Ever have Flying Snippets caught in your hair? Well, Merida has and she is getting tired of it. To help you put your Royal Net to good use, Merida is going to teach you Clan DunBrock’s Rules of the Hunt.

Follow after Merida. She can’t wait to get started.

Quest Task: Follow Merida.

The first Rule of the Hunt is to control the terrain. There are a lot of Mossy Logs littering The Bind. When you chase after Snippets, these Mossy Logs can get in the way.

Problem is, you don’t have any way to get rid of them.

Quest Task: Clan DunBroch’s first rule of the hunt: Control the terrain!

• Use the Shovel Potion in your Inventory
• Remove the Mossy Logs from the Bind – 6

You’re in luck.

Merida found another potion in the Library of Lore, which she hands over to you. This potion should work wonders on your Royal Shovel, making it strong enough to dig up the Mossy Logs!

Use the “Shovel Potion” Merida gives you. It can be found in your Backpack Inventory.

Head over to a Mossy Log and start digging. The Log is instantly turned into small moss piles which you can easily pick up. You can now control your terrain by clearing away more of the Mossy Logs.

Quest Task: Return to Merida.

Good Job! The Bind looks much better and according to Merida, you’re ready to learn Clan DunBroch’s second Rule of the Hunt: Use everything at your disposal to trap your prey.

Now this sounds interesting. There are a lot of resources in Storybook Vale for you to use.

But Merida has something more specific in mind. She has instructions on how to make a trap that will slow the Snippets down, making them much easier to catch. It’s called, coincidentally, a Slow Trap.

All you need to do is gather the materials listed in the instructions and craft it.

Quest Task: Use the Bind Slow Trap Recipe from your Inventory.

Quest Task: Clan DunBroch’s second rule of the hunt: Use everything at your disposal to trap your prey! Gather materials to make a Snippet Trap.

• Opal – 1
• Sorcerer Hat Hermit Crab – 1
• Pine Cone – 5
• Moss -10
• Storybook Magic – 500

A lot of the materials you need are likely in your storage chests. But in case you’re short anything, here is where to find it.

Opal – Mine in The Bind

Sorcerer Hat Hermit Crab – Fishing

• Location: The Bind
• Circle Color: Red

Pine Cone – Found randomly near trees in The Bind

Moss

• Dig up Moss Logs
• Found on the ground in Everafter

• Complete Storybook Duties Found in the Dreamlight Menu while on Storybook Vale.
• Complete Storybook Vale Duties – Found in the Dreamlight Menu

Pro Tip: Apply Miracle Fishing Bait to your Royal Fishing Rod if you want to turn the next 10 white fishing spots red.

Once you have all the materials in inventory, head to your crafting station. You will find the Basic Fall Leaves Slow Trap crafting recipe under Functional Items.

Quest Task: Craft a Basic Fall Leaves Slow Trap to slow Snippets around the Bind.

Set the Fall Leaves Slow Trap in The Bind. The exact location is completely up to you.

As soon as it’s placed, the Snippets in the area have a swirling mist around them, indicating that they are being affected by the traps. Their movements will now be 20% slower.

Quest Task: Place the Fall Leaves Slow Trap anywhere in the bind.

Quest Task: Return to Merida.

Pro Tip: The Snippet Trap slows the Snippets in the area down by 20%. If you want to slow them down even more, interact with the Trap and upgrade it. This will cost Storybook Magic.

You’re ready for the third Rule of the Hunt. Be patient! This is something even Merida struggles with!

Might as well give it a try, however. The Snippets are flying a little slower, so you should be able to sneak up on them easier!

Head out and catch 10 Snippets for Merida.

Quest Task: Clan DunBroch’s third rule of the hunt: Be patient!

• Catch Snippets slowed by the Slow Trap in the Bind
• Remember: Snippets appear over time. Check back regularly! Check your Collections menu to see where to find Snippets! – 10

Quest Task: Return to Merida.

On to Clan DunBroch’s Fourth Rule of the Hunt. Let nothing go to waste.

In the case of Snippets, that means returning them to The Lorekeeper’s pages. You can do that by talking to the Lorekeeper and selecting the dialog option to reorder stories.

This option brings up a jigsaw puzzle for you to put together.

The puzzle pieces are located on the side of a puzzle canvas in random order. To build your puzzle, simply drag and drop the puzzle pieces into place on the canvas. Don’t worry. You can move the pieces around and back to the side if you don’t happen to place them in the correct position on the canvas.

You also get a reward the first time you complete a puzzle, so that’s a nice perk.

Quest Task: Clan DunBroch’s fourth rule of the hunt: Let nothing go to waste!

• Rearrange any Tale in the Lorekeeper’s pages. You may need to catch some more Snippets first!
• Talk to the Lorekeeper and select “Reorder Tales” from the dialogue submenu

Quest Task: Return to Merida.

The Snippets have been returned to the Lorekeepers pages. Now it’s time for the fifth Rule of the Hunt – Commemorate a successful hunt!

For Clan DunBroch, this usually mean having a trophy or tapestry made. Merida simply decides to give you a special gift.

It’s a Storybook Frame!

Quest Task: Clan DunBroch’s fifth rule of the hunt: Commemorate a successful hunt!

• Place the Storybook Frame anywhere in your House – 1

Place the Storybook Frame somewhere in your house. When you place this great picture frame on a wall, it displays one of the puzzles that you have completed! You can even craft more Storybook Frames if you want to display more of the Lorekeeper’s pictures!

Merida has one last rule to share with you. This one is the most important, it seems.

The rule is…there are no rules! When faced with a dangerous situation, like a demon bear, you simply do what must be done to get out of danger!

Quest Task: Return to Merida.

Merida’s adventure continues in Archery and Archrivals.
