The Hungry Hiker is an NPC that fell down the ravine at the Mushroom Gorge. Interacting with him will begin a quest in which he asks the player to bring him food. After the quest is finished, Hungry Hiker will tell the player to visit him again prior to 144 SkyBlock days (2 real-life days). The quest is completed after being fed 10 times without failing, and the player is rewarded with an UNCOMMON 
Farming Exp Boost.[1] He can also offer the item as a reward for an offer in ⏣ The Garden.

Bugs[]
- Hungry Hiker can ask for a food item that is "30x Cooked Rabbit", which is self-explanatory. However, no such item exists in SkyBlock, as Raw Rabbit cannot be cooked in a furnace. No alternatives can be found and this would mark the end of the Hungry Hiker quest at the moment.
- The same thing happened with "1x Rabbit Stew" before June 22, 2022.
