I discover many Beauties AND Horrors inside the Hidden Forest,
Butt.... this is how it all Started
Rewind
A place i have seen one too many times, it is hopelessly mundane,
but for the sake of exploration, i decide to dive in and see why it glows?!
It's like a sandstorm in there,
this place is actually a tavern, or like an Inn?..
Hmn no i would call it more tavern, since an Inn doesnt host businesses as you would see soon..
Well, until the attendant came and knelt before me, (i didnt ask him to?), for a split second, i wondered what place this really was xd..
Deep in thought, but i found a place to change my hairstyle. this place is actually a Tavern / Inn.. the other hairstyle has been making me look serious..
then i began exploring, first - what is that place?, anyway i saw some jars at the entrance it means something is down there..
then this place is an empty Workshop, i learnt the Spirit who ran this business is not here anymore
then this place, the spirit who created Wings is no longer here too.. hmnn,
then this place, the spirit who developed...., what did he develop again?.. Anyway, its empty too, but i found three empty workshops owned by spirits who disappeared long ago..
up here, still in the tavern, a Spirit, (or rather a creature) relaxes beside a big stone of bathing water..
I jump into the water to get a better reflection of the sunrays..
Amazing underwater light glow..
I go down deeper into the store, and guess what I seee? A Potion Store..
Hmmn, whatever has potions got to do with me, let alone Sky??.. would i possibly craft magic liquids soon..
My exploration was incredible in the Tavern, even though very mundane yes, but I was also struggling to connect it all..
what re they trying to say: the spirits who disappeared, the empty workshops, the portion store?..
but then i remember, earlier, a creature signified for me to follow him down the jars route, but i ignored that, i wanted to get my bearings first around the tavern..
And now, i decided to go check it out..
Turns out, He provided the Answers
Spooky
Found ya my man!
Three tunnels, three empty workshops, there Spirits lost, does it connect?
turns out it does..
I cleanse some impurities out of the way and my guide here reveals to me that, I can now collect three different sets of Dyes, So the actual name
are dyes NOT potions,
Perhaps after i fill the quotas, will they return back to their rightful place in the workshop?.
Back out side, and it is Twilight.
Some spirits are seated at a store (i dont care wat that store sells lol).. so many stores lol
I pass them without a word (or, uhhh, they dont say a word to me)
I sight this babyish, floating creature, so I decide to capture him for keeps..
ACT 2
Now, let me retell:
I pass through the Daylight prairie Portal, and the moment i get through, no Spirits follows me, I only notice after a while of soaring through to the mission lands,
Some Dancing candles.....
Beautiful screenshots of Birds Flying, they all flock towards the Elders Temple, the same as my destination..
A Lone figure, me, standing, thinking of how to soar through those thick clouds[?]..
I analyse a takeoff position..
[Launchpad]..
Now arriving at the Temple, the fields are free from sunflowers... but ever still windy..
My One way ticket to the Hidden Forest..
it would appear, i have successfully rescued spirits in Daylight Praire, i had to reach this destination on my own to unlock the next pathway
this is the Intersecting land between the Hidden Forest and Daylight Prairie:
No fear now, just follow the birds..
That is NOT very hard to do xd..
The Hidden Forest is full of Great Walls forbidden you from Entry.. only the Brave..
The entrance is open this time, otherwise i have to open it myself..
I found a very cool friend, she guided me through the entrance. it was a very nice welcome..
the great wall enclosure
ripples of water
Me shivering, i wasnt expecting all of this to be candid xdd..
Me and my friend scaled the perimeter, A New Door!!..
and it is raining..
I am left to my Fate,
I Unlock the door, And Find?..
my first spirit in the hidden forest..
Woah, time to reverse engineer like its my last name? loll
I am also collecting Dye Spills on the way, and Filling up Three Dye Containers (i still dnt know exactly how i would use them)
I Unlock another door, my second in the Hidden Forest..
And follow the spirit to learn about his past Memories so I can understad his story
[Dont pose for the Camera Yet Chel]... xd
More Memories to relive..
Soon, we are left alone, this is how he really is, his current form,
and... its time for me to do my job, the one thing I can aid him in...
I serve him with my Light..
Whats gonna happen???
Yeahh, just how i like it... In his normal spirit form!
Dont cry Spirit Buddy, I Shall lead you Home!!..
And that is where the adventure cuts, Deep inside the Hidden Forest...
I cant wait to share more, the remainder before I hit a Blank>>>
Uhh, no spoilers, Okay.. Auf Wiedersehen Gamers!..
The second part of the forest was beautiful. Flying through the sky, following birds, and helping spirits felt magical. When you restored the spirit with light was very touching and meaningful.
thank you for your comment.. it is quite a beautiful game in many ways than one, just as you have outlined. I think i enjoyed my visit to the forest the most bcos it was a contrast to the mild and soft parts ive experienced so far.
