Dragonbound: Wings of Magic Hide and Seek Quest Guide

To complete the Hide and Seek quest in Dragonbound: Wings of Magic, speak with the quest-giving NPC in the settlement to accept the task, then manually search the immediate village area for the hidden children. Because this side quest disables automatic pathfinding and map tracking, you must locate each child on foot and approach them until an interaction prompt appears. Once you have found every child, return to the quest giver to claim your rewards.

How to Start the Quest

Look for an NPC marked with an exclamation mark or local task prompt within the primary town or village hub. Accepting the dialogue objective adds the Hide and Seek task to your side quest log.

Standard story missions typically allow characters to run automatically to target destinations, but this quest removes mini-map coordinate arrows and auto-tracking. You must navigate the hub manually and scan the environment directly.

Where to Search for the Hidden Children

The children hide exclusively within the boundaries of the settlement hub. If your search leads toward bridge crossings or monster-inhabited fields, you have traveled past the objective zone. Divide the settlement into distinct search zones to systematically inspect common hiding spots.

Search Zone	Common Concealment Spots
Building Exteriors	Blind wall corners, narrow alley recesses, exterior staircases
Storage & Market Areas	Behind stacked wooden crates, barrels, market stalls, canvas canopies
Settlement Perimeter	Large bushes, tree bases, decorative stone fences
Elevated Structures	Raised wooden platforms, walkways, ramps, sunken basement entrances

Checking Obstacles and Containers

Fixed camera angles often conceal small character models behind large props. Walk directly between structural walls and stacked containers, such as shipping crates and barrels. When you enter range of a hidden child, an interaction icon (such as a hand icon or speech bubble) will appear on your interface or over their head, even if the model is partially hidden behind objects.

Checking Vertical Levels and Alleys

Settlements feature multi-level layouts. If ground-level pathways yield no results, search upper and lower elevations:

Climb exterior ramps, staircases, and wooden walkways.
Look down into recessed basement entries or narrow spaces between adjacent houses.
Walk close to covered verandas and porch railings rather than sprinting down central roads.

Camera Adjustments and Exploration Tips

Manual camera control is necessary to spot concealed targets that blend into shadows or sit below standard sight lines:

Lower the viewing angle: Tilt the camera closer to the ground to peer underneath balconies, wagon beds, and thick foliage.
Rotate the camera at intersections: Stop at crossroads and rotate the view 360 degrees to inspect blind corners behind fences and walls.
Watch the interaction button: Rely on the interface prompt to confirm a child's presence. The interaction button highlights whenever your character stands within activation range, preventing you from missing targets obscured by visual geometry.

Completing the Quest

Once you have interacted with all required children, the quest log updates to show the objective is complete. Return to the original quest-giving NPC in the settlement center and initiate dialogue to turn in the quest. Handing in the mission grants experience points, local currency, and regional progression items.
