All new features in Palia Toadstool Tales update
Palia's Toadstool Tales update features new quests revolving around the Zendruu Tree, friendship quests for Ulfe, photo mode upgrades, new seasonal events, cosmetic items, and other such assets for the Spring season, and so much more. Here's a full breakdown of the patch notes for this update.
Zendruu Tree quests
It's time to venture deeper into The Elderwood with a series of new story quests focused on exploring the Zendruu Tree. In this quest series, you'll pick up right where the last story missions left off, which means it's time to return to The Elderwood Adventure Zone and confront the ancient Zendruu Tree. Your goal is to heal the forest and get answers to mysteries surrounding it.
Ulfe friendship quests
Ulfe, a villager you can meet in Elderwood, is being upgraded to a full-on companion you can befriend in this update. He's finally getting quests, which means you can steadily work on getting to know him better and progressing his storyline.
For now, he only has friendship levels one through four, as many villagers do, but this may be expanded upon in the future. He's also part of the new main storyline quests revolving around the Zendruu Tree and The Elderwood.
Photo mode improvements
Palia's photo mode feature got a foundational upgrade with this update, which essentially means the basic framework has been reworked and improved. The new system supports filters and special effects, with the Sepia filter being the very first one that's been added. Additional updates will add more and continue to build upon this feature in the future.
Path of the Tadpole

Spring activities
Spring has arrived in Palia, bringing with it some general aesthetic changes to the world to fit this time of year. This season also introduces the Open Season event, a fresh festival that's perfect for hunters, fishers, and adventurers.
Ranching Retirement Acres
Watching animals get older and eventually perish can be quite sad and disheartening in Palia. Luckily, you can now keep them alive forever thanks to the new Ranching Retirement Acres feature. It allows you to keep your favorite animals safe from death forever by retiring them.
We've included all of the features packed into this update here, but you can also review the official patch notes for more detail. While you're out and about enjoying this update, there are plenty of tasks you might want to work on.
