The first time you hear about the Sea People from Dr. Bacon inย Dave the Diver, itย really does soundย like a myth. Not to mention, it makes Dr. Bacon sound like a conspiracy nut. As it turns out, the Sea Peopleย areย real, and once you’ve gained their trust, they’ll ask for your help (as if Dave didn’t already have enough on his plate). One of the quests you’ll come across is Kazhin’s Reading Time, wherein Kazhin needsย a very specificย book and tasks you with finding it inย Dave the Diver.
Dave the Diver: Kazhin’s Reading Time Quest Guide
[Updated May 27, 2024 – Rewrote, reformatted, and clarified information]
It’s not enough to reach the Sea People Village to unlock the Kazhin’s Reading Time side quest inย Dave the Diver.ย There areย a series of side quests you’llย have to completeย before eventually fighting theย Truck Hermit Crab boss.ย Only then will you get theย chain of quests that leadsย to Kazhin’s Readingย Time.
So, what you want to do first is:
- Defeat Truck Hermit Crab boss
- Complete โSea Person at the Workshopโ
- Complete โFind the Childrenโs Bellโ
- Complete โPet Squid Selgioโ
- Complete โWedding Song Recordโ
- Complete โRepair Kinglonโs Statueโ
After all that nonsense, youโll unlock Kazhinโs Reading Time. Youโll find Kazhin in the Seed Shop. Heโll send you over to the Temple to retrieve a book called, and this isnโt a joke: There are Mutant Sea People in the Basement, and as King I Canโt Just Stand By, I Must Do Something. Oh, and thatโs the second volume; I can only imagine what the first volume’s called.
To reach the Temple, use the portal in the village, then talk to Niamo inside, and she’ll try to help. Did you forget the title of the book? Dave sure did, and now he doesn’t know what to tell Niamo.
Apparently, it’sย very commonย for Kazhin to ask for books with ridiculous titles. The good news is she presents you with the cover of three books, and you just have to choose the right one.
To complete Kazhin’s Reading Time inย Dave the Diver, choose the book with a merman on the cover. If you highlight the book, it’s described as having “zombie-like sea people,” which matches the title Kazhin gave you earlier.ย Take it back to Kazhin, and he’llย give you 20 Bei, 15 Credits, and Seaweed Seeds.
