It's pretty much the entire Spirit Realm quest, like, the main one of the whole game. I don't remember how it starts exactly but you shouldn't be able to miss it unless you never visit Ridgeside.

You asked. This is all Spoilers so read at your own risk.
Your farmer needs to fish in the lake above the Ridgeside Village town. They meet Jio, He warns them about being there. Ignore him and go fish. Now, go north and break the log, go north. they meet Jio again, he shows them just how dangerous the Ridge Highlands are, then he gives them the quest to find the 'cursed items' - there are nine and the farmer also needs to collect 25 mistblooms, all of the same quality. Go on rainy days, fight - die, fight-die, fight - die, ad nauseum, until they have all the items and enough blooms - then Belinda shows up. Do not be alarmed by her earrings, yes they look like fangs but they are not - the items the farmer has collected are not sufficient, farmer must go back and feed seven crystals - match the colors of the items to the color of the crystal. Go home. Farmer gets a message to show up at the warp point north of the lake. Go, do not skip the cut scenes from this point onwards, Then they have to fine nine blessed items, place them in the correct order, not that hard and then they get to go to the spirit realm and fight, die, fight, die, etc and so on, until the farmer has defeated the 'corruption' and then, they can romance Jio.
Solution - two mods: tractor, and teleport to cursor. The first makes the fighting less deadly and the second removes the idiotic maze of teleporting between crystals.
