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.
i have an question, i did al the quests, and im also level 16, but still i dont get the call from herman… i have no idea why xD
do you have an idea?
Are you sure? Have you given the false reports to GED Jarlahiem, Explored VotHD, Helped Helga with her new summer house? You also need to be liked by GED office Jarlahiem (atleast 1500 rep points)
Leila i have figured out you have to completely finish the summer house quest with helga before you get the text from herman. Then you have to complete a series of quest to find the secret path to epona which takes a lot of time and not quickly finished hope this helps
Are you sure you have Friendly with Jarlaheim G.E.D Office?
same, I’m so annoyed
I have the same problem😭😭
I know you guys commented last year XD buuuuuttttttt……. I also have a question.
So, I’ve just finished getting Gretchen actually home to her parents in fort pinta, and the next quest I had is the one where Bob is floating around in the water and you have to save him. Is this linked to Epona? Or the Epona quests (for both of these), and if so, how long will it take until I unlock Epona? And if not how long will it be until I’ve unlocked the Epona quests?(for both assume Im not staying over night). I’d appreciate if someone could help me out :). Thanks guys 😀 Im also over half way in lvl 16 if that helps and have done all the golden hills and dino valley quests. 😀
Same, I’m pretty sure that I’m nearly done with it too.. I’d like to know if that’s linked or a new quest they added before you get the Summer House quest?
I’m right where you are and I have the same question. I’m almost halfway through level 16, just need a few more xp
I’m having the same problem, I just can’t seem to get the quest after I have helped Gretchen to Fort Pinta please help ☺️
Is it weird that I got into Epona when I was super close to level 16? I mean why do you need to be level 16? 😀
I unlocked it at level 15 😀
Yup same!
um, so im really trying hard to unlock it all today… -;-;- is that even possible
I unlocked for my friend in about two days. Well two days because I started in the evening, and it took about an hour and a half to finish the path, and then there’s a race. Well, I bet you have it by now lol, but hope this helps anyone with the same question!
I am on level 17, have done all of the above and still have not received any thing or any mail from Herman. I was wondering if it’s possible that the reason I can’t move forward is because I have some unfinished quests still on my board (like the one with the bees and the one with the cake?)
Do you have to complete the Summer house quest i have gotten to Deception and detect i think but i have completed the rest
Yes, you do. If you “have” finished that
quest, and all the others, then make sure u got a tourist t-shirt from Helga and the other 2. Then, ur supposed to unlock Epona 😶 Good luck in unlocking it 😃👍🏻
I have completed all the quests except for the help Helga with the summerhouse one, will it pop up eventually I am level 15
If you get a quest in golden with the smugglers called Late With Smuggling, then once you are finished with that questline then you will have a timed quest called Newcomers, which is the summer house quest 🙂
I have just finished late with smuggling (where you go to the smugglers den and ask for the map and key) and I haven’t gotten the timed quest.im level 15
I don’t know if it sent the last time but I did the chain of quests and everything and i haven’t gotten the abandoned summerhouse?
Is the late with smuggling one where bob falls in the water and you have to rescue him etc
I just finished “Late with Smuggling” Quest (timed over couple of days) and now received a new timed quest “Newcomers” – I should be very close to get to Epona now. I’m in middle of Level 17. The “Late with Smuggling” quest is where Bob falls in the water several times and the current take him away much further north and requires several rescues. There is a shark rescue as well. It is NOT the quest with the key and the map which was WAY earlier (Level 15 sounds right).
I have a question, do you have to completely finish all the levels in dino to unlock epona? Or no?
Just the quests with nic. The camp building quests with the prof are not required to unl9ck epona.
Okay, thank you! I have unlocked epona now, and I’m super excited. 😀
I had Helped Helga with their summer house. Jarlaheim G.E.D. office and snuck internal reports out to Herman at Jorvik Stables. I am also admired with G.E.D and I also unlocked Valley and hidden Dinosaur and explored the area for Nic. I also unlocked Golden Hills. Im also half way of 16 and i didnt still havent opened epona why?
I am the same as Lova, I am friendly with G.E.D, (with a reputation of 1700), did everything with Nic, everything with Herman, helped Helga and I am almost leveel 17, and still cannot get into Epona, or did I get anything from Herman???
