The Haunted House is an optional area that can be unlocked after completing Chapter 2 (Star Lake, Topple). To gain access, follow these steps:
- After finishing Chapter 2, return to the Mana Village.
- Go to Moti's house (top-right corner of the village).
- Look for a shining object near the fireplace. Interact with it to pick it up.
- Take this object to Moti. He will recognize it and provide you with the means to open the door to the Haunted House.
The Haunted House is a unique dungeon with its own set of enemies and challenges, often featuring spectral foes and environmental puzzles. It's a good place to find unique items and gain additional experience. Tess can sometimes be found here after it's unlocked, offering different dialogue or interactions.
