The world of Squirreled Away might be small, but it’s also a delight. Once you’ve spent some time in the first region, The Forest Nook, you’ll have likely completed all of the quests there and talked to Daredevil, unlocking access to the next part of the map, Fountain Springs.

The first friendly squirrel you’re likely to come across in Fountain Springs is Tiff. Like most squirrels in the game, Tiff is going to have a quest that they’re going to ask you to complete, and you’ll need to accomplish this for Tiff in order to progress further into the map. Here’s everything you’ll need to do.
Where To Find Tiff
Tiff is located straight ahead and just to the right of where you’re going to enter Fountain Springs for the first time. They’re standing on the far side of a park bench, sitting in front of a broken fountain on the armrest.
If you’re ever having trouble finding another character, enter Squirrel Vision to highlight their positions and your distance from them.
Talk to Tiff, and they’ll start you on The Fountain Rider quest, requiring you to craft a Bonker (if you haven’t already) and to fix three valves, which will restore water pressure to the fountain.
How To Craft A Bonker
To craft a Bonker, you’re going to need:
- Eight planks
- Four can scraps
- Two pull tabs
- Two resin
You’ll need to scrap some cans to get the pull tabs you need, and there will be plenty of cans aroundFountain Springs. The other resources can be easily found and crafted in The Forest Nook.
Where To Find Every Valve
Once you’ve got your Bonker in your tiny hands, you’ll need to use it to fix all three valves that go to this fountain.
The First Valve
The first valve is going to be extremely close to Tiff and to the right of the fountain in question.
The Second Valve
The second valve is going to be pretty far back and to the left. It will be past the squirrel sanctuary for Fountain Springs, and to the left of the small river in the area.
The Third Valve
The third and final valve is going to be back behind the map in Fountain Springs and near the small bridge that goes over the river. There will be a large wall that elevates the next area above Fountain Springs, and on that wall, you’ll find the valve just to the right of the vending machines.
Return To Tiff
Once you’ve fixed all three valves with your Bonker, you’ll need to return to Tiff. Tiff will thank you, and that fountain is going to once again function correctly. Because the fountain works correctly, you’ll be able to propel yourself up the stream of water and to the area above, which will be needed for progression.
