Quest Text

Merlin seems to be frustrated. You should find out why.

While discussing with him, you realize that Merlin didn't pay attention to the most basic human need: food. You decide to help him.

Objectives

• Cook Merlin any 2-Star Meal.
• Bring Merlin any 2-Star Meal.

Walkthrough

Once the appropriate requirements have been met, speak with Merlin to start this quest.

Dialogue

Oh, hang it all! Hang it all! Everything's complicated. One great mystical mess... →  What's wrong, Merlin? Nothing! Or rather, everything! I'm attempting an experiment, but it's just not cooperating! "Alakazim" has always been an effective variant of "Alakazam"! →  It sounds like you need a break. When did you last eat? Eat? Hm? With food? Perhaps... Tuesday? player Stop working. I'm getting you something to eat.

After Merlin vents, make a 2-Star meal. Meals over 2-star will also fulfill this requirement. Easy 2-star meals to prepare include Fish Sandwich and Vegetable Soup.

Bring the meal to Merlin.

Dialogue

Oh! That smells wonderful! It seems I am actually quite hungry. I was so wrapped up in my studies, I must have forgotten to eat. No wonder I became so frustrated. Thank you, player.
