The two Italian brothers are always up to something, and this time in Mario & Luigi Brothership, they are chasing a worried mother’s son who has run away. This guide gives you all the details on how to start and complete the Runaway Son side quest in the game.
How To Start The Runaway Son Quest In Mario & Luigi Brothership
You pick up the Runaway Son quest by speaking to an old lady in Desolatt Island. She is found around the northeastern side of the blue pipe. You can play this side quest once you finish ‘Bulbfish Island’. While speaking to her, there is a cutscene in which the son appears and then runs away. You get to know the reason for the son to run away was because his mother found a job for him and wanted to start working. The mother then requests Mario and Luigi to chase him down and bring him to her.
How To Complete The Runaway Son Quest In Mario & Luigi Brothership
- Mario and Luigi oblige and are in pursuit of the runaway son, who’s making them do more cardio than they’ve ever done. Finally, they catch up to the runaway son, and just as they try to initiate conversation he runs away again.
- Search the ‘Island Plaza’ where you will find the runaway son using the shop owner as cover. He will once again run on being spotted.
- Go in the direction where the runaway son ran. This should take you to a connecting makeshift bridge between two building roofs. True to his name, the son runs away yet again, this time jumping off the bridge to an alleyway leading to staircases.
- Make your way toward the southwestern area of ‘Desolatt Island’ and you will see a building with an entrance as seen in the picture below. Enter this building through the roof.
- When you’re inside you will see a few levels or floors which you have to climb, but there are no bridges between two objects.
- To move through these gaps without bridges you have to use the ‘UFO Spin’ move with Mario and Luigi where both the brothers grab each other and spin very fast giving them levitational powers.
- Climb the boxes and use the spin move to move over gaps.
- Make your way to the roof and you should see the runaway son standing on another makeshift bridge. Use the spin move to reach him, after which – yes, he will run away once again!
- Thankfully, there is no chase. Jump down, to find that the son has accepted defeat, and you can now take him back to his mother; and with that, the Runaway Son quest in Mario & Luigi Brothership is complete
