How to repair the bridge in Fields of Mistria

If you’ve just begun a new game of Fields of Mistria, you’re going to have a lot of quests to complete in the coming in-game days. There’s definitely no shortage of things for you to do, but first and foremost, the bridge needs to be fixed. 

After Balor guides you over the broken bridge and into town as you first arrive, you’ll have a few days to settle into your new farm home before the residents of Mistria arrive with their first big request. They need to repair the bridge in order to enable travel in and out of Mistria, and as a perk of this, the Saturday Market can begin being held again. 

How to get a Pickaxe and repair the bridge in Fields of Mistria

At some point in the first week of your new life in Mistria, you’ll receive a letter in the mail from Adeline, asking you to aid in repairing the bridge. After receiving this letter, head east to the bridge in order to trigger a cutscene. 

After this cutscene, a donation box will appear next to the bridge, and you’ll need to donate the following resources: 

• 60 Wood
• 60 Stone

You should already have an Axe to gather the needed Wood, thanks to an early morning meeting with Eiland, when you discovered the statue of Caldarus behind a tree on your farm. He’ll give you the Worn Axe as a reward, and you can then use it to gather the 60 required Wood.

To get a Pickaxe, you’ll need to pick up a quest from the Request Board in town. The quest you need is called ‘Do a Bro a Favor’, and simply requires you to head to the Blacksmiths and talk to Olric. When you speak to him, he’ll give you an Worn Pickaxe which you can then use to mine any small rock and get between one and two Stone. 

Once you’ve got 60 wood and 60 Stone, you can head back to the bridge and place the resources into the box. Then all that’s left to do is head back to Adeline to hand in the quest, triggering another cutscene and successfully repairing the bridge.
