Where to Find All Eternal Wells in The Dark Forest

Discover the locations and completion strategies for both Eternal Wells in The Dark Forest in Kao the Kangaroo. Learn how to find and conquer these challenges.

Alright, let's track down those Eternal Wells in The Dark Forest! They're pretty cool little challenges tucked away in the level, and I'll walk you through exactly where to find them and how to beat 'em.

Where to Find the First Eternal Well

You'll stumble upon the first Eternal Well not too long into The Dark Forest. Keep an eye out for an area where some Frogsters are hanging out, grooving to some tunes. This is also where you'll first meet the Range Frogster enemy. Instead of just pushing forward, look for a side path. It's got some smaller platforms and a spider enemy chilling on its web. Take out that spider (remember to hit the green orb on its web!) and follow the path; it'll lead you right to the Eternal Well. Just walk up to it, and you'll get the option to enter.

How to Complete the First Eternal Well

This first Well is a straightforward fight. Your only job is to take out all the enemies. You'll face three waves, with five Frogsters in each wave. It’s not too tough, but you'll need to be careful because the arena is littered with bear traps! The Frogsters can trigger them too, and it's actually pretty helpful when they do, as the traps can take out a good chunk of their health. Once you've cleared out all the enemies, head to the big Ducat in the center to find the exit.

Where to Find the Second Eternal Well

The second Eternal Well is a bit trickier to find, a real hidden gem compared to the first. Later in the level, after you've climbed a rock face, you'll enter a more open area where you'll encounter the Fire Spitter enemy for the first time. Stick around after their introduction, and you'll come to a platform with some Frogsters. Here, the path splits a little. What you want to do is hug the wall and look for some pots. They're partially hiding a gate. Smash those pots and then roll under the gate – you've found it!

How to Complete the Second Eternal Well

Forget fighting this time; the second Eternal Well is all about your platforming skills! Your main goal is just to reach the very end. You'll run into some spiders along the way, so be sure to take them out to make your jumps easier. Remember, you need to hit that green orb on their web when they attack. The platforming itself isn't super brutal, though the end might give you a little bit of a challenge. Quick tip: if you're struggling with a double jump, try using your tailspin attack in mid-air. It gives you a nice little boost in height and distance, which can be a lifesaver!
