Another Temple quest - how do I get into the woods?

[worstcase11]

I'm not offered a job as a lumberjack as a female character, and if I remember right that was what triggered the option to enter the woods behind the carpenter shop?

The female protagonist has different jobs available. You can work as a waitress for Mai in this version.

I've worked countless times over for Mai all the way to level 3 and still nothing on the matter occurs. I've finally managed to activate that section when I found Slater over at the Wild Dance, though unfortunately I activated when I got near the end of the story, but he may appear there earlier, just keep an eye out for Slater to be there, and then talk to him and he'll activate the area to be accessable when he mentions those woods behind his place of business, afterwards you can access said area.

@Rookie (ZOE): Thanks I'll look whether he is around.
Maybe next playthrough I can do the quest before the graveyard.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

No problem, I still really want to know how to start the quest with Belle on the female MC variant, since she can't be found in the area she usually can be located after getting to Floor 13 of the Dungeon like one could in the original male MC variant of DD.

[worstcase11]

@Rookie (ZOE): I haven't found her yet either - though I have not exactly been looking for her.
I'm currently trying to recruit Roine but it is conflicting somewhat with my plans to have Marina keep the inn - someone wrote in a guide that one shouldn't enter the inn for several days until the letter from marina arrives, but that is where Roine wants to meet for dungeon diving.
I know from experience that he leaves town, if he isn't taken to the dungeon on time.
Well I'll try to lure him away from work in the evening.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Yeah, that's the "tip guide" I made that isn't as thorough as the other "WIP Guide" is, but if you read further down the "tip guide" it says that it is fine to enter the Inn after stepping onto Floor 15 of the Dungeon, just do NOT talk to her. Also, be sure you suggested the new services idea to her before stepping onto Floor 15 or beyond.

[worstcase11]

@Rookie (ZOE): Good to know - and I already got my letter from her the next day after returning from lv 15 so now I only have to take Roine to the dungeon.
I'm playing it very slow.
Gonna have a chat with the Priest next maybe someone in the church or Mak is Belle's target.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Alright, PLEASE let me know when you find out the way to start Belle's quest, since I REALLY want to save her in the female MC quest as well, and from the Random Tips I saw whilst delving in the Dungeon it seems that the female MC variant of DD has the risk of a party member dying during Belle's quest, for the female MC variant of DD anyways. Still dunno who's at risk though, but as long as it isn't Danthienne, Fiona, Caecilly, Kumokiri or Jane then i'm not too worried, though i'd still like to prevent both the party member and Belle dying all the same regardless, really.

[worstcase11]

@Rookie (ZOE): Found Belle - She is targetting Dart. My max Floor is 15. Go to the Bridge after midnight for a scene with Belle.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Alright, i'll do so when starting my second female MC run, thanks a lot, I really do appreciate it!

[worstcase11]

@Rookie (ZOE): :( I messed it up - Belle is ok but I lost a party member.
I wasn't able to enter Belle's house before I had a talk with Dart. But I couldn't talk him out of visiting Belle and she killed him before I arrived. And I accidentally saved in the wrong slot too - better make a backup save before talking with him.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

If the "WIP Guide" for the original version of DD is any indication then I think it's safe to assume that Belle's quest activates when one sets foot upon Floor 13 of the Dungeon, the very same floor that activates the Water Monster Invasion event in Ecallia, so i'll need to prepare accordingly for both, with the Ghost Cape (obtained by passing round 4 of the Dark Elf Village monster fights) that nulls all dark-type element damage on the one who has it equipped, being EXTREMELY invaluable if forced to battle Belle in order to have her non-hostile, though I do NOT want to kill her. Thanks for letting me know, i'll be sure to create backup saves for each event so I can try to prevent both Dart and Belle's deaths, if you have any information on how to prevent both of their deaths (Dart foremost, but I don't use him often anyways, so I myself wouldn't be put too off by his demise, though I fear that the guilt would eat through Belle like acid though, so yeah, i'd like to find the way for them both to survive, as I already know how to cure Belle's vampirism from the original male MC variant of DD after all. ) then i'd truly appreciate it.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

(apologies in advance for the double-comment, but just had to do it so that you'd be notified of my question is all)

I'm also trying to find out how to start the quest involving the lone male thief robbing people around town (I already know who it is, I just can't start the damn quest as easily as the original male MC counterpart can is all), if you know how to start that quest as well then i'd appreciate it.

[Rookie (ZOE)]

(apologies yet again for the triple comment stack, but this is another thing I wanted to make sure is all) Do you need to do some Dungeon Dives with Dart in order for the event with Belle to activate? I'm just asking to make sure, since I think the asshat Barry's "Build Gym" quest is quite possibly blocking the Belle event from activating, since he's sitting in the precise spot that Belle usually sits at the Flower King pub when she's cured of her vampirism due to his stupid Gym not being built yet (i'm saving up for 35,000 gold so that the Garden expansion helps IMMENSELY with gold conversion via processing Basil ingredients grown in the MC's garden into Green Potions via the Alchemist when she arrives, which can be sold for a very solid 9,000 gold for each 9-batch of Green Potions comprised of 9 Basil ingredients grown from Basil seeds acquired from Noah's farm, making sure that each one is watered daily to prevent them from expiring as they grow into the Basil ingredients), so yeah, just wanted to make sure if one needs to do some Dungeon Dives with Dart first before the Belle event activates and since I usually never use him I just dunno if Dungeon Diving with him is necessary or not, so yeah...

[worstcase11]

@Rookie (ZOE): I am not sure - I had Dart in my party relatively often, and I have built the gym already as well.

That said, I dug up an older savegame from before my talk with Dart, but I have yet to find a combination of dialog, where he agrees to forfeit his date with Belle. I am also worried, that he might attack Belle if he realizes she is a vampire, so I might be able to save him but not Belle if I chose my words poorly. (Not too keen on flirting with Dart to get him out of it either, it might stress the relationship with Ark who is currently in the guild too. And seriously x_x who would want to date Dart?)
