To unlock the Missing Miner quest, you must first head to The Chasm’s Underground Waterway and pick up a Work Handbook. It can only be accessed using one way: teleport to the Eastern Teleport Waypoint. Then, look left and head in a cave.

Once you’ve arrived in the grand underground area, glide down to the giant trunk on the ground. You can go inside it. There, you’ll find a table with the book laying on it.

In a cutscene, an NPC called Uncle He will appear and ask you to bring him “mushroom meat.” Go out from the tree and head to the other side of the water to collect mushrooms. Once you’ve collected enough, Fungi enemies will spawn and you’ll need to defeat them all to progress.

To bring back the NPC, you’ll only need to teleport to the nearest Waypoint from the quest signal on the map. You don’t need to walk there necessarily, because the NPC won’t follow you in the world. Then, a conversation will take place and you’ll be able to complete the Missing Miner quest.
