Some players have reported an issue where certain university quests, specifically “Poetry and Distance” and “Honorary Graduation,” fail to trigger. This guide explains the likely cause and the recommended course of action.

Understanding the Quest Order
Based on community discussion, this problem appears to be caused by completing quests in an unintended order.
- The Issue: If you complete Fern’s personal mission before finishing all available university quests, it may prevent the remaining university missions from starting.
- The Theory: It is highly likely that Fern’s questline is intended to be completed after you have finished all the tasks at the university.
Recommended Course of Action
To avoid this potential bug or soft-lock, follow this simple rule:
Complete all available university quests before progressing too far into Fern’s personal storyline.
If you are already past this point and the quests are not triggering, there is currently no known in-game fix. You may need to wait for a potential game patch or, if you are aiming for 100% completion, consider a new save file where you complete the quests in the recommended order.
Tiny Bookshop – How to Get Tilde’s Golden Memory (“Enduring Friendship” Achievement)
The “Enduring Friendship” achievement requires you to collect the Golden Memory of every character. For most players, the last and most complex one to get is Tilde’s, as it is locked behind a specific, multi-part questline late in the game.
When to Start
The main questline to unlock Tilde’s Golden Memory will begin in the second half of Summer in Year 3.
Step-by-Step Guide to Tilde’s Memories
- Unlock “Business Acumen”: The first of three prerequisite memory quests will trigger after you receive the “Zhenbucuo” nameplate from Maryam after completing a test.
- Unlock “People’s Bookseller”: The next memory will unlock after the first. The exact condition is uncertain, but it may be related to getting a group photo of all the characters or obtaining another character’s Golden Memory.
- Unlock “Well-Equipped Newbie”: This third memory quest appears to be triggered by purchasing at least four different bookshelves for your shop.
- Get the Key: After you have completed these three memories, Tilde will give you the key to her old shop (the Cafe Liberte).
- Unlock the Golden Memory: Go to the door of the old shop and use the key to open it. This will trigger a final, important conversation with Tilde. Completing this conversation will reward you with her Golden Memory.
