## List of quests

Every day, Archie Pawston has a chance to give the player a quest, provided he has no quest active. The quest can be started by speaking to Archie Pawston.

If Archie Pawston is ghostly blue and his area is not colored, he will give the player a story quest. If Archie Pawston is colored but his area is not, he will give the player a daily quest. If both Archie Pawston and his area are colored, he will not give any quests, but the player can still converse with him to listen to some gossip or occasionally advance his story.

Story quests are untimed and advance Archie Pawston's story, allowing the player to learn more about him, fill his heart meter, and restore his memories. Some story quests require the player to collect a lot of resources or help other bears to get quest items. The story quests often give spirit logs as rewards.

Non-story quests have a time limit, do not provide any story development, and give random rewards. There are no penalties for letting a timed quest expire.

Some quests require the player to find items hidden on the island. The hidden objects spawn after the player accepts the quest, with hints on their location provided in the quest menu. If the player has trouble locating the item, they can get a hint from Charlotte Pine for 100.

### Daily quests

Every daily quest has a chance to give the player a crafting recipe for a random decoration in addition to regular reward.

## Chat

Every day, when Archie Pawston has no quest active, the player can chat with him for some random gossip. Archie Pawston can give the player advice or tell a little about himself or other bears.

Chatting with Archie Pawston does not advance his story.

After the player chats with Archie Pawston once, they can ask him for a hug.

**Archie:** LET ME HEAR YOU SAY YEAH
**Scout:** YEAH / No.
**Archie:** THAT YEAH SOUNDED WEIRD
LET ME HEAR IT AGAIN
**Scout:** YEAH!!!! / No!
**Archie:** I respect your choices AND YET
I WANT TO HEAR IT LOUDER
**Scout:** ...
**Archie:** Fine, I'll do it for you!
YEAH!!!!!!!
**Scout:** YEAH!!!!
**Archie:** YEAH!!!!!!!

**Archie:** Someday I hope to achieve 300% energy.
110%? I could hit it in my sleep.
200% requires multiple DJs, a confetti cannon and a nacho pool.
But scientists say 300% is possible!
## Daily quest lines

Start:

**Archie:** You know, I'm like a scout in some ways. My motto is *be prepared*.
*Be prepared to drop everything and party at the slightest provocation.*
That's why, whatever you're wearing, you should always have party clothes underneath.
End:

**Archie:** Oh heck yes!
With that outfit on, you can go anywhere! A banger, a rager, a hootenanny, even a brouhaha!
I see you, Party Scout. Keep on.
## Mementos

Spoiler alertThis article or section contains **spoilers**. Proceed with caution!
1. *Archie reveals his 'party wall', where he puts photos of all his friends. You get the distinct sense that his party wall, like his partying in general, is an aggressive coping strategy for... something.*
2. *You helped Archie get his paws on a new speaker system. Apparently, he's hoping to make so much noise he can't hear himself think.*
3. *So Archie has a 'wall of bummers' too, and he put Charlotte on it. But it's not actually intended as an insult, it's more of an aspirational thing for Archie. He wants to get her partying, too.*
4. *Archie makes a fishy friend.*
5. *It seems that Archie and his brother shared a fish pet, when they were alive. It also seems that Archie and Brandon loved each other very much.*
6. *Archie's brother Brandon struggled with some unknown problem towards the end of his life. It clearly affected Archie.*
7. *Archie still isn't ready to share his story with me.*
8. *I finally understand Archie. He became a 'party person' to distract himself and everyone around him from the pain of losing Brandon.*

## Story quests expanded

### Introduction

Immediately after arriving on the island, Archie introduces himself as a party person and hands the player a party hat:

**Archie:** Heyooo! Is this the one and only Cozy Grove?
And are YOU the one that un-sunk the island? Legend!
I'm getting some serious good-time vibes from this place!! The vibes called me.
*Archie*, the vibes said, *come kick it with us immediately*.
**Scout:** And here you are!
**Archie:** Here I AM!
**Scout:** Vibes can talk?
**Archie:** Pssshhh vibes talk all day! They honestly won't shut up.
And right now? They're saying *introduce yourself*.
**Archie:** Archie Pawston, semi-professional positive partier. Emphasis on the positive. But *extra* emphasis on the party.
I'm here to help you keep the good times rolling.
Here, party person. Have a party hat!
Today, we chill. Tomorrow, we turn it UP.
### Honeybrew