I have not gotten into Epona yet and I am on level 11 but I really want to buy the Icelandic horse:( Also I love u SSO plz write back to me:))) HOPING TO BE PART OF THE TEAMMMM
Im not a staff member of sso. Just another fellow player 🙂
I dont know if this was answered before but… do you have to do the daily quests of Nic Stonegaurd or just the like yellow quests?
Just Nic’s story quests. The quests with prof einstein are not related.
I cant just get there. Help me plz. I have done all the quests, are on level 18.
That sucks because you were supposed to unlock it 2 levels ago. Try contacting Game Support.
same as me
The text message from Herman will arrive on the day of the “Evicting G” quest, which is day 3 of the “Newcomers” Quest – helping Helga the German with the Summer House. As soon as the last Quest in that storyline is done on Day 57, you will get a pop up SMS from Herman to see him at his house in Jorvik stable. You can complete all the quests from there on day 57 and get into Epona on day 57! That is provided that all the other requirements mentioned in the blog above are in place. Good luck!
Thanks for the info!
I’m in the mission where I get to Epona but how do I get Dorith’s trust?
Hi, do you have to be liked or just friends with the GED? ❤
Do you unlock New Hillcrest (with iceys and things like that) as soon as you unlock Epona? Or do you have to wait a few days and do quests?
All of epona is open once you unlock the gates in Stormgarden.
What level do you get the Summer House Quests? I didn’t get them but I completed the G.E.D quests for Herman, am Friendly with G.E.D Jarlaheim Office, and I am about to get the quest for A.A.E Reply for the letter from Nic Stoneground. 🙂
I am currently doing the Explore the Frozen Mist Valley Quest!
What if you already did ALL of those quests but just aren’t level 16 yet?
Wait… Are the Helga quests the ones with the campfire?? I’m guessing no.. But I have done everything but no “Newcomers” quest.. Why?
I’m also level 16 (about a quarter of the way to the words) no Epona though
Do I need to also complete the daily tasks given by nic? Or not?
No, i think just any yellow story quests, up until you meet prof einstein and begin her quests.
Hey I have to wait a day for the summer house but when do you have to sneak reports to Herman??
You’ll get a quest with ms drake at the jarlaheim office in which you work for her but be a double agent reporting to herman.
I have done all those quests I believe, since I have no quest connecting to the summer house anymore or Nic and I am more than friendly with the J.A.E office, but I haven’t got a text from Herman yet? I’m level 16 also.
When you get the quest with the summer house sorry for my bad english
thanx 4 da help guys 😀
I am getting rather frustrated here. I cannot get into Epona. This is where i am. I am almost at level 17, I have done everything with Nic in VOTD, I am more than friendly with the G.E.D, office, I have brought the reports to Herman, and helped Helga, what am I missing? At South Hoof, I have done all quests there, including with the Hermit.
I am stuck.
I have a problem, i have done all of those things, Im friendly with Jarlaheim G.E.D. office, i have helped Nick with exploring the area, German tourist and the Herman quest with the Jarlaheim G.E.D. office, Im level 16 and i have nothing atm, have i missed something?
ok, lvl 16. done herman quests. done nic sg quests. haven’t got a clue about summerhouse quest, what do I do.
I can’t get into Epona and I checked which quests I have to do first, and I did them all. Still can’t get in
I am almost half way through lvl 14 and I still haven’t unlocked Golden hills yet do you think I will be getting in soon?
Yes, don’t worry. I only got into Golden Hills when I was level 15. My friend also emailed Star Stable Support and asked, and they said the general level of when you got in changed to near end of level 14-15.
Yes. But u unlock it somewhere near lvl 15 …
I got Epona and I LOVE it I can help if anyone needs help
Paige, I need your help getting into Epona. I am going crazy because I can’t figure it out. I have done all the things I should have, but can’t figure out what I might have missed. I am at level 16, almost 17 and already have explored South Hoof.
Hi, I have done all the quests that everyone said I needed to get to Epona, but still have no way to get in? I have asked for help with this at least 5 times already and nobody has been able to give me the correct answer.
You have to be at least level 16. Are you fully sure you have done all the required quests?
Yes I am very sure. There must be something else that is keeping me from getting into Epona.
I have reached level 16 half way to 17 and done all quests needed and 1500+ points with ged jarlaheim office and still nothing has poped up, any suggestions of what to do? Thanks!
