Forbidden Woods Secrets

The Forbidden Woods is a crucial area unlocked after defeating Vicar Amelia and obtaining the password from the altar behind her arena. To gain access to further secrets within the game, specifically the Tonsil Stone, you must first enter the Forbidden Woods. This item is vital for progressing to other significant locations like the Lecture Building.

  • Unlocking the Forbidden Woods: Defeat Vicar Amelia and touch the altar behind her boss arena to receive the password.
  • Obtaining the Tonsil Stone: After opening the door to the Forbidden Woods, the Tonsil Stone can be acquired from one of four NPCs with red lanterns. Suggested locations for these NPCs include the Healing Church Workshop or within the Forbidden Woods itself.
  • Progression Order: It is recommended to progress through the Forbidden Woods before heading to the Nightmare Frontier and Hypogean Gaol to upgrade your weapon to +6.
  • Iosefka's Clinic Access: The fastest route to Iosefka's Clinic is often considered to be from the Forbidden Woods lamp.