Archie asks the player to find his packages:

**Archie:** Hey party person! I have some party supplies arriving by air today.
At least I think they're arriving?
The shipping company seemed a little unsure about the exact dropoff location...
...so I told them to just throw the crates out of their plane while yelling 'PARTY!!!!'
**Scout:** That should work out just fine.
**Archie:** That's why I like you, party person.
You know how to keep it positive.
**Scout:** That is an... unusual shipment method.
**Archie:** Could I have used the mail? Eh, I guess. But..!
**Archie:** Any party-supplies that make it to the island this way will be *battle-tested*.
Although things could get tricky if they've landed in the water...
Four supply crates can be found swimming in the ocean offshore. The player need to hit them with a skipping stone to get one honebrew from each crate. Once they deliver all honeybrew to Archie, he gives them a small reward:

**Archie:** Hey! Did you find the crates?
**Scout:** I sure did.
**Archie:** Bradical, absolutely bradical!
(That's radical, but for bears. I'm trying to make it happen.)
**Scout:** If by 'find' you mean 'bust open with rocks' then... yes.
**Archie:** Wow. That is an extremely party way to retrieve supplies!
**Archie:** You know what, keep the extras, you earned them! Just leave the honeybrew with me.
A few bottles of the sweet stuff, a few thirsty spirit bears, a magic island?
That's a classic Archie recipe. You know what it makes?
**Scout:** I have no idea. / I think I have an idea.
**Archie:** Psssh, YEAH you do!
That yields 21 servings of pure party!
The next day Archie tells the player how his party went:

**Archie:** Oh man, we turned it UP in the Grove last night.
An absolute grizzly banger. Wish you could've been there.
Did NOT expect the imps to have such phenomenal dance energy!
They left essence... everywhere.
**Scout:** Awesome!
**Archie:** Awesome as heck!
**Scout:** Unsurprising.
**Archie:** Imps do what imps do, eh?
**Scout:** Gross!
**Archie:** It's only gross if you decide it's gross, my party person.
**Archie:** Anyways, I hear that you've got a whole essence-collecting thing going.
That's cool, no judgment. Take it all, if you want it!
The player will receive 8 happy imp essences and 3 joyous imp essences from Archie.

### Party People Picture wall

Archie tells the player about his party wall and asks the player to take a selfie for it:

**Archie:** Yo! Have you seen my Party People Picture wall?
**Scout:** I don't think so. / The huge wall covered in pictures? Yep.
**Archie:** I'm not too big on looking back, you know?
But that wall is like my personal party scrapbook.
Anyone who got up, got down, got real or got imaginary with Archie? They get a place on the wall!
I'm only bringing it up because the wall's been missing something major...
...a pic of me and you!
To proceed the player needs to snap a picture with Archie and them with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again.

**Archie:** Oh that's good. Very good. Good times!!
This pic has immaculate party energy.
If I ever get the uncontrollable urge to stop partying?
If I ever feel the need to unclench my jaw and let loose a primal scream of loneliness?
If I ever run low on honeybrew?
This will keep me going!
Archie rewards the player with one deluxe firework. This quest also unlocks Archie's first memory.

### Photo of the Captain

Archie tells the player about last night's party and asks them to snap a picture of one of the guest bears:

**Archie:** Phenomenal party last night here in CG!
Finally got some neighbors in the mix, too.
Do you have any pics of that bird-looking bear?
That dude *definitely* needs a place on the party wall.
The player needs to take a picture of Captain Billweather Snout with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again to complete the quest and get 1,000 as a reward.

**Archie:** Oh yeah, this guy's essential wall material!
Phenomenal party energy, classic 'Captain Ron' wardrobe vibes.
He was the second one to show up last night, and the last one to leave.
The next day Archie wants to chat.

