After passing the Bullguard's wooden gate, you enter a forested area. The main path leads directly past two Wolf guards near a Shrine, then to an axe-wielding Wolf Stalwart by a small bridge. Continue through a tunnel, where an optional mini-boss, the Wandering Wight, awaits.
Exploring Echoes of the Past
Upon entering the forested area, a sloping path appears to the left. For those who wish to explore, the right path leads to a Wolf, some Purple Lingzhi, and a small pool containing two Croaky enemies guarding Jade Lotus.
The main route is straightforward. Follow it past the first two Wolf guards near the Shrine. This leads to an axe-wielding Wolf Stalwart positioned by a small bridge over a stream. Proceed straight through a tunnel. This tunnel is guarded by the Wandering Wight, a formidable but optional mini-boss. This enemy is more challenging than most in the chapter, so it is encouraged to run past him on the first encounter and return later after gaining strength and abilities.
