The red bean comes from the Big Bad Wolf, the blue bean from the pigs' ruined brick house, and the yellow bean from Longlocks' bed. Obtain all three, then plant them in the marked field. If you want to preserve Syanna's protective ribbon, visit the Little Flint Girl before leaving the illusion.
Reach Syanna and start the bean search
On the fairy-tale branch of The Night of Long Fangs, find the playroom's key behind the painting and open the wardrobe containing the fable book. Inside the illusion, travel west toward the Wicked Witch's hut. The historical map is unavailable; use the objective markers and recognizable landmarks rather than waiting for a normal region map.
During the witch's swoop, knock her down with Aard or a crossbow bolt and attack during that opening. Afterward, speak with Syanna and reach Joss, dealing with the wolves around him. His answers are deliberately unreliable clues.
Check each bean's actual loot location
| Bean | Task | Confirm before leaving |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Recover the red hood from the corpses in the well, swim through the exit, give it to Syanna and reenact the wolf's story. | Defeat and loot the Big Bad Wolf. |
| Blue | Use Aard on the surviving brick house. Deal with the pigs so you can loot outside combat. | Take the bean from the exposed table/plate. |
| Yellow | Climb Longlocks' tower and defeat her wraith encounter. | Inspect the bed at the top. |
These are three collection checkpoints in one quest, not three separate hunts needing different guides. If planting is unavailable, revisit the matching loot checkpoint and check the journal before assuming a script failure.
Visit the Little Flint Girl before departure
At the snowy village, win the ribbon through Gwent or purchase it; the historical price is 500 crowns. Hear Syanna's story when the conversation opens. The ribbon protects her later, but it is not the entire reconciliation checklist. Keep a save before leaving this realm if you want to reconsider that outcome.
Plant the beans and leave through the well
Follow the field objective, clear the nearby pixies and plant the beans. The beanstalk leads to the Cloud Giant. Dodge its heavy attacks; the historical guide describes electrified metal piles as opportunities to stun it when it strikes them.
After the fight, continue into the castle courtyard and jump into its well to return to Toussaint and proceed to Tesham Mutna. Leaving before obtaining the ribbon cannot be corrected simply by replaying a later ceremony. Use the earlier realm save for a missed choice; current return exploits and console repairs are outside this guide.
