Navigate the treacherous Realm of Piercing Winds in Death Howl. Discover Sacred Groves, unlock maps, and complete hidden side quests like Reap or Weep and the Two-Headed Spear.
Welcome to the second part of our walkthrough for Death Howl. After defeating Cantharsis, the Great Spirit, the path to The Howling Mountain is unlocked. However, Ro must first venture into the Realm of Piercing Winds to grow stronger.
This realm is divided into three zones: The Breathing Chasm, The Hidden Vale, and The Glacial Maw. You can access these zones through The Meadows of Delusions.
The Breathing Chasm
To reveal the map of The Breathing Chasm, you must first activate the nearest Sacred Grove, located to the northeast. Along the way, you can find crafting materials in a cave by interacting with a rock. It's recommended to gather Death Howl before entering this zone to unlock cards and Teardrop upgrades.
Reap or Weep Side Quest
In the northeastern part of the zone, you'll encounter a large creature who asks you to retrieve his lost eyes. This initiates the Reap or Weep side quest. The eyes are located in a hidden cave near the northwestern Sacred Grove. You'll need to navigate past two Elder Spirit encounters and can find the Bear Skull Totem along the way. After speaking with a Moose spirit for a free Teardrop point, find the hidden cave entrance next to it. Inside, collect the Reaping Eye, but be prepared for an ambush upon exiting. Defeating the enemies allows you to return the eyes to the quest giver for the Opal Totem reward.
Two-Headed Spear Hidden Side Quest
To start this quest, make your way to the third Sacred Grove in the southwest. Read the inscription on a nearby rock about two spear heads. You need to find two Spear Head quest cards: one near the entrance of the zone from The Meadows of Delusion, and another below the northwestern Sacred Grove. After collecting both, use one during a battle to combine them into the Two-Headed Spear. Complete the battle, then return to the inscribed rock to open a cave. Defeat the Elder Spirit encounter within to receive three Teardrop upgrade points.
The Hidden Vale
Unlocking the First Sacred Grove and Map
From the southwest Sacred Grove in The Breathing Chasm, head left to enter The Hidden Vale. Follow the lower path, defeating Spirits. You may want to avoid an Elder Spirit encounter further along. Continue north to find another Spirit encounter. The Sacred Grove is located beyond this, revealing the zone's map.
The Laughing Face of Death Side Quest
After resting at the Sacred Grove in The Hidden Vale, a Spirit will jump off a cliff. Rest again, talk to the Spirit when it revives, and it will jump again. Rest a third time to exhaust its dialogues.
