Talk to Podley About Eve

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Podley Thinks About Eve
First, go to Twilight Town to talk to Eve about the quest. Eve's house is the first house on the right section of Twilight Town, just above the fast travel warp pipe. She wants you to ask Podley, the bartender at Rogueport inn and Eve's first love, if he remembers her.

Upon talking to Podley, he'll hesitate but tell you that he doesn't know Eve, clearly lying. Once you go back to Twilight Town and talk to Eve, you'll be given two options: tell her the truth or make something up. Both options give you the same reward, so choose whichever makes you feel better.

Option 1: Tell Her the Truth

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Tell The Truth Response
If you opt to tell Eve the truth, Mario will tell her what Podley said—that he doesn't remember her. This will make Eve very sad, but she'll say that her kids will keep her mind busy. After she gives your reward, one of her kids will ask why she's crying.

Option 2: Make Something Up, Quick!

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Make Something Up Response
If you decide to make something up, Mario will tell Eve that Podley remembers her and still loves her, which may actually be closer to the truth. This will make Eve very happy, but she'll say that she's a devoted mother now. This means they still can't get back together, keeping Mario safe from any repurcussions of his made-up story.

One of Eve's children will still ask why she's crying after she gives Mario his reward. However, this time, these are assumed to be tears of joy.

How to Unlock Tell that Person... in Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake

Complete Chapter 5

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Trouble Center

Tell that Person... from Eve will appear at the Trouble Center once you complete Chapter 5. To activate this request, select it from the bulletin board at the Trouble Center.

All Chapter Walkthroughs

Accept From Trouble Center on the East Side of Rogueport

The quest must first be accepted from the Trouble Center bulletin board before you can do any of the steps to complete it.

To get to the Trouble Center, you must first get through Gus, the guard blocking the east side of Rogueport. You can either pay him coins every time you need to pass or defeat him in combat. Once Koops joins your party, defeating him becomes much easier.
