Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands A Farmer’s Ardor is the second side-quest you have to complete in the Queen’s Gate area after finishing the Goblins In The Garden. Farmer’s Ardor is a side quest that features multiple objectives, and it is longer than the previous one, which serves as an introduction.
The main characters you’ll meet in this quest are Alma (aka the rich jerk from the Goblins In The Garden quest) and Flora, an NPC who spawns only after getting rid of the goblins in Alma’s garden. This means that to play A Farmer’s Ardor, you’ll need to finish Goblins In The Garden.
As you can see on the map below, A Farmer’s Ardor starts at the same location where you completed the previous quest, except that this time, instead of talking to Alma, you’ll need to speak with Flora.
She’s found by the garden behind Alama’s house, and you should hear her yelling after you complete the previous quest. If you check with her, you’ll find out that the goblins you just killed were part of Flora’s plan to win Alma’s heart. Because Flora is in love with Alma, and you, Fatemaker, just ruined Flora’s plan to save Alma’s garden.
Now, you’ll need to do something about it, and once you accept the quest, your first job is to deliver Flora’s flowers to Alma.
Take the flowers from Flora and bring them to Alma’s door. Here, you’ll want to ring the bell or the green skull, and Alma should come to the door.
After Alma comes out, hand over the flower and talk to her to find out that she’s not interested in Flora because she’s a rich jerk while Flora is a poor country girl. Alma also outlines that she’ll fall for Flora when a polka-dotted poet goblin recites poems for her.
So, now it’s time to bring the bad news to Flora, who is not ready to give out just yet. Instead, she’s on a mission to find (aka develop) a polka-dotted poet goblin with your help. To start, you’ll have to find a goblin loincloth.
Where To Find a Goblin Loincloth for Flora
The moment your objective changes, open your map, and you’ll see a marker that points to a new location north of Buttsville. Travel to that spot, which is the same as the location of the third Rune Switch you must activate.
The marker moves to a side area known as the Rampant Parts when you approach the location. On your way, after crossing the bridge, get the Scroll collectible, then head inside. Here, you’ll find a lot of goblins, and you must kill them until the Goblin Loincloth drops. You can see it below.
Where To Find the Stinkiest Loincloth
Upon finding the Goblin Loincloth, you have to locate the Stinkiest Loincloth, per Flora’s instructions. Luckily, Stinkiest Loincloth is only several steps away from your current location. Specifically, you’ll find it in front of the ruins on the northern side of the Rampant Parts.
This item is not dropped by an enemy, so look for it at the cliff’s edge. After you get it, the quest is far from over because you need the dankiest loincloth.
Dankiest Goblin Loincloth Location
For the Dankiest Goblin Loincloth Flora needs, you need to continue exploring the Rampant Parts. This one is found further to the north, also in the ruins, but to get it, you’ll have to kill a goblin named Grimble the Stinky. Make sure you run after the small goblin and shoot him, then loot the Dankiest Loincloth.
Great job, Fatemaker! Now, deal with the remaining goblins and head back to Flora. Give Flora the loincloth, then wait for her to attract the goblins. Or one specific goblin named Glornesh who is going to become a poet.
But for this, you’ll need to continue the quest.
How To Obtain the Polka Dot Dye
The Polka Dot Dye is in the Honor’s Tower laboratory, which can be accessed via the catapult on the small hill nearby. Jump on the catapult, shoot the tiny target, and after a small jump, you’ll get to the Honor’s Tower. Here, you’ll want to check the courtyard and get inside the laboratory via the large wooden gate. Avoid the traps inside, and keep following the linear tunnel to get to the back of the tower.
Now, you’ll see several air vents. Jump over the first one and crouch to avoid the second one; then, you’ll see several skeletons around the corner. Kill them to open the gate nearby, then on the right side, on a small altar, is the Polka Dot Dye you are looking for.
Grab it, then head back to Flora using the catapult nearby and hand it over so she can continue her project.
Where To Find Bard Tongues
The last ingredient you need to obtain is five Bard Tongues. Luckily, these are pretty easy to get since they are dropped by the dead bards in the cave near Alma’s garden. Follow the marker on your map, and when you get inside the cave, start killing the Zombie Bards collecting their tongues (pictured).
After you get five of them, return to Flora and watch her work. Eventually, she’ll finish her project, so you may want to call Alma. Again, you’ll need to interact with the doorbell. A Farmer’s Ardor quest ends after Alma realizes Flora is a genius. Except that, it’s a bit too late for Alma since Flora has already found her soulmate.