**Archie:** This island serves up a real reflective vibe sometimes, huh?
You know that moment right before sunset when everything is completely quiet and still?
**Scout:** Of course. / I think so.
**Archie:** Yeah, that moment hits me like day-old guacamole. It bums me right out.
I've been trying to party through it, but sometimes that silence just works its way in.
### More honeybrew

Archie asks the player to get his supply crates again.

**Archie:** Hey party person! I think I heard something bumpin' in the surf.
Could be more of my party supply crates?
Let me know if you find anything floating out in the big blue, would you?
Four supply crates can be found swimming in the ocean offshore. The player need to hit them with a skipping stone to get one honebrew from each crate. Once they deliver all honeybrew to Archie, he gives them a crafting recipe as a reward:

**Archie:** Thanks for the re-up, party person!
This should keep the party going for at least a few more hours.
We're gonna keep this island hopping and bears' minds off their bummers, you and I.
### Photo of Allison

Archie tells the player about last night's party and asks them to snap a picture of one of the guest bears:

**Archie:** Threw another party for the neighbors last night!
Solid 18 out of 10 on the fun scale.
Too bad that awesome bear with the poofy hat left before I could snap a pic of her for the party wall!
The player needs to take a picture of Allison Fisher with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again to complete the quest and get 10 quartz gemstones as a reward.

**Archie:** Allison! That's her name for sure.
Best part about Allison, she always shows up with these hilarious prank snacks.
At first I didn't get it. I was like, *umm, why are those churros so wet?*
And she's like, *because some of the olive juice leaked out.*
You can't outdo Archie though. I straight up **ate those churros**! Gave her a big old high-five at the end, just to show her I was in on the joke.
She didn't even so much as wink at me. What an actress. Real commitment to the bit!
### Photo of Jeremy

Archie tells the player about Jeremy Gruffle and asks the Scout to take a photo for his party wall.

**Archie:** I met a guy last night who was... not so party.
Kept on apologizing for talking too loud.
I told him: *There's No Such Thing As Too Loud My Dude!* But he couldn't hear me over the music.
It's all good though. Everyone's teachable! Everyone's invited!
Let's snap a picture of my guy Goggles for the wall, shall we?
The player needs to take a picture of Jeremy Gruffle with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again to complete the quest and get 1,000 as a reward.

**Archie:** Ah man, he was saying 'sorry' when you took this pic wasn't he? I can tell.
That's OK. He deserves a place on my wall.
I broke a barstool the other night. Planked on it WAY too hard.
Mr. Goggles took the pieces, and came back the next day, sayin: *Hope you don't mind that I fixed it*.
My dude turned that broken barstool into a sectional couch!
### Packages

Archie's packages got lost in the mail and he asks the Scout for help.

**Archie:** Hey, do you hear that? The soft guitar? The gentle wind?
It's peaceful out here... WAY too peaceful.
Any second, the bad vibes are gonna go full on dubstep. And I'm not looking forward to that drop.
The good news is: I have a solution to this massive problem!
The bad news is: my solution got lost in the mail...
Eight packages can be found hidden on the island. Once the player brings them to Archie, he explains what it is and gives them a speaker system.

**Archie:** Oh snap! Do you hear the rumble coming from these boxes?
**Scout:** Yeah, that seems ominous...
**Archie:** Ominously bradical, you mean!
**Scout:** Don't worry, I've dealt with cursed packages before.
**Archie:** This is a blessing, not a curse, little partier!
**Archie:** This is an 8-piece spirit-powered speaker system. The Superwoofer 4000-XL!
That speaker's going to make noise like an avalanche.
We're gonna be *buried in bass*, party person!
That's what fun's all about, right?
Crushing the silence.
This quest unlocks Archie's second memory.

### More selfies

Archie asks the player to take more photos for his party wall.

**Archie:** Been looking at my picture on the party wall.
Like... I look sorta party? But not party ENOUGH.
Let's try taking a couple more.
The player needs to take and save three photos with their camera of the following: Archie and their Scout, Archie and two or more decorations, and Archie and one or more deer.

