Starting Journey to the Core in Spiritfarer

“Journey to the Core” is a side quest in Spiritfarer that will reward you with a good amount of Glims when you finish it.

Starting the Shenanigan

First make sure that your ship already has the needed upgrade: the Mist Cleaner 1000.

This boat improvement can be found in Albert’s Shipyard (X: 61, Y: 64), and it requires these materials:

  • 8 Silver Ores
  • 22 Silk Fabrics
  • 8 Bottled Ectoplasms
  • 6 Crystal Glass Sheets
  • 3 Spirit Flowers
  • 3,000 Glims

For additional help, check out our full boat improvement guide, which contains a deeper breakdown of where to get each item quickly.

After getting the upgrade, it’s time to visit Overbrook Island (X: 212, Y: 56).

This island is located in the World Map’s top-right section, just on the top of Oxbury.

Once you’re on the island, head left past the Overbrook hospital until you find some old ruined buildings. Here you’ll find the short green spirit that will give you the side quest.

Talk to the spirit and he will tell you that a lot of the other spirits are calling him names and making him upset.

He’d ask you for some help in stopping them, so head back to the Overbrook Hospital and head up the second floor balcony to find a short teal spirit.

This is the head doctor, and will ask you to give the spirit an apple as a peace offering.

However, he has no idea how much apples cost. So he’ll give you 5,000 Glims just to buy one.

Fortunately, an apple seed from the Furogawa Raccoon Shop only costs 990 Glims. This seed can then be planted in the Orchard until it grows into a tree and bears apples.

Note: If you already have an apple in your inventory, then you can skip this part of the process.

Once you do have an apple in hand, just head back to the spirit in the ruins and give him the apple.

He’ll decide he’s content with what he has and reject the apple from you. This ends the shenanigan request.

The spirit will reject your apple and say that he’s happy with his life / Spiritfarer
