Here’s how you can properly sort inventory to solve Phillip’s Worries quest in AFK Journey.


Ever since its release, AFK Journey has been trending worldwide among both hardcore gamers and casuals. Even those PCMasterrace folks who tend to look at anything released anywhere other than PC with skeptic apprehension seem to have found the game pretty enjoyable. And there’s a good reason for it—the game is superb!

In true action RPG fashion, AFK Journey offers a plethora of side quests and activities that you can complete for bonus experience and items. The Phillip’s Worries side quest is one of the shortest side quests in the game, but the solution to this quest can be a bit puzzling.

In this guide, we’ll give you a step-by-step walkthrough on how to Inventory Sort correctly to complete the Phillip’s Worries side-quest in AFK Journey. Let’s hop in.

How to Unlock Phillip’s Worries Quest in AFK Journey

There are three prerequisites to unlocking the Phillip’s Worries quest in AFK Journey. Firstly, you need to complete all the stage 4 Town quests in the game. You also need to reach Resonance Level 132. Lastly, you need to have Vaduso Mountain 3 unlocked, as that is where you’ll find the Merchant Phillip to start the quest.

Completing the quest rewards you with 143 Hero Essence, 5 A-Level Soul Stones, and 40k Training Manuals. It’s a pretty nice boost at this stage of the game, so there’s no reason to skip this quest.

Step-by-Step Guide to Solving Phillip’s Worries Quest

Here’s a three-step solution to completing the Phillip’s Worries side quest in AFK Journey for those having trouble with it:

Step – 1: Finding the Quest 

The first step is to find the quest giver, which in this case is Merchant Phillip. If you meet the prerequisites for the quest, head to the Vaduso Mountain 3 and go to the remote part of the forest. The coordinates are 530  and 284. 

You’ll come across Merchant Phillip once you get to the location. Talking to him, you’ll find that someone messed up his inventory when he got lost in the Dark Forest. He will also add some extra bits of backstory, but you’ll find that out when you play the quest yourself.

Basically, you need to solve two short Inventory Puzzles to complete the quest.

Step – 2: Solve Inventory Sort Puzzle 1