**Archie:** Oooof. Wish I could say *yeah we did it* and celebrate with copious high-fives...
But the Archie in these snaps? He's bringing a fraction of the party energy this island needs.
I've got a sort of *dead to the world* look to me, am I right?
**Scout:** I think you look great. / You are *technically* dead to the world, Archie.
**Archie:** Do I always pull that face, though? I was trying to smile.
**Scout:** Maybe something's weighing on you?
**Archie:** Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I know you're a problem solver, but I don't need a party psychologist.
I'm just here to have a good time...
**Scout:** But you said you looked 'dead to the world'?
**Archie:** Oh, man, that was a JOKE! Party people love to joke.
And yeah, I know some people say jokes are mechanisms we use to reveal uncomfortable truths...
...but those people are *bummers.*
### Even more honeybrew

Archie has run out of honeybrew again.

**Archie:** Hey party person!
You remember how you were talking about 'problems' the other day?
Well, I've got a real one...
We're out of Honeybrew again!
Little help?
Four supply crates can be found swimming in the ocean offshore. The player need to hit them with a skipping stone to get one honeybrew from each crate. Once they deliver all honeybrew to Archie, he gives them a decoration and returns to partying:

**Archie:** That's exactly the kind of help I needed!
Can't stop, won't stop... the party goes on...
**Scout:** It's OK if you want to take a break. / There's more to you than endless partying.
**Archie:** No way. I used to think: *I'll stop partying when I'm dead...*
But sike! Death's no big deal! The party never ends.
And I'm here for it!
### Photo of Pius

Archie asks the Scout to take another photo of one of his party guests.

**Archie:** Total rager last night.
One problem though... the life of the party left without getting his pic taken!
He should be easy to find. He's got a wide-eyed look that says *I'm honestly terrified of how hard I might party tonight.*
Real bold, this bear. It's not easy to pull off blue makeup!
The player needs to take a picture of Pius of Grizz with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again to complete the quest and get some fireworks as a reward.

**Archie:** Pius of Grizz! Yeah, that's my guy.
Real talk? When he first showed up, I did NOT get a party vibe.
But once I told him it was his holy duty to get lit?
That priest busted some extremely righteous moves!
### Photo of Charlotte

Charlotte Pine has visited Archie last night. He asks the Scout to take a photo of her.

**Archie:** The Ranger popped by last night.
She hit me up with a citation! Said *my partying was disturbing the local wildlife*.
Snap a pic of that raw-deal-Ranger for me, pleeeease?
The player needs to take a picture of Charlotte Pine with their spirit camera, save it, and speak with Archie again to complete the quest and a random decoration recipe as a reward.

**Archie:** Perfect pic, party person.
Time to slap this bad boy up on the *Wall of Bummers*.
**Scout:** The Wall of Bummers?
**Archie:** Yes yes! It's where I put everything that's *not bradical*. Like salads, passive aggressive notes, and Charlotte Pine.
But you know me, right? I'm an optimist!
Bummers are temporary, parties are forever. My positive vibes will win Char-Char over.
Sooner or later she'll feel the beat, shuffle her feet, rip up that citation sheet.
I'll get her where we all belong... on the Wall of Good Times!
Completing this quest unlocks Archie's memory.

### Arjun's photo

Archie asks the Scout to find a photo of his only guest at yesterday night's party.

**Archie:** Devastating news, party person. Only one person turned up at Archie's last night.
Ever try to party with just one old, forgetful bear? Rough.
On the plus side, he brought his own camera and took his own picture. But he forgot to put it up on the wall!
The photo is a hidden object found somewhere on the island. Once the player finds it and brings it to Archie, he rewards them with 1,000 and tells about the party he had with Arjun.

