Are you looking to bring peace to the garden and invite Em to the village in Mineko’s Night Market? Here’s what you should know. Completing side quests and inviting visitors to join your village is a core part of the game. However, some villagers have tricky quests, and the game doesn’t offer any hints on how to progress. One of those is Em’s quest to bring peace to the garden. On the bright side, Em’s quest is the only one that’s so vague, so you’ll have an easier time with the other visitors. Let’s see how to complete it.

How to invite Em and bring peace to the garden in Mineko’s Night Market

To bring peace to the garden in Mineko’s Night Market, push the four rocks in the sand area nearby toward the center of their respective sand rings. This will create zen and allow you to complete the quest. You can push each rock simply by walking next to it. Let’s explain everything in more detail.

You will first meet Em in The Gardens, next to the zen garden. There, her quest will begin with the following dialogue:

  • Argh! There’s gotta be peace around here somewhere.

However, after that, you won’t get any indications of what to do. Thankfully, the solution is easier than you think, as all you need to do is push the four rocks around Em to the center of the sand rings. Keep in mind that after doing that, the quest won’t be completed. Instead, you’ll also need to bring Em 24 pieces of Wood. Then, she will move into the village, and the quest will be complete.

Also, Em is only one of the visitors available in the game. For a full list of all eight NPCs, here’s our Mineko’s Night Market visitors guide.
