Silent Woods

Upon entering the Silent Woods, you will see Shriek and the Wisp will speak to you.

Proceed forward and jump on the first bubble to propel yourself upwards, then climb the vertical logs and jump to grab the Spirit Orb above.

Climb on the walls and jump on the bubbles to proceed, as there are fewer platforms.

Find a safe place to land, use the flower to move upwards, and go right to find a Spirit Well and a Spirit Orb in the right corner.

Head west to find Kii, who will give you the Lifeless Branch and add the quest The Tree Keeper, asking you to find a plant expert.

Continue west to find a hut just after the platform ends.

If you have a decent amount of Gorlek Ore, return to Wellspring Glades to ask Grom to build houses for the Moki and remove thorns, which will enable side quests.

After Grom builds the houses, go to the hut near Twillen and speak with the Moki, who will tell you about his family house in the Silent Woods. He will give you a key and ask you to tell his parents to come to the glades, adding the quest Family Reunion.

Enter the hut near Motay to find a Spirit Orb.

Once Grom removes the thorns, new paths will be revealed. Access the branch on the tree above Grom to find a Spirit Shard that makes the arrow hit multiple enemies.

Drop down to the platform on the west to find a Moki. Speak to him, and a new project will become available to Grom. He will ask to dig the site for a heart-shaped acorn, and the Into the Darkness side quest will be added (ignore this quest for now as you will need skills acquired later in-game).

Before leaving the area, jump on the platform to the left of the ladder to find another Spirit Orb.

Dive into the lake and swim left to find an air pocket with a Spirit Orb.

Swim right and when you reach an air pocket, jump out of the water to find a Spirit Orb on the ceiling.

Enter the house you find to meet Lupo and receive the side quest The Silent Map. Explore the Silent Woods, and you will receive a 50% discount on maps from future areas. Lupo can also sell maps for Energy Cells (2000), Life Cells (3000), and Shards (4000).

After talking to Lupo, break the furniture to get some orbs.

Go to the entrance of Wellspring Glades if you haven't reached it yet. Go to the platform above where a creature and a house are located to meet Tuley.

Talk to Tuley to receive the side quest Regrowing the Glades. Speak about the Lifeless Branch to update the quest.

Proceed to the Silent Woods and talk to Kii to receive the Last Seed. Enter the hut and grab the Petrified Doll to update the Family Reunion quest.

Return to Wellspring Glades and ask Tuley to plant the seed to complete The Tree Keeper quest. He will plant a Spirit Tree near Twillen's location.

Talk to the Moki to complete his quest. After he leaves, enter his house to find a Spirit Orb.

Head back to the Silent Woods. Enter the hut in Silent Woods to find another Spirit Orb.

Drop down the path and proceed east. Use the platforms and wait for the right time to jump on the bubbles. Jump over the spikes to land on a platform.

Jump ahead and use the bubbles to get one Keystone.

Go back to the platform, climb the wall, jump right, then jump back left, and use the walls to reach another Keystone. Proceed through the gate.

Advance, and a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will trigger. You can now control both Ori and Ku. Keep going east to advance.

Glide over the swamp and find embers on the ground. Flap Ku's wings to generate a gust of wind and glide through the hot air to ascend. You can head west to grab a Spirit Orb on the ceiling.

As you ascend, a Floater will approach. Lure it upwards and flap your wings to throw it against the wall on the right to get a Gorlek Ore inside.

Once you land on the place above, go to the opening directly above you to find a Keystone.

Meet up with Kii ahead. Keep upwards and you will see a cracked wall on the left and a gate on the right. Lure a floater and flap your wings to throw it against the wall to explode it. Fly over the spikes, and as you descend, head east to land on a platform. Then jump ahead to get the Keystone.

Go back to the place where you broke the wall. Lure a floater upwards and throw it against the spiked plant to get another Keystone.

Go to the place where the floater was to get the final Keystone.

Proceed through the gate. Use the hot air and go back a little to grab the Spirit Orb.

Keep advancing and you will find a giant Owl's skull. Go upwards to find Kii.

Shoot the plant on the skull's mouth so it closes. Proceed east. Shoot the plant so you can pass and make an air burst to throw the floater and explode the wall to get the Spirit Orb.

Flap your wings to ignite the flame and use the hot air to ascend and get the Gorlek Ore. Head back and keep upwards while avoiding the spikes.

You will find the statue of the Howl. Proceed west and carefully glide down to get the Spirit Orb and keep advancing west.

Glide through the swamp and shoot the green blob with your bow so you can advance. Use the hot air to ascend.