**Archie:** Thanks, party person. Gotta be real here, I'm not sure where this pic goes.
This Arjun guy showed me some snaps of his family, talked about his past...
It wasn't a bummer, but it wasn't a party either. I don't know what to call it.
Got me thinking about my own old times.
**Scout:** Do you want to talk about it?
**Archie:** Nope! Nope nope nope.
Forget the *old times*. Only *good times* are invited to Archie's!
Gotta knock these old times out of my head. Time to turn it up! Way up.
### Something fishy

Archie is expecting another package.

**Archie:** YASSSS my order is here!
Today's the day we finally turn it *all the way up!*
Of course, I need to find the package first. Little help?
A supply crate can be found swimming in the ocean offshore. The player needs to hit it with a skipping stone to get a party fish. When brought to Archie, he will observe that he did not buy this and his order must have been swapped with someone else's, although it seems the fish brings back some memories.

**Archie:** Whoa, serious mix-up at the party factory!
This is not my order AT ALL...
... and I FREAKIN LOVE IT!
They sent me a fish!!!! Holy mack, I haven't had a party fish since... um...
Anyways, get hyped! Because you, me and this fish? We're gonna party.
Archie gives the player the party fish back so they can place it on the island as a decoration. They also unlock Archie's third memory and its attached comic.

### Another photo

Archie asks the Scout to take a photo of him with his new fish.

**Archie:** Dude, this fish? Best accidental purchase I ever made.
Snap a pic of us together for my wall, will ya?
The player needs to place the party fish they got after completing the previous story quest near Archie, take a photo of Archie together with the fish with their spirit camera, save it, and talk to Archie again.

**Archie:** We look good together, don't we?
I named this little dude Brandon, after my older bro.
Look at that puckery little fish mouth... it's like with every breath, he's saying 'Good times!'
The two of us, we're gonna keep on and on, nonstop, until the end of time!
The player gets a deluxe firework from Archie as a reward.

### Party assist

Archie has been partying for several days and needs the Scout's help to stay awake.

**Archie:** Heyyy party person! Need a little assist here.
Brandon and I have been partying for three days straight.
**Scout:** That's a lot of party, Archie.
**Archie:** A lot... but not enough!
**Scout:** Brandon... the fish?
**Archie:** None other. This fish is a party beast!
**Archie:** I haven't seen Brandon close his eyes *once* this whole time!
I'm gonna need some coffee if I'm gonna keep up with him.
One coffee can be found hidden on the island. Once brought to Archie, he rewards the player with some quartz gemstones.

**Archie:** Thanks party person!! You're a true vibesaver.
Even a party machine like myself needs a boost now and then.
The next day Archie shares his fifth memory with the Scout:

**Archie:** You know, my fam had a fish when I was little.
We didn't name him Brandon. That would've been confusing.
One Brandon was all we ever needed.
### Energy drink

Archie has been parting nonstop and is about to fall asleep.

**Archie:** *Nonstop... nonstop... nonstop...*
**Scout:** Uh, Archie? Are you ok? / NONSTOP!!!
**Archie:** *NonszzzzNORK!!!*
WHOA, thanks for the assistive vibes!
I've been up for eight days now. Almost lost it there.
**Scout:** I'm here for you, man.
**Archie:** I appreciate your dedication to the celebratory arts, my bud.
**Scout:** Every party has to end sometime.
**Archie:** One more thing you could do to help....
Find me something to keep me awake? Please????
One can of Roar energy drink can be found hidden on the island. Once it is brought to Archie, he rewards the player with a random crafting recipe.

**Archie:** A Roar Energy Drink?!?! This is a god-tier pull from the party gods!
55% caffeine, 12% cockroach juice, 10% dance sweat, 110% good times.
Gonna let you in on a little secret, sweet good-times child...
My big bro gave me a sip of Roar when I was just a cub! Don't tell our parents.
I must've run thirty laps around the house that night, and they had no idea why!
### More energy

Archie needs more energy to keep the party going.

**Archie:** *Nonstop... nonstop... nonstop...*
*Need... energy...*
One can of Roar energy drink can be found hidden on the island. Once it is brought to Archie, he immediately drinks it and rewards the player with a random rare or better decoration.

