It\u2019s such a random request that I was stumped. By chance, I found it, so I thought I\u2019d share to help all my fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4025700\/Heartopia\/\">Heartopia<\/a> players. I also recently published a feature piece discussing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamezebo.com\/features\/why-heartopia-is-my-go-to-cosy-game-right-now\/\">why Heartopia is my current go-to cosy game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Heartopia Trekking Pole<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019d better hope RNG is on your side.<\/p>\n<h3><span>How I Triggered the Treasure Hunt Gossip Quest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with unlocking the required Gossip quest in the first place; we can\u2019t get anywhere without that. It\u2019s called <em>Treasure Hunt<\/em>. The thing is, the process of getting this Gossip quest relies heavily on RNG, which explains why not all players have gotten it yet.<\/p>\n<p>When you get a Story quest requesting you to deliver materials (the materials are not disclosed\u2026 suspicious) to the NPCs Cassie and Naughty. These quests are split into two and appear at random. Upon completion of these two Story quests, you need to keep an eye on the map in case the orange quest icon pops up. Once it does, it\u2019s time to head to Naughty.<\/p>\n<p>For this Gossip quest, Naughty resides at the Onsen Mountain, but you can easily track him via the map thanks to the handy dandy Tracking feature. Once you reach Naughty, it\u2019s time to unlock the quest, which requires you to find a\u2026 Trekking Pole? Bit of an odd request if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n<h3><span>Where I Found the Trekking Pole<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With such an ambiguous request, I don\u2019t blame you for looking up a guide. Even I struggled with trying to find this random item, as I\u2019d never even seen a Trekking Pole in the game before. Thankfully, the solution is simple.<\/p>\n<p>Open the map and look for a red-haired NPC called Vernie. She\u2019s usually around the Flower Fields to the left of the map. When speaking with her, after a quick greeting, you can ask her about this mysterious Trekking Pole.<\/p>\n<p>By some sort of miracle, Vernie knows exactly what you\u2019re talking about. It was somewhere within the fields \u2013 literally a needle in a haystack situation. After gathering this important piece of intel, you can head back to Naughty at the Onsen Mountain.<\/p>\n<h3><span>Is the Reward Worth it?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to your super sleuthing, Naughty presents you with a Retro Desk Lamp for a reward. If you\u2019re going for a full collection (trust me, I know how impossible it seems), then this quest is a <em>must<\/em>. However, if you don\u2019t really fancy a Retro Desk Lamp for whatever reason, then you can probably skip this Gossip quest.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I don\u2019t care for the Retro Desk Lamp, as it doesn\u2019t match the theme of my Heartopia house. But, as a collector and a hoarder, I still wanted to complete the quest for my Collection records.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__author\">\n<div class=\"c-author-details \">\n<p> With experience working for GameRant and in SEO copywriting, Adele loves to combine her adoration for gaming with her writing craft.