Oh my word I don’t know how to do the quests with Mrs.Drake
Help pllease?
I got it i think in lvl 8/9. You need to get friendly to the Jorvik Stables
When do I get the “late with smuggling” quest?
It’s in GHV (Golden Hills Valley) and you have to unlock that area, although I have done that quest and nothing has came up….but best of luck!😉
So I am level 16 and I was exploring hidden dinosaur every day so I became liked with Nic and I don’t if that is what I am supposed to do or is supposed to be a real quest not just a daily quest for exploring dinosaur…. Please answer…….
You need to finish all his story quests and have met professor einstein.
I’m only level 15 and super close to level 16 but how do I finish the summer house for Helga????????????????
>.<
Hi Maggie, I’m exploring the VOTHD right now, met professor Einstein, more than friendly with GED, and help Herman. I’ve done the quest with the smugglers to get the key and map, but no quest about helga and her house. I’m wondering if I have to do this other quest in GHV where you get leaves for prizes?? I’m on level 15 halfway to 16 but nothing about the house had popped up!! Please help! Thanks😊
Hi Abby! Im in an even worse situation! Im half way through lvl 16 and no quest with Herman, GED, or Helga’s house. I have done the leaves for prizes and idk if it actually helps but I’d recommend doing it just in case. I have also done all the Dino valley and Golden hills quests that are coming up! Unfair right! But my freind who unlocked it said that when you help Gretchen get home to her parents (which last about 4-5 days) nearly half way through level 16, she said it should mean you are Unlocking Epona and quests very soon! Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks!! I guess I should just try to level up and maybe something will come up!😊 Good luck trying to get into epona!
I’m kinda all over the place in star stable. I unlocked Jaharleim at level 5 ish and started the quest where Justin goes to his grandfather at level 13 ish. I just unlocked GHV and VOTHD not to long ago. Will this effect when I get epona?? Some of this stuff is on day 55 and I know I’m past that…plz help!
The days on the blog do not correspond to the game, especially posts from more than a few months ago. Unfortunately, unless told the prerequisites to unlocking a new quest set, I cannot know what is required or what level quests unlock at. I have been getting lots of questions about the summer house quests so I have sent a message to the staff asking about when they unlock but have not received a response yet.
Have you gotten a reply from game support? Because I’d really like to know as that’s all I need to get to Epona.
So, for the summer house quests, do you receive those when Helga and her family GET there or after you help them find their daughter and they are in Fort Pinta? It’s been a while since I helped them when they first got there so I am a bit foggy about what those quests were called and what I did to complete them. Just let me know =]
I think you have to rescue gretchen first and then they tell you about the summer house they just bought. Its the butned out house in hollow woods and you help them get back at mr kembell and settle in to the cottage outside of firgrove. Hope that answers your question 🙂
I just finished the gretchan is lost quest and nothing has popped up about there summer house. Right now I am doing the quest where smuggler bob keep floating out to sea…will that help anything when I finish that? Also do I have to do anything in firgrove?? I have done all the valley of the hidden dinosaur and have helped Herman with everything so….I’m kinda stuck
Hey!
Do i get Epona soon?
I am lvl 16, liked with Jarlaheim G.E.D, do all Nic storyquest, Infiltrate the Jarlaheim G.E.D. office and sneak internal reports out to Herman at Jorvik Stables. I get Newcomers quest today, but i am not stared helping Helga yet.
Ps. I REALLY Want icelandic horse, so, do me be friendly or liked or something with New Hillcrest? Sorry about my vaa English, i am from Finland.
Hello I really want to unlock peons so I can get one of the new fressians and I am at level 14, liked with GED jarla office, done the quests with Herman but I don’t know what the Helga’s summer house quest is? Do I have to unlock GHV for it? I know I need to do the quests in VotHD but can everyone plz tell me what level they unlocked the GHV because it would mean so much to me ^^ ps my friend told me she unlocked peons on level 15 so I really hope that I can unlock it at that level too 😀
Epona* not Peons but I hav one more question… Do you have to do the pony race quest with Polly?
The quest for the summer home (called newcomers) will come up after you do the quest with bob were he needs you to help them with smuggling. After you finish that, a quest that you (unfortunately) have to wait for tomorrow to do and that is the summer home quest! I hope this helps! ☺️
Thank you this really helped 😇
Hi everyone! I just got into epona and can answer any questions! 👍🏻
I have done the GED quests, I’m on the Ice Core Analysis quests, I’m also on the Kalliers quests and I have done the Helga’s summer house quests. Am I missing something?
