One way to spice up The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat is to befriend and marry the Hermit. But how do you do that? I’ll give you all the tips and tricks you need to successfully complete the mission.
Who is the Hermit of Granite Falls?
The hermit is an NPC in The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat that lives deep inside the woods of Granite Falls. The NPC can be either male or female, this varies from game to game.
The Hermit can be an attractive young male or female, or an old crooked old man or woman.
The Hermit is a reclusive character, often hiding away in their secluded cabin, making it a challenge for Sims to interact with them.
How do you find the Hermit?
To find the Hermit, travel to Granite Falls Forest National Park. There’s a hidden entrance to the secret area where the Hermit lives.
The entrance is located inside a huge green bush. The branches are blocking the entrance but you can click on it and further explore the area.
You also need to answer a series of questions correctly to be able to enter the secret area.
How do you befriend the Hermit of Granite Falls?
You can easily get to know and become friends with the Hermit of Granite Falls. You need to take it slow because the Hermit doesn’t like rushing things out.
Use a lot of Friendly social interactions and talk about nature and plants.
By the way, if your Sim has the Loves Outdoor Trait, use the “Enthuse about the Outdoors” social. The Hermit shares that trait as well, so you’re guaranteed to get positive results.
Building a relationship with the Hermit can be a test of patience and determination. Gaining their trust requires time and effort, but the rewards can be extraordinary.
Sims who manage to have meaningful conversations with the Hermit may gain valuable life advice or even uncover hidden secrets about the world.
As a quick reminder, befriending the Hermit of Granite Falls is a requirement for completing Milestone III of Outdoor Enthusiast.
