Canterlot quests

From My Little Pony Magic Princess Wiki

Flowchart of a partial progression through the Canterlot quests.

Below are all the quests relating to Canterlot. They are separate from Ponyville quests and you must complete the criteria within Canterlot (e.g. clearing obstacles in Ponyville won't contribute to a quest in Canterlot).

When Canterlot was first added, 40 quests were added with it, covering Queen Chrysalis' invasion and Shining Armor's and Princess Cadance's wedding. Ten more quests, revolving around Octavia Melody and her musical ensemble, were added next, followed by 15 quests focused on Aloe, Lotus Blossom, and Masseuse Pony. A quest chain with five quests, focusing on Sunset Shimmer, was next. Most recently, a quest chain with ten quests, focusing on Twilight Sparkle's transformation into an alicorn and ascension to a princess, was added.

  • Note: Simply tap the building to "interact"
  • Both of the quest objectives icons are bugged. The icons incorrectly display the Water Tower item instead of the Waterfall Tower item. Clicking the Go button for the quest objectives correctly goes to the Canterlot tab in the Store. Unfortunately, players who prefer to browse by visually referencing the icon may end up purchasing the Sweet Apple Acres Water Tower for 39 gems instead of the Canterlot Waterfall Tower for 50 gems. The Sweet Apple Acres Water Tower will not count towards completion of the quest.
