Chaperone quest part 3 doesn't activate

[spare cave]

Hi 🌟

Before today's game update for consoles, I was stuck on 22th Winter because the Chaperone Merfolks Part 3 quest wasn't showing up at all.

With the update, I was happy to see the quest appeared for the first time.
Unfortunately, I can't do anything else. The quest doesn't activate even though I'm on 22th winter as requested. I tried to advance to the next days (23th and 24th winter), but the quest doesn't activate either. Is it normal?

(I play on PC with Xbox game pass)

Thank you!

Hello @spare cave. Thanks for reaching out to us!

Based on our official wiki: https://coralisland.wiki/wiki/Merfolk_Chaperone_Part_3, the steps to triggering the issue must be:
• Wait until the next expedition date
• Head to outside Museum
• Be there between 8AM-12PM
• Wait until the weather is clear
• Wait for non-festival day

Can you tell me if all the requirements above have been met before trying to trigger the quest? 🙂

Hello @orchid surge, thank you for your reply 🙂

I think I met all the necessary requirements as it can be seen in this video (24th winter, clear weather, non-festival day, 9AM).

Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks for the video. I'll inform the teams about this and get back to you again 😉

@spare cave heyy, did you get the Chaperone P3 quest on Winter 22? 😮

[spare cave]

On Winter 22, I didn't have the quest yet because of the known bug where it didn't appear at all in the quest list.

But then you did the Xbox Hotfix v.1.1-1226, so I opened my game again on Winter 22 and the quest finally appeared in the quest list (but doesn't activate).

To make it simple (sorry, I'm afraid I'm not clear because English is not my native language 😅):

1. I was playing normally. Then I arrived to 22 winter and I noticed that the Chaperone part 3 doesn't appear at all in the quest list.

2. I did some some searchs on this Discord and I heard from other players that it was a known bug and that nothing could be solved for the moment without an update from your side. So, I didn't play the game anymore at all for a few days.

3. That's when you made an update a few days later that I restarted the game (which was still on 22 winter) and I saw that the quest had appeared in the quest list but however was not activated.

Got it! Thank you so much for breaking down these details for us and I can understand your English well, so no need to apologize 😊

If you try to play normally until the next expedition date in Spring, will the Chaperone P3 quest finally triggered? 🙂

[spare cave]

Oh, I didn't tried because I was so afraid of advancing in the game and having to wait a whole year for the quest to be winter again.

I'll try to advance to the Spring dates then, and I'll let you know what message I get then, or if part 3 activates!

(Getting to Spring might take me a little while compared to the amount of playtime I have irl, I'm sorry in advance if I don't give you an update right away )

[orchid surge]

It's okay, we'll patiently waiting! Just let us know when you do

Hi again 🌟
I'm happy to come back to you with good news!
On the 8th Spring, part 3 of the Chaperone quest activated! So it weirdly will have skipped an entire season (Winter), but it works after all!

And right after the cutscene, I got the letter from the King that unlocks the underwater farm. But I don't know if it's related or normal since I haven't gotten part 4 of the Chaperone quest yet.

Anyway, a big thank you for your help and advice

[orchid surge]

Hooray! Thank you for sharing this good news with us

It's a relief to see this isn't an issue! If you ever experience any issues again in the future, please feel free to reach out again. Happy playing!
