Finding the Dryad
- “Always talking, hmm? You STILL fail to understand the devastating consequences of your profession. Do you have any IDEA what it takes to create a seed from which a tree will grow? Of course not! Then I shall show you.”
- —Dryad, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
The heroes can find Sweetlopek inside the Spellbound Woods after completing Bury the Hatchet, who needs help finding the Dryad. Sweetlopek tells of a folk tale, which describes that the Dryad is hidden, and must be found using Beep-0's Scan Power. The heroes find the Dryad, along with a Spark known as Zephyrdash, by the a big tree close to the lake. They both wake up, and the Dryad gets angry at Sweetlopek, thinking that he simply does not care that his actions are hurting her. She shows Sweetlopek her nest, which is taken over by Darkmess.

The heroes must clear out the Darkmess is a battle, known as Nesting Instinct. In the battle, the heroes must protect the Dryad's nest for 8 turns. After all 8 turns have passed and the nest is still standing, the battle is won.
Finding the seeds
Template:Quote2 After the Darkmess is cleared out, the Dryad realizes that the seeds are not in her nest, and shows Sweetlopek her nursery. Sweetlopek then realizes his that the Dryad really cares about the trees. Zephyrdash then tells the heroes to look for the 3 missing seeds, which are close to red flowers. One of the seeds is behind a gate, another seed is in a tree, while the third seed must be revealed using Beep-0's Scan Power. After all of the seeds are returned, the Dryad uses her magic to make them sprout. Sweetlopek then apologizes to the Dryad, claiming to never touch his axe again. The Dryad then has a solution: cutting down the dead trees to use for the Sweetie Pie Honey Snookums Bridge, which will make way for new trees. Sweetlopek then tells the Dryad to come with him to Paletteville, to dedicate the bridge to the Dryad, and to tell everyone of their new arrangement.
Falling in love
- “What dares eclipse and cloud the sun? Two hearts that beat against the wolves of time! When mine eyes are blinded, and so are thine. With crooked back, and weathered skin. We breathe our last - hands intertwined. And still, and still the sun doth shine.”
- —Woodrow, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Everyone then gets to Paletteville, where Woodrow tells the heroes that they have both restored the Sweetie Pie Honey Snookums Bridge and harmony between worldly state and glorious nature, referring to Sweetlopek and the Dryad. They then fall in love, while Woodrow gives out an uplifting poem, which JEANIE feels something, and causes Beep-0 to cry. The quest is then complete, and Zephyrdash joins the heroes on their adventure.
