The Arborian Highlands present a new set of environmental challenges, including rocky terrain that requires specialized mounts to traverse. Here, you'll find the city of Arboria, a hub for new gear and quests, and begin your ascent towards Yggdrasil.
Navigating the Highlands
From the Snaerfelt Campsite, head east into the Arborian Highlands. You will need to fight and mount a sparkly runny Eggoskeleton. Use its ability to hop up the rocky ledges to reach Arboria at the top.
Arboria and Side Quests
Arboria is a sificant settlement where you can purchase new equipment from the item shop. After a series of cutscenes, you will leave Arboria and can pick up the side quest "Fit as a Fiddle" to the north. This area also introduces you to the Grove of Repose.
The First Forest and Wight Bulb
Your journey will eventually lead you into the First Forest. Before entering, you may be tasked with defeating a rare monster called a Wight Bulb, which can be found in the Grove of Repose. This creature can be challenging due to its high health and paralyzing attacks.
