alma's special red glasses, while sleeping in his well-wrapped hanging leafy bed.
2
Ayejack requests Eastern Honey before he could trade in Alma's glasses. You can immediately give one to him if you have one on hand. Alma is delighted to have it back and the quest reaches its happy ending!
