How to complete Mummy and Daddy
Game dataA step-by-step walkthrough built from the quest's journal entries, clue letters and reward data.
Missable: Worth up to 3 Mice friendship points. The Mice reward in Entropy needs at least 10, earned before Napoleon's Prison.
Don't attack the parents. If you kill them, the journal says the Mice swear never to aid you again (step 4) — you lose this quest's +3 friendship and its rewards, and the Mice reward in Entropy needs 10 points.
- The Mice ask you to bring Cheese to their 'mummy and daddy'.
- The parents have been possessed by Nephtoglobin (step 2): to put the cheese in their cell, you must calm them first.
- Find the music box — the Mice say their parents calm down while it plays (step 3).
- Play it, open the cell and leave the Cheese on the plate without fighting (step 5), then report back to the Mice.
- Reward: a Tiny Whisker Gift and 3,000 Catalysts, plus +3 Mice friendship for sparing them.

The Mice have entreated me to bring cheese to their mummy and daddy. I cannot help but wonder why these adults are employing their children for such tasks, instead of tending to them themselves. I shall speak of this when I encounter the parents.
- 2
I should have known... The parents the Mice spoke of have already been possessed by Nephtoglobin. If I still wish to place the cheese in their cell, I must first find a way to calm these creatures before opening the door.
- 3
I have discovered a music box. The Mice claim that Mummy and Daddy grow calmer while music plays; this may prove useful when entering their cell.
- 4Possible ending
I could not restrain myself... No matter what the Mice call these creatures, they remain beasts, and beasts must be slain. The Mice are devastated; they have sworn never to aid me again. This may be the single worst decision I have yet made.
- 5
I managed to place the cheese upon the plate within Mommy and Daddy's cell. I must return to the Mice and tell them of my success.
- 6Possible ending
A certain intuition whispers that sparing these creatures was a wise choice; had I slain either, the consequences would have been dire and haunted me to the very end of my journey.