**Archie:** <ssssslurpppp>
... And ARCHIE'S BACK! Thanks to another flawless party assist from the scout!
Brandon-the-mega-fish and I have been riding this party train for twelve days straight now.
Maybe longer? I may have missed a week or three.
Man I just... I just hope this fishbud of mine is still having FUN, you know?
Because sometimes, honestly it's hard to tell?
**Scout:** That fish is partying so hard.
**Archie:** YEAHHHHH I hope so!
**Scout:** He does look bored.
**Archie:** Ooof, even hearing that word sends bummers up my spine.
**Scout:** Fish... don't understand parties, Archie.
**Archie:** Partying is universal! From prokaryotic organisms to star whales, everyone's invited!
**Archie:** You know, I wonder if Brandon might like a little Roar in his fishbowl?
**Scout:** No. / NO!!!
**Archie:** You're right, you're right.
Gonna have to figure some other way to keep him lit...
### Special delivery

Archie is expecting a special delivery.

**Archie:** Got a special delivery coming in today, party person!
Weird though... when I asked Patrice where my boxes were at, he started yammering about *sonic violations of the postal code*...
Nine packages can be found hidden on the island. Once the player collects them and brings to Archie, he gives them four speaker systems.

**Archie:** That's what I'm talking about!
The *Gigawoofer-XXL sound system party extender*.
Built-in supernatural kick, soul-shaking bass, and cosmic levels of oontz. Guaranteed to bring the noise!
YOU HEAR THAT, LITTLE FISH?
THAT'S THE UNIVERSAL SOUND OF GOOD TIMES, PUMPED IN 9-DIMENSIONAL STEREO!
WE WILL NEVER NEED TO HEAR OURSELVES THINK AGAIN!
### Honeybrew again

Archie needs honeybrew for his upcoming party.

**Archie:** Yo party buddy! We got a few (hundred) imps coming over tonight.
Those little dudes need some help unwinding!
It's hard work, swiping snacks and making faces at each other all day.
So... any more honeybrew wash ashore?
Four supply crates can be found swimming in the ocean offshore. The player need to hit them with a skipping stone to get one honebrew from each crate. Once they deliver all honeybrew to Archie, he gives them some fireworks.

**Archie:** Perfect! This should keep the imps partying til the sun comes up.
I wish all the bears would come back, though.
Haven't seen Allison, Octavia or Lee since I hooked up the new sound system!
All those bears started out as straight up saddies, right? But then you came along.
You turned the positivity up to 11, drowned out the pain! I want to do that, too!
**Scout:** Of course you do. / There was a bit more to it than that, Archie.
**Archie:** It's all good. I'll just keep on blasting their favorite jams through the night, until those bears come out of party hibernation.
### Fish roommates

Archie thinks Brandon is lonely.

**Archie:** Brandon's looking droopy, huh?
It's cool, I know what's up.
**Scout:** What?
**Archie:** Even if I'm turning it up out here, Brandon's ultimately ALONE in his glass bowl.
My bro's namesake fish, kicking it solo? I can't think of a more serious party foul.
Can you find fish-man some equally legendary buds to roll with?
Archie asks the player for four legendary fish and rewards them with some imp essences.

**Archie:** Welcome to the party, fishes!!
The ocean is so big and empty and quiet, huh? Planet's biggest bummer.
But you're in Brandon's fish bowl now! It's gonna be *off the hook*!
### Another selfie

Archie seems down.

**Archie:** ...
**Scout:** Hey Archie.
**Archie:** Oh. Hey.
I mean... Hey party person!
I'm here to party hard!! Just like usual! It's all good!!
Get in here for a selfie!
The player needs to take a photo of their avatar together with their spirit camera, save it to their album, and talk to Archie again to show him the photo.