Are you on the right level? If you are on level 16 and up you may want to contact star stable. But before you do that I recommend you check to see if you are for sure done with thoughs quests. Don’t worry about the ice core analysis that won’t help with getting into epona. Hoped this helped!
What level do I get the summerhouse quests at?
ok so I have no idea how to unlock epona. ok so I did the herman thing, the GED thing, and the vally of the hidden dino thing. but, after I did the bob and the water thing, I still do not have hegla in firegrove! will some one help me?
If you still need help, than I can help you. First, I think you need to be level 16, but I’m not sure. Also, Helga is not in Firgrove, she is in Fort Pinta. If you cannot access Epona and think that you have done everything you need, contact Star Stable’s support. If you don’t know how, just ask me. I hope you helps you.
Just keep on doing quests and soon the quest will pop up. The quest line is different for most people depending on the order you do the quest so I hope this helps!
Is the newcomers quest AFTER the quests where you find Gretchen? I have those quests about Gretchen right now.
When do you unlock the quest “Newcomers”? Also what quest are there leading up to it?
I was wondering the same thing, if anyone could tell me? >.<
Do the quests with the summerhouse come after you get Gretchen get back to Fort Pinta?
So after I got Gretchen back, I got a quest with Bob the smuggler. Approx. how long after this will I get quests for the Summerhouse?
I’ve finished all the quests in Dino Valley, I’m friendly with G.E.D, I gave Herman the reports from Ms. Drake, and I’m level 16. Did I miss anything? I haven’t gotten the Helga quest
Hi. I have not played in a few months, and just started playing again. I have not unlocked epona and have done all the other quests. How come when I do the quest thing with the GED lady, Herman doesn’t have a quest for me. I can’t talk to him… will I ever unlock epona?
I have done ALL of the quests up on the top and I have like three more XP to get to level 17 D:
what should I do
You should have some reputation quests you may need to finish before you can access more story quests.
I have done all the quests but I don’t see the reputation status in my reputation! I can’t find anyone that says “G.E.D Office Jarlaheim” only “Jarlaheim”. I’ve done all those quests and i’m almost halfway through level 16! I don’t know what to do :O
If a quest you are required to do does not show up immediately, just continue with similar quests. 🙂 So, you should do all Jarlaheim quests until something shows up involving the GED office, although it should have shown up almost immediately after befriending Jorvik Stables.
How do I complete the summer house quests?? I’ve already reached popular with GED and I’ve given him the reports and I’ve explored Dino Valley. I think I already did the first few quests of the summer house, but where am I supposed to find the rest? Thank you!
Hi, do i have to do the Ponyrace queeste and the Prove it! Queeste for. I do not have an pony at the moment and i am stuck on the Prove it queeste.
The pony race quest is not in any way a necessity, however Prove It is. 🙂 For advice on the Prove It questline, try typing the quest name into the search bar at the top of the page and following Maggie’s playthrough.
I’m only to level 17 and I still haven’t unlocked Epona. Idk if I’m close, but I’m on the quest where a tack man comes into Dino Hidden Valley. Like, am I close? Or?
Dinosaur Valley is different questline which only needs to be activated to get to Epona. In order to begin the Epona questline, you will need to have completed the above tasks. If you have not, I advise continuing with all quests not in Goldenhills, Dino Valley or South Hoof, and you will eventually get to the required quests. 🙂
I have done the quests with GED in Jaraheim and are friendly with them. Done the summerhouse quest and the GED general reports. My question is with the dino valley quests, do you need to have explored all of dino valley because I haven’t as it takes literally forever and i don’t have the time. I’ve done the quests on day 92 though. So I’m rather confused. I am level 16 if it helps.
You only need to have completed the quests with Nic in Dino Valley. The ones with Prof Einstein are extra.
Hi! I’m new. I have a question. I was looking at the quests that need to be completed, and noticed that the very first quest/goal I reached was Reaching ‘Friendly’ reputation with the G.E.D. Office, THEN Sneak the reports out to Herman. I just finished that quest, and I am OVER a Quarter until lvl. 14! Am I close?
