Harvest Moon®: Echoes of Teradea Quarrytop Chapter 1: route and preparation

Reach the town

• From Bloomfield’s west bridge, take the first path north, past the traveler’s camp and Brown Bear’s Territory.
• Continue through Quarrytop Campground and Glacier Grand Canyon. Follow the unlit torches along the gray path.
• A jumping mount is required at the chasm. A Silver Dapple Horse near the Trailhead has Bunny Jump; leave barn space if you plan to tame it.
• Reindeer help on ice, but still need a jump skill for the gap. Hot Mushroom offers about 30 minutes of cold protection in the guide’s terms.

Get Lorelei’s mine permit, then rent a bag

• Speak to Lorelei and accept her ingredient-delivery request. The Harvest Moon Wiki mining guide lists 3 Apples, 6 Wheat and Rye; it does not give a verified Rye quantity, so check that requirement in your active quest before gathering.
• Deliver the requested ingredients to Lorelei. The guide’s accompanying game-dialogue screenshot shows her granting permission to go down to the 10th floor.
• Next speak to Mine Reception and rent a Mine Bag. Permission and bag rental are separate steps; waiting at the elevator does not replace either one.

This establishes the initial entry sequence, not the complete Chapter 1 material list. No Rye quantity, ingredient quality requirement or later story delivery is inferred from the permit screenshot.

Craft the Expert tools before Maplehill

Use the Craft menu at Glenn’s Crafting Shop for the Axe, or at Glenn’s or the Mine Reception for the Pickaxe. Neoseeker lists no story requirement for the Expert tier: do not confuse these upgrades with Master tools, which require Quarrytop Chapter 1. Carry the old tool and materials; the guide says crafting can use your bag and Animal Bag, not house Storage.

Both tools together require 3,500G in upgrade fees, 6 Bronze and 8 Square Lumber. If you refine those materials from 12 Bronze Ore and 8 Lumber, add 68G: 3,568G total, excluding any purchased raw materials.

Mine bags and Lantern Oil

These are listed regular prices. Lantern Oil preparation is not evidence for the exact quest that gives the first lantern.

Mine-floor access and later unlocks

An unlock table is not a walkthrough of either chapter. The full mine objectives, puzzles and completion sequence remain unverified.

If the first chapter does not trigger

In an October 18 Reddit reply, a player who had reached Quarrytop reported fixing a missing chapter trigger by selecting the quest as the main objective and retracing the route to its starting location. This is one player’s troubleshooting report, not a verified NPC location or universal fix.
