Kung Foo! Hero Quest Guide, Part 1: Your First Trials

So you want to be a hero? Well, in Kung Foo!, being a hero takes a lot of work - a lot of thankless work, if you ask some veteran heroes. That's OK, though - this guide is here to help you harness your Foo to your full potential and breeze through your Hero Quests with ease.

Why do the Hero quests? The hero quests are the main storyline of Kung Foo!, which means they are the bread and butter of all the game's quests. This also means that these quests give the most experience, and level you up the fastest, than any other type of quest Kung Foo! has to offer. Hero Quests also unlock crafting and other important character functions.

If nothing else, there's one last reason to do the Hero Quests in Kung Foo! - they're drenched in humor and satire.

All you'll need to start is creating a character, and then you can get to work!

The first part of your Hero Quest comes from Major Quest, an NPC standing right in front of you after you first log in on a new character. If you already started and skipped him, Major Quest is in Panda Province at (-77, 24).

Talk to Major Quest and tell him "I'm here about a quest," and then select "Find Your Foo." Notice the quest name is in gold - all hero quests are gold in color. This quest will send you to meet many NPCs in town, and will get you a little extra starting gear.

If you're new to Foo!, one helpful part for many quests is that you can "auto-route" to any quest NPC. Just pull up your quest log (Q key), select the quest, and click on the green name in the second box on the right - it will say "Target NPC," and then give the location.

You will need to visit these NPCs in order:

1. Blacksmith Dert (-56,-60) - the southwest corner of town
2. Apothecary Reberen (-80, -60) - the southwest corner of town, across the street from Blacksmith Dert
3. Tailor Stephar (-58, -71) - the southwest corner of town, next to Blacksmith Dert
4. Merchant Andrell (-59, -89) - the southwest corner of town, across the street from Tailor Stephar
5. Enchanter Brey (42, -78) - the southeast corner of town
6. Forger Aly (24, -59) - the southeast corner of town, across the street from Enchanter Brey
7. Innkeeper Chick (85, 16) - inside the Inn of the Golden Arches, outside the east town walls

Once you've spoken with Innkeeper Chick, you will complete "Finding Your Foo." Make sure to equip any new equipment you got while visiting these NPCs before proceeding.