**Archie:** Dang. You're photogenic as always, party person!
But we both know this snap isn't party material.
It's too... too empty.
**Scout:** Photo composition was never my strong suit. / It's not empty, there's stuff all over the place!
**Archie:** No no no my dude. I'm talking about \_Brandon\_. He's gone. I woke up to an empty bowl this morning.
Little guy must've gotten so tired of my snoozefest parties that he noped out.
**Scout:** I'm sure that wasn't why he left. / I'm so sorry.
**Archie:** Forget about it, party person! Gonna keep it positive! It's just a fish, right?
There's nothing sad about being rejected by a fish, is there?
I'm gonna turn it up LOUD... cuz I don't wanna hear the answers to those questions.
Archie gives the player a crafting recipe for one random decoration. The player can also pick up five units of fresh water where Brandon's fishbowl used to be.

The next day Archie is listening to his music too loudly.

**Archie:** HEY! WHAT?!
**Scout:** WHAT?? / YOUR MUSIC'S TOO LOUD!
**Archie:** YEAH, YEAH!!! DEFINITELY! I WILL!
IS IT LOUD ENOUGH NOW?
**Scout:** NO I SAID TURN IT DOWN!! / MY EARS HURT!
**Archie:** SORRY PARTY PERSON, I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOES ANY LOUDER THAN THIS!
I CRANKED IT TO MAX!
### Headphones

Archie got another complaint from Charlotte. He needs something to help him keep quiet.

**Archie:** Got another bummer of a note from the Ranger, asking me to 'keep it down.'
Apparently there's a pretty strict noise ordinance in the spirit world.
I just want to share the good times with the people around me. Like you did.
But how? How can I turn it up AND keep it down?
The headphones can be found hidden on the island. The player brings them to Archie to get ten quartz gemstones and complete the quest.

**Archie:** Huh. Headphones? Pretty sick find, party buddy!
I wonder what my music will sound like under these...
The next day Archie tells the player how different his music sounds now.

**Archie:** It's weird.
**Scout:** What's weird?
**Archie:** Music sounds different under headphones.
I was bumping to some old hits, waiting for the bass drop... but something else dropped instead.
Suddenly I was listening to the sounds of my old life.
There was a vocal track that sounded like my big bro, Brandon.
Man, when he was on, he was the life of the party. It felt good just to be around him, you know?
But sometimes he was... *off*. And that was scary.
Towards the end, he was off a lot...
This conversation unlocks Archie's sixth memory.

A few days later Archie is still not ready to share his story with the Scout.

**Archie:** Hey scout. Got a rough part of my life playing in the headphones right now.
Mind if I have a little... privacy?
**Scout:** Of course. / I'm here if you need to talk...
**Archie:** Thanks for understanding.
This conversation unlocks Archie's seventh memory.

### Batteries

Archie's headphones need more batteries.

**Archie:** These headphones are out of juice.
The manual says they run on... fishbone batteries?
The player needs to bring Archie ten charred fishbones to proceed. In return Archie gives them 1,000 and shares another memory.

**Archie:** There. I can hear it again.
It's not a party. But I don't mind telling you about it.
Under these headphones, there's no chill-out guitar. No waves. No critters or imps bopping around.
It's just silence. The quiet of our house after my bro Brandon died.
Mom, Dad and I would sit at the dinner table, eyes down, quiet, trying not to let our forks scrape on the plate.
All we could hear was Brandon's absence. It rang in our ears.
That's when I decided that I needed to fill the quiet. Fill it with good times.
I decided to bring the noise, and *never stop* bringing it.
This conversation unlocks Archie's last memory.

### Lost fishbowl

Archie asks the player to find Brandon's old fishbowl.

**Archie:** Nothing but ocean sounds under the headphones now.
I think I may have gotten to the end of the mix.
Hey, that reminds me. I ditched that fishbowl after Brandon 2 took a hike.
You haven't seen it around, have you?
The empty fishbowl can be found hidden on the island. Once the player brings it back to Archie, he rewards them with a random decoration and tells them how he died.

