Search the Jungle
It doesn’t take long to search the jungle in The Lion King Realm. You find Pumbaa quite firmly stuck in a log.
It seems Pumbaa was chasing after a big, juicy grub when the incident occurred. He charged into the log and… got stuck. Now he can’t get himself out.
Quest Task: Check to see how Pumbaa is doing in the log.
Quest Task: Talk to Timon.

Not The First Time
Take a picture of the situation and report back to Timon.
It turns out, this is not the first time Pumbaa has gotten himself stuck in a log. Boy, those bugs must really be good for this to be a reoccurring event!
Anyway, Timon can usually get Pumbaa out with a little oil. He makes the oil by mashing up some really greasy bugs.
Quest Task: Take a photo for a closer look at how to free Pumbaa.

The Hunt For Oily Bugs
Using something slippery to help Pumbaa get “unstuck” sounds like a great idea. Head further into the jungle in search for Oily Bugs! They are hiding under Rock Piles.

Although, this IS Dreamlight Valley. Nothing will surprise Goofy.
