Side Quest: The Good Life Guide: “Mnemosyne has Forsaken me.”
There are many quests in the Good Life. The main quests follow the main story. There are side quests like any RPG, but there are many. Side quests can be obtained via the PC from The Morning Bell (the newspaper Naomi Haywood writes for). Rainy Woods residents can also make requests. Most residents offer side quests. The tasks can vary. You will usually need to talk to someone, collect some items or take photos. Rita Barrett’s “Mnemosyne has Forsaken me” is an example of a side quest.
She is a poet and can often be found behind the counter at the town hall. Although she has recently written a poem, she cannot remember the inspiration or whereabouts. She asks you to take a picture of the subject she was inspired by and use the poem as a clue. Although it is a difficult poem to understand, once you do, it becomes very simple. This guide will help you to solve Rita’s poem if you are as stumped as Rita.
HOW TO START THE Mnemosyne Has Forsaken Me SIDE QUEST
This task can be found at the beginning of the game. You must first locate Rita Barrett to start the side quest “Mnemosyne Has Forsaken me.” She can be found in Rainy Woods. Rita wears a green hat, a green-and-red outfit, and has long ginger locks. She is usually found behind the counter at the town hall. You will notice a green exclamation point next to her name and portrait when you approach her. This indicates that she has a task in store for you.
Rita will share her story about her poem and how she doesn’t know where or what inspired it. You are asked to take a picture of the subject that inspired Rita. After speaking with Rita, you can either accept the quest immediately or leave it later. You can complete the side quest by activating it from the quest menu.
Rita will read the poem aloud to you to help you find what you are looking for. The side quest will let you see a portion of the poem but not the whole poem. Here’s the full poem:
HOW TO SOLVE RITA’S POEM AND WHAT TO PHOTOGRAPH
This task can seem daunting at first. To decipher Rita’s poem, you will need to photograph the correct subject and show it back to her. Rita’s poem is all you have. She mentions that Rita was in Rainy Woods at the time she wrote the poem. Rainy Woods is the best place to find what you are looking for. It’s not so easy. Rainy Woods isn’t huge, but the town has many things that the poem could refer to. This is a difficult one and easy to get lost in.
First, open the world map. You should make sure Rita’s side quest, “Mnemosyne Hath Forsaken me”, is active. Rainy Woods is located in the middle. All marked buildings, businesses and facilities should be visible. You can see the name of the building by hovering the cursor above it. You will find a place called “Happy Scones”. It is located on the corner near Mushroom & Evans, and the post office. Although it might seem hard to spot, a small green circle will appear over Happy Scones. Side quests are associated with the green circle. The highlighted area indicates where you should look for that quest. The green circle in this example is telling you that Happy Scones is your destination.