**Archie:** Guess I really lost *both* my Brandons, huh?
When I started partying, I just wanted to do what my bro had always done.
I wanted to make the people around me *feel good*.
But sooner or later, most of my crew always wanted to wind the party down. They'd turn on *chill music*. Start *talking*.
There was too much I didn't want to talk about. So I noped out.
Found myself new friends. Some *bad idea buddies*.
And that's how I... well, we don't need to talk about the sad details.
**Scout:** We can talk about it, if you want.
**Archie:** Alright. Story time. Archie's last drop.
It was a solid night. More than solid! Basement party, packed wall to wall with peeps.
I think we hung a few too many things from the ceiling pipes.
Actually, I was hanging from those pipes *myself* when the water main burst.
The dance floor cleared out fast. The basement started turning into a pool.
I was sorry, right? Sorry for taking it too far. But I also didn't want the good times to stop. So I kept dancing in the water.
I was thinking, *maybe they'll rally*. Everyone was up on the stairs egging me on, chanting: *Archie!! Archie!!*
Or maybe they were calling me to safety? My memory's a little blurry.
Anyway, the water kept rising, until it submerged some exposed wires, and suddenly... *bzzzzzzzt!!!*
Everything went dark and quiet. So terribly quiet.
**Scout:** Sounds like it bums you out. I don't need to know.
**Archie:** Word. Dying was a bummer and a half. I'll leave it at that.
**Archie:** But you know me. I'm not about the dark, or the quiet!
I wasn't about to let the party end there.
### Quiet

Archie talks about how he traveled to the island together with Lillian and wonders how she is doing now.

**Archie:** You know what, scout? I'm starting to get used to the quiet spaces.
You know that shy bear? Lillian?
**Scout:** We've met! / Yes, she's lovely.
**Archie:** She hitched a ride to this island with me. Looked real uncomfortable the whole trip.
I kept trying to offer her queso dip, ask her about her favorite music, juggle glowsticks with her...
You know, help her loosen up.
She never said a word the whole time.
I hope she found what she was looking for here. I hope she's doing ok.
The player needs to show Archie the origami sculpture they have received from Lillian for completing all of her story quests. They are rewarded with a crafting recipe for a random decoration.

**Archie:** So let me get this straight... she wanted the quiet, but she found it by turning *up* her voice...?
...And that's how she found her good times?
How'd you figure THAT one out, party person?
**Scout:** Patience. A LOT of patience.
**Archie:** Bet you've got patience for days and DAYS.
**Scout:** I listen.
**Archie:** Listening. Ok.
**Archie:** Maybe I should crib a couple tracks from your playlist.
### Beatrice's flower

Archie talks about Beatrice and wonders if she has found peace.

**Archie:** I lit a campfire last night. A few of my neighbors showed up.
Turned into a... well, a friendly get-together.
I couldn't really hear the voices at my old parties.
But with the music turned down, I was able to chat with that cute bear Beatrice a bit.
She told me all about her collection. It sounds epic.
If she ever finds what she's looking for... let me know.
The player needs to give Archie the honeyform flower they have received from Beatrice for completing all of her story quests.

**Archie:** She *gave away* a piece of her collection? That's wild.
I thought collecting was her *whole deal*. Like me and my parties.
Maybe that's part of being at peace? Learning when and how to let go of things?
...
Maybe that's part of being at peace? Learning when and how to let go of things?
But I think I've got something else that I want to put in his old bowl instead.
Check it out.
Archie gives the player a terrarium he has made with Brandon's empty fishbowl and Beatrice's flower.

The next day Archie is finally ready to ascend.

**Archie:** You know what?
My wall of bummers is empty.
And my wall of parties is almost complete.
...You've been here for me, through ups and downs, party person.
I've been trying to find a way to thank you. Something that only I could give.
It came to me last night. Putting my *party energy* to good use, just for you...
...helping you feel the love from *all the spirits* that you've shown kindess to here on Cozy Grove!
I think you're gonna like it.
The screen fades to black and Archie and the Scout are shown hugging while all the bears the Scout has helped during their time on the island are having a party around them. After the party scene ends, Archie ascends and turns golden. His area will stay permanently lit and colored. He will no longer give the player story quests; however, he will still occasionally give the player daily quests.

The player can initiate the party cutscene anytime by talking to Archie and choosing the *Let's party!* option. Initiating Archie's party on seven separate days will earn the player the special *Party All Week* badge.
