As with all the other new areas, there are a few prerequisites to be able to begin the quests to opening Epona in southern Harvest Counties.
As of right now (December 2015) it unlocks about halfway through level 16, once you have completed all of the following story arcs:
- Help Helga the German tourist with their summer house. [Day 55]
- Infiltrate the Jarlaheim G.E.D. office and sneak internal reports out to Herman at Jorvik Stables. [Day 69]
- Reach Friendly reputation status with Jarlaheim G.E.D. office through daily quests. [available after previously listed quests]
- Have unlocked Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur and helped Nic Stoneground explore the area. [Day 92]
Once all of these quests have been completed, you will receive a pop-up quest in the form of a text message from Herman, asking you to visit him at his home in Jorvik Stables.

Hi,
I am literally crying right now! I am 99% sure that I have recently completed all of the quests needed to get into epona so I contacted SSO’s game support team or whatever they are called and I told them that I think there may be a glitch in my game or something like that.
This is what they replied with:
Hey there, thanks for contacting Star Stable Support!
To be able to get into Epona, you’ll need to have a reputation level of at least ‘Friendly’ with GED’s Jarlaheim Office. You’ll also need to have completed the following quests:
The quests with Ms Drake and Herman after becoming ‘Friendly’ with the GED Jarlaheim Office;
Talk to Nic Stoneground and accept his invitation to explore Dino Valley. For this quest, you have to reached a minimum of level 15;
Help Helga and her family with the summer house they’ve bought. For this quest, you have to reached a minimum of level 15.
Once you’ve done all of these things, you’ll get a text message from Herman asking you to help him, which is when your adventures in Epona can begin!
Hope you have fun on the road to Epona!
Its really sad as I think they didn’t even read my message to see what I meant and just sent me a typical Epona checklist.
I have no idea about what I should do!
Do you think I should contact them again?
What are all of your current quests?
Deborah, what do you mean current quests? Do you mean unfinished quests? If so I have several of them. Is that what you think is keeping us from getting into EPONA?
If so, that would be the first time this was suggested…..
I meant, to be sure if you have completed the quests required, I wanted to know what ones are showing up to be done in game. But like Maggie has said; I believe this may be a glitch now.
I do not think it is a glitch. I think someone needs to research this and see what else could be going on . I think it might depend on which unfinished quests the player has???? what do you think?
Normally, yes, but if the player has completed a number of certain quests (not all prior to those are necessarily required – you are not punished for unlocking a quest without following certain ones before hand), then the Epona quest will be unlocked. Everything listed above is literally all you have to have completed to enter Epona, so if you have completed these and the Epona quest is not unlocked, it is definitely a glitch.
Lily, I am in the same boat as you. I have done everything that you did and everything
they say is required to get to Epona, and still I have not been able to do so. I have emailed several times too and all I get are the same instructions; the things I have already done. Nothing makes sense too because I am on level 17. It’s really a waste and I have just about given up on this game. It’s a shame because I really like it. Someone should be doing some research on this because right now I know there are at least 10 people that have written in that are going through the same thing!!!
Believe me, I’ve tried as well because I have been getting this question so frequently. I’ve gotten the same canned answer as you have received.
Exactly! I asked them, could you tell me when I get the quest to help Helga, and the replied with the checklist. It is pretty annoying.
You Get It after the quest where you help helgas and gremans child gretchen you need to find her like and stuff then u get quest c;
I have done everything you said SSO said was necessary, except the summer house quest. I’m almost at level 17, but I don’t know how to unlock that quest with Helga. i’m stuck. If anyone knows how to get the summer house quest, please tell me.
LilyD, I think you should contact them again, and I feel soooo sorry for you. I know how I felt when I got EPONA, I was screaming my head off. I hope you find out what is causing this, so you can get EPONA. (P.S IT IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!) (P.SS What server are you on? I just changed to Pumpkin Meadow, but I am on MAPLE STAR and WIND STAR normally. And what is your SSO username? I want to be friends with you!) ~Catherine Clearcloud
Sorry I didnt read the next comment
Hope you have a good time in EPONA!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Catherine Clearcloud
Thank you all so much. When I log on tonight I shall be sure to write down all the quests I have.
Its really disappointing since I love SSO so much.
I JUST unlocked lvl. 14. I have sent the files from the G.E.D to Herman, and are friends with the G.E.D. I have not unlocked Dino Valley or Golden Hills yet. Am I close?
Yeah, just complete DV, and then help Helga with the summer house and BOOM.
Hi Riley!
I had the same issue as you. I got Golden Hills at the beginning of level 15. To unlock Dino Valley, you’ll have a quest witn Elizabeth Valedale. It’s called something like, “The snow just won’t melt!”- I hope I helped a bit!

I did it! I got into Epona!!!
So after getting that reply from sso I sent them another email saying that I have actually done all of the quests. They asked me to tell them what was in my quest log so I did and when I logged on 5 mins later I had the newcomers quest. I had already done the quest so I did wonder why I have it again but I did the quest and boom! The text from Herman came!
I am so happy and if you are having trouble with getting into Epona you should just keep contacting game support.
Also I have just finished the quest with giving the USB from Gunthur and Helga to Mrs X and it said that there will be a continuation in the storyline but does anyone know who Mrs X is.
You will meet Mrs X in epona
Nice LilyD! ~Catherine Clearcloud
Do you only have to complete day 92 in dino valley or do you have to complete more days?
You have to complete all the quests with nic, which i think span a couple of days. The ones with prof einstein are optional.
I have explored much for Nick. Do I have to keep exploring or is it fine to do it until you’re just getting rep from it?
He has several days of story quests. Once you meet prof einstein, you are done with nic. Her quests are optional.
Ok so I’ve done everything to get into Epona except for Helga’s Summer House quest which I haven’t even received! Do I have to do something to get it? I’m beginning to believe this is a glitch in the game and I need to contact SSO.
hello!
i am level 17. and how i get quest for summer house? i try everything, but didn’t work. and i am admire with goldenleaves, but nothing…what i need to do?
I started playing SSO end Nov 2016 and been playing pretty regularly since then. I unlocked Epona yesterday half way through level 17 over 50K XP. I did all the assigned quests.
I just unlocked Dino Valley. I’ve helped Nic Stoneground but am not done helping him explore the valley, I’m at the point where I start to explore the lake and the scientist lady is already here. When have I done enough exploring to unlock the quests for Epona? Also, when do I start to do the quests with Helga’s summer house? What quests lead up to it, or do no quests lead up to it? I don’t think I have any quest relating to it available currently.
Um I have done the exploring things, I have been liked and yet I am not getting any further quests, how come?
