Winter Burrow Pinesap Quest Guide – Find Moss’s Missing Friend (Exact Route + Map)

What You Need

Flint Axe for thin/thick vines; upgraded pickaxe for the end-wall. Practice in daylight—the palette is flatter at night. Planner baseline: 1 tea + 1 pie (day). For storms/night, carry 2 teas or stash a campfire near the cart fork.

Fork-by-Fork Route (Left–Left–Left)

Follow this sequence to the cart, shawl, and final rock wall.

• 1) From MOSS, go north into the broad clearing (where you saw fox fur).
• 2) Aim north‑west to the north exit.
• 3) First fork → LEFT; cut thin vines.
• 4) Next area → LEFT again; small vine patch.
• 5) Third fork → LEFT to the abandoned cart; cut thick vines to find Pinesap’s shawl.
• 6) Later, return with the upgraded pickaxe to break the final rock wall and reach the quiet clearing.

Return & Tone

Reverse your steps and bring the news to MOSS. Expect a bittersweet closure and a practical reward. Pause at the clearing—a small moment of respect fits Winter Burrow’s heart.
