DUNGEONS OF HINTERBERG

Dungeons of Hinterberg Characters: 16 Friendship Targets and Conversation Requirements

There are 16 friendship targets, including the dog. The protagonist Luisa and characters such as Theresa at the hotel are not counted as reward targets simply because they appear in the game.

Mushroom Isles entrance: dog, strawberries and signpost

The entrance does not appear immediately just because the dog is at Mushroom Glade. Advance A Furry Pal in town, give the dog Wild Strawberries, then return to the region.

  1. Inspect the area around the Mushroom Isles signpost. In town, talk to the dog near Hannah’s shop.
  2. Take the zipline on the right of the Ancient Tree entrance down into the forest, then use Whirlwind to reach the higher ground.
  3. Use Whirlwind to reach the raised, fenced walkway behind the hill. Lower the ladder and collect the strawberries farther along.
  4. Give them to the dog in town to advance the quest. Return to Mushroom Glade on a later daytime visit and talk to the dog by the signpost so it digs up the entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to max every relationship?

Filling out friendships is an optional completion goal. We do not treat it as a requirement for a true ending. Check any friendships you still want to pursue before finishing the story.
