In order to rescue the princess, you must first get through Mushroom Forest. King Pepe set up a powerful barrier to block anyone from entering the castle. Please investigate this matter for us.

You'll find the barrier in Mushroom Forest by heading east of where you are standing right now. Please be careful. I hear that the area is infested with crazy, fear-inducing monsters.

Please do not give up on the Mushking Empire!

I see that you have thoroughly investigated the barrier in the Mushroom Forest. What was it like?

So I see it wasn't an ordinary barrier by any means. Great work! If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have had a clue.

Please journey all the way to the end of the Mushroom Forest and investigate the barrier for us.
