Quick answer: Start by taking the kitchen set from Wilhelm's chest, clearing a full foundation footprint on the farm, and following the recipe board to make jam and berry pie. The common sticking points are a blocked kitchen footprint, combining both pie preparations on one plate, and linking the water dragon with the flute before taking it into town.
Quick facts
- Kitchen setup: Clear the entire foundation footprint; remove any planted bed that overlaps it.
- Jam: Press berries, add water and sugar in a pot, cook on the stove, then transfer the jam to a jar.
- Berry pie: Press berries and mill wheat, then combine both preparations on one plate before baking.
- Water dragon: Use the flute's link prompt to make it follow you into town.
Quick start
Set up the kitchen
Take the kitchen set from Wilhelm's chest. Clear a farm spot with the axe, remove overlapping planted beds with the shovel, and place the foundation.
Make jam
Select jam on the recipe board, press the berries, combine them with water and sugar in a pot, cook on the wood-fired stove, then jar it. Follow the jam recipe.
Bake berry pie
Set up the extra equipment, press berries, mill wheat, and put both on one plate before baking. See the berry pie recipe.
Take the water dragon to town
When the quest asks you to show the dragon to townspeople, activate the flute's follow link, lead it into town, and talk to them. Follow the town introduction steps.

FAQ
An obstacle or planted bed may overlap its full outline. Clear growth with the axe and remove overlapping beds with the shovel before placing it. See kitchen placement.
Select jam, press berries into the pot, add water and sugar, cook it on a wood-fired stove, then transfer it to a jar. See the jam steps.
Baking the wheat preparation alone can make bread. Combine the prepared berries and wheat on one plate before baking, as shown in the berry pie guide.
Use the flute beside the dragon and activate its link prompt; check for the blue connection line, then lead it into town. See the water dragon guide.
Sell gathered items through the merchant's trade screen. Spare stone, sticks, and jam can be sold too, and orders also pay; see early money methods.
Try keyboard and mouse to pass the flute step or remap the triggers with Steam Input, as the developer suggested. A permanent fix is not confirmed yet; see controller workarounds.
