Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon – Pumpkin Seed Locations in the Pumpkin Peril Quest

The “Pumpkin Peril” is a memorable side quest in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It involves helping Fortress Gardner Eogan, but finding the pumpkin seeds is not always straightforward. This guide will walk you through the steps to start the quest and pinpoint the location of those elusive seeds.

How to Start the Pumpkin Peril Quest

Before you can embark on the hunt for pumpkin seeds, you’ll need to initiate the Pumpkin Peril questline. This involves locating Eogan within Fortress Avalon. He can usually be found behind the shooting range. He is located on the western wall, you’ll need to use the ladders, keep climbing until you see the coop.

Once you’ve located Eogan, engage in conversation with him. You may need to solve the “Roots of Knowledge” task first. It involves talking with other characters and completing other tasks. After completing the roots of knowledge, Eogan will give you some seeds to plant. After waiting for 36 in-game hours, harvest the mysterious root and give it to Eogan, and he’ll request pumpkin seeds, thus initiating the quest.

Where to Find Pumpkin Seeds

Unfortunately, pumpkin seeds aren’t available from standard merchants or vendors in Avalon. You will have to explore.

Instead, your search should lead you to Rescree, a settlement located northwest of Fortress Avalon. Within Rescree, seek out an abandoned farm. It’s generally recommended to approach this farm at night. When approaching the abandoned farm, you’ll meet some skeleton farmers. You can interact with the skeleton on the right. The skeleton will sell pumpkin seeds for 80 gold.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

• Location: Rescree (Northwest of Fortress Avalon)
• Specific Area: Abandoned Farm
• Time of Day: Night
• NPC: Skeleton Farmer (on the right)
• Cost: 80 Gold

Once you’ve secured the pumpkin seeds, your next step is to return to Eogan at his usual spot in Fortress Avalon, and he will take them.

Completing the Quest and Subsequent Events

After giving Eogan the pumpkin seeds, he’ll plant them in his rooftop garden. Doing so will earn you experience points and the completion of the “Pumpkin Peril” quest…or so you think!

Around 36 in-game hours after planting, a strange mutant plant will emerge from the soil. Brace yourself, because combat is unavoidable. Be prepared with healing potions, fire-based weaponry, and potent spells. Defeating the mutant plant will reward you with unique crafting materials, but the consequences of the event mean you won’t achieve a Moral Victory.

Tips for the Mutant Plant Fight:

• Fire Damage: The mutant plant is particularly vulnerable to fire-based attacks.
• Crowd Control: Consider abilities that can stun or incapacitate the plant to give yourself breathing room.
• Healing: Keep a steady supply of healing potions or spells to sustain yourself through the battle.
• Party Composition: Ensure your party has a good balance of damage dealers, healers, and tanks to maximize your chances of success.

Summary

The Pumpkin Peril quest presents a small challenge and reward in Tainted Grail. It is important to complete the Roots of Knowledge first. Then travel to Rescree at night to retrieve the pumpkin seeds from the abandoned farm. Once you have the seeds, you can return to Eogan. But don’t think you’re done after that! You’ll have to prepare for the mutant plant.
