As you dive deeper into the main story of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, you’ll come across a bunch of fun and engaging quests that keep things interesting. From your first face-off with the boss โMezukiโ to stepping into your role as village chief, thereโs always something pulling you in.
One of those memorable side quests is the tricky-but-entertaining โHide and Seekโ, where youโve got to track down the mysterious girl you met in Summer Village.ย
If you’re wondering where sheโs hiding, donโt worryโweโve got you covered. Here’s a full walkthrough of the Hide and Seek quest and every location the Mystery Girl can be found in. Also check, Romance Guide.
How to Start the Hide and Seek Quest
Youโll unlock Summer Village in Chapter 2 of the story, right after you:
- Defeat the Cursed Tree (a level 15 boss in Spring Village)
- Build the Dragonโs Home
- Let Woolby transform into the White Dragon and fly you there
Once you’re in Summer Village and knock out a few starting tasks, youโll make your way to Matsuriโs Shrine. When you get there, the entrance is lockedโand boom, the Mystery Girl shows up. She tells you that if you want in, youโve gotta play Hide and Seek and find her in three different spots around the village.
All Mystery Girl Hiding Locations (And How to Find Her)
1. The Boat
Her first hiding spot is super easy to find. Head over to the dock and look for the boat. Just follow the orange quest marker, hop on the boat, and press F to interact when you see her.
2. The Flower Bud
Next up is a big flower bud sitting in the middle of the lakeโalso marked on your map. This time, youโll need to perform the Drum Dance to make the flower bloom and reveal her. Just right-click to use the move when you’re nearby.
3. The Wooden Box (Trickiest One!)
This is the toughest part. The Mystery Girl wonโt show up in any of the usual interactive spots. And using Drum Dance randomly will just burn through your Rune Points. To find her:
- Go to the back of the Summer Lordโs Dragon Shrine
- Look for a large wooden box that doesnโt give you any interaction prompts
- Perform the Drum Dance near it to break it open and reveal her hiding spot
Wrapping Up the Quest
Once youโve found her in all three spots, sheโll give you the Shrine Key, officially wrapping up the Hide and Seek quest.
Just a heads-up: youโll need enough Rune Points to do the Drum Dance a couple of times during this quest. If youโre running low, recharge by touching Rune Lanterns, cooking up a good meal, or simply taking a break to rest.
